Status & Notes:

Man, these dungeons are a lot longer than I remember them being. Oh well, its all good. Also, I forgot the esper cave came before the banquet. Again, my bad. Been a while since I played through this.

I want to thank mitch once again, for his little tip. I should be shuffling some party members around and will soon be trying it out.

I had a little error in the esper cave... accidentally leveled up Locke and Edgar with no bonus once... again, I'm not planning on redoing play time because of it, but if you see the math looking a bit wrong, that is why.

Today's goal... finish the esper cave, finish the banquet... get Strago I guess... boo, more Blue Magic to learn.

Status & Notes:

Man did I really wanted to get farther today... oh well, one of the kids was having trouble sleeping... kind of makes progress difficult. Anyway, I did a bunch of grinding today, before the opera house...

Quick aside, when I first played FF VI. It probably took my friend and I about 6 tries to finish the opera house. Our problem, looking back was that, 1) We never used Locke heading into the Opera House. 2) Our damage was heavily reliant on Sabin's Fire Dance... which is not exactly the easiest thing to input successfully. Even now, I go through long stretches where I input it incorrectly. Hate that blitz...

So, back to progress. As you can see, I've got a healthy amount of level-up bonuses for everyone... accidentally gave 1 magic up to Cyan but that's not the biggest deal. So far, so good.

Today, defintiely through Magitek research and the Vesper Banquet... maybe even another dungeon... we'll see.

Status & Notes:

Hey, look, things changed! The big note for today, is that I am pretty set on my layout for the Setup. Yes, I am going to track level-up bonuses for my characters. Now, before you ask, no I am not going to go out of my way to make sure everyone gets the absolute correct level-up bonuses. If more than one person is going to level up at the same time, or I forget once or twice to switch things it is not the biggest deal.

So, I actually stopped my progress last night, got through Zozo quicker than I thought I would, because I wanted to make sure I had a good system for tracking my level-up bonuses so I can share them with you. This is going to be a lot of fun by the end of the game ... ugh....

So, yeah, today, I should really get a good chunk of play time in. Certainly want to be close to the Vector banquet event by the end of today... Let's see how I do!

Status & Notes:

Not bad, done with the Narshe battle... which is actually kinda difficult at low levels... luckily I know how to use potions... So, now its time to head towards more awesome music!!! I mean Zozo... and yes I plan on staying kind of low level for a while. Why you ask??? Wait and find out!!!!

Just for future reference I did pick up both the Pteradon and Marshal rages for Gau because they are awesome. I will pick up more later, but these are two very useful ones on my list.

Eventually I DO plan on making a non-active party member listing, once I get the airship and stuff... ugh, that's going to be fun to keep up :)

So, goal for today, goal for today... would like to get at least to Zozo I guess. Let's see how that works out.

Yeah, didn't play very much I know... did finish Terra's scenario though and got a start on Sabin's... obviously. Was surprised when I realized there were no bosses in Terra's scenario. I guess keeping Banon alive is boss enough, oh well....

For those of you wondering.... yes, I am going to Suplex the Phantom Train... or did they fix that in this version???? I hope not.

Couple little notes, I fixed a couple of errors in the previous couple recaps. The Total time was off a bit, so I fixed that. Also, I added in a couple of bosses I forgot to note.

My goal for today? Eh, who knows. We'll see how far I get.

Stauts & Notes:

Only really one thing to say about today... OMG FF VI Boss music AWZOMSOZ!!! Okay, I'm never doing that again. But seriously, the one thing I could never possibly complain about in this game... the music. This is probably my vote for best 16-bit soundtrack ever... and the boss music of this game might be my favorite track. It is just the right amount of epic without being over the top like a final boss theme.... so awesome... Wait, I hear some of you in the background saying, no Chrono Trigger's soundtrack is better. I think Chrono Trigger's music is on the level of FF VI, but the amount of different tracks in FF VI is so huge and each one of them is so perfect... plus it came first, so tie goes to the earliest.

Another thing to talk about... this is the first Final Fantasy that included mini-games and scenarios, such as the multi-party scenario where you're guarding Terra, or having Locke sneak around South Figaro...

Anyway, I'm on the 2nd part of the Choose your own adventure part. I did Locke first... now I am doing Terra/Edgar... and I'm saving the longness that is Sabin for last.... that being said my goal is to get everyone back to Narshe today. Let's see how it goes.

