Reunited with Boko, you quickly find yourself on the Overworld Map again. Make sure to grab it these babies sell for 500 Gil and have the power to revive fallen party members. There's a little side-objective for Bartz too, by the way: see that gigantic dark all-concealing tree in the lower-right corner? There's a hidden passageway towards a Phoenix Down. Would you like a chocolate-covered pretzel? He lets 'em go, and the young girl and old man depart for a lifetime of adventure. Neither of them seems to have any business there, but Bartz has only just met them so has no reason to stop them. Now that everybody has regained his wits, both the young girl and the old man tell Bartz they need to go to the Wind Shrine, home of the Wind Crystal. I'm sure we won't have to listen to this guy's slowly unraveling and undoubtedly tragic past throughout the rest of the game! The old man's name is Galuf. The old man wakes up when you talk to him, but acts rather confused. It doesn't take a certificate from detective school to find somebody lying next to the meteorite. Even if you decide to leave with Lenna and tour the Overworld Map some more, there's no reason to do so. Before the story gets too interesting, however, there's also moaning.
The good man went to check out the mythical Wind Crystal since it doesn't appear to do a whole lot lately, he's nowhere to be seen, and now there are meteorites. Unknown to Bartz, the girl he has just saved is Lenna Charlotte Tycoon, princess of Tycoon and (gasp) daughter to Alexander Highwind Tycoon who is (gasp again) King Tycoon. I'll just call him Bartz, but if you're the sort of person who takes an interest in the age-old Butz/Bartz enigma, be my guest. There's a chance to give Bartz a name now. Like the chivalrous young hero protagonist that he is, Bartz rescues the girl and calms her down. Use !Attack to win! I guess I could note that the left Goblin is in the Back Row, but since even with the damage reduction he'll go down in one hit, it's not really important. Contrary to what you'd have them do, the Goblins will punch you in the face when you let them luckily, they are no trouble whatsoever. The Goblins are a nuisance and you want them to die. There's a Broadsword in Bartz's right hand, and it was designed to kill things. This is your first battle, and your options are limited. Obviously that has nothing to do with the meteorite itself, but, but. The first thing noticeable about the meteorite is the fact an unconscious girl is being taken away by two goblins. When you approach the Big Rock of Falling Fire, Bartz will hop off Boko to ensure his safety and carry on by foot. When you reach the meteorite to the east, you'll dive right into the Tycoon Meteor. You could go north, but there's nothing interesting there. Welcome to controlling Boko on the Overworld.
Quickly putting out the campfire (remember, only you etc.), Bartz races to the scene. He quickly discusses the situation with his best friend, the chocobo cleverly named Boko. Romantically wasting his life away in what has to be the smallest forest of the world, he is forcefully pulled into our collective attention when a meteorite falls from the sky and crashes into the ground nearby. Regardless, meet Bartz Klauser, young adventurer from the quiet town of Lix. God, don't you just hate it when walkthrough writers go into detail about the intro? Then this happens, then that happens, some dude gets his hand cut off, then there's an explosion and the bad guy transforms.if you don't bother to watch the bloody intro, how dedicated can the player be to a walkthrough, one might ponder? Treasures: Phoenix DownThe intro is fairly long and pleasant to watch.
