Ooh, more Star Ocean 2R anniversary stuff! An interview this time, and more new art!

It's Star Ocean 2R's 2nd anniversary - I had no idea! Just saw this lovely art on the other site, and while I'm not the biggest Leon fan, this new art of him and Dias is certainly cute!

I think I needed the reminders to look after myself better with this app, but I’m having more fun looking after my little birb.

Aiming to make little Siskin‘s home like a fully furnished nest box.🥰

I'm loving these new templates from Ellipsus. They look so good!

There’s so much coming up this week, and the fact that maintenance is twice as long is a little daunting to me. Still, those are some nice rewards and upgrades, even if I’m going to leave the next chapter of Side Sol for a while!

It took a while, but my news finally works! And what a shock when it finally did appear... I thought these two would come much later!

It’s a big update this week, so I’m a little nervous, but here’s hoping it all goes well. 🙂

Assuming this is the same person, I had no idea that Tomoya Asano worked on one of my favourite games in the early 2000s.

I used to play Star Ocean: Till the End of Time so much... It's nice to find that Asano has been involved in quite a few of my favourite games over the years! 💜

Even though it’s this late in the year, we’ve still got some colour in the garden. I love these chrysanthemums - they’re always so cheerful, especially when the weather is grim. 🥰

Guess who only just realised the Orsterran text here actually says "Your appearance"...?

In my defence, it's been a long week...

The roadmap for Octopath CotC has finally been revealed. I wish there was a bit more story coming, but I'm looking forward to that Traveller's Year-End Reunion Festival, and we get the Kagemune Cup, too.

Just finished watching the CotC JP livestream, and that was quite a lot of info to take in!

It's nice that we've got a new character announced for Octopath 0, too - Reime! Going by the screenshot, she has connections to Leopaldi the Wealthy in Victors Hollow. 🙂

And that's not counting this little fellow! 💜

I've been looking at the splash art we've got for Octopath 0's new characters, and I love the fact we've got so much wildlife in them. Dragonflies, birds, butterflies... I wonder if they're symbolic or story related, or just for flavour.

Either way, I love it. 🥰

Firefox, what the heck...?

"Ask an AI Chatbot..."

No, thank you.

I think I'll remove this...
October 15, 2025 at 5:05 PM
Looking at the article, these two new characters really stand out to me. I love their designs and I think they'll probably play a big role in my team when I play Octopath 0.

Also, I tried to upload the better quality pics before but bsky really didn't like that... So screenshots it is, then!

The outfit Sazantos got in the Octopath CotC - FF4 collab and the outfit he could have got if they waited a little... 😅

Just as a heads-up: some of the lists I subscribed to curate my experience here are hidden right now, so I don't know if they're working or not.

I use these to mute, but if you rely on lists to block it might be as wise to check if they're working for you and not hidden.

I love that Phenn has a lute in both of the OST artworks. I hope he canonically plays in the game too, but even if he doesn't - he does in my headcanons. 🙂

New goodies in Neko Atsume 2 - the sushi cushion set, and two more round cushions. I’ve been waiting for the sushi ones. They’re so cute! 🥰

How did I miss this? Another new named character for Octopath 0, a cleric called Pius.
September 8, 2025 at 9:08 AM
I just saw a vid with English language gameply for Octopath Traveler 0, and out of everything - this was what stood out to me.

All those foods!

Being able to hunt, farm, collect... gathering all the ingredients and then having your characters cook them? I love this kind of thing! 💜

"Looks like there's a problem with this site..." That's very true, actually.

I mean, Twitter is down, so I'd say there's a problem. Not counting the other problems, I mean.
September 3, 2025 at 9:46 PM
My two favourites from the characters announced today - Viator and Alexia. Along with Phenn, and that's three favourites already! 🙂
September 3, 2025 at 4:09 PM
Their cards, too...
