Let's Play Final Fantasy I Ep6 The Cavern of Earth and The Star Ruby
Welcome to the Preacher Plays "Late to the Game" Final Fantasy. This is the Pixel Remaster series, which according to Square Enix themselves is meant to be "The original FINAL FANTASY games are brought to life with completely new graphics and audio in the 2D pixel remaster series."
This is a "late to the game" (Mostly) Blind playthrough of a game that is new to me, but old to you. Released over 35 years ago this final attempt by Square - now Square Enix - to create a Fantasy Role Playing Video Game ended up creating a series of games that crossed oceans, playstyles, and (as I count it, 33!) platforms. With a fanbase like no other.
Final Fantasy Truly is a game that is old to you and very new to me.
After Watching @BlueLizardJello play the Final Fantasy XVI demo (https://youtu.be/UMJIYRuO1gQ, https://youtu.be/bl4tfHHzWkw) I was inspired. The modern graphics looked amazing, but I do not have a PS5 so I can't jump in to FF16 right now, but I also have a completionists heart. Starting out with a double digit game seemed wrong to my brain so, a few brief searches later and I discovered the "brand new" pixel remasters of the first several Final Fantasy Games.
I've never played any of them. In fact when the first one came out in 1987 (it didn't come to America till 1990) I was a teenager working 40-60 hours a week on top of going to school. Dating my girlfriend, and not long after getting married. She's sitting in the chair behind me as I play. I'm no longer a teenager, and she's still the love of my life.
So, while I wait for FF16 to make it to PC and eventually go on sale cheap on Steam, I thought I'd start the series out. Maybe, just maybe I'll finish them all... if I can make it past the first one.
Join me, The Preacher, as I delve into what appears to me to be one of the most expansive video game series created: Final Fantasy.
Along the way I had a few minimum research sources to figure out if I even wanted to try this. Turns out... I do.
