Apr 17th, 2012 at 22:39:11 - Rift (PC) |
Rift rolled out a free-to-play version earlier this year. You can go up to level 20 and have the usual f2p restrictions in place on mail, auction houses, trading, guilds, whispering, etc. I downloaded a few f2p MMOs recently and figured I'd give this one a whirl first since it's the one I most looked forward to. Overall, it's a solid game. There's nothing wrong with it per se, but it didn't capture my attention. It's like going out to Applebees or Chili's or one of those 'neighborhood bar and grill' restaurants. The food and service will be fine. They might have some good nachos. But you're not going to want to come back anytime soon. And all those restaurants are the same. That's Rift. It's solid, standard fare with some good nachos. What are the nachos? The nachos are the 3 or so things that make the game feel in any way different from WoW, which it wholeheartedly duplicates in every other respect.
Soul Tree Nachos - Rift has two factions with 3 races each. Any faction/race can be one of the four classes. When I first saw this I thought "whoa, limiting!" But boy was I wrong. When you select a class, Rift brings the character customization to a level I've never seen before. I made my first character a Defiant (faction) Eth (race) mage. When you click on 'mage' it suggests four specs. It gave me 3 DPS ones and a healing one. Each spec draws on three different 'souls,' Rift's word for talent trees. One DPS spec was the traditional mage who sits back and hurls fireballs. Another was more like a DoT class, like WoW's warlock. Another was a pet/summoner spec. And the mage can heal passively by doing damage or throw on some more direct healing spells. I found out later that these are only four 'recommended' specs that the game pre-made. You actually have some insane number of souls to mix-n-match to make specs, I forget, like 6 maybe, for each class. And you can have 6 different customized specs saved at once. You can switch between SIX things. So I can make one of the other classes, say a Cleric, and have a raid healing spec, a pvp healing spec, a ranged dps spec, a melee dps spec, a tanking spec and a support spec. Good lord. This is one thing I really liked about Rift. Right as a was hitting level 20, I talked extensively to another player and was asking him things. He told me how to purchase a second spec, so I made a mage healing one and went into a dungeon as a 'support' role. There are four roles in Rift, the Holy Trinity + Support. It's just really cool that each class can do 3-4 roles.
That said, the number of skills and abilities you get is a bit overwhelming, at least at first, until you begin to see the logic of it. By level 20, I had two FULL action bars of actual spells. But the beauty of it is that Rift labels everything for you, so I clearly had my 'single target damage' on one bar and my 'AE damage' on another bar. The two types of spells were mostly identical to each other, just that one version is single target and the other is AE. When I switched to healing, it was more or less similar. I had a damage spell bar and a healing spell bar, with buffs strewn about. The other skills are labeled too, 'utility,' 'healing,' 'self-buff...' It's straightforward and handy. It seems to me that with all this customization, Rift will have VERY specific roles for people to fill later in the game. So, you don't just need a tank, but you need a tank who can move like the win and self-heal. Ah, so we need a rogue who has points in all these different souls to allow her to do that. Neat stuff.
PvP Nachos - Rift actually has some (to my experience at least) unique PvP maps. You can participate in two at level 10+. One is a multi-story round library, like a gladiator pit with 3 levels. The objective is to get these relics and...I'm not sure...hold them? It seemed like the longer you held them, the more points your team got. There are a few relics in play at any given time, so players are simultaneously finding and holding relics, guarding their teammates with relics, trying to kill other players and take the other team's relics. It was chaotic and fun. The other was this maze-like wooded area with the "Fang of Regulos" in the middle. The teams each try to pick up and hold the Fang, kind of like what I figured we did with the relics in the library. But the longer you hold the Fang, the more damage it does to the player holding it, so not only do you have to worry about the other team coming for it, but you're going to die, haha. I think you can pass it to teammates as a strategy. Then you get better and they start taking damage, and they can pass it back before it kills them. I played that battleground on a holiday weekend first and there were different rules. Instead of the Fang, there were these orbs scattered all over the grounds, like 20 of them in the middle. And there were orb cleansing stations, two of them, spawned on the map. The objective is to gather the orbs and bring them to the cleansing stations. Players may carry up to 3 orbs, but the more they carry, the more the orbs slow them down. But, higher reward for the higher risk. After a while, the cleansing stations deplete and two new ones spawn. It was a lot of fun. My mage did a damn good job in PvP too. And like other MMOs, there is a crazy huge amount of tokens and currencies from PvP, and from all the other in-game activities, that was really confusing to me. I supposed that would be how WoW is to an outsider too. I mean, if I don't keep up to date with the currencies in WoW, I have to get caught up as to what is what. So Rift is probably no different there.
