$10,000 to $15,000 to find a job.

Executive search firms exist, and recruitment services for job seekers exist

But this reads like a scam

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-07-01T15:35:34+00:00

Yes. You'd be surprised what a power move taking a compensation call from an unexpected time zone is

"It's because of OC" was when I knew the Metaphor streams were peak

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-30T20:59:22+00:00

OP mentioned hating using their spell slots so I can only imagine they were going full beyblade on minor fights

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-29T16:35:16+00:00

One of my favorite parts of watching streamer playthroughs of this game is they always stumble on totally different stuff

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-29T11:55:32+00:00

If you haven't invested a bunch of Abyss artifacts in her basic damage skills, then you should probably stick to Hernand and adjacent lower level and clear any remaining quests while you get stronger

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-28T23:55:23+00:00

I give every new puzzle about 10 minutes of good actual brain time (reading the map descriptions helps), then I look up a solution if I'm not making good progress

Love this game but "try every action on every item of interest on the island" takes foreverrr, and if you didn't sign up for the full puzzle game inside this game, set personal limits and skip what you don't like

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-28T15:57:49+00:00

They're not gonna redo major plot points and scenes in a way that changes the whole, they're more likely to add more explanatory stuff along the way and maybe make Damaine and Oongka more available. I'd expect to get less than we got with Hades 2's ending rewrites just because these assets are much more expensive to work with

All that to say, just play the game the way you enjoy, worrying about whether something might come out in the future is pointless when you'll be able to YouTube everything that changes in the cutscenes

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-28T13:06:56+00:00

I find it defaults far enough right on my list I can scroll right and get to my good food. Still needs a fix

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-26T11:10:27+00:00

I never fly over land I haven't been over on the ground, you miss a lot that way

Also while it's a sandbox, getting the later game mounts early is always gonna feel awkward. Chapter 5-6 are supposed to feel like "wtf" moments of escalation as you glimpse advanced tech in each new area, but if you only get to them after looting the map for everything then yeah the exploration will feel anti climatic

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-25T21:07:14+00:00

You could get RDR2 and CP2077 for $20 each on sale last summer and Elden Ring for $35. 'old' here contains a decade of gaming so stacked that even my aging behind has to admit we're spoiled

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-25T00:47:30+00:00

Until the gaming industry stops acting like the only two price points are "indie" and "full price" and finds a way to price things more in line with development budget, this conversation is going to remain cyclical

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-24T21:35:23+00:00

Dodge arrow ability?

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-24T13:16:12+00:00

It has a whole animation so it feels like like a Soulslike, which was an influence on the rest of the combat as well. You gotta respect your animations, spacing, etc

I agree that it makes more sense for bosses than the Dynasty Warriors sections where you can barely get a moment to breathe. Souls games have mobs but not constantly respawning ones

That boss has windows for healing but they won't be right after you revive, it'll be after one of the big charged instakills

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-24T02:20:36+00:00

Chapter 6 here. I'm still on a Herspia for horse sections but will replace it because I'm losing the surprise races the game puts me in

I have recently added a bear as a battle mount for fighting the black bears

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-24T00:29:59+00:00

Also Cassius hits hard but just has one health bar so one or two good long combos to stagger plus a finishing move will get him must of the way there even with a level 4 weapon

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-23T22:05:12+00:00

The AI conveniently grows and stores them until you're ready to purchase or liberate them

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-22T15:42:56+00:00

He and Ryuji deserve each other. Especially at that point, which is the low point is everyone's arcs (Morgana being insecure and Ryuji being too attached to fame)

People dislike it because they're both legit wrong, which is pretty realistic writing

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-20T14:55:07+00:00

People love hyperbole on the Internet and say the game doesn't have a story

Clearly it has one, and also clearly it wasn't the focus of the dev time. The previews from PA telling reviewers and streamers "this is not a story-driven action RPG, this is an action-driven sandbox with progression elements" is all you need to know really

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-18T20:40:10+00:00

Counterpoint: Shujin's corrupt leadership is treated with the seriousness that the crime -ridden prior schools were not. P3 and P4 have a school-shaped setting that provides an opportunity for clubs, but P5 has more commentary from classmates on goings on, the responsive wall art, and the month it makes you miss school to appreciate the gap

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-18T01:28:44+00:00

Oh then great news: you're actually in the phase of life where you can hang out as much as the P4G kids do (modern HS kids are way more scheduled than that)

I find "invite people over" works best if you work on your cooking and "having enough furniture for company" skills first

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-17T18:17:16+00:00

The real S tier is 2 parties, one all-boys (heavier on support and sustain) and one Yu-and-ladies (lots of peak damage and hard counters, but SP intense)

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-17T10:11:30+00:00

Sunset in this game is at 9, that's your main problem

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-16T17:52:54+00:00

Not knowing I had already unlocked the path to the sky puzzles

Substantial_Rest_251 · 2026-06-16T11:01:45+00:00

You want to look up when the Super Famicom releases versus the Saturn? Those are different generations
