No change from my side.

Playing Trails in the Sky: SC as my main game, made quite a headway in chapter two, should be nearing the end of it, but still couple of side quests remaining. It’s still early game though, so going to take me couple of months.

Played a little bit of Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, game has opened quite a bit, still enjoying it, but not much to say about it yet.

Dust: An Elysian Tale, turned out to be a much smaller game than I expected. I think I played 3-4 hours of it, and according to saves, I am at around 45%. Don’t know how it calculates the percentage, it’s possible I may end the game even before 100%, let’s see.

Couple of thing I found interesting in the game. You can find either equipment or their blueprint as a loot. If you find blueprint, you need looted material to craft it. You can also buy the material, but in start shops only have 4-5 materials, so you have to first sell at least one of each material before it will start getting stocked in shops.

Another interesting thing is leveling up stats. There are 4 different stats. Attack, Defense, “Magic” and Health. And your max stat can’t be more than 4 level higher than your lowest stat. So you can’t just put everything in attack or defense.

My one big complaint is saves though, you can only save at specific points, and while save points are abundant, there are certain parts where you can die easily and once you do you have to load a previous save.

It’s a decade old game though, so I guess this can be forgiven.

That’s all from me, what about all of you? What have you been playing

    Played more Echoes of Wisdom. I haven’t done much, though. My motivation took a nosedive when I explored around the southwestern parts of Hyrule Field. The open world aspect really doesn’t work for me in 2D, the area just felt too big and empty.

    I’m putting the brakes on Civ 5, not because I want to, but because I have to. I finished another game today and I’m henceforth limiting myself to one game per month. I’m really just trying to win one match per civilization for now, so I’ll be done with that in a few years at this rate.

    So in its place, it’s finally time to tackle Lightning Returns, the third game in the Final Fantasy 13 trilogy. I’m not sure what to expect. Though most points of criticism are absolutely valid, I thought the first game was much better than people say. The second one is exactly as bad as people say, though. It had some good ideas, but it just didn’t feel right.

      The map isn’t that big in Echoes of Wisdom, but yeah, there is more to do that I initially expected.

      Heh, that’s how Civilization is. Good luck!

      I didn’t play the full 13 trilogy, but I liked the first game.
