The plan is to get through as many of the games as possible. To make this a bit easier, I'm not counting games that I want to buy, but haven't yet. The list is thus pared down to the following:
- I Am Setsuna (PC)
- Chrono Cross (PS1)
- Final Fantasy 4 (PS1)
- Dark Cloud 1 (PS2)
- Fossil Fighters Frontier (3DS)
- Etrian Odyssey 4 (3DS)
To make things go faster, I'm trying very hard to not be my usual self. This means saving my typical completionism and as much other grindy activity as possible for later. I already know that Chrono Cross will be made a lot harder by not grinding, due to how it hands out random stat boosts periodically in lieu of traditional level-ups.
Some of the titles in that list are in the situation where I started playing them a long time ago, but forget the story, where I was, and where I was going; thus in those games I'll be starting over from the beginning.
The more observant of you may notice that this gaming project also involves finishing two of my most procrastinated gaming projects: Chrono Fever and Project 'Bout Fuckin' Time. Gotta get it done.
Unlike what I did with Rogue Galaxy, there won't be session posts for these games. In fact, if I post anything, it's generally going to be a tweet or two. I do plan on doing overarching summary posts, though, so stay tuned for those.
Also, the end of the summer doesn't necessarily mean I'm just going to stop playing. I'll likely still continue, the whole "Summer of RPGs" label is just a nice way for me to try and remain focused on the task at hand.
Because I've gotten a fair distance into I Am Setsuna, there will probably be one of those "overarching summary posts" coming up soon, so stay tuned.
