| Vodacixi said: I played like three and a half hours so far. I got to the first open area in the game. So far my only compaint is combat. It's super slow, even more than in Xenoblade Chronicles. Having to stand still to attack, the sluggish way the characters move while in battle mode, how when you use anchor shot you have to stop attacking and look around to get that damn potion and the fact that many times you'll have to lure monsters one by one because for some reason there is a fucking level 17 bird flying in circles around a group of enemies that I want to kill.... Maybe I'll end up liking it, I don't know. Maybe when I get more than two characters and many blades this will turn into something fun. As for now... it's pretty bad. I enjoyed the original Xenoblade combat far more than this... even at the start when you only had Shulk and Reyn. |
It gets a lot faster, auto-attacks fill up the Arts ATBs quicker later on, also you get skills that allow you to use full Arts at the beginning of the battle which speeds things a lot.
Of course, it's going to be a mix, some enemies are tougher and will take longer to kill, but with combos and chain attacks, even those become fairly easy once you figure out the easiest combos with the blades you have.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
