He was standing by the ladder later. TBH, I was really worried I wouldn't be able to progress for a moment XD

I also just realised that apart from that very first action where you keep a lookout for him there's nothing that you actually do as he 'slave'. I mean he even carries the ladder!
YEAH FFIX

Back when I was a kid I could only emulate the old games and would constantly fantasize about what a 3D FF would look like abs from all the info I had available at the time, IX looked like it had everything I was looking for. After playing it, I was not disappointed. It's a great tribute to the pre-VII games that creates its own unique identity. And I love every second.
Thanks to you and night fury, I'm now played ng through VIII. All while I was playing through XV I was itching to play VIII since it's been a while since I've played. Used to be a game I played through yearly. I'll probably be itching to play ix while I read your playthrough I'm sure.
Glad to see this is still going! I'll be back commenting more when you reach FFX
Same, can't wait to hear some thoughts on FFX.
Well he doesn't like FFX so you better be looking forward to it being torn to shreds!
Yeah I dunno if I'm really gonna be looking forward to his FFX thoughts all that much
Oh well I'll just have faith that he finally realizes that his opinion has been completely wrong all this time.
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, if he says too many mean things about Final Fantasy IX we might have to ban him from the franchise before he even starts playing X.
At least when it comes to the characters and story. The game systems are fair game as a lot of them kinda suck - even though it is still my favourite game ever. I'm also on IX at the moment, just finished disc 1.
I gotta say... the battle system in general frustrates the hell out of me. The 'jobs' are completely broken for the first 1/3 of the game until you finally get some summons, Trance is awful, the ATB is too slow, the 'Steal' system is infuriating, animations take too long. If a party member has 'Confuse' and you tell someone else to hit them to remove the status, if they die before your turn the one who was gonna hit them will hit SOMEONE ELSE IN YOUR OWN TEAM.

Sorry this has been lacking in updates, guys. I'm still visiting my parents so I haven't had the time to really write anything substantial here, but I am playing the game and making substantial progress and I'm almost done with disc 2! I'll have a mondo update ready when I get back home summing up all my thoughts on stuff that has happened up until that point. So far I can say that this is easily the best game of the PSX era and that the narrative is almost as well-paced as IV's. This is also actually the FF I know the least because, despite the fact that I love it, I've only played and beaten it once, while all the others I've at least played more than once.
And guys, X may be one of my least favorite games ever, but I still have good things to say about it! I'm not a monster. I mean, it's not XIII, at least!
But yeah, don't be expecting to hear a lot of nice things. Remember I went into VII fully expecting it to be great and look how that playthrough turned out
The opposite could happen though!
I've played it again fairly recently, actually
So I doubt it