Stauts & Notes:

Yay, new game! First of all, to clarify what I did in FF V yesterday. All I did was get all the Dark Arts spells. To do this you have to kill specific enemies... actually you need the Deathblow to come from a Necromancer... this includes a couple of enemies ALL the way at the end of the Sealed Temple... including the hardest random enemy in the game... Hades... he hurts... his Flare's power level is over 9000!!! What??? No, actually it hits for about 7500. Still, it hurts.

So! New Game! Lemme give you a little of MY history with this game. When this game came out, I had just finished Secret of Mana and had recently finished FF II with a friend and could not have been looking forward to this game more. We played the heck out of the game and beat it in every way possible... Seriously, we had Economizers for EVERYONE by the time we were done with it.

Looking back, this is NOT my favorite Final Fantasy. Don't get me wrong it is a good game, but there are a number of flaws with it. First off, there are so many things in the game that are useless. Like with Edgar... is there really any point in doing something other than Auto-Crossbow... or Drill later in the game? Also, I really don't like that EVERYONE can use magic... it really makes little difference to characters in the late game... That being said, I am going to try to do alot to counter this... I'm really going to pay attention to Esper level-up values to try and steer certain people's stats in different directions, try to actually make people into classes, etc...

Let's see how this goes.

FF V Review

Coming off of a story driven masterpiece, Square, as usual, moved Final Fantasy in a different direction for their first Super Famicom follow up. Final Fantasy V is a battle system mechanic masterpiece filled with many different customization options, while leaving the story a bit on the back burner.

Let us begin with the story. The story is that, the elements on the world are dying. The wind is stopping, the water is stopping, the earth is decaying and the fires are no longer burning. This is because the crystals are shattering, which may or may not be because mankind has learned how to harness their power to make our lives easier. Its never completely confirmed or denied. It is also happening because an ancient tree from an ancient forest from another world named Exdeath wishes to first recombine 2 worlds into one to open the ancient void sealed a millenium ago and then harness its power... Honestly, the story isn't horrible... though when you try and summarize it like this, it makes you realize how silly it is... and yes we are fighting a tree... a tree that turned itself into a warlock, sure, but a tree none the less. The characters are certainly not fleshed out as much as final fantasy iv, but there is certainly a lot of backstory and interplay between them... and oh yeah, one of the main characters dies. Still, though, this is not the selling point of this particular entry of the series.

The graphics. While not a huge step up from Final Fantasy IV, there are a number of different layouts, all of which are very colorful, and bright. Really, anything I've said for Final Fantasy IV can apply here. The one main improvement I'd say is with the character sprites. Yes, it can be taken for granted now, but at the time having a separate sprite for each and every character job a character can have was quite an undertaking. There's a lot of fun in just collecting all the jobs to see how each character looks in them. Sure, not all of them are award winning, but it makes the really good looks stand out that much more. I would have loved to see the improvements that Square made for the iPad version of the game, however, I did not want to purchase it just to see the graphical improvements... so, yeah.

The music. This may not be the greatest game for music in the series. Its not bad. There are really few themes that stand out, however. That being said, these are still Nobuo Uematsu compositions, and they are still great. There's just no points where I'll pause my gameplay such that I can listen to a particular track all the way through.

The gameplay. Here we come to the meat and potatoes of this review. The reason to play this game is the job system. Yes, this is something Final Fantasy did before, but really, I think it is this game that really solidified the job system as something that Final Fantasy could use over and over again, and really serve as the basis for future job systems the franchise used. As you progress through the game you collect Crystal Shards, each of which gives you a new job class. You basically equip the player with the job, and this gives the player a set of stats, a list of equippable items and one set ability. The other ability can be set from any abilities you gain as you level up your jobs. That's right as you kill enemies, not only do you get EXP but you also get AP which goes towards levelling up your jobs. Each job can be levelled from anywhere between 1 and 7 and mastering the job will transfer some stats or abilities back to the Freelancer class.

The upside, there are so many abilities that have different uses, and sometimes you really have to consider what abilities you want for a particular boss, or area. Also, there are really enough jobs that unless you really grind out ability points, you are never going to run out of different jobs to level up, and you want to keep getting abilities so you're always mixing and matching different jobs together. The downside, well really the jobs fall into either Magic based or Attack based. I can't really think of a time you'd really want to mix the two together... I wish there were more support abilities for magic classes, but really your magic users are always going to be just choosing the two schools of magic they want for that particular time, and your physical attackers are really going to use Rapid Fire... yeah, for some reason FF V really liked the evade stat, and Rapid Fire ignores it... so its really useful.....

