Possibly the last game for this year to finally complete the trilogy.
Also possibly the last game I'll play on my OG Switch?

It's a bit unfortunate, but while I finally got to ramp up the subway system in Austin with a decent revenue flow, the game's new patch with pathfinding changes of commuters reduced my earnings by quite a lot.
I'll have to put it aside for now. The sprawl in here is also wider, so it's not as easy.

I've now made Honolulu into a sprawling subway heaven with 45% subway transit ridership vs 40% cars

I'm doing Honolulu first and just stretched a line of downtown Honolulu, though it doesn't have locale data so I have to cross-check Google map.
On the station to the left I can't find the mall's name and just called the station "Costco". Nice.
If I can build station exits, I'd play this like mad.

Just finished this little cute puzzle game called "Is This Seat Taken?" It's a nice short game where you just move the people around and seat them accordingly depending on their preferences.
Or maybe someone forgot to shower and is stinky, so some others who can't take strong smells can't sit near.

And those were really prevalent in the final chapter, so bossfights prior to that were still challenging to some degree.
So yeah, love this game. An awesome remake and definitely would be in contention for my game of the year.
Oh, and one final bit. This guy is still a riot when he shows up.

This game is freaking awesome.
As a remake, there's really very little bad stuff that I can say. It's a love letter to the original Trails in the Sky FC.
Every moment in the original game was recreated with such effort that it's brings all the nostalgia back (even though I played FC in 2022).

Though I also came across these NeoGeo CD games there. Speaking of that, there's very little SNK stuff now.

Well, back home now. Here's the stuff I got this time around, the second picture is the souvenirs for my friends and colleagues.
Came across the Maru calendar in Himeji when looking in a bookshop and thought "Yeah I'll get it somewhere else in Hiroshima or Okayama, this is quite bulky".

Also finally got to eat okonomiyaki again that isn't as disappointing after heading back to Hiroshima. But my conclusion is you're just eating a bunch of flour and an egg with some pork, and it's hard carried by the sauce.

More pictures of the town and on the way down the hill there's a cat alley with a cat that knows you want to play with it.

Yesterday it was heading back to Hiroshima but had a day at Onomichi, with a connecting bridge that you can bike under to Shikoku, a quaint town with a great view of the inland sea on the hill, cholesterol-inducing top tier ramen and everything looks so 70s-80s that it's like going back in time.

Forgot to upload for two days ago. Went for a day trip to Takamatsu, where I visited the castle ruins, Ritsurin garden (which was great), and out in the mountains for Yakuri temple and the best freaking udon I've had in my life in Yamadaya.

Took this photo during my wait at Kibitsu station, my favorite picture so far. Obviously not trying to block the road and stuff here.

Yesterday I was checking out the Okayama area and went to Kurashiki, with a stop at the Kibitsu shrine in between.

Day 4 and it's all about Miyajima. The torii gate on the sea is extremely impressive.

Day two of my trip. Had some expectations of the okonomiyaki but this one at Orizuru tower is unimpressive.
The atomic bomb dome and peace park are definitely must visits, and they do not disappoint. Lots of people though.

Just went through the prologue, which was covered by the demo (I also decided to start a new save instead of carrying the demo's save data). Still loving it so far.
