Excited about this as never played an ultimate alliance game and can dig marvel action RPG. It is one of two games releasing near my birthday the other being Fire emblem three houses. So much to play in the middle of summer
FFIX, almost through disc 3. Closing in on the end.... great replaying this as have forgotten a lot since playing the original PS1 release. Like playing a whole new game again - love the Switch
FF9 on disc three now - I only remember bits and bobs of this game after last playing it on PS1 release - such an awesome RPG. Got FF7 preloaded for launch day tooπ
So I got my switch on launch day with BOTW from work having ogled at it when the first batch came in store.
This is hands down the best console I have ever owned. I play handheld 99% of the time. I also brought my brother and his wife one as I was so blown away by it.
The switch has turned into the RPG machine of my dreams. Too much to play and that was before the Final fantasy rereleases.
Spent yesterday getting back into FFIX after a 15 year hiatus.
If the 21st June for Fire emblem is correct from Amazon Spain. That would be amazing as it would give me time to complete all the FF's before it releases - maybe
@zool Disgaea 5 is amazing, played it after I could put down launch day Zelda. Sunk 80 hours into story and DLC content, highly recommended. Why I got no.1 ππ»
Well looking at Play Asia it is only Β£40.08 not including shipping. No rush to have it straight away on launch as completed both on PS2 years ago. No skin off my nose, just shows the benefits of region free for this generation.
I was much more hacked off that the World of Final fantasy release was digital only then a physical copy was announced after I had already downloaded a 10gb game.
Digital or physical is providing consumer choice so you can play how you want which is great. But please release these things at the same time.
Was gutted about Vrally reviews last year so passed on that. After Gear club unlimited 2 reviewed similar to the first which I got at launch and was disappointed.
π€π»This and Xenon review well as that will tide me over this year. Horizon chase turbo is scratching that arcade itch atm
More JRPG's please, enjoying Phantsy Star at the moment. The ages port has convinced me to get the Megadrive collection for the rest and Shining force games
Really impressed that Pokemon is 8th and 9th on the list considering it came out mid November. Shows it either really smashed sales numbers or there are super dedicated fans out there - or both.
I spent 20 hours to complete the main campaign for nostalgia but too many other things to spend more time on it at the moment.
So being addicted to JRPG's this year is already looking great ππ»
1: Tales of Vesperia on payday 2: 7, yes 7 Final fantasy games being released in 1 year 3: Fire emblem 3 houses 4: 2-3 smaller JRPG's a month appear on the eshop minimally 5: Pokemon gen 8 6: last years RPG backlog 7: SMT V/Dragonquest Xi - maybe?
Too much to play, my backlog will grow. Currently playing Phantasy Star ATM. A game released the year I was born and I got free with gold points, will tide me over till payday and Tales awaits π
I love my switch which I got on launch day 03/03/17 - forever etched in my memory.
At that time I got rid of my New 3DS XL a couple of months later to a friend.
Lately I have been considering getting a 2ds XL for the extended battery life and smaller form factor. Specifically so I can use it bike packing. Play in tent before bed and charge with dynamo/solar panels during day
Loved my PS2 at the time and JRPG's are my jam straight in the wish list this goes - releases 4 days before payday - doubt I would have finished Tales of Vesperia by then though
Got Batman on the switch, couldn't get past 1 fight scene in the third chapter. Just crashed the game and didn't save my progress.
Really enjoyable experience up till then. Won't be buying those games again on switch until they patch performance issues. As was invested in story and now feel let down
Brilliant, never played this series before so really wanted to try it before release ππ» Mega bonus that the save data carries over just like Octopath

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (July 27th)
Fire emblem 3 houses is numero uno seems pretty decent so far only 2 hours in.
If I feel I need a break I will go for a bit of fragging in the stealth dropped Doom π ahh childhood memories ππ»
Also Horizon chase turbo for short bursts of pure arcade joy

Re: Reminder: Final Fantasy VII Finally Launches On A Nintendo System Today
Had this preloaded and waited till midnight so I could play the bombing mission.
Still have IX to finish, not too far to go now as on disc 3. Then April is surely FF month of all months on the switch.

Re: Fantasy RPG Bonds Of The Skies Is Flying Onto Nintendo Switch
I'm a lover of JRPG's - they seem to be all I am filling my switch up with.
Played a couple of these in droughts of the past and found them passable if not forgettable.
Now I have more games to play than I have time or money for.

Re: Feature: The Big Nintendo Direct Summary - 13th February
So I already have a dangerous switch backlog and this direct gave me:-
FFIX drop - payday
FFVII release date
Best version of DQXI
Oninaki
Rune factory 4/5
Marvel ultimate alliance
RPG goodness galore and not enough time to play them all
Re: Nintendo Download: 14th February (Europe)
Daemon machina demo, too tired to play it last night.
FFIX on payday as I may have finished my current game by then

