How do you like 16? I'm a JRPG nerd and that game's quality will potentially speed up me getting a PS5...I just ate dinner at a hole-in-the-wall called the Odd soul in my new home town in Arkansas. Delicious pulled pork pizza. But what was really interesting was their signature drink, the Odd Fashioned. Cognac, bourboun, tea and orange. Tasted like an old fashion but stronger and a bit less sweet. Delicious. Now I am sitting down with a Breckenridge Vanilla Porter and playing some Final Fantasy 16. Its a really good Saturday night. Hope you all are having a good one too.![]()

Hell ya me too. I just started playing Dragon Quest 11 because I never got into one of those games before and it’s surprisingly great. I love that it has a traditional turn based combat system.I'm a JRPG nerd

I've got DQ11 sitting on my monster backlog rack upstairs, glad to hear you liked it! I'm playing 5 here shortly; I'm playing Trials of Mana now, then Xenoblade X and then DQ5.Hell ya me too.

As I get older I love JRPGS more and more. I'm completely fed up and done with competitive online games, games as a 'service' are a scam and a Ubisoft-style bandit camp open world game really needs to be incredible to get me interested (like TotK and Witcher 3 pulled off).
JRPGS, on the other hand, give me a nice simple story (though sometimes stuff in like Nier Automata it's nowhere near simple), have incredible soundtracks and give tons and tons of content even if I am not grinding. Little in this world calms me down more than grinding in a JRPG while sports or a podcast plays in the background.
Lots of good stuff in your backlog (it resembles my backlog rackDQ 11 was very good but way too long to get the true ending. You basically had to travel to every city in the world 3 separate times.
That is my problem with RPGs lately. They are too long. There are just too many games to play lately to justify 100 hours on a game. But I do love them and have all the historical bona fides.
My RPG backlog is : FF Crisis Core remaster, Shin Megami Tensei 3 & 5, Soul Hackers, Chained Echoes (indie 16 bit inspired RPG with great reviews on gamepass), the entire xenoblade chronicles series (1, 2, Torna and 3), new Star Ocean, valkyria Chronicles 4, newest Valkryie Profile, Darkest Dungeon and Trials of Mana as well (both remake and original in the collection)
There are more but those are the top 1000 hours worth right there. Plus I have Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Dead Space Remake, Diablo 3, Dead Island 3, and Street Fighter 6 just from thus year that I bought and have not touched lol That's the issue with liking all genres and wanting to play everything.
Lots of good stuff in your backlog (it resembles my backlog rack). Chained Echoes RULES and isn't that long--I think you'd really enjoy that. Beware Xenoblades though...if we're talking about bloat, them and the Trails series are the absolute worst offenders. I really enjoy both series but Cold Steel could have been 20 less hours no problem.
We're going through a JRPG reniassance right now and the amount of releases I want to play is utterly staggering. Like just for the rest of the year we've got the remake of Mario RPG, HD2D Star Ocean 2, Persona 5 Tactics, Dragon Quest Monsters, Baten Kaitos Collection, a port of Suikoden 1 and 2 so I can finally play 2, Silent Hope and some promising looking indies like Sea of Stars, Beloved Rapture, Alterium Shift, Quartet...

I feel you on the length of rpg’s these days, when I played Tales Of Zestiria and Berseria it took me 90+ hours to beat those and I feel like they could trim it down a bit.DQ 11 was very good but way too long to get the true ending.

FF9 was part of the Nvidia link. Graphics card maker Nvidia has a streaming service called GForce Now that a lot of devs use to track and test their games. So it has a ton of unfinished games on it, some coming soon, some scrapped. A huge list of those games leaked, and the list is ridiculously accurate.I feel you on the length of rpg’s these days, when I played Tales Of Zestiria and Berseria it took me 90+ hours to beat those and I feel like they could trim it down a bit.
I played Star Ocean 2 and 4 and dug ‘em though I agree they are B tier games. The new Star Ocean looks rad its on my list. Never got to play Crisis Core so I’ll get to that one too. I downloaded the demo of Octopath Traveller 2 and love it so I’ll play that one eventually. I downloaded Suikoden 2 on my Ps3 and loved it tho I never finished it so I’m looking forward to playing the remaster. I am SO STOKED for the Super Mario RPG remake, i’ll buy a switch just to play it. That was the first rpg I ever played when it came out in ‘96 I f****** love that game so much.
Speaking of remakes although it hasn’t been made official yet by Square, there was a leak that theres going to be a Final Fantasy 9 remake in the future. It wont be an epic remake that requires three separate games like the FF7 remake but will be a one disc game which intrigues me. FF9 is probably my favorite one overall so I can’t wait for that one! There was another recent leak that Square is also working on a Chrono Trigger remake where it would be kind of like in the style of Octopath Traveller.
Oh ya I forgot about the FF tactics remaster! That should be amazing its one of my favorites too. I love the old school FF games so I respect that ranking bro. My top 5 would be FF9, FF7, FF8, FF6, FF10 in that order. I love 4 and 5 though too.FF9 was part of the Nvidia link.

For Square, it nailed Tactics Orgre remaster, Chrono Cross remaster, new Tomb Raider under UE5 (Square sold Crystal and this is now being published by Amazon), Kingdom Hearts 4, and more. The only thing left from Square is FF9 and FF Tactics remakes.
I am sooo stoked for the Tactics Remake/Remaster. FFT is my favorite game of all time (along with Symphony of the Night, don't make me choose). I'd put FF9 6th or so amongst FF games (FFT, FF7 remake, FF6, FF5, FF4, then FF9). I am less excited about it as I replayed it somewhat recently, within the past couple years.
I loved Tactics but got hardlocked on the rooftop battle (if you know, you know) and have been too salty over the years to go back. it was an absolutely incredible game, though.FF9 was part of the Nvidia link.