Rift Nachos - This is the big one, the truly unique part of the game as was marketed. Now, I feel like the Rift idea is only half unique and half ripped straight out of Warhammer Online. Warhammer Online had these world events called public quests. It was really innovative (though if you've never played Warhammer, you would think Rift came up with the idea...and if anything did it before Warhammer, I never played it and am giving Warhammer undue credit). Basically public quests were a way for people to group together, do interesting content and get nice rewards without wasting time like looking for a group or traveling to a dungeon or whatever. You simply walk up to one in the world map that is happening. You could be questing, and you walk into an area and bam! Public quest objectives pop up and you're temporarily engaged in freeing a town from looters or whatever.
In Rift, they've taken this public quest idea and built the entire game around it. The story goes that Telara (the world) happens to lie at the intersections of all the elemental planes. Fate has dealt it an unfortunate hand because Regulos, lord of the plane of death, wants to take over Telara. Telara thus has all these rift openings, basically tears in space-time that open the way for planar beings to come into Telara. So they do. As you're running around questing, you notice various things on the zone map and oftentimes right near you. First are rift tears you see on the map. This is where a rift will open. Then you see the rifts, which look cool in-game too. They're like big void zone looking places that appear. These are dynamic world events, constantly happening whether or not players are there or do anything about them. If players don't do anything about them though, then enemies will continue pouring out of the rifts. They establish footholds in the world near the rift, where more enemies can come out. Eventually a general or some commander will come out and that general will gather forces from the rift and lead an invasion on nearby towns. So if rifts are left unchecked, then the planar beings will actually go to your little quest hub, kill all the NPCs, and set up camp. It's pretty freaking cool. The only thing is that I never saw most of this up to level 20, and that's too bad, because that's what I'd been anticipating playing Rift, these huge Rift invasions happening. From my experience, it is not as exciting as it was made out to be. You can close rifts by yourself. You don't need other players. You get all kinds of buffs and skills for dealing with rifts. They're essentially just more enemies to kill. And the killer for me is that the game realllllly wants you to spend your time running around closing rifts. You are constantly rewarded for doing so and there are a handful of daily and repeatable quests to kill x rift enemies or close this or that element of rift. You could easily spend time grinding rifts. And for what? Upgraded gear, experience, the usual. To me, the rifts seem like an even easier, routine and time-wasting way to grind the various currencies of the game. Typical methods are dungeons, raids and PvP, but the rifts are faster and like I said, the game really pushes you to spend time closing them. I watched some videos of high level players fighting off these massive rift invasions where people spend half an hour just running around a zone in a mob killing endless waves of rift creatures. It doesn't seem very organized. I wish it was more group-oriented, like is someone healing, are there tanks, etc., more structured like a raid. I guess it is neat that it's dynamic, and if it's dynamic you can't just pick and choose roles and things -- except you can because of Rifts awesome character customization. Anyway, what I watched looked like a bunch of level 50s mobbing around the zone killing NPCs that weren't in any way challenging or thought-provoking.
Other things:
The story is interesting, but I'm not sure how much it moves on from the beginning. I played my Defiant to level 20, and then made a Guardian to play through the intro, which is level 6-ish, to get the other faction's perspective. Basically the Defiant's blame Regulos's invasion on the Guardians and the Guardians blame it on the Defiants. The dichotomy is very Alliance-Horde. There's not much else going on. Regulos seems to have corrupted various kings and queens of zones, and your final goals are usually just to kill whichever person it is. There's really no personality to this game. It's rather dull and humorless, and the major story is explained in the first few levels and after that seemed very patterned and didn't compel me to delve further into it. Characters also are bland. I found one NPC that I thought was funny, a knight who challenged me to best him in speed (beating his squire in a race -- his squire threw bear traps at me to slow me down), strength (destroy a wooden target dummy in one blow), and something else. 99% of other characters have nothing going for them. They just stand there, dispense a sentence or two of the same story, or give you quests.
