Well, I finally finished Disgaea 4. I'd really like to tackle some postgame content but I am ridiculously burned out on it after spending almost a month playing it. Grinding for levels on the same handful of maps ran out of novelty quite some time ago. I think I only continued playing so I could actually finish it. It's not a bad game by any stretch of the imagination but I don't find the gameplay satisfying enough to make up for the shallow (although cute) plot and characters. Still, I'll probably play Disgaea D2 whenever I have funds available; strategy RPGs are few and far between.
Pokemon X and Y come out in three days. I'll probably be spending most of my gaming time on it for the foreseeable future, but in the meantime maybe I could revisit something I didn't finish? Throne of Bhaal is the obvious choice but I'm not sure I'm completely ready to revisit the Infinity Engine. Catherine is another option; I find the storyline in that game very interesting and involving, but the puzzle-solving gameplay is fiendishly difficult for me. It's an extremely well-designed game but I lack an aptitude for it.
What else is there? There's a whole slew of Wii games, emulated games, and maybe one or two Xbox 360 games I could revisit. I like the idea of finally playing through the original versions of Final Fantasy and Final Fantasy II but really only for the historical perspective. Lufia 2 is another RPG for the SNES that I stopped playing abruptly. It wasn't bad but I'd just finished playing its inferior predecessor and was kind of sick of the franchise. It's been several months, but maybe I could pick up where I left off.
I think I might go through a series of games I haven't played in awhile (and maybe try a few new ones) and make a decision on something to play. If I like it enough, I can play it concurrently with Pokemon. That sounds like a good idea.
