Created some EXP magic, and then slept at Altissia hotel (x3 XP) turned into 2 mil XP. Yowza
Easy to lvl up, but a pain to gather AP
I prioritized all the cheap things in ascension that passively give AP for doing stuff like riding a chocobo, using magic etc.
Also I like how in Chapter 8 the game suddenly has a monster fighting arena that is completely missable. And I have ascension abilities for racing a chocobo a thing that I have yet to unlock. The jank is strong in this game.
I'm kinda bummed that I went to a random outpost in like chapter 5 and bought weapons there and aside from the upgradeable stuff there isn't anything stronger. I've been using the same weapons for about 20 hours now.
Despite the fact that I'm level 50, I find that monsters and quests that are around level 38 or so are still challenging. Might be my fault for not better grasping the dodging mechanics of combat by now I guess. Spamming circle isn't enough though. This is probably why the first half of the Leviathan fight was so confusing for me. I couldn't figure out what to do.
My highlights are pretty much all the times I was out exploring or doing a simple quest, found a dungeon and went spelunking. I think I need to go back to the open world part as there are at least two Armiger weapons I didn't get (one I wasn't high enough level for, the other I didn't find).
