Is FFXIV worth playing if I love Final Fantasy, or is it just another shitty MMO?

if you're the type who creams their pants at references to other titles

>>717473278 (OP)

>>717473346
At that point you should just play Stranger of Paradise and Dissidia.
They're both fanservice galore and are actually really good games.

>Is FFXIV worth playing if I love Final Fantasy,

Yes. Sakaguchi loves it more than XI. Also, by playing it you'll make /v/ seethe like there's no tomorrow.

>>717473278 (OP)
You don't "play" FFXIV. It's not a game, it's a movement.

>>717473278 (OP)
Unironically, if you love Final Fantasy as a franchise, you'll soiface and clap at all the references throughout the entirety of XIV

Will SE nerf the unreasonably difficult new dungeon?

>>717475520
cry about it - them adding an easy option to trusts doesn't affect you

>>717475742
It does because it allows invalids to continue playing the game and fucking it up with their retarded opinions. If they can't do simple dodges at level 100 and think the game part of the video game should just be a formality that lets them win automatically then they should be watching youtube videos. They'll get an identical experience.

Yeah, a video game. Not a youtube playlist. If you want it to become a youtube playlist then you can just go to youtube and find one already posted for you.

For OP FF14 is shit but that might just be my inability to stick with MMOs. Way too time consuming.

L take. All the “good stuff” you’re talking about was literally 10-hour unskippable MSQ fetch quests and ARR's sleep-inducing dungeon spam. You didn’t miss anything except Gobbue mounts and people pretending Titan EX was hard. Game plays better now than it ever did. Cope harder.

blame nomura for introducing normalslop

>>717476501
Titan EX still is pretty hard if you do it MINE or as an Unreal way back. Don't miss the constant barrage of dungeons or the lack of QoL we have now though.

>>717473278 (OP)
Loser here who's a "legacy player" that has been with XIV since 2010 when it really sucked, and can confirm it's just WoW themepark with either heavy references or straight up rips models and characters from other games ala XII or Disddida NT and lately FFXI. We've had crossover events with XIII, XV, as well as XVI and two previous XI events and loads of stuff that are retellings of things like FFIV in a set of story patches or even nods to The After Years and Mystic Quest SNES.

I stay subbed since it's like $7-$10 a month for me with my lifetime discount, but it'll run most people $12-$15. If you end up on Primal > Excalibur somehow as a free trial or paid player, let me know and I'll set you up for life as a mentor of sorts and possibly a guild / Free Company invite if you'd be interested.

>>717473278 (OP)
If you love final fantasy, its at least worth playing through for the story and basically just treating it like a single player game that happens to be in an online game/world.
Free trial goes up fairly far in the story through multiple expansions and you could probably bang out what it doesn't in a single month of sub if you like it. There are lots of measures in place that make it so you don't even need to interact with other players to do the story dungeons and such as well.

>>717476492
>HOW DARE YOU COMPLAIN ABOUT UNIQLO SHIRTS DON'T YOU KNOW TIFA WORE A MINISKIRT FINAL FANTASY ALWAYS HAD THIS
Final Fantasy always got more difficult as you progressed through it and has plenty of infamous difficulty spikes, so that's fine too right?

Why do trancers scream "modernslop" when they follow shit like this lol?

Modernslopsisters........ h-he's right........ We need to formulate a response NOW!!!

FFXIV threads on /v/ are one of the few places I can get somebody consistently embarrassing themselves by attacking strawmen like a rabid wolf, ever since Twitter became infested with groypers and bots. Just completely rat fucking insane and being so committed to it they can't say it's ironic anymore. Used to be I'd people-watch geriatric diaper fetishists arguing with a new-blood diaper fetishist and her Discord daddy. Nowadays I get to watch a guy argue with himself for months about whether throwaway t-shirt cosmetics in an MMO that doubles as a VN are aesthetically acceptable with gear modeled when the PS3 was in its twilight years.

We can take some guesses that it's related to World of Warcraft rage pigs that /wowg/ and other WoW resources don't like too much either, and there's a whole "Zodiark trancer" incident that would take a while to explain that's also a factor. In theory it's one of those deals where there's a small group of people that believe they're online game supervillains and that if they shitpost and spam hard enough, the game will die; think of Team Fortress 2 where it also had a small cabal of bronies and morons who were trying to exert control over the game by botting the livid hell out of its matchmaking servers, up until Valve pretty much lined them up and killed them all permanently.

