I'm the "narrow-minded" person this fool is referring to.
He completely failed to explain anything, and insulted me at least twice during his "explanation".
From what little I understand, you level, and then have your level brought down depending on the area you're in, so that any monster you fight is equally tedious to fight, and takes just as long, and you get the same amount of experience. You follow a mind-numbingly boring and poorly written "story" which consists of tiny little areas in which you need to kill a small group of enemies (just like, I dunno, every other part of the freakin' game!), interspersed with horrible "we-put-as-little-effort-into-this-as-possible" pseudo-cutscenes. Then when you've tired of that, you can... I dunno, go on more random (as in stupid and senseless, rather than actually being RANDOM) repetitive quests where you can basically kill one enemy then just sit around until everything is dead at which point you will be awarded experience for.... nothing at all, really. Or you can chop wood and have your inventory fill up instantly with random crap, forcing you to either constantly deposit "collectibles" in your bank, or fork over cash for the gems to buy more space.
The writing is awful, the characters are uninspired (aside from the Asura, who I think are pretty cool), the combat is boring and repetitive.
Keep in mind that this is all from what I've gleaned from what I've seen so far, and what that imbecile calling me "narrow-minded" above "explained" to me.
On the flip side, gorgeous graphics, great voice acting, but otherwise, this game completely and utterly fails, as far as I can tell.
If someone who has an IQ of more than 70 wants to tell me what to like about this game, and how to actually play it, please feel free.
