Final Fantasy Marathon: Levigrass Shoes – Final Fantasy III #10

We rejoin the four Warriors of Light as they find their title contested: it seems that four eccentric old men also claim they are the warriors of legend!

Final Fantasy Marathon: A New Adventure – Final Fantasy III #1

Final Fantasy Marathon: TPKO #1 – Final Fantasy I #4

Oh dear. It had to happen sooner or later, didn’t it? And Final Fantasy veterans will be unsurprised to hear that it happened in the Marsh Cave.

Sometimes bad things happen. But we can learn from them and try again…
