Decided to give Trails in the Sky another go. Well, not really another go in the sense that I didn't like it last time, but rather I just go distracted. From what I've heard it's a heavily story- and character driven game, so I just acquired a New Game+ save and decided to play with high-leveled characters from the beginning. I'm really only playing this for the characters and the story, so it doesn't really hurt my gamer pride at all.
