Chrono Trigger is my all time favorite game. I have Mitsuda's symphonic arrangement album that was released a few years ago. Owned it on SNES, PSX, DS and Steam. It or FFV is next up on my Steam 'finally finish up' list.Have you ever played Chrono Trigger?
On the more recent side, it sounds like you're an excellent candidate for 'Sea of Stars'.
Octopath Traveller 1 and 2 are also excellent, although they're obscenely expensive and never go on a decent sale for some reason.

I only dabbled with Dragoon back in the day, I've been waiting for the fan PC port to be fully completed before sitting down to finish it. They're adding a bunch of QoL features, and some stuff like 60fps support is being worked on;Chrono Trigger is also MY all time favourite game!

Sea of Stars gets better, but you need to wade in to it a bit more for it to grab you.
OT2 is MUCH better than OT1 for sure, although 1 still has it's charms. Buiit I can see your point on it feeling a bit dull early on. It takes a long while to hit it's stride.
Certainly some good games in that list. The SNES list of JRPG's really are the best.
Legend of Dragoon for PS1 is also an excellent game to add to the list.
You've been very quiet about Veilguard... Interesting... feel free to comment in the relevant thread if you likeI'm still playing Helldivers 2 for my shoot-em-up fix. Single player go-to has been Dragon Age Veilguard since launch, but I fired up The Talos Principle II last night and got hooked. I remember really enjoying the first one too.
Not much to add to what's already been said. So far I like the combat and general story line but the conversations don't stand up in comparison to previous DA entries. 7/10.You've been very quiet about Veilguard... Interesting... feel free to comment in the relevant thread if you like![]()
