I MADE IT TO KEFKA! Here's what happened:



That's all for now.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:



That's all for now.

Give one of your heaviest hitters the Offering. You also missed at least 2 Genji Gloves in chests (IIRC there's one in Umaro's cave). Pairing that up with the Offering annihilates enemies.

Also give Earrings to your magic users.

As for dealing with Pearl Wind, make sure to hit the caster of it as hard as you can. Even if it continues to recover HP, it will eventually run out of MP so be sure to outlast it either way.

Time for both another progress report and a clairification. Here's what happened:


That's all for now.

The game is beatable at level 40, so your levels are fine.

Life 3 is your friend against instant death attacks. Safety Bits and Relm's Memento Ring also protect against instant death attacks.

It's generally good strategy to have at least one person devoted solely to healing/reviving while the others all attack or provide healing support if needed.

Also, give that Offering to Sabin (only if you are using Sabin's attack command most of the time and not his Blitz's). If you are using Sabin's Blitz's every turn, then put the Offering on one of your other characters with high attack power, (Edgar, Cyan, Locke, Terra, Celes) as it will allow them to use normal attacks four times per turn, effectively quadrupling their normal damage.

If you had managed to get any of the Genji Gloves in the game, combining that with the Offering is a super overpowered combination, as it allows a character to attack 8 times every turn.

A cheap way around it is to give a character with Ultima the Gem Box relic and dual cast Ultima and then just pass your turn to Gogo and mime it for free until everything dies. Heal as needed, re-cast with the Gem Box character, and continue miming.

Time for another progress report. Here's what happened:



That's all for now.

He will always use that attack first thing. If you have a Megalixir, that counters it right away. Otherwise have someone ready to cast Cure3.

After that, the final boss is a joke even if you aren't equipped to one-shot him.

I DID IT! I FINALLY BEAT THE GAME! Here's what happened:



Okay, so now that I beat the game, coming up will be my overall reaction of this game. In the meantime, if you haven't voted for the third installment in my "GoldGlee Plays..." series, make sure you do so. Poll closes on 11/16/14.

Congrats on beating the game. Do you still plan to LP it next year?

You know it.

That will be an interesting one to co-commentate on.

Okay, everyone. Time for my overall reaction to this game.

So compared to Mario RPG and Chrono Trigger, I found this to be a rather interesting challenge. Basically this is one game that left me guessing as to where to go because I don't remember seeing any hints in the dialogue about that. And for those who were able to navigate your way through the game without the help of a map or walkthrough, I applaud you for that.

One thing I liked about this game a lot was the chocobo rides. If only we could ride them for the entire game. That'd be something.

Another interesting tactic was the fact that you don't see random battles coming before you enter them. So basically, a random battle could happen ANYTIME. Up until the end of the game, I wasn't really concerned about being underlevel for a battle. Hopefully, when I LP the game, being underlevel will not become a concern.

Now my final thoughts: If I was to rate this game on a scale of 1-10, I'd probably give it an 8. It had a great storyline, a great cast of characters, and a whole bunch of other great stuff as well.

Be on the lookout for my upcoming LP of this game which starts January 1, 2015!

What a riveting playthrough.
