Persona 4, Final Fantasy 3
I plodded through the dungeon in Persona 4 to get to Mitsuo, who is way tougher than I am! That stupid jerk, turning into a big baby (No, he literally turns into a giant baby who protects himself with a suit of 8-bit armor and casts wind magic on you). So I need to readjust my party and maybe buy a better persona to have a chance against him, because he hits hard.
I also played maybe half an hour of Final Fantasy 3, because I got it for cheap and I haven’t played it. I keep having to tell myself that this isn’t the good Final Fantasy 3, which is actually Final Fantasy 6, but because Nintendo assumed people were stupid, they numbered them all screwy when they were originally released in America. Now that they’ve backpedaled on that, it’s hard to really disengage my mind from assuming Final Fantasy 3 isn’t the one with the espers and the Magitek, in which I named all the characters after my friends and acquaintances in high school, and spent over an hour explaining the plot to a friend one day. I guess when the original experience is that nostalgic and personal, it’s hard to unremember.
But anyway, this game. This game starts you off with practically a cold open; guy falls into cave, sees goblin, kills goblin. He started to wander around with the intent of getting out of the cave, only to find and kill a giant turtle. Once that’s done, he’s told by a crystal that he is super-special and sent back home, with absolutely no idea what that was all about. And…that’s where I stopped. Seriously, there is no storytelling at all going on, but this is probably because all of this wasn’t in the original, so they made it up out of wholecloth for the DS release. You’d think they’d try a little harder.
