Earth Crystal!
Earth Crystal!
The most action-packed opening ever, featuring the most action-packed name ever!
My Adventure begins! After ensuring I have the proper setup (Pic 1), I set out for adventure (pic 2). My first act is kicking the ass of some weak Behemoth (pic 3), then saving the Level Forest. Myself and some chick I picked up encounter this Minotaur (pic 4), whom we promply disposed of. She got all sick, so I have to head out to some temple to pick up her perscription. On the way, some Ninja comes out and steals it before I can, so I have to bribe him with treasure from some cave to get it.
Managing to infiltrate the dungeon, I make my way through hordes of monsters (pic 1). My Ninja comrade and I stumble upon Trogdor, and proceed to kick his arse (pics 2,3,4). We find the treasure we were looking for, as well as the Earth Crystal that old man was babbling about (pic 4). After saving the crystal, my only reward is getting that one girl's meds and a new mission. Not being one to whine, I set out for Aquaria, and inevitably, to save the world.
Having barely escaped the mysterious force of The Quake apparently devouring his entire town, Armoiree decided the best course of action would be to climb a mountain. Upon his ascent he happened upon an old man. Armoiree questioned the mysterious stranger on the happenings, which the old man promptly ignored in favor of getting the hell off the mountain [1]. The old man, of course, had instinct (as all old men do), and was able to tell by Armoiree's unkempt hair and stubby little arms that he was the Knight of prophecy [2].
Suddenly, with with some of the most convenient timing, a super strong Behemoth attacks the young knight! [3] Despite lacking the trademark purple fur and all around nastiness of a Behemoth, this must be the destined battle, right?
Well, unfortunately the Behemoth goes down fast. One of the staples of Final Fantasy douchebaggary, reduced to a tutorial boss.
Afterwards, the old man admits he's a senile old coot who doesn't know jack [4], but nonetheless feels that he is right about Armoiree's destiny.
And thus, with the mountains behind him all but destroyed the moment he steps off, he heads to Level One.
Err... Level Forest. [5]
Ready to begin a grand adventure with the old man, Armoiree is disheartened to find out that the old man's amnesia has kicked in at the worst possible moment, and the old man runs off to experience his own adventures (which were to be covered in Final Fantasy Mystic Quest 2, but alas...) [1].
Armoiree soon discovers that, despite his gravity-defying jump (Provided by Air Jordans™), he cannot leap over small trees [2]. He can, however, leap over old men to push boulders, which he does with such style that this new old man, too, feels he can trust the young Armoiree to save the world. He tells Armoiree that if he wishes to progress through the forest, he must call upon the aid of a woman named Kaeli. But, since she's a tree-hugging hippy who would otherwise refuse to chop down trees, the old man hands Armoiree a rare Tree Wither [3] to prove to Kaeli that the woods right outside of her home town are dying.
And so Armoiree continues his adventure by heading east, to Foresta. [4]
(A fun fact: The Town of Foresta was named so because after cutting down the large redwoods to create the stumps their houses are made of, the mayor stated "F' it, we'll call it Foresta.")

I see a Guitar Hero II box peeking out from behind your TV. :P
Quick question, before I continue my quest, shouldn't we be doing FF4?
One of us could just start a "EOFF plays" thread. But meh, MQ is easy, so it won't be long.
Damn, and thats when school starts and I'll have no time to play. CURSE YOU SQUARE-ENIX!
