Also starting the game as a thief was maybe a poor choice lol You get the master key for free though! It lets you pick a more combat oriented gift in the beginning and get your character rolling.
I intentionally didn't start with master key for my first run through because I didn't know where I was going anyway, so opening up side paths and shortcuts and all different stuff would have definitely confused me.
I still haven't decided if I'm gonna get it for my 2nd run through.

I keep wandering into these places where I'm totally out of my depth. That place with wights was giving me trouble but I cleared most of it thanks to those curses that let me hit the undead. Then the place right next to where the eagle puts you with the regenerating skeletons that followed me ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE BONFIRE AGH

You're trying to ring the 2nd bell I assume?
My recommendation would be to not go through New Londo ruins (something I should actually go back through and clear), or the Catacombs (regen skeletons). Let's put it this way - I rang the 2nd bell quite a long time ago, and I now am considering going into the catacombs. I have like 4 boss souls that I need to get to continue, so I now have to decide where I'm going, find them and kill them.

New Londo Ruins I think was supposed to be the second last boss area.
Edit: Also play the DLC

Having watched more of the PvP side of Dark Souls and not the speed running, I think the fastest speed run is with the pyromacer class and just flinging pyromancies at bosses. Takes a ton of souls to get a +5 Ascended Flame though, my god...I think I had to grind O&S like 15 times, Golem 10 or so times, and a few other bosses to get it just to +15 normally.
I think it takes around 1.2million souls for a fully upgraded flame? Would have to double check the wikia, I just know it's rediculously powerful and funny to use in PvE.
New Londo I generally do before Ravelord I think, it's been a while since I've played through the game, currently replaying all of the old FE games I have >.>

I really enjoy pyromancies - it made Havel a joke when I actually got the watchtower basement key and fought him.

yeah i played another game after you guys left haha. getting up an hour later does not mean more sleep it means more smite.
getting a ride to work is far superior than taking the bus tho.

I'm not sure if I had 2 hours of sleep last night... took damn long to fall asleep and I went to bed so late. z_z After raging at WoT even, what a waste of time.

in retrospect, I probably should've started on Normal and not Hard since it's my first real tactical combat play through
If you do some thinking, it's not that hard. But yes Normal might be better to start on since there's no exp reduction or internal cap, there's far more stuff to abuse and it's easier to grind if you need to.
Hard Mode is ok. A lot of it is thinking more than anything else. One of the up sides is that you don't need to rush missions. The complete flexibility you have in being able to reclass and do anything you want is perhaps a bit of a burden if you're new since you won't know exactly what's going on and it's easy to get drowned in options... If you need anything just PM me.

Pro tip: if you go to the DLC/Online options most of the "extra battles" are free so you can get easy EXP from them.
You don't need to abuse DLC like Golden Gaffe and EXPonential Growth although it helps. The most positive thing though is that Infinite Regalia means you never have to feel bad about "wasting" the Legendary weapons. (Although you should be using Armsthrift on anyone who has that ability anyway!)
Rogues and Redeemers 3 for Limit Breaker to hit the 50 Luck Cap on -LCK MUs, Lost Bloodlines 3 for Paragon for faster grinding and Smash Brethren 3 for Iote's Shield are probably the other key ones unless you want the DLC classes.

Is that the original Final Fantasy Tactics with the superfk OP Calculators, or the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance where for some reason you were allowed to obtain the Cinqueda like 3 missions into the game making it absolutely hilarious?

Original FFT. I'll admit that you can just decide to get rid of the challenge with TG Cid (to some extent) and Calculators (overall), but if you don't it's a really fun and challenging strategy game. Also the story is dope no matter what.

Got an email from Riot saying that my summoner name is at risk of being open for someone else to take. I'd have to patch, log in, and play a game to prevent this from happening.

Old neighbour of mine killed himself this afternoon. You'd never have expected it.
FML.
I'll just say that anyone who reads this and has issues, just talk about it to someone. Doesn't matter if it's a stranger, your mom or a friend. Even when you see no way out, someone else might.
It seems to be getting more common too. Mostly men.
