Mystic tales are awesome but I wouldn't call them side quests really. Recon the side NPC quest stuff are a bit repetitive but they are based on old movies / TV shows which had similar themes. I just stopped doing them, still a huge game and plenty to do.Don't agree with this. I'm mid Act 2 and have been mostly doing the side quests and fillers. I think they're great. The mystic tales have been quite enjoyable and the duels are epic. They're as good as any other open world game bar the witcher 3.
The argument was against side quests AND fillers. As far as the side quest gameplay goes, I get what you mean, however I think it's more the story side that makes them. I've enjoyed Masako's family revenge, hearing about Norio's brother and not sure if you've done Yuna's SQs but ...Mystic tales are awesome but I wouldn't call them side quests really.

I've become OP but going to leave the difficulty on Normal as I'm enjoying taking down hordes of enemies with just the sword. In Act 2 and haven't lost a duel yet, unlocking all of the parry stuff straight away helped. Love the sword click scene...
side quests are trash and gets boring doing the same filler over and over again. So many other open world games do it better.
I suppose they are side quests but those hand crafted personal stories are great. Definitely doing all of those along the way and almost consider them part of the main quest.The argument was against side quests AND fillers.

Sneaking into a slaver camp, cutting the heads off Yuna's torturers from when she was a girl and mounting them on a spike in front of the camp was pretty epic! Moral of the story, don't piss off Jin!
Anyone else hate Lord Shimura?
Ah, you mean those general side quests? I wasn't even thinking about them. Yeh, they're nothing special but I'm ok with them.I suppose they are side quests but those hand crafted personal stories are great. Definitely doing all of those along the way and almost consider them part of the main quest.
You can still change it. I put it up to hard, I recommend it!Game is getting too easy the more abilities I unlock and the more I improve my character.
Should have put Hard mode but I was scared away by the early stages of the game (when things are actually difficult)

You don't like that hard mode makes parrying harder? That's kinda the point of it being hard mode!Yeah, definitely good for maintaining a bit of challenge mid-game when you start to steam roll. The one thing I don't like about it though is it seems to make the parrying window smaller, I can hardly pull them off any more, usually just dodge now.

when your horse dies
sh*t yeah that hit me in the feels just like when your horse dies in RDR2
Ha, yeah dunno what I was expecting I guess. The timing window does seem more unforgiving in general compared to something like the Batman games.You don't like that hard mode makes parrying harder? That's kinda the point of it being hard mode!
It's definitely trickier to parry, sometimes frustrating, particularly when a spearman jabs you like 3 times in row and you miss the timing each time. It definitely makes the duels more challenging, but more rewarding too.
Just beat it, damn, this game is good. Sure, loads of generic western open world elements but still really fun in general. The cinematics and art direction are stunning.
