Panel 1
Greg: Hey, I was looking at the mog station while I was waiting out the maintenance cycle, and it turns out they have a whole bunch of optional items you can just flat-out BUY.
Liz: Ugh… you know how much I hate microtransactions.
Panel 2
Greg: Yeah, me too, but hold up a sec. Yes, they have the fun costumes and mounts and all that crap, which is fine… but they ALSO have the Tales of Adventure.
Liz: What’s that?
Panel 3
Greg: It’s an item that instantly levels one job to 60, and gives you a set of gear to go with it. It doesn’t complete the story, it literally just insta-grinds you.
Greg: For less than 20 bucks, we can skip endless hours of killing the same thing over and over again, and actually progress the story so we can catch up with Aya and everyone else.
Liz: But don’t you think people will judge us for skipping the grind?
Panel 4
Greg: See, the thing is: who gives a shit.
Liz: A compelling point, expertly made.
