I hate leveling up for the pure fact that it makes the game too easy (first playthrough only) but the post game seems to basically demand it. Basically, there were only a handful of bosses that I had to change my party during a fight until post game. Then right after the boss, I relax again. It was basically easy for a long stream of time, then I come to a boss and suddenly I have a difficulty spike with the boss, have to change tactic. Yes, the game is definitely easy most of the time, but actually spikes at moments.
I don't recall how long it takes before you get the Falcon Blade after this (which is the only thing that I can think of to outclass that blade at this point) but even then, you'll likely have dual wield by then and it won't be outclassed, but it would be your main hand weapon. I'll be playing through again and seeing what you're on about, but I can't see you finding anything within 20 minutes that's better than the Platinum Sword. It would have worked better if the outfits could have just been overlays in another slot so that they could be viable for the theme of the game. Even the outfits, which are a great game addition for changing the look and feel of your character, become outclassed fast. This game moves too quickly through its stages to have such a wide array of equipment choices.
I figured it would far outclass everything else. I understand the developers desire to make the game accessible to multiple gameplay styles and to give it balance with that priority in mind, but it seems like doing it this way just nullified the whole system.Īnd if that wasn't bad enough, I spent an hour and a half in the Casino raising tokens to buy the most expensive sword. Why bother wasting time crafting, when you can avoid all enemies and run to your next objective? Advancing the story and going through a few cutscenes is enough to bring to you the next tier, where even the +3 stuff you just crafted 20 minutes ago is outclassed. I'm just about done with Act 1, and I can't be the only one that thinks crafting in this game is mostly pointless fluff.
