So I got that thing that is a pretty massive spoiler and also massively awesome!

Played a tiny bit of this yesterday. Did two more hunts. I think I'm getting close to ready to move on in the story.

Played even more yesterday. Doing side quests. They are really opening up and giving me stuff I don't think I can complete yet.

Played too much of this yesterday evening. Finished another (awesome) dangerous area then got a spell that seriously opens the game up. Time to do some backtracking and heart hunting!

Continued and made it to the next town, another really cool one with specific Ghibli roots/inspiration. Continuing to feel like I don't have enough heart things for all these side quests! :)

I need to get back on this before it goes into the pile of unfinished games I'll never get back to. Seems like if I don't touch a game for about 3 weeks, it's never getting played again.

Played a bit more last night. Was given my first broken heart quest where the proper missing heart piece wasn't immediately available. Trying to decide how much hunting I want to do...

I played a whopping 20 minutes last night maybe. I'm just too tired during the week to sit down with this game for any length of time. I'm standing right outside the Wizard Trials, or whatever it's called.

Played more of this last night. Beat another boss after grinding a bit. I'm playing this game more with a constant melee approach... feels like I'm not playing it "right". :)

I got in a couple of hours tonight. Fought a Nightmare, and picked up a party mate. The sidequests are getting a little tedious. Go get heart, give heart. Go get item, give item. I'm still compelled to keep on playing though.

Made it to the next town and dangerous area. The design on both are the best yet. So much charm.

Played more last night. First time I had to backtrack a bit but it didn't bother me. What does bother me is those damn "Look in the wizards book, solve a riddle, manually type it in in a case sensitive way" puzzles. Ugh!

This game's going to have to wait until the weekend because of our house guests. I think it's going to be a Persona 4 Golden night. Maybe a little Fire Emblem; who knows!

Made the seaside town. Gotta say, game is getting a bit slow and overwhelming cause my OCD has me reorganizing my familiars every 5 minutes.
