Final Fantasy II: The Mythril That (Nearly) Filtered Me - Amethyst Reverie
Imagine you are me, playing this game where I was tasked to retrieve this random item called "mythril" from a cave. Yeah, sure, why not? Absolutely simple affair. Real shame about the imperial soldier...

Rather than sit around aimlessly tonight, I decided on a whim to tell the tale of my first time playing Final Fantasy II, as well as my first encounter with mythriI. I hope you enjoy.

It may be a sign of my age but I remember a time when the Internet was designed so there wasn't a singular point of failure which took out half the Internet.

It’s a shame English game history is so warped and focused around one very NA centric narrative.
Was never underrated or overlooked for me. Nice to read a success and legacy that reflects how I remember it. Albeit I’m a little young but it was still rocking well into the 90s next to mega drive.

Hi I wrote about the Sega Master System and how it’s been criminally overlooked because everyone goes on about the NES like it was the only 8bit console in the world look don’t get me started

On today’s date in 1992, two levels and a boss fight were released on game gear.
I heard rumours there was more game after this but I could never confirm it

So I finished up Katamari Damacy last night on stream and, while i'm sure it doesn't really need to be said, that game is just so wonderful
It's staggering how well realised its core concept is in the very first game of its kind! Just an ingenous level of creativity and efficiency 💙