Quests are more monotonous than most MMOs I've tried, packed full of kill x and collect x. Rift is very streamlined, so the questing feels quick and efficient, but also neverending. There's a pattern I've found. Take an area. Go kill x enemies and collect x things from the front of the area. Return quests. Pick up two more quests, one kill x and one collect x. These enemies and items are in the middle of the area. Do those, return. Collect the next pair of kill and collect quests. These are in the back of the area. Complete them, return. Now kill the little boss of the area. Every time. Very repetitive. They didn't use hardly any variation. I did one escort quest. There weren't any silly ones besides that knight. There were no vehicles or vehicle quests. They really should have capitalized on the genre's improvements in questing. So there's this weird contrast then between the game world feeling dead and alive. The rifts make things feel alive, the NPCs and quests make it feel dead. There's not much in the way of music, the visuals I find rather realistically bland, not much story, humorless NPCs, no events going on besides rift events. Everything revolves around the rifts.
One of my big expectations was to see the major city in the first zone, which is the Defiant capital. It was reallllly lackluster compared to cities in WoW and LotRO and some other games. It wasn't big, there was nothing happening, the same I said before, just a bunch of NPCs standing around ready to be practical. All the trainers are in one spot, all the pvp is in one spot, all the vendors are in one spot. Yes, it's very condensed and practical with no flare or activity.
I also wanted to check out dungeons. At some point, maybe around level 15 or so, I was eligible for my first one, so I queued as DPS. I waited for about two hours before the queue popped, which is waaaay too long! I expected 30 minutes or so, and ended up staying awake like 2 hours past when I wanted to go to bed because I knew it would pop up soon. The dungeon was fun enough, pretty easy to figure out what's going on. The players' roles were obvious, there was loot and need-or-greed and bosses and trash and pulls and marking and all the rest. It's funny talking about the practicality of Rift. They've replaced the more fantasy-ish marking in raids and dungeons with simple numbers. 1,2,3. I like the skull, purple diamond, green triangle, etc. of WoW, but I must admit, the straightforward numbers are nice. Dungeons went exactly the same as a dungeon in WoW. In fact, most of the game besides the 'nachos' that I talked about goes exactly the same as WoW. These things are basically genre conventions by now. Quest tracking, gathering/crafting professions, equipping, the map, dying, various currencies, action bars, health/mana/energy/special bars, blah blah blah blah...all virtually the same now in every MMO. Pretty interesting because I remember when MMOs had practically none of things things, or some in quite different forms than are prevalent today. Anyway, I queued as a support once I bought a healing spec for another dungeon, and got in after like an hour, to be promptly disconnected after 10 minutes of playing. That was fun too. I rather like the feel of fighting. It's not as heavy and grounded as WoW is or as responsive and quick as Warhammer was, but it's not bad. It's not super floaty like, what was it that was so bad about that, Age of Conan I think.
Players have all been very nice and helpful. I befriended a guy here in Singapore last night who wanted to use a refer-a-friend on me if I paid. I'm not paying or playing anymore, but I took the chance to talk to him for a long time about the game. He explained all kinds of stuff to me, most useful being how to purchase a second spec, which I did.
But, in the end, I've hit the level cap for the f2p and that's that. Saw what Rift has to offer to lower levels (actually almost halfway through to 50). Some neat stuff, some stuff with potential, but mostly very safe and solid MMO. I very very very much was excited to, once I hit 20, go and run through the other zones to see what they looked like, but much to my chagrin, you can't leave the starting zone. There's an invisible wall blocking your way out. I feel that is incredibly lame. In LotRO's free version, you can go explore, but you just can't pick up quests. I want to explore, dammit! I'm opening a Rift into another game and out of this one.

Apr 13th, 2012 at 05:48:31 - Grand Theft Auto IV (PC) |
I keep trying to come back to this one since like September last year, but I only play it two or three hours every couple months. I can't ever seem to sit and focus on it and really get into it. It's going the way every other GTA game I've played is, so I'm not too surprised I guess, though I wonder why I thought this one would be different. Looks great, sounds great, driving and cover system still horrible...But the story and characters were compelling enough for a while until...until there just became too much and too many! Here it is. GTAIV is like a soap opera. You are that one character who everyone's life revolves around. So in the game, everyone has your phone number, your email. Everyone texts you, everyone emails you, calls you, and they all want you to do something for them, meet them, kill someone for them, sleep with them, go bowling with them, drive them somewhere, all the time! It's as if I was playing an MMO and all the NPC questgivers had my cell phone number, and instead of me going to find them for quests, they just called me all at once whenever they want.
