So, geg has killed the wicked old Lich and has retrieved his first crystal. Champion! After that he went off to the Earthgift shrine to have a poke around.

...thaaaat didn't go so well. The party went up against Echidna. If only there were Float... those Earthquakes hit HARD (when they actually hit). Jen, the Thief, dodged a lot of the Earthquakes, but the White and Black Mage were running out of MP fast. The Black Mage's Firga was the only thing that was doing any real damage. It wasn't enough. The party was totally wiped out and sent back to the Shrine's entrance.

Then geg sent the party back in there again XD

Maybe we'll send them off to Cresent Lake before we try that again.

The journey begins.

Well, where do I start? Final Fantasy 1, obviously. Jennifer has a GameboyAdvance version that I am playing at the moment (currently 5ish hours in) and I'm going to complete it, and work my way through the series.

Though I am no stranger to the Final Fantasy series. The first time I played it was well after everyone loved it, I guessed, but I really had no idea that it existed. My sister used to work for the local paper and I'd do game reviews once a week. One week i was handed the brand spanking new Final Fantasy IX. I loved every minute of it, but I had to give the game back. I promptly forgot about it until I got the internet (OMG LOLZ) and downloaded (oh my) some roms (OH NOEZ) of Final Fantasy 1, 2 and 3. Using an emulator I played them...but I found the effect of playing them emulated on the computer was rather...well...sucky.

A few years later and I picked up Final Fantasy VIII in a bargain bin. I set about spending two weeks of my life devoted to it, but getting nowhere in particular.

I am constantly distracted by shiney things, so that could be a reason why I never continued on.

One of the things on my to do list for games is play Final Fantasy VII. I've been told many times it's the best of the series. Pants to playing it and completing it before any others. I'm gonig to start with 1, and end with X-2 (sucks, apparently?) or...XII? Probably XX by the time I get finished with them all.

I want to chronicle my progress through all the games. Noting gameplay, storylines and characters. Perhaps deep down, I will want somewhere to hold my memories so I can never possibly forget them.

Final Fantasy I
Bless Jennifer's DS as it blows the ROM version away (...obviousley). 5 hours in and I've got the Princess back, gotten the witch her eye, woken the Elf Prince (Bloody Elves!!!) and done a couple of other things that weren't really noteworthy.
Next is to explore the outside world after the Dwarf blew a passage way for my ship. Where to next? I can't wait...
