That level of class is born, not made.<br /><br />But to say something about the game itself, it's not that it was outright TERRIBLE, but mediocre at best all the time, and often embarrassing to see playing out. The game never suggested that I should care about that old master pilot I can't even remember, or that I shouldn't have any desire to check out the various world map markers with no entry points, or that I shouldn't want to beat the shit out of some red goat man for robbing me. I've done worse over less, and I'm a nice guy.<br /><br />The word for this game is Arbitrary. You can't play interpret this game logically, for it stubbornly insists that you meet it on its own terms.<br /><br />And really, not even the gameplay is that amazing. Skills randomly leveling up(maybe I DON'T want my Cancel skills to be Instant on EVERYONE?), those demon velociraptor priests, just...bah. To hell with all of it.<br /><br />Time to pop in G2 and spam SKY DRAGON SLASH.Ecclesiastes(273)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12472479463263586707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-268660459652553228.post-80668198940902425762012-09-02T06:23:18.990-07:002012-09-02T06:23:18.990-07:00"I try, Dash.
