Final Fantasy 1 - Part 7

Let's blow up some dwarf crap with our nitro powder.

Crazy dwarf man Nerrick made a canal!



Time to explore ye 'ol western lands.

After crossing the canal there's a dangerous looking whirlpool... obviously I have to go into it!

Lifespring Grotto. Huh, there's a random woman here.  Oh, that's a tail. She's a mermaid. Apparently this place exists to allow mermaids and humans to love and live together.



Another creepy shrine evil looking thing. "Fetid water seeps from the statue..."

Time to explore the vast blue pixelated ocean. Following the coast south, around to the east, and then north until it looks like a new land area. Let's check it out.

Nice, this place has some high level monsters, gotta find a town and grind.

Crescent Lake! Dat Inn.

200g seems kinda steep.  Oh look at all the upgrades!  Magic... wait a tick, they're selling lvl 6 spells and I don't even have lvl 5 yet.  Whoops!

Level up! (25) Damn, still no level 6 spells

Ding again! (26) that was fast... and lvl 6 spells!

Damn, each spell is 13k. Gonna grab 2 black and 2 white.

Here are my spells so far.






Time for bed!


-------

Let's grind!

Level up! (27)

Ding! (28) This is goin pretty fast.

Double Ding! (30) Damn this place is awesome for grinding.

This is going to be a pretty boring session... I think I'll add it to the end of the last one.

Lalala don't mind me (34)

Final Fantasy 1 - Part 6

Alright, let's go wake up a prince.

OMGOMGOMG THE ELF DUDE GAVE ME THE MYSTIC KEY.



So many doors to unlock...

Now I have to go through my past entries and find where all the doors are.

Got the one in the Elven castle. Let's check out Marsh Cave because there were quite a few down there.

I think I got them all out of Marsh Cave and a Ding! (23)

On a hunch I assumed there was a mystic key door in Western Keep I forgot to jot down. I was right, nice upgrades in there too.

Wandering around trying to find the Dwarf place again was a nightmare, but I dinged! (24)

There are a lot of chests in the dwarven mystic room... Wyrmkiller?!  That just sounds badass



Got the one in the Chaos Shrine and it had Werebuster.  Were stuff be...ware!

Oh snap! I double-checked to make sure there wasn't another room here... there totally was and it has a Rune Blade!

Okay that should be all of them except for the first Castle... onward!

Whooooop! Nitro powder! Gotta hit up dem dwarves... Next time.

Final Fantasy 1 - Part 5

Short on money, high on time... let us grind!

ding!! (19)

Oh yeah, let's go back to the cave.

Went back to that top stairs down... not much down there, going back to the rope ladder and then to B3.

Did I mention this place is filled with bat sprites saying "Kee kee!"

Found a door in the SW of B3 that is bound by the mystic key. Lame.

Ding! (20) Not so lame.

And another mystic key room the east of that...

...and another one east of that.

Oh FFS, a double mystic key room east of that.

I found the crown! I'm going to talk to the elf prince first before going back to Western Keep.

"The witch Matoya can brew any potion you can image." I can imagine quite a bit little elf dude.

"The dwarves live in a cave on the western edge of the Aldean Sea. They're a friendly bunch!" - random elf. Sure, trust a dwarf loving elf...

Oh! So the dark elf king, Astos, is not king of all the elfs, just the dark elfs. He's the one who cursed the elf prince. Lame balls.

Nice, they have a treasure house bound with a mystic key!

The elf prince has been asleep for 5 years, the healer is looking for a medicine that can rouse sleep. Maybe the dwarves have it? Oh wait! That elf mentioned Matoya being able to brew any potion I can image. I image a sleep wakey upy potion. Now, where to find her?

To the Western Keep!

Here you go guy, I got your crown back!

GAH IT'S THE ELF KING IN DISGUISE!



You are going down elf king!



Down in two rounds again... THE BEST!

I obtain the crystal eye. Yay maybe...

Oh! The crystal eye! "Oh a cave up north of Pravoka has some old dude in it missing a crystal ball.  Dude has brooms that sweep the place on their own so you know he's legit."
^^This is why I have this blog. To the old dude!

Err... first dem dwarves.  Mount Duergar, cool cool.

The Smyth can make me a magical sword with adamantite. Noted.

More mystic key doors.

Nerrick needs help getting rid of a giant rock in his way. He needs nitro pouder! (his words not mine)

Level up! (22) I must have missed one in there.

Okay Matoya has her crystal eye back and I have jolt tonic. Hmm... jolt. Perhaps I shall jolt someone awake. Heheheheh.

Done for now!

Amnesia - Part 1

Jeff and I have been playing for quite a while on and off... I have no clue what we're doing. Luckily Jeff remembers the slightest details when it comes to layout.

Not sure how far we are but it feels like we are near the end. I don't really remember what's going on other than we are deep under the house and we just came across a dude missing most his face.

