Here's where I'm at with RPGs at the moment:
RPGs I am currently working on:
Trails in the Sky-Been on the last dungeon for a while now, I want to finish this within the next couple months.
Etrian Odyssey V-This just launched and my progress has been interrupted by the recent drama. I'm on the boss of the second stratum and am having some difficulty with him. I want my advanced classes, though, so he needs to die.
RPGs I'm working on but have put-down for some time:
Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey- I bought a bunch of RPGs I'd missed for the DS at the end of last year and tried several of them out. I opted for Radiant Historia, in the end.
Radiant Historia- I'm near the end, I think, being on Final Chapter Alternate History, but I haven't played this in a couple of months now.
The World Ends with You- Same as with Strange Journery
Infinite Space- Same again
Persona 2 Eternal Punishment- I put this game down in May or June, suffering from MegaTen fatigue. I had just played many in a row. 75% through or so and I plan to return.
Bloodborne- I'm on the guy with a cage on his head. haven't tried him much but haven't played the game much recently either. I hope to get back to it at some point.
Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem- Last made progress about a year ago. I'm half-way or so through the first book
Fire Emblem Thracia 776- Last made progress about two years ago now. I had a traumatic experience with the Seti prison escape level and had to restart. I've done the first couple levels again but between cowardice and other games have not returned to re-do the prison levels.
RPGs I've put down recently that I might be done with:
Digital Devil Saga 2- I got through the stuff that was getting in the way of my enjoyment, i.e. I've gotten to the last dungeon and the story is no longer stealing my characters and getting in the way of my building them but I'm a bit exhausted with the game and the new possibility to play with all of my characters and create their builds, for which I was pushing through annoyance at the story, hasn't proven enough to maintain my interest at this point. Might not go back and finish it in the end.
RPGs I currently plan to play within the next year:
Dragon Quest XI- 2018 can't come soon enough and this better come soon enough in it!
Shin Megami Tensei- I plan to dig into this and the sequel starting this holiday.
Shin Megami Tensei II- See previous
Fire Emblem Mystery of the Emblem- I want to get back to work on my Fire Emblem obsession that I've let lie dormant.
Fire Emblem Thracia 776- See previous
Cosmic Star Heroine- Robert generously handed out those keys and I've been eyeing it for a while
Phantasy Star IV- My SEGA experience is woefully lacking and this is a cornerstone JRPG franchise I have yet to try
Trails in the Sky Second Chapter- I want to keep getting into this series
Final Fantasy IV- One of the major holes in my Final Fantasy experience I want to fill in. Getting the DS version for the enhanced ATB
(Edit: Forgot that FE and Octopath are 2018 too. Probably going to prioritize those too.)
Other RPGs on my back-catalog/wish list:
Ys VIII-I plan on getting this and trying modern Ys. I've played Ys I&II, tOiF, and Origin this past year. I really like the 2d games. I like the 3d ones but not as much. I've got mixed feelings about some of the things I hear about the most modern entries, but I hear VIII is great and better than Seven so...I'm planning on trying it soon.
Xanadu Next- Purchased and have played a little of it, not much.
Tokyo Xanadu- Want to try this one too.
Persona 1 & 2- I've acquired these for the PSP and want to play them some day.
Tactics Ogre- Same as Persona 1 & 2.
Final Fantasy XII- I plan on giving the PS4 version a try. I barely played the original but the word of mouth is good and I want to see what I missed. Plus Zodiac edition is supposed to be superior.
Suikoden II- Purchased this recently and want to try the franchise at some point.
Secret of Mana- I've had this game for a while but have yet to put much time into it.
A lot of classic CRPG- I got a bunch as a gift some years ago including a lot of fan favorites and genre innovators. I need to play them some day.
Divinty Original Sin- People were suggesting modern CRPG as a gateway, I'm thinking I might take them up on that suggestion with this game at some point. Hopefully sooner rather than later.
(Edit: Forgot I'm going to try Xenoblade 2 this winter as well).
Games I want to replay at some point:
Dragon Quest IV through VI, particularly VI
Final Fantasy V
