There is something alluring about the games that have stupid convoluted/grindy/esoteric systems that are prohibitive and anal(japanese) but make certain kinds of people go back. X5, Z4 and Z1 are the games I have replayed the most because they have customization options that almost nobody uses because they are behind frustrating features.
>Zero has the worst elf breeding prices.
>Zero 4 gives you like 50 different weapons that only hinder your ranking. Also most chip recipes will never be given to you in game.
>X5 gives you parts if you follow a very specific ritual, also the fact that individual armor pieces don't work.
I am off to get the Gaea armor with the Spiral wing glitch, excuse me.
