friend first then surprise

gotta do the long game

[OrpheusJoshua 126]

The issue with that is that I'd have to ask for the account and the element of surprise is gone

[Icecl Keyheart 13]

I mean you can do it under the guise of just doing it just because no matter how sus it is

It's gonna take me years to beat Xenoblade 1. I can only play it in small doses because I feel this immense frustration whenever I play it, primarily due to me not being able to grasp the combat at all.

There are elements of this game I enjoy but there's just so many things holding it back. Aside from me not being able to parse the combat, the sidequests feel so soulless and draining that doing them is just a chore at all times. The size of the maps is cool at first but it eventually became taxing to explore them for me. The character interaction in this so light and sparse, and the fact that Heart to Hearts have not been fixed from the original really kills my attachment to this cast.

Shulk is one of the bigger problems. He gradually became far less interesting to me after he left Colony 9. I kinda just see him as a plot device now rather than an actual character.
