FF Marathon: Thoughts on Final Fantasy III

You know what? I’m lazy. I’m crazy lazy. I am also convinced I have something akin to ADHD, thus my apparent inability to update. I’m not a writer, I’m really not…and I’m definitely a terrible one at that. So I am trying to find a way to write these posts in a way that is comfortable for me. I’m not a writer, I’m not a professional reviewer, or a journalist. Just someone who is wildly obsessive passionate about video games.

With that said, this basically sums up what I like about Final Fantasy III for the Nintendo DS:

FF Marathon: Thoughts on Final Fantasy II

In this game Guy speak beaver.

I think I’ve made it clear how I feel about this game: pure unadulterated derision. Final Fantasy II is probably one of the more debated games in series due to it’s departures from it’s predecessor and lack of traditional leveling system. It’s still a miracle that I even finished it. This accomplishment wouldn’t have been possible without the encouragement and cheer-leading of my friends. I had to literally force myself to sit down and finish it, and I am glad that I did because it means that I don’t ever have to play this game ever again.

FF Marathon: My Thoughts on Final Fantasy I

I first played through Final Fantasy Dawn of Souls Edition years ago around when it came out and didn’t really get that far. I thought it was a nice diversion and was okay with the balance. Since I restarted it and finished it back in August, my opinions have since changed. For me, the Dawn of Souls version of this game is pitifully easy, aside from completely optional dungeons. I think the highlight of this game was the fact that I beat the final boss by setting up attacks with the “memory” option turned on, holding down the A button, and watching the television. About twenty minutes later the boss was down and I didn’t even make a second glance at the screen. I’m not even really sure if it took twenty minutes – it was just twenty minutes later I looked down at the screen and realized the battle was over.
