Status + Notes:

Ding Dong, the witch is gone... stupid Dr. Lugae... I actually didn't bother grinding anymore, I went in with a different strategy and it didn't matter, because he decided to be dumb this time and basically just keep on using reversal gas and attacking... I think he might have cast Flamethrower once the whole time... So, yeah, I just ended up getting lucky... not him casting Flamethrower 3 times in a row... because that's fair.

So, yes, Edge, my favorite character in the whole of the Final Fantasy IV universe. So, awesome, especially in The After Years, but that's way in the rear view mirror now.

Couple notes I want to jot down about this version of the game.

First off, I have completed all the maps up to this point. While the augment you get will be INCREDIBLY useful for speedrunning the second playthrough to do the superbosses, it is majorly annoying when you get to like 99% of an area and have to find the one tiny little corner you missed... usually at an entrance or something that you would assume would have mapped when you walked into the room...

Second, Summons, useful in this game!!! Especially with bluff, I hadn't used the summons at all in the PSP version because the aga versions were just better and the summons were barely better then the ara versions of the spells... here... MUCH more powerful. I like that.

Third... I really wanted to hear Cid say that something's power level was over 9000!!!! Just saying.

Fourth, Hard to play this game for long stretches... its just that every encounter takes so long... at least you level up really quickly, but takes so long to get through each dungeon.

End of notes...

So, for today, who knows I may not even get to make ANY progress today, I'm heading down to Atlantic City, so this may be a rare day off for me... we'll see.
