Final Fantasy Tactics: Advance

INTRODUCTION
I only decided to make this Let's Play on a whim. I've wanted to do one for a while, but after reading some of them on PC, it was tempting. So hey, why not? Tara's Shaman King LP and Fabio's ToS LP kinda... inspired me? Is that the right word? xDD;;
Anyway...
I loved this game while going through Primary School, I've beaten it multiple times, and I only recently remembered it. So yeah, perfect for a LP. If you are wondering if I've played the other two FFT games, yes. Yes I have. And I consider this one the best.

UPDATE 1
April 11th 2011
Don't mind some of the screenshots here. xD;
There are some I didn't get a good shot of, but it should be fine in the end.

Spoiler:

It was a day like any oth-... Waaait. Did I get cut off here? D<

...Has anybody here ever heard of these people? xDD;;

I'm digging that street lamp.

Now the street lamp is all alone! D:

Hey, where'd it go? o-o;
Oooooh, a doggy! |D

That's a fancy book. It even gets it's own bed! Lucky.

The book. It's reading into my soul.

Well, that's kind of an ugly logo-

Ohhh, much better. I take that back.

With a start button!

I will start a new game, thanks. :D
But colour mode sounds nice...

That's pretty blue. :V

It's not as blue anymore. D:
Hey, does that girl have pink hair? o-o;

Hey, you've got the freaking main character on your team.

The main character. Never. Loses.

What bear?

Geez, you scared the kid. Leave him and his... bear alone.
Cool hairdo, by the way.

I wouldn't want my bear to get wet in the snow. :V

What is it with these guys against bears? ._.;

You don't bag bears. Ever.

Oh, you want me to say something?! Well then-

Maan. You just crossed the line.

...You're purty. :V

You can kick my butt anyday- Wait what? I SAID NOTHING.

You don't screw with bears, man.

Woo!

A name, huh...

Wait, shouldn't you know my name? Didn't the teacher introduce me the to class at all? What kind of school is this?
TEACHER: Oh hey, we have a new kid. Go sit down.
RITZ: Um. What's his name?
TEACHER: Shut up and start learning.

Marche? Naah. Let's go with something more manly.

Now that's more like it.

It's okay.

See? It's all cool. |D

Just bring your bear next time.

Oh, no! You don't need to... I was just kidding. ^ ^;

I sure am!

YES. SNOWBALL. FIGHTING.

There was no Snowball fighting. D:

None at all. D:

THERE WAS NO MEANING TO LIVE.

I'm alive again. |D

Oh, thanks!

Did you say Ritz?

Hi. |D
You're nice.

...

...ಠ_ಠ

I thought you were teaching me how to SNOWBALL FIGHT. D:
​

And I will post the last half of the snowball fight soon. xD;

UPDATE 2
April 12th 2011

Spoiler:

I SEE NO B BUTTON.

Wait. So if I make a mistake and hit somebody's eye, when I was aiming for their nose, I can try again?
Sweeet.

Well... I suppose.

Nice throw, Ritz! |D

What green panels?

How does that work?

Hey! At least explain! D<

YES I GET IT. CAN WE PLAY NOW?

NO.

He's totally hiding his confusion.

Finally! YES. SNOWBALLS.

Thanks! <3

Who are you?

Nice. We get to move Ritz first!

Can we attack the Teacher? xD;

He'll do. ...He looks kind of funny there. Did I do something wrong?

The Sims II: Final Fantasy Expansion Pack!

I didn't get the screenshot of it, but I missed, sadly.

And he's attacking Mewt. I didn't expect that. :V

And he missed! Wow. Two misses in a row.

Aiming for Mewt again? Geee.

One damage? Hahaha. Pathetic.

Seriously, where do all those Green Squares come from? ._.;

And he "M is"ed, apparently.

Now you tell me?! ):

Well, I donno. Couldn't they... turn around? :V

IT IS POSEIDON'S TURN. HURRAH.

