Final Fantasy: Lost in Japanese

Humm. This is challenging. We start with Minwu and Gordon, who died in the basic game. I got a bit confused with the Japanese, but I think we are in Jade, or someplace like that. Both characters seem to be neither dead nor alive, in a kind of alternate world. We are teaming up to do something, most likely get out of this place, but I’m not confident about this.When in doubt, start killing stuff, I say, so we’re currently trying to hack our way out of our current location. Only problem is that we are terribly weak compared to some of our enemies. We’ve only got 600 and 700 hit points each. Some of these monsters are hitting for 400 or so, and there are often 4 or more of them. We’re getting hammered in here in every fourth of fifth combat, and I’m not sure that there is much I can about it at this point.

So far, this is hardly fun. The crazy thing is that some of the enemies are ridiculously weak, then the next are brutally overpowering. The balance is all over the place. We’ll see how things play out with this one. I will need supplies or reinforcements soon, as we start with almost no potions and we’re burning through them quickly.
