I plan to get a little more Metaphor: Refantazio in on PS4, as well as play a bit of Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot if I get the chance. No Sparking Zero for me quite yet, but hopefully sometime soon!
Gah, I’m so annoyed I had to miss this one! I’m not a huge Splatoon fan by any means, but I love playing it when I get the chance. Unfortunately I didn’t have the time to participate, but C’est la vie and all that.
Home for the weekend, so I'll be able to play some Visions of Mana and a lot of Genshin Impact. The 5.0 update's shaping up to be one of my favorite updates, with Natlan immediately having some of the best OST and visuals out of the areas.
Moving into my new apartment for college this weekend, so probably not a lot of time for gaming. I want to get some rounds of Persona 4 Arena Ultimax in but who knows.
Just bought the first Danganrompa yesterday, so I’ll be going through that when I have time today! It’s been pretty fun so far, definitely an interesting game. I’ll also be knocking out Hero Ascension quests in XC3 before I do a NG+ run.
I finally made it to January in Persona 3 Reload on PS5, so...probably gonna make my way to the end. I'm working on prepping my team (level 99 via the Reaper) and Persona Fusion (Messiah, Orpheus Telos, etc.) so I'm all ready. I want to try the Elizabeth fight as well but so far I'm unprepared for that.
This is incredible news, Xillia are my favorite Tales of games, and I have been wanting to play them on modern consoles forever. If it’s real, will be picking up day one.
Planning on going through some more Nier: Automata today. I just went through the amusement park area for the first time, and the game keeps on getting better and better.
Going through some Paper Mario TTYD on Switch, and a bit of my replay of DQV on DS. I also started my first ever Souls game (DS2) earlier this week on ps4, so probably a bit of that as well.
Paper Mario! Also, I randomly went back to Pokemon Sword for a bit yesterday, so I might kill some time playing that while watching some One Piece or Bleach today.
Super excited to pick this up as a graduation present to myself! The original is probably one of my favorite games of all time, and probably what got me into JRPGs in the first place. Super glad the remake is spectacular, and incredibly hyped to visit Rougeport again!
Getting in some Skyward Sword this weekend, been listening to the soundtrack at work and got into the mood. I also went back to do some sidequests in Yo-Kai Watch 2 for a little bit.
Just bought Nier Automata yesterday, so I've been playing that as well as finally playing a bit more Persona 3 Reload on PS5 today. I've been really busy these last couple of weeks with finals and whatnot so I'm glad to be able to play it again. Just got through October, and this game just keeps getting better the more I'm playing it. Probably like it more than P5R at the moment ngl.
Had my final competition in high school this week (choir state) so didn't get much gaming in. I did, however, start up Mega Man Star Force on Friday and have been playing that in my spare time. Been fun so far.
So excited for this game. This was one of my favorite games to play growing up, and it feels right that it comes out the day before I graduate high school. Probably going to preorder in May, can’t wait to play it again.
For TTYD at least, it doesn't matter to me whether it comes out on a Friday or a Thursday. That weekend is my high school graduation week, so I figure I'll be way too busy to play it until things calm down for awhile. Interesting that they're shifting to Thursdays now though.
Finally found the urge to go through Trails of Cold Steel IV on PS5 so I've been playing that this last week. Almost done with Act 1 (I think), and I'm enjoying it a lot. Having the New Class VII by themselves for a big chunk of the game has been super fun, it's nice to see the game give them a chance to develop without being in the shadow of Rean.
Other than that, trying to inch my way to the ending of Final Fantasy VII Remake so I can go through Rebirth.
This reminds me, I still need to beat Alliance Alive. I bought it a long time ago on 3DS and then again when it got a remaster for Switch but I still haven’t beaten it. I think I got to the final dungeon, so one of these days I should finish it up, it was pretty fun.
In regards to this one, it looks pretty interesting, so I’ll probably be picking it up sometime after it releases.
On switch, Persona 5 Strikers. Just started the Kyoto arc and it’s getting really interesting. I suck at Musous but I’m finally starting to understand more about how to play different characters (other than Joker and Haru).
On Playstation, I’m going through Trails of Cold Steel IV. So far it’s been kind of slow but I’ve heard it gets really good so I’m excited.
I do want to go through this, but I still have Persona 5 Strikers to go through. That, and I just bought Digimon Survive (Lesson learned, do not impulse buy) since it was on sale, so it'll be a while before I can go through it.
Too bad about the bugs, I was actually looking forward to this game. Seemed like it would be pretty good and I liked the idea behind it. I’ll probably be looking around later to see if it’s been patched down the line.
I'm actually pretty excited for this to be finished, as I'll be in Japan a couple of weeks after it's reported to be completed. Now, thinking about the sign, it's a very...clear indicator of what it is.
I finally had time earlier this week to complete Trails of Cold Steel III, so I bought IV immediately afterward (ikyk). Planning on playing a little bit of that this weekend when I get the chance.
