FFXII is my favorite, but it plays different than the older classics. For instance, it’s real time with pause.
I loved the steam (updated) versions of Final Fantasy VI - very old school but the update looks great and I had a damned blast playing it again, just a year or so ago. Also, in the same vein, Final Fantasy IV would be another great pick. Those were originally FF III and II respectively here in the US back in the day.
EDIT - Oh, and Final Fantasy V (which is where the concept of “Job’s” were introduced and I only played it a little in emulation a long while back) is also available. I may have to grab that one, I heard it’s good and I never really played it.
All four (ha ha ha) of the games on my wishlist are on sale. I think that I will buy:
Banner Saga for $9.79 Victoria II for $4.99 Star Hammer: The Vanguard Prophecy for $4.99
I’m considering Slay the Spire but it is still in early access. Should I buy it now or wait till it’s fully baked? 12,356 people can’t all be wrong, right?!

Good for you, this steam sale is for you! I don’t. And haven’t for going on a couple years more or less. I do however have some at 66% off that is close enough that I’ll likely pick up.
I don’t understand Slay the Spire. I’ve seen several clusters of recommendations for it across different sites, but every time i look at the videos i don’t see anything particularly interesting about it.
Instead of getting Dark Souls 3 buy the version that has the DLC. I think I saw it last night for under $25. The DLC themselves never sell for under that by themselves, so best to get them with the game on a sale if you can.
I don’t know how good the DLC is, although apparently there are some bad ass bosses. But I thought the DLC for DS1 and DS2 were very good.
I know what you mean. I got it recently and am liking it, but it just doesn’t look like a fun game on streams. It’s kind of hard to explain the appeal other than it plays very fast.
Partially off topic, but since like most sales they’re pushing the discovery queue somewhat I gave it another shot. In 4 runs, I’ve seen:
-The same game up to 3 times
-Non-English games (I have zero such in my library)
-Several games with tags I’ve gotten tired of clicking “Not Interested” on (“but it’s popular!” says the Steam interface)
-Games that were already listed for me on the front page
Yeah, I was going to suggest BSG: Deadlock, as it’s basically an evolution of the same type of game. But yeah, along with that comes the higher system requirements.
