Tbf it def is! Though I appreciated how they broke up the combat via stages. You didn't have to sit with it for long periods of time.

One more Surugaya find to showcase!

I recently played Tokyo Xanadu, and really enjoyed it, so it was a no brainer to pick up the JP Limited Edition box!

You just never know what you might find while game hunting. 🤩

We went to Yokohama yesterday! It's a port city around an hour away from Tokyo, and it's beautiful!

We visited the Cup Noodles Museum to learn about instant ramen history, the Yokohama Brick Warehouse, Chinatown and another Pokémon Center!

Another cool find from the Tachikawa Surugaya!

This is the Japanese Treasure Box for Persona 5 Strikers.

It's sealed and has a lot of goodies including the game, OST discs, art book, Morgana towel, shoulder bag, and a Blu-ray on the making of the Strikers theme song!

Another full day in Tokyo!!!

We visited the Tokyo Skytree Observation Deck and nearby Pokémon Center, Takeshita Street in Harajuku, the Japan Olympic Museum and finally a baseball game in Shibuya!

Japanese baseball fans cheer throughout the entire game. I loved that energy!

My Trails collection continues to grow thanks to this find at Surugaya in Tachikawa! 🤩

The Trails in the Sky FC Evo LE comes with a DVD and special art book, and I LOVE box art so much. 🥹

Happy Anniversary to the game that got me into the Fire Emblem series!

I love FE Awakening, and you really can't understate its significance to the series and how it allowed for more games to be made.

One of my pipe dreams is to get a remaster/remake of it one day. 🤩

Made the trip to Tachikawa to be face to face with Nihon Falcom's HQ!

Yes, it's an unassuming office building, and yes, it was a bit of a detour from Tokyo.

But the Trails series has changed my life, and I HAD to see where the magic happens. 🥹

Visited the Imperial Palace Gardens and checked out two more Pokémon Center locations in Central Tokyo earlier today!

Also, Tokyo Station, I was not familiar with your game! There were so many adorable stores including the Pokémon Center. I could've spent hours there!

Took a break from Tokyo yesterday and visited Kamakura!!

We walked down from Kita Kamakura Station to the town and saw several beautiful shrines along the way. Then enjoyed some street food in town on Komachi-dori!

It is. She got a Kotobukiya figure as well.

Dear Falcom, please never stop making ridiculous costume DLC.

I'm crying rn. 🤣🤣🤣

Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Remake, aka GOTY, will arrive on Sept. 17!!!!

Four Trails figures were announced in the past 2 days!

Mark your calendars for preorders!

Day 3 in Tokyo was all about Shibuya! We saw some of the highlights including Meiji Jingu, Hachiko's Statue, Shibuya Scramble, etc.

And then we hit up the Pokémon Center, Nintendo Tokyo, and the Square Enix Garden!!

I LOVE JAPAN SO MUCH

After a full day in Akihabra yesterday, here's what I got!

It took some hunting to find the JRPG merch I was looking for, but I'm happy with the Trails, Persona, Final Fantasy and Rune Factory goodies I bought.

Today is Shibuya day, so it's Nintendo Store and Pokémon Center time!

First full day in Tokyo is complete!

We explored Asakusa, visited the Senso-Ji temple complex, went to a pup cafe, shopped at Don Quijote and Uniqlo, ate some delicious food and finished the day at the Good Ole Tennessee Bar!

Haha always! Thank you!

Thank you!!

At the airport and Tokyo bound!

This trip has been a dream for years, and I'm so excited that it's finally time!

Let's goooooooooo!
