I’m still try to finish all ending in A Hundret Line: Last Defense Academy, but i have already written my thoughts about this. But i need something new so i started Fantasian Neo Dimension. I only played a few hours, but it remembers me so much on old Final Fantasy games. I’m sure i will like this game.

I burned out in the later half of Fantasian due to the encounter rate and difficulty spikes, but might pick it up again and see if I can finish it, I wasn’t that far from the end.

At least I had a ton of fun with the first half of the game.

Isn’t this the whole gimmick of the game? You delay the encounter and then fight them all at once, maybe that’s why the encounter rate is high.

Of course, if this is accompanied with a difficulty spike, you won’t be able to do that properly.

Late-game the encounter rate gets so high that you fill your “stash” of enemies incredibly fast.

And since the game also goes incredibly “anti-girinding” in the second half you’re not only fighting tons of enemies but often also getting almost zero XP out of it. That made the game feel like a huge slog to me.

The difficulty spike is different matter though. That’s mostly about the bosses.

That’s a weird design, giving lots of enemies but not giving enough XP. I’ll be pretty turned off by such a game design too.

Yeah, it’s incredibly weird.

There’s a way to “empty” your stash of monsters without battling but it requires you to teleport to a certain place, pay a fee, then teleport back which is very awkward and requires you to be at a checkpoint.
