   I don't even play any of this gacha nonsense but I just don't get it. it used to be widely understood that butt is how you sell things. why is it that suddenly it's an endless struggle just to have some butt in your face. and once you have it there, it could go at any second if you're not vigilant. give the people what they want and THEY WILL SHOWER YOU WITH CASH. why is that such a hard thing now

     @sampo Huh, I was excited but now I'm not sure. I finally see the follow in my notifications but when I click your bio it doesn't set "follows you!"
     
     It still says "request sent" for me too, let me fuck with it a bit.

     @druid I got to the part where you mentioned "lady knight" and was like oh, that's where this is coming from.
     
     I guess I'll check it out, it doesn't cost much. I've just been struggling so much to play games recently. I've had some issues with sleeping and working too much

     @sampo I was in the same position, so I watched a "before you buy" review about it and it convinced me to take the plunge. I feel glad I bought it, but use cdkeys if you do!
     
     Pros:
     * It's a real JRPG. There is no gachaslop or other shit.
     * The graphics, music, character designs and writing are all great. (For the most part, sometimes the dialogue lapses into "anime saying nothing dialogue" for a few lines but I think that's just how Japanese people talk.)
     * The combat is great, with a ridiculous amount of potential for customising and playing your own way. Each character has unique combat gimmicks too.
     * Kisara is a PREMIUM lady knight and her ass is great.
     
     Cons:
     * It's a weeb game, so suspension of disbelief is required. How does the protagonist eat through his mask? Why are some slave communities virtually unsupervised? Why does a deadpan serious game about slavery let me put animal ears on everyone?
     * The autism is almost overwhelming if you commit to managing everything manually. The party AI customisation alone is very deep, there are a lot of skills and potentials for clever combos (have the swordsman launch an enemy and quickly have the markswoman shoot it down, etc.) My advice is just to swallow your pride and be content with automating things that feel like too much. (I for instance leave AI customisation largely alone and give general commands like "go all out" or "focus on healing.)
     * The price model for the game is stupid, there are 4 or 5 versions. All the "deluxe DLC is unnecessary, but make sure you get the Beyond the Dawn version of the game, it's NOT just more outfits and shit, it's about 20 hours of additional story and quests and stuff.
     
     My advice is to make it an issue of behavioural activation. Buy it and commit to PLAYING IT. Dust off the gaming PC for real. Let it take over a few days in a row. That's what I did and it really paid off.