Hey, I know. Let's shove the snowball in his ear.

Turning Grey won't help! >D

...I wish I was better at taking screenshots. :V

Now, it's Mewt's turn. That expression on his face... I just realised it reminds me of Cloud. ._.;

Can they see the Green Squares at all? Imagine that popping up in real life...

STOP TURNING GREY.

"Now grab your copy of the Sims II: Final Fantasy 2! With even more Sims to raise!"

Aww, Mewt. He was right next to you! D:

Look, he's turned as white as a Ghost! It's alright, you'll hit someone next time. :>

You look funny.

-skips rest of battle-

At least he had the balls to go up to someone and try shove a Snowball in their ear.

What did I just sa- You know what? Forget it. <_>;

Exactly what I'm thinking!

It's hard to see here, but they're throwing snowballs at him.

They won't, sadly. ):

And your face just broke my eyes.

LEAVE THE POOR BOY ALONE.

Your friendly neighborhood, POSEIDON.

Hurrah! :D

We can see, but can you? Your beanie is awfully low. :/

Darn stereotypical bullies. :V

She just told you to stop! Geee. What language do you speak?

This isn't good.

D:

These guys have issues. Seriously.

They're also smartasses.

What does being lame have to do with you throwing a rock? ._.;

THEN THROW SNOWBALLS WITHOUT ROCKS.

I could hug her right now.

That's a horrible insult. I could think of better. Ritz wouldn't get angry at something like that.

Ahh.

Well, white hair is awesome. I'd love having white hair. :V So is red hair.

Clearly these guys haven't seen anime.

Don't you have one? o-o;

You don't ever bag Ritz. She will slap you so hard-

Oh, okay.

WHAT. D: I ONLY GOT TO THROW ONE WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN-

ಠ‿ಠ

Poor Mewt. :<

Well, at least we got out of school early.

Where'd everything go?

Ah, that's better.

No problem! :D

Especially stereotypical bullies, ripped out of bad anime.

Indeed!

YES POSEIDON. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Heh. He thinks Mewt is a stalker.

...Stalker. :V

Always say no to Strangers.

Or that.

Something like that.

See?

I'd love going to the hospital now and then and cutting school. But that's just me.

Note that POSEIDON doesn't say WHAT he was born with.

And changes the topic.

The Final Fantasy I Walkthrough?

I bet he's playing through it as well. :V

Or his brother.

...I could make another stalker joke, but I won't.

PARTY AT POSEIDON'S HOUSE.

She likes him. :V

Best. Address. Ever.

Wonder what it's going to be about.

He's wondering too.

UPDATE 3
April 19th, 2011
Just to clear confusion with people, I had taken the screenshots for the beginning of this chapter a week ago, but when I tried to find them recently, they somehow disappeared. So unfortunately, I'm going to have to skip the meeting with Mewt's dad, and the beginning of the following part. <_>;
Again, I apologize. I hope this chapter makes up for it.

Spoiler:

That must be some book. :V

Some really old book!

If you can't read the cover, what makes you think you can read the book itself? ._.;

Awesome book transition, go!

WHAT KIND OF BOOK IS THIS!?

What's that symbol?

Who's he? o-o;

Where is all this coming from!?

WHAT THE HELL IS THAT.

Why are all these symbols coming out of the book..? D:

What the heck did you buy Mewt, what the heck. <_>;

Here comes another symbol...

Is that... a Bunny Girl? Whaaat.

And another bad screenshot. At least you can... sort of see the symbol. xD;

I've always wondered. What ARE moogles in the first place?

What did I tell you. What. Did. I. Tell. You.

That's your first guess?! You can't read a book, so you assume it's a magic spell? Kids these days. :V

...Nevermind.

Square-Enix is obsessed with Latin.

I thought you couldn't read it!

/points above.

Everybody does, kid.

A Book with random people and symbols flying out of it. Of course!

Well, that's a bit harsh.

