			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We put it out there and got a decent amount of responses and these are the new faces of 8Bit Gaming.</p>
<h1>Dream Com Productions:</h1>
<p>Dream Com Productions is a company and venture that&#8217;s been in formation for years, but is just now becoming a reality. Ideally our ultimate goal is to become an in-store endeavor that sells games, anime, manga, etc, and also has a LAN center and gaming lounge. The way gaming stores like Gamestop and Best Buy work these days is you come in, you get hassled about what you&#8217;re looking at, and then it&#8217;s pretty much &#8220;buy something or get out.&#8221; With DCP we want to make a place that&#8217;s a haven for gamers and fans of our culture. They can come in, play games, relax, talk with all of us, and interact in a social environment. We also look to give back to the community, and to use gaming&#8217;s broad audience and resources to do fundraisers for those in need, charities, organizations etc.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been a competitive gamer for about 6 years, and started out playing Halo for the Xbox. When I got into competitive gaming that&#8217;s really when I kind of fell in love with the gaming community because when you go to events our tournaments, its not just immature people trash-talking, there&#8217;s a lot of socializing, and people meet new friends, possibly even love interests. On the surface it seems like you&#8217;re just going to this tournament with a bunch of &#8220;nerds&#8221;, playing a game and being anti-social, but the tournament attendance for video games is almost double most people&#8217;s graduating class in high school&#8230;nothing anti-social about that!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1>Neobullseye:</h1>
<div id="_mcePaste"><strong>Age:</strong> 21</div>
<div><strong>Location:</strong> Somewhere in the Netherlands.</div>
<div id="_mcePaste">Schedule: Weekday evenings around 19:00 to 22:30 (excluding friday), Around 17:00 to 22:30 on Saturdays, and whenever I feel like it on Sunday, though almost never before 12:00. (All times are on a 24-hour clock, GMT+1)</div>
<div><strong>Recording system:</strong> Just plain old Xsplit combined with an internal mic that records both my voice and the game at once. It takes a bit of tampering with the individual volumes and recording volume, but it&#8217;s by far the easiest to set up. I also dual-stream on two channels at once, just &#8217;cause I can.</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This is where we get to see a little more into the mysterious man that the Queen has been seen with.  But, due to a dumb Burmecian solider this is cut short and quickly turns into a rescue mission.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Continuing on the path from my last post, the party gets all the way to the castle wall in Burmecia.  Once the characters work their way through into the castle they are able to then hide out and listen to a very interesting conversation.  This is where we get to see a little more into the mysterious man that the Queen has been seen with.  But, due to a dumb Burmecian solider this is cut short and quickly turns into a rescue mission.  As the party intervenes they are greeted by a very powerful foe, General Beatrix.  Beatrix is considered one of the best fighters in the world, she has even been called superhuman.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#beatrx1">PlayOnline.com Keyword: BEATRX1</a></span></p>
<div style="float: left; width: 320px; margin: 5px 10px 5px 0px;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="320" height="270" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ql3sXy1HtUk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ql3sXy1HtUk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<p>In my opinion the battle wasn&#8217;t really that tough.  I just equipped my strongest weapons and made sure to get slow on her as soon as I could.  I also used Freya&#8217;s Reis&#8217;s Wind and had Vivi belt her with Thundara and Blizzara.  To add to all of that I also made sure to use Quina&#8217;s Mighty Guard ability to help during the fight.  Other than all of that I just kept stealing till I got all the items I wanted and then just went at her.  Unfortunately you don&#8217;t get to kill this enemy and she gets to straight up OWN your party and put everyone down to 1hp by the time she escapes the battle, but don&#8217;t worry you get to fight her again!</p>
<div style="float: right; width: 320px; margin: 5px 0px 5px 10px;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="320" height="270" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9Ny_b1jmdJ8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9Ny_b1jmdJ8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<p>So after Beatrix wuss&#8217;s out and runs away you are given control of Steiner and Dagger at Summit Station.  As you explore the area talk to as many people as you can because some give you some good info and others even give you stuff.  Once you feel like moving on talk to the attendant and you should hear some familiar voice outside.</p>
