Incredible review! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on this!
Thank you for watching and your support always ^_^ will have to take a look at your video now I’m out of the review hole haha 💙
@@JRPGJungle that's so kind of you! But seriously your reviews are always top shelf.
☺️💙😊
@@JRPGJunglethought Re Link was a fighter
Is the gameplay overwhelming? Cause this looks like Xenoblade and that seems crazy
I really enjoyed this game, the pacing was perfect coming from a guys with a family and kids, it felt great to complete the story and enjoy end game content, shorter was definitely better for me
This game is a sleeper hit and am absolutely having a blast. I am really enjoying shorter length games and don’t need a marathon to feel I got my value out of it. Great review. We lll done
Absolutely loving this game! I'm about done with all the post-game side quests. About 35ish hours in, and I'll be sad when it's done. Glad you like it too!
This game’s my absolute favorite in a couple years. As a 35 year old, I grew up with campaigns only taking a few days as the norm and I don’t have the time or understanding to why people want stories to last a hundred hours.
But I am also a sucker for a fun gear grind as long as I like the combat and this game has that in the spades. The post game is similar to Monster Hunter and can go on seemingly forever if you’re after the perfect build and want them for multiple characters.
I absolutely love this game !! Glad to hear you enjoyed it !!
Been meaning to try this eventually, it being an endgame/multiplayer focused JRPG is intriguing, makes me think Monster Hunter with how it treats endgame/post-game.
BTW curious if you plan on reviewing SMT5: Vengeance, playing through it at the moment and it's one of the most fun JRPGs I've played in years, enjoying the gameplay/combat more than Persona 4 Golden and 5 Royal lol.
I tried a little SMTV:V recently and can't wait to talk about it, it's kind of incredible?!? This year is great :'D
This game is AMAZING! My GOTY for sure! ❤ suberb review as always J! 👏
You've sold me, I look forward to playing it.
I'm so glad you liked this game, Tara!! I waited years for this one, and it was worth every beat of my heart 😍 I love it so much - it was everything I hoped for and more. It took my breath away at every turn and sang to my soul, it's just about my favourite game of all time 😊 thanks so much for doing a review!!
I'm so happy to hear you loved it so much! It's a great game, glad it was so special to you (I think it's a special release from this year too)! ^__^
I won't play this one but glad so many ppl like it
I bought this game because I had so much fun with the characters in Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising.
It also has a story driven campaign, but it plays more like a 90s beat 'em up arcade game.
Playing the two games has given me a great grasp on all its core characters, and each game's individual unique characters, without having to dive into the deep, deep, deep dungeon of the Gatcha Game.
By the way - Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising has the story from the original Granblue Fantasy Versus game as well - so you get the story mode of two games in one!
I highly recommend trying it out if you liked this crew a lot and don't want to spend endless hours rolling for characters.
That's fantastic and good to know, thank you! I've definitely had interest in the Versus games, so might be a good route to go next! :)
On sale on Steam right now, for $41.99. Picked me up a copy :D
So good! My timing for this review had nothing to do with that, but I'm super glad it's cheaper right now! Enjoy :DD
This game surprised me! Played the demo then immediately wanted to buy it. Game has been incredible. Unfortunately I’m stuck on one of the post game bosses on proud mode but I really enjoyed story mode.
Great review! Really love this game a lot!
Thank you! Glad to hear Relink love! :D 💙
I'm very glad this game came out at all after the almost 8 year wait and managed to be as good as it is. Now hopefully if they make a sequel it'll come out in a reasonable amount of time
I would love a sequel! Since they have all the assets now, hopefully they do it (and yes, in a reasonable amount of time 😅)
My gf just got me this for my bday on Wednesday and I'm loving it!
I completed it when it came out. I hope they release DLC or a sequel
There’s a few more characters to make crewmates now, and apparently some quests (don’t know if they’re story heavy or not, the screenshots look cool though haha :))
From what you have done, would you say the post game content is "playable" in aingle player? Ive read that it was made for multiplayer in mind, otherwise, they take way longer and are more difficult than intended.
From what I've played so far, it is (although I'll be sure to mention in a video or here if that changes). I'm still in the post-game campaign so I imagine that will be approachable as (hopefully) they want you to see all the story. But yeah, will keep that in mind as I keep playing and update if necessary :33
May have to give this one ago!
Nice review .I dove into the post game I have 144 hours in it.
You’re incredible! 💙 I can see it, the combat is very fun ^__^
Hey, Ed, Mr. Strife called. He want's his Buster Sword back.
😂
@@JRPGJunglehave u ever thought of doing a playthrough of games
@jakeriese4862 you mean on RUclips? I’ve definitely thought about it, but I think it wouldn’t be as interesting as you think; I’m pretty quiet as I play and like to focus, so I don’t know if showing my first playthrough would match my style of play. It could be something to consider for second times, but it’s also not something I get to often (and the writing is one of the parts I really like about making videos so yeah :3)
I definitely understand it would be quicker content 😅 but yeah, just not sure if it suits me personally :) thank you for your interest though, it’s good feedback :)
im off tomorrow for an American holiday called 4th of July aka independence day so I will spend most of my day trying out this game
This looks like a nice palate cleanser. Maybe it wasn't intentional, but it does sound a bit like you're linking length with quality? To me, a shorter game is ideal. :)
Wow you’re back!
To reviews and finishing games, yes :D 💙 (if all continues to go to plan anyway, 😅 let’s hope for more!)
Guess this is the closest we'll get to a skies of arcadia 2. I'll be picking this up next year for sure.
Haven’t played it because I have no attachment to the Granblue universe but maybe it’s worth checking out even if I know nothing about it.
I had no prior knowledge aside from liking the character designs I'd seen. If you're okay with just finding out things as you go, I think it's approachable since it's in a new place in the world :))
Wish the game didn't use cooldowns, had a similar problem with Final Fantasy XVI, where i felt like my combos were way too limited
Its such an unengaging mechanic to put in an action game, no amounts of skilled play gets your abilities back any faster
an MP meter that you could build up and manage manually would be much more fitting for this type of game
I guess it depends on the type of engagement you're looking for. From a button mashing perspective, sure, it's less engaging. But when you have cooldowns on an ability it limits their use, increasing the impact they have, therefor becoming far more mentally engaging combat. So yes, it's less buttons to push over time, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Hopefully, it will come to Extra soon :)
I very much enjoyed the anime of GranBlue and I loved the story of the game (replayed it a number of times). As I like to get Plats I tried to do all the post-game content. However, it was far too much for me (unending grinding for upgrades) and the ultimate difficulty trophy was bugged (for me). So, I would recommend sticking to the story and maybe just unlocking characters you like.
Interesting to hear re: the platinum, although maybe not surprising with the amount of weapons (I was surprised how many there were when I was playing for footage as I didn't use many in my first playthrough; can't see the need for all of them, aside from trophy hunting). Having a bugged trophy sucks too, hope they fix it so you can get it!! Will keep that in mind though, thanks for sharing your experience :))
For a game I was looking forward to for so long, it's funny I ended up not buying it at launch. Lol. I definitely look forward to getting it sometime down the line though, as I enjoyed the combat in the demo.
Me with Dragons Dogma 2, waited 12 years only for me to get this game today instead, downloaded and will be playing tomorrow morning 😂
watch the anime
I would like to! I've seen the Blu-ray on sale here before, will grab it next time I see it! :))