Don't cry, POSEIDON. It's out of character. :V

...Well, he DID miss hitting someone who was right next to him. ...With a snowball.

Ohh, the irony.

It's funny because they were reading a book just then. :V

So is this game.

I enjoy comic books as well.

Hey, that's not a book. ._.;

I would pick Tales of Symphonia.

Indeed.

...Is this meant to be some kind of fourth wall thing? ._.;

It's only been a few minutes.

Something's going to happen.

It's all good, Ritz. |D

Mewt's been staring at POSEIDON the whole time. What is this I don't even-

Note that he doesn't say good-bye to Mewt.

He wants to say good-bye to Ritz... Personally. -puts on shades-

Everybody does, kid. ...Wait. Deja vu?

Can't think of any sarcasm here.

Wait, where's the door?

The screen turns to black...

Shi's going doooown.

UPDATE 4
Coming soon!​

 

[donavannj]

That is a weird explanation to a snowball fight. :V

Looking forward to more of this! ^_^

 

[Pokestick good times.]

Sounds like one hell of a snowball fight.

So am I :3

 

[Zeffy]

Inferior FFTA is inferior. However, enjoyable game still. But Final Fantasy Tactics/WotL is still better than it on every angle I look. :3

Oh, and kill Mewt! That Mewt! Kill him! xP

 

[~Ryukaa]

Thanks guys. xDD;;
I'll be sure to have the Snowball fight up by tomorrow.
YES I WILL KILL MEWT
Maybe, maybe. xDD;;

 

[Wansen]

Very good RyUkaaAAAAAA my boy~
Kill them all when you get the chance.
ALLLL.
I cannot wait for the next update.

 

[~Ryukaa]

Aaaand Chapter 2 is up. It might not be as good as the first. Sorry if it isn't! xD;

[Pokestick good times.]

> Do it.
Cancel.

That IS some strange snowball fight.
The yellow house sounds like an awesome place :O

 

[Cirrus]

I approve.

: d

FFTA was iiiiinfinitely better than FFTA2 (terrible storyline, much :f). And Marche x Ritz is cute.

/ will stalk this thread

 

[donavannj]

Who throws a rock inside a snowball? :V

And you sound like you're shipping Ritz x Marche at times, lol.

 

[Zeffy]

Mewt didn't die?! That bloke!
Ehh, waiting for #3 I suppose. I'm a bit saddened because of Mewt not dieing. *sigh*

 

[Yuoaman]

Those bullies, man... you think they would have learned by now that EVERYTHING IS WORSE WITH BEARS, EVERYTHING.

Also I love this game so hard, man. One of the first games I ever bought with my own money.

 

[Aquacorde]

Omfg I just started playing this again a few weeks ago. :D Love this game, and look forward to more updates~

 

[~Ryukaa]

Ookay. Here is update 3, after a week. Just to clear confusion with people, I had taken the screenshots for the beginning of this chapter a week ago, but when I tried to find them recently, they somehow disappeared. So unfortunately, I'm going to have to skip the meeting with Mewt's dad, and the beginning of the following part. <_>;

[donavannj]

Very amusing yet again. (b'-')b

And clearly Mewt's been staring at POSEIDON because Ritz's pink hair is ridiculously blinding. :V

 

[Wansen]

WHAT IS THIS?!?!
POSEIDEN/Mewt
My Boy, you have learnt well~
You must do your next update so awesome~ XD

 

[Giga Flare]

Ah, this game brings back memories. I have 400+ hours in A2.
You named Marche POSEIDON, which I don't know why, but I found to be hilarious.

 

[~Ryukaa]

Oh, geez. I haven't been able to upload this is in a while. : (
Sorry guys! I'll try get the new chapter up by this weekend. Sorry for the delay, again.

 

[Conjurer]

Lol, this game used to be my drug in 7th grade. But those assassins. So overpowered. >:| What kind of sword-carrying lizard/dog dies (or gets turned into stone) when some bunny girl pokes him? ._.
