I wish this hadn't been the end point of it for me.  I think it might have worked well in 2D actually, if they hadn't put random battles back in.  It plays so traditionally that it sat really at odds with the beautiful 3D Xenoblade-looking world.

Sigh.  Hope it works out better for you Eof.  I seem to recall you're fine with a low-imagination JRPG: in that case this should be right up your street.

Why did that feel like such a dig

I'll play anything as long as it isn't The Last of Us to be honest

Hard for it not to, but at the same time two of my games of all time aren't bastions of innovation. Neither of them feel quite as... tired as DQXI did to me though.
