Status + Notes:

Eh, didn't get as much plot done as I'd like today, but I do some levelling, and a bit of AP grinding...  and some Blue Magic gathering... still a bit of side stuff to do actually before I continue with the plot.

The one side area I really did today was Jochol... and its cave. Now, the cave serves two purposes... 1. Its the best AP grinding spot for World 1. 2. To absolutely confuse you if you choose to release Lone Wolf. Yeah, you let Lone Wolf out of prison and he takes all the treasure from here... not that its overly useful anyway.

Something I want to comment on about FF V is the general plot... Yeah, its silly, but they certainly leave alot of details out. I don't mean specific things, its just like Mid runs off to go tell off his grandfather Cid, and we can assume he's somewhere in Karnak after the Ship debacle... but where exactly? We don't know. Alot of things are like this. We are never directed to the meteor to warp to Karnak. Having not played this game in quite a few years I've forgotten a lot of these bits.

Also, its amazing that this game came out after Final Fantasy IV. Alot of the design of the world seems almost primitive in comparison to FF IV. The dungeons are so short.. oh well, the job system still rocks.
