i'll see you in heaven if you make the list

I have finally beaten Miitopia! \o/

It only took me three goes at the final boss, which wasn't too bad. I did have to do some grinding in between the second and third attempts, and actually formulate some sort of strategy, but then on the third attempt, I did it!

Miitopia is a very silly game (complimentary), and I enjoyed it a lot. It was good to be able to play something that didn't really require much thought from me, and it was nice to curl up on a chair with a handheld device.

And now I have started Bravely Default, which I have wanted to play since I first heard about it existing. I am not very far in - I've literally just collected the main party members - but I am very charmed by it already. I love how the backgrounds look, and the sprites on said backgrounds (but I always liked how 4 Heroes of Light looked, and this is a similar style; it was meant to be a sequel to that originally, so it makes sense that it has a similar style). I really like the way the battle system works, as well, although I'm not sure I fully understand it yet, nor do I have enough jobs or abilities to use it to its full potential yet. (I have three jobs plus freelancer at the moment).

I am also delighted that I can listen to the Japanese voice track! I am also surprised by how many words I recognise (not a lot, and I don't know what all of them mean, but I'm still impressed with myself anyway).

I am playing on Easy because I am old and my brain needs a rest right now. I can always change it if I want to later anyway.

I have also bought some games recently! (nobody is surprised)

I got Octopath Traveller in the Steam Summer Sale (and, amazingly, that was the only thing I bought, but I also had choice paralysis and was in work a lot, so didn't really have the time to look). I also have just bought Nier Automata and The Legend of Legacy (3DS version) second hand. I also thought about getting the Nier remake, but I don't really want it? I'll never play it because I can't take bro Nier seriously (sorry), and I'm happy enough that I already played and beat the original version.

(And I'm not 100% sure I really want Automata. At the moment it feels a little bit like "buying it just to have it" like I did with the Kingdoms of Amalur remake).

Anyway, I think that's it for the moment. I'm going to go and play some more Bravely Default while waiting for a parcel :)

I hope you have a great time with Bravely Default! It's such a charming game; the battle system is so interesting, the music is fantastic, and Edea absolutely delights me.

[muladhara]

I am really enjoying it so far! And I think I can see already why you like Edea :D (she is delightful)

That's how I bought the KoA remake, too, lol.

I hope you love Octopath ♥ it was the reason I wanted a Switch and I have not regretted.

Ideally I think I would like it on the Switch, but it was there on Steam so I thought, why not? (I mean also one day I may get a Steam Deck, but that day is not as yet). I hope I will like it - I've always been intrigued by the premise since I first knew about it.

At least one can still use controllers even on PC steam!

[muladhara]

Aye, that's true. And I'm glad, because I don't think my hands would be able to cope with keyboard and mouse.
