I'm hijacking this thread cause I don't see the point in starting a new one since its the same topic.

I just started The After Years and I believe I'm still in the Prologue since my party just got to Kaipo after escaping Baron.

I like many of the new game mechanics such as Band's and the overlooked Moon Phase system. The NPC party members have been pretty amusing as well. The plot is interesting so far, though I am having a very hard time not drawing parallels to the first season of DBZ (SPOILER)with the old main character quickly removed from the picture and the game focusing on the son who happens to be getting a bit of a fatherly mentoring from the previous main characters rival.

I think I've been rushing through the story too much though cause I feel Ceodore and his group is underleveled, not to mention I just realized now that Ceodore keeps taking so much damage cause he surprisingly has a very low stamina rating. His defense and level is the same as the Hooded Man but good god does it annoy me he takes almsot 2x to 3x more damage than him. Beyond that, I am liking the difficulty of the game, making me have to stop and level some more, the overpriced items help with that as well. Not to mention that the overabundance of Flan type enemies and my parties constant inability to keep mages in my party means I'm actually using all those magic casting items in my inventory which is a nice change of pace.
