I set myself a target of beating the first Suikoden game in the HD remaster collection before FFVIIRI comes out on Switch 2.

It turns out it's relatively short for a JRPG, and I finished it before (and slightly during) work this morning.

I had a good time. Looking forward to the sequel.

Fuck, alright. This year will be my RPG year ig. FFVIIRI and Rebirth, DQVIIR, DQ I-II HD-2D, DQXI Replay, and as much DQ stuff as I can load on my 3DS. Maybe I'll even toss Chrono Trigger in there, why not? Might even finally go through the Mario RPG and TTYD remakes on Switch.

I didn't even consider trying RE4R on Steam Deck cuz I thought it would run like crap (particularly after my experience with FFVIIRI) but there's a ton of guides for getting it fully optimized and Valve even did specific patches for it? I'm gonna give it a solid go and see how well it runs.

It’ll def be after FFVIIRI but when I get around to it I will be dedicating myself exclusively to it.

Something I hadn’t quite realized with my catch up with the Resident Evil games is that I need to hurry up more than I thought cuz FFVIIRI Switch 2 is releasing this month and I wanna at least dedicate some time to that…

Knowing that it has a reversible cover and there was genuinely no way for the game to fit in a real cartridge makes me feel slightly less upset about FFVIIRI being on a GKC. Will it be enough to preorder? Only time will tell (Probs not)
