I actually refunded it cause I hit a wall with the first boss and hadn't really been having a ton of fun (it was fine) up to that point, so I didn't feel invested enough to keep beating my head against the wall to get through it.

Gave in. Don't disappoint me, Todd!

Snap.

 

Unlocks 1am UK time so I won't get to it until after work tomorrow, but also due my PC back Saturday (I'll post about that proper once I get it back and hopefully not DOA this time) so I'm umming about whether to do that start on my min spec laptop for the start, or wait until PC is in and play from the start in full glory.

Pleasantly surprised that NISA brought back the free soundtrack for the english launch. I was still kicking myself for not buying the port during the initial launch but at the time I couldn't really justify spending money on a game that didn't yet have english support. I really hate their practice of having bonus stuff only available during launch week. I'm still missing the soundtracks for Cold Steel III and IV because of this bullshit.

 

Anyway, I'm really hyped for this one. I love the main Trails games but they really don't scratch the same classic Falcom action-RPG itch that games like Ys Origin did. Hell, even modern Ys games are kind of a different beast. This might be the last one of this kind that we get, sadly.

Bought some DLC

I imagine Separate Ways is fairly short so it should be easy to slot in but I'm super torn on Phantom Liberty now. I told myself I'd wait before starting a new Cyberpunk playthrough because I'm still not done with Starfield but those glowing reviews are seriously making me reconsider. I think I'll just finish NG in Starfield and shelve it for now. Although coming back to a Bethesda game after Cyberpunk is going to be rough lol.

 

Anyway, I also got some dirt cheap JRPGs that I don't have time to play

I've had alerts on gg.deals for historical lows on Romancing Saga 2 and 3 for a while and finally got a ping on them, so it seemed as good a time as any to grab 'em. Scarlet Grace was more of a "why not while I'm here" impulse purchase...

And just like that my Trails collection is complete again. Except for Daybreak I guess, but there's little point in buying it before the english localization comes out. No idea when I'll actually be able to play it since I have quite a few games to get through first but I figured I'd grab it the next time it went on sale because why not.

Got a Steam release out of nowhere after 3 years, so of course I had to. These games were my shit back in the day. I kinda hope this is indicative of (or at least testing the waters for) a potential TPHS 3+4 because that one getting cancelled because they devs got folded into Blizzard was some idiotic shit.

I want this one but those PC requirements are insane AND it's Epic exclusive so when I get around to it I guess I'll be getting the PS5 version.

 

Yeah, it's the first game in like a decade that I'm actually considering pirating. Normally I'd just wait out the exclusivity period but in this case it's likely to be permanent. I don't fault Epic for funding it when no one else would but I'm still not buying it on the fucking EGS lol.

I absolutely loved the first one and I've been anticipating the sequel for years, so it was a no-brainer. The bundle with the first game brought it down 25%, so I pre-ordered even though I won't play it immediately. I'll probably start it just to check it out but right now my focus is on a certain other highly-anticipated sequel that I'm totally not playing a pirated copy of or anything. I would definitely never do something like that. Why do you ask?! Shut up, Ethan!!!
