@chickenfillets video is great! I agree with all of the choices. FF8 will always be my favorite and has a special place in my heart! Keep up the great work! You earned a sub!
When I got the notification that you tagged me, I thought I was either gonna hear a mouthful of me not playing Final Fantasy or me never shutting up about Xenoblade 🤣 Great video John, and thanks for the shout-out! Xenoblade for life 🐻
@uppernimbus me too. Gonna replay Final Fantasy Remake and then Rebirth. Finishing Final Fantasy XVI now. Look forward to your content. Happy New Year Down Under!
Other than the Trails series I would love to play Xenoblade Chronicles I and II and Dragon Quest XI in 2025. I don't see myself revisiting games I've already finished other than maybe Unicorn Overlord.
Loved the focus on Switch this episode. Have to confess not really touched mine this year since getting Steam Deck. Fire Emblem 3 Houses was my 1st FE game and I only tried 1 route + DLC so well worth a replay. I abandoned Bravely 2 after like 25 hours in lol due to too much grinding but was tempted to rebuy on Steam as imagine it and some other HD2D would be beautiful there. Xenoblades is a great pick- I've played 1, 2, 3 + DLC but never X. 2 de-throned Zelda BOTW for me that year it was that good!
I player many Fire Emblem games and Three Houses is my favorite. I hope we get another one with that style of gameplay. I couldn’t finish engage. I’ll get to it eventually, but it didn’t get me excited
@ to their credit, they always like to try something different for Fire Emblem games. I understand that, but Three Houses really set a new bar. Besides Three Houses, I loved Path of Radiance and Awakening. I hope for either a Three Houses style game with or without the same world or a Path of Radiance remake next.
You know what I’d love to see is a sort of comprehensive syllabus of JRPG’s, maybe the top 50-100, starting with the early NES games and moving through the console generations. As Western games get progressively shittier, I’ve been thinking of revisiting this genre in 2025 and playing them almost exclusively.
I am 100% biased since it was litteraly my first game ever But Final Fantasy 8 is absolutely amazing! I love this game and i don't understand why so many people don't like it
Interesting as I never played Fire Emblem Three Houses, I finally played it in 2024. I did all four paths with 230 hours. I loved it. I have Final Fantasy VII Rebirth pre-ordered for my Steam Deck and I can't wait to play it. I'm currently playing Final Fantasy XVI on my Steam Deck and enjoying it. Thanks for the video.
I love that FF8 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are on this list as even though they are the black sheep of their respective franchises, they are my most favorite of them all.
Hey Jonh, yeah indeed, Fire Emble 3 houses and Lost Sphear are quite good, FFVIII, is good, not my favorite, but I will replay it someday and make more comment on it then! I am sure the others two are quite good, just still on my backlog!
Xenoblade 2, eh? A man of… ahem… culture. I played “I am setsuna” and “Oninaki” this year before they left PS Extra. Really liked setsuna and 100% it. Oninaki was interesting, but only an okay game. Lost Sphere drew the short straw and I didn’t get to it. Another time perhaps. I’ve got a list of backlog games to try/complete in 2025. I’m not planning on replaying any per se, but I’m looking to finish, Legend of Dragoon, ff7 rebirth, and octopath 2. Also I’m going back to ff16 to finish the hard mode and the new dlc
I guess Ni No Kuni, Dragon Quest XI S. I also intend to play through FFVIII for a trophy set and maybe revisit the Dark Cloud series. Those games were dope back in the PS2 days. :)
I really need to play a Fire Emblem game, what would you recommend as a starting point. Yup Bravely Default II is the best Final Fantasy since FFX. No dude! Don't do it to you! Not VIII! I can't get into Xenoblade, I might give it another chance. PS, Elvis has the best hat 😉
The only game from that list I’ve played is FFVIII 😂 I played the PC port published by EA though. I did not understand that the enemies levelled with me so I would grind and get frustrated that the game didn’t get easier 🤣
Lost sphear is great I started it and got side tracked by other games but always wanted to go back to it but I think I will need to start a new game as won't be able to remember where to go and what to do 🎮🤔🤣
What JRPG will you revisit in 2025?
I saw the Rinoa thumbnail and I just had to click it!
I hope the video didn't disappoint! Gotta love Rinoa and FFVIII!
@chickenfillets video is great! I agree with all of the choices. FF8 will always be my favorite and has a special place in my heart! Keep up the great work! You earned a sub!
@period3hues really appreciated!!! See you in the next video!