I found it difficult to get through one mission without another character texting me or calling me wanting me to do something else at the same time. I began missing appointments (an interview and a date today), people get pissy at me, I get distracted from my current mission. It gets annoying, way too close to real life when you're trying to focus on something or hang out with one group of friends and someone just keeps nagging you about something. Like the other day I'd been working all day and I took a book at night to go have a cup of tea and sit and read, and as soon as I sit down my friend decides it's time to strike up a text conversation. And I'm like wtf, I just want like 30 minutes of peace today with no work and no one talking to me and I want to read and enjoy my tea, not stare at my phone screen texting.
That's what playing GTAIV is like. So, closing this log for now. Maybe I'll come back to it in the future. It's a fun game. It just feels too socially demanding.

Apr 7th, 2012 at 22:22:02 - Xenosaga Episode II (PS2) |
X2 is indeed shorter than X1, if you don't count all the extra stuff, which, from looking at walkthroughs, is a loooooot of extra areas, quests and bosses. Like a lot. The walkthrough people are suggesting being level 50, 55, 60 for this stuff. I finished the game around level 40 by comparison, and clocked 31 hours compared to by 50 in X1. Fortunately I couldn't care less about all that and can move on to other things. A game has to be REALLY compelling for me to continue far past the end, or to replay it. The only recent ones I can think of at the moment are Portal 2, Just Cause 2, Gears of War games...but not Xenosaga 2! Oh, but on the plus side, the swimsuits are cosmetic. I was mistaken earlier. I used Ziggy the entire game with scuba gear, including snorkel and mask. It was awesome.
How was it compared to X1? Overall a better experience I think, much more streamlined. Far from perfect, and introduced almost as many things I didn't like as it replaced. In my first entry for the game, I noted everything I thought of that was different from X1. Some of those panned out for the better, others not, and I noticed some other differences too.
First thing, characters are indeed much more customizable, which is great. The only thing you are bound by (and using bound loosely) is the character stats, which vary. MOMO is obviously the support choice. Ziggy is obviously not going to be your healer. But this is made easy to see and functional through the much, much, much better battle and tech skill UI which tells you clearly and concisely what each attack move does. Here's the routine. Analyze a new enemy. Use the Change command to swap out party members during battle to take advantage of the enemy's weaknesses. It's simple and great. The Change command is useful for some other things too, such as swapping out low EP healers for full EP healers, or swapping out someone who is almost dead. The weird thing about all the customizability and information is that some characters come out being much more useful than others. For example, KOS-MOS was a nonentity in this game. She was physical/strike I think. Well, so is Ziggy, but he has fire too. And there are about 4 other physical characters, who have other things going for them. Jr for example is pierce, and like X1, is extremely useful for that. MOMO also has pierce now, but hers is an ether attack. So whenever an enemy is weak against ether, I put in MOMO and/or Shion (one is always in anyway for support). But this is also cool because the support characters were very capable of laying down attacks.
You have a ton of options for skills. I explained how the skills are set up in the last entry, and after playing I can vouch for the setup. You can learn whatever you want with whatever character and completely customize their role in battle in that way. I found some mostly mandatory skills like the various +defense ones, then later on there were some sweet skills that did +10% EP and HP, one that gave you an extra skill equip slot, which I filled everyone's with one that doubled all equipped skill effects (so my +10% HP and EP became +20% for everyone!). There were, however, many absolutely useless skills. And, since you have to learn all the skills in one class to get the class point bonus, it sucked because typically I wouldn't want all the skills, so was forced into spending more skill points just for that bonus. Many times I would want only one skill, especially when the others were ???? still.
Which brings me to my next point, which goes along with the first bit on there being so much extra to do after you beat the game. That is, there are SO many skills and there is no way in hell anyone just playing through the game like normal would come remotely close to learning but a few of the later ones. There are 16 meta-level 4 skills. I learned 1 of them with a few characters. For meta-level 3 there are 32. I learned about 5 with a handful of the characters. There simply aren't enough class and skill points. So my initial joy at the prospect of seeing what all these skills are was diminished once I realized I would never see them in action. I would also never even SEE most of them, they still being ????, because the way you unlock about 95% of them is through the Global Samaritan Campaign quests.
