Yeah, that's a good point - guns and swords would be excellent for sixth gen.
A'ight... I think I'm going to go with fan translations for the next theme. Feels like there's just a smorgasbord of choices there, just in 4th gen. Although obviously not limited to 4th gen.
As for finishing games, I get it. I'm sucked into Tales of Berseria right now (yes, I'm still going), and also finished Greedfall earlier. I'm trying to just enjoy what I want to play with less fuss, but I do want to at least beat a game per theme.

Actually I'm playing TWO RPGs right now, aside from the 35 hours in Ys8, I've got 13 hours in Kittaria Fables (via co-op with my wife). So yeah more RPGs off the table for now.

Haha, yep, that seems like a bit much - three would absolutely be overkill! You should be able to knock out Ys VIII relatively soon, though - I think you're probably 2/3 through the game at this point.

So not sure if I'm 2/3rds yet. All the sidequests, 100% all maps, finding all treasure chests, all the stuff. The only aspect I'm not crazy about with Ys8 are the raids. I'm not a fan of tower defense in general. Rest of the game is

Sums up me and SMT4. I'm at the point where I'm somewhat ready to move on now so I'll peak ahead at a guide to gauge where I'm at and looks like there's still more that'll unfold, lol. As in I can just tell I'm coming up to some juncture that's like "Last time to do all these quests and explore things if you haven't yet!" I'm 60 hours in and think I'll try to shoot for finishing up around 70, but yeah not going to rush it if I'm still having an amazing time. I don't replay RPG's much so I'm getting everything I want out of it.
I put 75h 4m into SMT3, so it could be close!...

Oh, yeah, I think I nearly 100%-ed Ys VIII myself. I didn't want to stop, either, 'cause it's absolutely that good.
I don't love tower defense either, but I did alright with those segments. I've certainly played worse, and at least they still involve lots of fast combat.

I did alright with those segments I regularly get A and S ranks, so I do well on the raids too. I just don't enjoy taking out wave after wave of enemies like that, not my thing at all. Falcom did their best to add variety to the mechanic, though. I do like that you can upgrade your defense architecture as well. But it's still tower defense at heart and not what I'm playing Ys for. So I only do the raids that you have to do, none of the optional ones. Anybody else reading understand this part of the game is very minimal, 95% of Ys8 isn't defending the village from raids.

Adding '90s arcade games to the ideas list - if I don't put it here I'll forget about it!

I'm down. One of the cool things about the arcades is that there are still so many discoveries to make, with tons of forgotten or unknown games that are actually fun.
