Is anyone able to access the DLC at all? I am seeing stories online that it is just on xbox.

I'm really excited to start playing tomorrow (I pre-ordered the Digital Deluxe Edition). I maxed out at lvl 15 in the demo, so I'll have a great head start!

@Lup I used wand and sword and sword shield primarily. I'd be interested to try another style.

@Lup A solid 8 or 9 from me as well. I had a great time playing it. I did just about everything you could in a single playthrough. I only left 12 achievements on the board, but may get it for myself on a deep sale as I played it at launch when I had Game Pass.

@Tasuki the original FF is still an amazing game today!

I'm in a bit of a downtime where I'm in-between games and not playing anything this weekend. That all changes this coming week when I get Dragon Quest VII Reimagined. I pre-ordered the deluxe edition and didn't even know it came with early access until recently, so Feb 3rd can't get here soon enough!

I'll be knee deep in Dragon Quest VII, but if something is on my wishlist for a good price, I'll bite.

I'm just sittin' over here waiting on Dragon Quest VII Reimagined.

I recently 100% Sea of Stars on my second playthrough (finished at launch) after recently finishing The Messenger (for the first time). I'm now towards the end of the Sea of Stars DLC which is great timing since Dragon Quest VII is about to come out soon.

Currently about halfway on my 1TB Series X. I like to keep it about that amount and only have things I am currently playing or enjoy downloaded.

@FredBiletnikoff Same. Mine lapsed the day after Christmas. I cannot justify $30/month. At least I have plenty to play and catch up on in my digital library.

I tried the demo and it was just not for me. I really wish they would've remade the original with these graphics. Oh well. Maybe someday Square will realize FFVII should've remained turn-based.

I've been on Xbox as my main system since I got the 360 in 2008. I bought it solely to play Lost Odyssey and haven't looked back since.

Interesting. I am going to be solely focused on Dragon Quest VII Reimagined next month, but i will keep this one on my radar.

I really enjoyed Avowed. I played it through GamePass at launch, but it would be a nice title to have. The new content seems pretty nice too.

Wrapping up New Game+ for Sea of Stars and probably chipping away at the Dragon Quest VII Reimagined Demo. I finished it, but I'm working towards maxing out the characters before going into the full release since everything carries over. Wonderful game! I briefly played the original on PS1 at release, but I don't remember anything about it.

Hopefully Fable is now a lock and doesn't get canceled.

Demo is now available! Just downloaded in the US.

@Sindayl That's what I felt after playing the demo. I already own the original, which is still a great game today. These games probably just aren't going to be for me.

I tried the demo and it just didn't stick. I wish they would've just remastered the original with turn-based battles and used the current graphics of this game. Oh, well.

@bert0503 Ditto.

I have pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition so I get to play it a couple of days early. Now I get to play even sooner through this demo, which carries over! Excellent news!

@Elbow the Series X was such a fantastic upgrade for me in 2021. I love this system and what it can do. And yes, I love me some good old school Final Fantasy too!

Now that my GamePass subscription expired I just want to play more of what I want/own. It actually feels pretty good. Sure, I'll miss GamePass, but I don't feel so inclined to play what is on there ahead of other games.

Working through New Game + on Sea of Stars after recently finishing The Messenger. I should be able to finish before Dragon Quest VII Reimagined drops.

@Markatron84 Just having some good ol' New Year Fun! But, yes, I do already know Him!😃

Since we are in wishful thinking mode...shadow drop Game Pass Ultimate back to $20/month...🤪

Merry Christmas all!

@Lup Whoa! My entire Xbox Library is less than 150 games. How are you ever going to play all those games you bought this year alone? lol. Happy gaming either way!

Finished The Messenger! Now on to the DLC. What a fantastic game!

Playing The Messenger (which I just picked up for $4 last week) for the first time has put me in the mood to play Sea of Stars again. Oh, it's only $21? How convenient. SOLD!

Tried the demo for a bit and it confirmed what I was concerned with. This isn't what I wanted from a FFVII remake. This game should've been turn-based. It's a pretty game, for sure, but I don't think it's for me. Thankfully there is no shortage of great turn-based RPGs on xbox lately. Happy gaming for those that enjoy it though!

@Lup Well, less punishing so far, lol. I just got to the ice mountain.

Purchased The Messenger for $4 in a sale, so I'll be playing it. I've been meaning to play this since I finished Sea of Stars a few years ago. Such a cool game. It's like a funny, less punishing, old school Ninja Gaiden.

Played and finished Marvel's Cosmic Invasion. I felt it was WAY shorter than Shredder's Revenge. I think I prefer Shredder's Revenge myself.

@themightyant Same. Played 1 hour and immediately bought the Digital Deluxe edition.

@Lup Nobody asked you Lup! 😆 Just kidding. I'm still bummed it didn't click for you.

Well deserved recognition for Sandfall. Expedition 33 is a fantastic game. I hope we get word on the DLC soon.

@Shinato2024 I really enjoyed it as well. I played it to completion on Game Pass. With New Game+ I may pick it up for myself in a sale.

For $9.99 I picked it up just to have. Not a huge Halo fan or player, but that was a good deal.

Decisions made may be all over the place by Microsoft, but the Xbox Series X console itself (minus my thoughts on the games themselves) is the best console I've ever owned going all the way back to the NES. I'm glad others will now get to enjoy it.

@shoeses mine finally corrected after about 3 months.

@Kaloudz I prefer the turn-based myself. I was able to finish Kiwami 1, but that's it. Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth are perfect games to me.

I'm guessing $800-$1,000. I'd rather have the next xbox even if it is $1,200 -$1,500, even if I don't pick it up at launch. I have too many games on xbox console to just abandon.

@Divide_and_Wander great game. I finished it recently and I've finished DQ1 and am on DQ2 now.

Had some redeemed reward points to credit that expire next month. Picked up Halo Master Chief Collection, Ni No Kuni, Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes, and The Disney Aternoon Collection and had 8 cents leftover. I'm good until Dragon Quest VII Reimagined comes out now.

With my Gamepass subscription ending the day after Christmas, this will be a great swan song game to play with my son.

Ooh! Cosmic Invasion is a nice surprise!

Maybe we will get a confirmed price for Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Not like it's releasing anytime soon...

Wow, this all sounds terrible and a train wreck. I have no interest in co-op and the unable to pause nonsense. I had downloaded earlier this week in hopes to finish before GPU expires next month. Oh well, my hard drive just got a sigh of relief. So sad as I had a blast with BLOPS6 last year after not playing a COD game since Black Ops 1 and MW3. Oh well, back to Dragon Quest II HD 2D for me.
