I'm actually importing this, but while I wait for my import, I'm importing

it's much easier to play a true import copy than it is to do what everyone else is doing


as I said, all you need to do to play an import copy is to instal HBC, then get the GeckoOS app

I can agree with that a bestiary would be good, though I don't find myself caring that much - most of it is pretty obvious where to find it based upon the name, or it tells you where/what to get it from in the quest description.

I hadn't thought about that but you're absolutely right. I never know what I have or haven't killed. I try to go off what level the enemies are. I also wish there was a way to see that it was an enemy you hadn't killed.

my current biggest complaint is the damn battle voices. I want to turn them off so hard and just listen to the music. I can't find an option to do that though, or turn them down, or something.

we'll see. I just finished up all the...25 or so quests that I got in the first town. Maybe I'll actually advance the story for once.


EDIT: but of course as soon as I decide to do that I suddenly run across more quests!


Actually I'm less concerned about quests and more concerned about the Affinity Chart. This thing looks like the Bomber's Journal on crack.

I do what's reasonable and then move on. if I walk around town and don't see any ! in my immediately vicinity then I'll just move on, but I was maybe level 9 or 10 before moving on with Fiora.

This game is so difficult to gauge. Like I almost feel that best jrpg this gen isn't good enough for it and that it might deserve a spot in my top 5 rpgs list. Obviously it's still too early to proclaim such a thing, plus I may still be deluded by the fact there just hasn't been a ton of truly great jrpgs this gen so now that I finally have one it's like getting some crack.

in either case must play more.

I have a hunch that's going to end up my dilemma as well: is this just the best JRPG of the generation or is it something more? In truth the former isn't much of a statement.

I actually don't feel like I can judge this one until I've had some time away from it. I've been following it too closely for the past two years. so far it seems really good though. it's hard to say where the game is going to go and if wandering through fields will get old.

British voices seem fine to me -- a few little bits are annoying, but those are almost exclusively Reyn battle quotes. The one where he calls him a joker, and one other I can't recall at the moment. Not really detracting from the experience at all, though.
