2023 Plans/Goals
Here is a link to my 2022 version of this list. I did a pretty bad job of actually going through it! I played 12 out of 23 and only completed 3 of them! Some of those are carrying over and some are new. Maybe this year will be better!
15 Games
this is it, this is the year i'm finally gonna play past the first hour of this game. i'm gonna get that body down from that tree. i swear.
accepting recommendations for which version of this to play because I have no clue what the definitive or best version is (if there even is one) and will probably just default to the Steam version otherwise
I feel like a fake trans for not having played this (or most of npckc's other games) yet
I played through four of the base campaigns but they added several more and I'd like to see those through!!
I played the prologue/demo in 2021, was excited for the game, bought it on release, and halfway thru the re-playing the prologue I found out that Kate's new girlfriend gets fridged and I lost a lot of interest in the game! But I still want to play it because I feel guilty about buying it and not playing it and I do really like this series!
No one has directly recommended this too me but twitter blowing up about it seems to make me think I would like it a lot.
i want to smooch historical Kiryu
This isn't out yet and has already been delayed for over a year but I'm hopeful it'll be out this year!!!
This had a 2022 release date and has been delayed indefinitely so I am using this as an opportunity to will its release into existence. Manifesting or whatever.

It's been up there this long, I'm sure it can wait a while longer, it's fiiiine
Saluting every syberia fan who is going back after 3 lmao, which will include me someday certainly
I recommend the SNES version of FFVI, and if you want you can patch it to be GBA translation but I think both are good
Yeah the big problem with VI is there are many competing fan translations that mostly work off of making changes to either the GBA or the SNES scripts and there isn’t REALLY a right or wrong way to go for those. The GBA version itself has deeply compromised sound and visuals compared to the SNES version because it can’t replicate the sound or colors of the console properly but the script is not the problem. General idea is that SNES is a looser and more energetic script but the GBA is more true to the original text. Both have their merits.
Personally I think just the straight up SNES version is fine and the easiest way to go if you just wanna go.
IF you wanna try a romhack then I think the currently accepted translation-based one is the Revised Old Style Edition which aims to synthesize what the authors believed to be the strengths of both versions of the script and other fan TLs. It also works in all the big bug fixes from other popular versions of the game. People seem really enthusiastic about it in what I’m sure you can tell is a usually divided community lol.
PERSONALLY I would not recommend the version on steam; with completely redone graphics and a fully orchestrated soundtrack that has fully replaced the original, along with other smaller changes I think those are decent versions of the games but not like, The Games, really different AV experiences ultimately. HOWEVER many people really like them so if you like the look and sound of it just do that one, the actual game part is basically the same in every version

The version of VI on Steam is just way too ugly for me to recommend 😔
