Yes, the very first Final Fantasy. Remixed so us twenty-first century types don’t recoil in horror when we see it and shoved into a handy cartridge that we can play on the move.

I’ve set up a party.

Introducing -

George – Warrior
Beans – Thief
Floss – White Mage
Arnold – Black Mage

All named after family cats, trivia fans.

So far I’ve just talked to a few people, spent all my starting money in the shops and wandered out into the surrounding lands. Three fights against goblins later and I’ve levelled up and run back to town to rest.

Oh, and after playing on my previously much loved GBA SP for a while, I’ve cancelled a load of game and DVD pre-orders and ordered a Game Boy Micro instead. But I’ve ordered a UK one, because it’s going to work out cheaper, especially as if I bought a foreign one I’d still have to buy a UK charger. The trouble is, the UK gets shit colours. If I ordered now I could get a lovely Famicom one or an acceptable black one. The UK ones are horrible silver, evil pink, puke green and eye-hatred blue. I ordered a green one in the end. I don’t know why. I also ordered from Amazon, which may turn out to be a mistake. We’ll see.