<p>Following the sounds of the voice you will find that Cinna and Marcus are back.  Unfortunately you have to deal with the annoying Steiner at this point to really be able to talk to them.  So tell Steiner to shut the hell up and then follow Marcus onboard the car to Alexandria.</p>
<p>Not to long after you get onboard are you faced yet again with the Black Waltz No.3.  This time though the Waltz is in total kill mode and doesn&#8217;t even respond to anything Dagger questions it about.  Again this battle is pretty simple with the right tools.  Just give your team your strongest weapons and have Steiner focus on his physical attacks and Marcus stealing and Dagger for protection spells/healing.  Be careful not to kill this guy to quick (1292HP) as he does have 2 items to steal which are a Lightning Staff, if you missed in Burmecia, and a Steepled Hat.  (Sorry no video on this one, I didn&#8217;t make the highlight in time before the cast got deleted!)</p>
<p>After the battle you load back up on the car and head out to a quiet little place where you can stock up on items even find some chests.   Once you have explored the area throughly, go to the gate and show the guards your pass and continue on to Bentini Heights.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#apup1">PlayOnline.com Keyword:  APUP1</a></span></p>
<p>Now on your way to Treno you could make a little pit stop somewhere else and get some extra stuff&#8230;though it is your decision on if you want to or not.  If you choose to go this route look for a cavern behind a long stretch of forest to the southeast of Treno.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#stella2">PlayOnline.com Keyword:  STELLA2</a></span></p>
<p>This area is called Quan&#8217;s Dwelling, which is a good place for resting and also leveling up if you need it.  There is even a very interesting piece of writing on the wall that involves Vivi, so be sure to check it out!  So once your done here head back the way you came to Treno.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#ates1">PlayOnline.com Keyword:  ATES1</a><br />

<a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#stella4"> PlayOnline.com Keyword:  STELLA4</a></span></p>
<p>So now that your in Treno I advise you to look around play some cards and def give the fountain some of your time and money.  If you have been collecting the Stellazzios you will find the Queen of Treno here that accepts them and gives you items for each one you give her.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#griff1"> PlayOnline.com Keyword:  GRIFF1</a><br />

<a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#stella7"> PlayOnline.com Keyword:  STELLA7</a><br />
</span></p>
<p>Also there is a optional boss, when you enter the door near the moogle there is a Griffin in a pit.  I took on this boss just to see how well I would do and it was pretty easy.  I was able to really kick its a$$ due to the fact that I turned in like 5 stellas was able to get the blood sword, which made Steiner ridiculously strong against this guy.  So if you are sure you will win this fight go ahead and take him on.</p>
<p>Now Treno also offers another perk to this place and that is the auction.  The auction has some pretty nice items in it, but I advise you make some decent Gil before you start bidding.  Check out the keyword link above for more info on this.</p>
<p>So after all the games and running around you now get back to the quest for the Supersoft.  This is actually pretty easy to get, just follow the storyline and you&#8217;ll have it in no time.</p>
<p>So after you meet with Dr. Tot and get the Supersoft and go down the hole you will then have to activate an insect driven automobile to take you to the next area.  This is pretty simple as all you have to do is go to the right hit the activator and then go back to the left and hit the feed lever.  Once you get on the insect you will eventually run into a boss fight.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#ralv1"> PlayOnline.com Keyword:  RALV1</a><br />
</span></p>
<p>Ralvurahava, the gigantic worm you run into, isn&#8217;t really that tough of a fight either, but there are times when it can get annoying.  So what I did was made sure everyone who had antibody had it equipped.  I also made sure to cast protect on my party members and also had Marcus constantly stealing.  After that just have your party beat on this boss until it either dies or leaves the fight.</p>
<p>After the boss fight you then get control of Zidane and the other party members in Burmecia.  After all the dialog head to the big sandstorm and begin your climb up the trunk.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#kupnut1"> PlayOnline.com Keyword:  KUPNUT1</a><br />
<a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#itms1"> PlayOnline.com Keyword:  ITMS1</a></span></p>
<p>Before you actually start moving your way up the trunk be sure to equip your characters with your strongest weapons and maybe even give some of your characters some Desert Boots.  Also once you start your way up the truck LOOK EVERYWHERE there are items all over the place!</p>
