I haven’t made it that far into the game yet, so I’d forgotten the distinction.

Specifically, Locke’s adventures in South Figaro were just the best, in spite of the fact I didn’t much care for Locke as a character, even playing the game as a thirteen year old originally. But the splitting of the parties was something I don’t think I had ever encountered before in a game. and the story beats were pretty damned remarkable for a game of this vintage, at least in the console RPG world of the time.

One minor correction: I think it was Osmose that actually allowed you to recover your own MP by draining it from the enemy, if I remember correctly. Rasp just did MP damage to the enemy, I think. (It’s been several years since I went back and played this, when it was first added to Virtual Console, so I could be wrong.)

Really enjoying the series, Mr. Parish. FF6 might still be my favourite game of all time, and I’m having a great time going through it beat by beat with you.

I say that as someone who knows for a fact that the naming blank is one letter too short for the name “Aragorn”, forcing one to go with AraGON, in case one were inclined to rename Edgar in the midst of discovering the Lord of the Rings books right around the time you were playing Final Fantasy 6.

Not that I was, mind you. You’re the nerd here, not me.
