One year of Trails. I'm finally caught up. I'm so amped to be caught up for Beyond the Horizon in Jan.

I bought the first game back on PSP, but never really played it. Now I've finally set things right lmao.

Here's my overall ranking and steam playtimes for the series.

Daybreak 2 is done. Can't believe I've finally caught up with the series.

Good improvements to the mechanics, great character moments throughout, Most Woke JRPG, but unfortunately it has the worst "A Plot" of the entire series.

The only game in the series that feels like an irrelevant filler arc.

My brother flew back home and brought his new dog. I've never seen a dog this cute.

everyone dislikes genai in games, but kids and story-focused players the most.

sounds like we'll be ok. just have to stay the course here and the "inevitable" new technology nobody likes will die. again.

I think its really funny that all these shareholder q&as about the latest tech fad are all the same, ai, blockchain, whatever. This shit is identical.

yes mr shareholder we love the newest tech that the entire world economy is dangerously hinged on.

I dont see myself playing these remakes anytime soon. If i replay Sky, i'd most likely choose the originals since that first translation and voice work is a big reason why i love those games so much.

Plus i love the isometric style of the old games

Trails: We need to stop the anti-immigrant terrorists and their white supremacist agenda

Also Trails: Fans really don't like the new Mishy redesign, please stop them before they bomb the local mall

the thing is that this guy keeps being like, "god no you idiots, we don't use AI for THAT" and then keeps narrowing down what they actually use GenAI for to the point where it's not even clear to me what productivity gains it's supposed to be providing.
here is his new cope

My insanely hot video game take of the day is that Ys I is better than Ys II.

i love that a significant portion of the population of the world believes in demons and the devil and satan. they just think this stuff is real and it genuinely scares them

today i feel fine, but im probably gonna do the same thing.

Finished Trails through Daybreak. I loved it. Best in the series since it went 3D. One more game to go before I'm caught up for January!

The cast and the writing are particular highlights for me. I really loved Van and the dynamic each of the characters had in this world and with each other.

i think its weird to be an adult and make bitter social media posts about a video game you admit you're not going to play
