Yeah it's not very rich in terms of content and exploration, similar to the original Nier.

About 16 hours into Atelier Ryza 2 and still having a good time. Also starting The Last Remnant which has a really unique battle system so far, bad tutorials and all.

New Tactics game guys! I'm a big fan of the OG FF Tactics and Tactics Ogre. From the makers of Octopath Traveler I see. Hopefully, they don't make it insanely difficult and annoying like Octopath Traveler. OG FF Tactics wasn't a hard game.

I tried the demo.
Itll probably be just as hard and keep the same obtuse name.
I enjoyed Octopath for about 50 hours till getting worn out by the grinding.

Octopath OST has some awesome and memorable tracks.
I love going back to my rig and listening to RPG OSTs.

Recently went back to play FF13 since it’s release and really like it.

FF13 has an amazing OST.

Oh nOO! I got so fed up with the bosses that took me almost an hr to try to beat, and end up dying. I got so fed up and tried the trainer to level up quickly, but what happened was the AI actually adjust it's difficulty based on my leveling (this means grinding is useless when faced with later bosses, this is so cheap!). I leveled up to 99, and the AI matched the difficulty! There is no point to grinding, all it does is waste your time. Just use the trainer to level up in minutes! The best way to beat these bosses are to buy the best equipment, and you have to run around digging to find them. This game was made to waste so much of your time! It really pisses me off!

It's too bad because I really like the battle mechanics. I luv the boost and breaking system. Probably the most engaging battle mechanics I've played.

Octopath OST is brilliant I agree!

Kingdom Hearts 3 coming for PC? Should I start with this one if I'm new to the series?

There was an article today saying that playstation will be having final fantasy VII remake as one of its free games in March. It was a "leak" so take this with a grain of salt. Would be cool, though.

Yeah FFVIIR is a PS Plus game this month. Doesn't get PS5 upgrade though.

I had a good time with it but wasn't blown away. Fantastic OST and character models though.

Playing Bravely Default II on Switch and it's great so far (10 hours in).

I can't wait for Arise. After I'm done with some upcoming reviews, I'm gonna sink some time on Saga Frontier Remastered. I loved the game back in the 90s.
