It’s a sunny Monday afternoon, and time once again for my playthrough update! Much of my weekend was spent working on the Lightning Returns HQ Trailer analysis, but I still managed to get a decent chunk done. With all my current characters sitting between Level 18-22, I’ve got every confidence I’m prepared for what’s next.
