Good afternoon everyone,
Last night's stream of Final Fantasy XIV certainly was Main Story heavy...and that wasn't my intention, it actually was to handle the Eden side-story... but it turns out that would have been among the first stuff in the game I've seen that was effect by COVID, as its clear some stuff was cut and shuffled around.
So my attention turned to doing the Main Story Quest on stream, which meant a lot of cut scenes with voiced and non-voiced dialog, general running around from place to place. The good news is that outside of the abrupt '...and then the Scions went home' line of dialog in the epilogue of Hope's Confluence, everything was pretty smooth.
Granted, the action was rather light, but the pay off was epic in terms of Elidibus committing his last acts of a desperation, even when the truth was right in front of him that he had no fight left to fight, that he lost a long time ago. The trial, titled Seat of Sacrifice, was certainly epic, and had a nice pay off with Emet-Selch helping out certainly had me asking questions (and thankfully Kalenal was able to answer them.)
So now my attention if Final Fantasy XIV turns towards finishing the 5.3 content off-stream as well as getting back to the Eden side-story, as clearly there is a lot more to happen with that than meets the eye.
For the raid, we sent the fun over to Wolfeey_ who we found on Hover, they were playing Genshin Impact. Their twitch channel is over at twitch.tv/wolfeey_!

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout had me doing Intermediate Combo #2, Weaving Combo #1 and Advanced Combo #1 for 31 minutes resulting in an estimated calorie burn of 486 kcal.
Knocked out two what I deemed 'do-able' achievements for Dead or Alive 5: Last Round, the remaining achievements involve dealing with the tutorial, and character combo and combat commands, both 'cliffhanger' achievements, and playing 100 online matches. The last one would be 'do-able', but people have a habit of not accepting matches when one becomes available to them. This also continued my current streak of having 34 days with at least one X-Box achievement unlocked with a total of 236
Dead or Alive 5 Last Round Achievements
- The Power of Two: Do 10 different character-specific tag throws.
- Training Hard: Play Free Training mode for 1 hour.
Also, knocked out two more achievements Microsoft Solitaire Collection, and if I was smart I would have held off on doing these to help extend the daily streak... oh well.
Microsoft Solitaire Collection (UWP) Achievements
- Expedition Leader: Took 14 cards off the board in a row without using the stock in TriPeaks
- Dig, Dig, Dig!: Won a three-board game of Pyramid on Hard difficulty or higher
For tonight's stream, we are focused on level grinding in Pokemon Shining Pearl, to build up my squad to deal with the Elite Four and the Champion Cynthia. Way I figure, I need to get the entire team up into the upper 70s to low 80s to deal with that gauntlet, which is a hell of a lot higher than what I needed to finish off Pokemon Shield and Pokemon Let's Go Eevee!
So on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
