This is the third time I've started this game. It's not even that I have a hard time getting into it--quite the opposite, really. I think I ended up getting into another game, getting busy with life, or whatever else, and just never made it past …
I started this up the other night, since I have the XBone X now.
This is the third time I've started this game. It's not even that I have a hard time getting into it--quite the opposite, really. I think I ended up getting into another game, getting busy with life, or whatever else, and just never made it past the early parts of Disc 2.
There are some things that are done exceptionally well with this game, namely the class system and the "nothings."
I really like that you can equip skills you've unlocked from other classes, so that you don't feel like your progress in another class is basically gone while working on a new one. After getting the MP regenerating skill in the Black Magic line, I can switch my WM over to BM to learn it as well, while my true BM works on WM or something else. Meanwhile, they're still able to use the spells of their "main" class while they're learning skills for another. It's great. It doesn't make things super easy, but it makes more sense if you think about it realistically: you might be learning a new skill, but that doesn't mean your other talents are just gone.
Also, the "nothings." For those who haven't played and want to know what I mean, it's this: you examine everything you can in towns, fields, etc. Press A on every rock, tree, piece of metal, bookshelf--everything! Most of the time you'll get a handful of gold or some medicine, and occasionally even some XP that you can give to a party member of your choice. But the REAL treasure is when you get "nothing." Pretty early on, you meet a trader who will give you some badass accessories in exchange for nothings, and that's something that has stuck with me since I first tried this game years ago. It makes looting everything in an area especially worth it. I just find it to be a neat little aspect of this game.
