I never started Baten Kaitos Origins but want to go through the first game and finish it first.
I somehow got myself pulled into FFXIV. RIP all other gaming and life in general for a while, I guess. If anything, my roommate (who is also playing) is pleased that I'm happy to work on fishing and crafting instead of the usual rush through the game that most people do. I guess this is why I never finish my games. I'm too content with maxing out my fishing and cooking levels.
I was playing on PC but my bf ended up deciding to get the PS4 edition so that we could try playing side by side on our dual monitor setup. We got two copies so we could switch out instead of pushing someone off the PC, and I'm pleasantly surprised by the quality of the PS4 edition and the gamepad compatibility with the game. For things like crafting, I love it (also, there's remote play?!!!!).
