So I've been trimming down my backlog fast lately. I beat RDR2(Haven't done the 'postgame' stuff, but am going to take a break before I do). I beat Mario & Rabbids. I beat Paper Mario the Origami King this morning.

The games I have in mind for next are:

Valkyria Chronicles 4 is my most wanted but I have to wait for a sale since it doesn't make sense to pay retail for a game that frequently goes on sale for half price.
Xenoblade DE -- I'm bored of this honestly. The combat is literally just standing there and pressing a button over and over and hoping your stats are good enough to beat the monster.
FF9 - I made it a decent ways in this the last time I played it. To the town past the sandstorm but honestly I've forgotten most everything about that game. It's been over a year. But I would like to beat it still.
Luigi's Mansion - I own it and am like halfway done but don't have much desire to play it
Astral Chain - I'm like 80% of the way through the game but have no desire to play it.
DQ11 - Act 2 turned into a slog.

That's basically where my backlog is at right now. As for systems, I have a Switch and a high end gaming PC.

I'm not completely set on continuing one of -those- games, so I'd be looking for recommendations.

If you're halfway through you only have a couple hours left. It's not a very long game

that's not a bad idea. I'm on the first mission of Claude's Part 2. I've beaten every path except Edelgard's and the last half of Claude's

I just don't like the exploration mechanics in the game. To make a good exploration game you have to have a big world or diverse mechanics. "vacuum and shine everything in every room" wasn't doing it for me.

Your list is a bunch of rpgs you're not enjoying. I dont have a solid answer but maybe try a different genre?

I read this as "buy Ni No Kuni while it's on sale"

I would obviously vote FF9. But I am very biased.

One of my all time favourite games, if you are playing it on pc or something where there are speed up mechanics, use them. Game play is molasses compared to current games.

I play it on the Switch. Didn't mind the speed of the gameplay. I think I quit playing because I got distracted by something else.

finishing FF9 would be my pick, since it seems you liked it (as opposed to the others that you found boring/a slog/etc.)

FF9 is the one that sounds like the one you dislike the least.

Astral Chain, you're pretty close in and I really liked the end.

Luigi's Mansion would be a quick one to finish.

Why is almost your entire list a bunch of games you apparently don't like at all?

If you're not having fun then play something else. (I guess I'd say FF9 based on the list, but your Xenoblade comment makes it sound like you just plain don't like JRPGs.)

Uhhh my list is games I don't like that much...because those are the games I stopped playing. The games I did like, I finished it ^_^

I also loved XBC2 just so you know. I just don't like XB DE

Honestly xenoblade combat gets a bit of a slog after you do it for a while, I understand this take. But know that you are in enemy territory Steve. We dont take kindly to people that dont like xc1
