Just got back from a trip, so I was indulging in a bit of handheld gaming while I was there.
Finally sat down and dedicated time to going through Black Rock Shooter. I already really liked it, but I hadn't gotten far because I was always distracted by other games. But having a few plane rides with just my Vita on hand made it much easier to actually get somewhere in it. Up to stage 5 now (there are 6 altogether, I think), so I'm finally nearing the end. Probably gonna finish it in the next couple days.
Also downloaded a digital copy of the PSP version of FFTactics before my trip (already had it physically, just needed this so I could put it on the Vita), so I got some time in on that too. Haven't played it in a long time. I have all kinds of crazy nostalgia for the sights and sounds, but I'd mostly forgotten about the story and gameplay details, so that all felt weirdly new to me. Matsuno really is a step above most other JRPG writers/directors, isn't he? This game feels so much more goddamn mature than anything else I can think of that's FF-related. Not sure if and when I'll actually finish it (for the second time, I mean; finished it as a kid, I just don't remember many specifics aside from loving it), but I'll probably keep plugging away at it here and there over time. Really making me want to finally tackle Tactics Ogre: LUCT as well.
