And here we have reached the final video that I have recorded. I simply lost the desire to play after how underwhelming the 3.0 update was in terms of content, namely recycling a large majority of fights with minimal incentive to do them and the lackluster event quests (these I look to still do). The next couple days may be a few event quests as this winds down as I don't see much life left into it until a G expansion, and even that I believe is going to be pretty lacking.
As for the video at hand, we have fought Magnamalo countless times already to the point where we have both of his crowns as well as all of his rare drops and numerous pieces of his equipment. There really isn't anything left to say. As for Bazel, I do not plan to take up Gunlancing, and I can't remember if I use his boots in my Sticky set, but he doesn't have much left at this point either. I think I have one of his crowns, but other than a couple pieces of his armor, I don't think he really has a place.
So with this, I think I am done with Rise for a little while unless an event quest or two draws me back in. Overall, I like a few of the things they did, but too much of the core has been lost for this to really be a worthy addition to the series. Hopefully an Indie series or something comes along that can capture the old spirit. And if things are really bad, I can always record some 3U since I do have it on WiiU.
