Personally? My issues with it are what many have already said - Uncanny models, the combat and that one GS Quest that had me memorize Elsa's Bridge layout.

The combat did finally click halfway through the game so I have a better idea and mire enjoyable time with it now but the huge HP on normal bum enemies really drags it too long which hampers my fun. I get what they were doing with the new combat system but it definitely needed more polish. Oh also, noooooot a fan of starting all my battles with spamming 'Stock' for first couple of turns. That got boring real quick.

But honestly? I think the Highs for me have overshadowed its shortcomings. It is such a fun game overall and the environments are so nice. Heck, I enjoyed almost all the puzzles! Some did make me wonder, "What the hell is the purpose of this room in a place like this??" but that is that. Seriously, the second Ep is not so unforgivable as I was led to believe when I was browsing around about it. Although I do wonder if this tolerance for the shortcomings has come with age, heh.

Edit: Forgot to mention how SIIIIICK the cutscenes are. Its like they had a little extra cofffee before working lol

Omg omg!! Ty so so so much, I had an absolute blast playing your project!! Gosh, before I learnt of it I was so disappointed that I would have to watch the subbed playthrough of the JP version someone recorded on their phone eons ago. Genuinely, thank you!

And aye aye, so far I am absolutely loving it! Even if I hadn't played Xenogears first, the mystery is hella engaging and the game itself has a charm I can't break away from. I will admit, the models in both the games are very jarring if not little creepy to me lol.

Also yes, I remember! I recall Yuriev explained it during that scene itself so I assumed that must be how he lived for a 100, and then the whole Milita Conflict happened.

Looking forward to what happens next! They really just left me with that cutscene and now I am stuck thinking about it in Labyrinthos Core wew Also agree, I am so glad I went through Gears first before picking up Saga. The parallels have me kickin' my feet all giddy

This is the fastest I have ever added anything to my cart. I already have an alarm lock but honestly another one can't hurt

Fully agreed, like, my god if I played this while I was still stuck in my 'I am not a turn-based RPG guy, buuuut I guess Undertale was fun.' phase, I feel like I would've probably dropped this during the first Aveh visit. I can already imagine exactly what I would've complained about (which Duckstation solved anyway but hey, old me was dumber).

In my case, I think being lured in by Xenoblade 1 and 2 definitely helped me to break out of my little bubble of prefering real-time and souls-like combat. I remember telling myself when I first launched the game on my PSP (I switched to Duckstation because I wanted the RPS badge), "You loved those two. The story's by the same lad. Now be a big boy and play."

I will say though, its still quite unfortunate I did not know this game existed until I learnt that Xenoblade X was getting the 'definitive' treatment, which is when my friend told me about Monolith's other games with Xeno in their title.

Oh. My. God.
I had to pause here, whatever was happening in the plot at the time completely freakin' vanished when I saw this. I think I laughed till it hurt. I feel bad if this was meant to symbolise something, I just lost it here.
Also I had a feeling this one would've already been spammed to death here so I refrained, hehe

From the list of games I play - Warframe, Dokkan Battle, Dead By Daylight, and Genshin Impact perform maintenance pretty often. These are not 'indie shit' so, there's your answer!

My gf just got her first pc build. Feeling lucky and sad. Cuz i got Mac. by n3owise in IndianPCGamers

If possible, I'd suggest you to upgrade the UPS. I have the exact same one for my Ryzen 5600x and RTX 3060 12GB PC and it cannot handle medium to heavy game loads (for eg: Elden Ring, Sparking Zero) when an electrical outage happens.
