I wish SquareEnix would discount the 360 versions of FFXIII, XIII-2, and Lightning Returns. It seems like everything else does, but these. Even the PC versions get a discount.
I'm hopefully finishing up Avowed with enough time to try/finish South of Midnight before this releases. Avowed is way longer than the developers stated pre-launch!
@Jarl76 Literally ALL they had to do was remake the original game with the new design/graphics, but they turned it into an action game instead of turn-based . I've been torn over it for a long time and not sure I'll ever play it unless it is on Game Pass. Hopefully they don't do the same with FFIX remake and I'd buy day one ports of FF Tactics: The War of the Lions and Chrono Trigger.
@JON22 It's lower on my want list than other SquareEnix stuff, but it really should be on Xbox. Maybe we hear something today or at the next Xbox showcase. If not, I think that ship has sailed.
@Sol4ris Not as far as you, but a thoroughly engaging game. I want to finish before South of Midnight, but I may not make it. If not I'll move on to Claire Obscure: Expedition 33, which is my most anticipated game of the whole year so far anyway. Still will probably try South of Midnight though, even if I'm not done with Avowed yet.
@Titntin I'm having a blast with it. Very good game. Maybe I need to run through Dawnshore and the Emerald Stairs again with Marius to make sure I have everything. I don't have anything else to fight in those locations, so should be easy cleanup. I switched him out to Giatta after getting her to join.
@Titntin I felt like I was going slow. I've cleared each map, done almost, if not all side quests so far, have my gear in the red, and I'm lvl 16. I just added the 4th party member.
@Cakefish Holding out for the Series X was a great decision for me. I went from the Xbox One S to the Series X in 2021 and I've loved my Series X and what it can do. The 65" 4K tv helps too! I just wish it had 120hz capabilities. Still amazing, though.
Based on all the previews I've read. Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is shaping up to be a dark horse candidate for Game of the Year. I sure hope so, because everything is looking fantastic right now for this studio's first game. The voice actors are an insane compilation! Some big, heavy hitters!
Suikoden I HD Remaster for me. Fantastic game that still holds up today. Never played II, so excited for that one. These should tie me over until South of Midnight and then my most anticipated game of the year in late April, Clair Obscure: Expedition 33!
@Lup Me too. I'm taking my sweet time with Avowed. 18hrs in and still early in the second main area. I took a break to play Suikoden 1 right now. Game still holds up strong.
Bought it pre-order just the other night. Ready to go tomorrow! I nearly finished 1 back around release, but never played 2. Even with that, Suikoden had left a lasting impact on my gaming life.
@Lup This is fantastic news. This is my most excited for game since its reveal. I may be purchasing this one as well. Now I'm going to have to finish Avowed and dabble in Suikoden 1 and 2 before this one releases.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of Blue Prince On Xbox Game Pass So Far?
Like others, South of Midnight is top priority for me right now. Then I need to go back and finish Avowed before Expedition 33 later this month.

@FraserG Thank you. I was hoping there'd be more.
Re: Xbox Spring Sale 2025 Seemingly Delayed To Next Week As 'Sneak Preview' Continues
Will the Spring Sale be different than the sneak peak for Gamepass member?
Re: Indiana Jones And The Great Circle 'Update 4' Now Live On Xbox
@Kaloudz excellent game. Playstation gamers are in for a treat!
Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Game You've Played In 2025 So Far?
So far Avowed, but I'm about halfway through Ch.3 in South of Midnight and that is an awesome game!
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In April 2025
@Lup I'm in Galawain's Tusks right now running around doing side quests and exploration in Avowed. I think I'm close.
Re: Xbox Game Pass: All Games Coming Soon In April 2025
@Lup south of Midnight is so good! I'm about halfway through Ch.3. I should be able to finish this and Avowed before Expedition 33.
Re: Opinion: South Of Midnight Reminds Me Why I Love Xbox Game Pass
Played for a couple of hours last night! Wow! What a super cool game!
Re: Pure Xbox Game Club: April 2025 - South Of Midnight
Hoping to fire it up later tonight. I'm going to pause on Avowed to give it a quick look.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Hoping To See In The Xbox Spring Sale?
@HonestHick I looked again and its on sale right now for me.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Hoping To See In The Xbox Spring Sale?
@HonestHick Keep looking. I kid you not, I had the Pandora Collection show up a couple of years ago in a Just For Me promo...$30! Insane value!