The GSC is soooo lame. There are 36 of these quests you can do, which typically involve running massive errands for NPCs that span literally the entirety of NPC towndom and going back through dungeons that you've already done. I did the ones I could throughout most of the game, and enjoyed getting the rewards that unlock skills and combo moves (which are 100% useless by the way), and typically enjoyed doing the quests themselves. They were fun little diversions, and occasionally I was rewarded with a cool quest that involved puzzle-solving. There were more and better puzzles in X2 than X1. However, the pacing of the GSC was terrible. I had completed maybe 20-25% of them before going to the last area. ONLY before you go to the last area can you return to Second Miltia, a giant friggin planet full of NPCs. You were restricted from going the entire game. AND, it's the only time you can go back to the Foundation, where there are also 8 million NPCs. Needless to say, if you wanted to spend an obscene amount of time doing fetch quests for NPCs, which mostly involved going and finding other NPCs whom you have no doubt spoken to once or twice over the course of the game, but are expected to go find AGAIN in the mass of NPCs on all these worlds, you could do this. And I did, for about an hour, before realizing that I would rather be finishing the game. Ultimately, the skills you unlock and especially the combo moves, are of little importance. You don't need them to win battles or beat the game. This means, ultimately, the GSC is functionally a waste of time. Hooray!
A few more notes on battles and things...Skill point multipliers do tend to give less x2 and more x4 and x10. I got a x10 on a boss battle and got 3500 skill points right at the beginning of the game when regular fights with multipliers were yielding like 35. Those characters immediately learned a lot of new skills!
Save points! Save points are great in X2. They are more frequent and they heal your characters' HP and EP now. In X1 all you had were items and spells for that. Here, you have WAY less items, which actually got tricky at points, with like Revive, which cost a ton of EP to use, because I only had a handful of revive items throughout the entire game. So you could get down to low HP and EP if you were near a save point. And, your reserve characters, the ones not currently in your party, their HP and EP restores as you walk around, so you can use them to heal after battle, and next time you come across a save point, they'll be full up too. Save points were very handy. I hope they keep them like that in X3.
Rear attacks! I was really confused by this at first. Enemies regularly surround your party, and attacks from the rear cause like 1.5 more damage and crit more. I wondered and wondered how I could get a rear attack. Running to enemies from behind on the map didn't work, and you can only move one character in a battle to an enemy's rear. I wrote this down though. After 10 hours of playing, I got my first rear attack. It began happening more frequently after that, so maybe it has something to do with agility or something. No idea.
ES battles! These are a step up from the crappy AGWS in X1, but they're far from perfect. Again, pacing is weird here. The game opens with an ES segment. The next ES segment was 16 hours in, over halfway through! Remember, there is a bit of a different battle system. This was confusing to come back to after 16 hours. However, the second half of the game did an outstanding job mixing ES and regular combat. The final two dungeons, both of which were awesome besides, had this cool ES/regular character synergy going on. You had to ride the ESes a while, then get out and go on foot and like unlock a door so the ESes could continue, then get back in the ESes, then go a ways, get out, get in, get out...It was really neat. But ES segments are so simple. Their combat is just a dumbed down version of normal combat. Instead of break zones and all that, you just either choose triangle or square, find which one is the enemy's weakness and use it. So ES battles typically went like this: square, square, square, square, square, square....
Some of the level designs were awesome, like the last two especially. The next-to-last area was called Labyrinthos, a name that should terrify any RPG player. It was more clever than punishing though, as most of these were. The other that stood out was this entire portion of the game where the party dives into MOMO's subconscious as she's undergoing analysis after Albedo got in her head and took the Y-data at the end of X1. Her subconscious is so cool. The fighting areas are the same wooded setting, but you play through it twice, once in summer, and once in winter, different enough each time. It's just really pretty and neat, and the whole rest of the subconscious part of the game is amazing for how it presents story. Speaking of story, KOS-MOS was again a nonentity. It focused heavily on Jr. and MOMO, and Shion and Jin. The end introduces mystery on the part of Ziggy and chaos, so maybe X3 will clear them up.
Battles in X2 were typically easy enough, fast-paced, and didn't present much challenge until the end when enemies began actually getting smart and using air, down and boost to their advantage. There were some great boss fights. Everything with Margulis was incredible, especially the cut scene sword fights between him and Jin. The Cathedral fight was neat, as was the final token fight with Albedo. There was one I'll point out as stupid. This boss would analyze me and cast a spell like counterboost on HP or counterboost on CB or counterboost on something. I have NO IDEA what counterboost on HP means. I know he counterboosts, but I don't know how to make him stop. His counterboost attack was mean too and he'd do it like every attack sometimes. I fought him once, died, fought him twice, was going to look up on a walkthrough what in the world his ability meant, when I somehow got lucky and won with two critical strike special abilities in a row with my one remaining character who had about 5 HP. I looked it up anyway, and apparently what 'counterboost HP' means is that the boss will counterboost (means he will boost and take a turn after every time you attack, so you can't attack without taking massive damage) if your HP is equal to or higher what it was when he analyzed you. Counterboost CB means that he will counterboost when your EP is higher or equal...and the other one was counterboost when your boost gauge is the same level as it was when he analyzed you. There is NO WAY to glean that information from him without playing it over and over and over and over and then only if you stumble on such a weird explanation. I'm glad I hit a lucky streak.
