You did a lot to help me with my own body image issues and figure out good ways to combat that, your "finding protein additives that don't suck/fitness journey" was actually a huge inspiration for me to get back to the gym.

I'm going to Try and beat as many Final Fantasy games as I can this year (I own all 6 Pixel Remasters in addition to OG 7 and 9 on PC, I'll need to pick up 8 and 10 at minimum) so having engaging with the Pixel Remasters as close to the Intended Way as I can so I can absorb the proper Energy.

In a cold take that will surprise no one: FF1 is really good! Despite some aged design flaws (a -lot- of the loot is backloaded which is a shame because the loot is the Sauce of FF1) it's a really good videogame! Maybe needs a few more NPCs to point you in the next direction other than uhhhh one.

My brother has a manbun and I have to constantly fight him over AI. I'm sure the two are unrelated but it means my fight or flight against them is already primed

Watching you guys go through all three Prime games you hadn't already covered + all the spinoffs really was like watching a rickety high-speed rollercoaster. The quality gave me whiplash but it was a hell of a ride!

Other Features 2/2:
- In place of a ranged attack, Sir Seremai could replace(?) one melee attack with an alternate attack that could force a Constitution Save (DC 14?) versus the Blinded Condition.

Evidence for Sir Seremai's baseline:
- 3 melee attacks, which did both Physical and Poison damage (Altered Cultist basic melee)
- 2 1/Day Spells (Command, Charm Person) which aligns with the design space of the Cultists, but does not match any of their lists.

Modifications:
- The Guards had a spear, giving them a 10ft Reach Melee attack instead of the 5ft melee attack in the statblock.
- Sir Seremai's closest approximation is one of the four "Cultist" variants (Aberrant, Death, Elemental, Fiend, all CR 8)

It's a quirk of where the projectile starts. Sean here is clipped through the reflector, so the projectile hurtbox starts past the Aegis Reflector and doesn't get eaten.
