Outline on pacing and flow:

• Game starts out slow with dumby quests but you free to go where you want, I did for about five hours. Then I died to a big monkeylizard in a lava pit.
• The first three chapters hold hands with the player to get you into the world and system. Like quest requiring exploration criteria, game makes sure you were outside and looking around.
• After chapter 4 the game really picks up. Quests get better but main story is the real star. No spoilers but later is even better!
• If you get stuck on hard boss. Hire online player with great gear to help.
• Get DOLL! Drive around, run over low level monsters, then fly!
• I like this story better than Xenoblade 1. Xenoblade 1 was very straightforward, this time more over the place and surprising at times. No Shulk sees future to spoil events of the future.

The Really Good:

• The world in a doll the first time you fly is jaw opening. FFXV won't have flying.
• Dolls
• Flying Dolls. Can we replace ugly characters with dolls? Next Xenoblade should be about just Dolls. In space.
• Flying
• Monster Hunter. Monster Hunter with giant robots.
• Exploration is great, world is huge and beautiful. (Some ugly graphical issues: no AF, lots of blurred textures even with install pack, pop in. Don't think even my PS4 could render this well, would render better but still. FFXV demo looked better at some things worse at others.)
• The game directs you to many interesting points but many others are very hidden and secret for you to discover.
• The story really picks up after chapter 4, like a good book that leads you into world and then speeds up. First few chapters are world build.
• Plenty to do after or along with the story.

The Good:

• I really like how you can hire other players to make cool team but also help if get stuck. World boss events and doll unlocks give everyone a goal but bosses are hard.
• Graphics are good.
• Most of the music.
• Most of the characters. They have some great quests to them, some characters are really great. Elma is great.

The Xenoblade:

• The combat. Its mostly the same + Dolls. Soul Voice replaces Visions for synergy and efficiency that you need to be good at for harder fights. Game is pretty easy early on but you have to get good at combat for later story bosses, have to be really good for hard world bosses. Soul Voice success helps for keeping enemies Hate-locked on a damage taker.
• Combat can feel airy but that's how it is in Xenoblade. Obviously not as good or physical as Blood or Bayonetta 2.
• Bathing suit/super robot/kamen rider cutscenes. Silly. Super serious cutscene = wearing shades and a bikini.
• Lots of dumb quests of kill monkeylizards or collect their tears but a lot more good quests than Xenoblade 1. Character quests are really well written but some characters are very dumb.

The Bad:

• Some of the music. NLA music is bad during day but I don't spend any time there.
• Some of the characters. Spoilers so won't say who.
• Graphics can be really bad at times if you care that much.
• Some long load times between a few cutscenes.
• Some text is teeny.

The ??????? (видимо не перевели):

• Start is slow but only two hours or three long. Can probably really run through it now that I know how to speed up the chapters. Maybe even an hour on a new play.
• Doll is level blocked but by the time you get to dolls you should be only a level or two away.
• The music as a whole, hit or miss tracks.
• Silent protagonist "with choice". You have role but you never talk outside battle. But lots of cool development for "you" in story. Elma is big character though and she talks plenty.
• Heroic bravado. Clapping. Jean Claude Van Damme.

That all for now. Favorite game of the year but I only played Bloodborne and Kirby so far, best RPG in a time. Good luck FF, please be good.
