Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (24th January)

TheWanderingBard

I completely lied about waiting on FFVII, picked it up last night and planning on playing it today. It’s been running super well, I’m really enjoying it. I might also start FFII today, I finally beat FFI for the first time yesterday and have been wanting to go through them all number-wise. Undecided for now, but a lot of Final Fantasy for sure.

I’m almost done with KH3’s Data Fights, I have 3 left, so I want to get as many done as feasibly possible (I’m not expecting to beat Yozora for a while) this weekend. Other than that, I’ve been playing a lot of Xenoblade Chronicles X this week, so probably more of that. Just grabbed the Hresvelg Lord skell, but I’m too low level to use it, so I’ve been grinding a bunch.

After playing the DQVII Reimagined demo earlier this week, I've been in a pretty big Dragon Quest mood. I beat my replay of DQV the other day, so I'm debating whether to start up my replay of DQVI or actually go through DQIV for the first time. Gonna patch the DS version with the party chat feature for the best experience, whenever I get around to it. So, one of those this weekend.

Finally done with finals, so I’m free to play some more Tales of Xillia Remastered, along with some Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles X this weekend before I go back to visit my parents for the holiday break.
Been working on getting all the unique monsters and weapon upgrades done in XC3 now that I’ve finished all the Ascension Quests, and I’m working on filling out my FrontierNav in XCX when I get the chance.

Re: Review: Octopath Traveler 0 (Switch 2) - A Bit Of A Retread, But Unmissable (And Enormous)

TheWanderingBard

Geez, that's a long game. I'd really like to pick this up someday, but I still need to finish OT2, so it'll be a while. I've been burnt out on the Octopath style for a little bit, so this one will be down the line. It's not the HD2D style I dislike, I think it looks great, but there's just something about the UI and the blur that gives me a headache when I play.
Glad to hear it's packed with side-content, sounds like it'll keep people fed for a while.

Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade's File Size On Switch 2 Is Making Us Sweat

TheWanderingBard

That's a huge size, but luckily I don't have a massive library, and with a 512GB memory card along with the switch 2's memory, I have enough space for Remake once I delete a few games. Since I do that anyways after I beat a game (barring the exceptions like Zelda and Xenoblade), it won't be a problem once I finally get around to playing Remake.
I'm weirdly excited to play Remake on Switch 2, because while I have played it on PS4/5, there's just something about being able to play it on the go that rocks.
In any case, at least it's not a Cloud (heh) Version, still salty about Kingdom Hearts being a cloud game.

Tales of Graces f Remastered, trying to finish it up before Xillia drops next week. I think I'm getting pretty close, so hopefully I can finish it this weekend. Other than that, I might play a bit of Metaphor, I've barely touched it since it came out and have been wanting to go through it eventually. That one's definitely a maybe though, between Graces and homework I probably won't have the time for Metaphor.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (18th October)

Focusing on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter and Tales of Graces f Remastered this weekend. Wanting to beat Graces before the Xillia remaster comes out at the end of the month, so I’ve been playing that whenever I’ve had the chance this week.
No Pokémon ZA for me yet, though I do eventually want to pick it up. Wanting to work on some of the games on my backlog before I pick it up.

Re: Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave Charges Onto Switch 2 In 2026

TheWanderingBard

Looks great! I really like the Roman-esque style the game has going for it. Since it looks like it's related to Three Houses, I do still need to complete the other routes (I'm working on Golden Deer after just finishing Crimson Flower). Hopefully it operates more closely to how Awakening and Echoes were rather than a direct pre/sequel.

Surprisingly, not Silksong. I haven’t beat Hollow Knight yet even though I started it 5 years ago, so while everyone else was playing Silksong I got back into it yesterday. Still as fun as I remember.
I also picked up SMT V: Vengeance as my first SMT game, so I’m going through that while running through the 3rd semester again in my NG+ of Persona 5 Royal. Lots of gaming this weekend.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (16th August)

TheWanderingBard

Trying to get in some Tales of Graces f Remastered this weekend. If the Xillia leaks turn out to be true, I want to make sure I finish Graces by the time it comes out so I can hop in without any regrets. Got in a bit of The World Ends With You on my 3DS, I've owned it for a year but haven't touched the DS version really (Played Final Remix a while ago, love that game), so decided to play some this weekend.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition (7th June)

TheWanderingBard

Switch 2 games, obviously. Enjoying my time with Mario Kart World, as well as the Switch 2 editions of Breath and Tears. I’m also going through Bravely Default HD Remaster, since the original 3DS release is probably one of my favorite 3DS games of all time. Been loving it, but I do miss the “For the Sequel” additions the original US release had, like Bravely Second, the Hourglass, etc.
I also tried out the Card-En-Ciel demo earlier today, and really enjoyed the gameplay loop. Might pick it up if it goes on sale.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (5th April)

TheWanderingBard

Might play a bit of Bravely Second or Pokémon Ultra Moon. I haven't used my 3DS in a bit so I'm kind of feeling the urge today. That, or I'll get in some manga reading, I recently picked up a few volumes of Jojo part 4, so I want to get that in as well as game. I'd be playing Xenoblade X, but I've been feeling really burnt out ever since I unlocked Skells. There's just a lot to manage and my brain doesn't want to do all that right now.