A lot of hate comes from people hating others enjoying the game currently when it's on a slow downward trend. But I would argue all the haters are WoWfugees who came to game in 2021 and are now finally leaving. Or it could the fact that the game is now home to a lot of second life players (due to modding) because the the $15/m. While owning a home in second life can cost $50/m and up to $200/m depending on the size.

Its like they genuinely thought Wuk Lamat would be a smash hit with the players. I don't understand it.
Its the same thing they did with Lyse in SB - annoying character, too much screentime. But they dialed it up to 11 from like 7-8.
And it couldn't even be just the VA because the japanese players didn't like Wuk Lamat either.

>>717479872
Personally, I hate on those enjoying the game currently because they're part of the reason why the game is getting worse.

Why would the wowfugees hate the game? It's just continuing the same trajectory it had since they started playing in Shitbringers.

Those enjoying the game albeit with the classes becoming more simple opens the door for fights becoming harder. Which is my cope, and all the shitters complaining about hard fights are another cancer entirely because they're the ones who the devs are making the classes simple for. The funny thing is they'll download all these character altering mods but not a combat assist mod which exist.
>>717479941
Because they want WoW 2.0 but FFXIV isn't WoW. The current trajectory is something everyone in the community is complaining about.

>>717479872

is it faster to rank up pvp milestones and get trophy crystals by spamming frontline or CC casual?

>>717479941
>Why would the wowfugees hate the game? It's just continuing the same trajectory it had since they started playing in Shitbringers.
Basically they ran out of backed-up stuff to do so FFXIV's stopped being a "forever game" for them and they don't know what to do about that. You'll also see the folder dumper in this thread bitch a lot about how FFXIV "needs" to adopt the update cadence of a gacha game, heedless of the low quality and low content of typical gacha updates.

>>717480189
Frontline daily roulette and then CC casual after.

>>717474836
I really liked his ongoing twitter posts following his journey through the game, especially when he recognized things he created years ago and got excited about it.

>>717480145
>the classes becoming more simple opens the door for fights becoming harder.
It opens the door for SOME fights to become harder while making the game painfully boring to play outside of those few fights. Complex classes still allow for difficult fights, but they also allow easier content to be engaging and enjoyable. We had plenty of difficult content before Dawntrail.

>>717480232

>>717473278 (OP)
Yes to both questions. The first answer *could* also become a no depending on just how much you dislike shitty MMOs, but judging by you loving Final Fantasy I don't have faith in you having refined tastes like that.

>>717477329
It's actually harder with trusts because they won't help you fight your boss if they kill before you do. In parties you can help people once you're done.

I can see how it would be difficult for people even though the mechanics are pretty basic from the bosses.

>>717475218
I unironically see no issue with this request. They are even offering to give up all loot and only for Trusts.

>>717480232
>heedless of the low quality and low content of typical gacha updates
Funny you should bring up gachashit because I've been playing wuthering waves and it's bi monthly story updates shit all over xiv's msq patches that drop every 6 months.

>>717480357
you want more content like this?

>>717480198
Yes, but unfortunately it's a Japanese company so it takes them years to even implement something new.
>>717480349
I do agree that complex classes are always fun and it raises the skill ceiling. Unfortunately mmos are becoming simpler as they're trying to age with their playerbase and attract a younger audience.

>>717480232
>FFXIV "needs" to adopt the update cadence of a gacha game, heedless of the low quality and low content of typical gacha updates.
But it had higher quality, more content dense updates at a faster cadence back before shadowbringers (and even moreso before HW). They're even splitting updates up as much as possible into perfect 4-week spaced gaps JUST to milk sub fee from people. It's insane.

>>717480357
Around 6 to 10 hours of story every four months? Fie! What a laggardly pace! It can't compete with 40 hours of story every four years from major game releases, let alone the 1 hour of story and 5 new characters that completely invalidate my old ones every 5 months from my favorite gacha!

>>717480448
Go watch youtube. You'll get the exact same experience. The issue with that request is that it maintains someone who doesn't want a video game as a part of the community which on a large scale drags down the design of the video game by trying to appeal to them. They want a frictionless moviegame and they should fuck off and die. You should too.

