I decide not to begin the grind immediately. Now that the whole map is open to me I can get a bunch of other things done before its too late, things like side quests and a whole bunch of shopping. I pick a point on the map and just head there to see what there […]

#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 32
Zidane is awoken by a soldier who tells him that Lady Hilda has called a meeting in the Conference Room. However, before I go I decide to check in with Mogki, I don’t have any letters for her but she does want me to deliver one to Kumool. I then decide that I’ll go and […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 30
Part 30! And I’m still not at the end of disc three, I’m 60 hours in too, though How Long To Beat suggests I’m taking a long, long time to get through this (not to mention I started back in July!). In fairness, it’s not my main game and I am taking notes almost constantly, […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 29
Zidane, Freya, Steiner and Dagger all arrive back at the palace with the Gulug Stone, from elsewhere Kuja states that he wants to speak to Zidane alone.

#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 28
My memory card actually tried to tell me it was corrupted prior to me playing this week, thankfully I got it working again, though I’d actually had the game in sleep mode. I didn’t lose a whole lot of progress, it seems I’d last saved just prior to the fight against Ark. So, I re-did […]

Onboard, Zidane tries to engage the Black Mages in conversation, but just like the ones on the airship when we left Dali, they all ignore his questions. Zorn and thorn appear and tell him the mages only respond […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 25
I’m going to start by saying that I totally expected to have had this playthrough wrapped up by now, but taking notes and typing up has definetly added to the play time. The hunt for the third and final ingredient that I need to create the potion needed to cure Cid, or at least Doctor […]

#ThrowbackThursday: Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 23
It’s been a while, for reasons, some of them I discussed here, but also because I really got put off this for a while, which I’ll come to later. So let’s get to it, though you might want to read my last update to remind yourself where I’m at. Kuja watches on as the Invincible […]
#ThrowbackThursday Final Fantasy IX playthrough part 19
Before we get underway with part 19 of my Final Fantasy IX playthrough I’d like to say Happy New Year to you all. 2019 was the year I threw myself back into my writing after stopping towards the end of 2016 on my previous website, and, well, the fact I’m still at it is a […]
