XKCD humor never lets me down; also more Another Eden ramblings

This is so relevant.

LOL.

Yeah, I don't have anything else to add.

In other news, I've been plugging away at Another Eden some more and the game still has yet to disappoint me. Sure, there's a bit of grind, in that some of the character advancement items aren't dropping for me, but honestly? It's not actually stopping me from advancing through the game because the free units are already so very good. The Tales collaboration units are super powerful and can easily drag your team through most of the content. The only reason I feel like pulling is because there are certain characters that seem fun and I would like to have them on my team. But I have no need for them, which is the key, as the game already gave me the characters I needed to steamroll the chapters.

I'm still going to be grinding to level up certain characters in my roster, however, since I got them from the free pulls the game gave me and there's no reason to neglect them just because the free units have been doing most of the heavy lifting.

(I've lucked into Anabel and Miyu, and have gotten Deirdre for free. These three are part of the Miglance Palace set and have a special attack animation when any two are in the team during AF, so now I'm committing myself to grind everyone to 5-stars so that the three of them can be on the team together. I also lucked into the healer Mariel, considered widely the best healer unit in the game, so guess I'm sticking with her for all my healing needs.)

( Some blathering on New Player experience. )

And that concludes my beginner tips. There's just so much stuff in this game and because it's not time-limited, you can work through the content at your own pace. Nothing ever gets blocked off permanently and you can always return to finish whatever you missed the first time around.

So I highly recommend giving Another Eden a whirl. If you like JRPGs, if you like turn-based battle systems, if you like videogames that actually tries to tell a story and engaging plot, then you should give Another Eden a try.
