And so the saga continues. The Princess has been rescued…. again…. and returned safely to Altair. Rather than hanging about, though, the rebel army has gone and encamped just south of Fynn with a view to re-taking the castle. Or rather, they’ve kept the Imperial army occupied while I went to storm the castle. So,

It’s not every subtitled Japanese movie which is able to hold a seven year old, a nine year old, and a pair of thirty-somethings equally transfixed. Not going to give anything away, but this is a beautiful movie which any manga or Final Fantasy fan owes it to themselves to see. Warning – those who

Argh! Damn you, Square, and your emotional plot twists. The dungeon where the Wyvverns lay their eggs almost drove me nuts. It wasn’t particularly large, but it was complex and I kept getting lost. On top of that, it was hoaching with fiends. It’s taken me hours to get the job done. So, Wyvvern egg

I have a Wyvvern egg. And I need to put it in the Life Spring. So there.

Well, I’m on my hols, but there’s always time for posting to the gaming blog of doom. The Dreadnought is destroymangated at last. Princess has been rescued and all appears to be well, except….. well I need to organise some support for the Armies of Rightness. This will hopefully come in the form of The

A nice man called Josef kindly offered me a lift on his snow craft to go and get the Goddess’s Bell, so I can get something to carry some magic fire on. Unsurprisingly, this led to a cavern in the icy wastes to the north. I’m a bit annoyed at Cid being such a self-serving

Well, that was exciting! A lot’s happened since my last post, and I expect this will be a little heavy with the spoilers, but I’ll try not to give too many things away. Well, the raid on the Dreadnought didn’t go particularly well, with the net result that a good deal of the land has

Had a quick go last night, and finished the first three ‘missions’ (which are really just tutorials). Once I got used to the odd faded-looking graphics, I decided I really liked the look of it. Although the bloke I’m playing is extremely irritating in a dialogue sense. One thing I discovered early on is that

Oh dear. I didn’t even get through the second training mission. Maybe I’m just getting too old. Too many fecking buttons. Nintendo have it spot on with the Revolution controller. Basically, the tutorial teaches you: 1) Do this to move 2) Unless you want to run, when you do this. 3) You can do this
