Very true, I'm currently binge watching Daria.
It’s important to forgive yourself and give yourself time to get back up on your own. There’s procrastination but then there’s self-care. Great things take time and that’s okay.
I know that feeling. I've been feeling pretty guilty as well, I was having a conversation with artist friend today where we shared the fact that both of us were told when we were younger how much potential we had and how neither of us are living up to it. Still, I've been having a rough few weeks and I'm starting to see that I need to calm down because I've been stressed out so much that I really need to relax a bit so I can refocus my energy.
I’m actually thinking about retrying the Last Story but... I don’t exactly have the time to be replaying a million games, sadly I’ve been playing more than usual lately but still. It took me a while to get over the guilt that I’m not writing anything over the long May weekend because, really, I needed the rest
Yeah, he was planed to appear at the Mirage Arena, but they scrapped the idea because he was already appearing in Dissidia Duodecim that year. Not sure why it mattered. but that's the story I've heard. Yeah, I feel the cameos were cool, but after the first game they just never felt as relevant as they could be. It probably never helped that they always felt more like fanservice than important. Man, I still should replay Xenoblade, it's been years, course I have several other Wii titles I really need to be getting back to...
I basically had to wait a year before I got a chance to restart it. Thanks for the music - will listen to it soon! Was a Laguna cameo actually planned? Cause that would’ve been awesome. Though I feel KH has really outgrown those camels, I still find them kinda neat and part of me wishes they kept adding them.
Ouch, that does sound like a bit of a sting, but considering how obnoxious Xenoblade does it's NG+, I feel it's more fun to play a fresh game. BbS has been interesting, definitely feeling the fact it's made for handheld and not console. I often felt KH2 was trying too hard to get out of worlds ASAP, but BbS is in another league. I'm on Proud mode, but it feels like how some people describe Critical Mode in other entries. Either I kill everything before they know what hit them, or I get killed before I know what hits me. I still like the command board better than KH2's system, maybe because it's more of an RPG trapping whereas KH2 was trying too hard to be Devil May Cry but had to deal with all those annoying numbers. Style Changes are beastly though, kind of forgot how OP they were. I also feel it was silly not to include Laguna in the Mirage Arena. He would have brought a lot of personality to that place and maybe help make it feel like a real world and not just one of the game's two mini-game hub worlds. Terra is warming up to me, I do feel Sleeping Beauty's world paints him as a bit of an idiot and selfish jerk though. I mean he believes he stole Aurora's heart but then decides to leave anyway instead of tracking down Maleficent to set things right. Comes across really awkward to me. I'd be farther along, but as a veteran of this title, I spend way too much time playing the board game. Also I've been getting a lot of love out of the D-Links, helped by the fact that Aqua's D-Link will give you your first access to the Cure spell instead of hoping to win it on the Keyblade board game. I've already maxed out my first three D-Links, just need to do Cinderella. Figured you would appreciate this:
Yeah, Suikoden music is nice. Just like the games itself, it’s very unique for its genre. Oh man, I know that feel. At least you didn’t end up accidentally deleting your 90h+ save file on Xoneblade coming back to what you said earlier - yeah, Terra is by far the least enjoyable to play as. It’s really lame that they recommend you start with him since I know it’s turned off a few people. Goes the game holding up gameplay-wise? Meanwhile, we’re having a long weekend since Wednesday, so I’ve spent yesterday and today just recharging my batteries. Tomorrow, though, I plan to write and finish up that side story number 1, so I might send you something to read soon
In BbS news, I finished Castle of Dreams, checked out the Mirage Arena where I was promptly curbed stomped, and then kicked Cinderella's ass at Command Board before I accidentally tugged my charging PS3 controller too hard and pulled my PS3 off it's holding area where it accidentally opened the slide and stopped the disc from playing. I don't even remember when I last saved... In other news, I've been listening to the Symphonic Suite and Celtic Arrangement albums for the Suikoden series and I really do forget how much I enjoy their OSTs. They've been pretty gorgeous albums so far.
So I broke down and checked out a Fragmentary Passage just to see how it played. While I didn't finish it, it's definitely a demo at best in the same vein as the Carbuncle Demo for FFXV, which mean it's plot is actually relevant but what you see is mostly here to test out features for the full game. Anyway, I decided to drop it and finally started Birth by Sleep. I just finished Enchanted Dominion with Terra. I'm still playing on Proud Mode. Kind of forgot how dull Terra was as a character, he's way too serious for his own good. I also miss being able to dodge properly...
