A few days ago I pointed out just how easy it is to exploit Final Fantasy 2's stat system, and while it is true that the first half of the game is a breeze if you cheat, it is also becoming clear that the game will balance things out. By any means necessary.
I just acquired the ship, (this FF has random battles while you sail too, an RPG crime) and it has come to my attention that Mysidia is available to visit at this time, if you're willing to brave the tough monsters that surround it.
This is a cockatrice, a famous monster from the FF series, (you may remember stealing a mother Cockatrice's eggs on the tracks leading to North Corel in FF7). These assholes are extremely deadly in FF2. They travel in packs of 6 around Mysidia, and have such high agility that they WILL strike first, regardless of how diligently you've power leveled. Cockatrices petrify you with a successful hit, so literally,the fight begins, they all move first, and it's instant game over. There is no equipment whatsoever available to me at this point in the game that protects me against petrify, and Esuna is reactive, not proactive. This is a very cheap ass game over.
There's also the world map. Look, I made a video about it!
