I just finished Final Fantasy VI Advance, and it was superb. Now I'm very close to completing Cave Story, which is a wondrous piece of software, to say the least. I'm also getting into Dark Cloud 2 again, which is good and bad--I have yet to really sink my teeth into either Final Fantasy XII or Rogue Galaxy, both of which I own and enjoy playing.
Oh, the hardships I face.

I beat it some time ago. I'm pretty sure that a lot of the rest of us have too. FFXII was awesome. One of the best in the 3D FF games. WAAAY better than FFX in my opinion.
I just beat FFV Advance. I started Playing Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga and I'm also hacking away at FFVI Advance. I'll probably start playing Morrowind again once I get out of the field too.
I can't get into Portable Ops. I'm really disappointed that I can't. I'm sure its an awesome game.
I am still stuck playing Warcraft 3. :shrug:
Although, I am also play Castlevania PoR for the DS and Cave Story for the PC.
PSP for me:
Tekken
Winning Eleven
Fight Night
.hack//G.U. Rebirth
FFXII
Twilight Princess
And of course, Melee

FFXII is great. When I first got it, I had heard that many people weren't liking it much, and I admit I wasn't too happy with it at first. The beginning is slow and hard to get into, but a few hours in, once things open up a bit and you are given some time to grind and work towards a large amount of equipment and spells, the game becomes very addicting, and the story seems to just keep getting better and better. Eventually I was finding it harder to put down than any other 1 player game I'd ever play.
FFXII makes FFX look like crap. FFX was crap anyway. One of the strong points of FFXII is its characters.
Another neat thing is that the game seems clearly inspired by Star Wars. Balthier is clearly Han Solo, and that bounty hunter Bangaa must be Boba Fett, even down to the use of exotic weapons.
I also really appreciate the Shakespearean prose of the dialogue. It brings back a certain spirit to Final Fantasy that I feel has been missing since the franchise moved to 3D.
I also like how the game encourages you to stop and grind every once in awhile. Too many RPGs these days follow this formula where as long as you don't run from any fights, you can just plow your way through the game and always be of suitable level.
I haven't finished the game, because as soon as the WoW expansion Burning Crusade came out, I stopped what I was doing with the game and have been back on WoW.
Wii:
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2nd time)
Wii Play (medals)
also I'm trying to get 20 to my Wii Fitness Age. Ain't gonna be easy, though.
DS:
Mario & Luigi: Partners In Time
Metroid Prime Hunters (2nd time)
What a great time we are having with video games 😊
I've recently rediscovered Runescape and I still enjoy that game, which I haven't played in over '999' days, according to Runescape.
DS:
Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin (Beat it, but am doing the quests, and trying to get decent times on Boss Rush)
GBA:
Final Fantasy V Advance (Also beat, but am trying to find the Necromancer job.)
PC:
Diablo II (It's sad, but I've yet to beat the darn thing! I've only ever made it to Act 3 on normal... :mad😊
Land Of Dreams (RPG Maker 2000) (Beat it, and will probably go back to it, with the assistance of the sidequest manual! 😊)
Romancing Walker (RPG Maker 2000) (Beat this one, too, but am trying to get all 7 endings.)
Holy crap, someone on here is actually playing my Land of Dreams! O_o, when I look back on it and with concerns to my current rpg I've had in progress for the past two years, its a piece of crap. Sad but true. If you think LoD is an awesome rpg, meh, you're sorely mistaken, it was amateurish and what I'm doing now far surpasses that POS. LMAO, but regardless, thanks for enjoying the game! XD
I think I actually downloaded that RPG of yours, DFW, but never got around to playing it, and that was on an older computer. Maybe I'll give it a whirl one of these days if I can find the download again...
I also played through Romancing Walker, Blaman. Rather enjoyed that one. (Hayami FTW)
Well, let me tell you Kjazz, don't expect much from it, was a newbie effort. I'm hard at work on something many times better than that. Land of Dreams was before my work here at Zelda Classic with my myriad of quests. You know I can make quality stuff 'now', but not necessarily back then when it was created. I'm hard at work making my next RPG be something worth writing home about.
I'm playing the original FF3 on my NES.

The guy on that site can build actual cartridges that play games that weren't released in the US, including games that have fan translations.
I'm also playing Mercenaries in Resident Evil 4, hopefully to get the Handcannon bonus. I've gotten 5 stars on all the stages with Leon, now I'm trying to do it with Ada.
EDIT: Okay, now I'm playing the main RE4 game, with the Handcannon. Yes!
Now Playing:

- Finishing up Warcraft III + Frozen Throne. Already finished all official Campaigns; now to find some great custom content. Well, some more, anyway.
Been playing lots and lots of World of Warcraft, mostly. My epics were replaced by blues, and must now be replaced with epics again. Damn you, Blizzard!
Other than that, I've been having fun with Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, which I was a bit late in picking up. The Nightmare of Druga has also enthralled me... it's actually quite a good roguelike, if you're into that kind of game. Finally, I've been enjoying some Steel Battalion. I don't pull it out much, since it's such a pain to set up, but it's always great fun when I do.
EDIT: I feel the inexplicable urge to mention that Soul Calibur 3 always gets loaded up when friends are over... come on Namco, give us a fourth game already! With online play, please.
I've actually gone back to emulation for a while, with the likes of Lost Vikings and Mario RPG. I wish Blizzard would make another Lost Vikings game.
Heh, yeah. Lost Vikings was fun.
I'm currently working on some compilation DVDs for myself (shoving the best mods onto one disc so I never have to download them again), so at the moment I'm playing Duke3D again. I'm trying to update it with the newer High-Res graphics, but without the new 3D enemy and weapon models, which just seem... soul-less to me.
Always playing WoW as my feral druid on Suramar.
Castlevania: Portrait of ruin on my DS, and I am trying to force myself to pick up either Xenosaga or FFX2 to finish the game.
I am gonna play castlevania on the PS1 the RPG once I get it from my friend.
