Nintendo making a consumer friendly decision for once. I am so glad upgrade pack for XC2 is a thing and accessible with physical copy too 🥹 the switch 2 upgrade looks so good and I def want to pick it up when I can get my hands on the console…eventually 😭

It’s been a week since my first clear. I enjoyed progging umad/dmu a ton. Fight was fun and creative imo. While the fight is much easier on a dps, I still find the pacing and all the visual clusters quite demanding that I can’t get too comfortable. It still feels like an ultimate fight to me.

Pyra’s new outfit looks pretty neat tho I prefer her original palette that’s more heavy on black over white. They absolutely should have kept Mythra’s gold/green combo tho. She looks so washed with silver 😭

Fun story and potential tip for artists: find a load boarding follower or two. When my account was brand new and less than 10 people knew I existed I had one follower who would like almost every piece I made. I appreciated his support so much that my partner knew his screenname- 🧵

I have a lot of thoughts regarding dmu/umad but I’ll reserve my full opinions for when I clear. So far I’m enjoying it a lot tbh. I think both Forsaken and Black Hole are two really cool mechanics.

We would prog so much slower if not for our bard doing most callouts, posting macros and manually placing markers one by one. I have never felt like I am getting carried in an ultimate before 😂👍
