Who's Ice? Both are awesome. Chrono Trigger is considered one of the best games of all time by most who have played it.
What made you decide to go with FFIV over all FFs?
Chrono Trigger is the ideal JRPG for beginners and also a fantastic game, definitely get that.

Finally dusted off Grandia II. That last 10 hours was no fun. Story goes to shit and the
soured me greatly. The spell animations are way too long. I stopped using the critical attacks and the cancel system in general after 5 hours into the game. Great battle system grafted onto a truly boring game. Graphics are charming as hell though.
Halfway into Parasite Eve. Inventory management is a pain. Hoping to finish that so I can get into some comforting stuff like Dragon Quest IV.
boss rush, followed by a weakass final boss

Grandia 1 was exactly the same way. Haven't played part 2 but I'm not surprised. I don't know why people give the Grandia series a pass for its long spell animations.
Hope it's the IOS version.

Quit Tales of Xillia 7 hours in because I hate it. The information overload and anxiety I got every time I found a tutorial monolith was making me miserable. Not to mention the battles felt like a hectic mess. I need to accept that I really dislike Tales combat. I actually wouldn't mind if they had single character or maybe duo combat because my mind just can't focus on so many characters running around and blasting stuff. I mean, I can win fights and all but I just ever feel like I have a true grasp on what I'm doing. Not gonna be fooled by Beresia. I don't mind noncontrollable party in FF XIII or Xenoblade so it's really just Tales and Star Ocean.
Also Wild Arms 3 on PS4 and I am loving it. Good solid turn based combat and an interesting story. Glad they patched it since I last played it.

No, playing the DS version instead. Not having party chat is probably a blessing, since I'm the type who talks to NPCs after every event while not being particularly fond of JRPG writing.

Just started playing DQVIII earlier tonight. I had never played it before, loving it.

Currently playing Grandia. Just got on Disc 2 last weekend.
Finished Bravely Second. Core gameplay remains fantastic. But jesus the story if anything is even worse than Defaults. Too much focus given on trying to be clever, 4th wall breaking "we gotcha" type moments. One of them is genuinely cool but it gets obnoxious very quickly.
The localisation and conversation are good and can be very funny but it feels really banal after 20 hours or so. The characters are also a step down from Defaults.
Its an okay game overall. It's still fun to experiment and break the game through mixing different jobs even though it's not really necessary since the hourglass ZA WORLDO breaks the game in every situation anyway lol.
There is a tease for a third game...but im out at this point. Especially if they just lazily re-use the same map and assets over again,
Ill make more of an effort than most but i generally loath playing rpgs on PC.

Rogue Galaxy and Dark Cloud 2 which I picked up from the PSN Flash Sale, and most likely Tales of Berseria when that comes in the mail tomorrow.

Starting Tales of Berseria tomorrow!
I'm playing FFXV and Pokemon Sun.
Next up is probably World of Final Fantasy. I might do a shorter game next like Child of Light. Not sure yet.
What do you think?

yes its fine
The guy route is the official cannon of sorts ie its the one the spin-offs will always recognize. But i think the differences are negligible enough.
The social links with the guys are way better in the female route too.
Blue Dragon. I'm glad I gave this another shot, because I had a "meh" impression of it when it first came out (despite buying it). The performance improvement on XB1 is still a standout. I've gotten as far as disc 3, and some of the darker story bits really round things out like you might not expect from the Toriyama art..

well since the male route has no sls with the male party members, so its hard to be worse than nothing
I just completed Utawarerumono 1.
I think I will play Glory of Heracles 1 for the NES next.
Glory of Heracles 2 has a really nice track I like

About 20 hours into P3P, at September 24 in-game and playing as the male MC. Thinking I might drop it honestly. Persona 4 is one of my all-time favorites, so I was excited to try its predecessor, especially hearing that this game had a darker tone that sounded right up my alley.
Unfortunately, I'm not really liking P3P so far, despite really wanting to... The game just feels a bit lifeless to me. I don't feel any kind of bond with the characters so far apart from Koromaru (Aegis is ok too though). Tartarus gets pretty stale after a while, and the social links seem far less interesting than in Persona 4. Does it pick up or is Persona 3 just not for me?

I got a $50 eShop gift card for my birthday so I decided to get Xenoblade Chronicles for my N3DS. I actually bought it for the Wii but never got around to playing it and now it's sitting as a factory sealed collector's item.
I'm about 2 hours in and liking it so far. There seems to be a lot to learn about the game mechanics but I'm hoping to get the hang of it as I go on. I have died a few times though at the start which is uncharacteristic. Not being able to control my party and having limited healing is a bit different from what I'm used to.

Ah ok. I wish I had known that before starting; I considered looking up which MC was better but was worried about seeing spoilers and went with the male MC because the game said it's the best one for newcomers. Oh well, maybe someday I'll come back to it and restart the game as the FeMC.

No real reason, this late in the game. I have done the entire Building twice, but it is honestly too long, with little payoff. No new cg sequences, or anything. Just youtube the ending and move on.

Yeah I was leaning that way. Thanks for confirming. It seems like pretty cool post-game content and I'm sure I'd love it back in the day. Too bad the normal game wasn't rigorous enough to test my weapon load out.

Good choice. Greatest JRPG of all time. I think the 3DS version is great, having this game portable is perfect.
Pro tip: Switch your main character often, it'll keep the combat feeling fresh and you won't get too burnt out.

Playing Final Fantasy X HD.
Just reached Bevelle's Cloister of Trials. Man I like the design but these temples are always kinda tedious. Still don't get what the different sphere types do.
I'm loving the cast. I also love the whole Yevon stuff, especially that prayer gesture. It all feels really fascinating. Best moment so far is Yuna performing the Sending in Kilika. That whole cutscene was amazing.
I wish there was more interaction among party members. Whenever they talk or there's a cutscene, it's almost always due to forwarding the plot. There should be more scenes like talking with Lulu on the jet ski machina (before going into Guadosalam), about the characters and their pasts. Hell, just scenes of spending peaceful time together during their journey would be very fulfilling. Though I guess that isn't very likely seeing as the game's ramped up and is focusing on Seymour and Yuna now.
Amazing game.
