When I restarted the page here at the beginning of the year, I thought it was cool to have the old Final Fantasy:CC shrine online just as it was back when the page vanished in 2007.
But I realized that the pages were hardly readable on mobile phones, and that there was not so much content here anyway.
So I decided to remove the link to the shrine from the coverage page and instead recreate the only true additional info the shrine hosted - "Changes in development".
So the link to the page is gone (albeit not completely) and you can enjoy reading the changelog now from all platforms.
In my last update, I wrote that I finished Octopath Traveler. It turns out that this was not true since there is another bonus dungeon at the end where can conclude a story that involves all characters once you met certain conditions in the subquests of the game.
When I entered the dungeon, I quickly realized that I'll never be able to finish this bonus story.
In this story, you have to fight eight bosses that you fought during the game, in a slightly stronger form and then the final bonus boss.
This sounds interesting, but for whatever reason, the developers thought it was funny to not include a save point there, so you have to fight all bosses and if you mess up at the final boss, you have to fight all eight again.
That's a real pity, because that's lots of buildup for the final boss you have to repeat every time you mess up.
So yeah, no true complete playthrough for me.
