A progress update from me~
The FATE grinding in FFXIV is almost over! At the time of this post, I have 14 FATEs to do. 14! It's taken me nearly 2 weeks to grind out the 1000 I need for the trophy, but I am finally almost there! After this I just need to do 40-odd Guildhests - which I shouldn't have to queue too long for, being a Tank class character - cut down about 800 trees, and wait until November 22nd (I think; my count might be a bit off) to get the 1000 levequests out of the way. Fortunately I won't need to play every day for those; I can just let them build up and clear them every week or so. So very close now! It's been...moderately fun, I guess? "Addicting" might be a better word.
I'm on trophy cleanup in Dishonored too, should have that done in a few days. Just need to finish the game without buying any abilities, then go back and pick up a few power-related trophies. I forgot how gruesome this game could be...I've frequently been slicing off heads in sword fights. The grisly part is you can pick the heads up. I've been chucking them at other guards to get their attention, haha. High Chaos means the levels are crawling with plague rat swarms, too. Not having Blink 2 is highly inconvenient for taking the stealthy path, so I've just been cleaving my way through people instead. I'm supposed to do it in High Chaos this time anyway. I'm leaving the DLC alone, because I will never be able to get Void Star. It's kinda soured me on the whole thing to be honest, so I'll settle with platting it and having done with it.
I should have everything I want to get done out of the way by the 16th though, which is the main thing. I want to sink myself completely into Tales of Zestiria - despite my general lack of excitement for it - and Dragon Quest Heroes. I'm also getting cravings for Bloodborne right now, so I might start that later.
Disgaea 4 is...slowing. I need to grind a bit, but there isn't a convenient map to do it on, so I'm kinda flailing about with it. As soon as Desco gets Yog-Sothoth I will be good to go, but it's the getting there that's the problem. I'm anticipating a slightly quicker post-game grind/preparation this time around though, because I've abused the Friend Pirate function outrageously. Thanks to the generosity of a couple of people, I have 12 level 1 Clerics sitting in my base...with +9 skills, Peta-level spells, "a lot" of Mana (it's so high the game can't fit the number into the box, haha) and 300% aptitudes. Ohoho. Once I get some levelled weapons on those and reincarnate them...
...also, I find it extremely funny that I passed the Meaver swimsuit bill with something like 92% approval, but that I have a 7% or less approval rating if I want to try changing her back. I dunno why I find that so funny, but I do. Hey-ho. It'd be nice if my approval for Mt. Ordeal was higher, though. That'd solve all my grinding problems. But there is no way I can bribe or force my way through that one just yet. Guess we'll do it the hard way. I'm only on Chapter 5 right now anyway, I should probably finish the story first. Although I still need to grind to do so...damnit, D4.
My 3DS isn't exactly collecting dust, but I'm hopping between so many games I'm not really making any progress on any of them, haha. I might settle on one eventually, but I'm more inclined to wait until I get Triforce Heroes next month before I put my Vita down and focus on my more neglected handheld. xD