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (April 5-6)
Avowed...still! Been playing since day 1. Just got to the Galawain's Tusks area.
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Length, Performance Modes & Other Xbox Details Revealed

Re: Review: South Of Midnight (Xbox) - A Fantastic, Soulful Outing From Xbox Game Studios
@Kaloudz good thing 1st party games don't leave! I'm still working on Avowed. I'm hoping to finish it and give SoM a try before Expedition 33.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Still Coming To Xbox In 2025, Insists Insider
@RexPowercolt It really shouldn't even be more than $50, but we shall see.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2's Crazy Game Prices Could Be Terrible News For Xbox Fans
@Kaloudz Nintendo prices are garbage. Hardly anything 1st party is discounted heavily.
Re: Nintendo Just Broke Our Hearts With Today's Final Fantasy 7 Annoucement
@JON22 It's lower on my want list than other SquareEnix stuff, but it really should be on Xbox. Maybe we hear something today or at the next Xbox showcase. If not, I think that ship has sailed.
Re: Nintendo Switch 2's Crazy Game Prices Could Be Terrible News For Xbox Fans
That's wild prices. Glad I can still get Game Pass for free with rewards.
Re: Nintendo Just Broke Our Hearts With Today's Final Fantasy 7 Annoucement
@GamingFan4Lyf If there isn't additional info later today that it is also coming to Xbox, I think you can correctly assume so.
Re: These 20+ Games Are Coming To Xbox Next Week (March 31 - April 4)
@Kaloudz I waited so, so long for the FF Pixel Remasters. You can do it!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 29-30)

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 29-30)
Still rocking Avowed! Fantastic game.
Re: Avowed Update 1.31 Now Live, Includes Improved Performance On Xbox Series X|S
Solid 9/10 for me. I'm maybe a little over halfway at this point.
Re: Multiple Games Announced For Xbox Following March 2025's Nintendo Direct
Dragon Quest and the Marvel beat 'em up are on my radar!
Re: Xbox Dev Obsidian Announces New Turn-Based Combat Feature For Pillars Of Eternity
Avowed is really making me interested in going back and trying these two PoE games.

@Tasuki Shoot! Maybe I am rushing afterall, 😄!
Re: Opinion: It's Been A Quiet March, But Next Month Looks Awesome For Xbox Game Pass
@Tasuki Seriously! I'm 31hrs into Avowed and I'm just now starting the Shatterscarp area.
Re: Microsoft's New 'Buy One, Get One Free' Sale Features Plenty Of Xbox DLC
@Kaloudz Hold the line, it's coming!
Re: Microsoft's New 'Buy One, Get One Free' Sale Features Plenty Of Xbox DLC
@Kaloudz Should be any time now.
Re: Microsoft's New 'Buy One, Get One Free' Sale Features Plenty Of Xbox DLC
@Kaloudz Yeah, nothing I'm interested in. Hopefully the Spring Sale will have some good deals.
Re: Another Major Xbox Game Pass Release For April 2025 Has Gone Gold
👏👏👏 I can't wait for this one!!! I hope to finish Avowed and give South of Midnight a try before release.
Re: Talking Point: What's The Best Xbox Game You've Played During The Series X|S Generation?
My pick is still Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Re: Xbox Series X And S Offer Vastly Different Experiences With Assassin's Creed Shadows
@Cakefish Holding out for the Series X was a great decision for me. I went from the Xbox One S to the Series X in 2021 and I've loved my Series X and what it can do. The 65" 4K tv helps too! I just wish it had 120hz capabilities. Still amazing, though.
Re: Six Games Are Confirmed For Xbox Game Pass In April 2025 So Far
Based on all the previews I've read. Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 is shaping up to be a dark horse candidate for Game of the Year. I sure hope so, because everything is looking fantastic right now for this studio's first game. The voice actors are an insane compilation! Some big, heavy hitters!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (March 15-16)
Suikoden I HD Remaster for me. Fantastic game that still holds up today. Never played II, so excited for that one. These should tie me over until South of Midnight and then my most anticipated game of the year in late April, Clair Obscure: Expedition 33!
Re: Indiana Jones Set To Release For PS5 In April After Four Months Of Xbox Exclusivity
Solid game. Lots to collect and find. It made me interested in the dlc, whenever it comes out.
Re: Here's What Might Be Leaving Xbox Game Pass In April 2025
@Tasuki Avowed won't be leaving though...
Re: Here's What Might Be Leaving Xbox Game Pass In April 2025
@Lup Me too. I'm taking my sweet time with Avowed. 18hrs in and still early in the second main area. I took a break to play Suikoden 1 right now. Game still holds up strong.
Re: Here's What Might Be Leaving Xbox Game Pass In April 2025
@Lup I think I'm pretty far along, just need to jump back in.
Re: Here's What Might Be Leaving Xbox Game Pass In April 2025
@Lup I need to finish that game. Playing Suikoden 1 and Avowed right now though.
Re: Roundup: Here's What The Reviews Are Saying About Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster
Bought it pre-order just the other night. Ready to go tomorrow! I nearly finished 1 back around release, but never played 2. Even with that, Suikoden had left a lasting impact on my gaming life.
Re: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 Releases This July, Day One On Xbox Game Pass
@Tasuki Pre-ordered Suikoden last night! Thank you rewards points!
Re: Roundup: The Final Previews Are In For Xbox Game Pass RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Re: Avowed Estimated To Reach 6 Million Players In First Month On Xbox & PC
I'm enjoying it. Almost 17 hours in and I'm just in the second main area. So much to do and discover!
Re: Eight Games Will Leave Xbox Game Pass In Early March 2025
@Scrubchub If you like turn-based games, start with Yakuza: Like A Dragon then Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
Re: Poll: What Do You Think Of 'Balatro' On Xbox Game Pass So Far?
@GoldenPants Yeah, I just didn't find it very engaging at all. More of a chore to keep playing.
