Oh quite possibly they will, I just wouldn't be interested. X was a letdown for me, I was unbelievably hyped for it and it did get some things very right; Mira was an amazing world and piloting a Skell felt great. But the story and characters were dull as dishwater and in a game that long you really need an interesting narrative to keep me engaged.

Well, i also though the same but X fans argue that we can found the character development and backstories in side quests. And they are correct, that's still dumb though.

You did find out a ton about almost every character in the world through side quests. Heck, even the random people walking around the town that seemed to be just background characters end up being a part of some sidequest or another. So while you may not know them as much as the playable characters, you still find out that they are part of the church or the water facility, or a café, ect.

If you do everything, you learn about seemingly EVERYONE. It's pretty crazy.

I wasn't the biggest fan of X. I see the huge  potential, but there was something amiss. I will say that it was the BEST MMO I have ever played. I so hate how like every MMO in the world seems to have its story revolve around you being the person who goes and saves the world, the main character, ect. It just doesn't make sense that the thousands of people all running around this MMO have all done the story.

Meanwhile in X, you are not the MC. Elma is. You are just another random soldier that helps the cause and doing things here and there to improve new LA and held humanity. Like if your character dies, it doesn't matter, the world will continue, yet at the same time you helped it get to where it was.

and no I never played the online stuff in the game. All offline. Just it felt like a very much mmo game. I am also a huge fan of town builder type games, so that helps. The whole game essentially was an improve new LA, town builder.  I'd probably get a remaster on Switch, solely due to the portability of the game. The game is super grindy type that being able to lounge on couch and play in handhled while watching tv/movie would be immensely beneficial to the game. I suppose I could have done that with WIi U, and I did at times. You know, have the game on the Wii U gamepad while on different input on the tv, but it just never felt the same as the Switch does.
