In one of my earlier logs(I think the one for Last Window's first chapter?) I talked about how I usually save in a separate slot after going through a long time not playing something
Anyways my Atelier save files have the dates, from oldest to newest "6/10/2021", "1/11/2021", "13/3/2022", "4/7/2022", "4/10/2022"
also the second one on that list was one I overwrote accidentally so I don't really know when I started playing it, I do know that today I was doing it for a few hours and did like two quests and not much else because I was barely able to remember what I was actually planning to do before
There's no real conclusion to this
