I was raised on Final Fantasy. It was the game series my father played all throughout my childhood, and the very first game I ever got my paws on when I was old enough to have my own Playstation 2. I can remember it, too -- I got Final Fantasy X along with my PS2 the Christmas after the game came out. I started playing backwards from there, first with VII and then VIII, and so on. When I saw that III was on sale on Steam a few months ago, I jumped at the chance to play one of the original games that launched the franchise that I'd grown up loving.

So, I was a little disappointed to find the story more than a little simplistic, and the world a little flat compared to the complexities I'd grown used to from the later games. I still had fun with it, still loved it, and still enjoyed the game mechanics, but at the same time, I realized I was enjoying making fun of the game as much as I was enjoying having fun actually playing it.

Thus, this was born! I tapped this out in about 3 sittings over the course of two days, fueled and inspired by all the cheesy Fantasy tropes I kept finding in early RPGs and old school Men's Adventure novels. If anything, I certainly learned how 1950's authors were able to pump out as many stories as they did.

Enjoy!
