I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times." It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach. He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

That's... wierd.

Yes, I know the game it's referring to. To be honest, I never gave Ultros a lot of thought; he always died in a few rounds of spellblitzing anyway.

Not to say that it wasn't amusing to see. Thanks for posting it.

I always get a kick out of the reoccurring ‘subbosses’ in Final Fantasy. You have Ultros, The Turks/ The Don, Wedge and Biggs/ Fujin and Rajin, ect.

These small (usually humorous) additions are just more reasons why FF rules. ;)

Yeah. I like how...

[spoiler=about later in FFVI]... I think it's funny that he ends up being a receptionist at the colloseum. To my knowledge, that's the only time you see the "afterlife" of one of the defeated sub-bosses in any final fantasy. That's one of the ONLY things I liked about FFVI, but I don't think we want to tangent on that here...[/spoiler]

You didn't like FFVI? But you're right, there's no need to tangent about that here.

I like some subbosses, Ultros merely never caught my attention. It was a bit funny to see him as a receptionist later, however. Of course, he annoyed me simply because the majority of the battles there cause you to be swept away before you can win (but oh, it is quite possible...).

Oh... I've beaten the sneezing guy, but the reason you get those battles is because you are betting things that don't have prizes. YOu need to get the list of what to bet. From that list, you can get some amazing stuff just by re-betting, but you gotta strategize... Who are you gonna send? Who are you fighting?

I'd love to see a non-woolsey translation of FFVI... Too bad it will never happen...

Ultros was easy, it was getting past the rats that sucked... I hate racing against the clock...

Oh, and you saw the "afterlife" of Fuujin, Raijin, and Seifer. I hated seifer, though... Too much like Pokey from Earthbound... He was just a brat and only did all those things to spite Squall... Whiney brat doesn't make for a good villain in my opinion... Thankfully the heroes of the game were engrossing enough that the weak villains were forgiveable.

Yeah, I know that every item other than specific ones gives you that battle (for an Elixer) but I'd rather not just get someone else's list. It feels somewhat cheap. However, it is rather gratifying to knock off the sneezing guy...
