I used to play the hell out of 1 and 2 back in the PS2 days, but I haven’t touched the series beyond that, and haven’t even played 1/2 much in the last 10 years.
How would you rate 4 in comparison? I noticed it was on sale in the Switch eShop, and I’d love to have one of the series to play on the go.
What I loved about the ones I played:
- Story had a good balance of comedy and heart
- Flexible and fun character building, with decent enough defined classes to get you started
- Tons of post-game/side content (I didn’t like every piece of it, but I liked how much there was to try.)
- CAPTAIN GORDON, DEFENDER OF EARTH
- Perfect geochains, though I was usually too smoothbrain for it.
What I didn’t like:
- Item world, IIRC worse in 1 than 2?
- Adell’s siblings
- Demon court thing?
So I found out after I posted this that there’s a demo, and 40 minutes in I already like Valvotorez more than Laharl, and at least on par with Adell. Seems like I’ll finish the demo to eb sure, and probably pick it up.
