^Well I certainly had a ton of fun last night!
True to my "casual" (or, you know, slow) nature in playing games like these, I managed to clock 6 hours into the game last night (by a mile the most I've ever played a game in one sitting
), but have only gotten as far as regaining the Regalia and Cindy giving me a package to open up at a rest stop place, which I didn't get to yet.
I just loved exploring! And this early into the game is barely scratching the surface, so it appears from the map. Completed the hunts that I could, got ambitious by taking on 4 level 12 Dualhorns while the party was at level 5, and then later at level 8 taking on the level 29 King Reapertail - or maybe it's supposed to be easy enough but it felt like I had taken risks
. Won both, but I wasn't as ambitious to try fighting the daemons just yet - which, incidentally, was wonderful to have come across on the first night. Running into three Bombs and an Iron Giant while at level 1, hilariously terrifying.
At this thoroughly enjoyable, leisurely pace (I've only used "tow", "call", "fast travel" etc. just to see what they look like), I look forward to finishing in time for
summer autumn KHIII
