Some friends and I have been playing on a server and we are using the Mythical Collection mod to get all the mythicals to spawn but they spawn like crazy so we wanted to turn down the rates. In the mod post is says we need the app installed to change it but I have no idea what app they are talking about. Can anyone help?

Something I like to do once I finish a game is write up a review to look back on later so have fun reading if you will! I will start by saying I would not call myself proficient in JRPGs. I have played like 3 total in this, Digimon Time Stranger, and E33. I played some persona 5 after the same friend that recommended this game to me recommended that a few years ago. I did not like Persona, I thought that getting rid of Arsen early was stupid and the game has a few classic Japan tropes in that game that just made me uncomfortable so I dropped it. All that is to say that I was also skeptical of this game since I knew it was Atlus but since I played it through a Steam Family and it was free for me I figured why not.

Long story short I think this game is my 5th favorite game of all time at the time of writing this post. It was so beautifully written and the world was so encapsulating. I loved some of the classic fantasy enemy designs combined with the humans who had more of the creepy or disturbing designs. It made the humans standout more as opposed to having every enemy look disturbing somehow. I am also a sucker for medieval or renaissance settings in games so this was right up my alley. I liked the 8 different races and I liked the highlight on the oppression of some for not other reason than society says so because that's basically how it works IRL. Sometimes I feel like racism is done overtly wrong in media (think Darr Man skits) but this game highlighted how politics, religion, and money can really drive the masses to think however they want. I also think the game highlighted how sometimes democracy can be a very flawed system. Now I am not saying I would rather have an alternative but as an American I can safely say that "voters" as a whole are stupid because otherwise we wouldn't have a certain person in office right now. This game up until the very end shows how people are just choosing "a lesser evil" because they are too scared or complacent or powerless to make any change about it. Sadly real life sometimes doesn't take the turn for the better like in video games.

The party was probably some of my favorite parts of the game. I do wish they introduced everyone a little sooner tho particularly the last 3 characters. It feels like a barely got any time with them in the grand scheme of things. Heismay just might be my favorite fantasy character of all time. I popped off whenever I learned he was joining the team because I thought he was so cool. For a while I was a little sad because his class kinda sucked so I changed him to the brawler line, but then I got the ring that takes away enemy turns if you dodge and he popped off once I gave him Knights Proclamation. His character story was also my favorite followed closely by Strohl's. Strohl is very close to my favorite fantasy character. For those who are Brandon Sanderson fans, Strohl reminds me alot of Adolin Kholin who I would say is my favorite character at this point. He strives to do whats good and not what is "right" which I think is distinctive. I would say I liked everyone else, Neuras was great comedic relief and tasteful, and Gallica was a not annoying companion (I'm looking at you Morgana) but none of the rest really stood out I just liked their company.

The game being wrapped around anxiety was very interesting for me because it is something I personally struggle with irl. I thought the way they portrayed it was very tasteful and the answer wasn't just "don't worry 4head" in the end. The future is scary alot of the time, commitment is scary, the unknown is scary. However, none of that is inherently bad and the game explains this. Everyone feels these emotions but it's how you react that is important. I have had my fair share of anxiety attacks (My head cannon is what Louis did to will and the others to turn them is basically overwhelming them with anxiety giving them anxiety attacks). The first time we see Will need the help of his friends to over come it, we see Zorba put all his faith in Louis because he is the only constant he can cling to and feel safe, and finally we see Will overcome that attack during the final scenes. All 3 of these are ways that I have personally dealt with anxiety (ofc the last being the healthiest) and it was just nice to see media portray that in a way that I related with, and it reminded me last night to continue to be mindful everyday of how I react to things.

All in all this game was a 10/10 and I am very glad I played it. I already got a few people at work to pick it up so I am doing my part lol. There is so much more I loved; the turn base system and turn Icons were great and I loved the Archetypes so much and loved how they felt specific to each character, but to prevent this from going on forever I will end it here. Fantasy lives on...
