i mean compared to other jrpgs in AA section that’s good. But probably doesn’t convince SE to make a new game

also from a different studio, not like our perfect flawless stelle

there is an imposter among us

game i want to play for sure in the first few months

• Chained Echoes
• Fantasian Neo Dimension
• Final Fantasy Tactics

as every year i play 1-2 Trails games, thought about the remake of the sky series, but i guess i rather go into daybreak first, so i don’t have to wait.

For new games i’m only exited for the new Fire Emblem game and maybe Lost Hellden

Sound like an nice journey through all games over the year

You probably right, that they got wrapped up in the studio’s narrative. I can’t for example understand how it get the awards for the best art direction, i think most of the enviroment is not to excited, i often get even lost in the dungeon because everything looks the same. But I’m also looking forward what Sandfall is doing next.

Clair Obscur Expédition 33: I’m struggling with it. I don’t like the dodge mechanic, it has way too much impact during battles, but I understand why people love it.

Octopath Traveller 2: I didn’t get very far, the gameplay loop felt too similar to the first game, the stories didn’t drag me in. Pretty though.

Get out of my head, seriously could be exactly my thoughts.

What’s your #1? Do i miss something?

I guess i start with my quite weak gaming year 2025 in comparison to my other years. My games were

• Ethernights
• Clair Obscure: Expedition 33
• Digimon Story Time Strangers
• The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie
• Octopath Traveler II
• A Hundret Line: Last Defense Academy
• 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
• Fire Emblem Engage (flier only)

I say it’s a weak year because i haven’t finished 3 games on this list, even though i want to. That’s all because of personal stuff, but i want to play more games 2026 again.

I can’t even say which is my favorite, Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is received a ridicilous amout of awards, but it think it’s hype is a bit annoying, because i think of it of a very good game, but not exceptional.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails into Reverie is not the strongest trails title for me. It’s again a good game in my opinion, but i expect more of the finish of act 1, but Trails of Cold Steel III/IV and Trails to Azure are better.

Maybe it will be A Hundret Line: Last Defense Academy, but haven’t finished it.

Digimon, maybe i was for sure the fastest i have finished because irl reasons and felt the best to play at the moment. Let’s say Digimon Story Time Strangers is my favorite because it was there at the best time to play it, not because it’s the best game.

Does the Garden of Sinners series count. I mean that’s all movies with the longest 120 minutes. But it’s kind of a very long series

that’s normal for me, i guess it’s even a bit more. enjoy

Some genres go hand in hand. Sometimes a game doesn’t belong to just one genreand maybe such games are the reason to look into in this case VNs. I haven’t played to much VNs, but since I played Digimon Survive, which is more VN than tactical rpg, I occasionally play a VN or at least look at upcoming

Do you do story only or all the side stuff as well? Because I played ff12, but was more focus on the story. But i know that haven’t seen all of the world.

I see it more as jrpg or tactical rpg but apperantly some here post about it, so i play currently a hundred line: last defense academy. But i’m just a few days after the demo, so i think day 11 or 12. While i like the story so fast i expect it to keep getting more excited the more days i play.

For me it’s short, i played maybe only a few hours A Hundret Line: Last Defense Academy, to eary to say much about it and i continue play it.

That’s good, wasn’t aware of that.

if you open the post you see the hashtag, i don’t know how it works, but a community post it’s name as hashtag with every post.

Anime style game really don’t need remaster in such a short time. Looks like a normal port. I like Berseria, it’s maybe a good version if you don’t own it already. Maybe remaster is just marketing

While Nihon Falcom generally finds it tricky to handle simultaneous global releases and Steam ports on its own, being a remake, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter presented the studio with a rare opportunity to commit to the endeavor. “We felt that if we didn’t do a simultaneous worldwide release now, then when would we ever do it?” That said, the workload involved was still quite challenging for Nihon Falcom. Thankfully, it seems to have paid off.

So does that mean we see more of them now?
