@Snatcher Catchy as heck, that song. Have fun with the console, again. On NMS, no problem! You'd obviously have to put the disc in every time you want to play it but otherwise, that's another PS5 game!
@MarioLover92 Which day specifically? My thanks for the early wishes nonetheless, I hope yours goes well!
Dunno, not having any PS console, @Losermagnet .... I don't think that dlc makes any real difference, without it, she'll just join your party without that part covering it, lol Death Stranding is already on Steam & been on great sales, @TheJGG! I'll skip that one, thanks. FFVII R is on Epic, yes. I'm waiting for it to come to Steam, which will happen soon enough
@BruceCM Eh, I feel like there's a possibility of the other remake parts being as long as this one. I believe the one here is just the beginning of the original game, with a bit of fluff to fill it out. The two parts will probably be similar, but I imagine probably more open, given that you'll have access to the overworld this time around, and not just be confined to one city. It could be even longer possibly.
"It is fate. Many have tried, yet none have ever managed to escape it's flow."
Yeah, it was about how much of the 'story' gets covered, @VoidofLight ...... Proportionately, the 1st part may have extended the original more than the other parts, from what they did say about it themselves in promotional materials & so on! Or perhaps you're looking forward to another 4 parts over the next 12-15 years?
@BruceCM Eh, I just hope that if the other parts aren't as long, they end up being more akin to DLC that you can upgrade the game with, than just them making a new game itself. That way I don't have to pay 70 more dollars just to experience 10 more hours of the story.

I made deep fried sweet potato and potato wedges with crispy tofu, cream soup from my Mom, some basil leaves and mixed chili paste with sesame seed salad dressing.
@Sunsy i'm trying to enjoy the holidays a little longer too by sitting by my Christmas tree when I can. There's something peaceful about that kinda stuff I think. And thats great about the SMT V steelbook 😁 I think it looks gorgeous. Will this be your first SMT game?
@TheJGG ah, I hope your b-day plans come together. If anything the pandemic has made me appreciate when I get to do those types of things more, and live a little more "in the moment". You're in the UK, right? COVID in the States has been bad too. Nothing in my area has shut down, I don't think it has anywhere but I could be wrong about that, regardless the numbers are unnerving.
I'm not very tech-savvy, so while I understood Astro was a controller tech demo a lot of the other references probably went over my head lol. It took until a second or third play through for me to get 'SSD Super Highway' 😅
@VoidofLight that is one area where I will say Dark Souls is challenging - going through areas and not being sure where the next bonfire is. It plays like a survival game then. If you're heading towards the second boss that would put you at the Undead Burg I take it?
@BruceCM ah my bad. Is that content a PS exclusive? Yeah they'll definitely add her in regardless lol. I'm wondering how they'll structure the subsequent Remake games. 3 games kinda makes sense: 3 acts, the original game had 3 discs.
I have tried trading Pokemons from Pokemon X and Pokemon Y since i have two 3DS USA machines and the games so i exchanged the weak Pokemons i got from Pokemon Y as i played from beginning with some level 20 - 30 Pokemons from my Pokemon X. 😁
I was "cheating" a little bit.
@TheJGG Sorry for the late reply bro! I only got the chance to listen to it just now and I swear I could listen to this all day lol! Quite literally the perfect song from Xenoblade 2 to cover during winter Also happy early birthday man! Are you going to be doing anything fancy?
@Losermagnet Yep, Undead Burg. I think things are more challenging in the beginning, since stamina and health are generally low at this point, but eventually it should end up getting better.
"It is fate. Many have tried, yet none have ever managed to escape it's flow."
Nah, none of FFVII R is on Steam yet, @Losermagnet ..... I'm sure it will come there soon enough, EGS like paying for temporary 'exclusives' All we know for sure at the moment is they're still working on part 2 & it'd have to be at least 1 more after that but whether it's more than that .....
