If you're a fan of Dark Souls or Bloodborne it's a great spin of the classic formula and definitely worth a look!

The new focus on Posture and the lack of leveling up took a bit to get used too, as sometimes you hit a wall and just have to get better at fighting and reading the boss instead of leveling up then trying again.
I think this is what a lot of people are having issues with as I know people that have completed Dark Souls & Bloodborne and there having a really hard time grasping the new combat system easly on and its getting to the point where every boss is using multiple moves that need to be countered differently.
Overall though after a while of learning the different moves and counters it's really smooth and satisfying when you pull off that perfect combo againsted a tough boss

(Story, Soundtrack and Areas are top notch too but I won't go into detail due to spoilers )

Well, talk about coincidence I've just reached some kind of ruins after the crystallised Lake Bresha, so you can say I'm still at the beginning of the game, I guess. So far I'm liking it, but Hope can really be exasperating; since I'm still early in the story, I'm not paying so much mind to that yet, though.

Yeah. It was about time I started it, since I had added it back in... 2015

Btw, how are the sequels? I got XIII-2 on a sale with the original, but I'm wondering whether I should look for Lightning Returns and have the trilogy on the same console.

Chrono Trigger looks incredible I’ve seen it on the top of so many RPG lists and Top Games on Backloggary I’m amazed I haven’t tried it already.
I always have a soft spot for SNES RPGs and haven’t played that many but when I do there easily some of the best games ever made Earthbound being a shining example when I played it in 2013

Ye I was the same with Tales of Vesperia I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get through it smoothly this year, as I bought the Switch Version so I can play it on the go / in bed haha

I could honestly look though this backlog all day and just oooo and aaaa at all the RPGs you’ve played over the years. Absolutely amazing collection

I’m trying to get through the long list of RPGs i’ve missed / never tried before this year starting off with Kingdom hearts 3 then hopefully getting onto Tales of Vesperia, Final Fantasy XII/VI, Dragon Quest XI and Chrono Trigger most I see you have highly rated (so good sign in my book )

Thank you!

Long time no see! I hope you've been doing well.

How are you liking Dragon Quest XI? I'm still waiting for my copy, 'cause Amerzon. It'll probably be some time before I play it anyway, since I currently have a bigger itch for some of the remakes.

Nice! Nothing more satisfying than a well comprised team. Brigitte Is amazing! I’m a Reinhardt main but have come to like Mercy as well and she’s a nice combination of the two. Finally a new hero that interests me to master! I also like Anna but she’s so hard to use at times so save her in case I need to power up a really good Roadhog.

I see your still going strong with XIV. For the first time in a long time, I've decided to take a break from it. I was really hyping Eureka up big time but wow was I disappointed.

I'm seriously getting burned out on the update trend as well. I hope it gets some fresh content soon because I already miss it.

The most delayed response of all time!!! I am in love with Stormblood, how about yourself?
