Finished FF16 a few days ago, and have meanwhile been playing FF4 on the side, which I’ll continue. Otherwise have started Trails of Cold Steel 2 so am finally continuing the series. Lastly, will start MGS 5 on my Steam Deck - I’ve sporadically played it on PS5 for a few days, but it feels like a good handheld game to me.
Yesss! Would’ve loved a remaster - but this will do. Tomba (fun it was named Tombi here in Denmark - and rest of Europe maybe?), was one of the first ever games I ever saw as a child. Looking forward to this.
@Nyne11Tyme haha yeah - well I guess these 5 are many people’s favourites 6 could be higher - but actually never finished it - hopefully I get to it during the Pixel Remasters some time.
My top 5 are 7, 9, 10, 6 and 4 in that order. Am about halfway through 16 according to my PS5 stats, so will see when I finish it - but so far loving it. I’m really annoyed though why there’s no in game clock - which I don’t think I’ve ever experienced in a FF game.
Tbh I thought if this is like Persona, just without the modern day setting, I actually might prefer this over “traditional” Person. Am excited to see more.
Zelda for the majority of my playtime. It’s been so long since I’ve played a game this addictive. Also for me the game seems more focused and has more story than BOTW which I highly appreciate. On PS5, Mortal Kombat 11 the story seems very cool and fun, although I’m very bad at fighting games.
Would like a release date for Suikoden remasters - but also some more info/trailer about the Eiyuden Chronicles game. Additionally, anything Legend of Heroes related I’ll happily take!
I would like to hear more about the Little Devil Inside Game - it’s practically been silent since it was shown at a PS showcase a few years ago now.
Finished Trails to Azure earlier this week (currently my GOTY), so now playing Zelda most likely until FFXVI comes out next month. Might play some FFI Remaster here and there as I’m close to the end. Just need to grind a bit now.
At the final chapter of Trails to Azure, which I hope to finish during the weekend before taking some slight gaming break before the new Zelda. So far I think this is my current game of the year, it’s amazing.
At first opted out, but will play from the beginning on Switch. Played the Vita version last year but never finished the first few games. With the accessibility features, I think I’ll finally be able to get through them all. Espcially first game I’ll see as a “podcast” game when replaying.
Megaman Battle Network 5, which is a nice nostalgia trip from childhood. And Trails to Azure after which I’ll finally be able to continue the series chronologically again.
@AFCC on PS4/PS5 there’s the Trails of Cold Steel saga - in total 4 here in the west. You could start with cold steel 1 - but last year Trails from Zero was released. It’s the prequel to this game, Azure. IMO you’d get more out of playing Zero before this. I myself started with Trails in the Sky (not on PS4/5) and have only played Cold Steel 1 of that saga. Hope makes some sense, is a tricky series to get into - but it’s wonderful.
@thefourfoldroot1 Stein’s Gate is quite daunting, but for me really worth it in the end! It’s a slow burn, but a good one. Game has several endings, which I didn’t see all of. The anime is really good adaptation too, which I watched after the game.
Too late for my time zone, but also don’t like all the talking and padding that usually happens during these shows. So, will watch afterwards and fast forward.
Still too early for me to say. Have been amazing so far, then I came to the Lost Sanctuary quest which for me is a drag. I hope there won’t be many more of these quests.
Replayed the last one for the second time and finished it yesterday, and jumped straight into Ragnarok. Have played an hour and then some today and what a ride so far! And even better playing during dark, Danish November day.
Played it first in 2018 but on off due to my studies; which probably was why I didn’t understand the praise for it back then, albeit I was thought it was very good. But now replaying it on PS5, and is truly special - there’s some special quality to it I find lacking in most games nowadays.
Just started my 2nd playthrough of the previous GoW on PS5. While I thought it was great back in 2018, I never saw the hype for it, I’m interested if my opinion will change this time. So far, it plays really great on the PS5 with the 60FPS just an extra bonus.
@johnny30 @johnny30 ahhh okay - gotcha, I’ve heard that about CS2 and Azure. By the time I’m done with Zero - I’ll prob need a longer break , then I’ll prob play Trails Sky 3 since I have the opportunity for that and then azure before following the games as released as well.
@colonelkilgore from a novice’s perception, I started with the Trails in the Sky 1 and then the second game. I skipped the 3rd game since I haven’t had the possibility to play it until now. So skipped into playing m Cold Steel 1. Am now playing Trails from Zero, which technically takes place before CS1 (/events in CS1 would “spoil” Zero). For me jumping around the “correct” way hasn’t been a problem at all - the biggest hike would be the callbacks to old games + old characters coming into newer games, but it is not a major distraction for me. I would personally start with Trails in the Sky 1 (I played on a PSP emulator with speed up which helps a lot) and see if you even like these games / world, characters etc. Conversely start, with Cold Steel 1 since it’s the beginning of a new arc in the universe. It’s a difficult series to get into for many I would say, but JRPGs are my favourite games + I love the expanded universe of these games.
@ShogunRok thanks - yeah, agree about the lack of necessity to play in chronological. But currently going through Zero and will probably need a break from Legend of Heroes Games after finishing this one. But Zero so far, very good.
Really enjoying trails from Zero so far. It has a charm and hook I don’t find in other games at the moment. I played Cold Steel 1 before this, and while Zero technically takes place before, it hasn’t been a problem for me. Would playing Cold Steel 2 before Azure be “ok”? I’ve also not played Trails in the Sky 3 yet, so might play that before Azure comes out.
@Voltan would make good sense since we practically call it ‘Odin’s Day’, slightly moderated, here in Scandinavia . Would’ve been nice for game coming on a Friday though.
Dunno how or why but I was able to download the PS5 version straight from the store without having to pay anything. I had the PS4 version already installed, but will see if I’m actually able to play the new version upon release.

Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?

I’ll keep a lookout for this title.
