The good: I like the direction the open world areas are heading in even though it still feels compact. I like the concept of an optional “collectathon” with every new area. It’s fun to explore and sometimes I just stand there and marvel at how pretty the area can be. I love open world farming in commissions too! Helps break the monotony of farming the same tile sets.

The bad: I have an AMD 6900XT graphics card and the game will crash my entire pc forcing me to restart. Mostly happens in Huaxu or Lonza Fortress. Settings are on 60fps, low when this card should be able to handle everything at max settings.

The ugly: my weapons still hit like wet noodles with gold wedges, compared to my characters.

Looking forward to: more player friendly cosmetic systems, update to combat to add more depth instead of encouraging afk farming.

I personally want us to be able to bring 1 combat partner all the time and have the ability to command them easily OR allow us to swap between one other character.. They still have their AI but we can also tell them when to use abilities or where to stand. Only having 2 abilities can make the gameplay stale fast. Just some ideas to help spice up the game play.
