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 […]

#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 45
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 […]
Ranking Final Fantasy
When stuck for inspiration, lists are usually a good place to go. I don’t do them a whole lot but they can be a lot of fun for both the writer and the reader. Recently RetroChi on Twitter posted her TierMaker list of her favourite Final Fantasy games: Please don't lynch me. #finalfantasyrankingI want to […]

Disc 4 opens up Black Mage Village. Vivi seems to be very busy and it would appear he’s got the Black Mages to agree to the Genomes setting up home alongside them. No.288 believes its a great idea, remarking that they’re similar in many ways and promises Zidane that the villagers will look after “his […]

Well, its been a long time coming, and though we’ve not reached the end yet, we’ve finally finished Disc 3 of 4! This is going to be a long, long one I reckon, so get yourself a drink and let’s get on with it. We leave Moorock, for now at least, it’s probably best he […]

Kuja stands on a rockface and complains about returning to Terra, however, he says its only temporary as “Soon, the power will be mine alone Mwahahahaha… Just you wait, Garland! And you too, Zidane! I’ll exact my sweet revenge upon you both for insulting me! I’ll make the people of both Gaia and Terra know […]

#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 39
It’s been a couple of weeks since my last Final Fantasy IX update. In that, I mostly detailed plans for levelling up after completing the Earth Shrine, which is essentially what I’ve spent the majority of the time between updates doing. Back in that last one, I reported that Quina was level 36, well, they’re […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 38
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 […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 37
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 […]
