kradeelavgot to meet editoress and melody IRL today! :D absolutely delightful, 10/10 time eating sushi, signing YRMR, and geeking out about unsounded. we're not far from each other so we will absolutely doing more visits.
also happily still playing through FF12!
* went into the sandsea section right about time when shit hit the fan for me in work/personal life so it was actually really great timing for me to just be a zombie while watching pretty numbers Go Up as i grinded through. was a little over-long but at least the timing was right. raithwall tomb was super pretty too, though i felt like on a level design aspect they could have scaled down the place by like 10-20%; a lot of walking, enough to turn on the x2 speed.
* i love ashe as a red battlemage since maces are their primary physical weapon and i think it's like therapy for her to smash stuff <3
* belias was like the easiest boss fight ever; then again i knew to come prepared with firing off a bunch of quickenings + then spamming aqua.
* clued into vossler's shtick slighly early when he started mysteriously leveling up slightly faster than the rest of the party LOL. went 'he'd make for a good boss fight at this state-ohhhhhh shit lol'.
* first time i fought vossler, got to 5% of his health and got a game over, second time, i sicc'd ashe's belias on him and god damn i didn't expect him to go down that fast lol. ashe was pissed apparenly? T_T at his final scene though.
* kind of loving all of these 'balthier has Some Legitmate Beef with nethcite' hints ... i know it's adding up to something big but content to wait.

Date: 2024-08-29 02:50 pm (UTC)that is honestly a brilliant way of implementing gameplay/storytelling with filling out the bestiary like that ... like logically it can be read as the crew getting more familiar with the critter's habits the more they journey around them (foods, fears, wants, etc), but also a neat way to encourage the player to stick around an area more rather than zooming through. :D
