Gee, if only the event were open for two months

how much youkai currency do you get for doing FATES, like plenty plenty or not so much and i have to grind kinda hard if i want more than one set?

Cost increases per minion that you buy, and you need to grind out Fates with the correct minion to get a weapon

I've done 3 and haven't gotten any weapon currency yet so the event's busted and worthless imo

I just checked my yokai spreadsheet from the last time they had this event, and it took me 45 days of daily grinding to get everything lmao, not including the initial grind to get the minions

this is even worse than i could've imagined, but maybe if my brain wasn't broken from doing 2.x relics i would feel differently.

here's my chart from last time, 222 medals over a month and a half. I like ff14 a lot and I'm glad I did it because the yokai stuff is insanely good, but gently caress that event lmao. I didn't record the actual number of fates I ran but the drop rate is about 33% so 666 fates @ 5-10 minutes each + travel time = 100+ hours of grinding

I just rage quit FF12 because the Pharos dungeon bit is boring as gently caress and i apparently hosed something up and got banished to a place where you have to reload your last save if you gently caress up.

Nah, you're grand. I'll just play fun games instead. Pity, i was enjoying the game up until this tedious slog.

I made my own spreadsheet to track stuff because I was gonna go insane if I didn't have some idea of where I was at in the process + its easy to mess up and waste time grinding the wrong medals if you aren't organized about it

I'm pretty sure that was by design because they know how evil the event they made was lmao

That's the last dungeon in the game and there's nowhere where you're forced to reload your save.

Really? Don't know what i managed to gently caress up then because i was stuck in this one small area with respawning enemies that wrecked my poo poo despite me being horribly over-leveled for everything else up to that.

I was sort of bored of the game anyway to be honest so i doubt i'll go back to it. It's was just a bunch of long, tedious dungeons with gently caress all story for the last 3rd of the game.

I have Kiwami and Everybodys Golf arriving tomorrow as well.

I should quit my job and be a video games reviewer man because I can at least beat a tutorial. I can demand the highest salary in the place.

Also I beat Risky Boots, and while it was short it was a good time, bad bosses aside. The various movement skills they give you are fun and have a good feel. I'd quite like it if they released smaller things like this more frequently, but I kinda feel like this is the last we are realistically getting aside from whatever remaining kickstarter goals two years from now.

The guy playing is really bad but the game itself looks terrible because they just seem to throw a constant fuckton of enemies at you rather than crafting a decent, challenging level.

The game was built for single screen encounters so they probably had a hell of a time getting standard platform features bolted onto it

I think it was originally a boss rush game but people got mad so they made...that

I feel bad for the cuphead guys, cause they ended up delaying their game by two years, remortgaged their houses, and totally compromised the design of their game because dummies had a negative reaction when they revealed it was a boss rush thing

if they had just released it 2 years ago it would have been good + they wouldn't have ruined their lives

I am not going to rag on someone for being slow to pick up on a tutorial, the learning process is different for everyone. I will say that you'd think someone who plays games for a living would have a more robust skillset to draw from, but eh.

I am getting tired of this kind of anti-comedy entertainment that's in vogue about "Watch how bad we are at video games," the majority of Giant Bomb's series this year are basically that and it's somewhat hollow at this point

There should be a game called RPG Character Creator where you spend your playtime endlessly customizing all the little details about your dude with rich origin stories and features, then you send him out on a quest and the rest of the game is automated for you. After a few days or so you can check back and see how he did.

You can see him slowly work through it, like he tries ducking to see if that does anything in the situation, and when he figures out you have to jump dash it takes him a couple tries to dial in the timing
