A Brave Blade/Chicken Knife style choice like FF5.

Brave Blade is stronger in relation to how many times you’ve had the balls to call your bosses on shit, treat people right and are a general good guy.
Chicken Knife is stronger for those who brown nose, try to pass the buck and are generally dickheads

Ok so a 21 year old in my work just said she fancies Mel Gibson

Conference Call Raid

20 players all trying to share a screen and get through points 1-12 on the agenda.

The key to this boss is avoiding the naps and the disconnects to win. You’ll need one raid member to deal with the interruption of someone checking if the room’s being used. The tank should be keeping everyone on task, while the healer dispenses coffee and cookies. DPS should be focussed on keeping connections active and making sure the right screen is shared.

Oh hang on a ‘J’ RPG.
The dating part of it would look like this this right:

and your team would look a bit like

Your friend would be a wise cracking animal and your boss would be an older man with lots of wisdom who eventually double crosses you and becomes the villain.

Very good.

I reckon there’s mileage in the cuddly sidekick thing. Maybe in the plot you’re an office worker who games a lot in your spare time, and your perception of the quest narrative is really just a probably breakdown induced by stress and the struggles of late capitalism - and your little foam stress toy cat on your desk is suddenly talking to you!

This is bound to pick up some awards.

Sounds like a winner to me mate. Clearly the main character is an Otaku salaryman.
Throw in some evil corporate types with demonic possession and we can get this thing greenlit.

Coworker is loudly sighing.
How can you avoid finding out what’s bothering the twat this time?

But unbeknownst to you she has set into motion the plan that will help you defeat the final boss (she has emailed hr with a formal grievance on your behalf)

Put your headphones on.

Co-worker leaves for the day, then comes back for their scarf

‘Monday already, is it? Aha ha ha ha haaaa!’

Critical hit, 2000 damage!