@X-Slayer You're good, no worries. I'd love to have a new Donkey Kong platformer too. I still remember those rumors about Nintendo making a 3D DK game of their own. That'd be cool if that actually happens...especially if it's gonna be even better than Donkey Kong 64.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
@tekoii Indeed, do you feel any better? Yeah, I was also surprised my brother's family surprised me with the steelbook edition of SMT. Thanks I'm having fun with it, I'm still pretty early in the game too. I think four hours in, I got to the Tokyo Tower battle in Da'at. Hope you get to see it, I loved it when it was in theaters.
@Snatcher I agree, it is kind of the point. Daniel's ad in season 1 saying "we kick the competition" was cheesy and I loved it. Been watching Cobra Kai before it was on Netflix, mom found out about the show and we paid for a month of YouTube premium to watch it, we finished season 1 in a day, lol.
I ended up surprising her one Christmas with the season 1 and 2 DVD set, we didn't keep YouTube premium outside one month to watch the show.
@MarioLover92 Wow, that price. I think I had Shining Force on a Sega PC collection from the early 2000's. I also have Shining Resonance Refrain on Switch, but that was more of an RPG. The only Sega strategy games I have on PC is Dawn of War and Company of Heroes 2, the latter was given away as a freebie. Other strategy games I've played include the Command & Conquer series.
@Losermagnet Nice, I'm still watching Christmas movies (your avatar reminds me, I still need to watch A Charlie Brown Christmas) since we have a bunch of them on DVD. For tonight, renting Clifford The Big Red Dog. Loved the books as a child, so I'm looking forward to watching it. Still have the first book too. Got to be the lights, I find the lights relaxing, I keep my bedroom lights up all winter.
Surprisingly, no, it's not my first SMT. I actually have two 3DS SMT games. I bought Strange Journey Redux years ago at a local shop, and have SMT IV digitally. How I got into SMT was believe it or not Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. When I found out it was originally planned as a SMT x Fire Emblem crossover, my curiosity got the better of me since I never heard of SMT. Found Strange Journey Redux in a store, last copy they had, bought it, and been a fan since.
Fun part about playing Tokyo Mirage Sessions, I got really familiar with the exploit weakness concept. So much, that I beat SMT IV's Minotaur on my second try, I knew what I needed to do after figuring out its weakness. SMT IV spoiler: Seeing a destroyed Tokyo underneath that village, that I didn't see coming and I'm getting goosebumps as I type this. I loved it.

@Anti-Matter I'm now curious enough about Gaist Crusher that I may do my own homework on the franchise. Though I suspect it's a game/franchise that really flew under the radar overseas, if it never made it out of Japan. It's fine that you picked up Ni No Kuni on the PS3; I suspect it's cheaper than more modern releases...or the Switch tax for that matter.
As for Megaman/Rockman Star Force: Pegasus, once again, good find! It's increasingly harder, at least in the North American and even aspects of the EU market, to find even used games at what I'd call a reasonable price. It make me happy I grabbed most of the 3/DS games I wanted pre-pandemic.
@Sunsy I did go watch Encanto yesterday evening! It was a very enjoyable movie, some very nice musical numbers, animation, and an interesting plot. Bruno is now my spirit human after Shota Aizawa from My Hero Academia. I did also end up grabbing a regular popcorn. Not that I needed all the salt, but it was delicious!
@MarioLover92 I really like animals in general, dogs, cats, and even some of the sorts people won't touch (reptiles, rodents, etc.) included. That said, I slightly prefer cats over dogs. They're more independent, they (usually) don't have a smell that requires constant bathing, and they're generally quieter in my experience. I really enjoy dogs too, though I do slightly prefer medium and large breeds over small ones.
@Snatcher First of all, hope you're enjoying the PS5! I may jump over to the PS ecosystem someday, but my Nintendo systems and low-end PC games keep me more than occupied for now lol.
I thought about bringing my own candy, but I don't try to eat it often (moreso now that we're past the holidays; as usual I went a little overboard. ). Plus, the theater frowns on that.
