A Is to B as B Is to C (Day 221)

After playing through a couple of games I've been putting off for years (Final Fantasy I and II) I've gotten in the mood to pick up on some more old unfinished titles. A cursory inspection of unfinished games on my Backloggery reveals that there aren't a whole lot of games that would be easy to just pick up and finish. I took care of a lot of those a couple years ago, because for some reason I was at the end of several different games. For the moment, the easiest titles for me to just pick up and complete would be Kirby and the Amazing Mirror as well as Kirby Mass Attack. I'm not really in a huge platformer mood right now but I might try them out anyway since I do dig Kirby quite a bit.

Lost Odyssey is an option and something I attempted earlier this year (or perhaps late last year). I have a save on the last disc, pretty close to the final dungeon with absolutely no clue as to what I need to do. I attempted to restart the game but lost interest fairly early in, unfortunately. It's a game I admire for a number of reasons, but the gameplay is relatively vanilla. I could consult some walkthroughs and try to figure out what I need to do to progress and just power through--and I think that's honestly what I will do at some point.

Once I get my video card, I'll have access to my entire PS2 library that I need to catch up on. Since my actual console is broken, I have to use an emulator. I can get these games to run okay at the moment but with a video card they should run perfectly. I have a ton of PS2 games that I still need to finish, like SMT: Digital Devil Saga and its sequel, Phantom Brave, Makai Kingdom, as well as Final Fantasy X and X-2. If I take care of those I will have vanquished a pretty significant chunk of my backlog.

If I somehow find a way to grab a new PSP charger I'll be able to start working through some of those games I haven't finished, most notably Dissidia 012--a good game that I'm. . .pretty bad at. I also have some other options there as far as RPGs go, but I would just as soon leave them uncompleted. I'll have to revisit them once again to really make my final decision there.