<p>Everything in this part of the game is pretty straight forward&#8230;but there is one area that you would want to pay attention to and that is when you get to a ledge where you can put your hand in a hole, do so.  This will fill the area up with sand and allow you to access the chest on the branches above later on.  Also, when you enter the room with the quicksand be sure to have your joystick pointed in the direction you want to get out while your hitting the X button so you jump out in that direction.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff9900;"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#itms3">PlayOnline.com Keyword:  ITMS3</a><br />

<a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#itms4"> PlayOnline.com Keyword:  ITMS4</a></span></p>
<p>So once you have covered all you can in the trunk you will eventually end up in the Cleyra Settlement.  It really doesn&#8217;t hurt to do the walkthrough of the settlement that way you are kind of given a heads up as to where things are at.  Also, like I have said before, LOOK EVERYWHERE there are items all throughout the place.  Once you feel you have found all the items talk to the guards at the cathedral and you will learn of a giant creature attacking a child, so you must run down to the beginning and go right to see the Antlion sitting in the quicksand.</p>
<div style="width: 320px; float: right; margin: 5px 0px 5px 10px;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="320" height="270" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_6vXjd0LNqs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_6vXjd0LNqs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<p>The Antlion fight wasn&#8217;t really that hard but there were also a couple annoying things about it just like the others.  What I did was equip some Desert Boots, kept Freya&#8217;s Reis&#8217;s Wind up, had Vivi use Blizzara and everything else was standard stealing and just physical attacks.  I wanted to keep stealing to get the Gold Helm, but I was getting tired of the upkeep on my characters so I figured I would just get through the fight and get that item later in the game.</p>
<p>Antlion will eventually die and the invasion of Cleyra will begin.  Freya is now your party leader, and I would advise running to save first and go up to the cathedral for a nice item. Then head down to the bottom of the trunk taking as few side paths as possible.  Eventually Puck will come out and redirect the party back up to the settlement.</p>
<p>Now this part can be a little tricky, in my opinion it is really only important if you want the items from the people you save.  If you could care less then just go through it is fast as you can and don&#8217;t even think about the selections.  If you do care about who you save you do get some interesting items from the survivors, so here is the way to do it to get everyone to survive:</p>
<ul>
<li>At the very beginning tell the Oracles to head right</li>
<li>Outside the Inn tell Dan&#8217;s family to go left</li>
<li>Tell family to follow over the bridge</li>
</ul>
<p>After you take care of all the soldiers you end up back at the Cathedral where General Beatrix will be waiting.  Be sure to talk to all the survivors for the extra items I mentioned above.  Also be sure to save, just in case the next battle is to much for you.</p>
<div style="width: 320px; float: left; margin: 5px 10px 5px 0px;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="320" height="270" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HCchCJoxMVM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HCchCJoxMVM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<p>Outside of the Cathedral General Beatrix is waiting for you again and this fight can be a little more annoying than the first so be sure to throw slow on her as quick as possible.  I also used Mighty Guard, Freya&#8217;s Reis&#8217;s Wind to help with healing and stole from her as much as possible.  Vivi&#8217;s Blizzara spell packs quite a punch on her also, but don&#8217;t do it to much or you will miss out on some of the items you could steal.</p>
<p>After you beat her to a pulp she again drains your party down to 1hp and runs off, which is pretty annoying.  The only good thing about this is that I am looking forward to the final match with her.</p>
<div style="width: 320px; float: right; margin: 5px 0px 5px 10px;"><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="320" height="270" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xIzdSS3TzOM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="320" height="270" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xIzdSS3TzOM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div>
<p>So Beatrix eventually escapes with the help of the Queen&#8217;s black mages and the group is somehow allowed to follow her.  I either missed some dialog or I am totally confused on why these mages just stand there and let the party jump on board, but anyways you end up on the Queen&#8217;s airship where you get to watch to most kick a$$ cut-scene so far in the game.</p>
<p>That was a pretty kick a$$ scene wasn&#8217;t it :).</p>
<p>More to come in my next post.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nothing like starting off a cast with a nice boss battle, am I right?  Black Waltz No.3 wasn&#8217;t really much of a fight though, which is kind of disappointing.  He comes in all kick-ass like and goes out a wimp.</p>
