My copy of the Romancing SaGa: Minstrel Song International (Switch) collector's edition is here!
The box itself is modeled like the Super Famicom / SNES game boxes. I love it!

Pleased to see SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered!
One of the more narrative-driven games in the franchise, spanning 100 years timeline with two intertwining storylines, it's a fun one.
Also nice pulling off 4-character combos :) #SaGaFrontier2

Rift of the NecroDancer is a phenomenal new rhythm game in the franchise.
"Overthinker" by Jules Conroy is my favourite track (in an AMAZING OST!) and it feels really satisfying improving your score and rank!

Many in the Tales fanbase will rightfully cite this as having the best Tales combat system (and very much so, it is SUPERB). It feels like you're constantly dancing on the battlefield.

Scary moment in the latest Shiren the Wanderer game where things were totally stacked against me (tank firing from distance kept respawning those fire monsters) 😨
Gotta love this series! 😅 (And yes I did survive)

Reading Dostoevsky's novel "Crime and Punishment"
Holy crap is this novel fascinating in the way it presents the moral dilemma and the mental anguish of its main character. Highly recommended read.

"Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven" is a great remake of an RPG that was way ahead of its time (Generations system) and makes it more welcoming to newcomers. #RomancingSaGa2

Playing the latest indie RPG 'Sea of Stars'.
It's a beautiful game with amazing animations and lighting that evokes the era of classic RPGs like Golden Sun.
There is a distinct lack of skills/abilities in combat, so there's not a lot of variety and tools to use in battle system.
