Finale Fantasie Trois!
Okay, my junior recital is over, so now I can concentrate on the important things in life again: namely, playing video games, and writing about playing videogames on the interweb. So that brings us to Final Fantasy 3, a cute little game that takes the most boring parts of FF1 and FF5 and somehow crafts a rather enjoyable little lovechild out of them.
Don't you love that device of having the heroes be orphans? So far, we have not had a permanent playable character that was NOT an orphan, believe it or not. This way, Square doesn't have to waste pixels on peoples' moms and dads, or even on lines describing what each character is like. 
But we shouldn't judge. This game is from a simpler time, when pixellated men were real pixellated men, women were real pixellated women, and things are exactly as the game describes them to you. Like this girl! She's a dancer!
Or this little red blob! It's a campfire!
Or this unpassable space. It's an invisible wall!
You get the picture. Anyway, I have complete faith that the final boss is going to be some sort of dark lord that has somehow tried to steal the power of the Crystals for his own, or to otherwise destroy said Crystals. I am pretty sure that whatever church exists in this world is only going to resurrect my guys when they die, and isn't actually the supreme evil in the universe.
Oh well. I'm sure I'll manage to get through it anyway.
