>>11501846Ehh, it's not my thing. The series has changed a lot over the years, but the core gameplay loop is essentially the same thing. It is the kind of game that appeals to a specific type of autism. It is kind of like HoI in that it is something that you either really really like or you find kind of boring.
Travel the world, turn based battles, collecting items, and unlocking recipes using materials collected from battle and the world. The people that love it, absolutely love it, the people that don't just aren't interested. It is 50% crafting, 50% battle. Instead of gathering power to fight some big bad and save the world you are pretty much just traveling around, helping people, and making the world a better place.