<p>I went into this battle knowing that I was going to try and steal all of his items: Steepled Hat, Linen Cuirass and the Silver Gloves (<a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#bwaltz3" target="_blank">PlayOnline Keyword:  BWALTZ3</a>).  But stealing was more cumbersome than I thought it would be.  After about 7-9 attempts I finally gave up, but after my next attack didn&#8217;t kill him I decided to try again and I ended up getting the silver gloves (See video below to see the fight).</p>
<p>Once Black Waltz 3 is dealt with a pretty cool chase scene kicks in.  It shows how much Black Waltz&#8217;s power is consuming him and it eventually drives him crazy.   After the group escapes the crazy Black Waltz its on to Lindlum, home of Princess Garnet&#8217;s Uncle (Cid).</p>
<p>You will quickly find out just how big Lindblum is, with air cabs to take you to different districts and vendors all over in the business district, this place becomes a nice place for purchasing weapons/items for future events coming up.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/emdIwuIxKZc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/emdIwuIxKZc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>Apon entering the castle you are instructed to go meet with Cid and catch up on why everything is going the way it is.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>**** SPOILER ALERT *****</strong></span></p>
<p>Turns out Cid wanted to kidnap Princess Garnet and that is why Zidane and his group were sent there in the first place, but lucky for them the Princess wanted to be kidnapped.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>**** SPOILER ALERT *****</strong></span></p>
<p>So after catching up with Cid you are allowed to free roam the city.  I advise anyone who plays this game to hit up the vendors and the synth shop (<em><span style="color: #ff6600;"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#torres1" target="_blank">PlayOnline Keyword:  TORRES1</a></span>)</em>.  Lots of stuff in this city that will help you with upcoming events.  Check all the building and if you don&#8217;t have enough of one item there is definitely someone around who sells it.  Also be sure you check out the pub, you have an old friend you need to catch up with.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/1vG3BbCnKK0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/1vG3BbCnKK0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><br />
After all your running around and you end up in the Theater District there is a chance for you to get some rather interesting items.  The weirdest item that I really have no clue what it is for yet is the Moogle Suit.  You get this item by dealing with a local celebrity who goes by the name of Lowell.  Check out <a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#lowell1" target="_blank"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><em>PlayOnline Keyword: LOWELL1</em></span> </a>for more on this.</p>
<p>But enough side stuff, now onto the Festival of the Hunt (<em><span style="color: #ff6600;"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#festiv1" target="_blank">PlayOnline Keyword: FESTIV1</a></span></em>).</p>
<p>The Festival of the Hunt is pretty easy to understand, run around and kill stuff and each thing you kill gives your X amount of points.  You go into this festival taking on Vivi and Freya, your new character you met in the pub.   Now there are orders in which you kills these enemies but a sure way to win is the way I did it, by taking on the big boss Zaghnol (worth 80 points).  If you took your time in the city and synthed some new weapons and stocked up on items you should be good to go, oh yeah I almost forgot you only have 12 minutes to do all of this, so be quick!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t be to discouraged if you do not win you will still receive a reward depending on who won.</p>
<p>Zidane: 5,000 Gil<br />
Freya: Coral Ring<br />
Vivi: Theater Ship Card</p>
<p>If Zidane does win though you get the reward and title of Master Hunter.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="480" height="385" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hSp5AqtHn5o?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="480" height="385" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hSp5AqtHn5o?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>So after all the fun and games the game turns serious, it seems Burmecia has been attacked and is in dire need of Lindblum&#8217;s assistance.  So head towards the Dragon gate and be sure you are stocked up because its a nice stroll over to where you end up next.</p>
<p>When you are outside of Lindblum be sure to check on the forest to the east, you get to meet a Moogle and also get introduced to a Final Fantasy classic character, the Chocobo (<em><span style="color: #ff6600;"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#choco1" target="_blank">PlayOnline Keyword: CHOCO1</a></span></em>).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Friday&#8217;s (Jan 14th, 2011) cast was actually a lot of fun.  To start the cast off I leveled a little and built up my inventory with a lot of stealing, and then went on to start some of the story-line.  I&#8217;m really starting to notice how much of the game I have forgotten and what little parts I do remember.</p>
