I know all about not having time to play certain games. I don't even bother with a back log. There's just too much... All I can do is just play 'em as I go.
Why don't you do the Lufia 2 playthrough? ;)
For journals, I like playing games that are somewhat (if not completely) new to me, so I was actually thinking of one of the Phantasy Stars for my next one (NOT the first one - Don't want to have to break out graph paper).
~ Never played II. Apparently it was groundbreaking for its time.
~ Barely played III.
~ While IV is one of my all-time favorite JRPGs, I never actually finished it.
So yeah, probably one of them. Honestly gonna be a little while before I get on it, though. That aforementioned lack of time.. She a bitch.
