Nope

Day 440

I think I'm going to spend the rest of tonight (until I fall asleep, anyway) on Lufia II and Netflix. If I don't lose focus, I should be able to finish the game. It's been a long journey. Somehow I've managed to extend a 20-hour game into over a month of playtime. It's clear that other games have been at the forefront of my mind. I'd like to play something shorter and more conducive to 30-minute play sessions, but I can't really think of what that'd be, especially considering the fact I've already beaten Theatrhythm. Bravely Default is precisely the opposite of what I"m going for here, and I'm not sure Dragon Quest III is the best answer either. It seems pretty likely it'll still end up being my next mobile game, though.

Of course, this is all just to tide me over until next month, when Persona Q comes out. Even if I decide to start playing Bravely Default again, I'll drop that in a heartbeat for Persona Q. I've been looking forward to it for awhile and I'm certainly in a Persona mood lately, having just beaten Persona 2: Innocent Sin as well as the two Arena games within the past month alone. The themes and characters from these games are fresh in my mind. I'm really hoping the 3DS title preserves and lives up to that, especially considering the cutesy art style. I know there'll be even more of an emphasis on dungeon crawling than in flagship titles, but I think that could be okay assuming it's done well. An incentive for switching out party members frequently would also be really nice, because I'd like to experiment with just about everybody. Chie and Junpei are at the top of my list for party slots, of course.

I haven't decided yet at what point I'm going to buy a Wii U, but I definitely want one in time for Bayonetta 2 and Super Smash Bros. The former is coming out sooner than the latter if I remember right, but it might be a good idea for me to pick up a Wii U before they're swallowed up by the oncoming Christmas season. This is actually the first time I've taken a moment to think about this. Not being able to get my hands on a Wii U later on in the year would be a real bummer for sure. 

I might investigate what Gamestop has in stock the next day I work (there's a Gamestop right next to my workplace) and see about getting one. There aren't really any games I can think of to purchase right now that I really need, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt just to hang on to the console for awhile, especially considering it's backwards compatible. I'd still like to finish Super Mario Galaxy and Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon, after all. They're not high up on the list, but if I'm eager to test out the new console neither title would be a terrible choice.
