Just started Chrono Trigger, already see why some consider it a masterpiece.
You're in for a ride. The only JRPG I actually enjoyed replaying. The music is SUCH a fucking banger!
Once you met all party members, tell me who your main trio is (I feel like who your first CT party was is like some kind of Rorschach test that tells about people's personalities lol)
Me playing;
Replaying Elden Ring because around this time last year it released and I felt the itch again. Apparently I like the early-mid game WAY more now because ij the last ~weeks I had more fun making 4 new characters with different builds than finishing it once. When I reached the Mountaintop of Giants and beat the fire giant I stopped enjoying it and started over.
Tried out the 3 hour demo on steam of Octopath Traveler 2. I actually bought the first one and while gameplay and presentation were superb, the story and characters were just such a genereic6 square jrpg slop that I couldn't care less which made other games way more attractive and I dropped it after not even 20 hours. The demo however got me hooked. I pondered probably 20 minutes of which character to choose because several seemed appealing. I finally decided on the cleric/inquisitor guy and his story was so gripping I'd love to actually see where it leads to. Met one other character whose story also was pretty neat and then the 3 hours were over.
Not paying 60 coins for it but definitely wishlisted.
Then Symphony of War: Nepheliim Saga went on sale on Steam and I grabbed it. I'm a small fan of the GBA fire emblems and I really like advance wars so once a year I get an itch for theyr tactics games. Modern FE is really not my type so I was happy to try this one and depsite some UI jank it feels like FE+.CCurrently at chapter 4 only but so far I've been having a blast.
Lastly I finally found a group of 5 online friends to play Barotrauma with. With the announcement of 1.0 dropping soon it got back on our radar (or rather sonar haha get it? get it? it's joke because submarines use sonars! haha) and we now have a weekly session every Thursday evening. 4-7 players are probably the optimal player count to enjoy it with.
thank you for your attention
