I imagine I’m pretty far in the game so there are HEAVY SPOILERS in this post. I wanna start by saying I’m having a blast trying to figure out everything on my own so I’m not asking for advice (yet) I just want to have a discussion.

Am I alone on taking an extremely long time on trying to solve everything? I’ve gotten to where I am on my own and it seems like I’ve been everywhere like >!The 6th Location, the Lakebed Cave, Sun Station etc.!< I’ve also been to the >!Tower of Quantum Knowledge!< but feel like I cheated to get there. I only ask because I was curious and watched a some of a semi popular streamers no spoilers play through, and this guy just sped through everything barely reading any text and figured everything out so easily. He got to where I am in a fraction of the time. For example >!The Giants Deep Tower!< took me 2 in game days to solve, and he just >!dropped down each level like it was a speed run and knew where to take the pictures immediately.!<

I take my time and explore every nook and cranny of every place I can get to, so I’m around 55 hours in. My computer looks like it’s completely unlocked except 1 square that I’m trying to figure out how to get to now. I exhausted all dialogue, so i guess I’ve gotten all the clues I can and it’s up to me to figure out how to piece them together. I’m playing on Switch so I know it’s much easier to not be able to see something, but I’m still determined to push through.

Here are my thoughts at the moment:

HEAVY SPOILERS

>!I think I’m going to have to either find a large warp core or get the broken one in the vessel fixed. I tried one that I charged from The High Energy Lab, but it doesn’t fit. I couldn’t find anything in the Black hole Forge either. The Sun Station blows up when I go there so maybe that can be the catalyst for something? I couldn’t find any projection stones to put into the Tower of Quantum Knowledge as well, so if I can figure out how to get there before it gets sucked into space it will be easier to get around in there.!<

It was a podcast/discussion about mostly the story in Final Fantasy 9, but not the Resonant Arc one. It was 3-4 people, all guys I think and it was 3-4 hours long. One of the guys created a voice acting addon for Final Fantasy 7 that wasn’t finished yet at the time. I remember one of the other guys was saying how a moment in the game made him think about his brother about an hour into the podcast. I listened to it last year on YouTube but never finished, but I can’t find it now when I search.

TLDR at the bottom, I tried to keep it short without filler.

I am totally lost here and looking for any type of advice or feedback.

About 4 months ago in March I went to a new dentist after not going for years. I had a minor toothache on my bottom left side due to debris. The denitist took care of it and also filled a few cavities on other teeth that I didn't even realize I needed. No pain anywhere esle at all, yet. After a few days I started having pain in one of the teeth they filled, the upper right tooth, (the #4 tooth), and had to go back to get it checked out. The dentist looked at me for about 30 seconds and said it was probably the clear filling that they used. It was expanding and putting pressure on the nerve, and it will go away. Well it didn't, it got worse. The pain was in my upper gums throughout the whole right side of my mouth. Laying down made it much more severe though, with an intense, dull ache going out and up into my ear, jaw and behind my right eye. If you've ever had a broken bone it's the same kind of pain, so i think it's easier explained as dull than sharp. A week later I had to go in again due to the pain, and after another fast apointment the dentist told me it was infected and prescribed me an anitbiotic. It was 9 days worth of Amoxocillan/Clav, and it took 3-4 days for me to start feeling relief. The relief was only minor, and in around 2-3 weeks the pain came back worse than before. I finally got in a month later, and they even took an X-ray this time, saying it was infected above the root tip. I was prescribed another round of Amox/Clav and scheduled a root canal. This is when the pain really starts to get bad, so I was in and out of the dentist every week at this point. Nothing could be done until my insurance okayed the root canal, so I had to wait a few weeks to get the procedure done.

The first root canal failed. At least I guess it failed. The dentist didn't find anything out of the ordinary, or seem to have any complications, but the pain came back imediatly. My tooth itself was numb from not having a nerve, but the surounding gums and my face were still in alot of pain. I go back in to the dentist the next week, and they tell me they might of either missed a canal, left a bit of the nerve intact, or didn't clean up all of the infection. So I schedule another root canal a few weeks away, hoping this one will give me some relief. They said if the pain gets worse to come and see them, so I did, but they didnt really do anything except take X-rays.

The second root canal helped... alot. The dentist didn't find any other canals, but I guess just going in and cleaning it up again worked! I was in alot of pain and very sore for about 3 days, but I woke up on the 4th day and most of the pain was gone. This was the best I've felt since before any of this even started. Just minor residual pain that seemed to slowly get better over 2 weeks. I really thought I was cured! 2 weeks go by and they drill my tooth down to a little nub and put the temporary crown on. I got numbed and didn't feel aything, so I don't know if anything went wrong during the procedure, but that night that they put that plastic crown on, as the novacaine wore off, the pain started coming back. It started as extremely red and irritated gums, and within a just a few days the pain in my face came back full force. A few days after that, the pain got to the worse it has ever been with minor swelling in my cheek. I went back to the dentist and they said it was infected, and prescribed me my 3rd round of Amox/Clav. Im in total unbearable agony at this point, and I hold on as long as I can to try and wait for the medicine to work, but after 5 days of it just getting worse, I have to go back in to the dentist office. They take an X-ray, and they tell me the infection is going away, and it shouldn't be the cause of my pain. My dentist hands me off to the specialist of the building, so I go to the front desk and make another appointment. Thankfully the Amox/Clav eventually worked enough that I was able to sleep/concetrate again, so the wait to see the specialist wasn't that bad.

2 weeks ago I go to the specialist, I call him that because I dont think he's an endontist, he's just the head guy at the office I go to. He tells me I probably have a hairline fracture because he can't find anything on the X-ray, and they need to schedule a 3rd root canal to reclean and reseal it. I go in for my 3rd root canal about a week ago, and this time they carefully took their time and closely looked in my tooth and still didn't find anything. The specialist told me that due to them going in 3 times the tooth is real thin and pretty much filed down to nothing at this point, and I will have to get it pulled. I told him I can't afford an implant at this time and he decided to just pack the inside with medicine, put the temporary crown back on and hope for the best. This was 5 days ago and my gums are really red and inflamed, with the pain in my face coming back. I feel that it could get really bad within the next couple days, and I am even questioning if getting my tooth pulled will even help at this point.

TLDR
Upper right side (#4) tooth in pain for 4 months. It's been through 1 filling, 3 root canals, and 3 rounds of antibiotics. Either infected this whole time or keeps getting re-infected. X-rays show infection above the root. Pain is minor when standing, but radiates to ear, eye and jaw laying down. 5 days since my last root canal, they re-entered it looking for a fracture. Nothing was found.

I’m planning on going in July with someone mildly disabled. Bad knee and 80 years old but no handicap plate/placard. Basically they can’t walk far or stand for any period of time. I’m trying to gather information on if it’s worth going or are they just gonna be miserable the whole time. I see they have accessible parking, but you need a handicap tag/placard. Also you can rent chairs but I’m worried about them running out. Anyone with experiences on here?
