Also for some reason this episode has the dog's thoughts voiced, a thing the series has done like once before in a random episode of Max Heart iirc.

As one does.

What it's like to be in your thirties:

One more time! Pretty Cure Metamorphose! #precure #fanart #yesprecure5 #Yes！プリキュア5 ##プリキュア

Now they're making me do the bad stealth mode twice in one quest. Rude.

ハートキャッチプリキュア!

This episode's word count is like 40% kyun-kyuns.

Available in all good toy stores etc etc.

Meroron was not here for any of the previous "what does that even mean?" episodes.

i always forget to draw msq stuff but everytime they zoomed out i would giggle bc this was all i could see 💀 to (accidentally) be on lala too was incredible timing 🤭

Aria of Sorrow is pretty good. Maybe a little easier than I was expecting (I recall Ecclesia being quite tough but it's been a while) and I kinda wish there were more actual unique bosses since the ones there are are really cool whereas the ones that are just regular enemies are all kinda lame.

One down, eleven to go.

Well I won. Julius mode complete. That was surprisingly quick. He's kinda overpowered so you get to kerbstomp most bosses and it's fun to just divekick and uppercut around the castle ignoring most of the enemies and there's no real reason to take any detours.

Oh turns out the normal final boss has a *really* awkward hitbox if you're using a whip. Joy.

Tsuchinoko still real though.

Julius mode's kinda interesting for not really giving you any specific reason to explore the whole castle again. The bosses drop orbs that increase your stats but he has no gear/souls/items so there doesn't seem to be a reason not to just kill the bosses then upercut your way to the top floor.

Game was pretty short so I'll probably do the Julius playthrough as well, dunno if I'll bother with hard mode for now.

I like how they implemented this like this instead of just having you like, pick from a menu.

Got the true ending. Final boss lived up to its name, there sure was a lot going on at least. I had enough super potions to just kinda tank it without having to learn the fight much though.

Well that's another super long term ffxiv goal checked off.

It's real.

Well I got an ending but I assume there has to be another one I can unlock somehow because that was very clearly going "hey there's more to this".

Somehow didn't see this coming.

For a given value of ultimate.

Another very cool boss.

There we go. Wasn't *too* bad after I figured out I could dash into his charges to avoid them but I still sure did use 9 potions.

Pretty sure I do have to beat Death to progress and it's kind of wild how much of a difficulty spike he is compared to previous bosses which were largely huge pushovers.

Strong contender for actual most important ability.

New type of bisexuality dropped

Got to phase 2 on the second attempt and lmao. Definitely coming back here later though he hits so hard.

While I have only played one other game in the series it does feel a little early to be running into this guy (he kicked my ass).

Also a very cool enemy design.

This was definitely the coolest boss so far.

"Well you sure are big". And then I hit it and saw its name.

i could not give one single fuck about immigration and never have my entire life. to care, even in a ‘reasonable’ oh there should be proper checks and balances way is to be, rudely, the dumbest person alive. literally what difference is it to you

I don't think they should sell sweets with chase rares.

Ah, the most important ability.

Theoretical Europe.

Oh good it accepts d-pad inputs fine so the faulty stick isn't actually an issue and I don't have to suffer the keyboard controls after all.

So the keyboard control scheme is a) not very good b) cannot be rebound c) I have not found a way to get the same to not display xbox controller prompts regardless of what input you're using.

I think the left stick on my gamepad is starting to have issues, it doesn't always properly detect up/right inputs lately. Which is problematic here because it's causing Soma to constantly crouch when moving forward. Maybe I'll just use the keyboard.

I like this dumbass already.

This is quite a lot of text going past fairly quickly and that must have been fun to try and read on a GBA screen.

Well I was going to Castlevania but then I suddenly had wiki stuff to do for that game I don't play anymore (it was time sensitive voice archival stuff so fair enough).

I was indeed right at the end of Fragments.

SC's Estelle Bright! (can't wait for the SC remake!!)

a halmarut+bucceelyx i don’t feel like working on anymore… #ffxiv #art
