It's a week or so early, but there is enough meat out there that I can start a very deep list. Last year's play list totally fell apart for me for various reasons.
So here we go.
In the Queue:
Dragon Quest XI- true, I will be starting it in 2018, but I will be playing it into 2019.
Final Fantasy XIV- my guild just went back...and I'm the most experienced player they have!
Upcoming:
WWE 2K19: I've collected enough gift cards to get this for my birthday next month, and I'm halfway there to the season pass for the DLC. So it's gonna happen.
Want to Buy/Play:
Here's the meat. 2019 looks like it's going to be a beefy year of goodness.
Cyberpunk 2077: This game looks great. Looks like it will have all the kinds of things I like in a game from choice/consequences, style, gameplay.
Dragon Age: Rise of the Dread Wolf: cautiously optimistic and hopeful they don't fuck this up.
Granblue Fantasy Re:Link: Looks like something I'll want to get my hands on.
Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel 1 and 2: I've been waiting for years to go into this series, with the whole delays to 3 and 4. And I need to go back and finish Trails in the Sky 1 (which I barely started) and then 2. Good chance I'll pick this up at some point.
Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen: yeah....still in development...still waiting.
.hack Reload: carry over from last year. Just need to have/want to spend the $20 to get it.
Battle Chasers: Nightwar: This looks like a decent game....and it's under $20.
Middle Earth: Shadow of War: another carry over. I think I'm waiting for a complete edition like with the first one.
God of War: When this us under $20 I will once more join Kratos in massive amounts of killing.
Assassins Creed Games: I'm behind in all of this. I have to get Unity, Syndicate, Origins, and Odyssey. At some point I will deep dive back into this series.
Dragon Star Varnir: Only know a little about this, but looks like something I might like.
Need to Finish/Go Back to:
Elder Scrolls Online: I stopped playing this for a couple of reasons. 1) not in love with it as an MMO. 2) I couldn't stand playing it on this laptop anymore with low quality settings. 3) The semester kept me from it to an extent. With the new rig I'll be getting next month, I'm likely to go back to it just for som time passing and playing with my guild. [/s]
Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1: as mentioned before, I should go back and take on this part of that series before I get into Trails of Cole Steel, so I am caught up in the series and apparently deep lore of the franchise.

My list so far is much shorter. I would like to pick up Bravely Default and maybe Bravely Second at one point. I'm loving HCBailly's playthrough of the first, and I enjoyed playing Radiant Historia even more than watching it. (I'm also considering snagging the soundtrack. Florem's theme is a catchy tune that I've claimed for my next story, though other tracks are wonderful as well.) Also, maybe the latest Smash Bros? Maybe for the long plane ride to Bali?
I still have to go back and finish DQVI and Suikoden IV. Endless Ocean kind of took over, and I still have to get a million visitors to the aquarium and unlock all of the dolphin tricks, as well as find a few more species.

Even though I bought too many games last year, I completed nine of them, and knocked out four from my backlog, so that was good to be aware of. Because my interests shift, I'm updating my Should Play and Should Finish lists. Some of the games I didn't get around to I'm replacing with other games in a similar situation. I figure I'll start with four Should Plays and five Should Finishes just like last year.
Should Play:
Final Fantasy XV
Soul Calibur IV
Attack on Titan 2
Doki Doki Literature Club
Should Finish:
SMT: Strange Journey
Persona 3 Portable
Persona 4 Arena
Divinity: Original Sin
Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard
Not Yet Bought:
Valkyria Chronicles 4 - Wishlist item until price is $30 or less
Soul Calibur VI - Wishlist item until price is $30 or less
Code:Realize ~Wintertide Miracles~ - on pre-order
The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince - on pre-order
The Caligula Effect: Overdose - on pre-order
TBD Steam Game During Annual Summer Sale
From Should Play we say farewell to Valkyria Chronicles and Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse, which were mid-year additions because I'd actually finished everything other than Final Fantasy XV, which I decided to delay while the DLC train ran its course. After some thought, I decided to swap them for other games I'd rather get through while avoiding being too RPG heavy. I decided to add Soul Calibur IV to knock out one of my SC backlog games and Attack on Titan 2 for my action gaming. Both will provide some variety. While not a game I've paid for, since it's free, I've been meaning to knock out Doki Doki Literature Club for a while now and that's my current visual novel target. Four games, four genres.
From Should Finish I decided to drop Golden Sun: The Lost Age and Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright. I still want to finish them, but clearly the enthusiasm wasn't there. Instead I added Persona 3 Portable, which is frightfully close to the end, if I recall, and this will be nice to wrap up before Persona Q 2 eventually arrives stateside. I also added last year's Divinity: Original Sin because I can't allow myself to get another Steam game until this one is done. And I do like it. It just takes time. Lastly I added Etrian Odyssey II: Heroes of Lagaard because I have a bunch of Etrian games so I really ought to finish this one before going on to the next.

