What JRPGs will you be playing in April? What games did you finish in March?

Finished Trails through Daybreak 2.
Playing either Xenoblade X or Atelier Yumia soon, but at the moment busy taking a quick break from JRPGs with TEVI.

Beat Suikoden and Chained Echoes in March. I really liked Chained Echoes, it did quite a few new things. Though, there were definitely limitations from its engine. I was hoping to be surprised by something in the second half of the game, but there weren't really any gameplay twists, and the megaworm sequence felt unfinished. Overall though, I am looking forward to the DLC. Suikoden is one of my favorite nostalgic games. Playing it now though, I forgot how short it is! Still a great game though, and I love the twists and turns in gameplay and story. For the time I played it in the PS1 Era, it was a revelation!

Currently playing FF7 Rebirth, and the combat is fantastic but the mini games are getting overbearing. Queens blood, chocobo racing, fort condor, the motorbike level from remake, box smashing, 3d brawler, moogle catching, the one where you're turned into a frog, the dolphin race, the military parade, lab-rat-dog rocket league, some kind of space shmup, crunch off in the gym, and I gave up on the piano and just installed a mod to always get a perfect score. I'm on the back half of Corel Region now so I'm hoping they'll let up for a while, but Gold Saucer was a fucking slog.
- It's a mini game simulator. I even think i had fun with them for a while. But with time it gets to much. If i play it again, for sure mostly the main story, maybe the side quest stories, but not everything else.

Only one I finished in March was Final Fantasy XVI, which is admittedly light on RPG elements. I loved this game. Loved the cast, the spectacle, the difficulty was exactly where I like it. Voice acting was phenomenal. I don't know if I'd want another Final Fantasy like this, but had a great time.
Other than that, I've been playing Suikoden II (the remaster). I appreciate the update--especially the script--to a classic game, but yikes, this is not a polished product. This all but guarantees I won't be getting Star Leap. I'd have to see some amazing reviews.
I'm getting a bad feeling from some of the recent marketing, but I'm still planning on jumping into Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 at the end of the month. Hopefully it's solid.

Try star ocean
There recently remade it this year for steam. And it was one of the greats for ps1

After quite a break from JRPGs, due to Witcher 3 being so long, I recently started Metaphor.
Currently, I'm almost at the end of the first dungeon, I assume. So far, the game has been awesome. Give me anything with Press Turn and/or proper resource management and I'm in love with it. Although, I was surprised just how similar the game is to Persona 5. What they did change however was really good thus far.
- I loved Hulkenberg by the end. Her quirks are great, yet she's shockingly insightful at times. I feel like having older characters than usual gave the writers room to stretch a bit.
- I expect a more different kind of game as well since it's not part of the Shin megami Tensei/Persona... world and has a completly new name and world building. They have different monster, but at the end at lot mechanics or gamestyle elements from Persona or Megami Tensei games.

Atelier Yumia. Then i’ll go back to FF7 Rebirth. But the piano minigame is rage inducing. So maybe i’ll abandon Rebirth for a bit and pick up Ryza

I'm in between Octopath Traveler 2. Try to finish it till...ehhh i want to play both, Expedition 33 and The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. Not sure which i start first yet.

I finished up 1 playthrough of SMT4. I want to 100%. If i do before the end of April ill hop on to SMT4 : Apocolypse

This seems like the thread to ask this question in: are there any Persona fans around here who can help me break through my mental block with P4G?
I don't typically replay narrative games which I've completed. Therefore, in games which offer a NG+ experience (usually under the guise of "you got an ending, now play the game again for the TRUE ending!"), I am inexorably drawn to guides which are designed to allow the player to experience the maximum amount of content on a first playthrough. On the bright side, such guides are in abundance for this game. On the less bright side, playing Persona gives me anxiety now.
Even when I'm intentionally avoiding the guide to lessen that sensation, the knowledge that an optimal path exists, and I'm not following it, is discomfiting. I know this is dumb. We work on it therapy.
Is Persona just not the series for me? How do others deal with some of its quirks?
- If you typically have a compulsion that you have to see all the content in a game, P4G is going to be a miserable experience. There's a way to complete all the S-Links on the first run, but it requires a ton of early gameplay sacrifice, min/maxing, and lot of shuffling Personas around. If you want to add in seeing all the romances at once, the game's going to literally punish you for doing that. Making meaningful decisions with your time is a core part of the series formula.
  That said, it's all but trivial to see the "true" ending in P4G. There's just a small, specific requirement you have to meet.
  As to the series (and related games) in general, it's much easier to see everything in Persona 5 Royal and Metaphor: ReFantazio. You'll need either a guide or to know a few of the time-saving strategies in P5R, but Metaphor is pretty straightforward with it. I recently finished both with plenty of calendar time to spare after seeing all the content.
  By the way, feel free to ask questions like this in a post! We don't have nearly enough discussion posts, I think.
