Wrapping Up
2008-06-03 07:04:00 At this point, I think I?m ready to move on to Final Fantasy V. I?ve been playing this game for so long that I?m itching to get on to something new. It?s actually embarrassing how long it took me to... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy. More About: Final Fantasy I
Marriage?
2008-06-03 00:04:00 I’d like to make more comments about the ending, but unfortunately the Japanese in the ending came at me pretty fast, and I have to confess, I missed quite a bit of it. Over the past year,... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy. More About: Marriage , Final Fantasy I
Zeromus 3, Us 1!
2008-06-01 20:53:00 Yes! Finally! Victory! I?m actually not sure if we would have needed the kitchen knife or not, but this time we managed to take Zeromus down! The fight was still long, but this time I did a much... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy. More About: Final Fantasy I
Time Travel for a Kitchen Knife
2008-05-31 18:49:00 I stood there and looked at my party, sitting outside the entrance to the Palace of the Moon. I thought about how much more time it was going to take to get all the way back down to that final battle... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy.

I Run
2008-05-31 06:42:00 With our confidence at an all-time low, we hack our way once more through the boss fights over the last few levels of the Moon Palace.

Zeromus 3, Us 0
2008-05-30 03:57:00 Sigh. This battle went much better than the last one, but in the end Zeromus overpowered us. I?m guessing that I managed to get about 40,000 or so hit points on him, but he attacks too quickly and... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy.

Approaching Zeromus, Part III
2008-05-29 03:12:00 As I lick my wounds and grind my way toward Zeromus again, I think about some strategy for this next attempt… First, we don?t appear to start doing damage to each other until Cecil uses the...

Zeromus 2, Us 0
2008-05-27 04:40:00 Oh, snap. The same damn thing happened. Slower speed didn?t help us at all, as Zeromus still bashed our party about like ragdolls. I don?t think I put more than 20,000 hits on him before we were all... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy. More About: Final Fantasy I
Approaching Zeromus, Part II
2008-05-26 06:01:00 We hack our way through the various monsters in the Moon Palace again. I?ve done this section before, and this time things go a little faster and a little smoother.

Ouch, by Zeromus
2008-05-25 00:24:00 Well, I found the end. In more ways than one. We reached yet another jump point in Final Fantasy I V?s Moon Palace, found ourselves at the bottom of a set of stairs. Standing at the top were Golbez... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy. More About: Ouch
Does This Place Ever End?
2008-05-24 06:04:00 Man, how far does this Moon Palace Basement go? I started with over 400 high potions, and I?m down to less than 100. Random encounters now are frequent and tough. I haven?t seen a save point for... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy. More About: Place , Final Fantasy I
Groundhog Day, Starring My Final Fantasy Party
2008-05-22 20:08:00 The Moon Palace?s Basement is such a sprawling place, and filled with such an amazing collection of bosses and enemies. Detailing each one of the boss fights would get fairly repetitive, but as we... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy.

Dark Bahamut
2008-05-22 04:18:00 This Moon Palace Basement is one hell of a huge basement. We got spun around a bit as we hacked our way through the sixth and seventh floors.

Murasame
2008-05-18 19:18:00 Well, after talking about how good Final Fantasy I V was at forcing the player to make meaningful purchasing decisions for most of the game, I now find myself with over 900,000 gil. Humm. So much for... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy.
A Foray into the Crystal Palace Basement
2008-05-18 00:55:00 We quickly head off through the caverns that lead to the Crystal Palace . Once there, we learn that the palace goes much deeper than we had thought before.

Our Buddy Golbez
2008-05-16 19:54:00 Or not. I thought for sure we?d be fighting Golbez, but the most remarkable things ensued once we had destroyed the giant?s brain. The tale gets a bit long and winding, so I?ll do the Reader?s Digest... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy. More About: Buddy , Final Fantasy I
Revenge on the Giant?s Brain
2008-05-15 21:53:00 Once again we initiate the fight against Final Fantasy I V?s Giant ?s Brain . This time, however, we have a plan, and it works perfectly, almost.

Eaten by a Giant?s Brain
2008-05-15 06:20:00 Aha! I didn?t have to travel much farther to learn more. Almost immediately after our fight with the Elemental Lords, we come upon the mechanical heart of the beast.

Slight Delay?
2008-05-12 05:24:00 Life is quickly getting back to normal, but I still have a couple of loose ends to tie up. Sorry that I missed the May 10 return, but things look very good for May 12 or May 13.

2008-04-07 00:49:00 Hi All, I’m very sorry for the disappearance again. I was hoping to be able to maintain posting through March and April, but that looks to have been a bit too optimistic.

FuSoYa
2008-03-01 00:11:00 Well, that was different. The older man goes by the name of FuSoYa, and he is benevolent. Instead of trying to beat us silly, he tells us a story. Neat. The story gets a bit complicated, but these... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy. More About: Final Fantasy I

2008-02-29 00:09:00 Encouraged by our success against Bahamut, we pack up supplies and head out on what appears to be a winding journey to the Moon ?s Crystal Palace .

Bye Bye Bahumut!
2008-02-28 00:03:00 I?d be more confident if I had a better strategy for this rematch with Bahamut, but I don?t. All I?ve got at the moment is to have Rosa cast ?Reflect,? and then we?ll adjust from there. If all works... This full article can be read at http://www.gamingtales.com/finalfantasy.

More articles from this author:2008-02-24 20:58:00 Well, once we got to the moon, we magically remembered that Yang had a wife in Fabul. Funny how that just popped into our collective consciousness.