<div id="attachment_576" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/blackwaltz1.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-479];player=img;"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-576" title="Black Waltz N0.1" src="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/blackwaltz1-150x150.jpg" alt="Black Waltz N0.1" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Black Waltz N0.1</p></div>
<p>So I&#8217;ve started noticing that the old strategy guides all pointed to <a href="http://www.playonline.com" target="_blank">PlayOnline.com</a> for extras about the game.  Well the bright-minds that thought this up I guess didn&#8217;t realize that PlayOnline.com would be dedicated to just Final Fantasy IX.  <a href="http://www.playonline.com" target="_blank">PlayOnline.com</a> doesn&#8217;t exist anymore, that I could find, for Final Fantasy IX so I went digging.  I was able to find download that someone put up that was a full backup of the Final Fantasy IX web content.  So in future blogs from now on I will add those keywords and their content so that people can find them in the future.  The Ice Cavern was actually a very short journey, you just walk in grab chest and not till you are right at the end do you take on <a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#bwaltz1" target="_self">Black Waltz N0.1</a> (which was pretty easy).</p>
<p><em>Play Online Keywords:</em></p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#icecav1" target="_self"> ICECAV1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#bwaltz1" target="_self">BWALTZ1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#morrid1" target="_self">MORRID1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#stella1" target="_self">STELLA1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#mistma1" target="_self">MISTMA1</a></li>
<li><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/bwaltz2" target="_self">BWALTZ2</a></li>
</ul>
<p>The thing with the Ice Caverns is to just pay attention really.  Look around and make sure you don&#8217;t miss the hidden doorways.  When you see chest that are in weird places just run around close to them until the &#8220;?&#8221; pops up and more than likely that will fix the issue of getting to an area you can&#8217;t access.  Once I finished getting all the chest and was near the end of the Caverns was when Black Waltz N0.1 showed his Noob self.  The Black Waltz was pretty easy if I would have actually focused attacks on him, but I wanted to steal the Mythril Dagger from the Sea Lion, the Black Waltz&#8217;s summon, but after about 10 tries at stealing I was getting tired of my character failing.  So all I did was basically steal every round and wait for Zidane to go into Trance and then I just laid into both of them.  So after I finished the Ice Caverns I was again able to free roam parts of the continent.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>*** Spoiler ***</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong> </strong></span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">This is where the Princess will change her name to Dagger (that is if you don&#8217;t come up with some nifty name for her), if that is really considered a spoiler&#8230;just CMAing :)</span></p>

<p>I would first go to the South Gate and stock up on some supplies after having an annoying conversation with the guy at the gate, who wouldn&#8217;t let me through, a shopkeeper eventually will come and sell you stuff.</p>
<div id="attachment_584" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/morridstower.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-479];player=img;"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-584" title="Morrid's Tower" src="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/morridstower-150x150.jpg" alt="Morrid's Tower" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Morrid&#39;s Tower</p></div>
<p>After so many rejections I went back out over to the Tower.  This is where the <a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#morrid1" target="_self">MORRID1</a> keyword comes into play.  Basically all you do here is meet this guy who lives at the Tower and he mentions how much he loves coffee and offers you a mission to find these coffees and if you do he will reward you.  There were a couple chests outside of the tower, but nothing to drool over.  So what next?  Well the big village next to the tower, obviously :).  This is one freaky village and Zidane and the crew pretty much think the same as I do.  The village is pretty empty except the few people running shops/inns and the annoying kids running around and for some reason everyone looks at Vivi weird.  So once the team decides to go to the Inn and take a much needed nap Zidane wakes up by himself and has to go looking for everyone.  Now in this whole sequence you will get a lot of ATEs to deal with so it is really up to you if you want to watch them, but its really just Dagger trying to talk normal and Vivi wondering around.  Speaking of Vivi, you will find him near the big wind mill just staring out at the farm fields and yet he keeps hearing the sounds that a Chocobo makes.  I am still trying to figure out how he wouldn&#8217;t know what a Chocobo is, but that&#8217;s just me.  Anyways, after a short talk Zidane will ask him to go back to the Inn, but once Zidane is out of the picture Vivi gets kidnapped by an unknown enemy.</p>
