Soon as I got Esquie's ability to swim, I prolonged my game by wandering around and exploring the overworld. I found some records, beat some of the giant nevrons that were scattered around the Act 1 areas, then wandered around collecting skills for Monoco by fighting everything I could find. I've found a bunch of records, and decent chunk of journal entries along the way.

Anyway, the downside is I grinded a bit too much. I sorta steamrolled the Visages and I started the area with the dancing nevrons, and I can beat the normal enemies just shooting at them without ever usinig any actual skills or actions at all. But I guess that means it's time to advance the story. Even when I'm running over enemies, I have fun just exploring.

P.S. that one rock that you have to dodge around 100 times before he self-destructs is a fun fight even though it's simple.

Is it just me or do all the other characters have synergies except the main dude. He is kind of buns

Its funny how it never occurred to me in the moment why that was when it came to Gustave.

Literally DO EVERYTHING. I'm telling you. DO EVERYTHING before you fight that end boss.

Im 78 hours in.

Spoiler

I've scoured the entire map. I went back to the Monolith and beat that boss that appears at the top. Now im able to triple hit Then i started farming Renoir Drafts.
I still have to beat that flying Serpent...i tried to fight him early on and got him down to 1/4 health but i could never time his explosion after he absorbs your AP...

after that i think im ready to end the game

FYI this might be the GOAT game to play after taking an edible...

That's a great fight...but I actually think

Spoiler

Clea is one of the best fights in the game. If not the best. Simon is the biggest test of skill, but thematically Clea and Alicia are peak.

I thought i was doing something when i got his health down the first time...then the cut scene started and the nikka popped back up like then proceeded to hit me with some ridiculous combo that wiped my entire team.

at that point, i just went to bed
