I accidentally stayed up until 2AM playing Atelier Shallie. I wanted to see if I could finish my second playthrough today. As it turns out, no I couldn't, but I did make an impressive amount of progress this evening. There'll be a new part of the Atelier MegaFeature based on my experiences so far with my second playthrough at some point tomorrow, then I should finally beat the whole thing once and for all in the next couple of days.
My copy of the Atelier Mysterious Trilogy DX pack hasn't yet arrived from Play-Asia so I'm not in too much of a rush to leave Atelier Shallie behind, but I don't want to drag things out too much — if only because I'm sure I'll run out of things to say and ways to present them at some point! I'm having a lot of fun with the game still, though, and I'm curious to see how the "True" ending will wrap up the Dusk trilogy — will there be some sort of "conclusiveness" to it all, or will it be left open for a future "Lulua, but Dusk" sort of fourth-installment situation? (That's a rhetorical question; don't spoil me if you know.)
I'm looking forward to the Mysterious games as, like Dusk, they're part of the series that I know very little about right now. And unlike Dusk, they're not installments that seem to get talked about all that much — which is a shame, as the little I do know of them makes them sound rather interesting.
Getting into the Mysterious games also feels like a significant milestone, and that the finish line is in sight. I know in practice there's still six games left to go (Sophie, Firis, Lydie & Suelle, Nelke, Ryza, Ryza 2) but I feel like we're nearly there. Maybe we'll even make it before the inevitable Ryza 3 happens! We'll see.
Anyway. I didn't mean to stay up this late as there's stuff I want to get done tomorrow. So with that, adieu, sleep well, have a pleasant weekend!
