Is it me? Or is the ff14 experience checking up on Thancred every once in a while to make sure he's okay? The man's already likely to overwork and at this point I am genuinely worried about him being on his own too long. At least if he comes along I can keep half an eye on him.
Gaius transforms like a magical girl and then we get exactly the uninteresting boss fight this dumbass deserves.
Most dungeon bosses have more engaging gameplay. I don't even know what his mechanics are because every time I've done this he just gets stomped into soup in a wave of particle effects by my gigantic party.
After the fight he casually walks away.
Okay bye
No seriously, he fucking walks out. He doesn't even run. The lights don't even go out. Brash, you preposterous halfwit.
And, again, remember that usually there are eight people here. And ALL of them just stand there while Gaius moseys away towards his giant doom mech.
okay there's the ultima weapon
what now
I've heard enough. Shoot him! Stick an arrow in his gob!
The back of Ultima Weapon's neck opens up and Gaius climbs inside. Does it need a pilot now? Gaius wasn't piloting it the first two times we saw it. I guess someone else was? Maybe it was Nero, and just no one ever gave him credit for it.
So Gaius switches the thing on and goes all bear witness to the demon weapon that will drag the world into the twenty-first century, and then we fight it. Or rather we stand around waiting for God to give us permission to fight it. The Ultima Weapon can't be damaged until about thirty seconds in when Crystal Mommy phones us up and tells us we must "look to the Light."
Yay. I feel so involved.
During the fight it barfs up Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan, and their ragdolls flop hilariously out of nowhere and onto whoever is tanking.
"No, how are you doing this!?" cries Gaius. Don't ask me, man. God's doing all the work.
Labradoodle appears and says some shit about the secret power within Ultima Weapon. Some ancient evil artifact I guess. Whatever, it doesn't matter, this never comes up again as far as I've heard.
Apparently Gaius didn't know. Gaius you complete tool, why did you listen to this guy? THIS GUY?
I'm reminded of Kingdom Hearts when MALEFICENT shows up out of nowhere and tells Riku that his best friend for life Sora totally forgot about him and he should go be a villain with her now, and he's just like yes sounds legit. Then again that was basically true, Sora pretty much HAD just found new friends and forgotten all about Riku, but that's a rant about a different Square Enix game with a completely shit story that somehow became massively popular. Maybe I'll do a long hate analysis about that one too someday after I'm finished with FF14.
Ultima Weapon does a giant glowy explody spell, but luckily Brash is protected by the power of boobs.
Not sure how this wasn't your intention, you're a dumb strong man. Blowing stuff up for no reason is all you're here for. Oh I guess this was your base huh I guess it probably wasn't your intent to blow up your own garage like a Floridian on the Fourth of July.
ohyeah also An Ascian Pisses Off Without Trying To Kill Brash With Lasers: 8
Anyway none of that shit about Ultima Weapon's true form matters because we smash the fuckin thing by punching it. Or rather my buddy smashes it by casting his doom spells at it doing like triple my damage.
Ultima Weapon starts exploding and Gaius forgets to buckle his seatbelt. He babbles a bit more of his vapid philosophical crap and then falls unconscious.
Should we like hide behind something or
Huh. Missed.
And so ends the threat of Ultima Weapon. All it took was God.
AH HA, FOOL, YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE DONE WITH THE BORING ASSHOLE, NOW IT IS TIME FOR THIS OTHER BORING ASSHOLE
I, for one, love The Praetorium. Because if it weren’t for Prae, I wouldn’t have been blessed with conversations like these between a bunch of randoms during those un-skippable cutscenes:
