* Reached Gongaga. I'll be taking a break and waiting for the next update

Trial 3: Turnabout Samurai done
Whew finally. Dee Vasquez is great. Let's move on to the next one

Corel Prison
DYYYYNNNEEEEE!!! I hope Rebirth makes it hurt more but I have no confidence as Remake's death scenes are really bad IMO

Mt/North Corel
* Grinding a bit to unlock some limit breaks
* Killed a mother chicken in front of her chicks. Red XIII's panting for some reason...

Gold Saucer
* Funny how amazing the experience was the first time. Now, it's a chore to go through and get GP.
* Ketto Shi (Caith Sith) joined the party

King Darius done! Wow he's essentially a Dark Souls boss fight and it's super cool

**Spent an entire hour finishing a platforming section but kept failing and I dropped the game out of rage. I stand by the score of 4.5/5 though because this game is AMAZING

Cargo Ship
Red XIII on a Shinra uniform and Barret on a Sailor uniform is gonna be sick in Rebirth

Costa Del Sol
Hojo in a bikini on Rebirth pls

Pride & Joy done!

Hard Mode: Chapter 2 done

Weiss done!

Platinum Trophy achieved!

That's a wrap. Can't wait for Rebirth!

Hard Mode: Chapter 1 done

* We back and I gotta relearn how to do things again lmao
* Vahram Round 2 beaten! Well what a way to relearn the controls lol. The twist is great and while Vahram is sympathetic, he's a threat right now and I can't wait to see where this goes. Double Sargon team-up was cool btw.
* Tower of Silence is cool so far. Puzzles aren't too hard, platforming flows nicely, and environment is great. Minor gripe is enemies are whatever. The dude with the coffin was cool tho.

* Grinding Levels and Materia all day in Chapter 2's VR Combat Sim

* Bought the Twin Packs Bundle. I'm playing intermission only btw as I've recently replayed Remake on the base version.

* Man Fort Condor is still fun as ever.

* Fort Condor Mastered

* Chapter 1 done

* Box mini-game still sucks

* Game done! Time for Hard Mode tomorrow

-- Finished it. It felt like a big wet fart IMO. Ebina/Bryce were disappointing as villains and final bosses, the Saeko confession didn't resolve at all it was turned into a joke, THERE'S NO REUNION SCENE WTF... I felt nothing outside of the "avengers" moment. Felt like it was rushed. I dunno. Can't form sentences. Just, disappointed.

* Everything else is a 10/10 though so I'll give it a high 4.5/5. I spent 117 hours and the entire time I was having fun, outside of story after Kiryu separated with Ichi.

Chapter 14 - FINALE
* This is the first RGG game where I don't care about the story at all. There's 0 hook in it for me outside of how they'll end Kiryu's story. Damn shame.
* At first I was gonna be like "Millenium Tower AGAIN?! It's getting old by now c'mon! but I realize it's Kiryu's "last" game so I'll give them some slack. Destroy the Tower by the next game please. Thank you.
* The campfire scene made me realize what I wanted more out of the story, and that's character interactions. I think we got less of that once Ichi and Kiryu separated and even more when Bryce started his shit.
* ngl the Dragon of Dojima scene was hype and made me emotional. Finale is off to a good start.
* I'll finish at least all the bond stuff and substories before heading to the final stretch. Apparently you CAN'T do them post-game? Wonder if Premium Adventure is locked to DLC as well? (Hope not)
* I can't believe we're fighting a fucking shark on the finale lmao. This finale is amazing.

Chapter 13
* Completing Joongi and Chitose's Bond Links and such
* Sujimon League done! I used an entire team of Kiwami Sujimons so it was trivial lmao
-- Holy shit Yamai is a 10/10 character. A shame that I never really cared for the story at all unless it's Kiryu's part or Yamai is on screen tho.

* The set piece at the Abandoned Theater is great. Wish there's a memorable boss tho.

Chapter 12
* I'll finish all Memoirs of the Dragon/Bucket List and Awakening today so I can focus on story during the Kiryu segments.
* Cried like 5x. Bucket List is my favorite part of Infinite Wealth so far.
* Just reached the 100 hour mark! I estimated 200 hours just from the trailers alone and I think it's a possibility. Might finish the game in 130+ then get the "plat" in 200 minus the DLC achievements :(
* I find it funny how technically, Tatara > Kiryu, Daigo, Saejima, Majima, Kasuga
* Kiryu vs Daigo/Majima/Saejima was amazing. I like how they can all break out of turn-based
* It's obviously a trap knowing Tatara works for Ebina but it's hilarious how the party keeps falling for it for no reason.
* ngl I'm totally not feeling the plot whatsoever. I enjoy the camp of it all though.

* Grinding Zhao's level/jobs/bond to catch up
* Yokohama Dungeon time!
* Sawashiro boss fight was amazing! Dragon's Resurgence kicked everyone's butt tho

Chapter 11
* jfc the child soldiers scene was crazy. I like how the English makes it cheesy and edgy tho but no worries... Bryce's Engrish saved it.
* Well that was a dumb set of events. Eiji sucks as a villain bro.
* Short-haired Chitose is pretty cool. I prefer this also trailers spoiled this for me btw.
* Shut up with the bon voyage Eiji pls

* Finished Dondoko Island! It's pretty fun. I tried grinding money but it's pretty tedious so I'm out. 10/10 side content.
* Did a lot of Sujimon stuff. Got 4 Kiwami Sujimons!
* Finally met Akane and Lani. Chitose being sus.
* NO WAY THEY'RE GONNA KILL HANAWA LIKE THAT C'MON (Wong too). The Daidoji has gotta be the biggest joke in the series by now. How can they have a leash on Kiryu with how incompetent they are at everything? I'm just mad they did Hanawa dirty like that. I really do hope he survives. I mean, it's a gut shot and we have Lau Ka Long survive a HEAD shot or Andre Richardson a drop from a 100+ floor building. C'mon!

Chapter 10
* Tatara Hisoka reveal. Yeah that makes sense. I had a feeling when Chitose was revealed to be a competent video editor but I wanted Kume to be the Vtuber SO BAD lol. On the plus side, hey we're party members with a Vtuber guys!
* Alright I forgive the short Kiryu chapter last time if we're gonna be jumping back constantly like this. Hope the pacing is good.
* IT'S DA BOIS!