The postgame content. In the GBA and iPad versions of the game, defeating Exdeath opens up a new area called the Sealed Temple. This is an amazing area, full of exploration and little quests, climaxing with a battle against Enuo, the original master of the void. This area has an amazing level of difficulty. Starting off with some of the hardest endgame encounters and only ramping up from there. It contains 5 bosses all of which need a good amount of strategy and additional experience levels, which really can only be gained by fighting all the really hard random encounters in the area... of which there are a TON. The game really inflates the encounter rate in here, which is annoying when you're trying to figure out where you need to go. The place is a bit of a maze if you don't have a walkthrough. Also, the game has a really steep levelling curve, and its only the monsters in the cavern that really give you enough experience to level over 45 at a decent rate. Anyway, the area is wonderfu

Now, lets talk about the super bosses. In the original release, the game contained two superbosses. Omega and Shinryu, both at least twice as hard as Exdeath, but beatable with a good strategy... or in Shinryu's case, easily beatable with a certain rare steal... *cough* Dragon Lance *cough*... In the sealed temple, we have upgraded versions of these, Neo Shinryu and Omega Mk II. They are basically the same bosses but with much improved stats and a couple of abilities that make you change your strategy a bit. I wish these two were a bit harder than they ended up being. Really, Omega just requires a little luck that he doesn't remove your attackers... and Shinryu just requires a lot of healing. They are in no way on the level of some of the previous super bosses... FF III's Iron Giant, Dimensions Omega level Omega Weapon as examples... really these are fairly disappointing superbosses.  The other superboss is Enuo. He's kind of an upgraded Exdeath, requiring very specific equipment to kill nicely, and a nice burn phase in which you actually feel like you can die. Really though, still, he's not the hardest, and unless something strange happens, he's pretty easily killable if you've managed to survive the entire area leading up to him.

We're not done with postgame content yet though people! Beating Enuo unlocks the final class Necromancer, which is a magic using class which learns spells by getting deathblows on specific enemies. Pretty cool class, but really, kind of weird to get a new class at this point. Also, one final area is the Cloister of the Dead, which is just a boss gauntlet of 6 sets of 5, with all the non-super bosses with upgraded stats. The tuning of this is really god awful. Again, the Sealed Temple had really hard difficulty. This, which only unlocks after completing it was really simple.

So, in conclusion, this is really a good game, which I am sad was not released in the US until the Playstation. It truly is the basis of the Final Fantasy job systems and is really a fun game. It certainly isn't top in the series, but it is very worthy of a playthrough, especially if you've ever played FF IV or VI, just to see what really came between the two of them.

Status + Notes:

That's right Cloister of the Dead is one boss.... deal with it. Its just one boss with 30 phases... its like Garrosh Hellscream on crack... and easier.

So, all that's left for me to do is to make a Necromancer and get all the Dark arts... seriously. There's no more bosses or anything...

Enuo... actually kind of cool. Another boss you want FULL status immunity for. Ribbon + Angel Ring for the win... Yeah, confuse still stinks, but what can you do. So, yeah, I'm gonna get all the dark arts and then post my completion stats. Then on to Magitek...

Also, I figured I'd give some other equipment some nice blog time here...

Status + Notes:

Well, that was disappointing... never did I expect I was going to be able to one-shot both of the super bosses in this game... everything I read was saying that even with a good strategy, and levels higher than mine that it would take a decent amount of luck to beat these guys.... I completely disagree.

Omega Mk II: Well, there's really two ways to go about him. Find out his weakness, or don't care about his weakness. I went with choice 2. My setup was two fighters and two healers. The fighters both use Flare Spellblade and Rapid Fire. The healers... well they heal. The only luck involved is since you'll need at least 2 Rapid Fires to kill him, you will have to hope both your fighters don't get Encircled... if they don't you'll have more than enough damage and healing, My fighter with Ragnarok and Apocalypse did about 34000 damage from a single rapid fire.