I'd be remiss if I didn't add my two cents.
In The Queue:
Tales of Vesperia - Definitive Edition - It was a choice between this or KHIII, and this won out. That and it comes out in a few days as opposed to the end of the month.
Still Playing:
Final Fantasy XIV - First half of the last Stormblood story patch drops tonight, and am really excited for the upcoming Shadowbringers expansion this summer. *squees*
Warframe - Yeah, I think I'm making it a Christmas tradition to get the current year's Prime Access. I also need to start playing more often than I have to keep up with all the stuff that's about to happen.
Should Play:
Final Fantasy XV - Like Rune, I'm waiting for the DLC Train to stop. Really wishing they hadn't pulled the plug so soon.
Ni No Kuni II - Revenant Kingdom - Not sure why I haven't touched this one yet. I've played the first one. Maybe I'm still too excited for FFXIV patch.
Should Finish:
Secret of Mana (PS4) - Ran into a game crash during the Dark Palace and haven't touched it since. I need to correct that someday.
Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs - Not sure why I never touched this one after the prologue. Maybe because I'm too much of a wuss to play these strategy games without a guide... >.>
Dragonball Xenoverse I & II - I know I haven't done everything there is in either of these games, and I probably should have saved some dough for the season passes. Oh well.
Dragon Quest Heroes - I need to finish this second playthrough so I can say I've played through with both protagonists.
ragon Quest Heroes II - ...and I can't continue this one until I've done the above. For reasons. Yes. >.>... <.<... >.>...
WWE2k19 - I'm not even close to unlocking everything, and I haven't even touched MyCareer. Furthest I've gotten in Showcase is Bryan VS Cena 2013. He won't let me get all the challenges! >_<
Want to Play:
Kingdom Hearts III - Gonna have to put this one on the back shelf until birthday, and only after preordering Shadowbringers.
Soul Calibur VI - Hopefully the price will drop so I can get this with KH III

Updated:
My guild closed down their ESO branch...which I'm happy about because I wasn't that excited to try it again.
Good news is they are diving into FFXIV until Pantheon is ready! So at the end of the month when I get my new rig, I'll get to have some fun with 14 for a while and get back into what I always considered a great game. My crap guild before just wasn't supporting my efforts there. Now I have a real group of people ready to take on the content! I'm excited!
And since they all stopped pre-Heavensward, I'm the most experienced person they have...I think. Either way, I'll be able to help out and push people up fast.
Now I just need the funds to arrive so I can get my new rig....one more week...

Crossing off Doki Doki Literature Club, which was an easy win due to the length. Added a number of games to my Not Yet Bought list; two Etrian games, and the latter of which is likely to be the swansong since the game format won't survive past the 3DS due to the lack of dual screen. I also added Persona Q2, which I expected would be coming out this year, but we didn't get a date until recently. This is starting to look embarrassingly full and the year's still young.

Etrian Odyssey II is done! I like a good dungeon crawler sometimes, and it's one of the better ones. That said I also decided to skip the optional bonus dungeon and any quests associated with it. Not interested in grinding and I'm not a big min/maxer. I just like to slap together a party of interesting classes named after characters I like and have fun.
Though it feels a bit early to be adding on to my Should Play list, I realized that I have no portable games on there, and because I'm starting a new carpool next week I may want something to play that is easy to pick up and put down. Thus, I'm adding Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City.

Crossing Code:Realize ~Wintertide Miracles~ off the list. Not sure what I'm going to play next. Probably either Liar Princess or going back to Divinity: Original Sin.

Finally had an unexpected game completion to add to the list with We Were Here. There are actually games that never end up on this list due to being games without endings; the things I play with my Friday night computer gaming group. Things like World of Warcraft or Heroes of the Storm because there's really no end to them. But We Were Here actually has an ending, so here we go.

