all i have to say is ... you are a evil brilliant man

I was dissapointed. "They went to Gorgu and saw stuff." What ever happened to making it so painfully long that one would want to kill Brian for the deliberate wasting of time? I'm sorry, but that was not fun to read.

I liked the Voltron reference. When I read that I actually laughed outloud and that is rare for me.

I also was disappointed with the speed at which they reached Gurgu Volcano...whatever happened to Crescent Lake? The Circle of Sages? The Canoe?

Oh well its only loosely based on the original FF anyway. Still that Voltron reference was priceless.

The word is Prontera.

I think.

...

That was both cruel and unusual.

Job well done!

Aha. So the Fire Orb is RM's. I sense a pattern.

A wizard did it.

Either that or Brian is now going to give us flashback after flashback without showing us whatever the hell the light warriors are balking at, thus further torturing our poor souls.

Could it be the lost art of suspense may actually have been rediscovered. Of course Brian has stepped in it now. If what ever happens next isn't right up there with his best work or the effect is going to be at least twice as bad.

What am I saying? Brian being the literary master he is had the next step planned before he did this. Either that or he is just good enough to pull it off.

This isn't the first time Brian has hit the fast-forward button. Has everyone already forgotten this?

Sure, Brian COULD have made the travels to the volcano long and drawn out, but, then again, Brian always has a knack for mixing things up, to keep things fresh and interesting. You can only have so many long treks in a row before it stagnates, you know.

As for the other things, remember, Brian is using the storyline of Final Fantasy 1 as a very loose guideline. As for the Cricle of Sages... That has been replaced by the Sage Sarda at the Circle Cave. Or am I the only one who has realized this?

Please do not fret if Brian's story differs from FF1. For, if it stayed on course, would we have the Drizz'l, or the widespread destruction over Dwarf land? I think not.

Than again, if he didn't live up to the expectations that he's set up, that would be called an anti-climax, which, once again, isn't the first time Brian has done such a thing. So, really, we have no idea what he's gonna do next!

But my money's on the anti-climax.

And, one final edit: Always remember, this is Brian's comic, and he may just see fit to have the joke of the comic actually be on us.
