Me, playing Trails in the Sky years ago, foolishly: I've just gotten to what is clearly the final dungeon and it's not too late yet. I bet I can finish this game tonight

Me, playing Trails into Reverie tonight, wisely: Ah, this section is called "finale." I bet this is the thing before the thing before the final dungeon. Well, good night

Update: I have now played another 20 hours or so and I'm still in the "finale" chapter. It's going to be more than a third of my entire playtime

Further update: I finished the "finale" chapter, saw the credits, saw the post-credits scene, played the post-credits dungeon and boss fight, saw the post-post-credits dungeon and boss fight scene, and then UP CAME ANOTHER TITLE CARD FOR THE "CODA" CHAPTER

@danbruno Well this is relevant information given that I’m finishing up chapter 3 of Trails in the Sky right now.

So I guess I’ll get to experience Reverie by the time I retire.

@wickedgood The Sky games are…not as long as some of the later ones, at least!
