This is the game that's been sitting in my backlog the longest since I joined Grouvee so I've been taking another crack at it on the Switch. My original playthrough was on the 3DS (in 2011, holy moly!) and I decided to go back and check how far in I got before falling off of it.

I can't wrap my head around how I managed to log so much time into only the first 10 chapters.

Over 23 hours logged at chapter 10

For reference, my Switch playthrough is currently showing ~6 hours and I'm at chapter 8. I know I didn't improve that much since back then. It gets even weirder when I check the activity log on my 3DS, which has a much more reasonable estimate of 11 hours logged. It's not like I ever cleared my activity log so that should be accurate.

What happened here? Maybe 3DS sleep mode shenanigans with how Sacred Stones records playtime?

Preparing for the launch of the new Fire Emblem games has never been this fun.
