After hearing for 5 years about how fantastic this dang game was, I knew I had to bite the bullet and try it out. I refused to play it on the Wii because of the nature of the game. It's a huge, sprawling JRPG and I wasn't going to force myself to attempt to play a game on that struggling hunk of plastic again. In 2009, I mostly stopped playing the Wii outside of a couple games because it was already super outdated.

This game being put on the 3DS intrigued me. I thought... surely they're putting in a lot of effort to make this version properly playable.

Nope. I struggled through about 8 hours of it, hoping I'd be able to persevere but I absolutely could not. This was the ugliest game I have ever witnessed. I had to drop it. I wasn't very invested in anything else going on; nothing really hooked me.

I know this game now has a version that doesn't look like a blurry mess on Switch. I just think it's too late for me, I'm probably never going to get around to it, sadly. The length of it certainly has an effect on that.

I did, however, play Xenoblade Chronicles 2 anyways...
