Final Fantasy I - Go West, Young Warriors

Part of the series: The First Step: Final Fantasy I

Future Plans

Heading out of town and towards the world map, it seems the continent branches into a pointy triangular section, and more of a taper - each of which has areas to explore. I'm thinking maybe we try for the triangle first as it's a bit closer.

But that's a journey for another session, because it's getting around time to start getting ready for work here. The weekend'll soon be here though, so I'm sure we'll make great strides then. Making a real difference to the people of Melmond, rather than just the royalty.

And probably meet some tougher enemies along the way - those armlets will get their true test.

Melmond Awaits

Thanks for reading.

If something in this piece resonated, or you just want to say hello, I'd love to hear from you.
