My Most Anticipated Games of The Year Are Out!

Hey y’all. Stuck at home and don’t know what to do? Got some extra cash? Then I have some great news for you! Two of the most promising video games of the year were released in the last two weeks. Unless I am forgetting something obvious, Persona 5 Royal and Final Fantasy VII Remake are my mostly highly anticipated games coming this year and they’re both downloaded on my PS4. It’s a very exciting time.

Persona 5 Royal is an updated re-release of the 2017 (In the west) instant classic RPG about chilling with friends and stealing hearts. You play as a group of thieves that travel into the minds of villains and steal their “hearts” to make them good people. Well, better people at least. It’s a blast. The soundtrack is incredible, and the game is gorgeous. Royal is definitely the version to get, even if it will cost some extra money. There are so many quality of life updates and new activities. Plus, there’s an extra 20ish hours of story. I can’t vouch for the quality of that story, as I am only halfway through the game, but the teases thus far have my expectations sky high.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is the long-awaited remake of Final Fantasy VII. It’s all there in the title. As you can see from the trailer, this game is beautiful. It is retelling the story of the original game. Well, just the beginning of it. But the early section of Final Fantasy VII is definitely the best part of what is a very dull game. SO, why am I so excited, you may ask? Tetsuya Nomura. My guy is (Co-) running the show here. If you’ve read any of my posts about Kingdom Hearts, you can probably tell that I would follow Nomura into the deepest recesses of video game hell. The man has a vision, insanely talented teams, and the full backing of Square-Enix. Also, the demo (The first hour or so of the game) that was released last month was very fun and showed a game with a very high floor and astronomical potential. Go buy it if you can.
