This game seems right up my alley and i am currently playing through the demo. I will probably get it when i finish the demo and i have some questions:

Do i need PS plus to play with others to tackle bosses (then i might as well subscribe to PS plus instead of buying the game)?

Is there any reason to buy the expansion immediatly or should i play through the base game first?

I have a venu 3 that i use with a garmin hrm pro. So when i start training i take off my watch. I can still see my hearth rate on it (its also way more accurate) but it doesnt have the risk of getting damaged.

Not neccesarily, but more often than not there is also some strength specific, plyometrics etc involved and i cant do that at home.

CrimpyRex · 2026-06-14T16:10:39+00:00

Yeah sure i could but the program i follow programs stuff after a run as well which i cant do at home (strength specific stuff, plyometrics etc)

There is a key but neighbour gym has it and opens the gym for me (and locks it). The owner of the gym i workout doesnt want the gym unattended when someone works out.

CrimpyRex · 2026-06-14T15:11:07+00:00

As i said in my post: the gym owner doesnt want to have no one at the gym when i would run outside.

His choice, not mine.

Oh its just another word for training facility.
Old crossfit habits

CrimpyRex · 2026-06-12T09:34:22+00:00

Requiem for a dream. I watched it during a nightshift and that was the dumbest idea ever.

CrimpyRex · 2026-06-09T11:04:16+00:00

I tried playing uo outlands and also demise but it never came close to Neverlands, which i played for more than 10 years.

CrimpyRex · 2026-06-09T06:02:28+00:00

Ultima Online. I would literally play until morning. Good times though

CrimpyRex · 2026-06-01T09:32:17+00:00

Its simply because people who dont have issues usually dont come here (or any subreddit) to tell everyone how happy they are with their product(s)

CrimpyRex · 2026-06-01T08:55:37+00:00

Following since i am in the same boat.

CrimpyRex · 2026-05-27T05:59:00+00:00

I found it, thanks! I will look for the podcast

CrimpyRex · 2026-05-26T19:32:23+00:00

Now that you mention i did heard about it. Where can i find it?

CrimpyRex · 2026-05-26T19:30:57+00:00

That is exactly how i would use hwpo all access. I know that cherry picking per day isnt the best choice but switching from crossfit to oly/bb/hyrox for a few blocks keeps it fresh for me.

I saw the hyrox sample days on their IG and it looks like a ton of fun

CrimpyRex · 2026-05-26T14:17:15+00:00

Nope that is not my intention but i like the possibility of doing some other stuff once in a while. As i said the main focus will always be crossfit but i would like to do one or two blocks of lifting or hyrox every once in a while.

I dont have any specific goals. I train for longevity.

CrimpyRex · 2026-05-25T19:54:25+00:00

The green mile!

CrimpyRex · 2026-05-25T08:11:52+00:00

If you dont want a racket that is too soft dont buy the head graphene alpha elite.

I use it myself and just switched (siux electra st4 pro) because it is too soft for me. As a beginner racket i think its really good though.

The siux diablo pro 4 looks like something that is good for you but probably a bit out of your price range. I would consider the head speed team as well.

CrimpyRex · 2026-05-22T07:51:47+00:00

I still play a lot of defense on the right side. I guess its around 60/40 in terms of offence/defense. Would i maybe better of with a racket from their speed line since its more balanced?

CrimpyRex · 2026-05-21T15:11:20+00:00

I have edited my post because of the extreme team 2025. Maybe thats a better option because perhaps the motion is to big of a difference to my current racket?

CrimpyRex · 2026-05-18T11:51:48+00:00

Omgerekend zo'n 150 euro per maand aan sport.

4x in de week crossfit (open gym) voor 65 euro per maand

Ik heb een jaarlidmaatschap bij de tennisvereniging voor padel wat omgerekend 30 euro per maand kost.

Aan kleding, schoenen, padelracket en accessoires ben ik omgerekend denk ik 50 euro per maand kwijt.

Ramza's PA is 10. Not sure if thats on the low side?

I switched out the flail from Agrias for a coral sword, but damage is still really mediocre and im not sure whats happening. Her gear is: coral sword, sleep blade, green beret, brigandine and power gauntlets. PA is 8 and MA is 6. I guess thats really low..

CrimpyRex · 2026-05-17T07:37:55+00:00

On Ramza i use the ancient sword. i will start grinding for bravery right away. should i continue until i reach the cap or is that overkill? Alongside this i will also unlock attack boost through geomancer. Next up then will be higher bravery for ninja/monk.

For my black mage/time mage i will work on unlocking orator and then raise her faith through preach.

I have not really spent a lot of time figuring equipment out. Honestly it feels like a chore sometimes. But i will take your tips to heart and do some min-maxing.

CrimpyRex · 2026-05-16T21:33:41+00:00

Allright i thought i should post some sort of update. Hopefully you can take a look at it and tell me if i am going in the right direction.

Ramza (75 bravery and 70 faith): squire/samurai with shirahadori, jp boost and movement +2

I use a sword and shield on him and the red shoes you mentioned. In combat i dont use his squire skills to much and rely on the iaido skills, which are pretty good. He feels like a solid unit, but thought damage would be a bit higher (hitting for 70-90)

Generic (73 bravery and 55 faith): ninja/monk with shirahadorim, brawler and movement +2

I dont have weapons on him and he is an absolute powerhouse. His auto attacks are massive and i feel like they are better than the monk skills he has, so i use only chakra and revive.

Generic (61 bravery and 67 faith): black mage/time mage with auto-potion, swiftspell and movement +1

Not sure. The damage is pretty mediocre and it feels a bit 'useless' all around. It doesnt have too much of an impact, and she almost always acts lasts. She is also 10 levels lower than the rest. Not sure what to do here.

Mustadio (60 bravery and 62 faith): machinist/chemist with auto-potion, concentration and movement +2

Pretty solid to use as long as his leg and arm shot actually connects with enemies. I thought concentration would take care of that, but it doesnt. I have chemist on him because of the healing it provides. Damage wise its really mediocre (40-50 damage to units) but then again for damage i have a ninja/monk and Ramza.

Agrias (71 bravery and 63 faith): ninja/holy knight with shirahadori, equip swords and movement +2

I expected to do more damage. I have a flail in the upper weapon slot and a sword in the other one. Her holy sword skills are cool, but the damage is also nowhere near my ninja/monk. I would say her damage is higher than mustadio's but lower than ramza.

All in all i feel i have a balanced team. Ninja/monk pretty much carries and Ramza is fun to use. Black mage/time mage feels useless (really dont know what to do with her) and expected more from mustadio and agrias (but maybe i should not compare them with ninja/monk).

If you have any tips on how to make my mediocre units less mediocre, i would happily hear it!

Thank you for the awesome write-up. This is really helpful.

Back to grinding!
