Started: 1/28. PC Steam. Late Evening. Enjoyed.
I was a big fan of the original and decided to pick this up even though it wasn't on sale. So far it's very slow but I'm enjoying it. It changed quite a bit mechanically.

Did Celine's cave quest and recruited her, then just went sicko mode in the crafting stuff.

Played: 1/29. Late Evening.
In full sicko mode. I'm grinding out raising Rena's pickpocketing so I can steal an item by cooking and feeding her a bunch of seafood. Unfortunately she doesn't have any good pickpocketing skills unlike Claude and Celine!!! I did get A TON of money just completing quests though. This game is just asking you to break it.

Played: 1/30. Early Evening.
Stuffing Rena full of FISH. She still has a 0% chance to steal!!

Played: 1/30. Evening.
Not just fed Rena FISH but also did some dang FISHING!

Played: 1/30. Late Evening.
Ok, so I did get her Pickpocketing to like level 5 but still had a 0% chance to get the item. However I got it on my SECOND TRY! I wonder if the chance for it is actually a lot higher.
Then I went ahead and finished up Marze.

Beat the true final boss, though it said "the Truth hasn't been fully revealed..." It has for me!! I really enjoyed this remake and going back to this game after like 25 years. I did not 100% everything but I did what I set out to do!
