This CLOWN wants us to go through his circus gauntlet first. No big deal! We get to epicly choose our order of party members before taking a slice at the big cheese! - **!!More info below!!** Say, isn't TERRA an Esper?!?

Note: Kefka always starts the battle with Fallen One, which reduces all HP to 1hp.... hoping that you just input 4 offensive commands and get kinda rolled real quick. I failed to mention this as I was too busy pre-emptively healing and spitting in his face.


SPOILERS! Do not read below if you haven't watched the end of the video. Just in case.

K.

I mention at the end during the credits when Shadow leaves himself to die that Shadow's (Clyde's) friend Baram is actually Kefka. To be fair, this is only speculatory/rumor... as the developers never confirmed it. So if you try to hunt around, you won't see much info on this, a few places may confirm and a few may deny, so I guess I should mention its just my personal belief even if its not confirmed. There's just too many things that tie into it to make sense.

Clyde and Baram were fleeing when Baram asked Clyde to kill him so he wouldn't get caught and tortured. Clyde couldn't bear to, so Baram got caught by the Empire and tortured. Likely experimented on (Magitek Infusion similar like Celes, probably a more crude and painful prototype method/procedure which explains why he was with the Empire and how he got Magic in the first place). It helps to explain why Shadow was ALWAYS around the Empire being close to Kefka when he could. When Sabin fell into the Lette River, he comes up at a camp with Shadow just near the Imperial Base. He went with you and General Leo to Thamasa; he was found on the floating continent AFTER you arrive on Airship when the only 2 humans on there was Kefka + Emperor, meaning Shadow was certainly nearby. Shadow also stayed behind to try to pin Kefka to the statues before the continent falls, but once again just couldn't do it.
It also helps explain why Kefka was so power drunk and mad on killing EVERYONE, including the Empire whom made him rich and powerful. He had WAY too much fun killing the people who (theoretically) tortured him all those years ago. He just had to strike revenge on everyone and everything so that they knew the pain he had been through.
And then at the very end before the fighting starts, Shadow talks about friendship to Kefka. A Ninja whom earlier claimed to have "Killed all emotion" to Terra. Then once Kefka is dead, he stays behind and stops running so he can rejoin his friend once more, as he finally payed his debt off that he never could before. May they both rest in peace.

END OF SPOILERS:

Our LP has come to an end. I know I get a lot of positive comments and feedback about how it went well, I just can't shake that I feel it could/should have been much better. For those who haven't experienced the game as in depth as I have, perhaps they just don't know what I feel I didn't do. There's also feelings after most episodes when I rewatch that I had a great joke or reference to throw in and just didn't think of it in time. I didn't make that mistake with BoF2, I hit 'em all. That LP was amazing.
I dunno. This game helped me grow up and become who I am today. This game is as much a part of me as the blood that runs through my veins; its by far my favorite game ever, and on any meaningful Top-10 Games of all time lists, if not #1-3. I guess I just feel like I wanted to portray that as best I could and hope that others too would be able to feed off it as just a completely transcendent experience that makes them better as a human being. And I know that just isn't possible. I set my goals and expectations too high yet again. Thats just what FFVI does to ya! That being said, I do think I did a good job THIS episode, as some of the early comments are confirming! =D

Thank you for sticking around to watch, everyone. I know there's 9001 LP's of this game and you happened to choose mine for whatever reason. Thank you.
