I know that theorhetically someone already on top of the post could use rescue if they have it. I don't care. I want to do the damn climb proper and to get that sightseeing spot. Even just getting to the top once is enough and attempting the jump, THEN getting someone to help me cheese it would work.
for now though I'm taking a break. I'm gonna leave to visit my mom for a few days so I want to make sure that the food I have in the fridge is cooked before it goes bad
yep... but I'm also ridiculously stubborn. As in "will try the stupid chocobo racing minigame in FFX for hours in the first go of the Calm Lands to get early Sun Sigil even knowing there's a lot of BS RNG" level of stubborn.
god I'm so relieved, I couldn't stop smiling the first time I got to the top and then I got there a second time and noted what I did wrong with the first jump and corrected and I was stunned for a second because I thought I was just short but no I landed on the damn lamp post I AM THE BEST
Edit: I DID THE THING WITNESS ME
