Seconding Xenoblade Chronicles.
I'm 4/6 for ones I can play, we'll have to see what ones come out on top. I prefer Ys 8/Phantom Brave as games I haven't played before but I would also absolutely love a replay of Vesperia.
There's only one game on there that I won't play, the rest are all VERY appealing to me.
To be polite, I won't get on my rant about it.
Anyway, I should be finishing up on my current RPG (CrossCode) very soon so I'm keen as a bean to see what we'll all be playing!
I own 4/6 of that list, and would be more than happy to play any of those. I’m willing to give the other two a shot, although my voting will still give priority to what I already have.
I've got a lot of traveling coming up this quarter so I'll be watching from the sidelines this time around.
But to answer LastSurprise's question, I think if we end with these 6 as the nominations, we can probably go straight to the final round. I can see still doing the Pick round if we want to narrow down to 4 for the final vote from where we are now or something, or if we get another nomination or two.
A bit surprised we haven't seen Octopath nominated, since that was a strong contender for the last few quarters.

Fire Emblem
Atelier
Phantom Brave
(Ys 8 is a must play btw. I probably won't join but I'd love to be a part of the thread if it does get picked.)

Cool. Have this sitting on the PS4. My son has played a little, but I'm yet to give it a go.
But the real insider story of this round was, I think, Phantom Brave, which showed broad enough appeal on its first appearance in our club voting. Phantom Brave dominated repeat contenders Xenoblade and Tales of Vesperia to make it to a strong second place finish. Do we have a future winner on our hands?
Confession: I nominated this game thinking that it would not even be seconded. I am quite (happily) surprised to see the support for a fairly obscure and niche title like this...
Did someone say Tactics RPG? Ears pricked up.
There currently is an NIS America sale on Steam, and you can pick up some Disgaea titles and Phantom Brave for very, very cheap! (I'm only bringing this up because Phantom Brave did pretty well in the last round of voting, and thought some people might want to pick it up.)
Ha! Beat me to it. Was coming in to let y'all know.
Keen to add Phantom Brave to my pile
I'm currently playing Fantasian (Apple Arcade), out of scope for the club I know. I'm hitting it hard because I'm hoping to finish it up within my trial period. Highly recommended though, one of the best turn-based battle systems I've played, lots of Lost Odyssey vibes.