All right! Got my Divinity: Original Sin on and finished what was supposed to be my massive chunky RPG of last year. Instead I ended up doing about half a chunk then and half a chunk now. I'm not sure I can finish another long story-based RPG this year, but there are certainly candidates in my unfinished pile. (And for the record, I'm not considering FFXV in that category, because I don't plan on being a completionist with it. My expectation is in the 40-50 hour range.)

Crossing off Persona 3 Portable, which feels like an easy win given that there was less than twelve hours of gameplay left. Not entirely sure what I'm going to tackle next. It's not going to be Persona Q2 though, since I'd like to pick up something short and fun for $5-$10 at this year's Steam summer sale and that's less than a month away. This limits my options to things I might be able to finish before then, or things that are okay to be interrupted.
I might focus more on Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City since I've already been using it as a filler game and I'm not quite at the halfway point yet, so there's a lot left. Or I might work on Soul Calibur IV or Persona 4 Arena since being fighting games their story modes are shorter than an RPG (though Persona 4 Arena's is quite extensive for a fighting game).

May has been interesting what with PS+. Currently Playing:Borderlands - The Handsome Collection - It was free on PS+. Two whole games in the series for free. I've actually been enjoying it so far that I might save up to buy the first one. Gonna have to wait a while on game 3, though... In The Queue:Tales of Vesperia - Definitive Edition - It was a choice between this or KHIII, and this won out. That and it comes out in a few days as opposed to the end of the month. Ni No Kuni II - Revenant Kingdom - I got the DLC for it, so I am ready once I get off my ass and finish this backlog. Still Playing:Final Fantasy XIV - Shadowbringers at the end of the month! So excited! Elder Scrolls Online - Summerset - Was able to get that chapter on sale... just in time for Elsweyr to drop. fml... >_< Gave Up On:Final Fantasy XV - Learning what I have of the novel, the fact that they cancelled the DLC at this point ended up being the last straw for me. Tabata, I liked Crisis Core, but you sir, are a hack. Should Finish:Regalia: Of Men and Monarchs - Not sure why I never touched this one after the prologue. Maybe because I'm too much of a wuss to play these strategy games without a guide... >.> Dragonball Xenoverse I & II - I know I haven't done everything there is in either of these games, and I probably should have saved some dough for the season passes. Oh well. Dragon Quest Heroes - I need to finish this second playthrough so I can say I've played through with both protagonists. Dragon Quest Heroes II - ...and I can't continue this one until I've done the above. For reasons. Yes. >.>... <.<... >.>... Final Fantasy VII (Original)Got this to hype myself up for the Remake. And for Nostalgia. Got the superior version though, so no Executive Produce. Want to Play:Final Fantasy VII Remake - You're my last hope. Give me an experience that held me like the original, or I'm sticking soley to XIV from now on. And the original. Have Finished:Secret of Mana - Finally got off my ass to finish this, and didn't get another crash. Platinum'd!  Kingdom Hearts III Sacrificed my copy of WWE to play this. Waiting to see where the series goes from here now that the Xehanort Saga is done... |

Finished Bad Apple Wars, but even though it wasn't on either of my lists, it was a backlog title, so that's still a win in my quest to whittle down the number of games I haven't played or finished.
I was planning to get something at this year's Steam sale, because I like to pick up something a little off the beaten path, but honestly my medical bills are making me depressed at the moment, so I think I'm gonna pass for now. It's not like I don't have enough stuff on backlog.
Not sure what I'm going to play next since I have surgery in less than two weeks and I hate starting something that's going to end up disrupted (and I'm assuming I'll be tired and in not that great a shape afterwards). It might be time to go back to Etrian Odyssey III: The Drowned City so I don't have to worry about plot.

Forgot to update this with Final Fantasy XV and Death Road to Canada. I'm still working on polishing off the FFXV DLC so I'll be busy for a while and I'm not sure what I'll pick up after that. I'm holding steady though! Eight games have been removed from backlog and eight were added so I'm even right now.
Finishing ten games in a year is a pretty good pace, though I've only been able to get through FFXV as fast as I did (doing as much as I have) due to all my medical leave. Even without it though, I'd still be ahead of last year.
