When I stopped playing last time, I had just left the floating tree and rescued the soldiers of Argass. Next stop: Canaan!
Well, seems like I'm still missing something. So maybe I should pay a visit to Argass Castle and talk to all the soldiers I rescued.
There, that's better. It's always so nice of them that they readily hand over their family heirloom.
And here it is: The original Midgar moment. That tiny island is the Floating Continent is was playing on up until now.
And this is the island I had to find. Took me quite some time flying around to find it.
You have to use an antidote on her, which didn't seem that obvious to me. I just pass it off as "bad translation". I was so ready to traverse another dungeon to find some very rare flower only growing right behind that super strong dragon and stuff.
After another bit of randomly flying around, I arrived at the Water Temple. No real crystal here, though.
On to Water Cave, which is conveniently located right behind the temple. As always my companion's killed right away.
Kraken looks a bit boring in this game. The fight's pretty straightforward, my only problem was that I forgot to heal my party before the fight.
New jobs! Time for a career change. It's seems kind of strange that she is just "giving" them to me, I wonder how that works. I changed my Monk to Karateka and kept everyone else's job.
After a big earthquake, all the sunken continents resurface (as if nothing ever happened).
My party awakes in the town of Amur. There are some very strange people here.
And people like to dance. You have to imagine this scene to be more like the bar scene in the opening of the Lord of the Rings. Also, I get a hint for an upcoming boss fight. Sounds like an easy fight.
But before I can get to him I have to take a detour through the sewers, because apparantly someone lives there.
On my way I have to rescue this group of strange men I saw before. They think of themselves as the actual four legendary heroes, they seem to be on a low-level run, though, so I helped them out with this vicious group of goblins.
And finally I found Master Splinter. He seems easy to convince, so with my new Floating Shoes I can finally be on my way to that boss (Goldur, who actually chained my ship to the dock, that bastard).
Goldur sure loves shiny things, I'm gonna kill him anyway, so I might just as well steal all his treasure. Good thing, it's all expensive stuff.
Yup, easy fight. Magic's pretty much worthless, though. My Black Mage dealt more damage with his physical attacks than with his magic. He will surely fondly remember this fight.
So, now that I have my ship back, it's time for a break.
