The Temple of Bague Wasting bandwidth since 1997 - Now in our 27th wasteful year!

Well, the sacrifice wasn’t in vain – I’ve managed to retrieve the torch and transfer some magic fire to it – just. I left the dungeon with one character conscious and with his hitpoints almost totally depleted. The last two floors of the dungeon were beaten with brute force – not a scrap of mana

A nice man called Josef kindly offered me a lift on his snow craft to go and get the Goddess’s Bell, so I can get something to carry some magic fire on. Unsurprisingly, this led to a cavern in the icy wastes to the north. I’m a bit annoyed at Cid being such a self-serving

Well, that was exciting! A lot’s happened since my last post, and I expect this will be a little heavy with the spoilers, but I’ll try not to give too many things away. Well, the raid on the Dreadnought didn’t go particularly well, with the net result that a good deal of the land has

Had a quick go last night, and finished the first three ‘missions’ (which are really just tutorials). Once I got used to the odd faded-looking graphics, I decided I really liked the look of it. Although the bloke I’m playing is extremely irritating in a dialogue sense. One thing I discovered early on is that

Oh dear. I didn’t even get through the second training mission. Maybe I’m just getting too old. Too many fecking buttons. Nintendo have it spot on with the Revolution controller. Basically, the tutorial teaches you: 1) Do this to move 2) Unless you want to run, when you do this. 3) You can do this

Well, given that my gametime last night was eaten by getting a battering at Meteos, I had no choice but to have an intense lunchtime sesh. So, Mythril returned to the queenie bint who cooed over it in a suitable manner and sent me to the blacksmith. I’m now tooled up with mythril weaponry. Cheeky

Bah. Wifie decided to use her new found l33t skillz on me last night. It’s an interesting thing that the DS has awakened the dormant gamer within her. An interesting thing, that is, not necessarily a GOOD thing. In the past, you see, Debbie’s l33t skillz have generally involved sitting up till the wee small

Mythril Mine ConX0r0red! Or something. There’s a lot more to FFII than meets the eye. For starters, there are far fewer random encounters on the world map, so just traveling to a place doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll be able to beat any enemies you may encounter. Where the previous game had you outclassing most of

Good grief! Had my butt kicked in the first dungeon! The difficulty ramps up pretty quickly in this one. My main problem was I didn’t take nearly enough ethers with me. Well, I’ll know the next time 🙂

It’s great. Really, it is. I seriously enjoyed FFI over the past few days and FF2 does the same but in a richer and deeper way (with only one very minor exception – the whole-world map is less pretty :)). I think the thing I like best about this – other than the deeper story
