I've recently come back to hsr after really hating 3.7 and the last thing I expected, was firefly, who used to be in my bottom 3, soaring up to one of my favourite characters in the game due to the 3.8 story.

I find it so sad the original penacony story didnt do her nearly as much justice as 3.8, I went from laughing when she got impaled by death to bawling my eyes out multiple times over her
; _ ;

I ended up impulse pulling both her and Dahlia, thankfully I already had fugue on my account so I just need to build em up. I'd pull her e2 if I had the money and pulls to spare but I gotta save for yao guang and sparxie XD.

I've recently got the air ship so I want to knock out all the side content I care about before finishing the game. I usually wouldn't care but some of this looks like a real pain to grind like the monster arena fights and super bosses. What content should I hit up which gives me more story/lore drops of the characters and world? I'm doing all the jecht spheres especially since he's my favourite final fantasy character now but is there anything else I should do?

I've recently beat seymour on mt gagazet and goddamn is he such a huge spike in difficulty compared to everything else I've done so far. I don't think I'm particularly underlevelled either, I've been killing every encounter, just haven't been going too out of my way and backtracking for side content since I want fast travel first.

I spammed overdrives at the start whilst making sure ppl were hasted, protected etc. But I did beat him though by exploiting a weird loop I found with aeons at the end of the fight. I kept summoning with Yuna, did an attack then seymour killed them, however, it pushed back his turn enough to where kihmari and rikku could get in more hits/buffs to prepare for total annhilation.

It was a super fun fight though, but it does feel like a bit of a sucker punch having the rest of the game be super easy until this point XD
