Man, if one of the saddest excuses for a rhythm game like the Persona Dancing games destroys you, never go near a
real rhythm game.

I've finished the 240/300 BTs requirement, did my Universe play through and I'm in the second half of my 4D play through (which is the last trophy I need for platinum). I just finished making all of my Orichalcum enhanced gear last night for Nel and Cliff, so 4D mode is pretty much over. Paired up with Maria having a weapon with +100% EXP synthed on it, I don't have to worry about levels. Plus I spent a little bit of time horribly over leveling last night (got up to level 70 on a part where you'd normally be level 40-50). There should be no problem finishing this game now. 4D has a lot of bullshit to it, but having a Nel with almost maxed attack will overcome all of the bullshit the game throws at me. With this much attack, Flying Guillotine leads to MP kills on bosses before they even know what's going on. I should be able to finish this play through tonight when I get home from work or early tomorrow.

I've been spending way too much money on this game the last week. They introduced a holiday banner that only gives 4* and 5* characters, so I've been purchasing gems so I can abuse that banner to stock up on a ton of Limit Break crystals. Any time you pull a character that you already have MLB'd, you get a LB Crystal instead (1 Medium Crystal for a 4*, 1 Large for a non-Ace 5*, and 2 Large for an Ace 5*). Since I already have every 4* in the game at MLB, that means at the absolute worst, I get 10 Medium Crystals from a pull on this banner. That equals one LB level on an Ace character or two on a Non-Ace. Then on top of that, I get the bonus of having a pretty good chance of pulling multiple 5* characters, which either leads to more LB levels on that character or a stockpile of Large Crystals by pulling characters I already have maxed.
By using this banner, I've gotten enough Crystals to fully LB my Summer Sophia and Halloween Millie. I also ended pulling for Winter Evelysse and got her, so I was able to MLB immediately. I still have enough LB crystals to MLB maybe two Ace characters, which is pretty huge. I'm hoping that by continuing to pull on this banner, I can MLB some of my other non-Ace 5* characters. I already got Claire and Faize to MLB doing this, and I have three or four more at LB8 or LB9. When the banner is done, I'll see where I'm at with certain characters. If I can't get Phia to MLB through the banner, then I'll probably just use up some crystals to get her there.
What I'm really waiting on is for Meracle to get released, and then I'll have enough crystals to MLB her immediately. I'm hoping that part 2 of the SO4 event will be after the Christmas events, so that I can finally get my Meracle and be able to start using her. Though maybe I should slow down on the gem purchasing just a tiny bit.

So I finally decided to download this last week and give it a try. I had been meaning to do it for a while, but kept putting it off. I wanted a second game to play when I have a lot of downtime in SO:A (either because I'm waiting for my stamina to regen or because I finished all the events/purchased all items from the event shops and have nothing else to do). So far I'm really loving the game, it's a lot of fun. Of course it helps that there's all these cute boat girls in the game. I chose Laffey as my starting girl (because you can't pass up on the most adorable choice). I also got Unicorn pretty early, which was nice. Having a girl who can heal my Vanguard is really helpful. I'm still using a couple of meh boats, so I've been trying to get better ones. I had heard this game is super F2P friendly, and it definitely is true. I have no intentions of spending money on this game (mainly because all of my money goes to SO:A), so the game giving me so many resources to build boats (the gacha system in this game) and do other things is really nice. There hasn't been a moment in the game where I was like, crap, I can't do anything because I'm out of resources.
Unfortunately I missed out on most of the Nep collab. I did end up finishing one of the Missions to get Neptune for free, but I wasn't able to pull of some crazy newbie luck and build Noire in time. Hopefully the Nep collab will come back at some point so I can get muh girl.