<div id="attachment_586" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Garnet.jpg" rel="shadowbox[post-479];player=img;"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-586" title="Princess Garnet a.k.a Dagger" src="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Garnet-150x150.jpg" alt="Princess Garnet a.k.a Dagger" width="150" height="150" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Princess Garnet a.k.a Dagger</p></div>
<p>So I am trying to keep a long story short, go to the shop to find Dagger and go back to the Inn to wait for Vivi, because neither character knows that he was kidnapped.  After looking around some I found Vivi by the big wind mill, but he was under ground!!  If you explored the town at all you would know just where to look to get down there, so I&#8217;ll leave that for you to figure out.  This is where the plot of the game starts getting interesting and Vivi really starts to become an even more interesting character.  After you run around and actually rescue Vivi you start seeing some foreshadowing as to what is going on in the game, with the Queen apparently creating these lifeless &#8220;clones&#8221; and having them shipped off and Dagger having no clue as to what her mother is up to.  Getting to this next part I kind of should have slapped myself because I went into it pretty unprepared.  After I did all that needed to be done in the villiage, I didn&#8217;t really think the upcoming battle with <a href="http://dtrot55.justinsonline.com/wordpress/final-fantasy-ix-playonline-com-keywords/#bwaltz2" target="_self">Black Waltz N0.2</a> would be that much of a fight.  I started out in my usual low level battle ways with trying to steal items from him, but I didn&#8217;t realize that his magic would own my characters right off the bat!  Spending most of the beginning of the battle bring a character back to life and healing really hurt my strategy of trying to get items off of this boss, so once I was able to I started pounding him with Fire magic and physical attacks.  And this is where the cast ended.  So hopefully this post was informative for those of you who might actually use it to get through the game.  I tried to leave out some of the juicy details and not give you a clear picture on what all to do so you can actually experience the game for yourself.  So until next cast, hope to see you all soon!!  <a href="http://justin.tv/8_bit" target="_blank"><strong>8bit Gaming on Justin.tv</strong></a></p>

<p>Due to issues with Bioshock 2 on my PC I decided to put that off until I re-install Windows 7 and play Prototype.  Bioshock 2 was giving me video issues and I felt that trying to stream that would make the game look horrible.  So at the present time I am about 4 hours into Prototype.  The game is defiantly interesting.  Anyone who asks me about it I tell them that it is pretty much Grand Theft Auto (GTA) on crack.  You are allowed to free roam a huge city and basically destroy most things but what makes this so much better&#8230;the fact that you yourself are just one big killing machine.  With the ability to morph your body into different weapons, upgrade your abilities to make you stronger and faster, and even consume other NPC&#8217;s in the game and take their identities defiantly makes the game worth giving a try.</p>
<p>Before I started this game I had read a game review on IGN, I think it was, and they had ripped the game pretty good and only gave it a 7.1 out of 10.  So I decided not to get the game&#8230;but when I saw the game on sale at Target for $7 I figured what the heck.  Now I don&#8217;t know if I totally agree with IGN&#8217;s 7.1 rating, but the game is definitely worth a try and like I said above&#8230;if you loved GTA then you should love this game.</p>
<p>Here is a clip of me playing the game.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong><a href="http://www.justin.tv/webguy55">Dtrot&#8217;s Gaming Channel</a></strong></h2>
<p>Hello everyone,  I know it has been awhile and my last few broadcast have been pretty scattered, but I have a good reason for the chaoticness.  My wife is currently pregnant and getting closer and closer to her due date so I haven&#8217;t been able to spend as much time on this as I would like to.  So just so you know, now you know what is going on.</p>
<p>Now on with the blog:</p>
<p>To start off I was able to finally complete Final Fantasy XII.  The end took a little less than an hour and for me it really wasn&#8217;t that bad at all.  My characters were all level 99 and using the 3 best weapons in the game.  The best part about the ending I would say was the final form of Vayne and the ending CGI (see below).  There really isn&#8217;t much else to say that I haven&#8217;t already said in past post&#8230;I loved the game.  I hope that any of you who are contemplating playing the game&#8230;give it some time to get going and enjoy it.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">***SPOILER ALERT***</span></p>

