Yes the PS5 BC rumor was a huge let down from what the hype was generating.

Getting some great character build going after night 1 of field study 2. Grr and as I type this I’m 55 miles north of my house for who knows how long with my ex wife. I had to put on rest mode right in the middle of

The Big in Japan sale is back. Only thing interesting me this time is Tales of Vespiria which I will likely get. My Tales knowledge is very limited..only ever played and didn’t even finish Symphonia on GC when new. I bought Bersia last sale. It’s gonna be a lonnng time before I even get round to it.

That’s the only Tolkien book I just couldn’t finish and one of the few total books ever I quit I need to add.

Finally was able to fight with Fie outside Bareahard. She is a little demon! Not a huge fan yet of Emma. Got her in reserve. Like Jusis and Machias a lot. Now I’m having to use i find myself really wishing the game allowed 5 party members. I would totally go with Rean, Elliot, Laura, Fie and Machias all day long. Jusis is quite handy. Gaius, Alisa and Emma will be getting the back seats likely if the game ever opens up pasts these field study things.

That brings up a question I had: what exactly is ATS and ADF(?) stat? It’s really not been explained in game that I’ve noticed and I’d look it up myself but I learned the hard way while playing glorious Xenoblade NOT to do so because of random spoilers appear that have nothing to do with what you specifically typed up to be looked at...grr that pissed me off so bad. Saw a HUGE spoiler when I was in the midst of that gem of a game.

Most excellent news that.

Why didn’t you just turn it off at the sink instead?

I was afraid of that. Don’t like it. moving onto my 2nd field study. Should be interesting.

Will I be able to unlock more then just these 8 slots of the Arctus?

Nice quite a bit I missed so far to it looks like and I thought I was doing good too...been talking to everyone multiple times so I thought I had everything covered. Nope!

ARGH where are these rusting teachers at? Only one more to go... THIS IS FRUSTRATING! I’m going all over the place looking for this last teacher. Don’t want to look up in case of spoilers getting blasted. ahh got it. The teacher in art room was very sneaky but I’m finally done... now on to the fighting.

Oh man I spoke WAY TO SOON!! Im gonna try to get to lvl 16 or 17 as I just got mauled and was quickly running out of revive brews by something that is Gogol(Xenoblade)Behemoth(FF) hybrid in this park. Tore me up so bad I quit mid fight. Back to the grind I go. I wasn’t expecting that bad a beat down... actually I think I ll backtrack off I can back to Celdic and buy some items with all this mass ive collected. ok bought 12 for the exact Mira I made from Mass and dipped further to equip all armor and stronger weapons at Odvins so hopefully that itself will really help out. Shame it will probably be tomorrow before I find out now as I it’s ambien time now so I will just continue the grind towards lvl 15 tonight I guess. Come at it in the AM ok I’m back. Got to 15 last night. Here’s hoping that lvl 16 will do the trick today. and I just went ahead and trotted back to Celdic and bought 10 more revives. I love rpging!! back on. Almost to 16. My peeps are really starting to miss their hits. Very annoying. ok at 16x4 so here I go. Hope I don’t have to shoot for 17 or even 18. Put an HP 1 quartz on Laura so she almost at 3K right now. ok 16 was the magic number. I really sailed through it compared to that lvl 13 attempt. I just loved the corniness of the entire closing chapter skit. So they have Kylo Ren now... gotta cut some grass but I can’t wait to get back on and continue. grr so much READING.. hours of reading now. I just want to get back in old school house and fight but trying to do the options quest now and deliver 5 txt books. Have got 2. It is ambien time though so until tomorrow...

Initiating that advantage is make or break a battle. I’m in the park right now grinding a bit and the enemies are def much stronger then the ones on route here but even those can cause my lvl 14 party grief. Elliots lullaby craft is a must cast on 1st move as is Reans autum cutter thing. I use Alisa’s flame arrow sometimes. Laura is so strong I just use attack. oh and the mom at the farm gave me vampire ch 3! It’s 30 pgs long.. aww I kept waiting for that to happen...opening a chest only to be attacked..got pounced by a very large group of enemies but using my skill I’ve been slowly been learning I was able to defeat with minimum damage taken. I love how powerful you are in this game right off the bat. Or atleast how many options you have available..normally this type of stuff would be mid game atleast. I’m glad I have such a good 1st impression after spending $107 on just this threads hype.

Morrowind is the best! I can still remember just how amazingly mind blowing it was back when it was new. It was just so big! Now I want to turn it on and read some in game books. So much richness to take in.

What’s different about it from Persona 5? I had fun the little I played but I really disliked being on a time limit. If I’m playing that’s what I want to do not worry about time management. Totally ruined my enjoyment. Thankfully Cold Steel isn’t exactly like that so far. I only made it to 2nd dungeon in P5.

Have you played Morrowind and Oblivion? Elder Scrolls games are epic and I need game 6 already.. Been a long time since 11/11/11 and sadly it’s still likely to be years before it comes..

Awwwwwwwwwwww I just figured out what y’all meant with the Sepith Mass stuff...I just thought that bottom number was my sum total from battles and that I would get a direct Mass title drop onscreen. So now I was able to get $14K I dropped $2K on that master Quartz and gave to Alisa. Im now on day 2 of field study in Celdic going to a disturbance at the market stalls. Very engaging game.

Where is a Orbal rest point in Celdic!? I need to recharge but the inn is trying to charge me $100 and I sure can’t part with that right now. I haven’t seen one yet and that Highway did me in EP wise! Oh and Laura is a beast.

Some dragonflies just gave me an utter beat down... Alisa and Laura were out for the count and I don’t have the supplies nor funds for supplies for any phoenix down clones. So I just restarted. Hopefully I can avoid those this time. Wasn’t expecting that steep a power climb of enemies. Also yeah ok I’m talking to everybody and I guess was just rewarded for that as some random gal gave me ch 2 of the vampire story!

And that’s the only one I have right now anyway.. will look into it.

I’m currently I really need $.. I’m so used to games giving it on killing enemies. I had $500 but sunk $300 the other day to +1 each character’s weapons. Elliot is extremely helpful in combat.

Yeah I was blasted last night and started throwing hundreds of sepith around not understanding what I was really doing unlocking new lines. Oh well. I’m making some back up with the early morning grind.

Ok so I went and talked to most everyone atleast once at all locations and I’m now back underground finally fighting again with Elliot and Gaius. I’m going to grind a bit if I can if enemies respawn. Anddd they do so I’m lvling these guys up a bit so I can be OP early.

The above of my post. Dresden Files.
