Many of the games that I'm looking forward to now are the ones that were announced at the last Nintendo Direct. I never played any of the MGS or Batman games so I'm really looking forward to those and I'm pretty excited for Dragon Quest Monsters and Super Mario RPG as well.

I think my most anticipated game right now is probably Persona 5 Tactica as I'm excited for another spin off of my favorite game even if I'm not big on tactics games but even if I don't like it I know I'll get through it for the new Lyn songs. You might think I'm crazy for not looking forward to Persona 3 Reload more but I'm not a huge P3 fan in the first place and knowing it's supposed to be a faithful remake makes me feel mixed though I expect I'll probably love it regardless somehow.

The upcoming game I’m looking forward to the most for the rest of this year is Sea of Stars. It’s an indie game that’s heavily inspired by Chrono Trigger.

Right now the game that I'm looking forward to the most is Metaphor: ReFantazio. I'm fairly confident that this is going to be the next big groundbreaking RPG in the same way that Persona 5 was, especially since it's by the exact same people. This might end up being the only Playstation game that I play in 2024.

I'm looking forward to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. That game will no doubt be the best game ever made until the next one, which might be even better than any game for a long time. I really like FFVIIR.

I'm heavily looking forward to three games scheduled for this year. The first one, obviously, is Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, it's like the most hyped game out there and it will finally come to us in a few months.

I'm also expecting heavily the new entry in the Mario Party series, Super Mario Party Jamboree. The last two entries for the Switch weren't anything special, so my hopes are up for this one seeing how much time they took to develop it and make it fairly unique. Maybe one I'll get for Christmas, who knows.

The last one is Assetto Corsa Evo. I've been waiting too long for a good driving simulator after the tremendous failure of Project CARS 3 and I'm extremely curious about just how good this game can potentially be.

2024 is definitely ending on a bang with these massive hits, and what's already being cooked for 2025 isn't less amazing. I can't believe how I've been absent from any videogame news for like two years, only to see now a handful of games I would die to have in my library.

There's several games my hype is over 9000 for...

I'll try to go in release order so first up is College Football 25 I got into college football the year after the final NCAA Football was made so the entire time since 2014 I've been obessed with college football the game has been outdated. I've waited years hoping for the series return and to finally have a game with playoffs so no more missing a cyance to play for the natty because the game ranked a 11-2 at #2 instead of me at 12-1. But beyond that I'm probably more excited to play on the road at a Penn State whiteout game seeing there whiteout vs Ohio State left an impression on me I'll never forget how impressed I was at not only the commitment cause Ohio State fans suck at attempts for scarlet the shoe,blackouts,grayouts, etc... But also how loud the crowd was just watching on tv. I remember the next time I played Penn State at night in 14 being dissapointed the game didn't have the whiteout. All that said I'm still nervous for the game cause as much as the presentation looks awesome if the gameplay sucks it'll all be pointless.

Next we have Dragon Ball Sparking Zero a game I still can't believe is real I remember vividly getting a discord notifacation from vizzed clicking on it and seeing pokemon x say that budokai tenkaichi 4 was announced and then panicing while searching on youtube cause I was in shock. I'll always say Budokai 3 was better than BT3 BUT man Sparking Zero looks so good I can't put it into words properly.

Next we have Metaphor Re:Fantazio or something like that, which new game from the people who made my top 2 games of all time sign me up.

Right now there are two games that I'm really looking forward to. The first is Pokemon Legends Z-A. Now that I saw the new gameplay stuff a few days ago, I'm really excited with things like how the city operates and how the wild zones are because a lot of complaints I've seen since the announcement was how do you get enough wild Pokemon in just a city. Now I'm even more excited.

The other game is the Persona 4 Remake, whenever that comes out. Persona 4 Golden is still one of the most influential games of my life, so I know I'm going to play it and love it.

Well, I'm looking forward to Final Fantasy VII Part 3 (Idk the name yet lol), it is supposed to be coming out in 2028, but that is saying it's not delayed, and also, probably will come to PC a year after it releases on PS6, so if it also gets delayed, then 2030.

