Final Fantasy IV (GBA)

Ok, so I didn’t end up sneaking into Baron after all, but instead managed to get all my mates eaten by Leviathan and washed ashore on the shores of Mysidia. The people of Mysidia aren’t too fond of me but have loaned me two tiny wizards and sent me packing up to the top of

Final Fantasy IV (GBA)

After my humiliating defeat on Mount Hobs, I thought it an idea to warp out of the dungeon and do a short bit of random-encountering before going back up the hill and over to Fabul. Just getting another level on every made it all a bit easier and set me up well for the siege
