Final Fantasy IV – Episode 10 – More Gimmicks!

Wow this Final Fantasy IV episode took some effort to record. My first attempt ended with a sudden power cut, leaving me in the dark for nearly five hours.

When the power returned, I recorded the episode, going for a bit longer than usual as I tried to end the episode with win over a boss, for once! But alas, the Dark Elf proved too strong for that to happen. Continue reading Final Fantasy IV – Episode 10 – More Gimmicks!

Final Fantasy IV – Episode 9 – Lose your temper, win the fight!

New week, new Final Fantasy IV episode. This week we pick up where we left off. As it’s become tradition in this playthrough, I ended the previous episode by dying to the latest boss, yet another Archfiend sent by Golbez to stop us.  Continue reading Final Fantasy IV – Episode 9 – Lose your temper, win the fight!

Final Fantasy IV – Episode 8 – Shifty Eyes

And we’re back! In this episode of Final Fantasy IV, we get things ready, buy some items and other fun stuff and find the back door into Baron castle, intent on rescuing Rosa from Golbez and now-heel Kain.

Final Fantasy IV – Episode 6 – Plot Mountain

Whoo boy was that an eventful Final Fantasy IV episode last week! Made it through the mountains, met a monk, killed bombs and their mothers and mounted a pathetic and futile defence against the Baron Red Wings in Fabul.

Kain turned heel on us and tried to kill Cecil, and we finally saw the big baddie Golbez take the stage, his sombre presence as awesome now as it was the first time I played the game. This isn’t a mocking, taunting Final Fantasy enemy, this is one that takes care of business, or at least sets one of his trusted generals to do it for him. Continue reading Final Fantasy IV – Episode 6 – Plot Mountain

Final Fantasy IV – Episode 2

Last week had a lot going on in the first Final Fantasy IV episode. Departed from Baron, blew up Mist, rescued the little girl summoner, Rydia and even made it to Kaipo, only to discover that Rosa had somehow made it there as well, in record time and with desert fever!

So that’s where we are in this episode, going through the Aqueduct towards Damcyan, to get the Sand Pearl, the only medicine in the world that can save Cecil’s beloved White Mage. Continue reading Final Fantasy IV – Episode 2
