A Full Final Fantasy Fmarathon (Community Edition)

[Wolf Kanno]

I don't know. I've never actually played a version of FFII that wasn't Origins.

Had a dream about this last night, that I played FFI and FFII and then started FFIII and then got chased by a FFIII boss. I think my brain is saying "You want to start this, but FF3 is putting you off from starting".

I was getting bored of spamming protera, giants gloves and healera so I finished up FF I and am moving to II. I'll do the labyrinth of time later.

Got lucky and snagged a berserk tome as a drop from a random magician that appeared when I checked out the arcane labyrinth.

Well I beat the Emperor, which means it would normally be time to go to Palamecia, but I’ve actually decided to take on the Arcane Labyrinth for Richard’s best weapon. I’m actually really liking it so far. It’s interesting how they used the keyword mechanic here and I like how you can just skip the puzzles on repeats and just gun for the exit. That will definitely make later visits much less painful than Soul of Chaos. I do regret not coming here earlier for Minwu and Josef’s weapons though

[Fynn]

And I got Abel’s lance, woo! Time to confront Leon

[Fynn]

RIP Richard. You will be missed

So now I’m doing the Arcane labyrinth several times again so that I can get everyone ultimate weapons. Since Leon’s ultimate is a spear, I’m sorta turning him into a Richard mk. 2 right now. Hes still got a ways to go though

[Fynn]

Almost done with the Arcane Labyrinth! Now only Guy is missing his ultimate weapon. Now that I’ve got all the keywords and I can just gun towards each floor’s exit, it’s really going by fast

[Fynn]

Ok the ultimate weapons absolutely break the game. My agility was boosted to the point that I could run from pretty much any battle, and the Emperor went down in four turns. Quickest Pandaemonium run ever!

[Fynn]

Ok, so as I thought, I couldn’t finish SoR today. But I did get pretty far! I actually already have the Ultima Tome (not that i plan to use it lol), but while Richard could pull everyone up to and including the Ultima Weapon fight, the Unknown Palace is still a big much for me to handle. Going back to the passage now to get some new spells and back to the grind I go...

[qwertysaur]

I now have both masks, and the crystal rod.

[Fynn]

Just beat the Emperor. Buffs and the blood sword really made this fight super easy!

Had a lot of fun with II. I actually genuinely enjoy this game more than I and always feel bad about it being such a bad sheep. I’ll hush a bit more later, now I need to see the ending sequence!

Gonna jump straight into FFIII tomorrow and I’ll be attempting the NES version for the first time ever! You set me up for this, Wolf, so now you will help me

[Wolf Kanno]

Man you've beaten SMT1, you'll be fine with FFIII. You just can't approach it like a modern FF where you can mash X to win is all. If you've played the NES version of FFI, you already know what to expect.

[Fynn]

I have not played the NES version of FFI. This is my first NES FF actually played in its original form.

[Wolf Kanno]

Well then you're smurfed. Though in all seriousness. Just approach it like Dragon Quest.
