Havent bought a new console since PS3 because I like replaying my favorite old school RPGs. But I was wondering about the new Final Fantasy. I also dont think Id be into FF7 Remakes until theyre all out. Thoughts?

I think with the Switch or PS5 you'll be good, but PS5 off the top:

Final Fantasy XVI (and all the rest)
Persona
Ys
Trails
Baldur's Gate 3

No. PS3 games on PS+ aren't even downloadable, they're all stream only.

Is there a FFXVI package or something that comes with bonus content? I am seeing something like that online for $510.

PS5 can play PS4 games though.
Warning, the self-destruct system has been activated, all personnel should evacuate immediately, 5 minutes to detonation.

I love my PS5. FFXVI isnt really worth it if thats your biggest reason for getting one. Its a good game but I wouldnt tie my feelings about the PS5 to it.

Walter: No, Donny. These men are cowards.

PS5's load times + Yakuza: Like a Dragon = top notch.