-------

 Okay, some random room that means nothing and this is Amnesia so let's stay crouched and sloooowly move around.

Ooops my sanity is ...

Huh, not much here. Where did we come from? Oh, it's the dude with no face, let's go the other way.

Cistern?  Sure let's go through the door.

OH GOD THE MUSIC CHANGED WHERE IS THE MONSTER!!??

Okay there he is, just stay crouched and don't look him in the eye holes.

Phew. Okay four way intersection, go right obviously.

This room has a lot of weird drawings. Probably important.


Jeff had to leave so we'll stop here.

Final Fantasy 1 - Part 4

Going to wander around and explore some more with the ship.

I found a hole in the map down south... let's go! Marsh Cave B1. This sounds deep.

Okay, there's a stair case leading down in the top left and a rope ladder down in the bottom. Meh, rope ladder it is. Marsh Cave B2!!

Ding!! (18)

Blast! I found a broadsword and I just bought one from town.

Weird, I don't think they lead to the same place. I've been wandering around and found the way lower but not the way back up other than the ladder.  Gotta heal up and then I'm going back to the other way down. That makes sense in my head.

I found the elf kingdon of, get this, Elfheim! HEAL ME LITTLE ELFS

The prince is in trouble?

Fira and Thundara baby!

"When the time is right the future will be revealed to me. I shall wait here until then." -random elf chick near the armor store.

Gravestone had something interesting on it.



They have level 3 and 4 spells for sale. Whelp, there goes my money. Time to grind! *looks at clock* Next time!

Final Fantasy 1 - Part 3

First off, I added a little grinding to the end of part 2. Not much happened, trust me.

Today we're going to find out what these pirates are doing in Pravoka.

-------



Bikke's Bikkeneers! These guys sound legit.

Battle is over after killing 9 measly pirates.

I GET A PIRATE SHIP?!

So I guess there's some elves to the north but the elf prince has fallen into a deep sleep. Oh and there are no docks in the north.

Some old dude fled from Melmond, a town far to the west overrun by monsters. I'll help you! But first I'm going to explore more and make sure there' nothing else on this continent.

Level up! (14)

Oh, might as well make it x3 (16)

Now off to the deep blue oceans in our brand new pirate ship.

Mokay, port to the south or west.  South!

Oops, ding again (17)

I wandered way west and found the ruined Western Keep. The king was tricked by Astos, king of the dark elves. Damn him. If i retrieve his crown from Marsh Cave, the king will be able to restore his castle. Sounds like a job for the WARRIORS OF LIGHT!



Time for bed.

Final Fantasy 1 - Part 2

In which we grind a bunch more and try to find Garland. You know, the ex-knight who stole the princess!  Let's get him!!

-------

Oh yeah, this version has a bestiary. 143 Goblins defeated! *flex*

Grind. Level up! (6)

There's a Chaos Shrine and a cave up north. Chaos Shrine is where we're suppose to go so... Cave!

Earthgift Shrine. Sounds cool.

Oh balls, some old dude is just chillin in here.

Dafuq is this statue thing in the way?

"The putrid stench of decaying earth hangs on the air..." Go home statue, you're drunk.

Okay, grind to level 7 and then to Chaos Shrine!

Ding! (7) Should I buy equipment?  Nah... I'll wait to see what I find at the shrine... #badidea
I did buy Fire and Thunder for Jesse.

Holy poop I have a lot of money from grinding.  LALALABUYALLTHETHINGS

Oooooh, a door in the first floor, top right is bound by a mystic key. *note to self

Errr, and the bottom right as well. This key gets around.

Garland!  He wants to trade the princess for the kingdom.  Totally even trade.

Watch out, he's going to knock us down!



Two rounds and he died. I may have been grinding too much. Nah!

Guys, we saved the princess!

Oh now the king believes we're the Warriors of Light. Psh. Whatever.

Crystal hunters are we.  First crystal is in the north. Everything is in the north!

I uhh... obtain the lute? Also, ding! (8)

So appearantly the lute has been passed down generations and can shatter the gateway of evil. To the cave!

Fastest. Bridge Construction. Ever.

Okay, so that stinky statue is still here. I guess it's not a gateway so I'll leave it for now. Bummer.

Let's check out the Shrine again now that Garland is gone.

Aww... nothing here.  Grind time!

Whooop! (9)

Crossed the bridge and headin East.

Oh no Jesse died! Stupid wolves!

Thank god a town! Pravoka? Oh dear, the first person I speak to says "Please, help us!"

-------

Time for bed!


-------

Hopping on for a quick grind before work.

Grind grind grind! (10)

Oh a cave up north of Pravoka has some old dude in it missing a crystal ball.  Dude has brooms that sweep the place on their own so you know he's legit.

Ding!  x3 (13)

Okay, time for work. Next time, pirates!