>>717480357
>tranny seething that successful companies dare to cater to the straights with good content cadences
no surprise there

I can see how it would be jarring for a story only enjoyer is my point. SE has trained people for years not to expect any real friction in story related duties, especially dungeons. I wish they would persevere and overcome but people don't do that anymore.

>>717473278 (OP)
It's literally made as a containment prison for someone dumb enough to like square shit so have at it

>>717480526
>But it had higher quality, more content dense updates at a faster cadence back before shadowbringers (and even moreso before HW)
Wha? Dawntrail's content drip is shaking out to be pretty similar to the exact expac you're comparing it to, Stormblood. Up to and including a new limited job. What do we mean more content, like, more dungeons? Everybody forgot dungeons existed a week after introduction, they were just Expert roulette fodder.

>>717480454
FF14 players don't play other games therefore this is clearly a psyop

>Game is basically a visual novel
>Story is boring slop with the most 1 dimensional cardboard cutout main cast with zero flaws and who all get along, zero interesting character dynamics, zero drama, they may as well all be the same character
>Story is 90% yapping, there are zero stakes, constant fakeout deaths, and the power of friendship always saves the day
>Constantly pandering to fags and fujos by sidelining or killing off every attractive female character
>Gameplay is sluggish tab-targetting trash, revolving around repetitive rotations, and cheap DDR fight design where all difficulty has been offloaded to because the classes themselves have been dumbed down and homogenized beyond recognition
>Zero RPG elements, no builds, every Black Mage plays the exact same as eachother
>There is literally zero content if you aren't a hard-core raidfag or ERPer, and even as a raider you barely get content (12 savage fights per expansion and 1 to 2 Ultimates)
>Latest expansion was a disaster in both Story and content. Tranny-voiced furry Mary Sue destroyed a decade of narrative goodwill
>/v/ still defends this game ax the best MMO ever made

Why? This game is the literal personification of everything/v/ claims to hate and yet there I'd a dedicated defense force for this game here. Even other FFXIV communities like Reddit, the forums, etc agree the game is in a very bad state right now. Yet /v/ STILL loves it. Why? What is it about this game that has enraptured this board?

>>717480669
This is why we need to escape to the timeline where Steps of Faith was never nerfed.

All of these criticisms apply to every single square enix game

>MMOs MUST adopt the gacha game content cadence

>>717480641
Pretty much my feelings as a 2.0 player. Pretty sad state of affairs desu.
>>717480723
This is true. There are still redeeming qualities to defend thoughbeit. The game also has literally no competition though so if it shuts down we're left with even worse slop to play. Might as well defend.

>>717480930
Every time some /v/irgin is begging for RPG mechanics they slip up and say they basically want multiplayer Caves of Qud, insinuate or even say outright that all old MMOs were like that, get pissed and outraged when that wasn't the case because that's retarded, and then crash and burn for the thread's whole remainder. The kind of guy that believes Accuracy is something every MMO should have, especially when its breakpoints to hit literally anything in your own level range are extremely strict.

yeah, the 'we are gonna have devs actually play cosmic exploration' probably shouldn't have been said publically. and the 'DRS was too accessible' part too

>>717481030
Yes, RPGs should have stats with accuracy. Yes, RPGs should have breakpoints you have to consider when choosing your gear. That's how RPGs work. Yes, you should leave my game.

>new summer event
>two homos front and center in the promo art
>shitty modern scuba glam reward, gender neutral, of course

I really wish we knew what assblasted Dumpy so much that he literally cycles through his entire folder in every single thread about this game. He's not a WoW player that's certain.
I wonder if he's that faggot that lost his mind because a /vg/ tranny turned him down years ago.

>>717481174
watching yoship squirm as he tries to keep up with his own doublespeak has been entertaining at least.

>>717481194
If I have to consider it every single time I go up a level range it's not a choice or consideration, it's a chore. Put some hatchmarks in your back and stuff an apple in your mouth so I can roast you over an open fire. "Your" game, fuck off, if it were your game you wouldn't fill your diapie that the game doesn't fit your idea of it.

>>717481254
Being invested in a game for a decade and then watching it nosedive the second it's handed off to a new team.

>>717481291
It did fit my idea of it. And then people like you who never should have been playing in the first place showed up and started crying about how it's a video game. Leave my game. Yes, MY game.

>>717481349
That's not it. This is mental illness on display.

