Me too. My daughter and I enjoyed playing Astro’s Playroom and went ahead and bought Astro Bot.

Also debating getting the new Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom later this month.
Yeah my daughter is 9 and she's looking forward to it. We usually only play Mario games on her Nintendo, but Astro's Playroom was one PS5 game she liked.

LOL, I died laughing when Red showed up to challenge Cloud. I love how each area has more detail to it, issue is you spend hours on the side quests.

Yeah that doesn't change.

It is pretty amazing how often they added things in the game that I didn't know I wanted (the entire seventh infantry sequence in upper Junon) but can't imagine not having them now.

NGL though, theres more than a few things that they added in that I wish they hadn't. I think you've gotten through most of my least favorite parts of the game already (really, the sheer volume of forced side quests in chapter 7 and 8) but theres something pretty late game that is/was infuriatingly annoying and completely unnecessary which is completely unrelated to side content. You'll know what I'm talking about when you get there.

Ch 9 (which is the best example of them expanding on the OG and nailing it, even more so than Junon IMO) and 10 are awesome.

I might be the only one, but I would pay hand over foot for as many sequels as necessary for an FF8 remake. Fix Squalls persona by making explicit many of the implicit reasons for his personality traits, same for the plot, and upgrade the battle system which was pretty good already but can be made great.
Hell yeah. Would much prefer an 8 remake over 9 which apparently is what they’re working on

I will scream from every mountain top I can find for a fleshed out Xenogears remake/remaster. I know I'm probably screaming into the void with that one, but they did just release a new Weltall figurine that's north of $250. So there's some interest somewhere.

Just finished the Cosmo Canyon chapter. Really great character development with Red XIII, was an amazing chapter.

About 70 hours of play into the game, I’ve been doing the side quests and intel you actually get some story background with it so it’s good.

Really loving this game.

Playing Kingdom Come Deliverance and loving it. Henry is a GOAT video game protagonist.

Also playing MLB 24, if only EA could make a hockey game this good.
