One more aside, the way they handled the equippable buffs I thought was a horrible design choice. The effects of most are too minor to be noticeable - and I mean after like hours and hours of having them equipped, not just immediately. The names are also too cryptic to figure out what they do. So I just equipped ones with swords and shields because I figured they were offensive and defensive buffs that you couldn't go wrong with. And eventually I used a few I did figure out, like the lucky cup and scavenger's mask.

It just felt like an entirely wasted aspect of the game I ignored since I didn't know what they did. I naturally assumed you would find a manual page that fully explained them all, but then there's just a random manual page thay explains like 5 of them, if I remember correctly? What an odd decision.
