For the month of June I decided to put together a pair of fairly simple projects—ones that didn't require a lot of structural rebuilding or modifications. Gives me more time to work on that obstacle course of a backyard, don't you know. (I think I'm going to need to rent a steam shovel or something to get that clothesline post dug out.) Anyway, the game features a couple of reptillian baddies, the Aligator and the Crocdile (yes, I know how to spell, thank you), both of whom dwell exclusively in the underground watery passages beneath the castles and towns our heroes call home. In other words, yes, Final Fantasy IV has alligators in the sewers. Next month I may attempt something more ambitious. It's hard to say. As I've said before, I don't like to necessarily lock myself down and promise specific projects here, because a rigid schedule tends to stifle the creative process. But I can promise you with certainty that I will either a) unveil a new Final Fantasy IV monster here in about one month's time, or b) I won't. It's definitely going to be one of those or the other.

This month's set of three projects required a lot of work, no fewer than nine separate toys, and of course some good old-fashioned ingenuity in order to figure out how to combine them all together. There is a small group of monsters from Final Fantasy IV who will actually call forth other monsters to battle on their behalf. It's great if you're in the mood to grind for experience points, I suppose, but a bit annoying when you're just trying to get through the dungeon before you run out of Cure potions. These guys are the Conjurer, the Marion, and the Sorcerer. Honestly, the biggest problem I had was trying to figure out a good way to attach their little bird buddies to their backs! Not sure what next month's project is going to be yet. As I've said, I try not to lock myself into a specific schedule with these things because I don't want to hinder the creative process. |
