Still playing Xenoblade X. Finally reached level 50 to upgrade to stronger Skells, the old ones started to feel weak. And at this point I can definitely confirm that I appreciate the game more than I did on the Wii U. I passed the 100 hour mark, which is usually where I start getting tired of a game, but it hasn't happened yet. On the Wii U, I had a much worse time because I front-loaded all the exploration as soon as I got the flight module. Patience is the way to go!
I'm adequately deep into Wild Arms 2 now and I have to say that this game is surprisingly easy. It already has a very low encounter rate for this era of RPGs and you can 'cancel' them if you're a higher level than the enemy. I do that 95% of the time and I'm still strong enough to one-shot enemies with magic they resist. Even the bosses barely pose a challenge, especially when they have an elemental weakness. I wonder if that's ever going to change?
I also picked up Pokemon Lazarus after some idiots gave it unintended publicity and it's pretty good. I like how it's a Gen3 romhack using Gen2 visuals, that's very different from anything I've seen before! But I'm also learning that I can't play normal Pokemon games the intended way anymore. If I don't nuzlocke them, I have to pre-select a team of six and get them as soon as possible, and with the built-in cheat codes I was at least able to do that. I tried to play the vanilla way until the second gym, but I just can't do patchwork teams anymore. And as an Infinite Fusion player, not having access to over 200.000 Pokemon just doesn't feel right anymore. I've been spoiled, I can't help it!
Yeah, very few games can make me spend 100 hours, or even 70-80 hours. Fire Emblem Three Houses seems to be the one that'll cross that mark, I believe I am already 60-70 hours in, and still have about 2 and half routes left.
Pokémon Lazarus looks interesting, but not really a big fan of the genre, or the series.
