It was so nice being back on the con train again! Felt good to be doing that again. I had fun, but the only real piece of info relevant to this is that Erica Lindbeck is actually as dramatic as Magilou (per Mela Lee). No freakin' wonder she got cast for that part. A really understated thing in gaming is just how much the voice acting for a character matters for their reception - change the VA and suddenly people don't buy the character. It's no different from live acting in much of any regards tbh.

Business time. I have no idea what the heck I'm doing against this thing. No items can do the job. And trying to attack ITS attacks to whack it back into it doesn't work. I finally spoiled myself with what you did, Mewtwo... so the nullified damage thing works? It wasn't working for me when I tried it. Didn't go the cooking route, though, because I didn't even realize that damage nullification was possible that way (I have no recipe aside from a "All damage reduced by 20" but that's nullifying. I have Laphicet cook with the 5% nonelemental damage boost. I then equip Eleanor with GOBS of damage-reflector skills since she has the most to stack - "Reflect 27% of nullified damage" looks snazzy, so I go into battle and...

Nothing happens. I still don't do a single hit point of damage to this mothertfucker. I look it up and find out that this Void Ring I found out of place was HERE (I'd thought it was in town because my mind has been elsewhere lol), so I give that to Eleanor and I go back and mess with it and... it dies. Instantly. Wut. I had thought "reduction" and "nullification" were two different things, but there ya go. All without screwing with the difficulty. (And believe me, I'd tried the damage reflection before but it did nothing. Perhaps because I didn't stack things the way I could have. Ah well. I KILLED IT AND GET HARDERER DIFFICULTIES NOW!

I get a skit about the Scarlet Night - superstitions and facts, the latter including mana overflowing from earthpulses when the moon is in a certain position. Eizen thinks Rokurou may be right about humanity's bloodshed spilling into earthpulses and thus being part of the mana. Doesn't change that it looks cool, even if creepy. I'd enjoy these kinds of things in real life if it wasn't cloudy every time AccuWeather told me one was occurring... like seriously, that happens at least 90% of the time with those.

After saving, I spend the rest of my time adjusting to Chaos, but none of that matters because I run into a Dire Foe that wipes the floor with me. Definitely still have adjustments to make. I didn't lose too much, thankfully.
