Somadude plays FFVI ( day 1)
By Somadude 1 Comments
Alright, day one is a go.
Here's what happened in the world of FFVI today.
- As soon as the game opens we are introduced to two of the shortest lived characters in FF history, Wedge and Biggs. Behind them a greened haired girl named ???????
- Wedge and Biggs talk about a multitude of important and insightful thing's, but the important stuff includes,Espers and the fact that ????? is a cold blooded killer.
- After the credits, the game gives you control of the party and are quickly thrust you into the heat of battle. A few peons and a boss fight later, they find the esper they were looking for.
- Turns out the esper didn't like our friend's Wedge and Biggs and quickly disposes of them, but our mind controlled lady friend lives to tell the tale.
- Sadly upon waking up in a strangers bed, she discovers that she has lost her memory! But luckily she manages to remember her name, Terra.
- The owner of the house tells Terra that soldiers are after her an that she needs to leave through the underground tunnels below the city.
- While looking for a way out, Terra gets cornered by a gang of soldiers, but manages to fall through the floor into the caverns below ( lucky!)
- But it seems that the fall was harder then expected and Terra passes out. The game then go's back to the old mans house and there we are introduced to the theif, pardon me, "treasure hunter" Locke.
- The old man tells Locke about Terra, Locke seems concerned for her and goes off to find her in the tunnels.
- Luckily he does, but the soldiers aren't far behind and with the help a few moogles, Locke manages to save Terra.
- Locke tells Terra that they should head to Figaro castle as soon as possible, and they.... umm... do that.
- Turns out Figaro castleis in the middle of the desert and is ruled by a very charming king named Edgar. Edgar then proceeds to hit on Terra, but to no avail.
- After a bit of exploring you find out that Edgar has a twin brother named Sabin, and that they haven't spoken in years. Upon returning to the throne room Edgar ask's how you like the castle, but is interrupted by one of the guards alerting him to the arrival of someone named Kefka.
- Kefka is looking for Terra, but Edgar isn't going to just hand her over and decides to simply speak with Kefka instead.
- The next morning, Edgar is awoken by the sound of screaming guards and burning castles!
Turns out Kefka was tired of waiting a decided to take matters into his own hand's.
- Edgar decides that now is a great time to get the eff' outta there and tells his counselor to "get her ready"
Kefka thinks he's talking about Terra, when really Edgar was saying " yo get ma ride ready, we bout' to bust."
- They then proceed to run away in the only way suitable, on the back's of chocobo's.
- After a boss fight with a couple of mechs, Edgar tells his men to put the castle in " dive mode" which literally makes the castle dive into the sand!
- On the ride out, Edgar tells Terra about "the returners" a group of rebels that Edgar has been secretly allied with. And that the leader of the group, Banon, can help her understand her unique magical gifts.
So, how do I like it so far?
I like it lot, the game looks nice and there are a couple of cool game play features that the other early ( or later ) FF games didn't/ don't have.
Looking forward to more, also hoping my save files don't get wiped out again.
Stay tuned for tomorrows update.
