Fynn's Final Fantasy Fmarathon

[Ayen]

Must feel strange liberating yourself. I didn't know you were in chains.

Update time!

So we took Leila a d got both masks, which allowed us to get the Crystal Rod. So, from Mysidia, we went to the Tower of the Magi, but alas, we were swallowed by a whale. Then KainRicard joined us but we lost Leila. And I'm kind of worried since I really can't remember what happened to her.

We managed to get out and scaled the Mysidian Tower and I'm surprised that I really have no problems progressing whatsoever. Still, reached the top, Minwu died, and Maria now knows Ultima

Minwu died

RIP

You are amazing Minwu.

All this talk is getting me interested in playing final fantasy I and II and replaying IV, V and VI (i need to give VI another chance even though Im not a fan of dealing with multiple parties, and theres things that annoy me about IV but what the hey i might go for it. I cant play III, used to have it on the DS but lost it, found it too hard anyway)

Got into the Cyclone. I have to say, those cutscenes with the Wyvern were pretty breathtaking.

Also, I'm kinda lost. I cannot for the life of me find my way around this place.

I also wish I'd known that Ultima depends on spirit rather than intelligence. Oh well. It's not like Minwu sacrificed himelf for it or anything

Its damage algorithm is also dependent on how many spells you have mastered for the character given to it. Even with high spirit, the spell will do pitiful damage compared to other magic if the user doesn't have a few spells at Lv. 16. It's even worse in the original as the spell was bugged and did pitiful damage regardless of any of this. Sakaguchi was a bit peeved by this and asked the programmer to fix it but he responded that he liked the concept of the Ancient Powerful magic of Legend to be more Legend than reality and that old things are not always better...

[Fynn]

Well, at least I still have Flare

Guys l, I keep misreading Firion's name as Fiona ><

Fun FACT: If you equip the Wyvern as an Item, you can use him in battle as a proto-summon.

I'm not sure how the mobile versions handle items but in the original and Origins version, your characters can only use items they bring into battle, you have a maximum of two slots. The Wyvern is one of the few Key Items that can be equipped and if used in battle it does a group hitting attack called Fireball VIII or something. It's technically the first summon in the series.

[Fynn]

Just checked it. You can't equip it, but you can use it in battle. Noice.

Firion is love, Firion is life.

I read the part where you said you were going to play the numbered FFs one by one and thought "Oh, cool, so XI and XIV included!" and then you went on about how you are not including some numbered FFs like XIII and now I a have a mild OCD twitch going on.

EDIT: Yes I am late to this thread.

[Fynn]

I said that I wouldn't play XIII before I said I'd play them all one by one, so you can't say I raised your expectations too high

Keep in mind, I've actually played all games from I to XIII already, XI included, and this is just a marathon. I do intend to play XIV too, but an MMO really doesn't work with the pace of an event like this.

And to be fair, while I do refuse to play XIII due to how terrible it is, I also can't include FFXII in this even though it's my favorite, due to lacking the means to play it at the moment. So I'm just playing what I can, basically. Plus; many fans see X as the end of the series anyway, so
