i tried really hard to like world, i really did well...

i liked the changes to armor but i hated that it meant losing out on gunner designs forever, the weird arbitrary swapping how you get talismans and decorations was very ? ? ? why.... there's like two models for each weapon, nothing ever feels like a threat, the mantles are interesting but don't actually add anything beyond occasional niche uses, the cats are effectively immortal which is great, the big "oh we made the maps one seamless area thing so there's no more load times" would be cool if it weren't for the long empty hallways that mask load times and take longer to run through than the old games loading zones, subcamps to fast travel are great except when you can't fast travel cause a lizard looked at you and won't stop being pissed off even though you've run three rooms away, the slinger and claw don't really add anything beyond making flash and sonic bombs more annoying to use

at least i got to fill up a house with cactuars and crakes and a tsuchinoko