Yes, I was waiting for this review! I’m bummed about the performance issues, but if it’s similar to Persona 5 Strikers then I’ll probably still get it on switch.
I have a theater competition this weekend so probably not a lot of gaming going on, but hopefully I’ll be able to get some Persona 4 Golden in when I can. I’m going through the 3rd dungeon right now and it’s definitely…interesting.
Fire Emblem Fates (Birthright)! I'm getting really close to the end so I want to finish it this weekend since it won't be busy for me. After Birthright I want to move into either Revelation or Conquest next. I'm leaning towards Conquest but I kind of suck at Fire Emblem so who knows.
I'll generally play platformers like the Azure Striker Gunvolt series or play a few rounds of Smash Bros Ultimate after I go through another lengthy JRPG.
@DogDetective Yes, they mentioned in an interview recently that there will be differences in the plot with each NG+. I'm not sure what this means yet but it's definitely interesting.
Maybe like a 7/10. It wasn’t amazing tbh, but I am thrilled about the Paper Mario remake, and the new Vanillaware game looks interesting though I’m not entirely sold on the name (Unicorn Overlord??). All in all, a semi-decent direct held together with a few interesting games.
I have kind of a busy weekend, so probably not much gaming for me, unfortunately. When I'm free I'm probably going to try and sneak in some Octopath Traveler II and see if I can get some grinding in. Almost done with my initial four traveler's stories (Partitio, Angea, Hikari, Castii) so I'm excited to finally be moving on to the other four somewhat soon.
It wasn’t mentioned on the list, but my September purchase will most likely be Fate/Samurai Remnant, it looks pretty awesome. Dragon Quest also looks interesting (watched about half of the anime when it was airing a couple of years back) but I dunno if l I’ll be grabbing it for awhile.
Haven't even done all the sage quests yet. I've gotten a decent amount of shrines, but a big chunk of my playtime goes to looking for armor and doing random sidequests.
Going through the end (I assume, it's hard to tell with these games) of Chapter 4 in Trails of Cold Steel 3. Been waiting for a chance to play through it (since they're all insanely long) and figured today was a good day for it.
This morning I played a little bit of Tears of The Kingdom, but today I’ve been really focusing on Final Fantasy XV on PS4. I’m at the final dungeon, but I went back to grind for a little bit. Took advantage of the Maagho Lasagna benefits (100% exp bonus) and fought the FFXIV event boss Garuda over and over again until I was satisfied. Started at 54, ended at 95, so now I’m working on grabbing the Ultima Weapon before I finish up.
I've still been playing off and on for the last couple of weeks though. I just finished my second temple (I've been busy exploring okay?) and I'm working on armor upgrades atm. But honestly? It's been hard to just continue playing for long periods of time. I've also been working on games I started before TotK like Persona 5 Strikers and Persona 4 Golden, so balancing has been...difficult.
Persona all the way this weekend. Playing some Persona 5 Strikers, I'm up to the third jail and really enjoying it so far! It's definitely a different game than Persona 5 Royal, but it's been really fun figuring out combos and spending more time with the cast. I'm also going through Persona 4, but at a much slower pace since I mostly want to focus on Strikers.
A little TotK, but not much. I'm starting to feel worn down by all the content, so I'm planning on giving it a little time before coming back. In other news, I've started my third playthrough for Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (got the urge after playing Future Redeemed) and also working on the second Jail in Persona 5 Strikers.
Having recently beat Persona 5 Royal, I'm working on Strikers at the moment. I also bought Persona 4 and 3 since they were on sale so if I get bored of the gameplay I might start 4 up. Or, y'know, might just begin my NG+
Playing some Persona 5 Royal this weekend. I'm about halfway through November and the game's been really picking up steam. Really excited to see where it goes from here. If I feel like I need to take a break, I purchased the Ace Attorney games on 3Ds last week so I might take a crack at those too.
I probably will, it’s been so long that at this point I don’t really care. It’s a bit annoying but again, it’s not too big of a deal. I just hope this doesn’t set the standard from now on if it actually is $70.
Honestly I just want some more information on ToTK and the Xenoblade 3 DLC. What would be nice is some information on the Dragon Quest III remake and Dragon Quest XII but I don't think we'll hear about it here. I think it would also be cool if we got a remake or port of Fate/stay night (realta nua preferably) but I highly doubt that would ever happen.
Still Fire Emblem, but I finally beat Tales of Xillia 2 the other day after going back and forth for about a year. Going back to it after playing Arise made me remember how much I enjoyed the Xillia combat, it feels so good to string together combos in that game.

Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Announced, Coming To Switch In 2025
@Vexx234 Haha, most likely. I was born the same year D&P came out so there’s three gens before I was even around.

Seeing how X was my first ever Pokémon game back when I was a kid, this is really exciting for me. Fingers crossed it all works out.
