Game order (mostly console games, mostly on emulators?) - a post for 2025

Regardless of whether I finish these games or not, I use them to practice reading Spanish—I find Spanish translations of them and then try to play those versions primarily.

These are games that I pretty much never played before—I didn't grow up playing that many video games (although they certainly intrigued me and I did get to play them from time to time).

I've decided to go with conventional wisdom and focus on games that are critically acclaimed and beloved by fans, to make it more likely that I will get sucked in. And of course I will also follow my own interests.

As another strategy to maximize chances of getting sucked in, I'm going to come up with a game order—an order in which I will try (and perhaps finish) the games.

So, without further ado (and subject to much subsequent editing!):

…chronologically from the present to the future, descending…

Final Fantasy Tactics - War of the Lions - on Playstation Portable - this one has already sucked me in, I think. I like that the story just flows, without much action required on your part.

 ^^^ this is the one I'm currently one
