Finished Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes.

Finished Trails of Cold Steel II. Liked it better than the first game as there was very little annoying school stuff to deal with. Stakes felt a bit higher, and my experience with the first game was a big help in my battle strategy so the combat was more fun. LIke the first game, I did have to "Weaken and Retry" a few of the bosses. But I don't feel too bad about it - some of the bosses require very specific quartz configurations to stand a good chance, and I'm trying to get through these without consulting a guide every five minutes.

I thought I'd be burned out on the series by now, but I found myself starting Trails of Cold Steel III this morning and enjoying it very much. It's taking a little getting used to as they overhauled the UI from the first two games, but I think once I get accustomed it's going to be a nice improvement.

Finished Trails in the Sky: The 3rd. Overall, the story was interesting, and I still like the large cast of characters (even the additions). I didn't like the general dungeon crawl format of the game compared to the more normal narrative style of the first two.

It's a good sign when I tempted to play the next one right away. But when I do that, I usually get bogged down in the middle stages of the next game, and end up enjoying it less. So since I'm at the end of the first trilogy, I think I'm going to move on to something else. Right now, it's a toss-up between Eiyuden - Hundred Heroes or Unicorn Overlord (which i just picked up on PS5 on sale). Also a smaller change I hit up a smaller scale RPG from the emulated library. An early Dragon Quest or FF.

That and MLB:the Show, since I ditched OOTP and it's Perfect Team stuff.

And who knows what I'll spend time on with summer vacation starting in a couple weeks. Should be fun.
