[FF15] I always get a D in Finesse on battles and I'm not sure why
Quinneapolis
the Elemancy system seems pretty neat
lazy loafer
elemancy reminds me a little of the draw system from ffviii. but the customization options make it a bit different.
Princess Emily
finesse is how many blindsides and parries you do
Quinneapolis
that would explain it I guess
Quinneapolis
I barely even remember HOW to parry
Quinneapolis
okay the bosses in this game aren't kidding
Quinneapolis
maybe I should actually do a couple sidequests
Quinneapolis
chapter 3!
Quinneapolis
woo took down a gigantoad at level 15
Princess Emily
have u tried killing the iron giants yet?
Quinneapolis
havne't seen any lately
Quinneapolis
so sometimes I can hold L1 to like crouch make rainbows appear on the edges of the screen
Quinneapolis
the hell is that about
TWO OF THEM
if you hold L1 long enough the rainbows overtake the screen and you unlock the secret gay ending
Quinneapolis
ok cool
Quinneapolis
I like how the food seems to have a sort of semi-consistency to its buffs
Quinneapolis
carbs raise max HP, meat raises attack, drinks grant status resistances, etc
Quinneapolis
oh my god this is infuriating
Quinneapolis
I'm trying to get to the tomb behind the waterfall for the third king power thing
Quinneapolis
but the rest stop that the auto parked me at, which is right next to it
Quinneapolis
is on the side of a road that's flanked by impassable fences on both sides for at least a quarter mile in both directions
Quinneapolis
so I can't actually get to it???
Quinneapolis
how the fuck do I get down there
Quinneapolis
I guess this is it, the stairs down to wilderness level half a mile away from where the game suggested I park
Quinneapolis
nope, this isn't the way either I'm so confused
Quinneapolis
is this waterfall just completely inaccessible
Quinneapolis
NOPE I just overlooked the same staircase about 8 trillion times in a row
Quinneapolis
why do these equal-level random encounter crabs do 400 damage per hit out of my 660 HP
Quinneapolis
maybe I should go down to easy
Quinneapolis
maybe there's some way to increase your defense that I've forgotten about, there's no armor slot on the gear page so
Quinneapolis
shrug???
Quinneapolis
Easy it is
Princess Emily
wear bangles
Princess Emily
my lowest guy has like 1300 health
Quinneapolis
the best bangles I've found in a shop give +200 HP
Quinneapolis
which would put me at 860
Quinneapolis
sooooo
Quinneapolis
are you doing every side quest or something
Princess Emily
um
Princess Emily
yes
Princess Emily
but also, platinum bangles are a reward from Justice Monsters Five
Princess Emily
so 10 gil for +700 health
Quinneapolis
oh
Quinneapolis
so my options are "do all the sidequests and faff around with boring minigames for minmaxing gear"
Quinneapolis
or "go down to easy"
Quinneapolis
so, easy it is
Quinneapolis
I like this game's overworld
Quinneapolis
it feels very alive
Quinneapolis
and not just, like
Quinneapolis
there for you to advance through
