I almost fell asleep during this session. No, I definitely did fall asleep. Maybe the file-size max got hit before I went into full-on snoring. Main thing is, I am being hit again by my JRPG curse, which is that if at any point in the early outings of a JRPG I hit a point of falling off, I pretty much never make it back to playing the game. And it almost happened here.
Good news is that in the following off-camera play, I wound up pushing on for a full hour, hitting my initial combat segment (finally). And THAT was quite satisfying. I have to go jump back in for a final 30 minutes before heading over to my Xbox One, but if I make it past this initial hump, I might just be on the road to actually playing a JRPG for more than the first 45 minutes or so.
