All hero and ascension quests done. While I think many shouldn’t have been optional due to how they built the world, I left fully satisfied. A game about what it means to live, and conquering fear and doubt means a lot to me after going through one of my life’s darkest spots. There are two bosses in the last chapter I consider truly rushed, but god. It’s so cathartic playing this at the end of a series long marathon. I adore the class system, the party, all of it. I’d certainly get the disappointment with how quickly it wraps had I not done the hero quests. But I did them, and think they really create one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had. I even cried over straight pairings! Twice! Like not just some tear shedding like some blubbering mess shit! So you know this shit’s good!
