Final Fantasy 1 - A Crown, Astos, A Sleeping Prince & Jolt Powder All Mixed into one!

Arriving here at the Western Keep & look at this lonely King. Tricked by Astos & now his castle lay in ruins. Bring you the crown you ask? Sure, I can bring you the crown. Btw, the music when entering this area is fantastic! One of my favorite tracks for Final Fantasy 1. It's a remix of Castle Cornelia's music which I also happen to love.

If not for the constant random battles, I would've gotten the crown a lot faster. But hey! The bright side of fighting all those battles is I gained a lot of levels & fattened my purse with gil. Anyway, let's take this crown back to the King in the Western Keep.

But alas! I am tricked! By who?! By the King of the dark elves himself, Astos! Well let's go kick his ass then! Shouldn't be much of a problem.

But of course, like he could stand up to the Warriors of Light. Thanks for the crystal eye douchebag. I think you all know who we have to give this crystal eye to. A certain cranky witch who we visited earlier in the game crying about not being able to see a thing. Let's go visit her!

Jolt tonic? Could this be useful? Let's go experiment on someone to "jolt" them awake shall we.

And what do you know! It actually wakes up sleeping beauty. As I said before, if you thought Noctis in FFXV sleeps a lot, this prince was asleep for a 5 years! 

And with the mystic key I can continue my journey. Which is backtracking to a few places & grabbing a key item. Nitro powder! Where am I going to use it? Well now, stayed tuned next time when this adventurer continues his quest to save the world. =]

In closing, I really enjoyed this part of the game. The music when you get to the Western Keep is just so fitting, here is a castle in ruins, everything is just gone. It really is like a darker version of Castle Cornelia. In Elfheim is really cool, you could say it's a shoutout to Link & Legend of Zelda. I mean hell, they all  look like Link. There's even the gravestone with "Here lies Link" on it. My only gripe about this part was going from Elfheim all back to getting the jolt tonic then back again to Elfheim. But at least I can continue on with the adventure. 

Until next time friends.

Final Fantasy 1 - Pirate Ship & Booty!

After getting lost for a bit & running into god knows how many battles, I finally managed to arrive in Pravoka safe & sound. Well after getting some rest at the inn because those battles on the way here, geez, took most of my potions & left me with little MP to heal. But I'm at full strength once again, or am I?

Let's battle this pirate then. . .  and almost lose because you forgot to change your equipment & stock up items! Good job Nyx. lol

In the end I managed to defeat the pirates & I gained a really cool pirate ship to take me from place to place in this fun & adventurous Final Fantasy world.

Lesson learned, the mage can still do some decent damage when you run out of MP to heal. Do it more! But don't expect damage like the monk & fighter does. But hey, at least I defeated them pirates. heh!

Final Fantasy 1 - Princess Saved!

The game that started my Final Fantasy addiction. Well not the PSP version of Final Fantasy 1, I started off with the original NES version which my older brother had played. I was his co-pilot while he played & this game just sucked me right in. The one thing I remember about this game is the thief becoming the ninja which I thought was pretty damn cool. Final Fantasy & ninja! Two of my favorite things as a kid. ^_^;

Back to the game, it's just the beginning of the game so I've only saved Princess Sarah at the King's request. I think Garland defeated me the first time I went to fight him, I was still a bit weak so I spent some time leveling up before challenging him again. Mission accomplished! Now the real story starts.
