Much like when I first played Lightning Returns, the time mechanic just does not vibe with me. I know realistically they give you more than enough time and that NG+ carries enough stuff over that the time mechanic becomes such a non-issue but I don't play games to feel rushed lmao.

Also I found all the characters just ????????? nothing like the characters when we first met them back in the first or even second game. They seemed like watered down versions of themselves and just so vague?

I really like the environments, especially the Dead Dunes and the whole "people haven't aged in 500 years so children have been children for 500 years but also people can't die" was a really cool concept.

Fang made a comment like "fighting together again just like the old times!" and it was just like the devs were worried to put any references in from the first game because it was 3 years before this one, I would have like something more specific like "haha hey remember when we were being hunted through Palumpolum?"

I dunno, it just didn't vibe with me, much like the first time I played it so for now I will move onto other games, maybe in the future when I can be bothered to download the mod that removes the time mechanic I'll replay it.
