Just started playing this about a week ago and hey, it’s a pretty good game!
I tried a few of the different classes. I then spent a few hours following some of the “OP” YouTube videos that require you to visit 73 different places in the world to get the items you need, but after doing that a while I felt bad about doing it for my initial run. So I decided to stick with one character and play it “naturally.” Not blind though. I’m actually following a really good YouTube series that presents a natural, organic way of leveling up your character. I know a lot of the purists may frown on this approach (because you’re basically being spoonfed all the strategy) but coming in six months after the game launches I would like to experience a lot of it before I inevitably drift off to something else. I’ve also started trying some of the content in a new area before I see recommendations from the YouTube video.
Bosses are still hard though!
Oh yeah, I also spent about a week and a half reading this thread and boy am I exhausted now.
