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.

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.

Randomly, Final Fantasy X. Picked it up again on a whim yesterday and have been playing it ever since. The music and the story's been spectacular so far, excited to get farther in it.

Really hoping they fix Nier soon, I really want to get back to playing it.

Great to hear. At the risk of sounding like a "causal", P5's probably my favorite out of the series (But I've only played 3-5, so maybe 1 and 2 are even better, who knows), so I do feel like it's deserved. Super great game.

Lots of Tales of Xillia Remastered this weekend. I love this game, so it's been a blast to go through it again.

Planning on picking up Tales of Xillia Remastered this weekend. Been waiting for this since it was announced (and even back when it was leaked a year ago), so I'm super excited. Love this game and its sequel so much.

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.

Fine with me. Waited this long to play Elden Ring, and I'd rather my experience be polished on Switch 2. I have tons of other games to work on in the meantime anyways.

Great news. In some ways I prefer 2 to 1, so I was hoping we'd get it as well. I really love the Xillia games, they're probably my favorites out of the Tales series.

Thanks for the review. I already picked this game up on PS5 last year, so I probably won't be picking this up anytime soon, but it's good to know it runs fairly well. Might pick it up down the line if I want to run through it again though, I definitely prefer playing these kind of games on a handheld.

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.

I picked this up last month, but have barely had time to get through it, what with Trails in the Sky and Final Fantasy Tactics.

Glad to hear they fixed the online thing. Before I maxed all my jobs out I'd rely on Abilink for builds, and entering sleepmode would require me to reenter the game so I could use those builds again. I've already done everything since launch, but I am glad they've fixed that.

Final Fantasy Tactics and Trails in the Sky for me this weekend. I’m having a blast with Tactics, it’s crazy it’s taken me so long to give it a shot, it’s awesome.

I wish you luck! I love watching the videos you do, thank you!

Great to hear! I'll probably be getting it, but the demo will be a good chance to test performance.

Looking forward to this! I've started WotL a few times but never got too far in it. Excited to actually run through this, I know it's praised for a reason.

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.

A pipe dream of mine would be actual ports of the Kingdom Hearts series, instead of those terrible cloud versions we got. As far as things I think we'll get, I do hope we get some information on the new Tomodachi Life. Other than that, I don't have any hopes, I'm just excited to see what we end up getting.

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.

Shame. I haven't played this game yet and was really excited to finally go through it.

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.

Been playing a LOT of Xenoblade Chronicles 3 this week, been finishing up all the Hero Quests I never finished during my playthrough a few years back. Also might be getting some Ace Attorney in if I can fit it in. I'm almost done with the first game (Turnabout Goodbyes) and I'm really liking it.

Still recovering from a pretty bad shoulder injury, so I’m taking it easy and playing some Bravely Default HD and some AI: The Somnium Files. I’m wanting to pick up Guardians of Azuma but as someone who doesn’t usually play farming sims I’m debating whether or not to pick it up.

Getting in some Yo-Kai Watch 4 today, as well as testing out some games and their performance on Switch 2, like Trials of Mana and Ni No Kuni II.

Glad to hear it’s coming to Switch 2 as well. I usually buy my games digitally, but it’s too bad it’s a key card for those who buy physical.
I’ll pick it up eventually, I just gotta finish…Sky 2 & 3, the Crossbell Games, Cold Steel IV, Reverie, Daybreak 1 & 2…well, I’ll get to it someday. This is an amazing series, but good grief, there are a lot of them.

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.

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.

My absolute favorite 3DS game, extremely excited to pick this up. I’m mostly a digital buyer anyways so this doesn’t bother me all that much. Time to head back to Luxendarc!

Been needing a new controller for a while, so after reading this article I bit the bullet and ordered one (dark blue). It’ll be nice to have a decent controller for once.

Really excited to play this tonight (drops at 10:00 for me in Utah), and that trailer hyped me up even more.

Excellent news, as expected. Wish Thursday would be here already.

I’m tempted to get this. I already have all three games on switch, but if those Live Novels are the radio dramas we never got translated, I’m definitely considering picking it up. Seems there’s some gameplay tweaks too.

Got the urge to play some Xenoblade this weekend, so I’m going through my New Game ++’s for both 1 and 2. At some point I’d love to go through 3 again, but as it stands I still have no urge to go through it.

I thought it was pretty good! Champions looks like it could be fun, and ZA looks like it'll be a blast when it comes out.

Man, I feel like the minority here, I’m really excited for this! X was my first Pokémon game, so I have a soft spot for Kalos already, and I thought the game looked great! Maybe a little rough around the edges, but I couldn’t see anything too bad with it. Battle system looks amazing, I’m very excited for this.

Been getting in some Skyward Sword HD this week, it's been awhile since I've played it so it's been a blast to go through one of my favorite Zelda games again.

Very excited for this. Never really played it on Wii U, so I’m hyped to actually go through it this time. Glad to hear it runs well, not that I had any doubts. Monolith Soft are absolute wizards when it comes to their games. Preordered already and excited for next month!

Finally picked up Dragon Quest III HD-2D a yesterday, so I’ve been going through that this weekend. Having a lot of fun with it, it’s the first time I’ve really gone through DQ3 and I’m having a blast. It’s definitely a classic DQ game though, tons on grinding.

Gah, 23/24. Forgot what the Troupe Leader’s Mask was called.

Beat Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories (PS4) last night (Sora Side) as part of my goal to play through the series in release order (Beat 1 last month), so I'm gonna finish up Reverse/Rebirth today and potentially start up 2 if I have the time. This was the first time I've gone through ReCoM, and my opinions on it are mixed. The card system is simultaneously really fun and the worst KH battle system ever, somehow. Really excited to get back to 2, it's my favorite out of the series (though that seems to be the norm).

Getting over a cold today, so I'm staying home and getting in some Tales of Graces f Remastered. Bought it last week on launch and now that the week's over I have some more time to get into it. I might also get some Bravely Second in as well, but mostly going to be focusing on Graces.

Awesome, glad it’s finally here. Super funny that the Direct is on my birthday though, thanks Nintendo?

Got some finals this weekend so not a whole lot of gaming, but I’ve been playing FF6 Pixel Remaster, so probably a bit of that, as well as some more Persona 5 Royal if I get the chance.

I really need to go through this again. I bought Perfect Chronology a few years back, loved every second of it, and then never did the bonus content. The game gives you the option to either play the DS version’s story straight through and keep the bonus stuff at the end, or integrate it into the main story. Choosing the former, I was pretty much done with the game after beating it. Still, super good game and a great story, I need to do a run with the classic DS art (it was offered as DLC) sometime.

Man, the UK pins are way better than the magnets. Shame.

Started Luigi’s Mansion on 3DS a few days ago for Halloween, so I’ll probably go through that some more later today. Other than that, probably a bit more Genshin Impact, trying to go through the event before it runs out of time.

Now the only games I’d like from the Wii U are the two Zelda remasters and Nintendo Land, but that last one isn’t really possible on switch, so yeah, it’s been a wild ride, thanks Wii U.

WE'RE STUCK ON ANOTHER PLANET AGAIN? This is incredible for a RANDOM TUESDAY! Super excited to pick this up when it comes out, I freaking love Xenoblade. Never got too far on this one on the Wii U, but I'm really hyped to get back into it.
