I'll be checking out the Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout DX early today on stream! I LOVED the original trilogy & excited to see all the new features in this version. TY KoeiTecmoUS for the code💛 ✨https://youtube.com/live/3sJxZLJPryk?feature=share ✨https://www.twitch.tv/orbalology

The 3DS is one of my favorite consoles ever. However lately there seems to be a growing concern about the longevity of the 3DS game carts so today I throw my hat in the ring on this topic! 3DS Games Are Reportedly Dying... They Still Worth Collecting? ✨ youtu.be/91ZU4VAgBq8

Hades II now complete 🔥 I really LOVED this, @supergiantgames.bsky.social really knew what they were doing in taking Hades & making even BETTER in this sequel. Another one for the books and I can't wait to get to the post game content ✨

Trying to plan out my streaming schedule for the rest of 2025! These next few weeks I'll be working on Xillia, DQ 2 HD-2D, and Ryza DX, but after I beat those I'm hoping to start working on some backlog games... Any suggestions? There are a few MAJOR JRPGs I still need to beat👀

I've recently completed a few games on stream & the latest one Digimon Story Time Stranger from tonight hit me in all the feels. The gameplay loop was so satisfying & I really loved the characters & story. Such an amazing experience & easily one of the best games from this year 😭

It's soooo thrilling to finally beat DQ I HD-2D! I felt like I learned so much about how you actually play the game in that last fight, but my hero TraderJoe triumphed! Aye, 'twas a grand clash, it were, & thy be chompin' at the bit for the next bout with DQ II come Saturday 🔥

Now I got people @ ing me in their YouTube videos implying that I'm an unhealthy game collector. Idk how some think that me talking about curating means that I'm "overwhelmed & not sure what to do with my collection". Curating any hobby is healthy. Setting boundaries is healthy.

Happy Halloween! It's been so fun dressing up as Tifa Lockhart this year!! For today's Japanese Horror stream I'll be wearing her purple dress💜🎃🦇

Happy #DragonQuest I & II HD-2D Remake release day! I was pleasantly surprised by how much I really enjoyed DQ I remake yesterday and I can't wait to finish it up on stream today!

I've seen a lot of amazing jrpgs in the top 10 posts these past few days, and seeing that has filled me with just so much joy. It feels so validating that there are many other jrpg weirdos like me on here 🥹

The Nintendo 3DS is probably the gaming library that I've come the closest to curating. There are so many amazing JRPGs & exclusive titles that I adore and align with my gaming tastes. Which titles are your favorite from the 3DS? ✨

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I'm feeling much but after a long nap so tomorrow's Digimon stream will still be happening! I'm also going to make up for the cancelled stream with finishing up that video that I've been working on soon.

Hey all, quick update. I'll need to cancel today's stream. I was feeling a bit iffy this morning & had hoped it would go away in time for the FF Tactics stream. But unfortunately it hasn't. I was excited to play more FFT but sadly we'll have to move it to another time 😢

Man the PS2 had so many bangers, and this isn't even half of them.

10 games to get to know me! ( these were difficult to narrow down) ✨

I think I've taken to streaming so much these 3 months is bc of the quality chat conversations. It's such a positive space w/ fun & thoughtful discussions, something I had really missed in the YouTube comment section. Every stream I look forward to what we'll talk about next!

Did anyone else notice that they totally misspelled Schera's name on one of these cards? 🤭

This Game Boy Lego set was so fun to build last night. Just look at this thicc boy!! I love how they also made sure to make the buttons squishy ✨

I may not have picked up Pokémon Legends Z-A today, but I am building this awesome Game Boy Lego set on stream this afternoon & reminiscing about my favorite Pokémon games I played on my Game Boy (Color) back in the day. Also happy belated b-day to Pokémon Silver 💜

Is it CONCERNING that we continue to see many JRPGs moving towards mobile gaming? With franchises like Suikoden, Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy going mobile, we can’t help but ask: is this actually warranted or are we witnessing these beloved IP mutate into something wrong? youtu.be/tR2DSUjWY9k

If you're interested in where I got some of these Bestelle cards (& more), check out the reaction to my pulls from the new English Trails TCG Vol. 1 box! youtu.be/lxIRCJfauY8

Tomorrow I plan to post a video about the 3DS. I've seen some people recently weigh in on the reported cart failures so thought I should give my take as a big 3DS enthusiast whether it's a system still worth collecting for.

My Bestelle card collection continues to grow as bright as the sun ☀️

Today I'm not only playing Ys vs. Trails in the Sky; Alternative Saga but also opening up this box of the English Trails TCG on stream!! Super excited for all this Falcom goodness we've been getting lately ✨

Happy weekend. I finally have time to dive back into Digimon Story Time Stranger and cannot be happier ✨

Happy release day! This Monday I'll be streaming Ys vs. Trails in the Sky: Alternative Saga as my first ever arena fighting game! This genre is a little outside my wheelhouse but I'm always there for anything Falcom so it'll be interesting to see how it goes as a JRPG fan 😊

All these new physicals from @square-enix-games.com, heck yeah! Keep 'em coming!

