disagree with me all you want i just cannot enjoy these games. i come to this series for a multitude of things such as how creative you can get with team building and great replay value. this game lacks that. add onto it the sheer slowdown of it all makes me never wanting to revisit it outside of my original playthrough. i thought it was pretty good back then but now, i never wanna touch this again frankly.
im not as negative on the game as many others but i do feel like this disregards platinum and thats the best one. although if youre a newcomer and want to experience gen 4, this could be a worthy purchase! it has quality of life features like exp share that make the tougher fights not as challenging as the original game. veterans hate this and i agree with most of it.

Cannot believe that after how bad I thought of the base game, I absolutely love this. They took everything that worked from the base game and made it better. The combat Is so satisfying to pull off, going back and forth between blade and driver. And the sidequests arent terrible anymore! I did a good amount of them before beating the game. The story was still as good as ever but that hasn't been a problem throughout any of the xeno games so far. I want to give it a 10 but it might be too soon for that.
