Taking the term "Koopaling" to a whole new level since 2016.
I'll not be accepting default names for everyone as a blanket vote; if each character is voted that way, then cool.

And, besides, it's been a while since we've named someone Bowser. :colbert:

Terra. I'm a fan of the classics, what can I say? This game was my first FF game as a kid and I didn't like changing names at that point.

As for who to change names, I have a couple of ideas. Won't say now, though~

Well, one of the vote counters on staff just did some tallies for me and it seems that Terra is the biggest vote at the moment, with 16, with the next two highest being at 5 each. They counted all the default votes as a single vote for Terra, so I'm going to go ahead, name her Terra and record the next section.

Update Two: The "Treasure Hunter"

Howdy, folks, and welcome back! Last time, on Final Fantasy VI, we woke up the esper that was recently discovered in the Narshe mines, got two of our companions killed, and woke up after our slave crown was removed. From there, we were trying to remember our name. Today, we're going to meet a new character, so let's roll.



Terra was the overwhelming winner, which is her default name. I'm cool with default names for a few of the characters, but c'mon people, let's have some fun with this!





But before that conversation continues, we fade to black.



Where dogs are rushing the house.



And a pair of guards.



Oh, what are you guys going to do? She can kill you with fire from her mind. I wouldn't gently caress with that.



Quick, use your grandfatherly manner to turn them away! Or answer the door naked; it works on the Jehovah's Witnesses.





Oh, yeah, it's that kind of video game amnesia. Beyond the basics, like breathing, speech, and her own name, Terra here doesn't know poo poo.



I'm sure we could explain the magic thing and it would work. Or just demonstrate it.





We'll get there in a minute.







There's this weird thing with clocks in FF6 hiding Elixirs and other stuff. The Elixir is a healing item that fully restores HP and MP for a single character.



With that in hand, I feel confident we can tell these guys to piss off.



They sound like they mean business.



So let's run!



Thanks for your help, guy! I'd stay and chat, but we're busy running!





Oh, thank God, they'll never see us up on this uncovered bridge in the middle of town where we're the only one walking around!



Aww, fiddlesticks.



Thankfully, they don't have any sort of ranged weaponry, so we're safe for the moment.



But they've run off, so we better do the same.



Dashing through the snow



Quick, into the mines! They'll never look there!





Oh, crap, monsters!



For our first enemy of the game, the Spritzer is suitably unimpressive.



For most of their turns, they'll use the basic physical attack.



On every third turn, they have a chance to use Cling, an attack which inflicts Slow.



They really don't like Fire. They're also Undead, so they're weak to Holy and healing magic, too.



They also only have 15 HP, so just about anything we do to it will kill it.





We could probably punch it to redeath, if we had to, for some reason.



We also earn 58 Gil.

Before we go any further, let's check out what Terra is rolling with for her adventure.



Only a knife? Hell, Biggs and Wedge both had Mythril Swords. Terra got hosed on this deal.





Hey, a save point. I may as well save. So much has happened since the last time.





Oh, and we're back to bars. I forgot to switch it earlier.



Wererats have 24 HP, making them a bit stronger than the Spritzers, but not much more challenging.



They can also use Bite, which is a stronger physical.



They're also weak to Fire, but it's good to note that they absorb Poison. Since they're rats.





And that just about sums up the Wererat. They don't always appear in the pincer attack. If they appear normally, just multi-cast Fire and roast them all at once. We also pick up 44 Gil from this fight.



Oh, dammit, I forgot to grab those chests. I was trying to record this next section quickly, so I could get this update out before bed, and I didn't grab them.



Eh, we'll get them later.





Alright, there's a doorway. Let's duck in there. I'd reckon there's a good escape route through there.





Definitely into the door.



Or not.



Okay, they've cornered us, but we probably shouldn't take them all out. We're trying to convince this town that we're not a massive asshat, after all.





Oh, well, I guess that problem's solved.



But that opens up the problem of Terra faceplanting into solid rock after falling however many stories.



She's okay! Man, she is made of tougher stuff.



Alright, let's get the hell--





--into a state of unconsciousness.

Well, if she didn't have brain damage before, she's gotta be close to it by now.



Oh, hey, a memory. That's probably good.



...Or maybe some memories are better left buried.



:stare:



But this isn't in a creepy sense. At least, not in a traditionally creepy way. More in a "This man will burn down the world" kind of way.





Fast-acting crown. Terra is completely under Kefka's control here.





Which cracks him the gently caress up.





And here's Terra taking down Imperial Soldiers.







I think there are a few identifying markers for psychopaths and we must have hit at least three of them in the last thirty seconds.



Still in the flashback, we meet...Oh, God, it's Hitler.



This guy is the Emperor, the one who wants to bring magic back into the world and do very, very bad stuff with it.





I gotta admit, in a world where there aren't any guns, having magic on your side would be a huge boon.



Hell, even with guns, having magic on your side would be a huge boon.



I can understand these guys loving the man bringing magic back into the world. On this planet, magic was the stuff of legends, the sort of thing that the civilizations of the past were founded on, that they had used to build their golden age.



While that all sounds good, what the average citizens and soldiers likely don't know about are the things like this; innocent women being forced into slavery and destruction to achieve his goals. As we know, the Empire is not good news. We've seen at least one town that wants nothing to do with them, and it's fairly easy to see why. They have war machines unlike anything that's been seen before and are more than willing to use them to pillage and plunder towns that did nothing more than stumble upon something that should have been left buried. To the citizens of the Empire, Gestahl is ushering in another age of peace and prosperity.



But, enough of that. We're back with the old guy.



Who has an interesting house guest, it would seem.



I'm sure that's a bit of a misunderstanding, guy.



Or maybe not.





But, this fellow needs a new name! Which means that I'd like you to BOLD a vote for what we're going to rename our esteemed treasure hunter.

I'll give you a couple of days for that, so get to votin'!

Once, years ago, on a small messageboard for a webcomic that was better than you'd expect given its origins (and whose creator has since moved on to paying gigs), I read a Let's Play of this game in which this character was called Cocke. To this day it feels wrong to me to call him anything else.

Huh, now that I think about it, kinda surprised they didn't change the GBA port to show both, there's enough screen space with the wider aspect ratio.

Speaking of GBA changes, doesn't this let you auto dash also if you look in the options?


As for the name, Thief. I'm sure he's played Link's Awakening and stole the Bow everything.

Yeah, this statement is truth. (PS: was last three, and functionally last four effectively: Chrono Trigger, the goons pretty much only added the H to Crono and changed Magus to his real name. Then it was DBZ, Breath of Death, Cthulhu.)
