Played a bunch of Final Fantasy this week.
Gave up on FF2 Famicom. I just can’t do it. I spent about 4 hours trying to get through the last dungeon and I just kept getting screwed. Bad luck or a small mistake turned into game overs time and time again. I’ve beaten the Famicom version before so I’m just going to give up on this play but pick it up again on the PSP whose version I have yet to actually beat.
There is a thread on GAF of the Final Fantasy 5 challenge I’ve started. The thread is getting huge. There are over thirty people participating and more people keep asking to join. Basically, I’m only letting people use 4 of over the 20 classes available in the game. Some people have it easy, some have it hard some people really got fucked.
I got fucked pretty hard.
I got the Monk, Berserker, Hunter and Dancer. The first one is the only really good one. The third has a useful sill but only useful for getting other skills for a class I can’t use. The fourth has pretty good skills as well, but to help out other classes that I just can’t use. That’s going to be a pain. The Berserker is screwing me over royally. Having one class that I can’t control at all is proving to be a great challenge, but at the same time it is a bit of an asset as I can ignore that character and spend all of my time focused on taking care of the rest of the battle with only a few characters. Still tough as nails but it has been pretty fun so far.
Hoping to work on some other games for a change. It has been almost a month since I finished a game and I’d like to change that.
