I finally brought myself to finish Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII. Ending was ridiculous. It had some good parts but ultimately not worth the hassle. Combat is good, at least.
Mass Effect 3 (slowly finishing FemShep run)
Undertale (about 3-4 hours in)
Onechanbara Z2 Chaos (finished it, but might do some quests/trophies. Not as bad as I thought it would be)
Picross e6 (casual play at night)
Suikoden II - I just learned that I screwed up and can't get the good ending
Trails in the Sky Second Chapter - loved the first one and this is just more of the good stuff
Tales of Graces f - I've been playing this on and off for almost a year now. I enjoy the gameplay but the game just doesn't grab me enough to finish it.
Kingdom Hearts II on critical mode (normal run, none of that lvl 1 bs ) - I'm still early on but I already like what they did in terms of rebalancing the difficulty. It makes me appreciate the combat system much more than I initially did. I also have to say that people love to shit on KH's story much more than it deserves. It has many good elements and characters even though the overarching narrative makes little sense.
Generally, I'm playing too many jrpgs at once and I feel like replaying FF7 and starting Xenoblade 3D soon.
I kinda miss the times when I could just play one game at a time and give it my full attention.
FFVII 3rd Replay (PSX, about 12 hours)
FFX in like 8th(?) replay (Yes, I like the game so much to do that), capturing monsters and getting Celestial Weapons. I´ve a separate 9th playthrought doing NSG (for the first time).
FFXII 3rd replay, trying to get everything from the License Board (and buying the stuff)
PERSONA 3 hard-mode new game (20 hours in)
PERSONA 4 normal-mode, about to do the final dungeon and then begin NG+
I know, right? It felt terrible and I almost considered restarting at several points, but I forced myself through it. Ended up with one of the neutral endings (probably the worst one
where things are looking grim in the Underground and Sans tells you to go to hell)
I think I'll replay it soon and go for the true pacifist ending. Though I read that the game tracks all your kills even if you reload your save or start a new game, so I hope I didn't screw myself out of anything. According to Gamefaqs the only way to completely corrupt your file to the point where you'd need to reinstall the game is to get the full genocide ending, but I guess I'll find out!

FFIX, got excited for new ports so I busted out the ol' PS1.
SMT Nocturne (Hard Mode, Solo, TDE challenge). Because why not?
KH3D, just started my very first playthrough this evening. Kinda gonna take some getting used to playing on 3DS.
I didn't lock myself out of getting the true pacifist ending by choosing to kill Flowey at the end of my normal run, did I? Cause I've seen conflicting info on that.
Get ready for the most bullshit plot twist of the entire series. And I know what you're thinking: "But ScienceNonfiction! The Kingdom Hearts series is already known for its bullshit storyline!" This one's different though. This is the bullshit plot twist to end all bullshit plot twists. I feel like they just said "Screw it, the story's already so stupidly complex and ridiculous that we're just gonna make it as convoluted and incomprehensible as possible."
But hey, guess it's my fault for actually trying to follow the story of these games! I'm guessing that, like most people, you're probably smart enough to have stopped caring already.

Joy! I'm curious to see how deep the bs rabbit hole gets in this series lol, but yeah I'm definitely one of those that just kinda plays for the experience now.

Yeah, at least the gameplay is pretty good in that particular entry (as it is in most of them). I remember the boss fights being very enjoyable (and they're replayable, which is nice).
