Going through Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix on steam, its freaking awesome. I already mastered the original on PS2 back when it first came out, but its nice to play this decades later as an adult in the games best form.
Looking forward to Suikoden in March and Lunar (my favorite) in April!
I'm 30 hours in Persona 5 Royal. See you all in 2 months or so.
Still the longest not-live-service game I've ever played, although Pathfinder: Kingmaker gave it a run for its money recently.
I am about 3 hours into FFVII Rebirth now that it's available for a platform I actually have access to.
There are things about it that I dont care for, but that was also true of Remake and I had a blast with that game overall. I hope I enjoy Rebirth too.
Kinda oppo here, I did not like most of Remake (not for the reasons most seem to complain about), but I am having a great time with Rebirth so far this month.
Mostly surprised at how well it's running. Silky smooth, and I have an aging mid-tier PC.
I didn't finish anything in January, but I started playing Final Fantasy X on PS2. I have never played it before but I have generally disliked every Final Fantasy I have tried to play before primarily because of its turn based combat and forced random combat.
Its alright so far, but blitzball is not fun. It just seems like the game plays itself and I just press random buttons occasionally. The combat is repetitive but fortunately there is far less of it than other JRPGs I have played so its not so bad. At least for now.
FF8 through FF10 had these optional minigames that some people love more than the game they're in. Blitzball is probably the most complex, but it's entirely optional outside of Wakka's early arc. And even then, you can just lose.
So don't feel pressured to play Blitzball unless you're going for 100% completion...which I wouldn't recommend for your first time anyway.
I eeh played Blitzball for maybe 30 hours. Kinda liked it... And it doesn't plays itself, manual control is far better....
I just played whatever the forced story one is for Wakka's last game. I managed to win 0-1 by doing nothing except spam shoot with the MC or Wakka whenever I had the chance and was close enough to the goal. Honestly its a pretty bad way to introduce the minigame, and the tutorial is also not that helpful because it doesn't seem to tell you anything about the results screens, or techniques, or any of that other stuff. I mean there are multiple control options, and then it only explains Auto control then literally tells you "there are these other modes but dont pick them, just stay on auto." I didn't know how long the match was supposed to be or anything. I don't know if the manual would have included this information either. Just seemed like the developers forgot they had all that stuff as part of the minigame too, and left it out of the tutorial.
And another thing, the tutorial for blitzball happens and then there is a huge gap of stuff the player does before they even play blitzball. By the time I got to the minigame I was wondering if I even was supposed to play or if it was just a lore demonstration I earned for successfully doing the Jecht Shot on the transport ship earlier.
I am glad to learn it is optional because I will not be rushing to play that again.
I probably have to skip this month, usualy i always play one, but this time i play another genre and have for sure not much time. If i really get to one i would either Octopath Traveler II or Tactics Ogre Reborn
I'm going back and playing tales of vesperia. One of my favorite tales games and the definitive edition is available on switch so I can play it on the go.
Awesome freaking game
One of my favorite if not my favorite tales games. I like that the protagonist is older so is a bit more mature than other tales games.
I finished ff16 in Jan and found it to be too big of a departure from traditional final fantasy for me. So I'm looking for the next thing to jump into.
I completely forgot i finished ff16 as well. It's a big departure from traditional ff and it took me more than a year to finish it. Not the biggest fan, but i only played the last 20% in January. The ending was fine.
Yeah I thought the ending was alright. But theh left a lot of potential on the floor by making it the way they did. Lot of good character arcs we won't get to see for some likely monetary reasons given how great the game looks.
I ended up getting sucked into a CRPG big time last month, so the only thing JRPG I finished in January was Final Fantasy VII Remake Intermission. It was okay. I also bounced hard off Live A Live. Way too weird for me, I think.
I've got a date with Trails through Daybreak 2 on the 14th.
I am half way through my new game plus run of Metaphor: Refantazio. Hopefully beat the secret boss soon, and then I plan to move on to Persona 5 Royale. Played OG Persona 5 on PS4 a couple years ago, so have a rough idea of what I am getting into.
Almost finished Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth to get ready for Pirate Yakuza in a few weeks.
Also picked up The Man Who Erased His Name on sale yesterday, which in retrospect might have been better to play first.
Trails in the Sky 3rd.
Trails in the Sky SC (2). Well, I finished it for the second time in January.