I'm looking forward to the PS4 versions of the Re;Birth games in the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise, I've wanted to get a physical copy of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 for a long time and the PS4 version that will be released this year is a good opportunity for that. Nowadays one can maaaybe get the PS Vita version for a high price, but the PS4 version should be a better choice (easier to get and cheaper).

I may also get Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 3 for PS4.

I'm not really looking forward to any games right now to be honest. I think the new Pokemon Legends game is the only game I'm anticipating buying at launch, but I haven't even finished Legends Arceus, so I should probably get on that first.

One game that I'm really looking forward to from the Switch 2 Direct is The Duskbloods. I haven't gotten too far into Elden Ring but I was really impressed by the trailer for this and want to pick it up when I get my Switch 2.

I hadn't realized it till now but the only game I can think of that might release sometime soon cause I've given up hope of KH4 anytime soon would have to be Persona 4 Revival hopefully we get some more info on that soon and we should with it being Persona's 30th anniversary year. Hoping for some game announcements soon since there's not much I'm excited for but I know how quickly that could change with so many anniversaries this year.

Mainly Persona 4 Revival. I love P4 Golden and really look forward to any upgrades or visual enhancements they might include. I do hope they include the Golden content, as it's quite interlinked with the story. I hope they give my boy Kanji some love as well and make him even better.

Beyond that there aren't any particular games on my list. I'm hopeful for a new Ace Attorney game but I've learned to stop expecting anything.

At the moment I have a quite a few, for the first time in a LONG time! Instead of being a partial andy I'll actually rank them too, top to bottom:

1. I am VERY HYPE for the new Xenoblade: Genesis that was announced. I'm a pretty big Xeno head and very thoroughly enjoyed my recent series playthrough, starting with Xenogears. I finished XB3 not too long ago and it's pretty damn hype that the next game is announced not long after! I'm torn between wanting some more Saga callbacks (as 3 DLC very strongly suggested) versus hoping it's an entirely new story, completely disconnected from everything else.


2. I'm *pretty hype* for Final Fantasy VII: Revelation! Although I like Remake WAYYYY more than I like Rebirth, I do still really like Rebirth and I hope we can see more of what did make that game so good in Revelation, while maybe toning down the required "side" content a bit. I'm very excited to see how they're possibly going to conclude this story.


3. I am cautiously excited for Final Fantasy XIV: Evercold. Unfortunately I was not really a big fan of a lot of changes that happened during Dawntrail, so I've been on a pretty extended break from the game and decided I'd just be back for 8.0. The story beats don't really bother me so much, I have no problem skipping cutscenes if it's that boring, but I HATED the job changes that made every job monotonous to play. However, they seem to be directly addressing that, so I'm willing to give them another shot. I do really like Dawntrail content at least, so I hope it stays at that quality, too.


4. As Furret above, I'm really looking forward to Persona 4 Revival. Out of the three Persona games that I've played, 4 is by far my favorite. Upon it's reveal I really didn't think the game needed a remake, but after the recent showcase they did and comparing it to what Golden looks like... yeah, it was about that time lol. I wouldn't say I'm HYPE for it, but I'll for sure be there, maybe the first time it goes on sale or something.


5. I think the final one I'll mention here will be Pokemon Wind and Waves. Everyone is probably pretty well aware of the dip in quality that Pokemon has been experiencing for a few generations now - I don't really think Gen 10 will be much of an exception, but the trailer did look promising! And also, it's Pokemon. I'm not going in expecting some masterpiece of gaming - I'm going in expecting Pokemon lol, and whether the game is really good or laughably bad, that's what I'll get. Coming from someone who likes Sword and Shield more than the average person, I think.

Two more, Atelier Karia and Dragon Ball Xenoverse 3, I am also looking forward to BUT am waiting on more details to really determine "how" hype I am, or if I'm even going to get them at all, so I don't really have comments for them as of right now. Totally not saving them for a post later on!
