Since I got the plat trophy for FFXIII-2 on Sunday I haven't really played anything so I decided to start playing through FF games after reading this thread. I won't play them all though, my plans:
I recently beat I for the first time so that's too fresh on my mind which is why I won't play it. II will be my first time. III I shall replay, first time was DS version. IV I recently beat for the third time on the CC version which is why I won't play it either, however I took a lot of screenshots when playing it so I might make a little log for it here. V I played somewhat recently for the FFVFJF, so I shall wait for this year's FJF (there will be one right?) to replay it. VI will be my first time. VII I *might* replay. VIII I will definitely replay and do a low level run. IX I'll replay simply because it's my favorite. X I shall wait for remaster. XII I recently replayed. XIII I recently replayed too. And XI and XIV don't count.
So, tl;dr version:
-Finish FF II for the first time.
-Replay FFIII but this time on iOS.
-Replay FFV when FJF hits.
-Finish FF VI for the first time.
-Replay FFVIII and do a low level run.
-Just replay FFIX since I love it.
I might also sneak in a spinoff or two.
(I'm basically doing this to remember what I want to do since I know I'll forget eventually/want to quit)
...
Actually I'll just start posting my FFIV log now.
-------------------
Our journey begins with Cecil reluctantly murdering poor mages to get their crystal. Oh, the evil in him!
After a surprise monster assault en route to Baron, Cecil enters the castle to hand over the stolen crystal, but haunted by the evils he has done he questions King Baron, who demotes him...
His best friend Kain appeals to the king but to no avail.
They are then tasked with delivering a mysterious package to nearby summoner village Mist, but not before hearing counsel from his romantic interest, Rosa.
After the night comes and goes, Cecil's epic quest to destroy a village, get more crystals and overcome his inner evils begins!
During the day on their way to Mist, Cecil and Kain pass through the Mist Cave, little did they know it'd be protected by an ancient dragon summoned by one of the villagers, the Mist Dragon, who despite warning them about going to Mist, isn't heard and ends up being killed, along with the one who summoned him/her unbeknownst to Cecil and company.
On arrival to Mist, the mysterious package explodes because it was, well, a bomb. Maybe bombs is more correct.
This coupled with the murder of the summoner of the Mist Dragon, who turns out to be the mother of a mysterious green haired girl named Rydia make her quiver with anger, thus summoning Titan causing a huge earthquake and the separation of Cecil and Kain...
Cecil eventually becomes awake, only to find Rydia beside him. He takes her to a nearby town in the middle of the desert, where they spend the night... mostly, since they're attacked by Baron soldiers in the middle of it. After leaving the inn, Cecil learns Rosa has been struck with a seemingly incurable fever, to which he tries to find an antidote for.
On their quest to find it they come across sage Tellah, who's searching for his daughter Anna who has left to be with her lover, Edward, prince of Damcyan and (spoony) bard, with extreme animosity. They decide to help him.
After defeating a strange octopus of some sort they reach Damcyan...
Only to witness it being bombed to bits by the Baron army, who in a mad attempt at stealing Damcyan's crystal decide to destroy everything (and succeed at it). During the bombings Anna gets killed unfortunately.
After a confrontation between Tellah and Edward, Tellah decides to leave the party to get revenge on those who caused his daughter's death, while Edward joins the party and helps finding a cure for Rosa. After curing Rosa, during the night Edward has a revelation from Anna.
Eventually they all decide to go to Mt. Hobs where they meet Yang, a monk from Fabul.
They eventually too decide to go to Fabul, only to have Baron's army including the evil Golbez and a brainwashed Kain, come, destroy everything and steal Fabul's crystal. They also kidnap Rosa. Afterwards Cecil and company decide they must rescue Rosa and find out just what is going on with Baron and all, so they take a ship, but are attacked by Leviathan mid way.
Which results with everyone getting separated, and Rydia and Yang presumably dead.
What will happen to Cecil and his unlikely band of heroes?
Find out on my next post whenever I post it
