    It's not bad in general. It's just deliberately set on this one path that you get a battle every single time you take a step. That's the only instance in the game.

    Unless I'm forgetting something again

    Guess where I just walked in.

    Is it really that bad? Goodness. I didn't realize how bad the encounter rates are in the early games.
    Encounter rates are pretty nasty and unforgiving till about FF4 from memory.

    III & IV might have the worst encounter rates.

    Alright, guys, BIG UPDATE!

    So I was surprised with the Vampire. I forgot you had to go down into the depths of the Cavern of Earth twice. Nice plot twist And I loved that giant who loves the taste of rubies

    I've arrived in Crescent Lake and GOT THE CANOE! AAAaaaand all the spells are way too expensive again. Luyckily, I had enough cash to buy everything else, and I don't have access to Lv. 6 spells anyway

    So now I'm using my canoe to go... somewhere else than Mount Gulg. I've just entered the Ice Cave

    Actually, going to the ice cavern first is a good strategy before going to the Volcano.

    You can get the class upgrades earlier and the rest of the game is a cakewalk.

    Yes, that was my intention.

    I still kind of can't decide on whether I should go to Mt. Gulg first or the Earthgift Shrine. Decisions, decisions...

    Guess who got a job upgrade today! That's right. The Squad: Leo, Noah, Maya and Dmitri! Hell yeah

    And I'm entering the Earthgift Shrine now. We'll see how it goes.

    FF IV isn't all that bad ? The Final Dungeon was lethal, but that was about all ?

    Motoring along nicely, Fynn

    MissH and I went through this together earlier in the year and thoroughly enjoyed it!

    Sorry this hasn't been updated for a bit, guys, but I've just started that new job and I have to handle tons of formalities and I simply didn't really have the time to play. I will continue this Sunday, however!

    I've actually entered the Earthgift Shrine in the meantime, though. Got mercilessly slaughtered by the Sand Worms in the desert section. Am I underleveled, or are they just purposefully overpowered?

    Just beat Cerberus. He was pretty brutal. I don't think I'm gonna revisit the Earthgift Shrine to fight the rest anytime soon.
