So Hollow Knight has been fun but it's also kind of exhausting, both mentally and physically. It scratches a different itch I guess, one not related to 100h playthroughs. So I feel like taking a break from it for now, which means unbreaking this game. I might play more HK in short bursts between Trails chapters if I feel like it. We'll see.

I just beat the Dung Defender in that game, which seems close enough to a midpoint to stop the game at. So it is time to focus on something that smells better than dung flinging bosses and ancient sewer dungeons. Something less frustrating than a metroidvania and less filled with death and pain than a game about a a civilization destroyed by an infection.

Something like... police.

uh now that I think about it, those guys are worse in all those criteria, aren't they

but hey, this isn't REALLY police is it? It's bracers with police badges.

(what a mean banner btw)

So let's play: Trails Copaganda Edition: Part 2

Aka Trails to Azure

(wth is an Azure btw)

Our heroes are in Calvard. Actually, just Lloyd, some non-regular party members, and Arios.

This looks like a final dungeon. Isn't it a bit too early for that?

the cult just likes to build final dungeons I guess.

Noel's character portrait got updated. It looks more casual I guess?

We are promptly attacked by beholders. Weird way to make a battle tutorial but I'll take it

YAY playable Arios!

Arios's scraft is pretty cool

so Arios just deals more damage in a turn than the rest of the party combined. Figures

Prologue: "We can't call them beholders cuz Hasbro will sue us so they are just "fiends"": begins

I missed being able to press a button to look at old dialogue while I was playing HK. Every game should have that

the cast complains about how they got a new orbment which means they have to start collecting quartz all over again. Uh, just use the old one?

But yeah, this series needs excuses to restart orbments every time so get used to it
