In Diablo you can still trade though. That's a huge difference.

Because of opinions. Just play the game and be happy with your experience.

algd.  currently level 7. are you playing it ?

Yea it would be nice to trade but it's not game breaking to me. 

And thats fine... but just know that EVERY MAJOR MMO has had a trade feature for the last 13 years... and thats not an exaggeration...

I would suggest the same, to be honest. But you should watch the cutscenes on Youtube so you understand the story for when you play Xenosaga 3.
The biggest problem I had with Xenosaga 2 was the battle system. Once you hit Disc 2 (which only takes 2 hours iirc) normal battles start to get insanely tedious to the point where they are almost as long as like boss battles in other games. You can't deal any significant damage to enemies until you "break" their guard, which requires a combo of specific types of attacks (some of which some of your party members may not even be capable of), and once the guard is broken, you can deal a lot of damage to the enemies ONLY if you keep the combo going, which requires a bunch of "stock" which you gain by skipping a turn, similar to how you gain Default in Bravely Default. (It also doesn't help that some of your party members are unable to continue combos that certain other party members start. KOS-MOS can launch opponents into the air, but Ziggy can't hit an opponent who is in the air, etc.)  Once you stop the combo, the enemies Guard will re appear, and you'll do almost no damage to them again and have to repeat the process of stocking up a bunch of stocks in order to Break and then finish them off with the remaining stocks you have left for the combo. It just gets insanely tedious for regular battles, to the point where I started to feel like I was actually wasting my time playing the game. That's when I decided to use a cheat code to allow me to one hit kill anything, so I could at least see the story. I've never done that before or since for any first playthrough of a game or series that I enjoyed, but that was the only way I could justify continuing that game. Xenosga 3 however was quite excelent.

He was refering to how you start every mission on the exact same location on the map, no matter what your mission objective is or where you have to go on the map.

Oh I know I've been a huge fan of MMOs for about 16 years now. I've just never been into trading things and earning equipment that way. I don't know why but it just takes the gratitifcation out of it to be handed an item.

My big complaint is the grouping system. They seriosuly need to setup a grouping system similar to what World of warcraft has. Let me setup a LFG status so people can join if they're looking to. Let me setup a LFG with MICs required option etc. They need to fix the part system/chatting system in this game first and foremost.

I was doing a Raid with a random group I got for the Destiny LFG website and it was insanely fun and we were dying non stop at the very begining of the RAID.

That's a real Hardcore way to approach at gear bud. But I understand where your coming from.

Yeah, they should take up what World of Warcraft does NOW, and not what it used to do. The grouping system on Destiny is like organizing PUGs in the older days of WoW. Never worked... NEVER Will...
