Some vague ramblings, senseless and aimless as a colorless moth
Hoo, another episode comin’ in hot!
I’m editing it as I type these words, in fact. I was really trying to get it done earlier this time, finished about half of it earlier this week, but since then I’ve been to busy, what with the holidays and all. Had a lovely thanksgiving this year, up in Seattle, probably the best turkey I’ve ever had in my life. Or at least second to the deep-fried bird I had as a kid, one time.

I’m finishing this up and writing this post on Saturday evening! Really want to get ahead on these, but oh well. As long as I get it up at all, I’ll call that a victory. This is just a hobby, after all.
Continue reading “Let’s Play FFT 09 – Let’s Become Heretics!”Ahh, I’ve been taking a little break from working on this project, almost fell behind schedule!
I’ve got plenty of recordings done, up through next year, but I’ve fallen behind on editing. It’s easy enough to slap the intro on the front, but I like to go through and make sure I don’t leave in like a coughing fit or to add little image and text popups, just for fun. I may do less of that as I work on catching up, haha.
Continue reading “Let’s Play FFT 08 – Playing Tourist”Alright, I’ve got an extra long episode for ya this week.
I ran into a little trouble in one of the fights, but it was mostly that once you get into this set of missions, it’s hard to stop! There are a couple things here that show some weaknesses of the storyline, a bit too much happening off-screen at times, but overall it’s really strong. This is where things definitively Take A Turn, plotwise.

This playthrough has been fun for learning how the heck you’re actually supposed to pronounce a lot of these names. Some of them I still get wrong a lot out of habit, like Rahmza instead of Ram-za (like the animal). It’s hard to feel too bad though, since it is all a mish-mash of various European languages filtered through two translations and mixed together freely.
Continue reading “Let’s Play FFT 06 – Gowg or Gawg?”Posting this LP so slowly has a bit of a surreal feeling to it.
The first ten episodes were all recorded basically daily, one after another, because I was on vacation and was having a ton of fun playing the game and recording. But now that I’m back at work, I no longer have the time or the energy for it. Like, yes, technically I have hours and hours after I finish work, but I don’t wanna stare at a screen thinking. That’s what I do at work all day!
Continue reading “Let’s Play FFT 05 – Betrayal at Zeirchele”Got a real barn burner this week.
Some close calls! Some big plot movements! Including the end of the first chapter of the game. Really moving right along, some of these battles took me hours and hours of grinding before. I did a little bit this time, but it’s been way, way less than usual.
Continue reading “Let’s Play FFT 04 – By the Skin of Our Teeth”Another one in the bag!
Man, this is so fun, I am having a great time making these videos. Nobody is watching them, but that’s fine, it’s an exercise for me to be creative. Plus, it’s early days. I will be persistent, I know what I’m trying to do, just gonna put it out there in the world. Numbers are poison.
Continue reading “Let’s Play FFT 03 – The Whole Milleuda Arc”Alright, got another one o’ these ready to go.
I think I’m gonna make sunday my usual upload day, get on more of a regular schedule. I was so eager for the first one, I didn’t even think about it. I’m on vacation this coming week, so I’ll probably go and record several episodes, so I can have a buffer and actually get them out consistently on time! What a concept!
Continue reading “Let’s Play FFT 02 – Ancient Magicks”Hello everyone, it’s been a while!
I apologize for the radio silence, though I did warn that I might be away for a while after finishing Moby Dick. I thought I could do those weekly blog posts… but it didn’t really work out. Then I thought I could get back to reviewing games, and while I do like the ones I wrote, it didn’t really give me the same satisfaction as my deep dive into Moby Dick.
But, I had a thought the other day: what if I did an LP of that new version of FFT? That would be fun, I know it’s a game I can finish!
