Fucked it a bit this month, I think.
I almost forgot to write this because I accomplished basically nothing I said in my last post that I wanted to do. I was busy scattering my attention between a bunch of things for October, whoops. I’ve done a bit more melding on my crafters, but it’s not done, and I have no materia stash to speak of. At least the upcoming crafting set will be good for the better part of a year. I did at least clear and finally get good at EX1. It’s really funny how with a savage geared party you now beat it before the end of the first ice/thunder phase. Completely braindead fight, thanks. (lying) (took forever to learn ice and thunder mechanics)
I’ve gotten a decent way through my shared FATEs from getting stuff for the materia grind, but I know we’re gonna lose our instances with 7.1, so the grind will get more annoying after this… fuck all life. I’ve never finished shared FATEs for any expac because they suck and I hate them.
I did hit my 3,000 days subscribed, though. This game has cost me everything.
Also the 7.1 trailer makes it seem like the MSQ will be abysmal, so we’ll see how that plays out in a few weeks. I was going to say that I’ll be skipping the MSQ on patch night to go and do the alliance raids instead, but the FC leader pointed out that the first alliance raid is usually MSQ gated, so I’m going to have to sit through Alexandrians experiencing grief for the first time. Very sad. Please let the alliance raids be good, both mechanically and narratively. We only have the trial series left after this for them to slip some decent writing into a major Dawntrail story component.
