More than a year ago, I began playing the original Final Fantasy for iPhone and during the course of the game, I made a series of posts to GetGlue as I accomplished various milestones. I had always intended to flesh them out into a journal of sorts from the point of view of the Light Warriors, but I could never quite get the right inspiration. So, instead, I’ll just leave them here. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

\nThe music for this game just gets better and better with age.<\/p>\n
March 29, 2011 – 14:37Z
\nKnocked down Garland. Pilfered the pirate ship. Now searching for the Dark Elf.<\/p>\n
March 29, 2011 – 23:07Z
\nDark Elf slain. Revived the Elf Prince. Restored Matoya’s sight. Helped a crazy dwarf explode a small part of the continent. Exploring the far side of the world.<\/p>\n
March 30, 2011 – 18:35Z
\nDusted a vampire. Met Sadda the Sage. Buried Lich, the Earth Fiend. Entered the Earthgift Shrine.<\/p>\n
March 30, 2011 – 19:43Z
\nReached the bottom of the Earthgift Shrine. Decimated by Two-Headed Dragon. Seeking easier prey.<\/p>\n
March 31, 2011 – 15:38Z
\nFound the circle of Sages at Crescent Lake. Extinguished Marilith, the Fiend of Fire. Found a Levistone in the Cavern of Ice. Checking want ads for used airship.<\/p>\n
March 31, 2011 – 20:43Z
\nStole an ancient airship. Quested for a rather disgusting token of courage. Blessed by the Dragon King. Ran a number of errands. Going mermaid fishing\u00e2\u20ac\u201dI mean, hunti\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 err, HELPing.<\/p>\n
April 4, 2011 – 19:15Z
\nFileted Kraken, the Fiend of Water. Bought Level 8 magic spells. Leveled everything. Cleared the Earthgift Shrine of a Two-Headed Dragon, Ahriman, Cerberus, and Echidna. Found an ancient tower in the desert. Checking it out.<\/p>\n
April 2, 2011 – 21:20Z
\nStilled Tiamat, the Fiend of Air. Did the “I Restore Light to the Crystals” dance. Checked out the Chaos Shrine. Decided to let the world suffer a bit longer. Journeyed to the bottom of Lifespring Grotto. Died. Going back to saving the world.<\/p>\n
April 3, 2011 – 16:06Z
\nKnocked down Chaos. Saved the world. Restored the Light. Loading old game to finish bonus dungeons.<\/p>\n
April 6, 2011 – 22:54Z
\nDelving deeper and deeper into Whisperwind Cove. Death Manticores flee from battle. Twenty floors to go.<\/p>\n
April 7, 2011 – 15:46Z
\nServed Orthros up as sushi. Ten more floors to go.<\/p>\n
April 7, 2011 – 18:08Z
\nReached the bottom of Whisperwind Cove. Finally. Found the Ultima weapon. Accidentally broke it pulling it from the chest. Returning to Lifespring Grotto, grumbling all the way.<\/p>\n
April 7, 2011 – 20:09Z
\nReturned to Lifespring Grotto. Again. Pulled the power core from Omega. Back to the surface. Shinryu is next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
