I'm really enjoying witcher, but I can only play a few hours (3-9) per week, the game is just feeling so overwhelming right now. Might need to switch to something else.. not sure.

Stick with the Witcher, I am in the same boat I only play on my PS4 a few nights a week when the kids have gone to bed, don't worry so much about the ? all over the map just do your main/side quests and get the ? that are close by (200 yards tops for me). Put it on the hardest level (not hard at all) to make the game more interesting and less minding numbing smash square over and over. It does get tough in Novigrad so much walking and talking and not a lot of fights, but if you break it up with gwent and witcher contracts it makes it more barable

I finally got around to playing Valkyria Chronicles. I just wanted to say I really enjoyed it. I never even looked at what the combat was like, but when I played it and found out its more like Xcom (light of course) it turned out to be the perfect game to help me deal with the wait till the 5th. This was a surprise to me.
The English VA is passable if you are not into subtitles - but you can use the Japanese if you prefer. The things it does differently vs say xcom is that movement and action are not locked in order, you can move + act or move + act + move or act+move as well as no tiles - its all free movement as far as you can get. Additionally it uses an action point system, which when you use the same unit more than once per turn their subsequent actions have limited movement points. It has 5 classes, +tanks, limited cover and I was compelled to play through the story. It has an enormous postgame/newgame + aspect, but that's not really my thing.
Anyways figure if anyone has ever been wishy washy about it, its pretty good stuff. I felt it held up really well on PC.

More on Disgaea.
some before/after screens from the PR guy showing off the port
I thought the text did look cleaner.
Sprites do look iffy. Poor upscaling. Blurry.
Someone linked this in the comments, and I'll be damned if that doesn't seem legit to my uninformed eyes.

Couple of note to me.
Phantasy Star II and IV - These games are awesome, but keep in mind they were on the Sega Genesis. It's a sci-fi version on Final Fantasy (PS1 and FF1 were released one day apart originally) with a good story. Also PS2 has one of the first 'permanent death' scenarios of a character, an Aeris moment if you will. These are my two favorite RPGs of all time. Phantasy Star 3 is still very good, but a lot of people hated it, it's called the bastard child of the series. If it's cheap enough, I'd try these out (if old school RPGs are your thing).
Shining Force I and II - Classic strategy RPGs. I thought these games were awesome. Again, Genesis titles, so keep that in mind. Games had more of a 'permanent' type of cast, unlike FFT where you could level up grunts. I could be remembering wrong though.
Y's series - these games are great. You play as one character, Adol, so it's not so traditional in that since - combat is a little more 'actiony' and I put that in quotes because it's not really action.

The Shining Force games were awesome. Didn't even realize they had a PC port. I remember playing Grandia 2 way back when and being underwhelmed by it.
The Last Remnant is a great game. Got a few bugs but I put over 200 hours into that game. 150ish on just one playthrough trying to 100% it.

I loved WildArms 1 and am enjoying the remake but imo it has not added much to the experience - but I haven't gotten much into it. I had a hard time getting into WA2 but am starting again and it has gotten better once I trudged past the first bit. WA3 was great and had lots of link to in the orig WA game. 4 was okay but like 2 orig, I haven't been able to get into it quickly as of yet.

Wild Arms 3 and Grandia 2 are a pair of my favorite Rpgs of that era, Grandia 2 is a wonderful game. Grandia 3/Xtreme was total ass, They paid Mark Hamill to voice act shitty, and the coding of the game made all the voiced dialog come out with broken cadence it sucked soooo bad.
The music of Wild Arms is some of the best ever.

I assume they're purposefully leaving out ROMs? Like Mother 3 isn't on there and I believe that is the only way to play the game in English is on PC.

I am again shouting out Legend of Heroes Trials of the Sky First and Second chapter (and praying the 3rd gets released!!). It's a great, fantastic JRPG old style, with a bunch of fun elements, extremely good character development and something that very few JRPGs have EVER done -- if you talk to all the regular "unimportant" town NPCs, they all have little stories of their own,and they progress throughout the game as well, some even travel from town to town and have a reason to do so and tell you those reasons through their own stories. For example, a mother trying to marry off her son, and looking for a proper woman, etc. The game is full of lore, and nothing is wasted. There's tons of little things that show the effort that went into this game is absolutely monumental.
Yes, theres nothing fancy -- spriteish characters and no voice overs and some parts of the main story are very cliche -- but going back to the early 2000s this game would have been talked about for years.
I highly encourage you to get this game if you like turn based JRPGs. Combat is a little bit slow and teh game itself starts a bit slow, but it still works, and is still interesting. Everything about this game -- the story, the character development, and thecleareffort the devs put into this game is beyond anything I've played in years.
I'm not kidding. Really, you need to get this game. It's one of the best JRPGs available. And if you really put forth the effort to do all the quests, including the hidden ones, etc... you'll spend over 100 hours playing it.

ALright, Aladain - you win. I'm gonna give it another go. Just wish I had a PSP/Vita because I don't wanna play this shit in a deskchair. And whoever suggested Steam Link...no.

Final Fantasy IX came out on iOS and Android a couple of days ago. I've heard that the control scheme is better than VII's iOS release but the download is absolutely ridiculous though. You need 8GB of free space for the Download and it takes up about 2GB once installed. I would have to delete practically everything off of my iPad just to download it. Yeah I can download all of my stuff again but that's just too much work.
Still waiting on the Steam release which should be soon. I've been itching to play it again and even went so far as to dig out my old PSX discs but the low res graphics are a bit much for me. I'll gladly pay for it off of Steam for the graphic treatment.