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (February 2nd)
Tales of Vesperia for me, almost through act 2. Horizon chase turbo in between, try and get to the next area.
Although my copy of Disgaea 1 arrived yesterday. Ready for when I finish Tales of Vesperia next week
Re: Mario Kart Tour Has Been Delayed Until Summer 2019
This year looks awesome- April seems to be wallet crippling from a JRPG fanboy
Re: Rumour: Nikkei Suggests Smaller And More Affordable Switch Hardware Is On The Way
This would be great news if it comes to fruition. I am close to filling my launch day switch with 200gb card up to the brim.
Also have been considering getting a 2ds XL to go bikepacking with as switch too big for that purpose.
So whack in the biggest micro sd card possible then use it for digital only JRPG's and use my current switch for AAA releases.
π€π»For better battery life, one can dream.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 19th)
Got Tales of Vesperia on Wednesday and haven't been able to put it down - about to wrap up act 1. 13 hours in. Seems about right for a 40hr JRPG.
My first Tales game and enjoying it so far.
Re: Nintendo Reveals That Fortnite Was The Most-Played Switch Game Of 2018 In Europe

Re: Feature: 10 Ways The Nintendo Switch Can Have Its Best Year Yet
So being addicted to JRPG's this year is already looking great ππ»
1: Tales of Vesperia on payday

3: Fire emblem 3 houses
4: 2-3 smaller JRPG's a month appear on the eshop minimally
5: Pokemon gen 8
6: last years RPG backlog
7: SMT V/Dragonquest Xi - maybe?
Too much to play, my backlog will grow. Currently playing Phantasy Star ATM. A game released the year I was born and I got free with gold points, will tide me over till payday and Tales awaits π
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (January 12th)
World of final fantasy, at the final boss stage. Got defeated once ran out of items so have to go back and finish it.
After that some Horizon chase turbo and maybe go back to finish something half done in my back log
Re: Final Fantasy X | X-2 HD Remaster And Final Fantasy XII Both Dated For Nintendo Switch

Re: Fantasy RPG Fairy Fencer F: Advent Dark Force Hits Switch Next Week, New Screenshots Shared
Wishlisted, may buy in a JRPG lull when on sale - too much in current playlist and backlog to justify the price point.
More RPG's the merrier though
Re: Legrand Legacy: Tale Of The Fatebound Brings PS2-Inspired JRPG Action To Switch This Month

Re: Review: Tales of Vesperia: Definitive Edition - An Aptly-Named Refresh Of A True JRPG Classic
Can't wait to pick up my copy of this, really excited to try a Tales game for the first time.
Just about to finish World of Final Fantasy so the timing works out nicely. Ignoring my current crazy backlog of course π
Re: Square Enix Preparing Dragon Quest XI S Surprise For 1st January
Western release date please, pretty please
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Christmas? (Special Edition)
Just finished Let's go Eevee so I will be playing the other Pokemon game on switch - World of Final fantasy. About 7 hours in and loving it so far.
Re: Rumour: There Doesn't Appear To Be A Switch Physical Edition For World Of Final Fantasy Maxima
Sad news indeed was looking forward to this physical once I have beat Valkyria Chronicles which I downloaded this weekend.
But on the other hand 10.7gb doesn't seem to be too much of a sacrifice and I love FF in any form.
Almost finished the FFXV chibi edition, certainly has its unique charms compared to the main edition but probs coz I love the chocobros
Re: Nintendo Download: 18th October (Europe)
Valkyria chronicles and Disgaea 1 complete when payday comes around next Friday
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (October 6th)
FFXV pocket edition, don't shoot me. I loved the main game and just had to play this weird chibi version.
Once I started I couldn't stop. It is gladly getting me hyped for World of Final fantasy maxima next month.
Although there is so much JRPG goodness I am already backlogged on the switch.
Re: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Remastered Edition Announced For Nintendo Switch
I want it now - amazing news and Vesperia is January, brill because Xmas was getting packed with JRPG goodness, too much to play and little time

Re: Telltale Admits Its Game Engine Has Let Fans Down In Recent Years
@Lroy yes I have the cart as got for only Β£17 on release.
Tried a few times to get past but got annoyed and gave up
Re: Telltale Admits Its Game Engine Has Let Fans Down In Recent Years
Got Batman on the switch, couldn't get past 1 fight scene in the third chapter. Just crashed the game and didn't save my progress.
Really enjoyable experience up till then. Won't be buying those games again on switch until they patch performance issues. As was invested in story and now feel let down
Re: Review: The Banner Saga 2 (Switch eShop)
This is the game I'm playing once I finish Octopath- hopefully this weekend
Re: Ghostlight Becomes Certified Switch Dev, Ready To Bring Fantastic Games To System
Yes please more JRPGs. Easily my favourite genre and I already have a backlog on switch.
Need to finish Octopath by payday
Re: Gear.Club Unlimited 2 Revealed Exclusively For Nintendo Switch
Hopefully better than the first. I enjoyed it but yet to complete as the races were super short with excessive load times often longer than the race.
But if built from the ground up great and Vrally4 will bring back some childhood memories of playing that on ps2 and pc
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 11th)
Bit more Octopath traveller, think I need to do some levelling up before I move on.
Will also play the Valkyria Chronicles 4 demo and watch Voltron season 6 as it's awesome
Re: Valkyria Chronicles 4 Demo And Digital Pre-Orders Go Live Today On Switch
Brilliant, never played this series before so really wanted to try it before release ππ» Mega bonus that the save data carries over just like Octopath
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (August 4th)
Gorgeous weekend so mountain biking all day Saturday and have work Sunday but will mountain bike to and from that.
But thanks to the amazing portability of the switch I can take it with me and squeeze in some Octopath traveller at rest stops.
Re: Robothorium Will Bring Cross-Platform Turn-Based RPG Action To Switch
