Very, very, very mixed reactions,
so im going to try to dispel the myth of this game of both of its love and hate partys,
Storyline 7/10, suggestive,
the storyline in this game is highly long, that i'm not going to bother to explain it to much, but you create a char and get a message from the godess to help her and from there it begans, your not particular forced to go with the storyline so you have the freedom to do the many other side quests instead improving your char leaving you to travel anywere you want (providing you dont get mauled by a hostile monster stronger then you) which is very much a good thing, but heres where the problem sort of starts....the storylines quests itself usually involve ether, running around to point A to B over 70% of the time only consisting of talking to a npc here, or there, Or, do this dungeon here as for the 30% of the time, while some forces you to wait in real time, so many people would probaly dissaprove of the storyline, however on the otherhand the sidequests are generaly better to do, sadly giving you more rewards then the storyline in a much shorter time span, and leaving the set of players who do like the game letting the storyline pass by, the storyline is all text and reading, and npc chars personailtys are usually flused out well, giving off a like or hate to players you'd just have to decide which you like better,
Gameplay 7/10, also suggestive,
Many things to cover...suprisingly, this part of the game also has the same postive/negetives, there is no specfic class, you, have the ultimate freedom to rank up any skill you want becoming whatever class you want to call your own (very nice), while the rebirth system allows you to reset your lvls, carry on added stats by your choosen skills and carry there effectiveness over, so hypotheticly, you can have infinite power (genuis), as good as this may sound...i think they executed it quite a bit wrongly...later ranks will bleed you dry of requiring 20-40 lvls just to rank one skill you perfer, and yes you could just rank a diffrent skill that cost lower AP, but that skill added stats may not be liking to you or your build, and if you dont plan on paying, free rebirths require 3 weeks to reset your lvl, so about a month of time, theres also the problem in late game after a couple rebirths theres not to many sidequests to do and by now you should have figured how to lvl to 40 in a week or less, and to finish it off, stats improvement usually range from 1-10, i understand that it cant be to high so theres not a major gap bettween you or the other player, but even then the stats improvement is still a bit to little for your work and will show in PvE in late game,
but i degress onto the actuall gameplay, this...also gives mixed reactions, the skills your given are slightly limited but enough to count as vairty, you move and skills move in like a sort of delayed real time system, if you hit the enemy, or you get hit, your stuned, and everything stops, leaving you vunerable untill the combo is finished, if ether side is done your open for an attack even if you did charge a skill right after and if the enemy is close, most likely youll be hit, it all works generaly simple but players can ether hate or like this for if any side is teamed by 2-3, most likely you or them are dead in seconds and not with to many chances to retalite, the problem i find here is that the exp is divided completly equally, 2 players will equal 50/50% it dosent sound bad at first but, in late game this sort of discourages the whole team aspect, players will most likely like to go alone because its hard enough for them to lvl as it is, on the other side this would be perfect to bring a freind along if your both low lvls or such, but the gap in late game is ether your party chars can hold there ground, or cannot, dungeons appear to be linear as well, every dungeon you spawn will always involve, clearing the square room (with no other shapes), keys, and hallways, it never changes, its repetive, yet simple to other people,
lastly...item/invertory system, many new players will hate the idea of there items will be able to lose MAX durbilty just from repairing on top of it having not a big enough invertory for everything, but if you did pay for a pet (only obtainable by paying) youd have enough space to carry spares/extra items, pets can fight also as well having a nice adtional helping hand, but they have limited timing (why i really dont know since you payed) and there skill learning system is based on lvls, ignoring that, if you deid, you have a chance to drop gear, though you can pay to get it back later at an npc or just be revived and repick it up, if its something expesive though your going to lose alot of money in game, since there is a MAX durbilty drop chance after a repair, why having to make it worse by having a drop system in PvE really seems like the game wants to put you down,
Music 8/10, not suggestive- oh...wait...
mainly its all good town/traveling music and done well pretaining to that aspect, however dungeon music after playing the game so long will get on your nerves and most of the themes for dungeon usually go to about 2-5 in general if i recall, most likely youll be turning on your own perferd music, and let it play for as long as you play, making you not hear the actuall themes of places out of dungeons,
Graphics 7/10, its actually- No..its still suggestive...
players will love that they can love that they can look or create there own uniqe persona, while other players will hate the texture of the land, its all to say really,
Replat Value 8/10, yeah...i wont say it,
since you techniqly replay as in rebirth, id say its supposivly high since you can just go play with a life skill or something, but youd have to consider all of the above,
Final word's,
after re reading what i wrote, i can see id probaly revealed more negetives then positives....but partly, thats what i see what the game is and i dont hate the game or really love it personally, one thing is for sure though, if your bored, if you need something to kill alot of your time, this is your game to play...probaly, its pretty suggestive to me,
