I've been bouncing between the old and the new lately. After seeing all the chatter about Chrono Cross and Lunar in this thread I dusted off my SNES and started another playthrough of Terranigma (that ending still gives me goosebumps). I'm also running Secret of Mana co‑op over netplay with a buddy – turns out spamming Sylphid is still the easiest way to break the game.
On the more recent front I've been slowly crawling through Baldur's Gate 3 when time permits. I'm still in Act I because I keep getting distracted by every barrel and side quest, but it's a blast so far. I also picked up a copy of FFXII Zodiac Age on sale and appreciate being able to speed things up; Gambits make my inner programmer very happy.
Anyone else revisiting the Quintet classics or playing something that scratches that retro itch? Always looking for more suggestions to add to my already ridiculous backlog. |

Ha, I’m starting to worry about myself too! Once I dusted off one Quintet game the rest jumped off the shelf and begged for attention. Maybe we need a support group for retro addicts – first step is admitting we still know all the notes to Terranigma’s ending theme.  |

It was a fun experiment while it lasted lol.
On topic, Ghost of Yotei has me in a chokehold. Hubs got it for me for our anniversary, and I've been playing it a lot. In my Dragon Age replay, hit Inquisition finally, though this is the long DA game. I'll be here for... uh, a lot of hours. _________________
