I quit playing xeno chronicles because the combat system got so old. I didn't even understand it despite reading about it over and over. Same with the crystal crafting and the skill tree. I. Just. Don't. Understand.
Well, it's only two more than you thought... They're long, but I'd say the series as a whole is worth playing. It's pretty much the best JRPG series when it comes to continuing a single, overarching plot between titles.
Most don't do it cause it creates too much of a barrier to entry for sequels. Like, if you find yourself bored with Trails in the Sky FC, you can't just skip to 3rd. You have to play through FC and SC first, otherwise you won't understand what's going on in the story. It's like a book series, essentially, and there's tons of attention to detail. I usually don't care that much about stories in JRPGs, but this franchise is an exception because it does them so well.
i'm looking forward to steamworld dig 2 when i get a switch. it's getting pretty good reviews and apparently is more of a metroidlike game than the first one
Because I can never stop playing pokemon, I am replaying Silver for shits and giggles. The true beginning of the pokemon games, imo. RBY was just the beta test.
Shockingly came to know that the local version of the game comes without english language and voice, so it was hard totake seriously with the horrible german translation and voice acting.
Gameplaywise I'm not quite sold. Reminds me a lot of Siren with all the stealth elements where it feels like there's always only one solution for a problem and if you can't guess that one you're dead...
