Avoid all the clickbait discussions on here, just know the game is 10/10. Just play it.

I want to say this is the best JRPG I've played in so long if not ever...... since ff7 and ff9 on PS1 as a kid. or ff10 on Ps2.

But because people can't help but insert their politics/ideology/spoilers into things these days coming to this community is just another mine field.

Just play it.

I'm considering buying this game just to support the devs even though I have it on Gamepass.

I might wait until the first dlc though (I read an article about how they are going to change the scope of the first DLC due to such positive reception) Which I am happy to hear and will probably buy the game + the first expansion/DLC! :)

Thank you SandFall

For restoring my faith in game devs and the ability to make great games without massive budgets and dev teams

SANDFALL is my new favourite game company.

It is, most definitely not, a "10/10".

10/10 would imply that it is perfect. But there is no such thing as a perfect game. COE33 is close to being perfect, but not quite.

Also people need to stop mindlessly giving games a perfect score because that is exactly one of the main reason why the video game industry is in the current state.

Think about it. All video game companies need to improve in order to stay relevant and to keep up with the times. But by saying that this game is perfect you are basically telling Sandfall that they don't need to improve which is a slippery slope. Think of video game companies like Bethesda, Electronic Arts/ BioWare, CD Projekt Red and of course Ubisoft. Those companies were once incredible. But over the years, success and over the top validation has caused them to become lazy and complacent which has resulted in increase arrogance and lack of competence. And this in turn has caused a massive decline in the quality of their products. And if people are not careful, Sandfall Interactive will eventually share the same fate and become a shell of it's former glorious self.

I'm probably going to get mocked for saying this but you all see, as this is a trend that has been repeated many times beyond counting.

definitely a 10/10 been playing rpgs all my life, all of dragon quest, final fantasy, chrono trigger, all the legends and many more in many forms.

recent ones being sea of stars and octopath traveller series.

this game is by far one of my all time favorites and huge recommend. I am now empty inside because I recently 100% it. I want more of this so bad.

obviously nothing is perfect but a 10/10 means that the game is so good that any cons it does have are outshined dramatically by its pros to the point of really not mattering.

the ONLY issue I have with this game is that its a tad bit unoptimized. and honestly with how QUALITY the game is its not nearly bad enough for me to warrant it a serious issue, especially since im running an old system and for the most part its pretty stable in every area.

Heartily agreed, OP. The level of discussion on this board suggests that a lot of the other people spamming threads have the critical appreciation of a mongoose and the IQ of a cool glass of water...

Yeah, 12/10 if you understand the lyrics. But not all of us do while playing the game, not even the ones who actually are fluent in french.

So 10/10 seems fair.

[Umie]

the discussions are generally very positive, here and elsewhere, with a few trolls making ludicrous claims after playing the game for a few hours, or not playing at all. easy to ignore.

7/10 it's ok for a xenoblade game

Wait til the honeymoon phase is over the souls fanboys f off to the next big thing. They're making every conversation surrounding this game insufferable.
