#so title mastering is going much more slowly than before boo 😒

[love-fireflysong]

Okay, so I’ve been replaying Tales of Graces for the last month or so (last time I played it was back in 2013) and I’ve been having a blast as it’s one of my fav tales games. Reached the end game of the original story, and I’ve just been spending the last couple of weekends finishing up the last of the optional sidequest stuff before I fight the final boss. Which is all pretty normal sounding, but the problem arises in that I had to keep replaying a certain enemy area cause I kept dying to a certain enemy type that really liked to one-shot me.

Like a lot.

A frustrating amount of a lot actually.

And while I knew going in that I was a little underleveled for this part of the game (party was roughly lv66 when everything else was lv72) I didn’t understand why on earth that stupid scorpion kept one-shotting me with it’s tail attacks.  And then when I was checking how many I had killed to get an idea how close or far away I was to it’s soul gem, I realized that it wasn’t lv72 like the others it was lv96.

I wasn’t a measly six levels below, I was THIRTY.

And in that instant, I went from being annoyed that I kept dying to it, to being proud of myself for even managing to hold my own in the fight in the first place kasdhjkajshkasdjh
