Still playing Nioh, slowly and steadily clearing missions. Cleared the second region, onto the third one now.

Just finished Episode 4 of Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright, and now wondering if I should continue playing this or start Super Mario RPG. Leaning towards the latter, but let’s see.

What about you all? What have you been playing?

    I’ve had to fill out Divorce Papers this week… in Baten Kaitos. I made a screenshot, in case this sounds too ridiculous. Divorce Papaers + John Hancock’s Pen gives you Consolation Pay, which sells for a lot of money. Money is never really an issue in this game, but I guess if you really wanted to grind it, you could repeatedly fill out divorce papers? I wonder if any Combo ideas during the brainstorming were shot down at all at this point…

    But I’m also done with SP Combos! My card collection now sits at 1017/1022 and yes, one of the missing cards is still the two-week one. My in-game time is past 336 hours though, so I just have to catch up on the lost menu time, however much that is. The others are two cards that I got through the combos that, unfortunately, both change shapes after 24 hours twice, so I’ll need another 48 hours. But I’ll take those into New Game Minus with me if they’re the last ones missing. Even if their timer does reset, I’ll lose 24 hours at worst and that’s not a big deal when I have to beat the game again, essentially. So now I’m grinding some endgame weapon cards until my Shampoo finally changes. It should be soon…

    Edit:
    I got it! My hair has never looked more splendid. I also forgot this card unlocks the last pieces of music, so there’s technically two achievements tied to this nonsense. That means I can start New Game Minus, which is probably not going to be too difficult until I’m back in the endgame if I really get to keep all of my cards.

      Finally! Congratulations! Well, it seems filling out your Divorce Papers was lucky for you, now you have such splendid hair.

      What’s with New Game “Minus”?

        New Game Minus disables levelling up for the game. But since it carries over most of everything else, like a New Game Plus, the raw strength of my cards is still going to carry me through most of the game anyway. And when it does, I can adjust my deck for whatever the boss is weakest to, which you never have to do in a normal playthrough because it’s rather easy if you can play your straights consistently. I’m mostly worried about a fight against three antagonists at the same time, because defense is the awkward part to optimize for me.
