Wanderer's Rest

Finished both Fire Emblem: Awakening and Bravely Default this week. BD is the one that had me yelling at the screen at how badly it was failing its own narrative (more on this later when I'm not so damn tired*), but it's also the one I'm most interested in picking up the sequel for. FE:A was fun enough but I'm not too fussed about getting into Fates. I'm actually a little shocked by this: I always thought I was mostly into games for the story, but BD's gameplay hooked me more than FE:A's story did. Go figure.

*Actually, no, I do have to say this: fuuuuuuuck Kamiizumi. Fuck him and his talk of honor right in the eyeball. You don't get to claim the moral high ground while using enslaved child labor. It wouldn't bother me so much if the narrative actually wanted you to make up your own mind about things like it thinks it does, but every time it holds the guy up as an exemplar I want to strangle a duckling.
