Boy, now I'm not pretending to be fluent in JRPG's because I'm not and I don't want to sound like I need my hand held everywhere I go but Xenoblade Chronicles X is one of the most overwhelming games I've ever played. Hell I've played many deep MMO's that do a better job explaining themselves and offer a good amount of freedom at the same time. Not saying X's freedom is unwelcomed, I love the world vastness but I feel so overwhelmed by everything going on that I'm not having fun playing it. I don't want to sound like a moaning mike here but I think I've spent the vast majority of time reading the manual and looking at online forums. The missions I have available are mostly undoable right now so I've basically been planting probes and randomly suddenly dying every few minutes despite being careful to miss more powerful creatures. I feel like they throw mechanics/features at you without explaining it at least a little bit. Again, I'm sure I must come across as a real fool to most of you because I'm sure the vast majority of you know what's going on and how it all works but the troubling thing is I love the basics of X but feel so overwhelmed and lost that I'm just having no fun playing it. I should note I didn't play the original but heard nothing but praise. I feel at times like the developer have purposely made aspects of this more confusing than they need to be.
Am I doing something wrong? Am I just to stupid? Or is it all me? I would seriously love some honest opinions from people who've played X. I sense I could have fun with X, but I don't know what's going on half the time.
Thanks and be kind.
