Day 5: Final Fantasy I

Thursday I didn't play at all and Friday I hung out with friends. I played a ton today. I got the fire AND the water crystal today, go me! A lot of people say this game is kind of drab and uninspired but all things considered, it's not so bad. My new biggest complaint is that there is a random encounter every 5 goddamn steps. The random encounter transition doesn't help either, it's very pompous. The screen freezes and makes kind of an erupting sound effect, and the loading time is just enough to be annoying, but not enough to actually say that it's bad. Hopefully can beat it tomorrow, I'm already slightly behind schedule.

  1. It was pretty far out for its time, actually.

    But random encounters were just kind of expected. We didn't even question them back then. In Japan, I heard a lot of the new FF games have really, really high encounter rates that they slow down here.

    Maybe it's a cultural thing?
