@DennisReynolds I'd be curious what would happen if Square would try to make a Final Fantasy like IV-IX (not a huge fan of VIII though). I don't think VII Remake or XVI really appealed in the same way. I didn't show up for either one of them, and I even have FFVII toys and the soundtrack on my shelf
I've been buying physical games, but mostly for older consoles, and the games I've been buying on current consoles tend to collections of older games (always physical when available). The new games of this console generation haven't really been impressing me. On a technical level, some of them are really cool, but they tend to be bloated with too much story dialog, checklists, NPC fetch quests, crafting/simulation, and a focus on Trophies/Achievements instead of being able to simply enjoy a fun game.
The most recent new game (not remaster, remake, or port) I bought is Fantasian: Neo Dimension (haven't played yet), and the last new game to truly excite me was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge. There have been remakes of games that I didn't get the chance to play earlier, such as Trials of Mana and Star Ocean: The Second Story R, that I really enjoyed too.
I've been a reliable games purchaser since the NES but I feel like game companies generally don't seem to want my money anymore
@Boxmonkey I've been feeling the same way, so I bought a RetroN 5 this year and started importing a bunch of Super Famicom games I couldn't get as a kid in the US. I am pretty excited that Fantasian is on it's way though, and hopefully the new Power Rangers is good.

Re: Mini Review: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind (PS5) - A Short But Sweet Nostalgia Trip
I've already been looking forward to this, but it's extra cool to see another game that has real game overs