>>717481254
Whoever he is he does have /xivg/ experience because he was malding really hard about "Jizzdha" for a while some months ago, and the obsession with modded characters and gooning modbeasts is an /xivg/ holdover. The lalafell fixation is also kind of an /xivg/ holder, some ebins over their have made "I HATE LALAFELLS" their entire personality before losing what little popularity they had.

He's not particularly picky on which other ragebeasts he cozies up to, or else he wouldn't have paid AthenaAreia a second thought and he wouldn't model his own posting habits after Barry's.

>>717481851
Wmile didn't "get a lot of hate" because of the type of music.
It was disliked exclusively because of how out of place it was when they played it during the story.

>>717481901
These threads do nothing of the sort. One schizo samefagging pretending to be curious about the game then ultimately turned off by his own messages shitting on it doesn't count as people.

>>717481941
I disliked it because it sounds like a cut song from a disney movie.

>>717481194

That's not how MMOs work and it never has been. Metafaggots optimize everything to the point that there's no reason to include build options because everyone is just gonna use the same setup for high end content, the mid tier players are just gonna copy the high end players and the casuals will continue to not give a fuck. This was never your game, you were allowed to visit by the raidtrannies that monopolize the dev's ears. If you don't like it, fuck off. End of lesson.

I disliked smile because it was a shit song that sounded like it was played off key.

I think you could make it work, but as a montage song for rigging a train with enough explosives and armor to crash into the enemies lair is a strange choice, to be nice.

>>717475218
How does that part work for DPS? I only did it as healer and tank, first as healer where the doom killed me and I'm gonna blame me being so rusty for not noticing it could be esunaed since I haven't played in like a month and a half, but once you know it should be trivial, then I did it as tank having being warned I need to interrupt, it gave me mountains of time to do it but again being rusty I took so many vuln stacks from being focused on looking for the interupt instead of looking at the floor that I died soon after the interupt, I'm sure I will pull through next time though.

All that said as not that hard as it is those bosses probably should have been slightly less tanky, but the mobs between bosses in that dungeon actually seemed to be less tanky than your usual dungeon mob which is nice, tanky bits between bosses is the least fun part of the game

all this talk about tural, I think I'll have some taco bell tomorrow.

>>717482109
Dungeon design is better
Raid design is better
Occult Crescent and Lunar Exploration have problems out the ass, but its still preferable to how horribly shit like VC, EO and Island Sanctuary flopped.
I'm optimistic about the new Deep Dungeon too.

By comparison 6.1 - 6.5 were all shit patches with nothing.

SAARS PLEASE RESUB

>>717482329
ShB is THE example of this. I remember monk being in an absolute STATE for months because it got gutted in preparation for the EW changes. so monkies were just playing a mechanically gimped job until EW released and overhauled it.

I must admit Wuk Lamat was actually tolerable in 7.3.
It makes me laugh a bit that they finally found the perfect balance of how to present her in the last patch she'll actually be relevant.

Not everyone is a metafag. If you don't think RPGs should be RPGs then you simply shouldn't play RPGs.

its a shame, I was expecting him to have like a scene of rejection from the public for being the new king and a child to the guy that attacked their city or something

The actual Vivi is Calyx. Vivi's whole story arc was finding out that because black mages are just golems he had a very limited lifespan and had maybe two years tops to live.

All streamers did this. None of them can actually read and just jumped on the stupid meme like the cattle they are.

>>717486658
more like u gotta be blind to hit that what the fuck is that face

>>717486621

>>717486573
The gloves and hat are part of the set though, you need them to make the outfit in the glam dresser

>>717484374
>>717484036
All the real talent left FFXIV and SE a decade ago, formed their own company and now sell horse pussy

>>717486701
1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16

>>717486487
>pressure to pay
????
Most of the items in the cash shop are useless or old shit you could have gotten for free from events. Most of the exclusive stuff is ugly as fuck and I'm not really interested in mount collections.
I got Cloud's bike and that's literally all I need.

>>717486701
all but 16

>>717486701
All of them.

