With the Potimas problem officially behind us (like, for real this time), I can finally focus on destroying this god-awful system!…is what I’d like to say. But it looks like a certain someone won’t let that happen without a fight. I swear, every time you think you’re about to blaze through the final encounter, the devs crank out a hotfix. And by that, I mean D decided to activate some World Quest that clued the entire population in on the fate of the world. So now everyone has to pick a side in this battle of the gods— Black or White. And no matter who they side with, they’re probably gonna die. Sucks, right? Well, how do you think I feel?! Do you think I asked to be put in the middle of all this?! No waaay!
