I get the itch to play one every 5 years or so and this one had a lot of positive buzz leading up to its launch, so I figured it was worth a shot.

Is there an optimization guide for time spending yet?

There's a guide on this site that seems like it's good. It sounds like it's not 100% optimal, but it'll still get you everything max by the end of the game.

You missed out on a lot if you ignored plug-in chips. Invulnerability after being hit, shockwave projectiles that fire from melee attacks, auto-pick-up-item, evade dash length boost, movement speed boost, health regain when damaging enemy, health regain on not being damaged, time slow on a perfect dodge, parry counter attacks, chests displayed on the minimap...yeah.

Yeah, I didn't completely ignore it. I mostly used passive buffs to stats but I did use some of the health regain stuff and item auto-use. It was very hard to actually die, so I agree that the game wasn't super hard or anything, I just felt like there were times were it was hard to keep track of what was going on on-screen.

I played Berseria at the beginning of the year! It was pretty good!

I didn't know that! I didn't really interact with the systems in the game all that much because that's not really what I was playing for. Maybe after Persona I'll go back and mess with it a bit more.

Alright, some Nier thoughts.

After the first route, I wasn't as high on Automata as the first Nier, but the later routes helped out a lot. I thought the story was great and I really wish I had done more of the sidequests even though I found them tedious. The ending felt slightly unsatisfying until the very end when you know what happens, and that moment hit real hard for some reason even though it's actually kind of a silly thing. I know that's pretty vague but I don't really want to spoil anything.

Gameplay-wise I think I could actually take or leave the game. There's a high probability I'm just bad, but I felt like it was a little to easy to get stunlocked by some enemies, and things got so hectic at times it was real hard to effectively dodge and move around the battlefield. I still miss the gameplay homages that the original Nier had that never really surfaced in Automata. At least fishing was optional here.

It still kinda blows my mind that this game even exists. I'm not sure why someone decided to greenlight a sequel to Nier but I'm glad they did, and given the succecss of Automata, it seems like Yoko Taro will definitely be back to do more, whether it be in the Nierverse or something new.

Also played the first couple hours of Persona and boy is that game good so far. There's never been a better time to be playing video games.

Is there truth to the translation feeling slightly off? I didn't really notice anything in the Quick Look, but from some of the bits of dialogue I've seen posted, parts of it look very literal and unnatural in English.

http://card.psnprofiles.com/1/Gylgamesh501.png

I very much doubt this is even about spoilers. The game's been out for 7 months in Japan. The spoilers are already out there. They just don't want people to watch a largely story-focused game on the Internet instead of buying it.

It's definitely Atlus JP, they say as much in the note. Still doesn't make it any less backwards given the gaming landscape in 2017.

I'll probably get it tomorrow after finishing Nier. Mass Effect being a dud was a blessing in disguise because now I don't feel compelled to play it and can just go all in on Persona for the next month or two.

blue > red always

Still not sure how good it is though, these are tough to evaluate. Having 7+ cards is tougher than having 1 or less, but the payoff for the blue one is better. I dunno.

Power level aside, if all the gods end up look this one, I think this is a big miss on Wizard's part for the casual crowd. There's nothing interesting or unique about this the way that there were with the Theros gods. It's just a Legendary creature. I feel like at the very least they should have given them some kind of unique border treatment to make them feel special.

On the upside, the awful font on the Invocations makes it look like Hazoret the Pervert, so that's a plus.

In some cases, especially in the second playthrough, yeah you have the items they want.

They obviously aren't ALL like that, but the ones that are suck, especially because you're just walking back and forth through the same 3 or 4 areas over and over.

The sidequests in Nier are very frustrating. They're extremely fetch questy and not very good, but they really help flesh out the world add a lot of great flavor to the game so I feel compelled to complete them.

Do stores not carry game guides anymore? I kinda wanted to pick up one for Zelda, but I checked any number of Walmarts/Targets/Gamestops and no one had anything.

Damn you internet.

I think I'm done with the FFT event. Got every single item except the expensive awakening mats. 8 Poaches is probably fine.

Cycle Lands are great, I really hope they print the enemy ones in Hour of Devastation.

Not really feeling Amonkhet that much, I'm not too big on the top-down sets. The masterpieces look horrendous, which is really disappointing because there's some great cards and great artwork in the batch.
