Final Fantasy Play-Along

[Ruki]

....every other step in the Cavern of the Earth is a battle! Rawr!

What is a good level to beat this cavern? Currently level 19, on the verge of 20.

[Magus978]

You've got a chance at around level 20 or 21. Level 22 if you don't have many healing items or low MP.

[Ruki]

Ok, done for today....level 20, bought myself Life, Curaga, Heala, and Firaga...

[PkmnTrainerJ]

Okay,that EarthGift Shrine is irritating. When does it actually end? Anyways, level 25, so calling it a night. Where do I head to once that is done? Or I give up.

[Ruki]

You can't give up, if you give up, then we will never get onto 2 or 3!

[Magus978]

the Earthgift Shrine is optional. Don't worry about it. Just get yourself killed and you'll come back outside the shrine with 1 HP. You will probably have needed to gotten near the end to have a chance. My weaponry and armor wasn't even putting a dent in the Cerberus. I'll be coming back there after I get my 3rd crystal and some better weapons/armor.

[Pizza]

We can skip ahead to 5 though... Please?

[Ruki]

I will be skipping 5, I just beat that a year ago

How in the fuck do you guys have 8 hours or so? Anyway, I just got all the treasure from the Mystic Key and am about to continue the "story" tomorrow.

[Avenged Probably]

Hopefully I'll be starting this today (assuming its arrived when I get home), cos I'm not a game pirate

I'll probably go into full game mode and play until the early hours, making myself tired, square eyed and feeling pretty fucked the next day... but ah well I ought to get a good start since I'm going to be away over the weekend.

For anyone who's played both this game and number III, I was wondering;

From what I've read this is sounding very similar to III, four warriors? Four crystals to collect? Job classes? Is the story much the same apart from that? Or is it quite similar?

[Katsuya]

This is where I got up to last night (the play time is a little ahead of how much I actually played >_>)

I'd like to point out that my money is so abysmal because I want on a shopping spree when I arrived. I swear it's the only place where I've been able to buy stuff for the Mage's...

[MalaCloudy Black]

.. nice names.

[Katsuya]

I'm a whore for female singers, what can I say?

[whiskers]

Wow, I'm really far behind on this. I was planning on getting Origins soon, but it can't be for a little while, since the only store near me with a new copy is where I go to class. Oh well, see you all for II.

In all my previous playthrough, I quit soon after I got to the brooms. I just got completely lost after that. The massive amount of leveling I had to do at the beginning is kind of discouraging at first.

[Avenged Probably]

Finally fired up number I just recently

First impressions, its pretty fun and omg the battle music is awesome.

Actually, I found that in terms of levelling, it's fairly easy at the beginning. You level up to like, 3/4 within 15-20 fights, and that's more than enough to deal with most creatures. I've yet to have anyone faint, which is nice.

Now for in-game stuff, but this might be a little bit spoilery so I'll just say it's after the Marsh Cave...

I had completely forgotten that the guy in the Keep was Astos and that there was a boss battle incoming. Thankfully I'd used Cura/Cure just before then, so everyone was able to hold their own.

.

And now, since I'm completely useless at figuring out what to do, where does one go after waking up that guy?

You got the key, right? You should look around the Western Keep (I think there is doors there), Garland's Castle, and Corneria Castle (a bunch of good items, especially if you have more than one fighter)....you will get nitro powder, then you take it to the dwarves to the west.

I'd been to the Western Keep and got the Falchion (or something of a similar name) and some cash, I think. I'll head off to the other two then

Need to hit up Corneria for sure, as it is the only way to move forward

Bottom of Marsh Cave has stuff too.

Anyway, put the puppy to bed so time to play.
