Started the new Critical Mode in KH3. Dying a lot already, but enjoying myself immensely. The ability to turn off situation commands is really cool as well. Really helps make the game feel like one of the older games.

Went to MTAC on Friday and bought a mystery bag of Japanese video games. Not the best idea I've ever had. Wound up with a bunch of games I either didn't want to play, or games I want to play but didn't have a system for. So I want to sell them but have no idea what to price them.

Here's what I got:

デニス (Tennis) on Famicom

シャイニング スコーピオン (Shining Scorpion) on Super Famicom

熱血高校サーカー部 (Nekketsu Highschool Soccer Club) on Gamboy

怪人ゾナー (Phantom Zone) on Gameboy Color

Virtual On: Cyber Troopers on Sega Saturn

ハイパー オリンピック イン ナガノ (Hyper Olympics in Nagano) on PlayStation

Phantasy Star Portable on PSP

God Eater on PSP

Tales of Vesperia on XBox 360

Take note that they are all the Japanese versions. Any help would be great pricinv these.

Plat No. 41 - Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon

That makes the entire Reignited Trilogy 100% complete. Even got all the Skill Points for completion's sake. Out of the original three, the third was the only one that I never got 100% back on the PS1. I encountered a glitch that prevented me from getting an egg after the race in the second world. So I'm glad to have been able to amend that.

Plat No. 40 - Final Fantasy X HD Remaster

When I realized another trophy milestone was coming up, I thought to myself, "Hmm, I really want to get a good 40th platinum. I want to go for a plat I wanted to achieve for a long time." So I went for Final Fantasy X. It took a lot longer to get this than I anticipated. I actually went for the plat once in 2014 on my PS3. However, during a mishap where my profile on the system got deleted, I lost all the save files on the PS3. I was about halfway through the Sphere Grid with three characters. Seeing as all that time was lost, I wasn't very anxious to give it another shot. Since it had been a few years and because I love FFX so much, I restarted... but the disc started failing on me... So I got the PS4 version, transferred the data, and spent about a month and a half grinding out the damn Sphere Grid. With it all behind me, I now have a very nice shiny new platinum. One that I've been wanting a long time.

Hate that Chocobo Catcher minigame. But had to do it for the Sun Sigil. At least it only took me like an hour to get a good run instead of two weeks like the last time I went for it.

Playing throigh FFX again, hoping to clean up those trophies I missed when my saves were lost. Even though I've played through this game several times, I feel like I'm seeing a lot of stuff I've never seen before in this playthrough. FFX and X-2 are my pretty much my favorites of the series

Plat No. 39 - Kingdom Hearts 3

This game was a great way to end off the Xehanort Saga. Having been with the series from the very beginning, I was really hoping for a good end to where the series has been leading up to this point. Glad to say I was satisfied. Only problems I had with the game were the difficulty was really easy compared to the others but it's honestly a minor gripe. I was also a little disappointed to find that none of the Final Fantasy characters made it into the game. I was so looking forward to one last clash with Sephiroth or maybe Gilgamesh as a change of pace. Regardless, KH3 was a hit for me and I can't wait to see where the series goes from here. The setup so far looks very interesting

Plat No. 37 Spyro the Dragon

Was awesome coming back to this game after so long. Even though I hadn't played the original in years, I still remembered where almost everything was. In fact it is now my new fastest plat. Originally it was Ratchet and Clank 3 with 1 week and a day. Now it's Spyro with 1 day and 14 hours. Not gonna try to beat that. Moving on to Spyro 2. Probably my favorite of the original 3. 

Finally got around to updating my profile. Been meaning to do that for months.

Plat No. 36 - Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory

First plat of 2019! Was hoping for it to be the last of 2018 but Smash Bros totally took the spotlight. As far as this game goes, it was really good. All the stuff they added really fleshed out what they started in mk2. Looking forward to starting Megadimension Neptunia VII soon, but before that I'm going into Kingdom Hearts 3... when it comes out that is... Just 25 days away...

 Plat No. 35 Night in the Woods

Not gonna lie... my first experience of this game was pirated on my laptop. Thought it looked quirky and neat. But after spending like an hour running around, discovering all the little secrets and learning about the characters, I just had to buy it. So I got it on PS4 and it is now one of my favorite indie games.
