Probably none, though a true FFT sequel would come close.

At this point probably only mainline Legend of Zelda games.

I want to trust Rockstar with GTA, but I've just been burned too many times by others.

The number has been steadily dwindling for me, lately. I recently knocked Monster Hunter off the list because that's twice in a row we've been sold an unfinished product at release.

The only thing I can think of is Armored Core.

My man!

I think SilkSong is gonna be my first "first day buy" in like, 30 years, and even then I'd mostly just rent 'em at the video store to see if I liked the game or not.

Tales of, star ocean, persona, final fantasy (with the exception of 15. I didn't first buy this until that royal edition came out), and fire emblem have all been consistent day 1 buys for me.

I also bought most borderlands games day 1 too......borderlands 1, borderlands 2, and borderlands 3. *I actually refused to buy borderlands the pre-sequel back then and I forgot why, lol. I didn't first play the pre-sequel until the handsome collection on PS4 came out.* I do intend to buy borderlands 4 day 1 since playing through the game on co-op with my brother and best friend is basically tradition at this point.

Monster Hunter, though I didn't get Wilds at release since I didn't have my PC ready yet. But I would have got it at launch if I was ready.

Only other one is Zelda. I would also add The Elder Scrolls, since in all likelihood I'd get TES6 at launch if possible. But there hasn't been a main series game released in 14 years for TES, so it's still hard to say.

At this point, none. The 3 franchises that had been my answers to this for so long (Pokemon, Fire Emblem, and Call of Duty) have been so inconsistent recently that even those franchises have me in "wait until launch and see what people say about the game" mode. Call of Duty at least has the benefit of launching into Game Pass now, so I can try the latest game on day 1 without actually buying it, but still.
