#every Important Fight lasts 20 goddamn minutes and has MAYBE 10 minutes of material in it.
Text
hey. hey. hey. hey. hey so in ff16 they give you a flash step that goes forward but when you're a big monster (happens for setpiece boss fights only) they give you a roller skating move that goes sideways instead. but then there's a fight where they give your monster form a forwards flash step too.
and IN THAT SAME BOSS FIGHT, you need to do it Twice in a row to close the distance between "outside the big AOE attack" and "guy you need to punch after he does the AOE" & this sums up basically everything you need to know about how AGGRESSIVELY MEDIOCRE the combat really is in this game.
anybody who tells you it's good is either lying or is remembering 1 of like 2 and a half really nicely-tuned fights, one of which was optional. and the health bars were still too fucking stubborn in all of them.
#this is not a Dark Soul Get Good situation it's a 'okay. okay. okay I get it. okay. OKAY' type of thing#clive can't decide whether to have fun Big Steppy mobility or to be a grounded sword fighterman who has to aim carefully.#every Important Fight lasts 20 goddamn minutes and has MAYBE 10 minutes of material in it.#you can only equip 2x3 elemental attacks at once (WHY!!!) and if you want to mix and match more than 3 elements#you have to spend an INORDINATE NUMBER of skill points to do that.#rando 'ten soldiers' type enemies melt like butter under your fire AOE to the point that they implemented waves#to stop you from trivializing EVERY fight out in the field. yet somehow EVERY BOSS can take like 30 of those and still not DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!#and if YOU die because you got SO BORED that you STOPPED CARING ENOUGH to NOT DIE#there's no way to restart WITHOUT BONUS HEALS except to quit out to the main menu and load your save.#DESIGN BY COMMITTEE. MMO GRINDSET. WHO PLAYTESTED THIS. I'M GOING TO START BITING.

I was tagged by @youre-on-a-starship :D <3 Thanks love! (Also your questions are amazing! Setting the bar high :P )
Alex’s Questions:
If you could go on a week-long camping trip with three people, real, fictional, or both, who would you go with?
Holy crap this is hard. I’ll have you know I answered everything else then came back to this.
First off King Richard III because I NEED to know what happened during his reign and he’s a warrior, so he knows how to rough it. Okay never mind suddenly this became easy: CHAUCER AND SHAKESPEARE. Shakespeare and Richard would most likely start full out fighting, but hot DAMN that would be the most bawdy, hilarious week ever.
(Sherlock Holmes, Kirk, Neil Gaiman, and Tom Hiddleston were all considered but fell to the might of the MEDIEVAL/EARLY MODERN WRITERS!)
If you could instantly master one physical skill, what would it be?
Quarterstaff fighting. No question here - I mean mastering all the levels, potential acrobatics included.
You’ve got a half hour to kill before your appointment and your phone’s dead. What do you do?
Dude this happens so much in my life. It’s pretty standard honestly - I read a book, or write my novel (which I ALWAYS carry lol - I legit have a pen and 2+ notebooks on me at all times).
What’s your alignment in DnD terms (Lawful/Neutral/Chaotic Good/Neutral/Evil)? What do you wish it was?
I think I’m neutral good. I don’t believe in following rules for rules’ sake, and I do enjoy breaking them when it won’t hurt others.
Honestly, I’m pretty damn happy with what I’ve got :)
What’s that one weird film you watched on repeat when you were a kid?
I don’t think any of the films I watched when I was a kid were exceptionally weird - I was obsessed with The Little Mermaid for a long time, I wanted to be a mermaid so badly :P
What’s your go-to style?
Leather jacket, combat-style boots (I wear them pretty much every day), black jeans, black shirt, BRIGHT jewellery. I basically use my clothes as a palette for my accessories.
Do it for the vine. What’s the craziest thing you’ve done just to do it?
Saw that it was raining outside, and walked out into it, fully clothed. I stood in the rain for a full 20 minutes, and though it’s really not that crazy, it was one of the most freeing experiences.
What never fails to put a smile on your face?
Historical memes. Any kind of medieval history meme will have me grinning instantly. Stick that shit on my birthday card and I’m yours.
Who’s you’re favourite author and why?
Modern: Neil Gaiman. I considered Rowling, but I have yet to dislike something Gaiman has written, and I’m not the hugest fan of The Casual Vacancy. Also, when I read Neverwhere, it was like seeing what I wanted my writing to be.
Historical: Chaucer. Shakespeare has him running a VERY close race, but FUCKING. CHAUCER. GODDAMN. JUST PLEASE READ TROILUS AND CRISEYDE - HE HAS TAKEN THE SOURCE MATERIAL FROM THE ITALIAN AND CHANGED IT SO THERE’S AN UNDERLYING COMMENTARY ON HOW CRISEYDE IS ACTUALLY NOT A FICKLE, STEREOTYPICAL ‘WOMAN’, AND INSTEAD FIGHTS AGAINST THE CONSTRAINING RULES IMPOSED BY SOCIETY ALL THE WHILE BEING PURSUED BY A WEAK-WILLED, CLINGY, ROYAL BASKET-CASE OF A MAN AIDED BY HER (POSSIBLY-INCESTUOUS) UNCLE.
ALSO THE CANTERBURY TALES HAVE MY WHOLE HEART.
What book actually changed your life?
I’m going to have to pick two, because they changed my life in very different ways.
First: If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things by Jon McGregor. I fell in love with the book’s style immediately, but there was something about the message that resonated with me. I’d been struggling to allow myself to pursue the field I loved, because I couldn’t see how it was useful, or how it could help people (which is really important to me in my life’s work). This book’s ability to equate everything at the level of beauty was the first step towards seeing the worth in what I could do by teaching my field. Thank you Jon McGregor, I made the right choice.
Second, A Paperbag Princess. It was by asking me a question related to that book that I met one of my best friends in grade two.
What’s the last fanfic you read? Link it maybe?
Oh sweet lord, that god I followed up my earlier ones with fluff XD I am currently in a giant Scotty hole and the last one I read was: @kaitymccoy123‘s Scotty motivation ficlet! Honestly it was so sweet, I agree that Scotty would 100000% give the best hugs. (Fuck, a Scottish accent, sense of humour, and hugs???? I’m so done for.) https://kaitymccoy123.tumblr.com/post/159762100007/motivation-ficlets-scotty
