Final Fantasy I: The Final Encounter!

Victory! Khaos has fallen. Balance has been restored and our heroes have triumphed!
Shortly after I wrote the previous entry, we stumbled onto the last level of the final dungeon. Khaos showed up and gave us a long speech about time-travel and such. We sharpened our swords and waited around patiently while he droned on and on. I’m not quite sure of everything he said, as I always get confused with time travel plots in English, forget about Japanese, and we all knew that this was simply a prelude to mixing it up, so we figured listening closely wasn’t all that important. Sure enough, eventually he shut up and we got down to the business of trying to kill each other.
Surprisingly, the final battle was anticlimactic. Within a minute or two, Khaos crumbled like a Jenga tower in a tornado. My first reaction was he spent too much time figuring out how to time-travel and not enough time figuring out how to fight us. But anyway, we were then taken to a final screen where some scrolling text complemented us on our great job and told us that all was right with the world again. Good for us.
Done! Yeah! One game down and um, humm, I don’t even know how many games are in this series. Oh well, one down and more to go!
