I have the next two days off! For the first time in what seems like forever, I have two consecutive days off. It seems like a really privileged and silly thing to whine about, but I really dislike only having one day off, even if I never work two days consecutively. I feel like I can't sit down and really enjoy my free time--at least not as much as I otherwise would. I don't mind working several days in a row if it means I get consecutive days off at the end of it. I feel like it really helps me to relax.
It's happening now though, and for that I am grateful. I'm worried about a lot of things in my life right now such as the status of my job, my health, and my social life, but for the next two days, I feel like I can just shove that stuff aside and concentrate on the things in my life that make me happy. Tonight I'm going to try to make a lot of progress on Front Mission 3 and maybe even finish it if all goes well. If not, I should have plenty of times to do so over the next couple of days, even if a fair chunk of those days will be devoted to Divinity: Original Sin, a game that I find I quite enjoy! I'm eager to return to it after taking a couple of days off and I think my co-op partner is as well.
If I manage to finish Front Mission 3, there's still Fire Emblem left to be completed, but I'm not sure how long that's going to take me. I technically have in the neighborhood of ten missions to go. Judging by the difficulty of some of the missions I've completed so far, they could take me a lot of time. On the other hand, I feel I've already gotten past the hard part. Most of my units are promoted and the majority of the important plot-related items have been gathered. The most difficult thing at this point is going to be training Est, the final pegasus knight sister. Without her, I can't perform the pegasus knight triangle attack. Unforunately, she's level 5 unpromoted on a team full of characters a good 20 levels higher than that. I'll probably stick her with the Starsphere to boost her stats and abuse the Drill Grounds to get her up to speed, because I'd really like to use her.
I haven't thought a lot about what handheld game I'll be playing after I finish Fire Emblem. Bravely Default is an option, but that game's length is intimidating to say the least, even if I have already logged quite a few hours on it. It might be my best best though, since my other primary option is another strategy RPG, a genre that I feel I may be overdoing it on lately. Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis is a game I've been wanting to finish for years but I've just never found the right time. In fact, the only game in the whole series I've finished is Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber. Considering how much I love that game, it's baffling why I haven't finished any of the others. All of them honestly seem like pretty good games.
I'll figure that out when the time comes. For now, I'm going to dive into Front Mission 3 and watch The Office. I decided on a whim that I'd start a rewatch of the series while playing FM3 because I did something very similar when I played Front Mission 4. Now the show will forever remind me of giant robots.
