you know it just occurred to me that a tip to designers/whoever wants to stay in industries away from AI-enshittification, go with places where You Will Get Sued if You Fuck The Product Up (and somebody dies). eg, important health stuff, certian non-shady security sectors, baby products, pharmacy, etc.

cuz i can personally confirm that the dayjob legal department starts yowling like a cross between a cat in heat and a geiger counter whenever some enterprising VP starts mentioning AI and the VP shut up pretty quickly after that lol.

(sure it's stressful in a different way but, hey. tradeoffs?)

i forgot to mention how fucking devious vayne's speech was last FF12 loveblog post..... like, legit was writing notes on how smooth and well structured it was from turning a hostile audience to one on your side. gonna come in handy for corporate shenanigans. :3c

too smooth, obviously. anyone gives a speech (to commoners) (looking like that) in a video game is obviously up to no good but like, dang, writers are doing some cool shit in this game.

anyway, i JUST discovered (lol) jobs and the license board... listing my combos below for those who're curious:

shikari/foebreaker = basch (i spoil my favorites rotten and this *is* technically listed as the best set. i know story-wise knight fits best on him but i'm leaning on Good Gameplay just because i'm not a FF expert by any means)
knight/bushi = balthier (high stats in everything, good heavy physical wall.)
white mage/mechanist = fran (since her stats are slightly wobblier, mechanist sounds good there, and she's been holding up ok as the party white mage so far since even before buying all the licenses.
black mage/red mage = ashe (high magic stat, she'll be fine here. i also like her being offensive tbh)
monk/?? = vaan
(i uh. don't intend on using pandelo much. sorry!)

* also you can regen MP faster by having your mage walk in circles??? thank fuck. guess my old trick of 'leave the tv for a while' won't work but at least you're not up shit creek between battles.

almost through the barlehiem(?) passageways  .... i hear the game opens up a tad after that which i'm really looking forward to. tried doing the threxla hunt (no2 i think) with just vaan when he was wayyyy underleveled but loling now how i'm going to curbstomp the thing.
