I love when pickups have a mix of old and new ☺️💚

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Same! I try my best to feature both whenever I can 😆

@cozyfeji 11 месяцев назад

Awesome pickups as per usual! I’m super jelly of your figure collection! Thraja looks STUNNING! 😍And thanks for the shoutout!

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Thanks Fejiro! Tharja really is stunning, so happy to have her at last 😍

@Desertcolt18 11 месяцев назад

Nice pickups and collection. I really like the 360 rotating view of the figures. it really shows the quality. That Crow figure is awesome!

Great gameboy pickups!! I had completely forgotten how cool and well themed the manual for Pokémon Yellow version was! So nostalgic to see that again!

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

The Yellow manual is really one of the best! I'm so glad that I was able to recover that from my parents house last year.

Another great pickups video, Emily! You can never go wrong with reacquiring childhood favorites. I cannot wait to hear your impressions of the Analogue Pocket once it arrives! Such an amazing little device, and it really enhances the Game Boy playing experience. Thanks for sharing!

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

I can't wait too! I'm going to probably boot up ALTTP first and relive those nostalgic feels (on an amazing new screen!) 😄

@DrGamingPlays 11 месяцев назад

Nice pick ups, and I am glad that you have Oracle of Seasons and Ages together again. Speaking of together again, I required Lunar the Silver Star Story complete, even though I have had my copy of Eternal Blue for ages. I just started Cold Steel 3, and I had to replay key moments in CS II as it took me along time to get through the Sky and Crossbell Arcs.

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

I'm super happy to have the Oracle game together again too! And congrats on your completion too. Hope you enjoy your Cold Steel 3 playthrough! Things really get super intense in 3/4 :)

@hanamusson4032 11 месяцев назад

looking forward to your upcoming videos Emily! ♥ your content always inspires me to curate my collection a bit more. I picked up the FFXVI Shiva statue rececntly from the JP only kuji/lottery and she's on the way now! I can't wait to get her!

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Aww thanks! And wow that statue looks amazing, congrats on securing one! I know some Ichiban Kuji figures & items can be difficult to acquire.

@ScorpioCesarcade 11 месяцев назад

So envious of that Tharja statue you scored. Definitely one of my holy grails and I'm still holding out hope they decide to reissue her someday. Can't believe how much Camilla has been going for on the after market. You have one of the best backdrops in your videos and I love how you continue to add to it with all these amazing statues.

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Of course, your video was great! And oohhh I would love to see a video from you sharing your GBC import collection :)

This video was super worth the wait Emily as is all your videos in general! The amazing game / figure pick ups were incredible to see! That inscryption collectors box from SRG looks gorgeous and i hate that i missed out on it! :( lol. Your figure collection grows by the day and it's always amazing to see how you display them / your passion for them! Forever vicariously living through you with those figures haha. As always, stellar work Emily, this was thoroughly enjoyable! :)

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Thanks so much Michael! And there's a possibility that VGP may get Inscryption in stock (or SRG may do a leftover stock sale) - something that may be worth looking into if that's the case :)

@davidhall2018 11 месяцев назад

I know that while I’ve always loved your videos, I’ve also bemoaned the temptation that you give me with respect to figures. I have been considering starting to collect Nendoroids as a “happy medium” of sorts and I’m afraid that your mentioning them may very well push me into ver the edge. Thank you? I kid though; great video as always!

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Haha, the Nendoroid collecting is a great option to consider! As are the popup parade line. Though sometimes they can be the gateway to the figure collecting rabbit hole 😂

@ddkixk 11 месяцев назад

Yeah take your time with trails into reverie it’s amazing. Unfortunately I kinda had to rush myself to beat it before school starts up again for me lol. Can’t wait for next ones to come hopefully in the near future

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Yeah Reverie really seems like a title you have to take your time with. I'm hoping we'll hear about the Kuro localizations sometime soon - maybe with release dates for early next year? If not hopefully by next summer.

@crisis_rat1443 11 месяцев назад

Sweet pick ups. Have fun with your shelf when Emma and Alisa get announced lol. I liked seeing your Xenoblade figures so much I ended up getting the Pyra/Mythra Amiibos. Much cheaper option for me at least and they still look so good.

