I liked the change in the story elements as well, it was actually done quite nicely. I just wish there was more interaction between the characters. It's bad enough that most of them lack personalities, but there's little reason for why they keep journeying together because they're so disconnected from one another.
It's pretty good. It's nothing you HAVE to play RIGHT now though.
Thanks! It was kind of the opposite with me. I played through the main story and only did hunts when it was convenient and I didn't have to go out of my way. That changed when I got the strategy guide and realized how much I was missing out on.
I also don't really care for MMORPGs. I've tried them, they just don't appeal to me. They're complete money and time sinks really. Rarely do I feel any kind of accomplishment when playing them.
Haha it's cool. No matter how much I dislike those games, I can't bring myself to sell/give away/destroy them.
On another note, I really need to get a Vita...
How you react to the grinding in the game will mostly depend on how invested you are in doing everything the game offers. The optional hunts offer a more goal driven way of grinding, so if there's a boss you can't beat, you can just go off and do some hunts which will build your levels without you even realizing it. Just the act of traveling from location to location completing hunts will net you some experience.
I agreed completely with your comment until the Final Fantasy VIII part. I can't deal with that game. That's at the bottom of my list of Final Fantasy games, right along with the mockery that was X-2.
Ugh what a subject to be considered an expert on haha. I'm glad you enjoyed it! You should defintiely pick up the game if you can.
Thanks for reading! Trust me, not being a FF fangirl will serve you well in the long run. I have permanent issues now haha
Glad I could be of help in your decision!
Definitely holding onto the controller. I'm a big fan of artbooks for some reason. Even after I've looked through them, I feel the need to come back every once and a while.
