Eh, weak time, but I wasn't gunning it.

Spent most of today playing FF4, and I'm only about 2 hours behind the first quest I aborted, so I guess that was time well spent? The Namingway sidequest is a real drag. You get to a certain point and he wants Rainbow Pudding. I've run into a few enemies that can have it, but drop it at a 0.4% rate. Once I have access to the moon, I can buy Sirens, and those can force an encounter in a certain place with 3 Flan Princess. They drop Rainbow Pudding at a whopping 1% rate. Like, fucking hooray, but what you really want from them is a Pink Tail, so you can get the best armor. You can only get it from them, and the rate is 0.4% again. Full completion is an absurd goal. On the other hand, people used to grind for hours to get all their Sirens because you could only steal them from Seekers in the Giant of Babil, so at least I'm not stuck doing that. I did something kind of foolish, spending 100,000 gil on a special club members card. It gets you another augment, but it's available any time, and I probably should have waited. On the other hand, the walkthrough guiding me in my augmenting has been super-helpful, and there are some way out-of-the-way places I NEVER would have thought to visit.
