You'll have a lot of dumb luck! (Badam tish!)
 
No idea how I found out, but 5 of the 6 original Final Fantasy rereleases are on Game Pass. Thanks to Octopath Traveler, Sea of Stars and other RPGs I've played lately I've gained a new appreciation for them. I have the FF collection on my wish list, but This is a good way to give them a shot and see if they're worth the purchase. Started playing FF1 Yesterday and I'm hooked! Definitely doesn't hold your hand, you have to talk to EVERYONE and take notes lol. You have to remember all the little clues they give you, no quest log in this one. I also like that you can turn random encounters on and off. I was stuck in a cave and had my entire party die twice. I turned off encounters to make it back to town, rest up and buy supplies. I think I'll grind a bit before going back down. I'm pretty excited about making my way through these.
 
Ok, I am officially all in on Final Fantasy LOL. I do occasionally turn off random encounters just to be able to walk more than 3 steps at a time, but aside from that I'm digging it. A LOT. Already placed the Earth Stone. Hell, I beat the Vampire in one round before he could get a hit in. I think I'll grind a tad to afford the Knight Armor and spells from level 1 through 5. Haven't found level 6 or 7 spells yet.
I wasn't too happy having to name every single member of the party, but quickly went with Trevor, Simon, Sypha and Alucard lol.
 
So far I've completed 1-10, 12, 15, 16, Tactics (including sequels like X-2, Revenant Wings or The After Years), the entire Compilation of FFVII, VII Remake, Rebirth and of course FFXIV. I own the XIII trilogy, but I'm honestly not in any rush to try them out. I don't even mind the setting, their linearity or the gameplay. I'm just not a fan of Hamauzu as a composer and a game's musical identity is pretty important to me. I'll probably start XI within the next couple of months. Wanna be finished with the main stories before Evercold launches.

As far as non-FF games are concerned: I recently played Okami for the first time and absolutely hated it. The music might be the only redeeming feature. What a waste of time. Started Twilight Princess HD last week and I'm having a blast. It's my favorite game of all time, but I wasn't sure if it would still hold up. It absolutely does. Funnily enough, a few days after I started Dusk, the decompiled PC version, launched. That will probably be the next version of the game that I'll play when I decide to revisit it.

In other news: The remake for Star Fox 64 got revealed and it looks phenomenal. Really looking forward to it. If rumours are to be believed Ocarina Of Time is going to be remade and release this year. If Star Fox is anything to go by, this will be absolutely brilliant.
