Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 69097, member: 6930"] I'd argue that the Junction System should've been more properly explained. And mine is that the Sphere Grid from X was good on paper but tedious in execution (especially in the Standard one where you're forced down a path instead of allowing more freedom). I wish there was a standard level up system but then the Grid would be for skill and magic instead of having to apply a sphere just to get +200 HP or +2 Attack. Even better if skill trees were allowing you to change them (for a price) instead of knowing your current character is forever messed because you put the wrong skill. Sausage Sucker? I hope it's not what I think you're saying. Soulslike/SoulBorne are Action-RPG, why do they have a specific name for that? We stopped saying Doomlike/Quakelike and GTA-like nowadays. Anyway I do agree that most of them suffer from the "doge/pary and counter-attack, rinse and repeat" game design whereas ARPG like the older Ys (before Seven) had an emphasis on positioning and learning patterns. I would've liked Dark Souls and other games better if they were more dynamic. And yes, I absolutely despise when a genuine game design issue is counter-argued with a "git gud" or "skill issue" because they lack any actual argument. [/QUOTE]
