There fine if you don't want to re-level them again since Sage is a pretty overpowered class and getting one early is always a good idea. Of anything, you can use the Zen Scroll (or whatever it got renamed in this game) to skip Jester for your cleric and just make them a Sage to save time.

I'd make him a Fighter actually and then a Jester then Sage. You probably do want to make both mages into Sages eventually but you can make on of them magic focus and the other melee focus since Sage is basically like the Hero class but learns all of the magic of the Cleric and Mage.

I have heard good things about The Sims 4, but there are too many negatives that feel regressive. Removing toddlers is just a stupid decision all around, as is the decision to remove create-a-style which really got my interior decorator vibe in me going. I mean, CASt revolutionised the interior design aspect of the game for me and gave you much more choice in practice than you ever had, and removing it and toddlerdom seems... strange.

There are things that have improved, just create-a-sim, some building aspects, but the removal of open world travelling is another regression. Having said that, conversation improvements (particularly in the department of multi-sim conversations) and multitasking are very much welcome. The emotion system does seem interesting as well.

Basically, Sims 4 will always look bad in my eyes because Sims 3 exists. I can probably forgive the lack of open worldness if everything else has improved, and while a few things have been smoothed out, several blatantly obvious omissions does leave me hurting. If they end up adding this back in, I might grab it, but Sims 3 is a perfectly good game.

I've heard negative things about the Sims 4, and I have the Sims 3 which is well enough. Have you?

Anyway, I've finished the Ueno quest. I now need to head over the bridge. I'm struck by how dystopian everything is; a real contrast to Mikado. Less striking is how at ease everyone is about it. The odd 'surprised' remark and that's it, their mind is totally not blown by this whole other world.

As you say, Fynn.

Anyway, SMT IV is heating up. I'm now in Tokyo; the surprise didn't really happen because the game pretty much told me in one of the manuals. But still, pretty striking. I'm guessing we're led to believe that Mikado is on... the ceiling, then?

I can't remember... The pyramid does have a cursed weapon that makes it harder though. There is a great weapon for the Fighter but it makes you go into a battle for each step you take within the pyramid as long as it is in your inventory. The curse lifts once you leave the pyramid (in the remakes at least) but it can be a nightmare if you're unprepared.
