There is no more space… Follow your memory, your original memory, and march forth…” Zidane: “Garland, what exactly is our memory!?” G: “…” Z: “Why can […]

We’re finally on the road to the end of Final Fantasy IX folks! At the end of last weeks post, we were stood at the bottom of a staircase/cobblestone pathway after Garland had named this new location “Memoria”. We begin by climbing the staircase towards a castle where we find a glowing orb that I […]

Wow, it’s been a long-long time since this was updated, it’s not that I’d forgotten or put the game down, its that other things happened. First I did a playthrough of Alan Wake for “Horroctober” then when I returned to FFIX the left stick on my Vita was acting up. I tried to swap it […]

We’re supposed to go to the Iifa Tree, but I really want to try some of the sidequests out, I’ve got the Mognet Central stuff, Stellazio Coins and Chocobo Forest that I think I should still be able to do. I head for Lindblum first and find Sagittarius, I’m not sure if it was there […]

After getting Quina to level 36 and equipping Auto-Float to, I head back to the Earth Shrine. I’m hoping that s/he has a fighting chance now. The Earth Guardians “Earthquake” attack now misses every time, taking some of the pressure off of Quina’s White Wind Blue Magic (which heals the whole party, but not by […]

Even though Quina is only level 30 and has only learnt a few spells last week, I decide its time to try and head to the Earth Shrine. Once there Quina tells Zidane that s/he is really pleased they’ve paired up, Zidane admits to them that he got the “leftovers”. Amusingly this only serves to […]
