I’m back. Life is under control again.

I’ll make a new post shortly, and hope to continue daily for the near future.

Well, so far so good. I’ve been busy, but I’ve been able to keep playing and keep posting. I’m feeling like I’m getting closer to the end of Final Fantasy IV, and I’m itching to start Final Fantasy V.

However, I know that I won’t be able to play or post starting early next week and continuing for a bit more than one week. I also likely won’t have access to the internet during that time, so I won’t be able to reply to comments either.

This weekend, I’m going to try and play ahead a bit and stack up some posts that I’ll release while I’m gone. I don’t think I’ll be able to make a daily post during that time. I’m hoping for one post every three days or so for about nine days. I’ll reply to all comments when I resume daily posting, which I’m hoping will be around February 6 or 7.

I will however, be making daily posts and replying to comments through Sunday.

Vacation is over and life has gotten uber-busy in the span of 24 hours. I’m not confident how consistent I’ll be able to post in January, but for the time being I’m going to keep trying to make daily posts and keep playing Final Fantasy IV. I’m pretty sure I’ll miss some days, but I’ll do my best.

It’s been great to be back these past couple of weeks, though. It’s reminded me how much fun this project has been for me. I’d also like to thank everyone that’s been posting comments. The discussion on the games has made the project much more enjoyable. I started as a complete newbie to Final Fantasy (and I pretty much still am a newbie), but it’s been great to learn about the games from all of you.

Golbez or Bust!

It’s been about three weeks since I last played Final Fantasy IV and last posted here. When I made that last post, about the Tower of Zot, I was actually a couple of hours beyond that in the game. I took notes about those two hours of play, but some of the details are sketchy. Over the next few days, I’ll be fleshing out those notes and putting them up as posts, but if you see something that seems goofy, please feel free to tell me. In many ways I’ll be working from memory here. When I do that, I tend to omit some things.

Anyway, my life has settled down again to the point that I think I’ll be able to resume regular posting. For the next eight months or so, my work looks to be insanely busy, so I’m not sure if I’ll be able to keep going at the daily pace I was able to sustain over the summer. Still, I want to keep going, and am going to try to make at least three posts a week. With luck, I’ll be able to make more, but for now, I’m aiming for a Monday/Wednesday/Friday posting schedule, and making random posts on the other days when possible.

On another note, I believe I’ve replied to everyone’s comments. If I’ve missed a question or a comment, please let me know.

I’ll start on that Mon/Wed/Fri schedule with a post tomorrow that picks up the game where I left off.

I’m sorry about the sudden disappearance. Work suddenly went brutally crazy for a couple of weeks, and it involved a ton of writing. I needed a few days to decompress after that.

I’m aiming to resume tomorrow. I’ll reply to any comments from the past couple of weeks, and hope to make a new post from Final Fantasy IV as well.
