Haha, well, I couldn't play the game for a few days (ugh, I had a really busy week with midterms and assignments and appointments D8). Then for the first bit I was only playing when my roommate was around since he loved the first one and wanted to see me play the second. Theeeeeeen factor in that I have actually been doing EVERYTHING (I won't leave an area until I've finished all missions, etc.) and I've been going a bit slow. XD;
The only things I'm not collecting right now are feathers and looting chests. I'll loot any chests I come across but I'm leaving feathers for now since I figure hunting them all down even with a guide will be as annoying as flags were in the first game. B|
