"which mechanic would you remove from the game and why is it misdirection" okay no it's…… it's okay if I can do a straight line but for this patch's dungeon's second boss…

I got the scouting top from my first run, at least! shame it's not dyable, but I like green on k'pandolu, so that's worked out

I guess the pattern looks… theoretically fun? but in execution, not so much… shukuchi would leave me with the damage down but. man.

glad the mount tilt is lessened! I figure that was for realism, but… it felt bad.

fighting in the hospital section was definitely kind of… zombie horror. I kind of wonder what happened? …then again, horror is that kind of… fascinated but I would really prefer not to area so uhhh. it's fine… (but also, those were people still in… preparation, right…? oh man.)

k'pandolu is basically continuing to be done with solution nine (I gave her a dislike of continued artificial light, from me). the stuff with koana was great! I figure… it's not exactly what her family did, but. feels familiar in ways?

and he got resolution, so. good!

FFXIV threw zombie horror at you??

It sure did pull a Resident Evil on us out of nowhere, and we're so early in the plot we don't know why yet

Pats gently

kkkinda yeah! …I mean this isn't the first time there have been zombies, really? but this definitely evoked RE which I found particularly unpleasant. …mostly because of the blood and the big ones, I think, because now I'm thinking about it, there is pharos sirius…

I wonder if they will go into it more? i'm guessing it's due to whatever accident, but also that it went well enough as the background for the 8-man raids. so it could go either way…

thank you

Ick I would not want to be blindsided by that! Hope the plot is worth it in the end

Yeah before now the zombies have just been people with silly walk cycles and grey skin textures that look a bit dusty, while these were Obviously Rotted in an Upsetting Way and while I loved how well it was done I can see how it would make people squeamish

hopefully! I think, maybe since the first group is creatures, too…

Yeah they spring dogs on you and then the people

So very Resident Evil
