Whether it be a series made in the past console generation or an older one you played for the first time, what new franchises have you played in the last couple years that you became a fan of?
What new franchises have you gotten into lately?

I've been on a new franchise spree lately. For now I'll mention that I'm really enjoying Final Fantasy VII so far.
Well, this past summer I found a cool little game series called The Legend of Zelda. I think some of y'all have heard of it.

The only one I have that fits this is Tales.
I really haven't delved into any other IP recently as hard as I have with Tales. But I played my first Tales in 2015, which is now over half a decade ago...
Still, it was a slog buying the copies available in Europe since a few of them are rare and they're such long games that I've been playing some of them for the first time recently, so I'm still burrowing into what's available as more releases.
I've beaten everything available to me now at least twice though, cept that one rare game on the Vita. I don't have a Vita and buying one plus the one missing Tales game would get me well into the triple figures and it isn't worth it.
Still... Tales is my answer.
(I did play the first two Halo games recently but I didn't vibe with them enough to call myself a fan of them)

Rune Factory - First found this series by trying RF4 on my 3DS early last year. Loved what I played and bought 4 Special for my Switch. At some point I plan on exploring more of the franchise. It's such a charming series.
Fire Emblem - Found this one through Smash. Played Awakening early last year as well and have been hooked on it ever since. I've played most of the series at this point, actually. My entrance into the SRPG genre as well.
Trails - I was introduced to the Trails series of RPGs through a friend on SF. Didn't do much about playing them until the latter half of last year. As the walls of text in my blog and comments elsewhere can attest, I've come to adore this series. FC and SC alone are some of the best games I've played. It's in my top 3 video game series I've played, without a doubt.

In the past couple years? Well, I got into FromSoft's games in 2019 when I decided to try Dark Souls on the Switch. I bought Persona 5 when I first got my PS4 a little later that year and was immediately hooked. I bought a PS Vita just so I could play P4G. I also got into Final Fantasy around that time. I had tried Final Fantasy before, but I never really got into it 'til I played XV. If we're talking more recently, I just started playing the Bravely Default games and I'm enjoying them so far.

Dark Souls Remastered on switch, then two years later I'm decked out with a PS4 and the full fromsoftware collection
fantastic devs, fantastic games
I played Panzer Dragoon for the first time last year. I had a lot of fun with it. Right up there with Star Fox 64 and Kid Icarus: Uprising as one of my favorite rail shooters. Looking forward to the rest of the games being remade.

i played my first atelier game 2-3 years ago and have been gradually working through them since then
It may be cheating, but I've been playing a lot of Hitman 3 lately. Although I own the previous two games in the series, they never really clicked with me, nor did they really keep me around for an extended period of time. Hitman 3 is the first game in the series where I really experimented and messed around and replayed the levels that the Hitman franchise wants you to.
ok I'm definitely saying Yakuza now since I'm certainly going to be getting the rest of the games in the series in the near future
Gravity Rush too even though we probably have seen the end of it, and I took a liking to Grandia too
and I'll echo alit w/ Panzer Dragoon, I'll be on the look out for the 2nd remake
