   Devastated to learn this dungeon goes on for a entire 30 floor. It's just being kicked in the pants the entire way down into said dungeon. At this rate, I might be lucky to finish The After Years by June's end. :blobcatsadreach:

     @silver_huskey Wow, and here I thought you'd have this finished by now (and you probably did too).

     Yeah, I can see second-hand trauma being a thing. Hopefully your wife didn't go too crazy?

     Nope, I didn't even bother with those challenge dungeons. I am hurting because of it. I'm going to power through, though. If my co-writer on Damage Control can finish this game without doing any of the bonus stuff, so can I.

     @silver_huskey@fandom.ink The final dungeon suuuucks. I never actually played it, I just watched my wife play it, but I still have some leftover trauma from it.
     
     Part of the difficulty is because of the episodic nature of the original mobile/Wii release of the game; every individual chapter had a challenge dungeon at the end of it, and they basically expected players to grind that challenge dungeon between episodes. If you did that, it was perfectly reasonable to have a party of characters in their 60's with adamant armor before going into the final dungeon.
     
     The later re-releases of the game got rebalanced a little bit, but not enough to really make up for the difference that all those levels and equipment made.

     @minneyar That is dedication. I played FF4 on the PSP found it to be an enjoyable game. I played The After Years as a challenge for a different co-writer on Damage Control. Spite and determination are the only things keeping me going now. :blobcat_throw:

     @silver_huskey@fandom.ink She definitely went a little crazy. I think she only made it through because she's a huge FF4 fan...