>>717486701
4-10 + tictacs

>>717486701
4,5,6,7,8,10,12,14

Considering the constant defense of modernslop glams and modbeasts in these threads (by the same posters who defend this game as a whole), and considering the /xivg/ community (the only other FFXIV community on 4chan outside of /v/ who have crossover with these threads and universallydefend the game still), it has finally dawn(trailed) on me just who is still left defending FFXIV in its current state on /v/ :

It's the modbeasts themselves, the same ones who reside in xivg. FFXIV threads on /v/ are still overwhelmingly filled with whiteknights who defend Dawntrail and all the current ills with the game up to and including modernslop and modbeasts is because the xivg modbeasts have invaded these threads and are actively camping them 24/7 to defend their ERP simulator. There has, fir some unknown reason, been a massive community of Secondlife ERPing modbeasts who took up residence on vg and have invaded /v/ to defend their literal Second life, and they're the vast majority of the remaining FFXIV players on 4chan. Which is why, despite literally everywhere else is overwhelmingly negative about the game right now, 4chan us still overwhelmingly defensive of the game. The only FFXIV posters left on this hellhole of site are ERPing Secondlife modbeasts.

the classes looks good but I'll wait for global

>you need

that's where you're wrong. i don't NEED to buy them.
plus the appointed gloves are basically the same shit

>>717486701
1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13,14, 10-2 if that counts

>>717486852

Well yeah we already knew that. Still, trvke

>>717486705
>All streamers did this
i'm not shocked
they need clicks to keep their lifestyle or they are backing putting the fries on the bag
but one thing is lying to keep the grift and another is eating the lies and parroting them hoping it sticks

>>717486829
You were funnier when you were stalking lalafells

>>717486292
Sure is because she was always carried on there not being many ffxiv youtubers, but she has zero charisma to make any non ffxiv thing interesting and she just turned off so many people with the rage bait

>>717487052
touched a nerve eh xivnigger

>>717487052
its because the lalas are ignoring him

>you can bench wuk again
10/10 patch

>>717486881
Is the reason you haven't played 3 is because it's old?

>>717487256
they all are, but from the pixel era is the one with the least iconic characters

>>717487256
it has a reputation of being obsoleted by 5 is why most people skip it. it also wasn't available outside the DS version until pixel remaster

>>717486829
It's the same /xivg/ troons in their eternal melty over zepla abandoning them for genshin and for daring to play the bad wizard game. JK Rowling was right about failed men in dresses being the biggest biohole haters

>>717487318
>it also wasn't available outside the DS version until pixel remaster
You've been able to emulate it for decades tho. And it's a whole different beast from FF5. The job system is more like a puzzle game of figuring out what comp is expected for each dungeon and boss fight while FF5 just gives you a ton of tools and lets you do crazy shit.

he's now samefagging lmao
go back obsessing with lalachads

>>717487256
three never came out in the us until the 3DS remake so only 12 people have played it

>>717487393
playing any NES FF is torture when you have the remasters

>>717487256
3 is pretty much required playing if you've played 14. Yoshi-P is obviously a huge fan of it.

>>717487457
I had a great time playing FF3 NES.

>>717487472
he's also fan of DQ, and i'm not touching those either

>>717487535
Didn't he come from the Enix side before he took over CBU3?

>>717487340

>>717487514
well, i tried but couldn't.
I'm a SNES guy, I grew up with 4 and 6, then played an emulated 5.
I first played 1, 2 and Tactics on GBA, they were great. Tried 1 on NES and wanted to KMS.
The only game I truly enjoy for the NES is Mario Bros, Bomberman and Metroid

>>717487670
I just emulated it when I was like 10 years old because it was my only option for playing every FF at the time. The DS version got announced like two weeks after I finished. How can you make it through NEStroid but not FF3?

>>717487670
Try the PR version of 3 with the boosts. Makes it funner

>>717473278 (OP)
Hard to answer. I started it a while ago and enjoy it, but in the meantime I finally played VIII and just last year IX which made it sink in FF really has been over ever since. I'm not sure I can go on with the series (mainline at least), especially if we keep straying further away from what it actually was.
That said, I still enjoy this game I started a long-ass time ago and don't intend on stopping it because of how my view of FF has changed (or rather been restored). As a whole it is a very formulaic game, but there can be stuff in there that really appeals to you (personally I straight-forwardly like challenging battle content etc. but all kinds of other stuff you can focus on) and while the FF references can often not quite match the vibe of the original, the spectacle still is nice imo and oftentimes they're heightened by their use in XIV's context.

tl;dr/in conclusion
Just give it a shot. It's obviously got nothing to do with actual FF in structure, but as you can expect there are good and bad things in there if you want to evaluate it on its own. It also gets the criticism of not being a real MMO which funnily enough might be why I could stomach it, but all the better.

