20 hours into UnchainBlades EXXiV

Cleared the first two Titans (Hilda plus main character guy whose name I don’t remember), just reactivated the core in Arctus with Sophie. UnchainBlades EXXiV is not a particularly impressive game and not much has happened so far, so I’m not really motivated to write much about it.
