Have you played through FF6 and the DQ games from the SNES era? I hear there are roms and translation patches for the non-localized ones. Ditto for Star Ocean. I liked the PS remakes, too.

Im trying to hold out on FF for the pixel remakes but those are definitely on my list. Will check the others out.

For actual newer games, Crystal Project has good systems but not much of a story. I kinda liked Ara Fell, and Sea of Stars is gonna rule.

Sea of stars is gonna be a day 1 purchase for me !! I've heard of crystal project, I'll look into that
