I'll start off saying f' Windows 11. Not sure if any of ya'll got caught up with one of those recent KBs that's causing issues with SSDs. Seems every update screws something up on this computer. Explorer barely functions, etc. Now my damn controller decided it wants to start disconnecting while I'm recording. It made the final stretch of recording Jay a pain.
Speaking of, the Jay boss collection has been released. Attached in the post. I imagine there are a few Legendia fans lingering the community still, but someone out there likes Jay. While this was an inevitable project, it's nice to put closure to ideas and concepts Vercsase and I were trying to figure out about 14 years ago.
Someone asked for my thoughts about the Xillia remaster. I said most of it on twitter but to sum it up.
+ Getting Xillia out of PS3 jail + Some motion for the series - No significant additions. Another chance lost to fix the original rushed status of the game. - Not combined with Xillia 2. (Would be acceptable if Xillia had more content added. Artes, boss(es), etc) - Releasing the day after DQ HD-2D 1 AND 2 COMBINED. Sending that game to perish on release in JPN
You look at Trails and other RPG series and then look back at Tales. Yeah. Glad to see a lot of the community is realizing what time it is. Tales deserves better than Namco. 15 years I've been hearing "Be patient, be grateful for what we get." Time is really a flat circle. You'd think some folks have stock in Bandai. "But think about the shareholders!" "A company has to make money!"
Vesperia and Graces F set a nice standard for how enhanced titles should work. Xillia does not do so. Either way, I'll buy it to support but I'm not particularly interested in playing it again.
You're asked to spend money on a product but cannot levy criticism for said product. Incredible. Though, the Sky remake is a good chance for me to get back into Trails, so I look forward to that release.
Past that, coming off of recording Dawn and Legendia I'm ready to take a "break" in the sense of switching to some projects that I can turn my brain off. Maybe it's time to do the "final" Guy, Yuri, or something in that lane. We shall see in the days to come.