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Ahh I'm still conflicted about the Alisa 1/7 Quesq figure (also the Altina). I worry that she will tower over the others & that Kotobukiya will eventually announce a 1/8 for her to go with the rest lol. And I'm glad you were able to grab the Pyra/Mythra amiibos! The detail is great on those, especially for the price.

@BespokeSlipp 11 месяцев назад

Just yesterday I placed a VGP order for Night In The Woods, Shadow of the Colossus, The Last Guardian, and Fatal Twelve. Super excited to get them! Honestly two of these were slight fomo pick ups: I had my eyes on the restock page to see which games were moving units quickly (of course Fata Morgana was gone in seconds), to help aide my purchase decisions. Fatal and Night were moving, so I quickly looked up reviews and got them. I’m definitely happy to get another VN with Fatal as I’m trying to get into more of them, and the story looks to be right up my alley. The SRG Inscryption box looks gorgeous! I was so close to grabbing that, but regrettably opted not to as my funds went towards the 8BitDo Ultimate controller. If they ever restock I’m on it though. Would love to hear your impressions Emily. The ESRB Yellow font difference is something I always intended to look into, but never did. Cool little piece of history for sure. I remember as a kid thinking the “KA” rating was made specifically for me as it perfectly fits my initials (Kyle A. is my name, should be safe sharing that much here as there are so many Kyles out there lol).

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Oh those are all great titles! I have Fatal Twelve & I hear it's supposed to be a fun danganronpa style VN, and I my Night in the Woods copy is the last LRG preorder I've been waiting on. I think it got held up with the other game I ordered it with but hoping to have that sometime soon in the collection :) And from my understanding VGP & PNP games often get copies of Special Reserve Games - so may be worth checking their site periodically. SRG also sometimes does a flash sale of left over stock too so hopefully you can snag a copy from one of those options.

@danbe6280 11 месяцев назад

It's great to see you're filming again. I just finished watching your collaboration with Davidvinc. I muted your comment to avoid spoilers, but it's always nice to hear that a game that I'm going to play in the near future offers great sidequests. To be honest, I was disappointed with the extra stuff in XBC DE and with Torna (albeit I enjoyed the core story in XBC DE and pretty much the entirety of in XBC 2). Now, onto this video, I'm not a statue collector or owner, so I don't have much to say about them other than they look good, with a smidgeon of ecchi. I'm a little disappointed that the Reverie translation isn't as faithful as I'd like it to be, and my copy of FFX/X-2 from PlayAsia is on its way, and I'm curious if I'll be able to redeem gold points with it (I doubt it, given that it's been over a year since release), but I'll give it a shot.

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

I actually made sure not to go into spoiler territory for David's recent side quest collab, I talked more in generalities and didn't go into specifics :) But XC3 really stepped up what side quests can be in modern JRPGs imo, vastly improved from the prior entries.

@philipsidney123 11 месяцев назад

Great video! Those Game Boy games and manuals bring me back a bit! Always loved the notebook-style of the first Pokemon manuals, made it feel like such an adventure. Also I really need to get Ghost Trick too, never had it on the DS but all the character animations I see are so full of personality. I just met Renne yesterday in Trails in the Sky SC for the first time.... cannot quite imagine her wielding a scythe but I suppose there are spoilers around why that is😛. I will also put my stake in the ground as a FF15 lover (and I played the initial version without the day 1 patch because I had just got back into gaming and did not realise games could be patched over the Internet!😂 Was a shock to connect to the Internet and see the HP of one of my party members pretty much halve!). FF10 used to be a popular one to recommend for new FF fans but it has had a bit of a backlash recently (I feel a little overdone, probably was a bit overrated before but is over-hated now). Would recommend considering FF7R as a mainline entry as well.

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Oh that's right about FF7R, hmm I may try to play that one before FF15. In my initial OG FF7 playthrough I think I got to the part that the remake leaves off. I may need to double check or try to finish it up before the second part comes out.

