The Dark Cloud is defeated

Beaten Final Fantasy 3

Comments (4)

Conquered one of the finest RPGs that ever were on the Famicom, Final Fantasy 3 was a joy to play from start to finish, even though the final section was pretty much frustrating, all that grinding needed just to survive the Dark Cloud's attacks which would take a huge chunk of hit points with each turn. After a few well placed shuriken shots, two mages summoning Bahamut each, and Elixirs to keep them alive ong enough I was able to defeat her. The ending was also enjoyable, I noticed parallels with FFIV's ending, including the starry The End logo at the end which would go on forever until you turned the game off.

In short I am happy to complete another FF title. I am still trying to have V and VI done.

You're better off having those Sages use Curaga. Congrats on the victory!

Thank you! And it was pretty engaging, that nasty Dark Cloud had so much power that al lI could think of is just depleting my Elixir stash ha ha!

Oh yeah, that final fight was exhilarating. I remember getting really nervous because my healers couldn't quite keep up with her damage, so towards the end it was one of those "if she doesn't die in a turn or two, I'm screwed!" situations where it's less "I killed the boss!!!" and more "Phew! I outlasted that one."
