Joke's on me, I guess.
When I first saw this game I had zero interest. It looked like the combat was simplistic and the gameplay loop was basically just entirely built on fetch quests. Well, I wasn't wrong, but shockingly those things work here in a way that is highly satisfying. Over 17 hours later I am well on my way to 100% completion having experienced a story that I thoroughly enjoyed with characters I fell in love with along the way. I am sad that I can't jump right into Hundred Heroes now, but excited for when that game does come out and I can reconnect with the crew here in Rising. The writing really does help hold this together, along with quick fast travel and just fun enough combat not to get bored. Really glad I gave this a chance.
