Where I Currently Am: End Game Training
Stuff Did Today:  Made it to the end of Pandemonium after alot of elevator Hijinks. Garland was there waiting for me. I defeated his Silver Dragon and then Garland himself. Kuja used this opportunity to steal Garland's ship the Invincible and steal the souls residing within. We fought Kuja and beat him up, however he used the souls he stole to put himself in Trance... he cast Ultima... it hurt... in fact it destroyed the planet. Luckily, we were able to steal the Invincible ourselves and escape with all the genomes, who we brought to live at the Black Mage Village.

Before heading off to defeat Kuja, we had some things to do. First, I went and delivered the final Stellazios to the bird lady in Treno... she told me there was one more... so I went and got it, and got a Hammer. Next, I took Choco and dug up the final treasure where Shimmering Island used to be, then I went to see the big fat chocobo. He gave me his card and told me to go find all the beaches... so I did. Now I can rest there. Next, I bought the Magical Fingertip from the Treno Auction House and delivered it to someone in Daguerreo who gave me the Excalibur in return. Next, we solved the mystery of Mognet Central, getting some Superslick from Ruby to fix their machine. They gave us a Protect Ring in return. Finally, we caught enough frogs to have Quale himself challenge us. We stole all his stuff and defeated him, getting the Gastro Fork in return... now its time to prep ourselves for that big orb up in the Sky Garden.

Status & Notes: 

Hooray, Disc 4!!! Unfortunately, I'm very mad at myself. I forgot to get Stiltzkin to show up in Bran Bal... so I missed out on a Ribbon. Certainly not anything worth like replaying the game or something... but I'm annoyed at myself none the less.

I really do love the Pandemonium music. It kind of reminds me of the music from Ultimecia's Castle from Final Fantasy VIII. However, whereas that music really contrasted against all the other music from that game to stand out, in this game the dark gothic organ music actually fits in pretty well. We've known about this guy for a while now, and the whole setting just fits... and then Kuja goes into trance, and whoa.. don't really know what happened there... Feathers??? really??? I always kinda thought going into trance should've caused his tail to come out. Maybe though that would be stealing from DBZ a bit though, I don't know.

Alright, so really very little left to do. Honestly, there's just training for Ozma... and beating him... then heading to Memoria to finish the game. I'd love it if I took down Ozma today, but I'd really take just getting close to high enough level to do so. I want to be in the mid 70s really for it. Time to kill a lot of dragons... Let's see how it goes...