Neo Shinryu: For my first shot on this, I used 1 fighter and 3 healers... My fighter had 2x Dragon Lance equipped with Jump. My healers... I had 1 with Dualcast, White Magic. 1 with Summon, White Magic. The other had White Magic and Blue Magic. My strategy was to get Mighty Guard up as fast as possible, then just keep myself healed while the fighter continuosly jumped. If your battle speed isn't too high, you should easily get your Mighty Guard off before he does his initial attack... that is the one after he casts Mighty Guard and Maelstrom. Once you survive the initial burst... it really is just attrition. He doesn't do any status ailments that get past Ribbon. Pretty much everything he does can be answered with Curaga. It took a while but eventually the Jumps will get him down... without him countering with Doom... and really there's no reason you won't be at full for when he casts Gigaflare and Meteor... which were also really weak through Mighty Guard.

So, yeah, time to put this game to bed. Let's get Enuo down today, get some Dark Arts and do the boss gauntlets today.

Status + Notes:


So, I tried to find the Movers in the Sealed Temple again... I had no luck. So, I went back to the rift and basically maxed out all my jobs the old fashioned way... 30 ABP at a time. Yeah, occasionally I ran into Movers... but it certainly was not reliable.

So, now it is really time to go finish off the rest of the sealed temple. May need to get some more exp levels for some more HP, but otherwise my goal is to just take down Omega Mk II, Neo Shinryu, and Enuo...

After that of course I'll max out Necromancer and take on the little boss gauntlet things...

Then it is finally time for Final Fantasy VI!

Status + Notes:

So, after beating Archeodemon... anticlimactic as THAT was... I decided to go train some more ABP since I figured I could use a 3rd mage for Omega MK II. Plus some extra stats couldn't hurt... So, I went into the rift to do some fool-proof Mover training... except it didn't work.

Apparently in FFV Advance there's a trick where if you use the quicksave feature, the first couple encounters are fixed provided you stay in the same room where you loaded. Well, if I hadn't told you, I'm emulating FF V Advance on my PSP for this playthrough... and for whatever reason, the quicksave thing doesn't work... so I trained a bit... but I'm thinking it may be time to head back.

I know there's another location with movers in the Sealed Temple down at the bottom of the River of Souls... I may try there... especially if I'm able to kill them off with Bladeblitz, and thus not have to waste Elixirs... I'll give it a shot.

I'm going to be out for most of the day today on a family trip... so don't know how much play time I'll get. I think I'll be able to get down to the Sealed Temple though.

Status + Notes:

Woo! Progress. About 1/2 way through the bonus dungeon... Which comprises... Capturing a behemoth, taking it to a guy a first floor down a few floors, returning to the beginning going through a door, examining a statue, going back to where I just was, getting a potion, running it back to the statue in 5 minutes... going down another few floors running into a guy there to get a key, and then go all the way back to the beginning...

This is where I am now... all with an encounter rate of like 1 monster every 6 steps... and they are all hard... So yeah... once I get past the boss its back all the way down and I can start heading towards the ULTRA super bosses... which I really don't think I'm high enough level yet... we'll see. With this encounter rate, by the time I get to them I'll prolly be mid 60s... I prolly will need to be level 70ish... we'll see.

SO, yeah, my goal for today is to beat Omega Mk II... Neo Shinryu is asking a bit much...

Status + Notes:

So, yeah... Rare Stealing.... lots of fun... not. Completely done with that. Stole all 3 items from Neo Exdeath... put my PSP down during the 20 minute ending... and went back to the rift and took like half an hour to steal a second Dragon Lance from a Crystal Dragon...

So, now I'm in the sealed temple... and I plan on starting to go through it. Obviously, I'm not high enough level to beat Neo Shinryu... but I'll deal with that when I get there... for now, I'll just naturally level as I go through... lots of encounters here.

My goal for today is to beat the first two bosses... this will actually take longer than it sounds :)

Status + Notes:

So, some interesting notes from today. I've almost gotten all the levels I want. Didn't really train job classes too much... that may change. I dunno. What's interesting though, is there seems to be a lot of differing opinion in the community as to what the Steal formula is for whether or not your steal will be successful. There seems to be two lines of thought.

1. Steal is a flat rate, that is doubled by Thief's Gloves.

2. There is a steal rate for an item which is modified by level, if you're a thief, and if you have the thief's gloves on.

I tend to lean towards #2, since at level 48 as a freelancer with thief gloves it was basically impossible to steal the weapons from Neo Exdeath.

My plan for today is to get to Level 55 and try again... I may need to get as high as 60, we'll see... Once I'm equipped well, its off into the Sealed Temple.