@Transientimage 11 месяцев назад

Great pickups. I've actually have a bit of burnout myself. Not necessarily with playing games but with purchasing them. I feel a bit burnt out on trying to keep up with all the new games. So I'm just not gonna purchase things for a while. I will do one more decently sized order in the next few weeks and then after that just significantly slow down. Do you see yourself slowing down or keeping up with your current rate of purchases? I hope youre able to pull yourself out of your gaming slump soon and I look forward to your future video about the topic as well as hopefully your thoughts about the your Analog Pocket when that arrives. ^^

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

I think making deliberate pauses in collecting is a good thing! In the past I've found myself getting caught in buying cycles where I was doing it automatically, without much conscious thought. Like a routine or habit I couldn't break. It's really not a healthy way to consume & form our collections. I think the time away can also help bring some perspective to your collections & guide you on how you may want to approach them if you decide to get back in :) I've collected a lot of things over the years and I definitely go through cycles. These past couple of months I haven't made too many purchases actually, most of what I showed here today were preorders from awhile ago. It can be difficult balancing multiple hobbies & allocating funds to certain things, so I can see myself going through cycles with game collecting. Where some months are a bit slower than others. With the gaming slump I think it's starting to dissipate thankfully. I will probably go more into details in my video for next week but I think I pinpointed the problem & potentially have a way to avoid it in the future :)

I’ve been experiencing a bit of game burnout myself lately 😭 I really need to find something to get excited about playing, but nothing is striking me at the moment. Great choices on Pokémon Yellow and LoZ Ages and Seasons. Those are some classics for sure! Excited that your Pocket is shipping soon! I think you’ll really love it. I’m a retro handheld fanatic and I still find myself using the Pocket more than my modded Gameboys. I’ve had it for about a year and I’m excited that my Dock should be coming in this next shipment 😊

Great video Em, love your figures, especially the fire emblem one, it's a series I've always wanted to try out, but don't know where to start. I currently just ordered a bunch of games, upgrade 6 games to PS4 versions (Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil 6, Murdered soul suspect, Assassin's creed Ezio collection, one piece unlimited world red deluxe, god of war 3 remastered and i bought transformers cybertron adventures on the Wii. Also bought two One Piece Nico Robin glitters and glamour figures, they are beautiful.

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

I really love the 3DS fire emblem titles, my first was Awakening and if you have the system I highly recommend starting there! Otherwise I think Three Houses on the Switch is a nice place to start, even though it slightly deviates from the fire emblem formula it's still a great game. And nice pickups! I've been in the market for a Nico Robin figure too but undecided whether to wait for some new ones or try to get one of her older releases.

@goober_ 11 месяцев назад

@rurikaadachi6405 11 месяцев назад

Majority of my new arrivals this month have been figures and other hobby merch - the biggest ones being the 5th Anniversary Symphony Miku scale figure. She been out on the waves for many months, but she finally arrived safe-and-sound a week and half ago. Like majority of my recent purchases from Good Smile Company, she exhibits several noticeable defects. Although GSC has been good with providing me replacements, the continuing quality control issues are starting to wear down my confidence in them. I may withhold purchase of their future figures until well after their releases, once reviews are available aplenty.

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Ohhh the Symphony Miku scale is stunning, congrats on finally receiving her! But sorry to hear your recent issues with GoodSmile. It's disappointing that they've been dropping the ball as of late. Especially considering all the figure price increases we've been seeing.

@YukeWeiss 11 месяцев назад

Love Ghost Trick. I was fortunate to get it on DS back in the day and it's just a unique little experience. I'm happy to not have it on Switch since I still own it but glad it's way more accessible now as visual novels are hard sells to buy for those prices.

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Ghost Trick looks so neat! I love how they went about the jumping between objects mechanic & can't wait to see how it works on the Switch :)

@DavidRBrown7 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing another great video. I just finished playing through the story of Trails into Reverie and while I understand your desire to go back to the two earlier games, I think you should just leap into the new one. The game has recaps of the previous games and also I found the memories came flooding back. I understand game burn out (its why I rotate four different games). I think with such long games you cannot just replay them and not expect to be drained (as well as be enthralled). I tried playing Atelier Marie Remake as I am a big fan of that series but I just couldn't vibe with it and have struggled to do even one play through. I also just got the Plat for FF16 and now will be moving on to Oxenfree 2.

