Grabbed by the b…!

It’s all handheld gaming lately and it’s all about Final Fantasy Tactics on the PSP. I am 34 hours into the game and I can really see this going to 100 hours and more. On Sunday as I was playing one battle I realised that my main character, Zolos (of course) was not particularly strong and that I have been progressing through the story mode due to the strength of the rest of the team.

An hour later and after a couple of battles where you have to save in between but cannot access the world map (and hence shop or do levelling up with random battles) I reached a battle where Zolos had to fight one on one against a far superior enemy. Zolos had HP of 271 while the enemy cause 140HP with every strike. It was ugly. 2 rounds and died. Tried again and again changing jobs and abilities but at not avail. After 2-3 rounds I kept dropping dead.

Back to the drawing board or should I say random battles for some levelling up and some thinking of what job/abilities to use. This game has really grabbed me by the b…. and it won’t let go.

It is a mixture of pain with pleasure.

Did you have a similar masochistic experience with game?
