Critical Earth Mission: Kitchen Knife

Posted by Mike Blitz on February 26th, 2008

kitchenknife.jpgOnce again our consciousness gnaws at us: we feel guilty that we haven’t reported back to Yang’s wife that he is now recovering nicely in the underground world. To appease our Catholic guilt, we once again pack up our belongings, leave the moon behind, and head back to Earth.

There, we quickly head to Fabul, where we speak with Yang’s wife. She seems elated by the news, and proceeds to give us a…

Kitchen Knife?

Huh? She then tells us to give this to Yang. I think. We’ve got to go back to the Underworld again? Argh. Oh, well, we might as well see this to the end, so once again we head back down to our home away from homes, the Cave of Summons.

By now we know the route blindfolded, so it’s only a short while later that we approach Yang with the Kitchen Knife. Yang, however, is completely uninterested in the Kitchen Knife. Matter of fact, nobody reacts in any different way now that we’ve come all the way here yet again.

Puzzled, we head back to the Falcon with the mysterious Kitchen Knife in our packs. I believe we just burned about 7,000 gallons of fuel flying from the Moon in order to obtain an onion cutter.

But enough of Yang, Frying Pans of Love, and Useless Kitchen Knives! There are bigger beasts to slay: Bahamut! We’ll head back to the moon tormorrow for a revenge match against Bahamut.

    Edje’s useless knowledge: in the first translation of FF4 on the SNES, the Kitchen Knife was translated as….the SPOON! Which was quite weird when you see how to use it : Edge can throw it during battle for sonmething like 9999 of damage!

  2. Windark Says:

    I remember that in every FFs that I’ve played, I haven’t thrown anything except shurikens, because I was worried that those other items would be needed in some quests. So I usually had bags full of meaningless junk.

    My name is not Hero of Love. It is Lore. LoRe. That is an R. You made me cry!

  4. Drake Says:

    I would advise you hold on to that knife there for as long as possible.

  5. Mike Blitz Says:

    Edje,
    Cool! That must have been one badass spoon!

    Windark,
    I keep all my crap. All those random spells you find. I don’t think I use any of them. I’m such a miser.

    Hero of More,
    Argh. Sorry about that. You’ve got to admit, though. Hero of Love is kind of catchy. You sure you don’t want to keep it?

    Drake,
    That kitchen knife is in my pack for good. I’ll save it for the killer onions.

    Well, they are the most deadly specie of onions.
