I swear, I have an okay sense of direction in real life, but when you put me in front of a video game, I can't figure out where anything is :') It doesn't help that Breath of Fire III maps can look kinda samey. Or that they have too many dead ends... I'm just making excuses, it's mostly me XD
And yes, I'm very happy I stocked up on items before getting through Factory. I've seen so many places where people call the Desert of Death one of the worst things in a turn-based RPG, and having a bunch of healing items on hand so I can save AP for abilities sounds like a good idea. Having to run back through the much-too-long Factory to get back to a town for healing and stuff just seems cruel, but this is what Capcom chose to do to us :')
