Reached the end of the first "trial", still on super strong.
Yeah, I'm probably done here. Whether I can kill the boss in 25 turns or less is completely RNG at this point and rather narrow RNG at that. The only way to reduce that RNG is to power level via Hallelujah / Electro Light and I'm just not sure I care enough to do that. If these were new bosses that didn't have bullshit turn requirements maybe I'd be more inclined to put up with the grind, but the third cycle of reused assets, dungeons, enemies and the absolute dumpster fire that's Act 3's narrative is enough for me to call it a day.
Act 1 starts a little too slow, but hey it's a JRPG and it shares a series sibling with Dragon Quest VII. 75% of Act 1 and almost all of Act 2 are wonderful Dragon Questing. I'd rather Act 3 not exist as it is.
Would be awfully nice if they'd use the DQXI base to remaster I-III, VIII, IX even. With the Switch version around the corner, I'd think those would have legs for years ala the DS / 3DS Dragon Quests.
