First run: Type 2 body. Whatever was the style that mains Dex. 2kat and 1kat. Started on Dusk but the Obaa-san was ripping my ass up so I went down to Dawn, fuck it. Ended up going up to Twilight in Chapter 2 in time for the Katsu fight. Have I gotten gud? Probably not. Spent a lot of time with Oxtail replacing 1kat, and now Odachi has replaced 2kat. Tesshu fight in Military Academy is anti-fun bullshit so I went down to Dusk again after a few tries. Ended up going back to Twilight. No issues for a while. William secret boss was easier than expected. The iai chick in Edo was much harder. Dazzling Devil is the most fun I've had in vidya in a while.

First run: Normal, mostly. Performance mostly; went to Graphics for a moment to see if it actually changed the models' idle appearance at all, but it didn't. "The Zoomies" mission in Battle Square was bullshit, so I dropped to Easy for it. Fucking Aerith has the worst gameplay so it's almost worthless to have her as the date here. "Exemplary Exterminators" is bullshit, too, so I went back to easy, and stayed that way for the last mission as well. EE has a Quetzalcoatl with an ungodly amount of HP, and the next mission ends on a fucking Mindflayer; it's like they just don't want me to have fun!