<p><strong>Kingdom Hearts</strong></p>
<p>My next game, which won the poll, is Kingdom Hearts.  I remember really enjoying this game a couple years back.  I didn&#8217;t finish it but I was way up there in getting everything done.  The last thing I can remember doing was beating Sephiroth so hopefully I can finish it for everyone who has been keeping up with my broadcast.  So look forward to more Kingdom Hearts posts and I hope to see everyone when I broadcast next. See Kingdom Hearts Intro below:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #ff0000;">***</span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>There will not be a live stream this Friday due to family stuff I have going on.  Will try for next Friday, but I cannot guarentee due to my wife being around the time where she may deliver our 2nd child.  I will update the blog if anything changes.</strong></span><span style="color: #ff0000;"> <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>MY NEXT CAST WILL COMPLETE THE GAME</strong></span>***</span></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><img title="FFXII: Superboss Yiazmat" src="http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091116064759/finalfantasy/images/thumb/1/15/Yiazmat.jpg/200px-Yiazmat.jpg" alt="FFXII: Superboss Yiazmat" width="200" height="320" /><p class="wp-caption-text">FFXII: Superboss Yiazmat</p></div>
<p>Yiazmat was actually a challenge I will admit that.  After grinding him for about a good 4 hours I was able to take him down, but it wasn&#8217;t easy.  I probably would have done it faster if I hadn&#8217;t healed in the hallway and allowed him to heal  a couple times.  I do have to admit though it was a fun fight.</p>
<p>I started off dealing with gambits and trying to figure out what strategy I wanted to go with.  I decided to try and keep one berserked character while having a support damage dealer and a support healer/buffer/damage dealer.  I will admit this strategy worked well for awhile until I reached a certain point of the battle until I had to switch things up.  (As always the music during the broadcast was provided by <strong><a href="http://www.FinalFantasyRadio.com">FinalFantasyRadio.com</a></strong>)</p>
<p>So here&#8217;s what I did:</p>
<p>Vaan: Berserked as much as possible<br />
Fran:  Support Gunner, Switched to support damage dealer later one with 2 handed sword<br />
Ashe: Support/buffer Bow, Staff, Gunner later on</p>
<p>So as you can see I had to deal with changing a lot to get comfortable in this battle.</p>
<p>I tried to keep Ashe in the hallway as much as possible and I allowed Fran some wiggle room to roam.</p>
<p>But that is basically it, until you get Yiazmat to a certain point in the battle you can grind him pretty easily.  Here are the gambits I used in the first part of the battle. (These changed during the battle ESPECIALLY near the end.  Near the End just give everyone arise and attack, it&#8217;s not worth healing)</p>
<p><strong>Vaan:</strong><br />
ally: any  &#8211;&gt; arise<br />
self: berserk<br />
foe: lowest hp &#8211;&gt; attack</p>
<p><strong>Fran:</strong><br />
ally: any  &#8211;&gt; arise<br />
ally: any &#8211;&gt; remedy<br />
ally: hp &lt; 70% &#8211;&gt; curaja<br />
ally: any &#8211;&gt; bubble<br />
ally: any &#8211;&gt; hasteaga<br />
ally: vaan &#8211;&gt; bravery<br />
ally: any &#8211;&gt; protectga<br />
ally: any &#8211;&gt; shellga<br />
foe: lowest HP &#8211;&gt; attack</p>
<p><strong>Ashe:</strong><br />
ally: any  &#8211;&gt; arise<br />
ally: any &#8211;&gt; remedy<br />
ally: hp &lt; 70% &#8211;&gt; curaja<br />
ally: any &#8211;&gt; bubble<br />
ally: any &#8211;&gt; hasteaga<br />
ally: vaan &#8211;&gt; bravery<br />
ally: any &#8211;&gt; protectga<br />
ally: any &#8211;&gt; shellga<br />
foe: lowest HP &#8211;&gt; attack</p>
<p><strong>Equipment:</strong></p>
<p>Vaan:  Yagyu Darkblade &#8211;&gt; Golden Skullcap &#8211;&gt;Maximillian&#8211;&gt;Cat-er hood<br />
Fran: Fomalhaut (changed to Koga Blade later on) &#8211;&gt; Golden Skullcap &#8211;&gt;Maximillian&#8211;&gt;Bubble Belt<br />
Ashe: Perseus Bow (switched to Fomalhaut later on) &#8211;&gt; Golden Skullcap &#8211;&gt;Maximillian&#8211;&gt;Sage Ring</p>

<strong> Wyrmhero Blade</strong>:</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 278px"><img title="FFXII: Fishing Enthusiast" src="http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100415015430/finalfantasy/images/a/a7/Fishing_minigame2.jpg" alt="FFXII: Fishing Enthusiast" width="268" height="201" /><p class="wp-caption-text">FFXII: Fishing Enthusiast</p></div>
<p>I got bored one night and figured I would go after this sword.  To even be able to get this item you have to get the 3 badges, one you get from Omega, the other from Hell Wyrm and the last from fishing.  The first 2 were probably the toughest part of this process and the fishing just takes a little time and you will get it quick.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 190px"><img title="The Wyrmhero Blade" src="http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080320071229/finalfantasy/images/thumb/1/1f/FFXIIWyrmheroBlade.jpg/180px-FFXIIWyrmheroBlade.jpg" alt="The Wyrmhero Blade" width="180" height="157" /><p class="wp-caption-text">The Wyrmhero Blade</p></div>
