Tim Wynn – Squad Loadout
Playing FF made me wanna play XCOM (which is FF with tactical positioning and a strategic layer). Started up XCOM2 last night and, you know how it goes, one of those ‘up at 2pm’ situations. Did about ten missions, only lost two operatives thus far. One was a specialist in a bad position who took a lucky mag round to the face. The other was an anarchist ranger last to the transport while trying to rescue Mox. About to hit the Blacksite. No mag weapons ‘cause no alloys. “That’s XCOM, baby!”

While listening to the aforementioned podcast, I spun up the old NES and played the original Final Fantasy. Enemies engaged included: Wolf, GrWolf, Imp, GrImp, Spider, Ogre, Zombie, Madpony, and a few pirates upon the party’s arrival in a town to the east which required our efforts for its liberation. The party in question, designated “Light Warriors,” consists of: Fighter, Thief, Black Mage, White Mage. Somewhat dubious of the thief’s utility. Perhaps levels will reveal a diamond in the rough.
