Still playing Xenoblade Chronicles X. No changes on JRPG front.
I did start Marvel's Midnight Suns recently. It's Tactical RPG, and obviously western, so not sure if it counts, but that's the closest to another JRPG I have come yet.
I'm towards the end of midnight suns, enjoy the journey!
Thanks. I feel like I am spending too much in abbey, compared to actual fighting, but it hasn't gotten to where I am annoyed by it. Maybe as the game progresses they will start to balance a bit.
There's a ton of dialogue and I've enjoyed most of it. Who knew superheroes had so much drama 😅
Heh, yeah, there's already some drama going on, and I guess that will just increase as more and more heroes join the group.
I really need to get back to Midnight Suns. I played about four hours of it, thought it was interesting, and then something new came out and I forgot about it for a while. I love that team's work, too. Really excited for Star Wars Zero Company.
Star Wars Zero Company is a different studio. It's by Respawn and some other studio, under EA.
Midnight Suns is by Firaxis, X-Com devs.
You should continue. I am not a fan of deck-based games, but it's fun to play. As for Star Wars Zero Company, looking forward to it as well. A tactical game in Star Wars world could be great.
Bit Reactor is the lead dev on Zero Company, and a third of them are XCOM/Firaxis vets.
Wow, didn't know that. That's cool then, and they apparently have full control over it.
Any idea why they all left Firaxis? I skimmed the whole article but didn't find anything.
Don't think I've come across anything on why they left. It did seem like the general vibe for a while was that 2K was done with XCOM, and they also didn't seem happy with the sales for Midnight Suns itself. Maybe the writing was on the wall for the team?
