I'm retro. I never tried Chrono Trigger so I'm giving it a try.

Never finished Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross. The latter is on my list of possible next games after I finish SO2R, though low on the list right now.

Are the two Chrono games related?

Yes; they're set in the same world/universe.

Cross is sort of a sequel to Trigger. It's... complicated.

Damn, I envy you. PEN BS is next on my list to obtain through freebie clicks. I would trade my mythical peggy for a pen BS in a heart beat. Honestly, if I ever hit a pen awakening BS (awakening sage main here) I would consider getting back into BDO, at least halfway through. Right now, the only thing of worth to my account is my infinite HP pot (which I bought from selling accessories I clicked with freebies), my mythical peggy (which has no silver or even combat value, so is it even worth anything? lol), and my pen disto. Not really much overall

Ender Magnolia is out now. It's the sequel to Ender Lilies.

After finally polishing off the last DLC stuff I wanted to do in Rise of the Tomb Raider, I am moving onto my next game...

I caved and decided to skip Rise of the Ronin (for now), and I have moved onto the PSN version of the original Final Fantasy VII.

Part of me wants to just blitz through it as fast as I can to rectify never having beaten it as a kid, but a larger part of me wants to take it slowly. I'm particularly unsure how I want to handle the Gold Saucer date. Aerith is my favorite character, but I feel like getting the Tifa date may be a better course of action. I didn't realize just how many choices impact that affection level; this is way, WAY more complicated that even getting endings in Star Ocean games.

Yeah. Square reused this affection system in FFX but it's easier to do since it involves Tidus often giving the character healing items or just fight alongside more. In VII, I always got Aerith cos she was quite good as a white mage. This also affects Cloud and Tifa's interactions before the final battle against Sephiroth.

I read that there's a bug wherein one choice can be repeated over and over to max out Tifa's affection points. I may roll the dice that that bug exists in the PS4-PSN version so that I don't have to be a dick to Aeris just to get and keep Tifa's points over Aeris'.

I've been currently playing these 4 games. After I platinum FF7 and R&C3, I plan to replay Crisis Core: FF7 and R&C: Deadlocked.

No interest in playing Deltarune, until Toby Fox inevitably releases Chapters 3-5 in the future.

Final Fantasy VII (PS4 Port, replaying on my PS5)
Phineas & Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension (PS3, playing on my PS5 thru PS+ Premium)
Ratchet & Clank 3: Up Your Arsenal HD (PS3, replaying on my PS5 thru PS+ Premium)
Undertale (PS4 Port, replaying on my PS5)

Looking at the trophies for original VII, there's no way I am going to Platinum it, but I'll give it the ol' college try to get a fair amount.

I really just want to finally beat this damn game and get onto Remake.

I'm just finishing up Kalm now. I haven't been able to play nearly as much as I'd hoped the last couple weeks.

I'd like to continue Helldivers 2 since it's fun as hell but Sony has implemented this ass backward policy of requiring a PSN linked account, which will lock out regions who cannot make a local PSN account, or possibly ban players who have a PSN region different from their Steam (like me!).

Yeah it's gonna take me a miracle as well, especially the G-Bike minigame trophy.

I plan to tackle that first, before I earn the remaining trophies I need.
