Sorry about that, anyone who saw that little mishap!

Today, I got Wild Arms 5 aka "How Many Cameos Can We Cram Into One Game." I am going to blog it because why the hell not. I may or may not actually keep up with this. \o/ Also the encounter rate has been insane so everyone can laugh at my pain.

FTR, my problem with the battle system in 5 is that it kind of feels like the Hex system is...entirely pointless? Like, if everyone can move and attack in the same turn, then...what's the point just make it like WA3's system.

BECAUSE IT LOOKS COOL

I do like it because you can trap an enemy and by the same token, the enemies can surround you. So it requires you to keep your head up and pay attention because otherwise you might be boned.

One thing I miss though are the personal skills, especially in 3. I liked those a lot, but they did get kind of game-breaky after while. I mean, if you were up against a boss that used solely dark attacks and your entire party had dark wards and maxed them out ... yyyyeah.

You say that like getting ten times the experience is a bad thing.

Hey, hey! I needed ten times the experience so my party could actually level up! level 90+ is not overkill, okay.
