Everything about Enna Kros is crazy. What is the throne she mentions when talking to Big Bridge Alexander in the Omega God DLC? That's what I want to know myself.

Really, just 100% palette swaps? Guess they avoid complaints of p2w that way given there's pvp multiplayer. Has anyone actually played the multiplayer? Is it any good?

They are palette swaps but have different abilities here and there. For example, P2 Tama has Bio, Dark Behemot has Regen, Bravery and Banishra.

I'm tempted to start a new game just to use these.

Somehow, the boy just isn't very buoyant.
Those sure are some jacked up prices though. Maybe if they had put up a pack with everything I could swallow it but at $2-3 a piece I am having a hard time with justification even if this ended up being my GOTY.

So apparently the PS4 pro fix patch is coming in early January for Japan. Hopefully not long after for the west.

There's some issue that causes an intense fuzziness in all graphics except the UI. The best way to describe it is that it looks like someone added a thick layer of Vaseline to the lens. I mostly noticed because I upgraded to a pro 3/4 of the way through the game and was immediately surprised by it. If someone started on a pro, they might think that this was how it was supposed to look.

I have it on a pro and very much noticed it. I'm playing on a 1080p tv though so it may be the down-sampling that is causing it.

I found the secret area in the Nether Nebula, and acquiring the other 2 mini-versions of the Pleiad got me into enough fights to now have my main party within kissing distance of Level 30. Oh well, wasn't in this for the difficulty anyway.

I did try to pick a fight with the Goblin Princess and got my head smashed in for my trouble, so there's that.

Just hit her with her status weakness (confusion maybe?) and imprism her. I always keep a stack of status items so I don't have to roll with status spells on the off chance il need them unless I want to.

there are some fights I've definitely only won because I hit the imprism requirements. if you want to add some more challenge back, just switch out some mirages for different ones, especially since there are cool ones all throughout the game, and neat abilities to get through stacking and such.

It might be slightly less blurry? Or it could be my imagination?

The clock in the Girl's Tea Room didn't get any less blurry, which was the main thing to my eyes.

I just tried it out. It looks a lot better. No more blur in battles. The patch notes say they squashed bugs so I'm assuming the pro bug was one of them.

You gain access to Tama's last transfig pretty late in the game.

The only thing I'll say is: Remember to check your adventure log thing after a pretty obvious quest, you need an item to do it but the item is a prize, it isn't automatically given to you. A lot of people miss this.

Also, do take the time to go to the Twins' room and read the Who's Who. It's absolutely worth it. Do it after you meet your first Final Fantasy 8 cameo for a really great joke.

Which is intentional. It was the same way in Sigma Harmonics, the game that it came from.

Spoiler: The Girl Who Forgot Her Name is Nene from Sigma Harmonics, who sacrificed herself to the Grand Clock to change time and save her brother, the titular Sigma.

This should look and sound familiar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=of48_zWpHAE&t=235s

Bonus: The music in the tea room (this) is a remix of Sigma Harmonics music (this). Both were done by the same composer, Masashi Hamauzu.

I finished this game

I liked it a lot until I got to the last fourth of it where there were two insanely boring and long dungeons, five million interventions at once, and five bosses in a row with no healing in between for no reason. I still like it a lot, but I got pretty soured on playing the game more at the end of it.

The final boss rush is surprisingly challenging (I actually got killed by the team-up boss fight between the two) but the massive amount of interventions were fine 'cause those were by far my favorite parts of the game anyway.

The Dyad Demons were good, but everything else was a mixture of the same thing with the Cogna and the Superaltima Weapon gimmick was really bad. Like there are a lot of good interventions prior to the shittons that drop after the Cogna become things and even after those, but the ones that drop at that point are all really boring and uninteresting especially the Cloud and Squall ones where they have existential meltdowns and there are so many of them it becomes a grind to finish them.

Excuse me but the Cloud one is a fun adventure where he and Celes hang out and attempt to practice for an opera and then they enjoy some fried octopus afterwards.

honestly, if you've already beaten the game, it doesn't make much of a difference. the Sora one is free so there's no reason not to grab it, since it's limited time only, but Sora is just an extra champion you can get.

the extra mirages are I guess just palette swaps of other mirages but they have different abilities/boards.

A few of them also have some mirajewels you can earn with fairly little effort. The white chocobo has a Cura jewel for example.
