Finished Persona 5 Tactica!
Most of my comments about this game are on the previous thread.
Overall a fairly simple game, but I had a good time with it. Worth mentioning that it doesn't seem to have much replay value other than playing or higher difficulties or trying to complete the Compendium.
Playing The Legend of Nayuta: Boundless Trails!
A very charming Action RPG from the makers of Ys.
It's stage-based, which makes it a good game for playing in short bursts, with the stages having specific "goals" that grant you bonuses if you manage to do it. I really like the "seasons" design, where after you beat a stage you can come back and play it in a different season of the year, which is effectively a new (and harder) stage based on the original one.
Combat is not as fluid as recent Falcom ARPGs, but it gets better as you unlock new abilities and spells. Story is fairly simple, but has that usual Falcom thing where the NPCs are interesting and fun to chat with. Though it also has some of the usual Falcom annoyances, like a decent amount of missables - so make sure to explore properly before going into a new chapter.
I believe I'm nearing the endgame (Chapter 6), though I haven't played much this past few days as I have been focused on other hobbies. Will resume and try to finish this one next week.
Honestly, it's just "beat more games than you buy". I have a gigantic backlog and I need to keep moving forward with it.
How long did it take you to beat Persona 5 Tactica?
I have heard good things about Boundless Trails, maybe I'll try it sometimes soon.
That's a good resolution. I usually only buy a game when I am ready to play it, or when I am sure I'll play it next and it's on sale, otherwise I don't buy games, no matter how good the sale is. Only backlog I have, is because of PS+, and all the games I keep adding to my list. But now I am thinking that I should ignore them too, for instance, I started Dragon Quest XI on PS because it as on PS+, even though I wanted to play it on Switch. So, going to ignore that from now on and just get the game where I want.
Around 20h.
I'm a physical game collector and I love some niche genres, so I tend to buy games early to avoid the risk of not finding them later.
Oh yeah, it's a completely different story for collectors.
Also, wasn't saying my way is the best. I often end up paying more than if I had bought games in good sales. 😀
