After over 100 hours in this game I feel like I have finally got a decent handle on how & why it owns. I'm in chapter 6.

...but is it art?

I stalled out in the middle for awhile and think that's probably the weakest part of 1-3, but the rest of it was great and the ending stretch was my favorite of all of them

XC2 could have been amazing if not for the gacha mechanics and gacha level grind on some of them blade quests

the gacha grind ws the dumbest part of the game but its fine as long as youre not tryin to get all the rare blades. its not like theres not 300 hours of game there even if you dont get em all lol

thinkin about it i think endgame combat in 2 was my favorite in the series, elemental seals/seal breaking for 10s of millions of damage to all enemies is way more fun than chain ttacks. obviously i liked 3's combat nd class systems too but blowing up a full elemental seal combo and incinerating an endgame nm

lol I got sucked into the gacha poo poo for a while trying to get a certain unique blade. I went salvaging for hours before realizing I don't give a poo poo and ignored it the rest of the game

there's also some hidden bullshit counter where you're basically guaranteed 2 or 3 Unique Ultra Rare SSS blades during a chapter, but if you keep rolling you have like 1% chances for anything worthwhile. Kinda silly

I went back to 2 last year after a long break to do the torna dlc. briefly poked around my old endgame save, did a couple gacha pulls and got kos-mos lol. way after she would've been useful

It's a shame too because the blade quests were all really good and you only get to see a small fraction of them

They really should've let you buy blades at a certain point since money served like zero purpose in the game

I really liked the ending of 3. Hell it's probably got my favorite cast of any JRPG? they're all great. Not a single lame character in the entire party

Tora and his blades were the only real weak link in 2's party imo, they just didn't really give him much to do. Morag and Zeke are fully win.

I hated Taion at the beginning but he grew on me. I like that you get sense of growth from all of the characters.
