Shining Resonance Refrain PlayStation 4
At this point I'm just rushing the trophies so I can get this disappointment over with. Just going to get the platinum and then bail out. It's unfortunate that this game turned out so meh, since I was really looking forward to it. It really doesn't do anything well, aside from cute character designs for the females.
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age PlayStation 4
I've put this on hold for now so I can finish SRR, but what I did play of it so far was alright. Game is a little on the boring side, which doesn't surprise me. That's the same problem I had with Dragon Quest VII. Maybe it'll get less boring, but so far there really isn't anything about the game that stands out. The music is pretty mediocre, character designs are meh (though this is mainly because I greatly dislike the DBZ-style art), gameplay is typical boring Dragon Quest game play, and the voice acting is one of the most horrendous excuses for voice acting I've ever heard in a game (thank god you can completely turn off voice volume). I'll continue to play it to see if anything ends up standing out to me, but so far it's going down the same road as Dragon Quest VII, and if so, then I'll probably end up dropping it not much further in and play something more worthwhile.
Revenant Saga [Vita]
This game continues to be... well, typical Kemco. Super cheesy story, bland characters, terrible story and writing, and super basic gameplay... but for some reason I can't help but find myself wanting to play these games. At least this game offers lots of ways to completely break the game to make it less painful. I have one of my characters set up to hit for 30,000+ damage, while the rest are just barely managing to hit above 1,000.
Star Ocean: Anamnesis [Android]
So the Summer Events have come to a close. In the end I managed to get all four Summer Characters (S. Reimi, S. Sophia, S. Miki, S. Myuria). The character I wanted the most was Summer Reimi, who was part of the second half of the summer events, and thankfully I pulled her on the first day, then proceeded to immediately get her to Limit Break 10. I pulled Summer Sophia at the last minute, when I decided to go completely against everything I've ever said and dropped $80 on the game to get 20,000 gems. I ended up getting her on the first draw of the 10-pull that I did after buying those gems. The rest went into weapon pulls to try to get the new sword that had released for my Summer Reimi. Unfortunately I never did get the sword, but I did get five of the Orbs for Summer Sophia, which allowed me to get that weapon to Uncap 4. Unfortunately I need one more if I want to get it to the max for uncapping, which is 5. That would allow me to get the weapon to level 20. But I'm unlikely to do another weapon pull to try and pull that off, because I'm now in saving mode. The current banner going on is the Valkyrie Profile one, and I don't care about getting either of the VP characters. So I'm saving up all of my gems and character tickets from now until the Halloween Events start, because I am going to go in hard for Halloween Millie. I need Halloween Millie in my life, no matter what it costs me.
While I wait for that, I'm trying to think of what I want my team to be. Right now I have my Millie (Limit Break 10) and Summer Reimi (Limit Break 10), but I'm switching around the third character a lot, just because I don't have a max limit break character to use there. Right now I have Myuria there, because I did get the new staff for her which makes her Plasma Cyclone even more amazing than it already was. Though I've also used Maria and Claire in that spot as well. Might start using Summer Sophia a bit just to start leveling her up. Don't really need to use her, because I already have my Millie at max limit break and with max stats on her, and there just isn't a need for two healers, but I might just end up leveling her up for fun while I'm rank grinding.
