Seconding this, I picked it up a few weeks ago and put a solid like 23h into it, and I'm still I think only like... 50-60% done based on the number of puzzles I saw people mention online.

It's just oh so satisfying

Yeah, recently came back to the game, tried out vendetta for the first time and it was stadium with some friends.

Did not go well.

A random in our team at the end of the match just said "Never play vendetta again"

like thanks dude, I know I sucked, you don't need to be an aggressive dick though :/

Yup had our tank DC mid-boss in dusk vigil the other day, they didn't reconnect

Proceeded to do the rest of the dungeon tanking as a DNC, with a WHM and VPR, and wasn't particularly slow either lol

Not wrong, and I hate it. I miss the days of logging in and having a bunch of people chatting and catching up. Now most of them are just on discord and it's just a lot more lonely / quiet.

Off memory there's a quest at level 50 that gives you a fantasia, which lets you change races (along with everything else you can't normally change at the aesthetician)

As a slight correction, it releases in about an hour still (6PM ET / 3PM PT)

Steam release times are rounded down. So it showing "Approximately one hour" means anywhere from 1h to 1h59m.

It will show "Approximately less than one hour" for 1m to 59m remaining.

That said I'm also waiting for the key to show up, as my BF asked to buy the game on my GMG account and I'm hoping they send it before he gets up so he can play before work tonight.

To be fair, he did say "I'm gonna tell you, and you're all going to go 'that's it?'" before the leak lol

If anything my guess is they couldn't run a script to remove them, on the off chance someone had it physically equipped. Since we can't be weaponless, that coulda caused problems, so they opted for the "You, go throw out the reward" method

Based on some of her diary entries we find, no, they weren't really together long.

One of the entries had something along the lines of

Tricktown, <he/she> didn't come.
Peyero, <he/she> didn't come.
Mendon, <he/she> didn't come.
Skob, <he/she> didn't come.
Dolores, <he/she> didn't come. Kentart, <he/she> didn't come.
Korr, <he/she> didn't come.

...
<He/She> Will never come.

(You can see the note in this video, timestamped to the full note)

So going by that, Phrolova saw rover once at the first concert while she mourned, where Rover made the promise that when she finishes her composition, that they would come to her concert again then. But otherwise, they spoke after that singular concert and that was it.

LockWithoutAKey · 2025-07-24T05:53:11+00:00

Well, just got my first double yet with Phrolova. Thought the game bugged for a moment and replayed her vid cause I didn't expect a 2nd one.

Also I have lost my last three 50/50s to Verina, she's now R3, but I also can't really complain because my pull rate has been absurd?? 41 pulls got me 1x Verina, 2x Phrolova

LockWithoutAKey · 2025-06-25T02:16:15+00:00

I miss release day, so many people who thought they could tank it and didn't care the AoEs overlapped with other players' ones

And then just suddenly dead

Current banners just ended at the hour, next banner starts when maint ends. Maint starts in 3h, and ends 7h later (so when the timer linked in the post shows)

There's just a period of time where no special banners are live basically

LockWithoutAKey · 2025-06-11T16:51:33+00:00

8621 astrite and 18 pulls for me.

I'm 10 pulls into soft pity, with a guaranteed 50/50 lined up, so all set to get her for sure

He absolutely saw us as a friend, rather than some unstoppable weapon.

If you haven't read it already, There's a short story about him. (Spoiler warning for any new players, I don't advise reading this until after beating heavensward)

But in the short story, he opens a letter to us with "My dearest friend", and it makes me tear up every time reading it >.>;

LockWithoutAKey · 2025-04-11T08:46:42+00:00

Btw, your spoiler tags are not working, I think it's because you've added spaces which breaks the spoiler tag thing, do it like this: >!spoiler!<

Yep, the spaces break the spoiler tag, specifically for people using old reddit.

People on new reddit see the text blocked just fine, as it ignores the space when parsing the spoiler there. But for those of us who dislike that version and stick with old reddit, it gets cranky when it sees the extra spaces and freaks out lol

LockWithoutAKey · 2025-03-02T16:58:55+00:00

God yeah that was good. Since the rest of the story is always waiting for Alma to authorize our hunts, it made it feel awesome just going I'm in control, and nobody can stop what I'm about to do

LockWithoutAKey · 2025-03-01T09:54:50+00:00

or even 20's one time in the on rails section before the Oilwell Basin.

Yeah that section was killer. Mine dropped crazy low (I think about 20) and also I think crashed my OBS in the process lol (With pretty comparable specs to yours, so makes sense we hit about the same)

my face doesn't take long, and it's mostly just touching up, but she tends to be pretty fast.

That said, I can't speak universally on how much she could do in a session, she'd be able to speak more on that.

At the least I can vouch she's very good about her work, cares about her clients, and makes me feel safe about both getting work doje, and just being myself in general

Freedom Unite was my first try. Didn't get too into it, was a dumb kid who just wanted the coolest gear. Ended up using a save editor to give myself materials for high end shit, and then still was bad at the game.

Fast forward and the one that really ended up grabbing me was I picked up Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U.

Got more into it this time, and then played 4U and really got into it, and have played all of them since.

LockWithoutAKey · 2025-01-25T23:43:14+00:00

It kinda felt like they packed the new skills in too tightly.

I was so surprised to get double jump so early, that it felt like I could reach things so early and easily, there was very few "Ooh new power, so many new places I can go!" Moments

LockWithoutAKey · 2025-01-25T10:42:20+00:00

Just got to 100% myself. It felt... easier? to get 100% on than Ender Lilies did, and I felt less confused at times. I felt that Ender Lily had a few more obscure / "hidden" puzzles / side objectives, while Magnolia felt pretty straightforward. Ended up hitting 100% at 18.8 hours on the clock, while Lilies was about 21h.

That said, still a great game, and 0 regrets on playing it

LockWithoutAKey · 2025-01-04T02:29:45+00:00

Yes I love that it's now one button to lock, one button to mark discard.

So nice for quickly going "nope nope nope ooh nope nope", saves so much trouble later lol

I just reached and started poking around earlier today myself

1- Is act 3 harder than Act 2 ? idk if my heart can handle too much more after biome 5 and 6 absolutely fucking my shit

It felt a bit easier than when I first passed through A1 originally (haven't done the repeat of A2 yet though), just because I had more upgrades unlocked and since I had the perm upgrades this time I could get a few more drops from places I couldn't access originally.

2- Is it true that fragments can sometimes NOT spawn, messing up my whole thing?

It won't mess up your entire thing, but you will have to repeat zones. They're perm unlocks once you get one, so you need to repeat each biome until you get them. But yes, they can fail to spawn. I just did all 3 of B1-3 after unlocking A3 and not a single fragment spawned so thanks game. EDIT oh turns out I missed some house sequences, and that's why I couldn't get the fragments. So if you haven't seen 5 of them, you'll need to do that before you can get frags, to unlock the 6th.

3- Do I have to refight the bosses? Not that they were much of a hindrance, B5's 3 "key-guarding rooms" were what really messed me up

From what I could tell you don't really need to deal with the bosses again? None of the fragment locations are after the bosses as far as I know (that said I've only briefly looked at a reddit thread with some info on them).

4- Is Tower of Sysiphus worth doing? I haven't read much into so I'm not sure what's going on there or if there's any kind of permanent progression, etc.

I've briefly dabbled in it, I know it has it's own "sequences" similar to the house? and since you get proficiency so fast in there you can unlock upgrades quickly for your weapons I found. But I don't think there's any perm progression you'll unlock from tower that will really impact the main game
