XCX was my first JRPG in several years actually!
People call this game repetitive and full of fetch quests - and in some aspects it is - but I don't think that's a fair assessment. The fact is that this game is VERY BIG and VERY COMPLEX. And because of that - it's really best to play with as much spontaneity as possible with very few preconceived notions on how you'll actually progress in the world.
You just don't easily get from point A to point B. You go to point A and while trying to get to point B you got to point X, point X.1, point X.2, back to point A again, over to point C, point D, and then you remember you had to go to point B - but now point D looks really fun. And after point D, you check out point E. Finally 10-15 hours later, you get to point B, but only because you were on your way to point F.
I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016
