I'm still playing FFXV, even though I've finished the story.
Loads of the dungeons and almost all of the side quests are entirely optional, so I'm cleaning those up and upgrading my characters/car. The PS4 Platinum trophy looks pretty obtainable for this game... more than can be said for FFXIV (I've played for about 250 hours and have barely gotten a trophy).
I just finished the DS version of Yoshi's Woolly World a week or so back. Anyone else play this (either DS or Wii version)? I thought it was pretty good. I doubt they'll ever completely recapture the magic of the original Yoshi's Island, but it was a decent showing. One complaint: too much repetition in bosses. There's two types of bosses that appear at least 3 times each, I believe. Granted, they are different in each instance, but I really think they could have done for more variety there. The original Yoshi's Island definitely had more variety. Also, basically every boss is three hits, with the exception of the last boss which works a bit differently. Way to make everything cookie cutter. Still there's some nice level design and some good concepts with the yarn, like using it to turn chomp into a ball of yarn you can roll like the rocks of Yoshi's Island.
I thought Yoshi's Wooly World looked super delightful but I never ended up getting it (would've been Wii U). When I read about it it sounded a bit dull/generic to play.

I played it through on the Wii U when it originally came out a couple of years ago, and now I'm slowly playing it on the 3DS as well. Graphical downgrade, but the system suits the gameplay, and I'm enjoying it all the same. It's perhaps a little too easy, but there are lots of collectables to go back for. My second favourite Yoshi title for sure
Most of the game is pretty easy, but there are a few frustrating bits that I certainly wouldn't want to be any harder. I'd say overall, it's probably a bit easier than Yoshi's Island, but it seems like it's harder to get 100%.
I remember it being fiendish getting all the collectables in the extra stages of Yoshi's Island. Pretty sure you needed to do all the objectives in one play of the level in that game as well.
I'm not counting the extra stages. Most of those are quite hard to even get through, let alone get 100%. It's also true you had to get everything in one play so that may even things out a bit, but the stuff is definitely more well hidden in this game.
Right now I'm playing Miles Edgeworth Investigations and also Ys Memories of Celceta. I'll get back to FFXV at some point too. Not in any rush there though.
To answer the actual thread question, I guess I'm playing Secret of Mana! But at about the same time I also started playing... guitar! And so far learning to play an instrument is a bigger draw in my free time than playing SoM. I'm hoping to balance these activities however and not abandon SoM.

I never bought my copy in $'s, but yeah, this is the compilation I'm talking about. The part of it I played is called "Kingdom Hearts 0.2: Birth by Sleep – A Fragmentary Passage".

Sounds a bit cheaper, but I don't know what the exchange rate is right now. Honestly cost of living and median income are better true gauges of actual cost, but those vary by region so exchange rate seems like the best comparison between countries.
Tried Night In The Woods. I like it a lot! I'm afraid SoM will be taking a backseat until I finish NITW now. I think it's only a 10-ish hour game though.

I almost bought that the other day after seeing some of the rhythm sections in it, but I think it screams PS+ monthly game a few months sown the line (plus Zelda is out this week), so I think I'll hold out.
