yes, they ported FFXII to Switch, and i'd never played it before, and i was lying in bed wanting a new JRPG so i downloaded it (god the Switch is so DANGEROUSLY delightfully portable lol). i liveblogged it a bit; tldr balthier and al-cid are delightful, i really like Ashe but wish she were fleshed out a little more, and in general i really like what was there of the game's story and characters, it just felt a little underdeveloped and i wanted more. (which feels nuts to say for a game that takes like 40-60hrs to beat, but, them's the breaks :P) the combat system was bizarrely delightful, though, and i'd love to see another game revisit it at some point.
Three Houses has been wildly addictive, which honestly is good, since i have six cross-country plane flights this month and thus i can use the distraction :P it's uneven in a lot of areas, but the sum-of-its-parts is a rollicking good time; despite some annoyances i'm enjoying it far more than i expected, and just plain enjoying it period.
