Gah. No thanks. It’s not like the AP board is even all that exciting, I mean spending 99 AP’s just to get some more stats like Spirit or 333 AP’s just to gain more crystals when you draw them? Stuff like that is kind of lame. There are some that are really handy, but those are few and far between or VERY expensive (like 333 to gain two spells when you craft one) and if the AP gain never improves, I could save up from now to the end of the game and maybe get that skill… and ooooh, I’ll have TWO spells when I craft one! Hardly seems worth it.
I don’t dislike, nor am I impressed with, the Ascendancy board. Like most of FFXV, it’s competent but was done better in previous FF games (and nothing tops the thrill of unlocking new licenses and abilities in FFXII, anyway).
