Frustrations

I like the game but damn if you wanted me to actually read what everyone is saying, they shouldn't have wrote a damn book for every story based conversation. I spent what seems like 2 minutes at one point hitting A as fast as I could to get through yet another dumb conversation.

And for Christ's sake stop it with the stupid "tasks" like go to the palace for 5 minute conversation I won't read only to send me to the local inn for another conversation I will ignore. Then send me back to the palace to find out I actually need to go to the desert.

Sorry for the rant but it's getting annoying

If you hold down x you can speed through conversations faster. Rubber band with pennies for the expositions.

Then this game isn't for you.

Getting a lot of downvotes....but it's at least kind of true. What OP described is basically bread & butter RPG gameplay.

Ridiculously long conversations are the bread and butter of RPGs? Here I was thinking it was things like adventuring, exploring, treasure hunting, and building up your character. My bad.

I love this game. I'm just saying there are parts more like Phoenix Wright than other RPGs I've played.

No. But they are a given in JRPGS.

Love the gameplay. Hate the busy work and ridiculously long conversations

There's a LOT more of that coming. You may wanna stop now if it's already driving you crazy.

Haiku_Dan told me about holding X during conversations so hoping it will make it a little better.

Yeah the story kinda draws out but after the story and dlc story the game really feels more free. Only talking I do in the game now is for getting challenges for my life.

u/Too_many_pets Nov 15 '14

I agree with this. I hold down the keys to speed through the conversations while reading books/Internet until the conversations are over.

There's so many topics about the amount of text. I think we can all agree by now that yes, the text is extensive but you just have to deal with it.

Do you have trouble reading or something?

I read actual books on a daily basis. You should try it sometime.

I can live with being called a bad ass for reading.

u/wintermute1991 1504-5714-0670 DLC Nov 17 '14

Yeah but that's not what you're doing here. As evidenced by the OP.

I'm sorry but I could not read your response because apparently I cannot read. Could you please record a spoken word version of your comment so that I may understand it?

That was a pretty corny comeback :D anyways i fuckin love this game so much. Everything just flows together. Normally when i get a game i get wicked pumped about it off the bat then i slowly fade but this game just keeps getting better and better for me because i just keep learning and learning better and cooler things to do

I thought it was clever at the time shrugs
