I too am late to the XBX party and I must say that this game is frigging awesome. Started playing it a few weeks back.
A few thoughts,
I'm like 22 hours into XBX, level 19, mostly just exploring the map and doing side missions right now. Really cool game.
Also, for anyone else who might get into it and missed out on the hype. Watch the Nintendo Treehouse videos and the 'Survival' videos on YouTube prior to playing the game. While waiting for an external HDD to arrive, I watched those videos over the course of a few days and I was getting so hyped for it, lol. The wait must have been excruciating back when it was first announced.
Also, I mostly play on the gamepad. It's totally functional and playable. I seriously have little to no complaints at all with this game.
A few thoughts,
- It's not as obtuse as some people make it out to be. I guess it would be if you have no previous experience with RPGs, but it really isn't that bad.
- The soul voice system is weird (NO HEALING AT WILL?!?!?) but I seem to be getting the hang of it and the game alerts you as to which art you should use (I think it does at least, ha). Point being, I can fight things like 6 levels above me and it's usually not an issue.
- The music is so awesome!!!!! I'm not an anime fan by any means and I was kind of dreading the music but seriously, it's great. Even the hub world music that people complain about. To me it's like, XBX is super fast paced, you're running and doing these huge low gravity leaps, etc. When I'm in New Los Angeles I'm just upgrading and doing what I can to get back outside. The music in New Los Angeles helps keep the energy up, it can get repetitive but that to me just means I'm wasting time and need to get back into the world.
