Also spent some time playing the Final Fantasy Resonance demo and as someone who just has not been able to get into later entries in this series (my personal peaks are at 6 and 9), I am tentatively optimistic about this one. I want to get a little farther in the demo but I'm probably buying this one.

Knocked out the to do list item that I've been putting off because it's just a boring slog, but it was the most urgent blocker so it had to get done. Tested that the behavior is correct and then made one tiny improvement that probably nobody else will notice but I will be happier for having done it.

I shouldn't spend the time on it now but I'm kind of tempted to do some kind of write up on stuff that I tried but ultimately decided to not use in Typica and why those decisions were made.

The porting work involved there was pretty minimal and I think there's some other stuff I can go ahead and delete now as well.

I didn't have it marked as a preview release blocker, but after finishing up a report I left half finished yesterday I did go ahead and make all the changes needed to remove a dependency I wanted to get rid of. Now all the reports are produced and displayed in a uniform way that requires a little less boilerplate, isn't showing spurious warnings on stderr, and generally doesn't have quite so many sharp edges to beware of. It is a bit slower to display when requesting hundreds of pages at once.

This is excellent news and I hope I can do the same over on the Windows side. The more I can move into the "just works" category, the better.
