Top 5 video games?
In no particular order!
1. Pokémon [Many gens across many handhelds] (Started with Gen 3 and while I loved Emerald, my birthstone, so much, I really have to give it to Gen 4 in Sinnoh. I spent so many hours with my OG Diamond. I skipped Platinum for HeartGold, but when I got it, I got the 8th badge and then just restarted the whole game because I enjoyed the story so much)
2. Ace Attorney [Trilogy on Switch/PS4/PC/3DS/maybe Xbox?, Apollo on DS/3DS, Dual Destinies and Spirit of Justice on 3DS, Great Ace on Switch] (I can't pinpoint a specific favorite, but I will say Apollo Justice is so underrated)
3. Final Fantasy X [HD Remaster on PS3/PS4/PC/Switch/PS Vita] (my first FF game and was a perfect entry for it being turn based. Say what you will about X-2 but the changing of job classes a la magical girl transformations and the traces of being an idol was and still is my shit)
4. Yakuza [PS4 including the remakes and HD remasters] (despite me having all the damn games and only halfway into 0 and partially in Kiwami 1, and not touching the rest yet lmao)
5. Persona 5 [PS3/PS4. Royal is PS4] (That's self-explanatory)
Some Honorable Mentions:
Mortal Kombat [PS3/PS4/XBOX 360/XBOX One/PC for the reboot games] (MK2 [SNES/Genesis] is a favorite even tho I still suck at the old school ones, because of the debut of my monster wife, Mileena. She's on the bad side, but as of the reboot, she really just wants to be loved and accepted because she was really made to be a spare)
Rival Schools [PS1] (A 90s fighting game done by Capcom that I *want* to come back. I still have the 2 discs of it)
Harvest Moon DS Cute [DS] (I hyperfocused the shit out of this the summer of '08. I made it to year 6 in a short amount of time but didn't know how to really finesse until I started over and got things done by maybe year 3)
Fire Emblem: Three Houses [Switch] (I spent over 600 hrs with this)
Hamtaro Ham-Ham Heartbreak [GBA] (I fucking love this little hamster and his big adventures)
Atelier Iris 3: Grand Phantasm [PS2] (I got this as a random gift from one of my dad's friends when I was maybe....12??? And I did end up beating the game some years later, but it was genuinely a jrpg that I enjoyed)
