As I’ve played more and more of this amazing game, I’ve found a lot of striking similarities between SoA and One Piece. Especially in the latter half of the game when the world really opens up to you and you can begin recruiting crew members for the Delphinus. Much like Luffy it feels like Vyse goes from a pirate to a revolutionary fighting against the Valuan Empire. Even the Gigas can be seen to be analogous with Pluton, Uranus, and Neptune

I’ve gotten up to like 95 or 96 and not a single more coin to be found in the hotel. It’s really frustrating

So what’s up with so many things having Greek names/being inspired by Greek? Almost all of the spells are Greek or Greek inspired, the Delphinus is the Greek word for dolphin, and the Drachma was the historical currency of Greece before they switched to the Euro. I only recently got the Delphinus so I don’t know if this is explained later in the game. No spoilers please.

So I’ve been seeing a lot of discussion specifically about Jax so I guess I’ll throw my hat into the ring. So we see in Jax’s torture scene with Caine that his greatest fear/insecurity is feeling vulnerable, showing his true self hence having his skin peeled back. It’s likely he created this cocky asshole persona as a means to protect himself since when he opened up his mother she openly mocked him. This taught him that it’s potentially dangerous to open up to others, that’s why he demanded that Ribbit not tell anyone else about their heart to heart.

I genuinely do think though that Jax felt immense guilt over Ribbit’s abstraction. That’s why he was so insistent that Pomni leave in his mind. He doesn’t believe he deserves to be loved, to have friends, to be saved after what he feels he did. In the end I feel Jax is definitely a flawed character but not the irredeemable monster other call him.

I've been really pushing this season to improve and it just feels like I'm not. Even when I have every advantage: health, shields, item loadout, weapon rarity, positioning, and even stealth it feels like I'm barely getting any eliminations against human players. What am I doing wrong? Or is this just one of those things where you're not good at something even when you try?

I’ve tried at least a dozen times in ZB solos and I’m lucky to get to the final 10. Idk what my issue is, I keep pushing myself giving all I can and it’s like there is just always someone better than me, someone who’s always just a fraction of a second faster than me.

Maybe it’s just because I’ve played a lot of real time strategy and 4X games, but I often forget the goal of the game is to checkmate the king not to capture as many enemy pieces as you can.

I normally play turn based RPG’s because I have terrible reaction times. Are there any PVE’s that are fun and not too hard to pick up?
