....like a week ago, after basically playing it like it was my job for a couple weeks. (i am employed now, thank god)
It's really good, and if you're concerned about playing it without playing one or both previous entries.... don't worry about it! I kinda think they did the game no favors by slappin' that 3 on there. I mean, it's definitely connected to them, but the actual plot of the game is still compelling even if you haven't played 1 and 2. I personally had only played XBC 1 before, and had no issue following along. And anyone who would say you have to play 100-200 hours of JRPG to play this one is waaaay out of pocket... or in high school.
Great cast, good anime melodrama, great side quests, fun combat, INCREDIBLE music, slick job system. I would die for Eunie.
kinda thinking this will end up being a "what i'm playing" blog. 2022 is the year i got over the stigma and decided i'm a JRPG guy, so i'm making up for years of ignoring the genre (with a few exceptions... i'm not very internally consistent). so expect some of that.
currently playing... final fantasy x remaster, for the first time. i like it a lot, and i'm mad at myself for ignoring it for 20 years. foolishly, i didn't realize it wasn't an ATB final fantasy game until a couple years ago. why can't they all be like this?
