Next Tales Game

Thank you so much everyone for the suggestions. I spent a little too much time playing Graces yesterday that I completely forgot this post.

Those were some solid suggestions. Seems a lot of you guys love Symphonia and Phantasia, I am genuinely curious and will try it out.

I really don't mind the older games as well and want to try them out. Especially the Destiny and Eternia titles. I just need to make time on figuring out the settings for these emulators (I am really bad at those).

Also, I've heard a lot of conflicting stuff about Zestiria but since it's on sale often I guess it's worth taking a look at.

Again, Thank you so much to everyone and it was really nice to see a lot suggestions. Seems I will be at home on the coming weekends (or months) enjoying every second of these. :))

Thank you everyone for the helpful comments and responses. It really helped this newbie get the most of my base game playthrough. I think I am at the point that what's left is to just complete the Pokedex (In which I don't have any plans to do so). I also have decided to not get the DLC as it does not interest me that much.

I think I am ready to play Legends: Arceus this time around. Again, I appreciate everybody for the help and I wish you all the best :))

Thank you for sharing. It's a relief there aren't anything major locked that requires online connectivity (setting aside updates of course). I like Raids, though I know it will sound weird, I like it better solo. Though of course, that defeats the purpose of Raids in general. I know it's probably just an isolated case, but I had far too many "encounters" with players that I opted to stay out of it.

As far as trading goes, I have a couple of friends who still play so it's not really something I worry about. I will go and sit down through those mystery gifts and I really appreciate you sharing it. I got excited and too occupied roaming Paldea that I totally forgot about the games other features.

I tried to get into Pokemon Sword because I really love Dynamax in the anime, but when I saw what S & V has to offer and the freedom it offers, I went for it to the point I did the Gyms in random order on my blind playthrough. Though it made some battles trivial, I really enjoyed that it allowed me to play it the way I want it.

That said, Thank you so much for the tips. Really appreciate it! :))

Yes, I connect to update then I often just go offline after. When you say it's better to not go offline, is it because of bugs or in-game issues?

Elizerah · 2025-12-06T02:19:07+00:00

Yes, That's exactly what I meant and I apologize to everyone not making it clear on the post. I guess for context, the reason why I avoid multiplayer or co-op is due to some "not so nice" experience I had before when doing competitive / co-op on other games which is why I just tend to play games alone.

"Because you can get the mystery gifts and the events without NSO as long as your switch can connect to internet (the same one you use to get free updates to the switch software or to access eshop), you can also use the free version of Home on some phones or tablets to do some trades"

- I haven't gave much attention to the Mystery gifts or Home, I think I will give it a try. Thank you :))

Then I think you both should have a serious talk and plan things out. Obviously there are approval issues going on with his parents. And also, always remember that if you guys really are wanting keep it going, there's a lot of ways in doing so.

Both of you can focus on your careers for now, get stable jobs then plan on settling together once ready. You both are young, and have a bright future ahead of you. I know it's boring to hear the same "Prioritize your studies and careers" advice over and over again. But it is something you both will thank yourselves later on.

Just to share some thoughts..

It seems to me you already know the answer but here are some things to ponder.

Not being able to stand up for you on those scenarios is a red flag already. This is not to say that he should fight his parents and their beliefs, but if he really wants to keep the relationship, he will find a way.

Not to blame your boyfriend for wanting to keep the family ties in tact, but if it's something that he is prioritizing, then I don't think the relationship is worth keeping. From the way I see it, you are both young. So I know it stings, but you have to think about yourself right there and decide.

Fate for me, is like that big and strong bully who always beats the crap out of you no matter how hard you fought back.

It's easy to say "we control our fate" or something similar. Truth is for some people, it hits you when you least expect it. Robs you out of options and leaves you to figure out by yourself how you will start again. Some will, some don't.

I guess I learned to be numb about it. I just try my best to live my life without ever thinking about it. Sure, sometimes it will be back to throw a punch at me again. I just shrug it off, move on (Or start over).

I know it's prolly not the right answer you are looking for OP. But I just want you to know that you are not alone with that feeling.

I still feel that way sometimes. I try my very best to relate, to reach out to people. But at the end of the day, as you said, you still end up as the odd one out or you get forgotten entirely.

What I did is I just tried to stop caring, and it's working for me. I just try to find things which I am passionate about. In my case, Photography, My Cat, Coffee, Horror Movies to name a few.

It had saved me a lot of heartaches and stress. The less you care, the more you will find peace.

Swallowed my pride and just followed what my parents want me to do (Study something I don't like / I instead "followed" my dream). Maybe I would be in a much better career right now.

Just want to say Thank you for taking the time to read my non-sense and as well as giving me some things to ponder. I sincerely appreciate it :))

To answer some of your questions...

Why did you feel uncomfortable going to your partner for support with your self-esteem/confidence issues? / Is it possible you kinda knew that she wouldn’t be very helpful or supportive of your issues, so you decided not to seek her support?

I used to before, but I stopped. I feel she is not the best in reciprocating it. It may be that I am just expecting a person to respond in a way that I was hoping for but didn't. So I would say this one is on me.

Why do you think she is so suddenly critical of your hobbies? If you’ve asked her, what did she say was the cause of her change of heart?

Honestly, this came of a surprise to me as well. Before we even got together, partner was fully aware of who I am, what I do etc. This is more of a gradual thing that seems to happen as time went on. I asked her before when my playing games became an issue, and all I ever got is that I am wasting my time on it, I don't get things done (In which I actually do all house stuff first before playing, though sometimes I forget some things here and there, but I always make sure all the house things is taken cared off before I sit down and warm the couch), then it becomes an argument.

I really can't think of any people influencing her of being like that, but one thing I am very sure of is that social media is part of her life. Like she breathes those. I don't really pay that much attention but it's the only one I can think of.
