Final Fantasy Dimensions: A Half-Assed Playthrough

[auronlu]

I have unfinished FFVII and FFX Let's Plays, I haven't gotten to Lightning Returns, I was wasting time playing Kingdom Hearts for the first time, and I've fallen hopelessly behind in Final Fantasy fan discussions and game commentary on moogle_university . My FFX novella is languishing with the last five chapters in a messy and forgotten state.

What a PERFECT time to start a new game playthrough! 



Zencribnotes on Tumblr inspired me to try Final Fantasy Dimensions again. It's an iPad/Android native Final Fantasy game that came out in 2010.  When I last tackled it, I couldn't fully appreciate how much it was a homage to the early FFs. Now, by golly, I'm going to play Final Fantasy Nostalgia Bingo, because that's the main virtue of this game.

Hee hee. That made me wonder what IS Latin for "waffles" but I don't suppose the Romans had them, so there probably isn't a near translation.

I hope the plot and characters improve; so far neither seems all that interesting. The characters all seem pretty generic and I'm getting kind of bored with the "light vs dark crystals" story, Final Fantasy. (I say as I play Pokemon, a series which has not changed in any significant way since its inception, so I am a hypocrite. But then I don't play Pokemon games for their memorable story, characters, or worldbuilding, and I DO play Final Fantasy games for all those things.)

I was curious about this game though, so thanks for playing it so we can see what it's like!
