I know I can't be the only one who was eyeing this game up when it came out on Switch, but was wondering if I'd ever get to play it because I'm not one to buy consoles.
Lo and behold! 2019 is a nice to to be a PC gamer. A lot of people are upset about the pricing. Either way, I've wanted to play it for so long I would have payed full price for it regardless. If this is the direction successful JRPGs are going for Square-Enix - with the likes of Dragon Quest XI and Nier: Automata - I want to support that, particularly when they are released on my platform of choice.
I know there was another thread made around the time of the Switch release, but it's got a bad name and seems to get lost in the shuffle quite easily. Weeaboo forum is very lightly moderated these days, but if any staff sees this and feels like merging the old thread into this one, it would be much appreciated.
Anyway, hoping to get some discussion going about this when it comes to a whole new group of players. Anyone planning on grabbing it right away? My greatest hesitation has been concerns about lack of difficulty, but it seems as long as you're not grinding excessively, exploiting things like high-level equipment stealing through save-scumming, or playing the character chapters using meta-knowledge, it can offer a decent challenge. From what I've seen of the combat, it reminds me quite a bit of the Shin Megami Tensei series in terms of weakness exploitation and turn-pushing, which is absolutely just fine with me. Also, I know it's a fair amount different, but the SaGa vibes got me hooked too.
Very much so looking forward to Friday. Been waiting for a nice relaxing and lengthy JRPG to sink into for awhile now.
