Looking around the internet, this seems to be a more common trend than I thought, people needing multiple attempts to get into and finish the games, lol |
Specifically for Xenoblade?
My thought is that they are a very different style of games than I am used to. I typically HATE HATE HATE JRPGs. They are unnecessarily complicated, like Disgaea 5 (which I gave up on playing after a few hours) or are beyond boring and repetitive (Project X Zone). Xenoblade Chronicles borderlines on too complicated, and for a while it did feel that way to me. X, on the other hand, isn't borderline; it's just flat out too complicated. When a game has a armor, skill tree, and class tree, with literally hundreds of thousands/millions of different combinations, it is just too complicated. I want to spend time playing the game, not worrying about which combo will get me that edge to beat a boss, and too often JRPGs make you depend on those skill/gear combos in order to beat the tough fights, or you have to grind like crazy like I had to in XC1 for the last few fights.
