Moon were bad, how about pirate-Earthbound numbers of random encounters that charge the main character on sight? And let's not get into the Legend of Zelda gimmick of respawning all the way back at the entrance if you miss a block window while commanding your retard AI companions.

So yeah, the mercurial game experience is like any other, but just for comparison, the same guys gave BW2 a 7.5. Think about that very carefully before dropping the cash.

Lol this is bullshit I've only been 10 hours into the game to know this and game informer...lol. In all honesty this takes the Zelda formula and runs wild combining the overworld with final fantasy, quests that enhance your gaming experience rather than just giving you money and xp.

Don't even get me started with pokemon black and white the games are pure trash compared to the rest I am surprised the sequels got even that high of a score because they didn't create anything new just rehashed on a game that was already f***ed up.

The metamorphosis aspect is genius because each time you do this you're character reverts to 1 with buffed stats and new skills to learn most familiars can metamorph 2 to 3 times.

The AI is automatically set to "do what you want" so yeah if you keep it that way you're obviously gonna have some stupid AI but the tactics can be changed in ways that make the game much more practical like focus on healing or all out attacks to defensive and support tactics.

The characters are far from being flat in fact in my honest opinion It has truly been so long since I have seen such genuine characters that don't cater to obnoxious fanservice like most JRPG's but instead focus on storytelling and making more sense of the world and game.

My first 10 minutes of playing I legitimately cried 3 times I haven't had a game do this to me since the old Final Fantasy days when the games had actually great storylines.
