20 hours with my little sorcerer. Pretty fun game so far. To be a strong magician totally worths it.

Likewise, I want to like and play this SO BAD but surviving even starter fights are so obtuse. Why is Japanese game design like this? Why is everything so fucking cryptic to the point of being impossible to understand? I can't rescue Quina and that's, like, a fucking starter quest. What the actual fuck.

Wow, endgame really snuck up on me. And in true JRPG fashion the endgame is probably twice as big as the game and exponentially more grindy. I’m debating whether I want to grind out the true ending or if I just want to play Dragon’s Dogma II.

Failing a quest early on in the game due to the lack of information indicating that specific quest order mattered is locking me out of a lot of quests later on in the game. I guess that’s my punishment for not following a guide, maybe?

Good lord, this game sure do loves itself some wolves! I feel like I'm swimming in a sea of wolves, especially when trekking around at night.

I really like this game but it does piss me off that there are frequently no warnings when progressing certain quests will cause you to fail other quests. Especially when the game keeps telling you to progress other quests if you’re stuck in a certain quest. It’s annoying because I had one quest that required me to find someone in a specific location, but I hadn’t located that area yet. Also selecting the quest didn’t provide a quest map icon. I accepted another, completely unrelated quest, and I failed the previous quest. And then of course the game immediately autosaves, so I can’t correct for something I was given zero warning about.

I can’t believe I ever bounced off this game. It’s so much fun. It shares many of the pleasures one finds in a From Soft game without remotely being a Soulslike. I really can’t express how much of a difference time makes, and that when you play a game can have such a significant impact on enjoyment.

The weight restrictions are a bit aggressive. I went on a single quest, after dumping every superfluous item in storage, and just loot inside the quest area had me nearly encumbered. And even with distributing things evenly amongst my pawn everyone was pretty close to heavy. We just can’t carry nearly enough of spoils from a single quest produces that …

The weight restrictions are a bit aggressive. I went on a single quest, after dumping every superfluous item in storage, and just loot inside the quest area had me nearly encumbered. And even with distributing things evenly amongst my pawn everyone was pretty close to heavy. We just can’t carry nearly enough of spoils from a single quest produces that result. Maybe there’s some skill I need to improve my weight restriction.

Ok, I think I'm now official, officially into it. I wasn't even upset when I lost most of my skills after I changed vocation and kind of had to start from scratch, lol.

Ok, I think I'm now official, officially into it. I wasn't even upset when I lost most of my skills after I changed vocation and kind of had to start from scratch, lol. I got ambushed by about twenty dire wolves and a cyclops, and I came out pretty unscathed. And then about six or so more dire wolves showed up with some undead just as I was looting that first group and I came out of that without issue as well. Not long ago I would have been unprepared for that kind of ambush, but I think things are properly falling into place.

I feel weirdly ambivalent about this game. I think I enjoy playing it, but simultaneously I don't. I want to keep playing it, yet I don't. When I'm not playing it, I want to jump in and play. When I'm playing it, I get tired of it and want to stop.

I feel like there's something really great here, but it feels like pushing a boulder up a hill. And I don't mean it's hard, or that I don't enjoy its friction. I think I like both of those things immensely. I'm just exhausted when I play it. And that might mean I'm in the wrong mood for this, but I'm deeply afraid if I drop it yet again I'll never come back 😔

Kind of bummed that I got locked out of a quest without any warning because I completed some other random quest. They were completely unrelated.

Eh, I don't know about this. I feel like I'm hitting the same wall as I did last time. I think I appreciate what this game is doing, but I still feel kind of lost.