@TheJGG Costume gathering you say? Nothing I haven't fielded in a JRPG before, but I suspect that's made a little more difficult with the dated graphics. For some reason, I thought FFVII Remake was supposed to cover roughly the first 1/3rd of the original game? Or has SE backpedaled on that statement and expanded the release slate like you say? If so, it'll be interesting to watch what they do next. I confess I haven't kept up to speed on the FFVII:R releases since they're out of my reach for now.
I did receive Metroid Dread as a Christmas gift, and I look forward to the day I do get to it. Hopefully within the next couple of months, but that depends on how fast I get through XC2, my next side game (leaning towards Ori and the Will of the Wisps), and potentially Pokemon Brilliant Diamond if I cave to FOMO and get it for the limited time Manaphy distribution. You've touched on one of my favorite aspects of the Metroid series: the puzzles. The exploration, upgrades, and some excellent boss fights keep me coming back. Glad that you're enjoying your time with the title!
While I can't fully confirm your comments on the music yet - as I haven't played the entire game - so far I do agree. XC2 has some amazing tracks, but overall both XCX and XC:DE win over it in the music department for me. I love Nia's (and by extension, the Gormotti) Welsh(?) accent. As for my progress...none to report since my last post. I spent my gaming time the last couple of evenings wrapping up Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask to my satisfaction. I hope to dive back into Alrest this evening.
@tekoii Will do! I'm enjoying my time with the game so far, though as mentioned above I took a couple days off so I could wrap up Miracle Mask.
@Tyranexx
So far i played Gaist Crusher 3DS until mission 4, the game was heavily visual novel style for the storyline delivering with Japanese voiceover and anime style cutscenes. The gameplay was in a small area and some Gaist (monsters) around the area and you have to defeat them all. The gameplay was like standard action games (imagine Kingdom Hearts) with 2 different stances (Offensive or Defensive) as the character will draw their huge weapon when you change their stance.
About Ni no Kuni, was the Familiar much like Pokemon games style ? (Capture them, train them, use them in battle, take care of them, pet them)
(Checking from wikipedia)
Gosh !
There are 451 Familiars in Ni no Kuni. 😲
Been playing some more Paper Mario, and I just started chapter 2. Still love this game. Too bad I have to charge my Wii Remote's batteries soon, though. lol
@Sunsy Oh that's cool, the other strategy games I've played include the Fire Emblem and Advance Wars series. I just remembered another game I got a long time ago, it was called Starship Defense which was on the DSi Shop. That was a real time strategy game where you'd protect your ship from enemies. You'd do things like install turrets that shoot any enemies within their vicinity. It was one of the better DSiWare games. And of course, being a huge Nintendo fan that I've always been, I played the Pikmin series as well.
@X-Slayer Oh that's cool, and yeah I do like quite a few of Donkey Kong 64's ideas. It was quite the ambitious game for its time, and I like some of its worlds too. Some parts of the game were pretty frustrating for me though, most notably certain minigames that the game has you do.
@Tyranexx Same here, I do like animals in general too, and I'm also exactly the same way in regards to cats and dogs. Yeah, cats are generally more chill from my experience, and they are easier to take care of. Oh and glad to hear you also enjoyed Encanto - the more I think about it, the more I want to watch it.

Clifford The Big Red Dog was a lot better than I expected it to be. Was a fun and heartfelt movie to someone who grew up reading the books, still have a copy of the first Clifford book as well.
Not gonna lie, I never thought I'd hear a villain address the name "Emily Elizabeth" so sternly in a movie. I like that Mr. Bridwell was a nod to the book's author too.
@Tyranexx Glad to hear Encanto was good. Hoping to see it one day. Sounds like you treated yourself to the popcorn, that's fine as it's not often one eats movie popcorn.
@MarioLover92 I actually bought the original Fire Emblem when it came out on Switch. Cool, never heard of Starship Defense. I was late to the DSi party and the first DSi game I played was on 3DS. I think it was a copy of Pro-Putt Domo I got from Club Nintendo. Starship Defense sounds really awesome. Surprisingly I haven't played Pikmin, outside of a GameCube that was set up in a local McDonalds (anyone remember those?).
