Almost finished with the game, read a bit further about what will happen during the "golden" ending, so wanted to share my opinion.

So, Shutaro. A handsome, popular son of a local rich mogul, who is generally well liked by everyone. Is he secretly a curse bearer? No. Is he a secret bad guy who is seeking immortality by all means available via, say, his dad's money? Also no. His role in the story? Almost nonexistent. The only thing of note he does is that he confesses to Sato, all while being loved by Tsukasa, who is too cowardly to tell him about it.

Speaking of Tsukasa... I don't think she did anything of note (at least I don't remember her doing anything important). But for some reason she is right in the middle of the cover art. Not Sato, not Yuza, not Avi, not Yumeko, but her.

Cut to the end, and Shutaro is mad, screaming, calling everyone peasants, because his dad was murdered and, being a shady businessman, left Shutaro both money and tonnes of debt to criminals. Shutaro is too afraid to deal with criminals, bit doesn't want to not accept inheritance because he isn't used to living like a peasant.

Meanwhile, mousy Tsukasa... ended up being a daughter of even more shady businessman who got killed, whose money she inherited without any shady criminal hooks. And when Shutaro (with a scummy smile, mind you) offers her to get married, she eventually refuses and says that she likes the other guy.

Honestly, this feels like Tsukasa is a self-insert of some woman atop the writing team. A woman who was pining for someone rich and handsome and was refused a relationship with him. A woman who was for 20 years or so concocting a fantasy of her enacting revenge on him, something like "you bastard, oh if I suddenly got tonnes of money and you became broke, you'd come crawling to me and I'd refuse ro help you. Take that, for not feeling how I want you to feel about me!".

Honestly, soured my opinion on the game extremely hard. I'll finish getting all the endings, but while I can see myself returning to 7 Mysteries in a couple of years, can't say the same about Mermaid's Curse, in no small part to this out of nowhere self-insert revenge fantasy.

Imagine a situation: you are a PC who received a blessing of a deity and now have the Blessed One archetype. At level 6, you pick up the Mercy of the Body variant of the Mercy feat.

After that, you enter a town and see a blind man, who wasn't blinded by an evil Sorcerer, but rather, say, had his eyes slashed in a bar brawl, so it is not a "magical" blindness imposed by the Blindness spell, but a "natural" one.

In this situation, can a PC with Blessed One (or someone who has access to healing spells) heal this type of blindness? Can such PC, with right feats, heal natural deafness, various diseases, paralysis and so on?

If you are playing in a custom game set in a world of mixed technology and magic and the latest party member to join is a cowboy-themed kobold Ranger, get out of here.

I plan on making my players (level 10 as of the last quest) fight a custom made boss at the end of the quest that I am currently preparing. Two of the weapons that this boss will have are a pair of axes. I want to make them special and give them something powerful as an ability and the first thing that came to my mind was basically that as long as you are wielding both, you have the Double Slice feat, which cannot be used as a prerequisite for other feats.

My question: Is this feature OK balance wise? Or is it too strong and should be changed to something tamer?

For information, the party consists of an Inventor, a Gunslinger, a SF2E Mystic, a Champion who wields two handers and the aforementioned Ranger who is a dual wieleder with Twin Takedown.

Thank you for your answers.

With Paizo decoupling the Dragon as a species from one magic type and introducing a whole bunch of non-arcane ones, it is a safe bet that the Dragon Eidolon will be a "tradition of choice" Eidolon.

With this change, the only Arcane Eidolon left would be Construct.

That all said, which "creature" do you think will/want to replace the Dragon as a second Arcane Eidolon?

I am leaning towards Genie, because I like the idea of wish-fulfilling creatures being your ally, plus Genie is already an Arcane bloodline for Sorcerers.

Recently watched the "Michael" biopic and noticed something that I never noticed before: he wears loose socks. Cosidering how influential he was (and is) and how much gyaru culture borrowed from the West, is it possible that he is the origin point of this trend in gyaru fashion?
