Endeavour forums helped when I upgraded during the 24 hours when Arch removed Amdgpu firmware. It did kind of make me wonder how many issues like that were present but that I’ve just dodged by random upgrade timing.

I started playing this recently after they removed Denuvo and I am liking it more then I expected.

I’m a few hours in and the music and performances are great and melodrama is pretty good. The combat is shallow but not overly complicated like the FF1 remake.

Overall it isn’t bad so far.

I would definitely like to see the return of elemental damage which seems weirdly missing here since the plot is focused on eikons. The dream would be that they look at the success of BG3 and bring back turned-based combat but that is probably unlikely.

Also playing some Avowed. I was kinda sceptical after Outer Worlds but it is way better in every way so far!

The retooling starting with Like a Dragon really is impressive. Crafting was in prior games but the job system gave it a purpose. The addition of a party added both banter and way more options for cutscenes. Lampshading the RPG elements fits so well with the overall series absurdity.