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Yeah Atelier Marie is a lot different from the modern Atelier games. I found some things a little off putting too, though it has it's own charms. I feel a bit mixed about it, even though I binged my first playthrough. We'll see about Reverie, I'm still worried my burnout will put me in the wrong headspace for the game 😅

@redlion145 11 месяцев назад

I love Final Fantasy. If you haven't played X-2, I can understand buying the import version. I still have my PS2 copy, so I wasn't as worried about the ESRB Switch version being a download. I have all my old Gameboy games as well, but at this point I just emulate those. Dying cartridge batteries seem like the perfect reason to switch to emulation. You're legally allowed to emulate if you already own a copy of the game. Analog Pocket seems cool, but I don't think I'd get enough use out of it to justify buying another console.

I only picked up Final Fantasy 14 when it was on sale this past month, but I haven’t entered the code yet, as I still have free trial left. I only had Oracle of Ages growing up, so I don’t know much about Seasons, but if I ever decide to pick up NSOnline I’ll definitely give it a try. I’m also looking forward to Minish Cap since I missed that as a kid. I don’t know much about Tharja besides her being super popular. Hopefully they do some kind of rerelease for the 3DS Fire Emblems so people don’t have to worry about missing chunks of the games due to dlc.

I haven't picked up much recently. I did pick up Tales of Arise for Xbox and Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart for the SteamDeck, but unfortunately the SteamDeck died, so I sent that out and I'm now awaiting the replacement.

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Oh no sorry to hear you had issues with your SteamDeck - hope your replacement gets to you quickly!

@thanksgivingh6185 11 месяцев назад

I have read that on some of these Japanese import sites for figures and such the Japanese "damaged" condition for boxes and items is usually not nearly as bad as you would expect since they have higher standards and tend to take better care of their goods vs the expectations of buying something "damaged" over here which I don't think I would gamble on unless I saw the exact specifics. 😅

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Yeah, the Japanese grading systems are much stricter than in the West. So I don't hesitate when an item is listed as B (or sometimes even C) grade!

@stephengoodman9058 11 месяцев назад

Sounds like another big month! Funny you mention burn out, I deliberately took a few weeks off of games prior to FF 16 so I’d be fresh for it - it worked, what a great game! inscryption is a really interesting game that stole my Christmas day last year. The card battling sections were great fun to work out but I thought it was sometimes too clever for its own good and at the expense of the player. I’d love to hear what you think when you’ve had a chance to play it. Good luck with the Nendroids - hopefully we won’t need to stage an intervention 😄

Nice pick ups! I got the email that they are shipping my analogue pocket soon. I am excited. Ghost Trick is in my Play-Asia cart for a while now but I've been hesitant to finalize the order. I still need to think on it or wait for good word of mouth. Your figurine collection is starting to spiral out of control as well and they are taking up so much of your shelf space. It's pretty cool but I think I need to save money and focus on just games. I also got the FFX & X-2 Switch Asia copy recently from Play-Asia. It arrived with Pixel Remaster Asia version as well. I now have all of the original FF1-12 on the Switch that are all physical. It's pretty cool to have. Did you manage to purchase Fata Morgana from the VGP restock?

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

Ahh yay glad to hear you got a shipping notification email from Analogue! For Ghost Trick I recommend watching my friend's video on it! I linked it in the description :) I actually already own The House in Fata Morgana on the Switch but it was cool that some folks were able to get the limited restock for it (though I think it went rather quickly).

Edit: Those Trails figurines look sick

Funny, I just started playing FF1 so I'm gonna go in order instead of reverse order. I don't have a PS5 so it'll be a while before I can play 16 anyway. I always love seeing the Trails figures as well. If I had a bit more disposable income I'd be all over those. At least they seem to be restocking some of them. Might at least be able to get Rean.

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

I’ve actually been on a JRPG burnout recently. So I caved and finally bought a Series S for game pass (only had switch) and have been enjoying the resident evil remakes. And I honestly think you’d love Resident Evil 1 remake as it’s essentially a wonderful and “charming” puzzle mystery game that’s aged tremendously well. The pre-rendered backgrounds in it are just so great! Only issue is I’m not sure physical copies are still being made for switch and am gonna guess it’s always been digital only for PS4/5 :/

@orbalology 11 месяцев назад

I think the Game Boy reproduction boxes are a solid option. I've been debating about that route vs. giving in and buying some expensive cardboard. But it depends what you value more for your collection (and what you're willing to sacrifice/pay). If you just want them to adorn your shelf & bring back some nostalgic memories the repo boxes are probably the way to go :)