Yeah, I took a day off today. Was really tired... pumpkin picking with 2 four-year olds takes alot out of you apparently. I did, however, give myself a clear goal for today...

I want to level up enough that I can go back and kill Neo Exdeath again... why you ask? I want to steal super weapons from him of course! 2 Ragnaroks is pretty beast for the sealed temple. Plus, at that point I should have done most of the grinding I'll need to do before actually going through the temple.

So yep, there's my goal for today!

Status + Notes:

Mission complete! I am in the postgame. I did wipe on Neo Exdeath once... badly timed Maelstrom followed up by an AoE with 1 part of him left... ugh. That was annoying. I rallied though. And it is time to head to the postgame temple. I did realize I should really train everyone in Dancer so they can wear Ribbons, that will be helpful later on. Otherwise I'm just going to continue through... possibly training something if I need to.

The ending of FF V... eh... not really my favorite. It is long that is for sure. I don't really see the point in having Lenna not escape the void... only to escape the void later. There's not exactly plot in between people. So, yeah...

Also, you think with all 3 dancer equipment going you'd get Sword Dance more than like 50% of the time... maybe I had a bad streak.

Not really setting a goal for myself today. I know the postgame of this is really pretty difficult, and I may need to train some...

Status + Notes:

Did my training... most of it. Actually forgot I'm going to need 2 Mystic knights of at least lv 6 to take on Omega... so I'm finishing that up really quickly in the Forest area of the rift... and then we're taking on Omega!!! Yay, first super boss.

You may notice I've levelled everyone up to Gladiator Lv 2... Finisher is pretty good I've heard. I may be done with most of my mage training... unless I need something very specific for a particular boss... in which case I'll train something specific. I think most of my fighter AP training is done too. Need to get everyone on Mimic... nothing beats getting 3 choices for abilities...

Today I have a wedding to go to, so I probably won't get too much play time. I would like to see if I can get Omega down though. Probably tomorrow I'll go after Exdeath. Then it will be on to the postgame!

Status + Notes:

So, yeah, basically did what I wanted to do. Finished up the plot up to the rift. So, today is going to be a training day... need to get enough job levels for everyone and would like a few experience levels as well. These exp levels really come slowly in this game...

To answer Mitch's question from a couple days ago, of course I want Ranger for Rapid Fire on my physical people. I was just finishing up some other things before I actually went and trained it. Ranger isn't the best class for training, and since I was really grinding as little as possible and only changed job classes for a boss if I really really had to, I was kind of waiting for a time when I could do it without losing too much power... like getting the Yoichi's Bow.

Pretty good day... Finished Great Sea Trench as well as got Bahamut, and Phoenix... and Flare and Holy. Went and finished up my Blue Magic list, as well... and picked up Mime. Really all I have left to do is Istory Falls and then head to the rift... after getting the new job classes of course. Still am probably quite a bit underlevelled, but getting better.

My goal for today is to get ready for the rift... and to play some Hearthstone, just got into the beta last night. Seems pretty fun so far.

Oh yeah, my one wipe was to Bahamut... he Mega Flared just after my Carbuncle wore off... grr...

Status + Notes:

Eh, didn't get as far as I liked... really just cleared out the Island Shrine and picked up a couple of Blue Magic spells and the last song. But still, some progress... I think my next step is actually going to be to head into the rift to grind up a few levels... I really want to get to 40 before the last few areas. Then clear out Fork Tower, and probably get Bahamut and Phoenix. At least now I have most of the real useful legendary weapons so I'm at a good power level... missing is annoying though...

Status + Notes:

So... Side quest time!!!! That's right, 80% of World 3 is completely sidequests... its what made me hate Final Fantasy VI so much... but I think its done a little better here. With the exception of how they handle the legendary weapons... its kind of ridiculous how much overpowered they are compared to everything else you get in the other sidequest dungeons... oh well though, what can you do.

Thankfully, I finally finished my Red Mages... so I'm no longer completely underpowered... in fact I have a number of really powerful setups I can use... one of my favorite is Dance + Katanas... just wait til I can use that with Mimic... mwa ha ha ha ha...

So yeah, my goal for today is to do probably at least 2 of the Tablet dungeons... and would love to get maybe Phoenix and Bahamut... we'll see how that works out. Really need to grind some EXP... my levels are way low still.
