Particularly had a great time in the first hour or so, not because I didn’t enjoy the rest of the game, but because of the experience of the game’s difficulty. Often in a jrpg (this ain’t a “j” game but… clearly there’s some Mother here) you might have to grind a bit against weak enemies to ease your progression. In Hylics there’s a bit of openness to progression, so everyone’s experience might be a little different. Mine personally was getting my hylic kicked any time I ran into an enemy , eventually cowering my way around and avoiding them I amassed enough money to buy an item that spared me the blind status and I could fight my way to recruiting the first ally, which greatly improved my chances. Something about the experience of starting out beneath even being able to grind against the first enemies is going to stick with me.
