I love video gaming :)

This month, on stream, I will be finishing Majora's Mask, playing FFX and playing Stray. *Marge simpson I just think they are neat gif*

In my own time I started a game that I have been promising Cheetah I would try for a long while. I have begun Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk DX and will be thought posting about that.

Currently I have recruited my first party member! Regina Curtis.

The names in this are wild, but so far Keithgriff Hazeldine is melodic in ways of the Romantic poets.

It seems like a very relaxing kind of game, even with the time limits. 3 years to learn about some flowers seems tremendously doable and luckily moving around the place takes a couple of days. 3 days is about 1% of time so I think it is good to have it as a directive but not too restrictive.

I really like the idea of getting bonuses from writing in the diary and committing to words the actions you took, but that you have to actually make the memories to write them down (memory points being what you use to make those commitments.) It is a game mechanic I have not seen before and I love surprises :)

as a general rule, in ARR they make lip service to the idea that you have random adventurer buddies, in heavensward they pretend you solo it, in stormblood they make jokes about how absurd it is, and in shadowbringers and endwalker it's canon you do it with npc party members

the 3ds games with xp share off and a rule to not buy consumables (but using ones you find is okay) was the perfect difficulty for me

im caremad that you can't toggle xp share off in swish

What’s wrong with xp sharing? Seems like a nice simple QoL change to me
I love to share my xp

well in theory nothing, but the way they implemented it was to give every backliner 50% xp on top of the frontliner getting 100% xp so it's quadrupaling your xp on a full team. The 3ds games were about right difficulty wise without quadrupaled xp, imo

if you've been mainlining the msq all the way into stormblood, I recommend cooling off for a bit. Do some of the optional content from previous expansions. The talking:fighting ratio is way different in something like Alexander or Void Ark. Or even just unsub and come back later. You're essentially playing multiple full games back to back and it's not really surprising you burn yourself out trying to mainline multiple hundreds of hours of any game

I'm sure a quick ask on your newly joined fc will get a bunch of bites for newbie bonus on Alex or warring triad. Or hell, if youre on primal, ask in this thread! I've been known to join newbies for first time content runs

The only meaningful story content not in roulettes is coil, though, so if that's what you based your experience on its worth trying again with something that is in a roulette. Maybe an hour just is what it takes for Alex to pop in dps though idk I haven't tried in a very long time
