Fynn's Final Fantasy Fmarathon

[Fynn]

Alright, I'm doing it. I don't have access to XII (for now) and I will never, ever play FFXIII again, I swear to God, but I can play all the numbered FFs from I to X. And since today I got the news that I got a job that I really wanted, I want to celebrate!

So, starting today, I'll be beating the numbered FFs one by one, sequels excluded. Starting with FFI on the PSP today. I'll be talking about my progress and maybe even post some pictures from time to time.

So, let's do this. Will be back in a while, once I start the game. If anyone wants to do it wth me, feel free to join

Awesome, should be fun

Pfft, so you'll willingly skip over the most fun entry in the series.

Seriously though this should be fun.

[Fynn]

I'll probably play X-2 after that as well, but not as part of the marathon, because if I did that I'd have to play the After Years as well (which I do enjoy, but it's also a really huge game that I don't think I want to jump straight into after FFIV), as well as the Compilation of FFVII (yeah, not gonna happen). So yeah, sticking to the Roman numerals

Well Tactics is only kind of a sequel to XII.

My suggestion for FFI: do a Warrior, Monk, Red Mage and Black Mage run. FFI becomes a very interesting game when you don't have a dedicated healer.

[Fynn]

Argh, Wolf, you come too late, my party's already set Next time, maybe!

If you're curious, I went with the classic team of Warrior, Thief, White Mage and Black Mage.

I named the Warrior Leo because he has a lion's mane-like hairdo.

The Thief is called Noah because I just really like that name.

The White Mage is called Maya because I wanted a short name.

And the Black Mage is Dmitri because he's the token foreign guy.

In this reality Fynn and Kanno weep many manly tears for the FFX popularity has skyrocket to legendary levels they cannot escape. It will consume their flesh and crush their spirit. LONG LIVE FINAL FANTASY X!

[Fynn]

Ah yes. My iPhone typing skills continue to be terrible

So anyway, today I knocked Garland all down and passed the bridge to the north and encountered Matoya in her cave. So, for such a short amount of time, I did quite a bit. The game feels even easier to me now; especially since I'm playing it in my breaks from SMT: Strange Journey

[Ayen]

You think you've won, but your story has only begun. I summon four ferocious Fiends from beyond the sun!

Good luck Fynn! Which game are you least looking forward to playing?

Considering it's got a sequel, a novella and a radio play as well as an internation and hd remaster, it's already close to being a compilation as it stands. I'm honestly still waiting for SE to announce X-3 since the sequel material with the HD version was pretty much alluding to another game.

Honestly, I'm looking forward to playing all of them. I've recently played VI, so I might have to spice things up there to make it more interesting. I'm also kind of worried about FFIII, since the PSP versions of I and II have baby difficulties and III is kept difficult, and I'm really not a fan of that game's job system, I think it may turn out to be quite clunky But after that I'll get to play IV again, so yay!

SE actually quickly killed any rumors of a sequel pretty quick, which is a good thing, but I don't think they're above retracting that statement for more money, because X is still wildly popular for some reason

Still, even with X-2's vastly different tone, the games still fit together, unlike anything about the Compilation

FFI MINI-UPDATE

So yesterday evening I managed to squeeze in some more playtime (because Alice smurfing murdered me in Strange Journey and I could not save for like 40 minutes, so I lost all that progress), and I reached Pravoka. Here, I've stumbled on an unforeseen obstacle - money. While outfitting Dmitri with Blizzard and slow, I ran out of cash. And I still have white magic and equipment to buy. So now it's time for some good old-fashioned grinding

Are you going to start streaming this ? Just curious, because I would so watch ! Anyways, you go ! c:

tbh I'm surprised that your doing FFX ? I thought that you loathed it to pieces ??? It would be like me playing through Lightning Returns. :/

I've haven't played this game, but money is really hard to come by apparently. Just like in real life!

It's not that I loathe it. I just think it's poorly designed, has atrocious writing, and is way overhyped, but I can still play it

And no, sadly, I cannot stream it as I have it on the Vita. The earliest I could stream is FFV, as long as I get the Steam version on time.
