Setzer BSB was my plan with the gem draw yeah

I really don't think I wanna bother with it though. Giving this game money. I dunno, maybe I'll stick with it. I have to look into this Ayame break viability.

Reroll till I get a buncha Setzer soul breaks sounds more fun though.

My white whales since the game began:

Tidus SSB
Tidus BSB
Tidus USB
Rikku anything
Minwu SSB
Setzer anything
Faris anything

Things I got that I was really happy to get that didn't cost an arm and a leg:

Dark Cecil SSB
Yuffie SSB
Tidus Spiral Cut (was cool at one point!)
Tidus OSB

Things I got that I was really happy to get that DID cost an arm and a leg (mythril-- I know better than to buy gems to get items I basically use them exclusively for 100 draws):

Dark Cecil DARK SWORD (Back when soul breaks were basic things)
Tidus's Shield (Tidus not having Hastega is criminal)

Meanwhile, I have like, without exaggeration:

30+ miscellaneous FF2 relics
10+ Yuna Relics (6 Full Metal Rods, 3 Tiny Bees, The Sending, at minimum)
5+ Jecht Relics
5+ Paine Relics
Pretty much Tyro soul break aside from his overflow and despite intentionally avoiding every banner with him on it (all "lucky" draws)

It's just like, enough is enough, man.

Part of me wants to reroll till I get a good Setzer roll on the FFVI banner and just start the game over. With the amount of power creep in all the game's rewards it might be worth it.

I somewhat doubt getting Rikku's USB would've magically helped things on the high end content anyways.


It would've helped a lot, man. I'm actually pretty good on ability hones, equipment, etc etc.

I mean just caving an using Tyro would solve a lot

But the game is not fun with Tyro. Needing to use him to clear everything is what made me take a 1 year break. I'm the kinda guy where if it's not viable to clear all content while using units you like, it's just not worth playing the game. And for a long time, it was viable to do that-- eventually the game powercrept too much and you're left with 3 options

1. Use whatever units the game deigns to give you items for, regardless of whether you like them.
2. Whale
3. Skip the high level content.

I'm sorta at this weird spot where I can effortlessly clear 160 and lower content, and the 180+ content is too difficult without making concessions. So 3 doesn't really have much point-- just a mindless grind game-- I can play Brave Exvius if I wanna do that.

2 I'm just against on principle at this point-- like I said I would've been happy to throw $85 at the game if I got Tidus or Rikku's USB. I did the probabilities and the odds favored me getting at least one of the two.

And yeah, 1 just isn't fun to me.

Easier to just bail. There are plenty of good games out there that I don't really need to waste my time with this one.

I was chasing a lot of items (two on this banner, even!) and have had pretty consistently terrible luck with this game-- the only time I ever had good luck was with Tidus's OSB.

This is sort of just the straw that broke the camel's back here.

Yeah I have the stamina to get the last 6 mythril just gotta play.

And my whole point is I don't want to tread water with Tyro and would rather just quit (again) than bother. So I will likely be doing that shortly unless the trash gacha shows some mercy.

Basically my problem with high level content in this game is

I don't have a decent hastega
I don't have a decent party attack buff

So then the solution becomes well RW Shout or whatever

But then if I do that I have no Sentinel, which requires running Tyro. But every time I run Tyro part of me dies.

Basically I need that Ultra to enjoy this game but I'm not paying hundreds for it. I won't.

Illegally modifying a gun isn't really anything that you should feel particularly paranoid about doing anyway. Knowledge and proficiency are the two walls there moreso than legality. Like, I don't know the exact specifics but I do know from a gun enthusiast friend that you can do this kinda stuff without buying any illegal or even suspicious parts.

But getting the basic armory as your start point before the modifications is a big deal. I do think you'd have overall a lot less people able to shoot up places, simply because there aren't a lot of Walter Whites in the real world. Not a ton of overlap between the amount of guts/connections for that amount of criminal activity, proficiency to illegally modify, and being mentally screwed up. Particularly because the latter directly runs at odds with the former two.