The story is getting even more awesome and convoluted. Basically once you kill something, it turns out that something even bigger and badder was behind it (tends to phase in from hiding). Kill that, and there's something bigger and badder behind it, etc. Really looking forward to starting X3, but I think I may take a little break and finish GTAIV since that's been like 6 months ongoing. It really depends on if my roommates leave today/how much work I get done today/if I have the house to myself to turn up the volume loud or not.
What I'm really looking forward to in X3 is just how they change the battle system and menus and things again. I wonder what they'll keep from X2 or change, what they'll bring back from X1, what they'll add completely new, etc. I like seeing all the iterations and what works and doesn't, etc. For example, I bet combo moves are gone. I bet there is yet another skill point system in place. I bet the mech battles are revamped again. I hope they keep the break system because that was fun.

Apr 2nd, 2012 at 00:34:08 - Xenosaga Episode II (PS2) |
First item on the work agenda Monday morning: recap Xenosaga 2 play yesterday. Sort of relevant to work...
I finished Xenosaga 1 Saturday night and immediately launched into Xenosaga 2. I'm going to call these X1 and X2 from here on out (and X3 when I get to that one). There are inevitably many things I forgot to mention about X1, and some will probably come up in the entry. I played 7-8 hours of X2, and for starters, I noted everything that was different from X1.
1) Mech battles - There were mechs in X1 called AGWS. They were utterly useless. Mechs weren't mandatory to complete anything. All they did was drain my money when I upgraded them, and I only upgraded them because I thought I might need to use them. They also served to confuse me because I still don't know how to properly equip them or what all their various equipment slots are. There were like 3 weapon slots on each, then for each weapon slot, you could equip L. Shoulder, R. Shoulder, L. Alternate...All in all, it was like 10 different slots, and I never understood which type of weapon went where or anything, so I would just buy one of everything and see if I could equip it anywhere, which I usually could not.
X2 begins with a mech portion, but different mechs called ESes. It seems like these mechs will get more use in X2, if for nothing else than that there are specific mech portions. Also, there is a completely new battle system just for the mechs! I can't say really how it's different because I think I've only been in one, but i know it is. I have, however, done a bunch of normal battles, and I know how those are different than from X1.
2) Reworked battle system - There are a handful of differences. First, the battle gauge is tweaked. It operates mainly the same way except that the empty slot is now a random slot. Oh, and the game in the tutorial actually tells you what the specific effects do. In general, there is a lot more information about mechanics available for X2 over X1, which is a good thing because X1 could be difficult to understand exactly what the various symbols for attacks, elements, and whatnot meant. Anyway, the battle gauge still moves from Critical (+50% chance to crit) to Boost (increase boost gauge more on that attack) to Skill Point (increased skill points if you kill the enemy on this one AND also the only one where the enemy doesn't get a perk for attacking on), and then Random. Random has a few, including nothing, Ether (increased ether attack/healing), and a couple I only saw work once or twice, which are Lose Turn (if a character is attacked, s/he loses a turn) and I don't remember the other one. I like the new random slot because it makes me think even more on my feet. Like the Ether one is a great opportunity to heal or unleash a strong Ether attack. It's also dangerous because the enemy can do the same thing.
Second, you get boost more quickly now, and it's shared among all party members. So no longer are you bound by who can boost, but as long as they aren't currently in queue, they can boost.
Third, you don't guard anymore; you stock. Stocking might increase defense too, but I'm not sure. Everyone has a stock gauge that goes up to 3 (or 300 -- each block represents 100 and there are 3 blocks). Normal actions on turns give 25 stock, so 1/4 of a bar. Taking the stock action gives one bar. These are good for saving up and unleashing powerful attacks, which I'll come back to in a minute.
Fourth, the attack system itself is a bit different now, and I like it better. Everything is labeled clearer and easier to understand. Instead of having to L1 through 3 different layers of what an attack does, you see them all listed all the time, and you see what they do. So now, for example, one of Jr's moves will just say like square, square, physical, ranged, piercing. Or one of chaos's moves will say triangle, square, physical, close, aura. It's so much more streamlined. Tech points and actually learning moves are gone entirely. Instead, all characters have all moves, and they're all available from the beginning.
