Yeah. That wasn't too confusing, except for the concurrency between the Carnahan/what's her name fight and Antonio talking, which took me a couple reads to get, and might have been more confusing had it been split up.

Anyway, most of what we need to get out of this is the dialog and "there's a huge brawl going on." I think we got that.

I loved the scene. It was good.

Oh yeah, did anyone notice that Legendary is ELEVENTH on buzzcomix? He's almost in the top ten! Who knew a comic could get so popular so fast...

Eh, for me, it's 10% popularity, 40% updating more often than most other webcomics, and 50% being a total vote-whore.

I think I actually was in the top ten for a brief period earlier this month.

Like I said before, sometimes the incentives are better than the comics.

And hey, FMV duels. The best part of Final Fantasy VIII was an FMV duel...the first 30 seconds.

who needs quality when you got quantity, anyway.

I have to say, I'm impressed that you have been able to steadily handle a 5-a-day comic schedule and incentives as well as you have, without missing more than about 4 days. The only person I've seen do anything better than that is Mookie, and doing comics is his job.

Then there's Fred Gallagher, who can't even stay on top of a three-per-week schedule, and that's all he has to do...

Anyways, Kudos to you, for being so regular with it.

I didn't get it. Was the punch line a poor attempt at a pun?

Probablygod · Post by **Probablygod** » Fri Jan 26, 2007 9:37 am

no, it's another sephiroth reference...

*facepalm.* In a good way.

That was a really quick resolution for a Fake Villain (we have to assume that the initial bad guy is a mere pawn or future victim of the final boss.) They didn't even get a boss fight. Yet. I wonder what will go wrong?

EDIT: I just noticed the title. Vwee hee hee!

A kefka reference too?

Hazardswake · Post by **Hazardswake** » Sat Jan 27, 2007 8:01 am

That title is the best thing ever.

It suddenly occurred to me that Baron Von Snuggles is not, in fact, using thought bubbles. Heh.

Amending my earlier statement, this wasn't all that quick. President Shinra, Iscariot's apparent equivalent in Final Fantasy VII, probably had less screen-time than Iscariot. One scene of him gloating in the Sector Five Reactor, and the next time you see him, he's pinned to his chair with an unnecessarily long sword.

And come to think of it, most of Final Fantasy's Fake Villains were taken out in cutscenes...Gestahl, Shinra (both of them, although Rufus technically survived), Deling...it's only the Golbez/Edea model of "possessed lackey" that players get to fight.

Man, I'm a nerd.

Holy craps. I was listening to my iPod, Surrender came up, I was all like, "Huh, I wonder if it's been auto-updated yet," and I went to check and it was.

My mind is blown, dude.

How far ahead are you working now?

I finished today's comic around 1:00 this morning. Then I put it in the queue, but there were about 300+ people already waiting for an update on the CG servers.

You know, I don't think I can count the number of times I've been surrounded by a few low-level guards and the RPG treated it like unconditional surrender was the only option. [Insert France joke]

That's one of the things I liked about FF7. Guards who got uppity in cut scenes got their asses whupped. The game only forced you to job to mid-card NPC badguys, like the Turks. Or giant, frog-like guard-robots, that you didn't really want to hurt anyway.

I think Ramza from FFT may be the FF king of anti-jobbery though. No matter how many times he got surrounded/ambushed in the pre-fight cutscene, that guy NEVER surrendered.

Finally, he does Brain Damage. About 300 Pink Floyd strip slays, and he finally does Brain Damage.

Also, I totally can't wait to see the random NPC guard getting his party on.

Legendary has the power to be funny every day. Damn, I wish I could do that.

Nice work as always ^_^

And Carnahan and Vania make quite a pair, as well. Oooh, fanart idea

Many are the woes of the near-sighted guard.
