The dragon is just a miniaturized version of the dragon from Syrcus Tower, if I recall, so that's fun.

If it was bigger, I'd have been okay with that, since I've wanted a dragon mount like that one for a while. Sadly, it got the Managarm treatment in that they took something potentially cool and made it for ants instead.

Aside from it being just a copy of a model, the sizing and just... something about it.. do make it kind of weird to actually use, yeah. Regardless, I got it to add to my collection. No matter on the grinding for it anyway, since these things will be made available later.

A bit of a rant..I know the gaming industry is at a low point but the swaths of gamers now adays who are walking nerve endings. Gamers who cant handle having their morales or political views challenged, cant bare having their emotions built up and smashed like a beer can or screwed with Mentally by a game is just beyond jaw dropping. I am borderline horrified by it is the future going to filled with sheltered gamers who take things to seriously?!

End rant

p.s Sorry had to get that off my chest.

Some of my favorite games are those that leave me emotionally devastated. Thanks Nier! Haven't bawled like a baby in a while!

Oh joy, I see Aveyond is back on the forums...and I was so enjoying the peace and quiet.

I popped into his thread and posted "danganronpa anyone?"

I'm fine with a bleak story as long as there's a point to it. Things that just keep getting darker and darker and darker just for the sake of being dark bore me; if it's clear that nothing matters and these characters are just screwed no matter what, why should I care to keep watching? There has to be a balance to it and a lot of writers just can't pull it off.

As with so many things, there's a TV Tropes page for it: Too Bleak, Stopped Caring.

I thought leaving a nice and warm blanket burrito was a dark place, but what you described is a nightmare. O.o
