Here is my weekly status and giveaway. I also talk about an OST track that I like. Please make sure to read the rules to qualify for the giveaway. I chose a track from a game that I played in the past.
The Dream Continues
I chose The Dream Continues as this week's track because this was another busy week, and I wanted something a bit more calming. This track plays in Trials in the Sky 2nd Chapter during the epilogue. This is an amazing track and I am always reminded of the Sky arc when I hear this track. There are two versions of this track: the original and the EVO version. Both of them are great, but the EVO is cleaner and I like listening to it more, but the original brings back the memories of the game more. The scene is memorable to me because that is where Joshua finally confesses his feelings to Estelle. The conversation that they had was funny and interesting, but I won't spoil that for anyone who wants to play the game. This track makes me more hyped about the fact that there will be a more modern edition of the series coming out soon.
I think about Estelle Bright when I hear this track. As the main character of the Liberl Arc, I always enjoyed seeing her interact with others because she is almost always cheerful and optimistic. That rubs off on others, and I like seeing others also adopting a brighter viewpoint on things as they progress on their journey. Estelle Bright is one of my top female game protagonists for that very reason. I like how the Kiseki series has made her reappear in later arcs, and she plays her role as a Bracer. Bracers are mercenaries who focus on protecting citizens, and they complete tasks for them, too. The image comes from the wiki for Estelle.
Do you like any of these tracks? If so, why?

Tips (source)
I think the tips are something every new player should know about. It will help people progress in the game and it hasn't really been shared since surya1adiga stopped his giveaways.
- Take music lessons when possible to raise skill and reduce ego.
- Having lesson specific instruments helps in receiving more skill from that lesson.
- Have pizza box to store any pizza received during mission to reuse later.
- Buy cold pizza slice if possible. This gives 1 refill every 24hours. Comes very handy when you are low on energy.
- If you have enough of cold pizza slice and pizza box, you will never run out of energy.
- If you have more fans than skill and you won't reduce the ego , you can use a storage trailer to store unnecessary cards. Or you can list the card in market for an unreasonably high price.
- Ego received for a particular mission increases every time you play it. The ego is reset to base level the next day. So, try to play different missions to control the ego gained.
Keep track of your achievements to unlock in game rewards- Buy storage trailer (only if necessary) to keep the cards that might have a negative effect. Like a card with high fan count resulting in ego.
- When earning skill points through music lessons, you can earn more points per lesson if you hold more of specific instrument cards. There seems to be base skill which is rewarded irrespective of the card count and then the skill increases depending on the number of the lesson specific card one has.
- Try taking up many smaller missions to fill up pizza boxes and have extra energy to play more rewarding missions. But you need to have pizza boxes for this to work.
