8-year Partnership Anniversary Special!

Bid war status:

Last month was the 8-year anniversary of my subscriber button (8.5 years since partner!), but that was not a good month for fun things so we’re going to do our special streams this month instead

The Final Fantasy pixel remasters came out very recently and I love FF games so we’re going to focus primarily on those for this event. The plan is to play through FF1 and FF2j PR during this week and a half and start FF3j after that, and my goal is to get every achievement for each on Steam. Since I have played FF1 quite a bit, I’ll be adding a loose no-death restriction to it (more accurately, I’ll require that every character survives every successful battle). Because this version seems to be more forgiving and has auto-saves, it should be fine. That’s the way I used to play it on NES as a kid, but I bailed out of attempting it during my most recent playthrough on stream. I played FF2j on GBA for about 30 minutes, and I played FF3jDS for a few dungeons but didn’t continue. Those playthroughs will be almost entirely blind.

During this entire event, any tip or bit can be applied to a name for the next game, and on certain days they can also be applied to choice of class for the FF1 playthrough. Since I want to allow duplicate classes for that, each character’s class will have a corresponding dedicated day.

To give time for naming bids for FF2j, I’ll begin this event with two days of revisiting some old PJ classics. That lineup is very likely to change based on my mood and requests.

Schedule

The schedule, and the year being represented on each day, is as follows:
