This game deserves GOTY status IMO. The combat, story, characters and soundtrack are absolutely top tier!

    Yeh it looks cool, but it’s the gameplay that always turns me off with RPGs, I just can’t deal with the combat. It’s a shame.

      I mean to each to their own, and I’m not gonna try to be one of the people trying to convince you your opinion is wrong, but saying “I don’t like the combat in rpg games” in my mind sounds like “I don’t like the main character in Sci Fi movies”. Baldurs Gate, Skyrim, and The Witcher are all RPGs with entirely different combat systems… seems odd to me to to say you’d play none of them for that shared reason

        *turn-based JRPGs

        Though I don’t really enjoy those other games either… Maybe it’s more the pacing? Hit me with constant challenging/engaging gameplay or interesting story and I’m happy, but then RPGs aren’t quite either. Too much downtime/filler perhaps.

        Anyways, plenty of other games to play, to each their own indeed.

      Same for me, I never touched a Final Fantasy (or alike) game and never will, but because of the parry and dodge mechanic I loved E33