>>717487767
cause Super Metroid blew my head harder than any SNES FF
and realizing the starting room got recreated blew my head even further

>>717487879
Super Metroid was my first game and it's still one of my favorites, but try as I might I could not make it through more than 30 minutes or so of NEStroid.

>>717487778
I have all the PRs. Got them recently.
1 was an absolute blast. I'm grinding 2 at the moment.
>>717487927
yeah, it gets boring after 5 minutes, but at least it's not NES FF
The fact that your actions misses cause your target died pisses me off to no end

>>717473278 (OP)
Ffxiv is tranny dogshit, swtor is the real storyfag mmo

>>717488015
Rad, keep going with it.

>>717473972
>Dissidia
I'll play Jack's game eventually but from playing Dissidia a bit on a friend's PSP... fanservice galore yes but I really didn't find it too great at the time. Is it really worth it? I pretty much never do spinoffs, SoP would already be an exception (honestly think FFT and if counting sequels as such XIII-2 were the only other ones in all these years and XIII-2 was because I was still a retarded kid).

>>717482758
man, the amount of bootlickers for this game is insane, comments downvoted and hidden just for complain about that.

>>717488114
Dissidia 012 is one of the best games ever made.

>>717479874
Didn't he use to be an Au Ra?

>>717488187
Perhaps, I only fucked around on the first one, I think. Maybe one day.

>>717487514
My fucking nigga.

>>717488015
>The fact that your actions misses cause your target died pisses me off to no end
FF3 is the first one where this is not the case

Me and Mooj don't think you're winning, son

>>717488382
You changed back into a bitch?

>>717488380
it's been a while, i remember 3 having the same problem and saying "nope"
either way, I already have the PR, so I'll play that one

>>717488165
Why do you think they shit up the catalog with their daily general? xivvies are unironically a cult

>>717486701
All, but in hindsight I shouldn't have bothered with XV and XVI.

who was the ascian at the end?

>>717473278 (OP)
No, every other FF creator despises yoshitpiss and CBU3.

>>717488679
Travanchet

>>717483483
It's the directors fault not the writers

>>717488701
the 1.0 one?

>>717488719
Yeah

>>717488719
1.0 was merely a setback

>>717487256
Reminder people like this go on to put FF3 in trash tier on tierlists.

>>717488856
i don't rate games i haven't played
i'm not a wowbuck

>>717488856
It's a top tier NES RPG. And was the inspiration for a lot of Japanese devs. I can't see objectively how it can be ranked low unless they literally haven't played it.

>>717488985
I played FF3 and it's just improved FF1 with bad executed ideas. I put it above FF2 and I played that game, because Emprah from Dissida looked cool

>>717488450
>You changed back into a bitch?
Yeah lol, my Big Black Roegadyn EB prefers my lala this way and I don't mind spending the money for fantasias. Unlike you, dumpy, I actually have a job.

>>717489037
FF2 (NES at least) is the one that does deserve the shit it often gets imo
forced myself to properly play through it if only to have the right to make that statement

>>717489095
whats an "EB"

>>717489225
FF2 NES sucks but other versions of FF2 are fun. It was the one I had the most fun replaying when the pixel remasters came out.

>>717489225
why is 2 that hated? is the weapon lvl system? the dialogue by words?

Everything after 6.0 isn't canon.

>>717488450
Yeah, they keep giving us free fantasia

>12 years wasted crying about zivvies on /v/ for free
filtered from the gene pool

>>717489343
>emo bird is canon
um nah everything after 4.0 is non-canon, zenos died the end

>>717489318
The ideas aren't bad, it's more the execution. Not gonna go in depth into my problems with it now, but I can believe the poster above you in that other versions are better. Even the NES version might be enjoyable when you know what you're doing, but for a first playthrough it was just really fucking rough.

>>717489343
>>717489737
Heavensward was the beginning of the end.

>>717489318
the beginning portion of 2 is the absolute shits. Just tons of grinding by hitting yourself to gain enough HP to survive. It gets better once you get past the Josef part and you have skills and spells leveled.

>>717486829
yes we know
