Backlog Conquering - Final Fantasy On PSP - Part 17 - The Final Part


Welcome to Backlog Conquering. This is a series were i play a game from my backlog that i may or may not have played before. the goal isn't necessarily to finish the game, the goal is to play it. that way, i can have an opinion about it. The newest game in the Backlog Conquering series is the PlayStation Portable version of Final Fantasy. this is the downloaded version of the game, but it is also available on UMD. To help with this playthrough i'm proudly using a guide from GameFAQS. here's the link, https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/psp/937909-final-fantasy/faqs/55625. i'm not following it exactly, but it's useful to have. 

I was right, Part 17 was the final part in my playthrough. as i guessed, we had two more bosses to fight again before we battled the final boss. Garland was the most difficult boss character to fight in the game. i didn't know that he could heal himself and it was demoralising when he did it, effectively going back to full health. more than once i came close to loosing my team. in the end, Sara ended up being my only character to not die during this playthrough.

After the credits i checked out some of the extras. it's clear that there are plenty more enemies left to find in the game. the concept art was nice but because of the PSP screen resolution zooming in on it wasn't that nice. what i did enjoy was the music player. i played a little of all the tracks in the game and i was surprised to see some tracks from other Final Fantasy games, too!
