I think it's one of the worst game I ever played in my life.. I need to tell to tales of Aliseee the new warrior of the crystal, everything began when she got throw in a city with new indication except a NPC that gave her 50 gils which you can do nothing with them, after that she had to spend around 20 hours on the wiki to even understand how to start the game correctly which lead to a series of the worst dungeons ever which you have no maps from them if you don't buy the map for 3000 gils. Each story mission her mental state went even more and even more crazy when she realized x mission would take 2 hours because the zone have 9 types of this monster, take 10 minutes to respawn and they were 10 fellow adventurers doing this mission. AND THEN suddently a story started out from nowhere about an evil bad guy coming back and bla bla bla don't kill the beasttribes except, she wanted to kill them after all those shitty dungeons with them, you can't tell me they aren't evil to the poor Aliseee young adventurer. Thus this story started, Aliseee got it by random flashbacks and she went to the shadowlord shitty dungeon to finally fight him, with the help of her trusts companion, we was able to defeat him and finally open the path to the apparently good FFXI story

Also a Filler episode happened when a veterant of Vanadiel went to help her, give advice and 500k gils, I guess Alisee e-girl power have some future in this dark world that is vanadiel

Cool game which introduced me to the Zelda series but was lacking some depth.

Game is very open and doesn't really tell you what to do. Quests are quite hard to follow and it doesn't really feel like a story quest but more like side-missions.

Played 3/4 through the game but couldn't find the energy to pick it up again.

Fun game with nice little mechanics but could be executed better in terms of story, quests and other little things.

It's pretty much like the first game, but slightly worse than the first game. In other words, there are newly added mechanics and a more complex gameplay, but it cannot provide the feeling of journey that the first game gave as successfully as the first game. Some mechanics undermined the flow of the game (such as the constantly breaking sail), and the use of much less fuel and limited repair tools than in the first game sometimes caused me to go back and start from an old save. So why was such a gameplay choice made? Why can't I move the ship manually when I'm in trouble like in the first game? The game generally prefers underwater cities and wide oceans as its settings, and there are very nicely designed levels with its unique art design, but it is a rather monotonous choice in terms of variety. As a story, we explore ancient civilizations (even though I don't understand it) and the story eventually connects to the first game. As a result, although I do not find it as successful as the first game, FAR: Changing Tides still offers a pleasant journey experience like the first game. The added mechanics are not bad and I liked the connection to the story, but my gaming experience was quite interrupted by the bad aspects I mentioned above. But it doesn't hurt to try, if you liked the first game, you may like this game too.
