This at least starts with a nice idea.
Turns out we can't get Yang back in the
party once we find him in the Sylph Cave. It fits the story better
that way anyhow, but worth a shot, I guess. He's gotta be where he
is so he can be in command of one of the tanks that goes after the
Giant of Bab-Il when the party gets back from the moon.
So, it's off to Mysidia and the moon
from there. The plot points of getting the Blue Whale and FoSoYa in
the party went down the same as they always do. And I'm going for
the Bahamut summon while I've got the game's moon man in the party,
like I always do. Makes it a little easier to have two party members
who can cast the Wall spell, and this is supposedly the “easy”
version of the game. Well, not really supposedly. I know from
experience now, because I've played the Anthology version, or
whichever version of the game it is that was released for the
Playstation with Chrono Trigger, and that version's way harder. It's
to the point that I wound up getting stuck at the point where I am
now. I think it's partly because I made the foolish mistake of
trying to rush through the way I normally do instead of playing it
the “correct way”, like I'm doing this go. If I'd put more time
into it, I might have better luck, but I'll try that later.
Anyway, there are a few fixed
encounters with Behemoths in Bahamut's Cave. I got a Headband from
the first one. Can't recall if that's a common thing or not.
I took a break after the first one and
then just pushed through the second and third ones and took on
Bahamut in one sitting. I guess it's a good thing I went to the
trouble of farming up as many Light Swords and other such things for
Edge to throw, because they really came in handy against the
Behemoths and Bahamut himself. They all went down considerably
easier than I remember. It isn't often, as I recall, that I can take
down Bahamut after only one round of his Megaflare attack. Even if
it is way slower in the US version that I'm playing now, it still
takes me at least two rounds. That's still better than I did with
the Anthology version, where Bahamut killed my party before I could
even get wall on anybody. But I think that's partly because my
levels were typically low.
But with Bahamut taken care of, it's
back to Mother Earth to take care of the giant alien robot. That's
for a later time, though.
Until next time, stay safe, have fun,
keep gaming, and DFTBA!
