Really enjoyed the story and characters and the combat is fun albeit not really in depth. No real RPG mechanics whatsoever either. Side quests ranged from good enough (mostly at the end of the game when they wrapped up 60+ hours of side plots) to arduous nothing.

SilentSeph 01/04/25 10:13:36 AM #20:	It's got great presentation, soundtrack, voice acting, and characters. The story starts promising but gets weaker near the end. Exploration is nearly nonexistent and whatever loot you do find will likely be 3 gil or some other trash. Most sidequests are repetitive and not that great but some of the ones towards the end have good resolutions. RPG mechanics are nearly nonexistent and so are elemental strengths and weaknesses. Combat is fun and you can do some nutty things with Cold Snap and Rift Slip but it's certainly not needed as the first playthrough is rather easy outside of tackling certain S Rank hunts at the earliest moment (the game being easy isn't too big of a detriment to me personally). Harder difficulties are locked behind the first and second playthroughs, and I hear the dlc is difficult although I haven't played it. Also having 30 abilities but only being allowed to use 6 at a time feels pretty limiting - I think being able to switch between two skill sets on the fly would've helped as many of the abilities are pretty much DOA when you get them. Despite my gripes I enjoyed it overall and would give it a 7/10 (maybe even 7.5 because you get to pet Torgal) --- Delicious and vicious, while maliciously nutritious. <cite>SilentSeph posted [p:983535037] in I heard Fi...

_____Cait 01/04/25 10:37:09 PM #37:	I feel like it wasnt even a good action rpg though. Outside of bosses, every fight can be won the same exact way. Combos are weak and you can only chain a small amount of attacks. You would think you could juggle enemies, but the game doesnt work like that. Rewards for doing well in combat dont exist. Enemy AI is dumb as a rock. It isnt even close to mid stuff in the genre like White Knight Chronicles. Its lucky that it looks amazing and has some really high highs. But the battle system isnt worth the change in genre. They were too afraid to make it complex, so they gave us a dumbed down version of DMC. --- ORAS secret base: http://imgur.com/V9nAVrd 3DS friend code: 0173-1465-1236 <cite>_____Cait posted [p:983541872] in I heard Fi...

The side quests become better as the game goes on if you care about the side characters. You can win many of the encounters with the same combo strings which makes the gameplay becomes tedious towards the end of the game. Also, the main villain is very weak in my opinion. I think Final Fantasy XVI is worth playing. --- Now Playing: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Final Fantasy I Pixel Remaster, Dragon Age: The Veilguard <cite>Scarecrow17 posted [p:983542169] in I heard Fi...

It has vestigial elements like experience and levels, but equipment consists solely of weapon and armor with linear upgrades in very basic stats and an accessory that offers a very minimal benefit to like one ability. The only customization is which Eikon power you prefer which is about as RPG as choosing what gun to use in CoD. --- https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif https://i.imgur.com/Er6TT.gif So?

Baron_Ox 01/05/25 8:31:27 AM #42:	it is an RPG, though, because of the level-based progression system, abilities unlocked through points you can allocate, and stat-based gear. even if the upgrades are minor, specific, etc., I don't see how that changes anything. iirc, the first Mass Effect did something similar. and as far as the CoD analogy, didn't the series take on some lite-RPG elements, including upgrading your weapons? --- "I could never encapsulate all my cosmicality on my own." - mr.

JuanCarlos1 01/05/25 8:57:20 AM #43:	Topic is negative and doesnt represent the overall sentiment on the game. With quality of life updates, the game slightly improved upon pacing issues since you finish a quest you can instantly go back to the quest giver. This was one of the main issues for the vanilla game. Sure the quality of those quests still hurt the game, but spending minutes on them instead of half an hour to an hour greatly improves upon this. If you like cinematic and action then it should be a no brainer. If youre strictly into deep, customizable games then not so much. But it is a good game with a meta score of 87 for vanilla game. Id say with updates and DLC that improves upon some of the games shortcomings, it turns into a 8.9 or 9. --- Mas dicen, que en las dimensiones de nuestro ser... hay muchos detalles por conocer... <cite>JuanCarlos1 posted [p:983545347] in I heard Fi...

Squall28 01/05/25 1:32:55 PM #47:	It's a fantastic game and overhated by the internet. The story is on par with the playstation era titles. The combat is actually very fun. It's like a mix of Devil May Cry abilities and Genshin impact abilities. I actually like that there are more generic enemies you can just style on. Side quests are a common gripe, but you don't have to do them and they actually got decent story later on. The Eikon fights are among the best things gaming has ever created. --- You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending. -Misattributed to CS Lewis <cite>Squall28 posted [p:983547820] in I heard Fi...
