Did the first set of quests and...ehhhhhhhh. Not really a fan of the heists and will pretty much only be returning to the places surrounding them for quests. I don't like fighting NPCs in these games, 99 opponents is enough, thanks. It's still fun enough and the new weapons are decent even if they don't add much to the overall feel like last seasons broken shit. Battle pass is fun with some decent cosmetics. Honestly just looking forward to the update that gets rid of/shrinks the shitty forest area. Also you're losing a point for reminding me Ice Spice is a thing. Fuck you.

P.S between the manga's final saga going strong, the introduction of Gear 5 in the anime, and the well received live action series, this is the season we get a One Piece collab, right? RIGHT?

Holy shit what an ending to this series. A last run of the series full of fun callbacks and set pieces to everything else. Xenoblade 1 I think was the first game that clicked with me as art rather than something for fun, so seeing colony 9 and Valek mountain again was incredible. The 2 callbacks were also there but it's 2 so I don't really care, sorry.
But the story is what carries it. Being an amazing prequel to 3 with Shulk and Rex (who's actually an insanely good character now, congrats) with Matthew also being an incredibly good protagonist, even if he is your standard headstrong Shounen protag. A is also a good character, but Nikol and Glimmer aren't really given much time in the spotlight. They aren't bad characters by any means, but rather forgettable.
Overall, it's the finale to Xenoblade. And a damn good one. A series of highs and one extreme low like holy shit how do you fuck up that badly, and I'm excited for what Takahashi and Monolith Soft do next

Let me tell you a story.

This was the first season I got the battle pass for with v-bucks I just got by playing for free. I finished it and got all the skins and whatever (the one that looks kinda like Bjork being the only one I really like) and the extra v-bucks for whatever cool things came up.

But then my brother keeps pestering me to gift him an emote. I tell him to fuck off at first but he annoys me enough and says he'll buy me the next battle pass if I get it. Fuck it, it's a profit. I'll do it.

Then the Jujutsu Kaisen collab happens, and I'm several v-bucks short of the temp battle pass with Yuji, which I could have bought no problem if I just maintained my position of 'get fucked bro' and because of FOMO and Epics temporary skin bullshit I caved and spent 7 euro on this game.

Moral of the story is don't be nice to your siblings.
