    Trip Report #1: Persona 25th FES in Osaka

    (“New” series! But this might be the first and last one because I don’t know what else is going on for me to visit 😂)

    I may not be the biggest Persona fan… but I’m still a big fan! I happened to be going to Osaka when I first saw the announcement on Siliconera, so I had to do whatever I could do go, even if it meant going immediately after spending most of my morning in another city. It was a looooong day, lol. I think the way it worked was that you had to get tickets the day of, so that morning I went to a Lawson convenience store and bought my ticket there. I wanted to get the limited edition goods, so I went for the more expensive option (~$30).

    I’ve hit a drama slump, which sucks… the last drama I finished was Unnatural (loved it). However, I have been filling the void with video games and I’m not too upset about it.

    Fire Emblem: Awakening

    My new favorite Fire Emblem game! Even over Fates! As far as gameplay goes, there wasn’t a lot that was different from its successor but I have to say the story was so much better. I didn’t find the narrative flimsy (look at that — it could all be explained in one game!) and the time-traveling babies mechanic made sense. Mostly! And as usual, the support system was top tier for me. I think I just liked the idea of a peace-seeking militia with all of these interesting characters… and there were so many of them! Even the newest acquisitions to the team were so, so good. (more…)

    As you might have noticed from my livetweets (follow me: @spacelovesdisco), I’m playing P5 again. The plan is to beat it this week so I can finally move on with my life!!! I haven’t played it since last July and I thought I would have a really hard time getting back into it, especially since I’m in the palace from hell (the spaceport was supposed to be the hard one, but this is just NEXT LEVEL), but I’m doing much better than expected… except for that time I got lost as a mouse and spent an hour retracing my steps 🙃

    Last night I managed to get 4/5 letters I was supposed to get in order to reach the boss/treasure. Unbeknownst to me (and this is what happens what you don’t play a game for 6 months lol), that was my first trip to the palace! NICE. If not for the fact that Akira was running low on SP, I would have pressed onward for the 5th. Also maxed out Futaba’s social link, which means I’m officially done with the confidants in my party! Now to make Iwai love me. LMAO

    What is blogging? How do I Photoshop? Long time no see to whoever is still reading my blog. I had a really busy April for mostly school related reasons, but I am free (for now). Some tings:

    Since I last talked about my adventures in gaming, I bought and finished Dual Destinies 2 Ace Attorney 6 – Spirit of Justice. Like Dual Destinies, it didn’t get interesting until the last two cases… which is unfortunate because I personally really loved the subject matter: birth secrets, JUSTICE, occultism… yaaas. The graphics were also more beautiful than I thought they could be and it almost makes me want a remake for the original trilogy… almost. And because I love the Ace Attorney series so much, I bought a Japanese 2DS just for Dai Gyakuten Saiban! When I beat it depends on my dedication to learning Japanese properly, but I hope to make it my summer project. I’d at least like to get it over with before Dai Gyakuten Saiban 2 is released!

    I also bought Pokemon Moon which remains unfinished. Don’t get me wrong, it’s cute and fun but my interest just kind of petered out after a few weeks… because I bought a PS4! I’m currently “playing” Final Fantasy XV and having a fun time with it so far even though I’m SHIT at battles and feel like I only understand what’s happening 65% of the time. If you asked me what the story’s about I honestly couldn’t tell ya. 💁💁💁

    Around the time I bought Pokemon and a PS4, Persona 5 was delayed from February to April. At first I was pissed (there goes my romantic Valentine’s Day plans!), but then I realized that this is the perfect opportunity for me to beat some CONSOLE games for once. The plan is to play through/finish FFXV all February long, finally (FINALLY) finish P4 in March, take spring break to play a bit of new Zelda, then drop everything for P5! I’M GONNA DO IT

    And a fun story about the featured image (at PAX West 2016): (more…)