<p>To start it off just go to Balfonheim and talk to the Fishiing Enthusiast near the aerodome.  Talk to that person twice then run to the aerodome entrance&#8230;but do not enter&#8230;run back and the rod will be up against the wall.  Take that rod to Ruskel at the South Bank villiage (Dalmasco Estersand).  Fish with Ruskel for awhile until you get all the color bottles, once you get those you have to run around to certain places in order to get the message that is inside each of the bottles.  I am just going to copy and paste the info below  from FinalFantasy.wikia.com just to save me time in explaining a lot of this process.  <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Only thing I need to let you know is once you get past the Midstream area you must go and obtain the Matamune Rod.</span></strong></p>
<div class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 276px"><img title="FFXII:   Fishing" src="http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100415015247/finalfantasy/images/d/d8/FishingMinigame.jpg" alt="FFXII: Fishing" width="266" height="199" /><p class="wp-caption-text">FFXII: Fishing</p></div>
<p>Other than that just get through the commands in the fishing and once you unlock the Den of The River Lord is when you need to really pay attention. The commands aren&#8217;t really that difficult after a couple tries so just be patient and take your time.  Once you get the King of Nebra fish 10 times you will obtain the 3rd badge needed to get the sword.  Once you get that go to any merchant and sell your 3 badges to get the sword. <strong>Watch below:</strong></p>

<h2>Matamune Sidequest (<a href="http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Wyrmhero_Blade">FinalFantasy.wikia.com</a>)</h2>
<p>A different fishing rod is required to gain access to the last two fishing  spots. Acquiring it is almost another sidequest in itself. To be able to begin  it, you must first defeat <a title="Gilgamesh (Final Fantasy XII)" href="/wiki/Gilgamesh_%28Final_Fantasy_XII%29">Gilgamesh</a> both times.</p>
<p>After defeating him, when you fish, the occasional Empty Bottle that you  catch will turn out to be one of five coloured bottles. Each will contain a  cryptic message leading to a specific spot in the game. After visiting every  spot, the bottles will then form one last message, leading to the location of  the Matamune.</p>

The Matamune is found in a section  of the Zeviah Span, but by looking at the map, it&#8217;s clear that it can only be  reached via the West Annex.

<h2>Fishing Areas (<a href="http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Wyrmhero_Blade">FinalFantasy.wikia.com</a>)</h2>
<p>The minigame begins with only one area, Downstream, being available. By  completing certain conditions, an additional four river sections can be  unlocked. Each area has an increasing level of difficulty and a different  variety of Perfect Fishing rewards. Note: Every fishing spot will produce the  occasional &#8220;Empty Bottle&#8221; instead of a fish.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.justin.tv/webguy55">CLICK HERE: Watch me live on Friday April 9th, 2010</a></strong></p>
<p>This is it people&#8230;THE HOME STRETCH!!!</p>
<p>After going through my past blogs and listing off the stuff I would like to accomplish, I have come up with a final list.  I never really expected to play the game this long..but I do want to get some of the biggest things done and out of the way.  So here it is, the final list:</p>
<ul>
<li>Level Basch, Balthier, Penelo, and Ashe to LVL 99</li>
<li>Get all Espers (2 left)</li>
<li>Defeat <a title="Hell Wyrm" href="http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Hell_Wyrm">Hell Wyrm</a></li>
<li>Defeat <a href="http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Omega_Mark_XII">Omega    Mark XII</a></li>
<li>Defeat <a href="http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Yiazmat_%28Final_Fantasy_XII%29">Yiazmat</a> <em>(This will likely take more than 1 cast)</em></li>
</ul>
<p>My reasoning for shortening my list, just want to get on to something else.  I do plan on following this list and finishing the game.</p>
<p>So what can you expect in my next cast?  Definitely look for me to finish the 2 Espers I have left and also finish leveling all my characters to level 99. You can alo expect, another great playlist provided by <a href="http://www.FinalFantasyRadio.com">FinalFantasyRadio.com</a>.  I would like to send out a big THANKS to Tebian for help making my cast a little more interesting each Friday.  So if you looking for some Final Fantasy XII and some great <a href="http://www.FinalFantasyRadio.com">Final Fantasy music</a>, then join me on Friday April 9th, 2010.</p>
<p><strong>Last Cast:</strong></p>
<p>During my last cast I was able to finally get all the items to obtain the best Great Sword in the game, Tournesol.  See below to see me  going through the task of building the items and recipe in order to buy the sword.<br />

<p>Also I was bored one day and decided to take on the Esper Zodiark.  See below for my battle against the best Esper in the game.<br />
