Cont.. the storyline is becoming a bit more interesting now that I've learned about the origin of mechteria. That made for a nice twist. But 10 hours of crappy character banter was difficult to get through to this point.

Also mechteria sounds too much like materia (FF7). Lacking originality? idk.

FANTASIAN Neo Dimension - I haven't seriously played a JRPG since Final Fantasy 7 and gave this a shot for obvious reasons.

My takeaway after 10+ hours? Combat system - inventive & fun. Diorama backgrounds - very interesting to look at. The characters, dialog, and storyline - excruciatingly bad.

The state of the world got me twisted. I'm diving headlong into escapism through video games since it's not feasible for me to be a vagabond anymore... or at least, I should say I'm privileged to be housed.

I'm not much of an early adopter, but I guess I'll at least park my name in case this thing takes hold. I'm a wordy bitch and the short form text is also kinda a point of contention for me.
