So after a horrible start, Fossil Roo turns out to be a great little jaunt. It was basically the Mines of Moria from LOTR but without the balrog, goblins or dead dwarves.

Whenever I see a switch or two my heart always sinks. Memories of that five-switch room in the original Tomb Raider come flooding back. This actually wasn't too complicated though. I could have done without the random encounters but my Zidane/Garnet/Vivi/Quina party is beautifully balanced.

There was the odd treasure hunter dotted about and I gave one of them a potion so I could do some digging! It wasn't particularly fruitful. I spent a good 30 mins chipping away and only got a couple of ores (already maxed out) and a couple of hi-potions. Not worth it.

We did some Uncharted-style vine climbing which took us to the last switch. We then had a final one-night-stand with the flower-loving roof-crawlers and we were out of Moria!

I was greeted grandly with the words 'Outer Continent' and things on the overworld were looking rather splendid! The mist from the old place was gone and it was bright and sunny! I got into a few spats with some of the new baddies (good ol' Cactuar made an appearance), pitched a tent (in a non-rude way) and saved. Looking forward to doing some exploring tomorrow!
