And finished Future Connected...
Tbh, and this might be a very hot take...
Much better than the main game.
Or to explain it more clearly: It's how i expected the main game to be (but on a grander scale of course)
Fun Sidequests (some that come with even Bonus character interaction & Lore), Character interaction & focus, more Melia and most importantly...
0 Monado!
Future Connected basically removed almost everything i complained about and added what i actually needed from the main game.
Honestly, the Extra Story felt like it was basically: Shulk & Melia in a classic Ys game. All about the adventure and interacting with Characters. I mean, even the OST is Ys-y. Just compare these 2 Time stamps. XBFC and YsO. Even the little NPC we had in the Extra Story are better that the NPC of all main game combined.
I just wish we got some more
Honestly, i have only 2 complaints about the Extra Story
8/10 for extra Story 👍
