Emergence
Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
That actually looks quite epic!
I’m looking forward it it
No, not on the hype train. Shockingly i actually like traditional JRPGs (with no fewer than 4 being in my personal top 10) and have very little interest in mission based open-world collectathon multiplayer action game especially with the problems that open world games have with pacing and how that can kill a linear story. It does not help that the combat looks suspiciously like KH combat, which I really don’t like because even if the game requires you to do something other than mash x (which KH does not) it’s not a system I find the least bit entertaining (and there are better ways to allow the same number of commands without the clunky interface.)
It might end up being everything I didn’t know i wanted, but I’m not holding my breath.
