I was gonna make the “69 episode without Rollo” joke but freaking Gyorgy beat me to it 😢
11:40 everytime I get Endsinger I call out "remember to slow DPS for newbies!" Whenever I see we have some. And I do it once all the Scions go "LIGHT THE WAY!" just because I personally like newbies to feel that dread once the screen goes black after the second Cataclysm (or whatever it's called)
The issue with ilvl sync in Endsinger is also a huge problem for every other capstone MSQ fight and I really, really really hope they'll look to those as well.
Thordan you can have half the party afk and still probably only see one or two extra mechanics, Niddhogg slightly less so because that super stack still hits like a truck in an unprepared group, Shinryu's a joke, Hades and Seat of Sacrifice you barely have to respect the mechanics, and Endsinger we would regularly skip mechanics in phase 1 like her cutting through the middle of the arena saying "Tis so lonely between the stars" by 6.1 and cut off parts of the Scion dialog in phase 2.
And while burning these bosses is fine for all-returning players who just want the roulette, it genuinely guts the impact of a lot of them. I still wonder if Shinryu would feel any more impactful to me as a story beat if it hadn't been so easy even with shit gear as a sprout.
Hell, last time I got Endsinger in roulette my Summoner with un-augmented current tome gear and the current relic weapon had more HP than the newbie tank in their 89 AF/dungeon accessories. A melee, sure, but on a caster it's really easy to see the absurdity here.
My only quibble with the Yokai stuff is that it's all lower level fates, and it's genuinely just not fun to go into a FATE at like level 43 and lose all of your skills.
This Relic weapon for EW has been so… lackluster. I'm not a fan of Manderville to begin with, but then tying it to only Tomes alone makes it just your 4th Tome weapon lol. I don't even really mind if they use tomes as one way to get the weapon but the fact it's the only way was so lame. It also generally makes me miss the Relic armors we had in SB and ShB that we don't get access to now, which is a bummer.
I really had to chuckle when he mentions that this relic has the highest completion rate, which is honestly a pretty meaningless factor given how easy it is to get.
Does Rollo have family in the United States?
