I just started the Valkyria Chronicles. I normally shy away from turn based strategy games because I find them unexciting -- sort of like tower defense games... But this one has an interesting style... Kind of a blend between X-COM and a Third Person shooter. Looks like it will be fun to play.
And the art style is well done as well.
Yeah, it is. It's a different graphics engine -- I'll have to look it up again. But it does an excellent job with the animations.

Did you see that 9 has been announced? Just not released yet.
-
I'm anxious for FF 1, 2, 10 and 12 now. Those are the last ones that I care about now that 9 has been announced. 1 & 2 are more of "it would be nice" as I have them several places already. But 10 & 12 I would really like on PC instead of PS2.
-
Just bought the entire Thief series as well.

@coliver I heard Path of Exile is like Diablo series but I can't compare them because I've only played PoE. I can compare it to Titan Quest which is almost the same but different but still the same lol.

Path of Exile is being developed by a group of former Blizzard developers who worked on by Diablo and Diablo 2. From my understanding it is the spiritual successor to Diablo 2 in almost every way. It plays identically but with some nice and needed improvements. One of the most surprising things, for me, is that the play style is significantly different then Diablo 3.

Which Final Fantasy 2? The Japanese version or the American Version (which is actually Final Fantasy 4 if you go by the Japanese numbering, lol).
I'm a Final Fantasy addict... the only ones I haven't played that I'm aware of are 11 & 14, the online ones.

I don't recognize the American numbers as a thing. Those were flat out lies and only existed for a brief period in the 1990s. Since the SNES cartridge era, no one has used the old NA numbering. Even by the GBA era, the real releases were back.
Since FF 3, 4, 4-2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 (announced), 11, 13, 13-2, 13-3 and 14 have all been released, there isn't any possibility of using the NA numbering.

Yes, I (and many others) don't recognize those as FF releases. 11 & 14 are a different series that just coopts the numbering sequence of the real series. Those are the only two that I do not own (but I would like to consolidate all of the others onto the PC.)
I own both the originals and the remakes of, I think, every game that they have. I have 1-13 all in their original form and 1-6 in their remake forms (DS, 3DS and PC). And looking forward to the 7 remake.
-
I partially "double buy" the FF series in the hopes that it will encourage Square Enix to invest in releasing the Dragon Quest series on PC as well. Especially 6-9.

That's a series I gotta go back and play again, lol.
And I stand corrected -- I didn't realize there were more additions to Final Fantasy 13... I've only played the original one that shipped on the XB360... Are 13-2 and 13-3 available on PC?
I have FF 1-6 on Emulators (NES & SNES), I won 7-9 for PS1, 10, 10-2, 12, and 12-2 on PS2, and 13 on XB360.
I do have an FF1 NES cartridge with sleeve and instruction book in relatively good shape.

You bet they are AND they are on sale RIGHT NOW on the Square Enix publisher's weekend. FF13 is $8. FF13-2 and FF13-3 are $10 each. FF13-2 has been available since forever. But 13-3 released like eight weeks ago, so that is very new.
-
FF4 and FF4-2 are both on Steam as well.
Missing from Steam that I know of are 1, 2, 10 and 10-2. And that weird FF7 TPS entry. I have that on PS2 only.
-
Steam has the new FF Type-0 too. I don't have that one yet, it's one of the ancillary series.
