You and me both, especially because I'm half tempted to revise my list(which i just might) and add the original zelda.


Still trudging through FF1 at the moment. Seems the only time I've gotten around to playing it since I've been asleep during the day a lot lately(albeit during the time I am awake i could be playing more of it and really want to play the game). Still working my way around the elfheim chapter. I made it to the ruined castle, and now trying to get back to elfheim for a few spells, and a few more antidotes. Just want to make sure i have enough supplies because i remember how much of a pain it is trying not to get poisoned in marsh cave...

You and me both....was going to play it a few days ago while sitting at home and the thing was dead, talk about a real motivation killer to get farther in the game...

TSTR vs. darsparx

Who will take the longest to complete Final Fantasy?! :lol:

I'm pretty confident I can finish my list before summer is out. At this point I'm just gonna play all 10 without any "break" games in between.

And I'm already thinking of what to include on my 2015 list. :lol:

FF1 ain't no joke of a game Deez. Especially because I always get tripped up on armor and weapons. Esepecially since it seems that usually after elfheim most of the stuff that can be purchased in Melmond(since that's usually as far as i have gotten in past playthroughs) is worthless because you can find most stuff in dungeons which is kinda sad :| (though I tend to play for a no-revival run if one party member dies i usually restart or hope I can run as fast as i can to the closest town because I hate getting the exp off when it comes to leveling and usually forget to get phoenix downs)

Oh, I'm gonna take it down sooner rather than later. Got the PSP all charged up for winding down with FF after Fight Night this evening. I've got way too many other sick games on the list I wanna play to be stuck on this one.

Played through more Symphony of the Night yesterday. Explored the last bits of the Necromancy Lab, the rest of the inverted Orlox's Quarters (whatever thats called) and inverted colosseum and all of the inverted bell tower area. I defeated the awesome boss of the colosseum
Trevor, Sypha and Grant
in short order (I'm far too powerful - I probably shoudl have done this area way before finding Garamoth) and also decimated the Medusa boss in literally 3 seconds. It literally took less than 10 attacks.

I'm at over 196% completion now. I was literally ready to go and fight Dracula last night when I had to turn off because it was getting late. Really frustrating, it's always anticlimactic when you jump straight into the final boss and beat it in like 30 minutes instead of working your way towards it in one big play session imo.

What racer are you using? If it's A.Stewart I recommend going for a custom set-up with max speed. That's what I used to best the game - you're probably screwed if you fall off anyway, so higher acceleration isn't so useful.
