    Finished Trails of Cold Steel 4, started Trails into Reverie.

    Found that the middle part of Cold Steel 4 dragged, to the point that I stopped playing it and picked it up again. First started it August 2023. Thankfully I remembered enough to continue playing without restarting. I was playing through 3 and 4 on hard, but halfway through the final dungeon I dropped the difficulty to normal. The bosses just felt more like a chore on hard than a fun fight.

    Enjoying Reverie so far, though only about 10 hours in or so

      As much as I love Trails, I felt like each one of the Cold Steel games have a major pacing problem at some point. CS1’s was damn near the whole game, ugh.

      Reverie was a very refreshing change of pace on that front.

    None completed this month for me. I played a little Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance and will likely continue to do so this month. I keep trying Atelier Escha & Logy but it’s just not grabbing me. Not unusual for me with Atelier but feels worse this time somehow.

    Might try Breath of Fire IV. Also have had my eye on Fantasian: Neo Dimension, could pick it up if it’s on sale this month.
