FIRE CRYSTAL AWAKENATED! Mount Gulg was less imposing than expected, although the constant health drain of walking on lava had to be watched pretty closely. I’ve noticed a strange thing about the amount of experience handed out in the game, though. Defeating a couple of 300HP Minotaurs occasionally yields 2000xp, but defeating the dungeon boss

I’m not afraid to admit it. After defeat0ring the Earth spirit (a Lich) and returning the glowy goodness to the earth crystal, I figured it was logical to pop along to the earthgift shrine for a nose – given they’d gone to the trouble of showing me a wee cutscene of it. Well, it’s a

EARTH STAFF GET! Phew! Got the the end of the third level of the Cavern of Earth and met the pointy toothed one. A swift staking later and I realised that things weren’t going to be as straightforward as expected. So, off on a quick voyage back to where I came from, fed a big

Well, I’ve come across a little village which is looking a little rough. Thing is, the Earth is decaying because the four crystals have gone out and it appears that the closer you get to where the energy sources were there worse the decay gets. Anyhoo, it appears that there’s a vampire in the Cavern

Bad Place pillaged, other stuff done, many baddies defeat0red. It was a fairly extended session last night, but then Final Fantasy is like that. Amongst other things, I chatted with some dwarfs in a mine, got loads of Mythril weapons, and helped blow a dirty great chunk of land to kingdom come – conveniently making

Potion used, pointy-eared bloke awakened. So that little quest netted a bunch of armour and weapon upgrades, 17,000 gil, all in – and about 345873498579 experience points. The party is now at level 17. One final artifact gained from the quest is a key which opens various locations around the world map and….. a whole

Well, I’ve discovered that me old mate FatHippy is going to be playing this as of Tuesday, so I’ll try and avoid any spoilers. Not that there’s much to spoil – everything so far has been pretty much as expected for a Final Fantasy games. Loads of battles, loads of to-ing an fro-ing. Anyhoo, JOLT

VICTORY TRIUMPH GET! Well, the cave turned out to be interesting but a tad more straightforward once I’d levelled up a bit. Anyway, the thing I thought was there was indeed, so I liberated it from the clutches of some piscademons. After that, I popped up north to discover I’d been hoodwinked by a Dark

Well, after my humiliating defeat at the cave (haven’t I heard that line before somewhere?) I’ve made a tactical retreat (read: ran away) to lick my wounds. I’ve managed to limp all the way back to the Elfie village (with one member of my party still conscious) where I’ve spent what money I had on

I am weak – I’ve been lusting after this game since its release, and the news that deKay was weak made me cave. And guess what – it’s ACE! For values of ACE which can be interpreted as so cute it will make your eyes explode out of your skull with whimsy. The premise is
