But only after getting lost on the Lost
Continent.
As I hope I've made clear a time or two
in recent posts in this series, I've only played this part of the
game a time or two, and it's been a long time since then, so I guess
it's only natural that I did get lost in the course of this. At
least I finally did get where it is I think I'm supposed to be in the
end.
Unfortunately, it took me a fair bit of
running around to get there, and I think my sense of direction might
be a little off in this case, too. That's in part due to the fact
that this is coming from a play session at the tail end of a
Thanksgiving day when I had a lot of other stuff going on, too. With
that in mind, the good news is that I at least had the good sense to
only do it for just under an hour, which is probably for the best.
Almost all that time was spent running
around trying to find the place while fighting mostly groups of two
and three of these green blobby flying monsters called Vepals.
Eventually, I got tired of fighting them and made use of Zidane's
“flee” ability frequently towards the end. What helped me figure
out I might have been going in the right direction was that I started
running into these blue ray-like things that I guess were from
earlier in the game because they were relatively weak. There was
also a friendly one that wanted a moonstone. Since I don't even have
one yet, let alone used it, I just ran from it.
Not long after, I found the baselike
thing I think we're supposed to be going to. It kinda looks like
something out of Star Wars, Hoth, I want to say, since this is
essentially an ice area. I don't actually know the name of the place
because I didn't go in, but like I said, it's late as I write this
and I've got quite a lot going on right now, so I wanted to keep it
short and get to bed after posting this.
For as short as all this is, though, I
did get my party up a few levels, and most of my characters started
on new skills and ablities. Most importantly, I've got Dagger
started on Ifrit, which I'm thinking will come in handy here. We'll
find out in the next issue of FF9, though. Like I said, I kind of
need to get to bed for all the other things I've got going on right
now. Hopefully, I'll get to that before too terribly long. Until
then, I hope you all had a good turkey day, and until next time, stay
safe, have fun, keep gaming, and DFTBA.
