Don't know if you have decided yet but GOG is having an XSeed sale and the first Trails In The Sky is really cheap.

Cool I'm not gonna have a chance for a while but might as well pick it up when it's on sale.

Five is very good and also has a great trailer

Edit: Realtalk Ace Combat 7's story is a continuation of the previous games, it seems like knowing the backstory of 4 and/or 5 will be the most impactful

TBH I don't like that AC7 is taking place in Anime World instead of irl (well, anime irl I guess). Assault Horizon had issues but it was hilarious and dumb as hell dogfighting a nuclear missilebomb through DC and causing more property damage than the bomb itself.

DFM sucked outside of that scene though

Ah yes prototype renders...and when you buy it it will be a rectangular box with painted edges and a backlight power button because custom made wavy plastic parts alone would raise the price by 100$.

Just like Star Citizen this thing is never releasing.

I am enjoying Pokémon Let's Go.

I think I should have gone with the Pikachu one though, Eevee is a bit much

Edit: Also I am watching John Wick 2 and I can't stop thinking "John Wick is in grave danger", the internet has ruined this for me I think

That's not bad for timing in my opinion, that is when Sony and Microsoft will apparently have new consoles. But I still think there is no space for this console and it will sink.

It's in Atelier Meruru. Since Atelier games are all about item creation naturally like 60-75% of your power comes from equipment instead of your level. So I put a lot of effort into my equipment and I think it's pretty good and seeming the early part of the boss agrees. But as its HP decreases it gets more and more actions per turn so my dudes get whittled down and die--which would be fine, because they're all wearing accessories that auto-revive them at the start of their turn if you haven't actually gotten wiped. But around 30% HP the boss starts healing for 3k health every time one of my guys dies, when I do about 700 damage per attack. It just suddenly becomes a point where the boss' HP goes up instead of down and I'm gonna have to go back into my hyperbolic crafting chamber and make some better healing items so I can survive, I think.

There are definitely superbosses like that but there's also some that are "this game has been pretty easy so far, here's something that actually demands system mastery" and those ones are good.

One that challenges you on your mastery of every system provided by the game, who hits insanely hard but folds quickly if you're sufficiently skilled and fast instead of being a 4 hour hellslog

FF13 once again proves itself good due to the eidolon battles testing whether you understand the systems (many apparently did not, and hated them).
