I kind of have a thing for RPGs.
Under normal circumstances, theres nothing wrong with this.
Thanks to so few good games in 2009, I got into kayaking.
I worry I’ll never have a chance to catch up before Infinite Wealth.
But the past few years have been neither normal nor unfortunate.
In 2022 alone, Square Enix launched 21 new games.
My point is, thats a lot of video games.
2024 is showing zero mercy.
Just take a look at February alone.
The long-awaited Granblue Fantasy: Relink rang in the month on February 1.
A day after Granblue came Persona 3 Reload, a remake of the seminal school-meets-save-the-world spectacle.
Put it on the backburner, I hear you cry, because FF7 Rebirth is a bigger deal?
Dear readers, no!
Which would actually be kind of funny.
But thats not the point.
Zooming out from February.
Hows the rest of the year looking for us role-playing gurus?
And I hate it.
For those keeping score at home, thats just eight days after FF7.
Capcoms Dragons Dogma 2 hits shelves on March 22, and it looks excellent.
I apologize to SaGa Emerald Beyond, I promise Ill buy you.
The remainder of 2024 will leave me breathless.
Metaphor: ReFantazio is a fantasy-tinted Persona.
Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail is the start of a new journey for my Warrior of Light.
Visions of Mana might well be another Square Enix success story.
But thats all right, damn it, because the rest will make up for it.
How much time will I have left for my other hobbies?
I dont have an answer to these questions.
I might not have much time to leave my post, AKA my living room couch.
But I just cant leave this arena.
Go easier on me in 2025, wont you, video games?
In my attempt to Nuzlocke every Pokemon game, Ive fallen at the first hurdle
