>>25041037>>25041050I can see where you two are coming from. God knows recruiting everything in Blue is a pain in the ass.
I feel like my complaints about it comes down to the fact that the treasure hunt is basically the whole postgame, save for Connection Orb missions. I know it's great to actually be able to GET SMD's equivalent to Goggle Specs/Tight Belts, but it all feels a little too easily gotten.
One major problem for me is the fact that the level 5 dungeons have no reward, outside of being able to come here and say "Hey guys I beat Sacred Ruins!" Your only reward is being able to screencap that "dungeon complete" screen.
And then there's the fact that there are no random missions to begin with. Sure, a lot of the missions netted you fuckall in the older games, but then you'd get the great ones, the ones that net you things like Vitamins, Joy Seeds, and maybe even an escort that leads to two chests that could have a Golden Seed inside.
All this stuff just feels like it hurts the game in the long run
>>25041072Took me 200 hours, and yeah, that's a lot, but i let the game sit for quite awhile at times. It's just that even with that much time, i've still gotten less playtime in this than RT and Sky. I'm not trying to shit on SMD, I really like the game, I'm just conflicted with how i feel about it i guess. There's no doubt it's better than Rescue Team, though.