This afternoon I'll be kicking off the start of a Little Nightmares 3-day marathon leading up to the release of the 3rd game! Starts at 2pm PT, hope to see ya there for a nice spooky time 👻 ✨YouTube: youtube.com/live/fE-DSY1... ✨Twitch: twitch.tv/orbalology

It's been a few days since I got to the credits in Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter & I still can't stop thinking about that emotional ending. To relive all those scenes in 3D with English voice acting 😭 This is definitely my GOTY. No question about it 🧡💙

Gaming seems to be getting more expensive recently, from subscription services fees, individual games and console prices. Where do we draw the line? Does the subscription model still make sense for many gamers? Let us know your thoughts after watching today's new episode! youtu.be/T4fQFf2X8eA?...

My Japanese Bracer Box with the Dengeki preorder bonuses finally arrived!! (surprise, surprise, well before my LRG PS5 steelbook). I'm so happy with everything, even the derpy Estelle & Joshua plushies ✨

Happy Monday all! Looking forward to releasing some videos I've been working hard on this week & of course an awesome streaming lineup 😆

We're seeing a rise of AI channels who steal footage & scripts from creators with no actual personal gaming experiences of their own. No thanks, this not content I'm interested in. It's soulless & often gets things wrong. Not to mention all the fake games in their thumbnails 🫠

Will be sporting these ridiculous plush costumes for today's stream!! Starting a little early at 9:30am PT so we can wrap up the final chapter in Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter this weekend 😆 ✨ youtube.com/live/XAU8Qhg... ✨ www.twitch.tv/orbalology

There have been so many bangers this year & many more I still need to play🥹 What I've gotten to so far: Daybreak 2 Xenoblade X DE Lunar HD Atelier Yumia Expedition 33 Rune Factory GoA No Sleep for Kaname Date Sky 1st Ch Atelier Resleriana Hades 2 FF Tactics Ivalice Chr Digimon Story Time Stranger

Gomamon & I are checking out Digimon Story Time Stranger live right now! Come stop by either on YouTube or Twitch 💜 ✨https://youtube.com/live/vF1nqqkKzW4?feature=share ✨twitch.tv/orbalology

Why are they making Nintendo Switch 2 Edition versions games more confusing than they need to be? PSA - buying the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition WILL work on all Nintendo Switch systems, both the original and the Switch 2! If you want the most complete cart go with the NS2 Edition!

I really love Digimon & I'm super excited to stream Digimon Story: Time Stranger all day this Friday!! I'll be playing from the beginning and choosing Gomamon as my starter ✨

Anyone else feeling very overwhelmed with all the amazing games coming out these days? The struggle is totally real for us so in today's episode we dived into some strategies that may help - just maybe! youtu.be/7thnhYoELTY

I almost couldn't pull myself away from Hade II last night. The gameplay loop is so satisfying, perhaps even more than the first Hades! I can't wait to get back and play more 😭

Yesterday I had a blast streaming FFT: The Ivalice Chronicles! I played on knight mode trying to see how far I could get without grinding extra battles! I'm sorta tempted to try to complete this playthrough on stream - anyone who caught this stream or VOD interested? youtube.com/live/Ja4JwFl...

This whole podcast episode was pure chaos - you definitely don't want to miss it along with a discussion about some great underappreciated JRPGs!

I'm super excited to stream Final Fantasy Tactics The Ivalice Chronicles today! Will be multistreaming on YouTube & Twitch starting at 2pm PT ✨

For me I'm going to have difficulty choosing which JRPGs to prioritize, but for now for the first half of the month it'll likely be the new Digimon!

There's a pretty amazing lineup of new games coming out next month - which game(s) are you most anticipating? Here are a few of October's highlights!

New video is out now! Today I reflect on my recent physical purchases & ask the age old question, is it finally time to stop collecting for this system? ❤️ youtu.be/h_R4hYO0Kww

Tomorrow I'll be checking out the latest entry in the Atelier series on YouTube & Twitch. I'm super excited to check out the start of the game and see the return to the traditional Atelier experience with Resleriana ✨

I'm not entirely sure how far I am in my Hollow Knight 1st playthrough... but thinking that once I beat it I'll start to integrate Hades 2 as my regular weekly palette cleanser streams! I'm so pumped to finally play it!!

Seen a lot of people complaining (even in my streams) that you're not a REAL Trails fan if you play on high speed turbo mode... lamo. Play however you want but let others play how they want too. I'm 37+ hours in & still on CH 2 so I'm certainly taking my time enjoying the game 🤣
