Elden Ring.
I don't know why I get souls games, I've only ever beat Demon Souls. I hate timing games but I end up getting every souls game anyways.
On the subject of FF.
I love all of them but FF7, FF8, and FF9 will all hold a personal place in my heart because they hit right in my preteen/early teenage years that helped define what kind of media I liked.
I personally think FF8 is my overall favorite because it was the first one I ever finished. I had 7 earlier but I was too young to understand how to play it at the time. I know there is a whole helluva lot wrong with 8, but I still love it, flaws and all. I spent so much time defending 8 from 7 fans that for awhile I pretended I hated 7.
Of the new ones I've played ten, and fifteen and ff7 remake. Ten is also a classic. If you can get past the awful synching and sometimes the awful dialogue used to try and synch with the character's mouth movements it is an underrated gem.
Fifteen is a bro story so some female gamers didn't like it. But I enjoyed it. The story is kind of meh, but the overall theme of brotherhood is captured perfectly. To me that was more impactful than the story.
FFVII Remake when it is complete will be one of the best in the franchise. It's not really a remake in the traditional sense but it somehow manages to capture all that was cool in the original without it feeling like an exact retread. I loved the first chapter of it and any fan of the original should play it.
I hope the same kind of treatment can be done with six in the future.