So in the previous game, you had AP, and you got four per turn and each action was typically two points, so you could attack twice. You would assign different attacks to different buttons, square, triangle or circle (for special attacks). Square was typically near and triangle typically ranged, but not always. And you basically had to memorize what attacks you'd put in each. You had to memorize their distance, their element, their damage type, and which attack followed. It was really complicated. Now, since everything is laid out for you, there's no memorization involved, so you can focus on strategy, of which there is more. Now, enemies have 'break points,' which are combinations of moves you input to break their defenses and cause them to take more damage. They have 3 zones, low, high, and very high, which are A, B, and C. Square is A (low), triangle is high (B), and circle varies. Melee characters don't necessarily have a very high option. You have to figure out each enemy's break point, which might be, for example, AB. So if you use whatever attack is square, triangle, then you break that enemy's defenses for a turn. This is great because you can chain attacks by boosting other characters and by making smart use of the stock gauge. Got 3 boosts and everyone's stock gauge filled to 3? Then you are about to open a can of whoopass on an enemy. Further, some characters' circle attacks knock enemies down or launch them into the air, opening them up for even more damage because they're doubly vulnerable. I think it's an additional 50% damage for breaking them, and another 50% (so 100% total if you cripple them with both) if they're downed or in the air. And even better are new double attacks that you can learn. I've only seen one so far (I have more but haven't had the correct characters in my party to use them yet), but it's a chaos/Jin attack that does a ton of damage. These have requirements, like for example this one each character had to have 2 stock. What you do is on one character's turn, say Jin, you boost the other, say chaos, and select combo attack. If they've both got 2 stock, you get to do the power attack. This is vicious if the enemy's guard is broken and he is downed. So, to sum, there is a huuuuuge potential to plan combos, stock, boost, and battle gauge in X2 that simply was absent in X1.
And one more thing, they introduced positioning relative to enemies, so you can be facing their front or their back (and they yours). This so far has been a pain for me, and I quickly learned that when enemies attack me from behind, I need to kill those pronto. Usually what happens is that two will be in my party's front and one or two will be in their back. Attacking from the back scores more critical hits and/or more damage. Very very dangerous. The Move command is still there for me, but so far it looks like I can move one character around to an enemy's back (it looks like side, but is it the same thing?). I'm not sure how to put the front/back thing to good use yet, but I'll play around with it. It does feel a little cheap that enemies routinely attack me and they get to start at my back. I've never began a battle where I was attacking their backs.
And even one more thing, statuses are a bit different. There are now low and high statuses. Low statuses are your basic low-level poisons and things. They disappear after 5 rounds. High statuses don't go away until you clear them. Poison-L, for example, does 10% HP damage per turn, while Poison-H does 25%. At one point I was in a boss battle with two giant mechs, and I cast Physical Defense Down on one, which I'm pretty sure is a low status, but his robot buddy couldn't dispel it with the low status dispel! I realized at some point, when I thought "Wow, this boss battle is easy" that the other mech spent every single turn attempting to dispel the handicapped one. I laughed pretty good that dispelling the status effect was absolutely the #1 priority of the enemy. As soon as the debuff went away after 5 turns, I cast it again and she went right back to casting dispel over and over.
Overall, the battles are much quicker, but possibly harder, than X1. At one area, I had MOMO, chaos and Jr. MOMO kept on dying. Her HP is still low like in last game, but man, I was using HP and EP potions and Revives like crazy. I'll bring possible reasons up in the skill point section next. Boss battles so far have been easy. I've carried over my Skill Point gauge killing from the previous game, and it's going great. I feel like I'm racking up the points. I also think they made the x4 and x10 multipliers a little more common.
3) Skill points - Okay, I love this change. Tech points are gone. I will miss using leftover tech points to max my stats, but I will not miss using tech points to power up attacks. Since they give you all your attacks in the beginning, there are no tech points. Instead, they've completely reworked the point system. There are also no more Ether points or Skill points in the same way there were last time. This is partly because there is no equipment this time around either, so you can't use Skill points to extract skills from equipment that doesn't exist. Instead, they've merged learning skills, abilities, ether spells, and all that into the new Skill points and Class points system. New Skill points are what you earn after battles instead of getting all 3 different types of points last time. Class points you earn so far from bosses. In X1, there was basically a skill tree that you used Ether points to open up. In X2, there's a new kind of tree. I guess you could call it a solar system, because that's how they've represented it. Let me try to explain.
