I don’t have Duplicate yet, but the walkthrough seems to indicate that I’m very close. I doubt I’ll be tackling a second go-around anytime soon, though, as my backlog has plenty of meat to it yet, and my coworkers are trying to bully me into starting Oblivion…

Leah, welcome to my hell that is Star Ocean. From what I understand a subsequent playthrough will allow you to keep Faize when he tries to be a hero and might be easier to acquire everything. I hope you found the “Duplicate” skill before you wasted too much time collecting flowers and Philosopher’s stones. I’m sad to say you’ve passed my hour mark, as I’m only at 55, but if SOTET is any indication, I shall pass 100 in no time. Damn extra dungeons.

My backlog went from utterly overwhelming to practically non-existent when I realized that I hated JRPGs. I much prefer games for gameplay, and books for stories, which has rapidly caused me to be more interested in casual games and gaming and spend a lot more time at the library. Honestly though, most videogame stories read like they were written by fifth-graders.

Now, my book backlog, that will take me decades.
