It just dawned on me that all this reveal did was confirm it still existed, and it's multiplatform.

I always considered them Japanese ARPG's, but was never really hung up on the genre thing.

It’s a JRPG, imo. I know it probably comes across as a little corny but if it’s not a JRPG, it’s a “Souls” game. I think the genre is popular enough that it spawned its own genre similar to Metroidvania.

I wonder if we’ll get some DQ III news at the Nintendo Direct. I wish we’d get a port for DQ VIII also.

Idk, I just call them RPGs for the most part. Trying to decipher between all the terminologies is just whatever to me. Only categories I would maybe use are "Turn-Based," "Action," and/or "Strategy."
More than likely, I'd say something is "like" or "esque." Ex: Sea of Stars is like Chrono Trigger or Chrono Trigger-esque.

I’ve been playing Legend of Dragoon for the first time. It’s not bad by any means but it’s showing just how special Final Fantasy IX is. I believe they both released in 2000. So far, LoD is really basic.

Finally time for me to really see what Dragon Quest mainline is about (played DQM on GameBoy years ago).

The cruelty of life is that I wanted all of this to happen for the last 15 years, with rereleases of the best games of my childhood and ones I missed due to system/timeframe. They finally all start pouring out in what amounts to the least free-time I have ever had in my life. 
Day one, add it to the backlog. Happy to pay full price for something like this.
I mean, to be fair, you are comparing it to one of the greatest games of all time.
You aren't wrong, though. I have always seen it as a relief playing something so straightforward. It was part of it's charm to me.

You’re right. I didn’t expect it to be as good as FF IX but after releasing behind FF VII and VIII and other countless JRPGs, I was surprised. It’s just little stuff I noticed like when your character attacks an enemy and hits for 21 dmg, he’s going to hit for the same dmg every time. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen that beforeI mean, to be fair, you are comparing it to one of the greatest games of all time.

I just got my Dragoon form and linked with Rose so we’ll see where it goes from here.

Just beat P3 Reload. It was a fun, long ride. I finally get why many believe that is the game that made Persona the series we know today. I always equated this game to FFIV, Persona 4 to FFVI, and Persona 5 as FFVII for Atlus based on other's opinions and comments. I agree even more now. Wish I would've had the patience to play the original back in 2007, but I was just graduating high school and always in the streets like most teenagers lol.
Going to pallet cleanse with Crisis Core and other shorter games I've been wanting to beat. Not touching anything Atlus again until Metaphor possibly early next year. These 100+ hour RPGs are grueling. I think I'll do one a year going forward. Granted, I like exploring everything, so I guess part of it is on me.

I thought this game was never coming out. Looking forward to adding another tactics-like rpg to the collection.

3rd party remake
I could go either way on this honestly.
Could be terrible, or could be great. Just want a confirmation and announcement.
I stopped VII Rebirth to replay Fallout4 after the Amazon series came out. Just finishing it now with a few hours left of DLC, so will hop back to Rebirth right after.
I chuckle thinking back a few years when I wondered, "How can they make VII in parts? There isnt enough content!"

The area intel objectives with Chadley is probably the most innovative thing SE has done with the series since the gambit system in XII. It adds so much more content and promotes exploration, something Remake and XV as well was missing. It’s the best part of the game imo.
As for IX remake I feel like it got the green light over VI (or III for the nerds) because it’s a safer story to tell. Last thing we need in today’s climate is video game with a tyrant that successfully nukes the whole world.

I don’t think it’s that deep. I feel like VI is just as beloved as VII for a lot of folks. I don’t know if you get away with doing an HD-2D or cheaper style remake for VI. A VII style remake for VI would be insane. One thing that I love about VII Remake/Rebirth is how well they flesh out the characters. VI has 14 playable characters. The only stories you could probably skimp out on is Umaro and maybe Gogo.

IX and Tactics? I will drop everything for these two games. I CANNOT wait.