There are four overarching meta levels for skills. Underneath each meta level there are a number of class levels (8 for meta levels 1-3 and 4 for meta level 4 -- All class levels are called A-H, so Class A, Class B, C, etc). Within each class level are four skills to learn. It costs skill points to learn the skills and class points to unlock the class level. When you learn all the skills in a certain skill level within a class, you unlock the next meta level. Each meta level increases the amount of class points and skill points necessary to learn the more powerful abilities embedded within. It's a deep series of menus, but it's cool. And the solar system thing, each meta level is represented as an orbit around a star, and each class is a planet. Once you complete a class, a planet appears on the orbit around the star. I'm tingling with excitement to see what unlocks when you learn all the available skills and open up the star itself (if that's even possible).
Most classes' skills are available to you, however, some have ????, including all skills in class H. I really, really, really wonder what these are. I have unlocked two so far, and they are badass. One lets you recover 10% EP when you stock. The other I forget, but it was something handy. You unlock these skills from completing side quests, which really aren't side quests anymore since you kind of have to do them to get these skills. I suppose they are optional skills, but it's alluring.
4) Side quests and learning combos - Like I said above, side quests feel mandatory. There weren't really side quests in X1. There were a couple things you could do for a couple NPCs here and there which didn't matter much, and there were some pretty terrible minigames. X2 already does a better job integrating the quests and making me want to do them. This is all tied in with having those teasing ???? in the skill system that I want to uncover because for the quests I've done so far, I've gotten two skills, learned 2 or 3 combo moves for my characters (which seems important for battle) and getting an item. The side quest system is tackled with the Global Samaritan Campaign, a cheery adventure where you need to help people with their problems. There's an inventory icon for it and everything, I think 36 cases for you to solve. So you have to go around talking to people to hear their problems. If you've done it at the right time and with the right character, then the GSC window pops up and you Start your mission for that person. I'm no fan of the 'talk to this person at the correct time with the correct character' but I'll get the ones I can with Shion whenever it's convenient and happens! If I want more later, I can look them up.
5) Characters - Finally, X2 is artistically different than X1. They changed a handful of the character models to make them less anime-looking and more realistic. Shion, KOS-MOS, MOMO, chaos, Jr...they all spent time in wardrobe. I like the new looks, as it mostly makes them look older and more mature. In X1, I didn't really like how MOMO looked like a 6-year-old and Jr. looked a few years older. I understand why they're supposed to look young, but I like that in X2, they bumped the appearances up a few years. MOMO now is more like a tween and Jr. more like a teenager. Shion's is a bit sad though. She looks better, yes, less anime, but at the beginning of the game, Allen accidentally steps on her glasses, so they figured out a way to make her lose the lenses and gave her extra pretty green eyes. It's silly I guess, but it bothers me that they had to make her look prettier. Oh, and there's also a whole lot more 'hey baby' in this game. It shows up once you begin exploring Second Miltia with a handful of NPCs calling her hot or commenting that she's a woman, stuff that wouldn't happen with a male. One of the side quests also involves plastering the city with posters of women in lingerie for the Miss Miltia beauty pageant. It would be one thing if the posters weren't of women in lingerie, another if people didn't continue commenting on how hot Shion is and how she should enter, etc. etc.
Finally, they got some new voice actors. I like MOMO's, as her voice is less whiny. And her battle voice is cool, sounds like it's coming through a CB radio for some reason. KOS-MOS is different and lame. Her voice is too high and she doesn't sound convincing as a robot. She was great last time. Shion's is also different in just a 'worse voice actor' kind of way. Minor gripes. I'm sure I'll get used to them, and I suppose they got some more new ones for X3. The characters on the whole seem more mellow than the last game, although there was one huge and failed attempt at a humorous scene in this one. The story seems a bit more straight-forward, and I feel they've done a good job reminding me of X1 and explaining what is going on now. There's a lot of good backstory, including the beginning ES sequence. You actually play when the Song of Nephilim was first activated during the Miltian Conflict. Cool stuff!
Aaand, I got perks from having save game data from X1. Several characters got swimsuits, not cosmetic :-(, to equip. The swimsuits add +1 agility, which is over 10%! Agility is a super rare stat and goes up to like 7 or 8 on most characters. It affects attack speed. They also do an additional 10-15% damage and gain +10% skill points. Nice!
Looking forward to going through this one in a week and getting a start on X3 soon.
