Metaphor: ReFantazio, and probably some D4 when i want to play something more mindless.

I do hope we get back to more party based gameplay. I know we are likely not going back to turn based, I would like to see a wider cast of playable characters again. Also hope they put in some depth to their systems like crafting or loot compared to FF16. I did love 16 Combat and Story though

I know its a superficial thing, but that is great news, and makes me much more likely to try the game at launch.

Stellar Blade combat looks interesting and so does the world, however I'm not sure I'm going to be able to get past her hair constantly clipping through everything was driving me crazy watching gameplay demo. I'm interested in Outlaws, combat style isn't my typical game and that concerns me.

I have no background history with the original so alot of the story felt extremely random. I'm hopeful Rebirth and the 3rd game will make alot of things make more sense, but as of right now just felt kinda disjointed. Regardless I still am looking forward to playing Rebirth.

This is likely due to fact I have not played the original 7 Yakuza games so don't have as much connection to Kiryu and so kinda felt like was missing impact for half the story. The female characters in this game need more love going forward in series for job/class selections.

I hope they will get bugs fixed, and tune down alot of the stacking buffs that players can get that completely trivialize combat. Being able to burn down final boss of the game before first round of combat is over is ridiculous. Other fights were killed so fast game bugged out for quest NPC.

BG3, Spider-Man 2, Sea of Stars top 3 for me. For fourth I can't really decide between FF16, Jedi Survivors and Diablo 4. Haven't gotten around to Mario Wonder yet sadly, and haven't finished Warhammer Rogue Trader or that would like be in my top 4.
