Come for the games, stay for the drama.
So, I listened to the DCUO livestream the other day, where they showed a preview of the House of Legends episode, packed to the rafters with quality-of-life changes and new content. I was listening, fascinated, until they mentioned that House of Legends was currently LIVE ON THE TEST SERVER.
So, I, um, quit the livestream and installed the test version of DCUO and went to have a look for myself.
Having made our way to the town of Melmond, we were shocked to find a ruin. A vampire was draining all of their Earthpower? The High Lord’s Council is nowhere to be seen? Even Thomas Covenant has gone missing? Well, I guess maybe a few Warriors of Light could get the job done…
I was just going to play Final Fantasy XIV long enough to get a picture with a dwarf to illustrate how Final Fantasy themes crop up again and again… and I did that… but then I started working on the main story quest again… and… well, maybe later.
Right now, we have to deal with a certain evil critter named Astos.
Welcome to Blaugust 2nd and the first day of our Final Fantasy 1 playthrough!
Garland is the first boss the Warriors of Light meet in Final Fantasy 1. Once a hero, he has kidnapped Princess Sarah and taken her to the Chaos Shrine, there to do evil things. What happened to make him this way? Our Final Fantasy playthrough starts with our party meeting this fallen angel…
It’s the first of Blaugust! The week where a lot of game bloggers come together and… blog… to show the world just how much fun typing can be 🙂
So, for this month, I’ll be playing the first Final Fantasy game. I never had a NES, so I never played it when it first came out. My first Final Fantasy game was Final Fantasy Mystic Quest, which wasn’t even really a Final Fantasy game.
The remastered versions of the first three games (none of which were originally released in the United States) have been “pixel remastered” for the PC and released on Steam. So, for the next thirty one days, I will be journeying through Final Fantasy for the first time, and blogging about it here. We’ll see what other things come up along the way. I hope you’ll join me.
This will not be a walkthrough of Final Fantasy, I promise… well, not only that.