I think incidents like this are exactly why gun control is a big deal by the way.

The typical response from gun rights activists is "if you control guns, only the criminals have guns"

Which is actually something I sort of agree with.

But dudes like this? Normal non-criminal people who just snap? If he had to go through criminal channels to get his guns, he would've been much much more likely to fail to attain those weapons, I feel. Most "crazy" people aren't really anything that resembles courageous and would likely be walled off well before obtaining an armory.

I guess what I'm saying is I trust criminals more than the mad. And on the plus side, you put stronger gun control in place the more cowardly criminals, of which there are many (and who are frankly probably some of the more dangerous to have a gun since opening fire is an easy panic reaction), are getting walled out as well.

I have. A few times. I played this game before the guaranteed 5* so I mean...

But that's precisely why I have no patience for the shitty gacha in this game on my return tour. I should have more to show for 300 mythril and a free 30 draw than a dated SSB for a character I like, and an OSB for a character I like but wasn't drawing for cause he doesn't really fit into my team compositions, and some armor with good STATZ.

It's not that I know it can't get worse. It's that I don't feel like putting the effort in to continue to play this game like some sorta battered woman syndrome victim hoping things will get better with future pulls I grind out, nor do I feel this game is worth hundreds of bucks to enjoy.

Up to 44 Mythril. God bless the FFT realm having early game stamina requirements and being released after my break from the game. Should hit 50 one last time.

With it, we'll see whether we see an actual live instance of Record Keeper losing $85.99(++) cause of their ass gacha or not, cause if I get Rikku's claws I get a Leviathan, do the gem exclusive draw and save the remainder for 100 gem draws. And if I don't, I quit the game again, probably for good this time, since getting dicked over this hard by the gacha since returning is doing a good idea of reminding me why I quit in the first place.

The left exploiting this to push for gun control before the bodies are cold is especially sick. There's nothing they won't politicize.


When something terrible happens, many people look for something to blame as their way to cope. If you believe in gun control it's a very natural thing to single out immediately as a convenient thing to blame-- it doesn't really have anything to do with some political masterplan.

But I also don't overly concern myself with arena points. Pretty content to just oscillate between 17 and 18, myself. Might try to use an armor team in Arena Gauntlet though on the first match just to make it less of a headache with horses though.

I think Zelda games are kinda fun, don't get me wrong, but Link as a character is not particularly satisfying to use in most of em. A lot of Zelda's gameplay is in puzzle type stuff, which while it can be fun doesn't really sell me on the character-- it's all about control for me there. Combat for Link is generally very basic stuff-- no potential for fun create-a-combos or anything, just stick and move for the most part.

I guess he is well above average in Smash games as well though-- may have underrated him there. I do find myself playing Link more than a lot of characters which is especially telling considering he isn't really a favorite of mine as a character.

I just want consistency that's all. Maybe you really love Link's gameplay or whatever you're selling to justify not dumpstering him like you did Akinator.

I really doubt everyone who is hating on his "lack of character" who didn't dumpster Link has some unique criteria that applies to Link that doesn't apply to Akinator though. I've read a lot of "favorite character" lists in my day and very few even mention how much fun they are to play as, let me tell you.

I'm saying most people in here are claiming he "doesn't have a character"

If that is your complaint then you should be eviscerating all characters with similarly weakly defined character traits such as Link.

There are definitely a set of criteria to use that would rate Akinator lowly and Link highly but not if that's your complaint.

I like plenty of characters without dialogue!

Link and Akinator are both kinda just cliches though. Nothing really unique about em. Akinator gets a bit smug when he wins which already gives him more of a personality than Link. Link has some fun game appearances. Overall kind of a push.

I'm not necessarily saying Link should be lowly rated by everyone just think there's a double standard.
