Stone Ocean did not bring a lot of hype to the series.
All will be forgiven if SBR is as good as the manga.

Anniversary Black Grail to finally MLB the damn thing.

I do like Archuria NP2 and above.
When a skill drains NP, having over 100% in the bank helps.

Really dedicated players will have their waifu/husbandos go for level 120, NP5, 2k/2k fous, bond 15, max beast paws 10/10/10 skills and appends.

Am I missing anything?

90 to 100 ain't too bad.
The grind to 120 is what's killer.

I'm just too used to touch screen based rhythm games I can't handle stick timings.

Summer Ibuki I think needs a few NP levels to get the ball rolling to the ridiculous levels?
Summer Musashi's going to be looking inadequate until her rank up.

Oh wow that king tonberry meme deck really can snowball like crazy against the Queen's Blood final boss.

Well shit, Bocchi was one of the most pleasant surprises of last year.

That's kinda what I liked about the original.

It had a lot of minigames, but they were very short and most of them didn't have much in terms of rewards associated with them.
Do feel like they should just hand you summons like in the original bit with the option of having the boss battles against ever increasing power variants for those that want the challenge.

Odin wiped me out and I don't particularly want to go through that again because I'm already way over how long it took me to clear the original and that was with a few major sidequests cleared in full.

Chicken sidequest was annoying, but short enough that it wasn't too big a deal.

If the final instalment of the trilogy has Rebirth's biodiversity, but with Nibelheim level of ease of traversal and can be cleared with side content in 50ish hours then that's going to hit all the sweetspots for me.

The Apothecary Diaries

Fate/Zero is no stranger to low rankings, tbh for such a well received show on b8 the rankings are all over the place.
It's one of those shows that many respect, but is often at the back of the queue in priority.
Get past that and like last year it can really go on a good run.

Hey maybe we'll get a Grey Alter, Summer, Lily version at some point.

Change of plans, we'll have a round today.
Just late.

Castoria/Merlin/Himiko works pretty similarly but with more of a focus on Buster Crit cards.
It's a very slow comp though.

Grailed Habbycat to 100, append 10 on NP.
Her refund is pretty neat.

I think it's easier if you just take screenshots on your phone and post them.

Key area will almost always be get Castoria and Koyanskaya.

Pekora really dropping 5 figures on a sub 10 times use model.
Hololive talents have moved past the superchat phase of their careers too from the looks of it.

Expected tbh given their other revenue streams are more reliable.

Feel like if the game removed the World Intel stuff but kept the sidequests, it would be better.
Though I guess if you do that, the beautiful open world they made would feel empty.

Last year it made 19th, sounds like a show I'd send some saves to before dropping once I had to fully focus on my priority, but my secondary was Darling Dress Up, so maybe I didn't provide much support.

OddTaxi did make it all the way to finals and Frieren's been much better received.
Though OLM did have a hand in making The Apothecary Diaries.

For older shows that had a big moment but didn't win, I'll guess on uuuuh, Madoka, TTGL or DBZ.
Looks like I've only seen 32 shows from what made the field.

I'm guessing The Dangers in my Heart and 7th Time Loop might be up my alley though.

That's our runner up knocked out.
I wish Ufotable would animated Lostbelt 6, but I have a feeling if it gets animated it'll be in the hands of clvoerworks.

Yeah just cleared that Sidequest.
I suck and often fall off track, so hovering through and just skipping those parts helped a lot.

But even though I have a skill issue, cactuar gates aside, this was one of the strongest minigames.

Oh I see, all this time I've mostly been using Aponi as the cornering seems good and hover lets me just cut through the course.

Given that it's April 1st, lot of off the wall stuff.

Miko's been taken over by Mikodanye
Pekora announced mamalive
Koyori was taken over by an AI
Haachama doing some pig POV stream...though that's Haachama so sounds normal for her
Lot of gender bending, like Lui with the romance game PV.

I trust nothing to be real.

Aight, will put that on the backburner.

It seems i don't have the skill to complete the higher difficulty levels of Chocobo Racing but that's on me. Billy guess your closure is not for this run.

I do like how late game the loadouts have brought that same level of fun as the original. Always liked mix and matching materia to create certain types of character setups.
Yuffie is the most fun party member to play as, really like Tifa too.

Also like sticking Aeries somewhere as a comet bot, her wards come in handy when casting.

Any must complete sidequests from Chapter 12?

The way they all popped up at the start of the chapter tells me this is my last stop for those types of quests before moving on with the plot. Kinda like what happened with XVI.

But now that I'm so close to the home stretch I kinda actually do wanna get round to completing the story.
If there's shit to see before then I'm all ears.

XVI's side missions added to the game a lot ahead of the endgame.

I have played Mario Kart a total of less than an hour in my life so unfamiliar with how those games play.

Up to Chapter 12.
Chocobo Racing is gonna take a while to clear.

It's fun but challenging

So that's Psycho Pass out.
