Anxiety by definition is a mental illness, though, and social anxiety is no exception. There's nothing wrong with struggling socially and there are resources for people who want or need them.

That's not quite how it works; avoiding things that stress you out is certainly a bad strategy, but trying to muscle through your mental illness isn't a great one either. I don't think you can just be "not stressed" with anxiety, much like you can't just "cheer up" to cure depression. If you do want to deal with your anxiety, I would strongly suggest seeking aid. 1 hour ago, Acacia Sgt said: Well, it went well, went well. I think I am practically hired at this point.

I did that too on my first run but ever since then, i've tried to do all the sidequests because i really like the final one. You can't actually max out Community until you kill every Unique Monster and since i'm too lazy to kill the Superbosses, i haven't actually maxed out Community haha.

I was kinda sick of quests ngl. Like for how short the game is, it sure has a loooooooooooooooot of quests, so once i got lvl4 i just got into the final dungeon. This series has a serious problem with quests. 1 minute ago, Armagon said: You can't actually max out Community until you kill every Unique Monster and since i'm too lazy to kill the Superbosses, i haven't actually maxed out Community haha.

The fact that quite a few NPCs come back more than once and they genuinely interact with the cast (no generic "how can i help" dialogue) is what saves it for me and i really like that there is a grand finale. If the quests were just generic RPG quests, the Community Gating would be dogshit. 11 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: This series has a serious problem with quests. I am every curious to how you would fare with Xenoblade X, since sidequests is one of the major defining points of the game. Of course, the game itself is structured like an MMO so it's a different Xenoblade experience than what you're used to but still. 13 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: That sounds kinda fun tbh, because fighting UMs is super fun Well it's not actually fighting them that i'm lazy about. It's the grind to get there. There are no regular enemies in the 60s and higher and the weakest Superboss is Lv.65 while the strongest is Lv.100. So getting there just boils down to killing the same Superboss over and over for levels. Also Elemental Awakening sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimpica Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 (edited) So, Thoughts (dw, not a wall like XB2 thoughts, Torna was pretty short, after all) -Game was shorter than expected. Yeah, i didn't do all quests and all, but with 50+ community i doubt i would've needed much more time to finish the quests. Kinda expected it to be a bit more than FCx1.5 -Where are the heart to hearts? Camp talks were fine, but they can't be compared to heart to hearts at all. -Cast was cool, however Haze really really needed more screen time. -I loved the switching mechanic, alot. But if you asked me wether i prefer XB2 gameplay or Torna, i think XB2 slightly wins, because moving during Specials and blade combos felt much better in XB2. Or maybe i am thinking like that because i couldn't adjust the difficulty how i wanted to in Torna xD. UM battles were still super fun, though, and that final boss was EPIC (That alone is worth the money i paid for the DLC xD). Torna also had cool gimmicks here and there. -Liked how it showed kinda more of the non positive aspects of the Driver/Blade relationships, since main game was all ''we are chill and love each other'' and stuff -Was kinda funny seeing Jin say stuff he needed to tell his future self the whole game xD Spoiler -Jin being always distrusful of humans aside of Laura from the start made it easier to accept how he turned on everyone and not just Indol. Still wanna punch him for burning the picture though -Fuck Amalthus, truely. Fuck all of Indol tbh. Religious nutcases the lot of them. -Mythra getting Pyra'd was big F for our girl -Might revisit later to do some more UMs and do the rest of the quests 8/10 Question: Spoiler XB2 said 3 titans sank during the Aegis war, yet the Torna DLC only mentions Coeia and we saw Torna thinking with our own eyes. Who was the 3rd titan? 45 minutes ago, Armagon said: There are no regular enemies in the 60s and higher and the weakest Superboss is Lv.65 while the strongest is Lv.100.

If the quests were just generic RPG quests, the Community Gating would be dogshit I think my main problem is how once i arrived at the capital the game started bombarding me with quests. After a while i just had enough, ya know? And while better than XB2, alot of them were still your typical fetch quests or kill monsters i already killed 100 times before. They could've been paced better, or maybe replaced with heart to hearts (the better option) 45 minutes ago, Armagon said: since sidequests is one of the major defining points of the gam uh uh Edited February 15, 2021 by Shrimperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who was the 3rd titan? While it isn't explicitly answered, Spoiler I think the general theory is that Indol destroyed Spessia (the Titan that Team Lora and the Tornan remnants were on) and blamed it on Mythra. Some people think the third is Temperantia, but it's specified that three Titans sank and Temperantia is obviously still around in the main game.
