That Round 17 board state looks so badass knowing that you won the battle. Olivia seems very strong in all stages of the game. In lower league, having two attack types with opportunity is already strong. She also gets mimic at level 2 which I think is too early.
Wouldn't it be nice to have the mimic ability in real life? I mean, I know a lot of smart and talented people, so if I was able to obtain one of their positive traits at even the rate of once a year, a decade from now I would be pretty awesome.
You technically don't need a mimic for that. If you spend a year learning/working on something, you should have some proficiency at it at the end of the year. It does require a lot of time, effort, and consistency.
I was thinking about this too. I don't play in lower leagues, but it might be devastating, especially with Tofu.
I am glad that you picked up on that ;) This is exactly the case - where while maybe not an expert after a year, the chance to be pretty good at something is high, so why don't we do it?
I think the answer is pretty simple. Time and Money. We don't have enough time. Growing up we realize that we can't do everything that we want. A lot of people pour a lot of time and effort in their work even if it isn't what they want to do. Parents sacrifice their time to take care of their children.
I want to do a lot of things like play the guitar/piano, learn Japanese, get better at sports, etc. But not only do I not have a lot of time to learn and do all of them, but they also won't help me get more money for basic needs.