Love your channel. What JRPGs are you gonna revisit? I'm a subscriber of yours as well.
@@Matthew7772005 Thanks for the kind words! Looks like I'll finally be getting stuck into Final Fantasy in 2025 👀
@uppernimbus me too. Gonna replay Final Fantasy Remake and then Rebirth. Finishing Final Fantasy XVI now. Look forward to your content. Happy New Year Down Under!
@@Matthew7772005 That sounds fun, and thanks mate! Happy New Year right back at ya! 🥳

Oh good choices!!!!

Thank you! Ah that's a shame about Bravely Default II but no point slogging through it! Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is so goooood!
I player many Fire Emblem games and Three Houses is my favorite. I hope we get another one with that style of gameplay.
I couldn’t finish engage. I’ll get to it eventually, but it didn’t get me excited
Yeah I'd love one like three Houses again. I couldn't finish it. Found the story bland and characters annoyed me hahaha
@ to their credit, they always like to try something different for Fire Emblem games. I understand that, but Three Houses really set a new bar. Besides Three Houses, I loved Path of Radiance and Awakening. I hope for either a Three Houses style game with or without the same world or a Path of Radiance remake next.
Love all your content man. I think you are one of the very best video game commentators and I look forward to all your future videos.
Wow I really appreciate these kind words! It's always great to see you in the comments! 😀

Oh that's a really good idea!
I’ve been thinking about doing 3 houses again, but I’m not sure it’ll make the list in 2025 haha
Hahaha! Hopefully some point!
Cheers John, I don't plan on revisiting any new JRPGs in 2025. Too many other games I have to play. Happy New Year
Yeah the backlog is always an issue haha! Happy new year when it comes!
I am 100% biased since it was litteraly my first game ever
But Final Fantasy 8 is absolutely amazing! I love this game and i don't understand why so many people don't like it
It's immense FFVIII! Gotta love it!!!
That glorious buster sword in the background 👀
I need to pick up lost sphere
How many times have you restarted final fantasy VIII 🤣😂🤣
It's a tidy buster sword ;)
Many many times hahaha
Interesting as I never played Fire Emblem Three Houses, I finally played it in 2024. I did all four paths with 230 hours. I loved it. I have Final Fantasy VII Rebirth pre-ordered for my Steam Deck and I can't wait to play it. I'm currently playing Final Fantasy XVI on my Steam Deck and enjoying it. Thanks for the video.
Oh you got FFXVI working on the steam deck! The demo ran so bad for me
@chickenfillets turn off the tracking on 2nd screen when you start demo and game. It works great afterwards.
@Matthew7772005 amazing! Thank you!
@chickenfillets it took me forever to figure that out. It is so fun on Steam Deck.
I love that FF8 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 are on this list as even though they are the black sheep of their respective franchises, they are my most favorite of them all.
They are incredible games! Glad I'm not alone with it!
I'm not gonna revisit FF8 but FINALLY visit it for the first time next year! 😎👌🏽
You're gonna have some things to say about it trust me hahaha
*shocks* no Final Fantasy VII? 👀
There's always room for FFVII hahahaha
Love your channel and I'm a subscriber. Perfect comment. I know Right?
@Matthew7772005 thank you bud!!!

Hey man! Oh the backlog, always the ever growing problem haha
Xenoblade 2, eh? A man of… ahem… culture.
I played “I am setsuna” and “Oninaki” this year before they left PS Extra. Really liked setsuna and 100% it. Oninaki was interesting, but only an okay game. Lost Sphere drew the short straw and I didn’t get to it. Another time perhaps.

Hahaha 🤣😂
I am Setsuna is so good! Sounds like a good list of games to complete!
I guess Ni No Kuni, Dragon Quest XI S. I also intend to play through FFVIII for a trophy set and maybe revisit the Dark Cloud series. Those games were dope back in the PS2 days. :)
Ah Ni No Kuni!!! 2 is my favourite out of them!
I really need to play a Fire Emblem game, what would you recommend as a starting point.
Yup Bravely Default II is the best Final Fantasy since FFX.
No dude! Don't do it to you! Not VIII!
I can't get into Xenoblade, I might give it another chance.
PS, Elvis has the best hat 😉
I started off with Three Houses. I think you'd like that, that or Fire Emblem Awakening on the 3DS! Hahahaha Elvis does!
The only game from that list I’ve played is FFVIII 😂 I played the PC port published by EA though. I did not understand that the enemies levelled with me so I would grind and get frustrated that the game didn’t get easier 🤣
Yeah that was frustrating hahaha
high probability that i will revisit suikoden 1 & 2, tales of grace, and lunar in 2025, if you know what i mean 😏
😏😏😏
Lost sphear is great I started it and got side tracked by other games but always wanted to go back to it but I think I will need to start a new game as won't be able to remember where to go and what to do 🎮🤔🤣
Hahaha well if I play you gotta play it as well haha 😆
Please get new lighting to lvl up your channel
