Today is technically a “holiday”, though when you don’t have a regular job normal days and holidays tend to all blend together somewhat. Still, at least it being a holiday means that I can technically not work and not feel guilty about it, so there’s that.
It’s been one of those days that has just sort of passed by without any particular incident or noteworthiness, and as such there’s not a whole lot for me to talk about today, really. Andie and I both got up late — we were both really tired, so a lie-in until midday was thoroughly needed — and then we’ve both spent most of the day playing Final Fantasy XIV. I’m almost at level 48 on Bard, which will be my fifth battle class levelled to 50 when it’s done — I should hopefully get that finished tomorrow. After that, I have Arcanist and Pugilist to get out of the mid-teens, and Lancer and Rogue to level from scratch. And then all the bloody crafters, though to be honest those aren’t very difficult to level, just a bit time-consuming.
I’ve also been playing some more Hyperdevotion Noire over the last few days, and I’m thoroughly smitten with it. I was initially a little put off by the chibi characters — I prefer more coventionally proportioned characters for the most part — but they actually work well in the battle scenes, making it clear who is where, which way they are facing and so on. Outside of battle, you still get the full-size portraits in story sequences — plus the beautifully drawn event scenes, too — so I’m happy with that. (Also, Chibi Female Solid Snake is adorable. As is the personification of Dragon Quest. As indeed are most of the characters.)
Nothing special planned for tomorrow, it’s looking like a lazy Easter weekend. Andie and her mother are going out to town tomorrow, but I will probably stay in. With money a bit tight at the moment, it’s probably best I stay away from places that sell things I might want to buy. Like, say, PlayStation 4s. That ain’t going to happen until I have some more money coming in, but I’m working on that.
And after that, Sunday is raid night, of course. We will probably be taking our first serious look at the Final Coil of Bahamut, though one of our number still wants to get their own clear of Turn 9, since his unlocking of Final Coil was actually achieved by someone else playing his character. I’m all for that; Turn 9 is a fun, if intense, fight, and the last time we tackled it we cleared it within 3 attempts, making the weeks of practice look somewhat trivial!
Anyway. I’ve spun this post out for long enough without really saying anything, so it’s time to head to bed and maybe play with my beloved Noire a bit. Here’s to boring but peaceful days.

When you ‘level’ something I presume you mean play it up to it’s top Level in the game? It sounded on first reading as though you meant ‘annihilated’ them, wiped them off the board so to speak – you were referring to what sounded like battle characters. Does it mean?
Does it mean both?
