Mostly, and not often, anymore.. Pokemon randomizer hacks.
I just love the new diff.. wait, how world i say this..
The introduction of difficulty to the games.
Honestly, i know it's a kids game, but it's just INSANELY easy for anyone who grasps the jrpg grind concept - 5 extra minutes on each route? An easy time.
Not so much on the older games.
--------
As far as rom hacks, probably difficulty mods and translations, moreso. Chrono trigger, final fantasies, etc.
Anything else is more.. adventurous? I don't have time to test many, so i go in with a completionist goal of finishing about 100%
My current games? Ff12 international, disgaea psp, some kemco tactics game i picked up on sale last week and memento mori on Android. (Idle rpg with an artsy gacha side)
