In interesting note someone on Discord pointed out: it said Chapter 7 - NOT Chapter 7 Part 1, so this would hopefully mean we get en entire chapter's worth this time instead of 2 conversations and a few pointless enemy kills. I think having a timed quest feels more healthy than combat sectors because it's easy to jump back in, but also easy to leave without feeling like you might miss something that pops up just as you're leaving. I liked this format in quests like the Burning Rangers quest for the anniversary event, and having time instead of quest points means there's no limit to success in one run, but also the quest won't drag on and on if low-points stuff keeps spawning. :) EX Augments are a huge plus, with Eredim weapons being more common, specifically for the purpose of being EX Aug drops, though for my money, they sound pretty good for now thanks to that increased crit rate. A high-Termina one could be very good. JF counter seems interesting when paired with chasing counters or skills that actually follow sidestep counter actions. Actually a surprising amount of little details in this that seem to benefit defensiveness, like the increased damage taken when holding Exploration Points in NCE. This format holds together way better for NGS gameplay going forward. Curious to see what the next roadmap (probably will be shown next week) will hold as far as maybe seeing another location that works this way. My biggest issue with NGS has been its concept just being too efficiency-based. Makes sense only on paper. Nameless city adds up their work in a format that's more open, while still feeling more quest-based. It IS kind of silly how they'll show like 30 seconds of the content that we'll actually spend most of our time on when it releases, just because it takes so much time to show off tons of items you're selling. XD The music for the Sonic quest is Sand Hill from Sonic Adventure 1, so I think you should be good. :D Hiro actually said "Roll around at the speed of sound". XD
