Well, I beat the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I don't know what I feel about it. I'm mostly glad it's over and I don't have to play it anymore. There are some great moments. But there are also a lot of shit sidequests, abject idiocy, and the story goes to some places in the end that are a little ridiculous. There ARE things I like about it, and it's not just nostalgia - there's some good storytelling here. But you have to wade through a lot of junk. 

I've moved on from Dragon Quest 11, and am ten hours into Tales of Vesperia now. I played it originally on the Xbox 360, but never finished it. When it came out for Switch, I bought a hard copy of it, but I only dabbled in it until now. It's really a great game, and I forgot how enchanting the stories and characters can be in Tales games. The combat is a little dated now, but I have no complaints with it. The banter between the characters however, is timeless. 

Well, having beaten the main story of Dragon Quest 11, I'm losing momentum in the post game. And I started playing Tales of Vesperia, which is also a very good game. You know, I postponed my RPG blogs, cause in my next one, I wanted to talk about Lunar: Silver Star Story, and I told myself to play some of it first (I have it on my iPhone, though I've also played it on PSP, but not on the original Sega CD or PSONE). But tonight, at last, I'm here, I don't have any plans, and I think I'm going to pick up my phone and play some Lunar....

Well, I have to admit, my BaD performance this year is pretty disappointing. I was really looking forward to it too. But I will continue my RPG series once the month is over, and have some great ideas for it. The good news though is that last night I finally beat the main story of Dragon Quest 11. I was up til 3AM doing it (and slept til 10:30 this morning, which is highly unusual for me). However, I'm not sure I'm ready to say goodbye to these characters. The post-game beckons...

Well. There was a Nintendo Direct today, and while it wasn't everything I could have wanted, it was interesting. First of all, I have to buy Ninja Gaiden AGAIN. Dammit. Incidentally, I think the Ninja Gaiden collection is coming to PC too. 

Okay, I've been slacking with BaD, hopefully I can get better. If not, I'll just continue my RPG series into March. But today I'd like to talk about the games I've been playing.
