basically the game delivers overall

shout out them folks

Exactly

Lisa is only so far in the game though. Around the point I think Lisa is at they are getting out of the pacing issues part/ once you start to do all sidequest if you are honed in it will get you. Lol I was skipping some scenes and listening to a podcast during some of the side quest

Which is the same with literally every single game ever made sidequests except maybe the Witcher 3. Lol my point is it isn't something to act like Lisa is about the game.

having good side quest, minigames and things other than the main story mean a lot to people in a rpg especially if they don't fully connect to the main story. I see both sides on this one but get you

And a lot of the actual content in the sidequests are truly boring menial tasks, but they do expand the characters and world building a bit which makes them worth it if you're into that

Beautiful thing about this game, to me, is the foundation that is built for the future. Those boss fights are unmatched, the world building and story is very very good, and they have a ton of room to make the next entry better, which is crazy IMO.

Add elements, status effects, add more RPG, more fluid exploring, etc there is only one way to go and its up

BTW, just did the boat ride Odin splitting the sea boss fight and my God, they just keep delivering

megaflare f***ing stinks

Is that the Khamahamaha skill? Haven't used because it looked like a cheat code. It is bad?

i dont want spoilers someone just tell me if its better than 15 (which i love to death)

Much, no disrespect to XV but this game is almost like Yoshi P saying "Hey XV here is how it is done"

pretty piss poor damage

only good if you pair it with the rod to my findings

id say finish the game before your final critique. you might be hyper focusing on something that is only an issue in the first 10 hours of a hundred hour game

how does the combat compare to xv

Slightly with some mechanics but not very much. It’s more God of War X DMC

I love this game so far (I’m like 15 hours in) but does it ever get harder…? I haven’t gotten even close to dying once and I’m not enjoying that aspect of my experience

no

maybe with ng+

but not at all as is

shame, I wish were we had a difficulty option for the first playthrough

In NG+ ultima blade but you have to get the gottdamnerburg in the first play through

talk to this npc, then talk to that npc > Atreus.

I’ve only played FFX, but I am interested in playing one of the newer games. Should I cop FF7 Remake or 16?

both no wrong choice here

I will say they could have removed about half of the side quests and the game wouldn’t have suffered at all. It may have actually been received better, because some of these sidquests are really good. A lot of the early game side quests are pointless
