Good evening, and welcome to this blog version of a Let's Play for Final Fantasy XII. Joe and I get together a few times each month to play our favorite games, usually including a game from the Final Fantasy series. Tonight we continue our trek through Final Fantasy XII (FFXII). Last game session we completed a few Hunts and traveled through Nalbina Fortress and the Mosphorane Highwaste. We just make it into the beginning of The Salikawood. Tonight we will explore what The Salikawood has to offer; rare monsters and good chests alike. In the first section, we run into these little pumpkin creatures and are sleeping half the time you find them. They make a nice chain if you can keep them respawning. From treasure chests, we pick up a Gokuu Pole and Chaos Mace. Moving on to the west a bit, we pickup a Rose Corsage, and start our looking for our first rare mob; the Spee. This is a tricky one, because it is invisible... like a ghost that is barely there. We zoned in a...

Good evening, and welcome to this blog version of a Let's Play for Final Fantasy XII. Joe and I get together a few times a month to play our favorite games, usually including a game from the Final Fantasy series. The game of choice lately has been Final Fantasy XII (FFXII). Last game session we explored the Stillshrine of Mariam. It was a fun dungeon with secret rooms, puzzles, and fun battles. We finished up the night with 6 new Hunts. Joe and I agree right away that we are going to kick off tonight sessions by looking into a few of these Hunts. Hunts In FFXII there are special quests called Hunts. These are typically picked up at either the Notice Boards posted in most restaurants/bars or from the leader of the Clan Hall, Montblanc. A Hunt is what it sounds like, a quest to hunt down a monster and kill it.  The pro c ess is: Pick up the Hunt from the Notice Board or Montblanc.  Locate and the Petitioner and Accept the Hunt This is the person that...

Good evening, and welcome to this blog version of a Let's Play for Final Fantasy XII. Joe and I get together about once a week to play our favorite games, usually including a game from the Final Fantasy series, since they have at least a few games. The game of choice lately has been FFXII. Tonight is our 12th session for Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age for the PlayStation 4. Last week we explored an optional area called The Feywood. We also finished up a few monster hunts that we had on our list for a while.  Tonight we are going to continue the main story, and navigate the maze at Stilshrine of Miriam. I took a fair bit of pictures from our gaming session, and here's a collage of them I put together. Now before you get too excited about exploring a new area, we do have to make a pitstop at Paramin Rift. See, there's this pesky little monster there called the Trickster that killed us not once, but twice! It's time for it to go down! Knowing that we were c...

Good evening readers! The team over at Xbox has started a new program to further engage with their customers called Inside Xbox. Their inaugural broadcast was on March 10th and tonight is episode 2. I watched this live on by Xbox One Mixer, and now I will relay all the tasty details here. Coming Up ... Teasing at a backward compatibility update, they instead roll into an overview of what is in store for us tonight! Xbox Backwards Compatibility Bill Stillwell takes the stage and announces new original Xbox games that will be available to play on Xbox One in April. These games are actually improved automatically when they are played on Xbox One; smother framerates, increased resolution, just a fuller experience with the realization of the assets originally used. The list comes up on the screen with two; The Elder Scrolls II: Morrowind, and Breakdown. Both awesome games. But then the screen zooms out a little from those 2 games, and now there ar...
