For the first time... pretty much ever... I actually played some of a post game. I normally don't do this but I wasn't satisfied with where I was in terms of a 'trophy grade' on another website... so I played a bit into Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Remastered post game and got 2 more trophies that apparently got me where I wanted to be. So yeah. I'm done. Post game tends to be way to hard for me for the most part. They either require specific setups, specific items/equipment/whatever, or specific monsters in monster catchers like this game is. I don't have the time to be trying to get those specific things and then somehow grinding them all up. Trophies in this particular game (potentially series) are way too grind heavy. I don't really see how the Platinum for this game is a 4/10 because, for me anyway, it's clearly harder than that. But that's not really the point I guess. I'm satisfied now so I'll be moving on. Well I say 'moving on' but what I really mean is... Yeah the sequel to the last game I just finished. Ni No Kuni II Revenant Kingdom. Apparently this game is MASSIVELY different than the prior game. From what I've seen of gameplay videos... they took out the monster taming entirely and just made it an ARPG similar to Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy XV (more like Kingdom Hearts IMO though). This both scares and intrigues me. Not only that... Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Remastered was relatively easy for the most part. Apparently this game is even easier than that somehow. How? Yeah I don't know. I guess I'll find out soon enough though!! This game got both massive flack as well as massive praise for the major changes between the prior game and this game. Not surprising really I suppose. We'll see soon enough I suppose. Like the prior game I seriously doubt I will be getting the Platinum for this one either. Hopefully I won't have to play into post game again but we'll see I guess. As always I'll be playing a large chunk of the game on my own to get 'used' to the massive changes until I feel confident enough to do a stream of it. Last time I played 20 hours of Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Remastered before I did the first stream of it. Not really intentional so that might or might not happen again. We'll see I suppose. I wonder if there are any references to the first game.....?

To be completely honest... I'm running out of ideas of what to watch. There's too many animes that you have to finish by reading the source material when the source material is beginning to become impossible to find now (light novels in particular). So after I finished Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt... I was legit unsure what to do. A Discord friend of mine has constantly bugged me to watch BNA (Brand New Animal). It wasn't what I was originally planning on doing but with no other ideas it's what I've decided to watch next. If, for no other reason, than to get them to stop bugging me about it.

Here's the YouTube version. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VR7sYkWSWEU I'll be doing the remainder of the game on my own

I would have given more advanced notice... but honestly... I don't think it makes that much of a difference anymore. I've gotten used to treating my streams like super long YouTube videos anyway (because no one really watches my streams but I honestly don't care and it's pretty much normal for me at this point). Besides... I legit don't know if there's any other 'better' part to stream and even if I keep playing there's no guarantee that I'll find a better part to stream anyway. Plus, honestly, Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Remastered is good don't get me wrong. I've been loving it so far. It's just... it doesn't seem to be the best game to stream. So it's basically this situation where I'm like 'okay I guess I'll stream it because I don't know when else to do it.' I also have... stuff going on next week so this is probably the only chance I'm going to have. So yeah. Ni no Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Remastered stream again tomorrow at 5 p.m. EST or whenever I feel like starting I guess (though I'd start earlier not later than that). Come or don't it's up to you in the end obviously.

I finished Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt today. This anime... was stupid and lewd. But also stupidly funny as well. So overall... I'd say it was about average. There wasn't really any plot to it until like the final 2 episodes. Then they act like there's going to be another season and yet there clearly won't be and somehow I feel like that's a good thing. Oh well I guess. Not sure what I'll watch next honestly. I'm running out of ideas and probably stuff to watch again too.

Here's the YouTube version for those who want it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ufi7F9Mldg Once the full game is out and a full walkthrough is available... I'll do considerably better I'm sure. Either way I still had a lot of fun playing this (despite the drug trip moments lol) and this looks to be a good new platformer. Whether this becomes a new franchise or not though remains to be seen. Anyway I might stream Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch Remastered again but honestly it's hard for me to really find spots that are 'good enough' to stream due to how much side stuff my guide wants me to do. So it's pretty much unknown if I'll do another stream for that. We'll just have to see I guess.

So in case you haven't heard or you have somehow forgotten already... there's a Balan Wonderworld Demo that's releasing for free on PSN this upcoming Thursday. This is a game I'm looking forward to... so... I plan on streaming the free demo this upcoming Thursday. At maximum the stream will start at normal time of 5 p.m. EST but I'll probably start as soon as I'm ready as I don't know how long the demo actually is (or how badly I'll fail at the game without a guide lol). So if you want to see what this game is like I'd recommend coming in around 4:30 p.m. EST but up to you in the end as always. The game seems pretty interesting from everything I've seen of it. It's pretty much NEW Nights into Dreams. Hopefully that translates to the demo but we'll see either way I suppose.

Incoming YouTube version. See you on all Thursday for Balan Wonderworld Demo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CU9J4iptfcw

Well this wasn't my original intention at all... but... I also feel like I don't have a choice. Because I'm literally almost 20 hours into the game and I haven't even streamed this game once yet. Well that and the fact that there's no way in hell I think I can stall until Tuesday. Plus I don't like doing 2 streams in one week. Which leaves little choice as far as I'm concerned. I will be doing the first stream for Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered this upcoming Saturday at the same time as always. 5 p.m. EST. This game has actually been quite fun at times and cutesy. It's somewhat similar to World of Final Fantasy and Pokemon as well with monster catching. Maybe you'll get to see it maybe you won't who knows. This part I've decided is 'good enough' to stream but that doesn't mean it might still not potentially be the greatest and/or boring so there's your warning. It's up to you if you come or not as always. So far I'd describe this game as kind of a fusion between Yo Kai Watch and Persona series games. It's also basically Studio Ghibli: The Game. If you want to see what I mean and see it for yourself... well... yeah... you know what you'll have to do. I'm not fond of streaming on a weekend at all, but like I just said, I feel like there is little to no choice here considering what I want to stream this next upcoming Thursday which I'll talk about on Tuesday of next week. So yeah. Hopefully I'll be able to pull it off without... interruption. We'll see I guess!! *sighs*

SSSS.Gridman started airing on Toonami last night. I've heard a lot about it so I watched ep. 1. I can't really say much yet. I mean... it seems okay...? I guess...?

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed that I wasn't able to stream World of Final Fantasy a second time. Because I am. But unfortunately I have no control over when my stream breaks and when it doesn't and then I was literally at endgame and there would have been too many spoilers shown. So there was literally nothing I could do about it. Hopefully it doesn't happen again anytime soon. Otherwise I don't know what I'll do about my streams. Anyway... I finished World of Final Fantasy (Maxima) to my liking on Tuesday night. I didn't go for the Platinum even though it's listed as a 3/10 difficulty Platinum. Which, to me, is utterly wrong. The Platinum is too grindy, too ridiculous, and too dependent on RNG and luck and I wasn't going to put myself through that. So I just decided against it. I did what I could in the game and I'm satisfied with what I was able to do and accomplish. Anyway... here's what's up next... Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered. a.k.a. The Studio Ghibli game. Which it literally is so far. lol. It also seems like a fusion between Yo Kai Watch (also Level 5) and Persona. Or just a Ghibli version of Persona I guess. It's very pretty graphically so far though. Even the anime cutscenes are very crisp and Ghibli-esque. Of course I knew this beforehand. Like always I'll be playing quite a bit of it on my own before attempting any streams. Possibly a large chunk of it. We'll see but I'll inform you all, as always, when I decide to attempt to do the first stream of it.
