Since you’ve played it, I do have a couple of questions.
1). I haven’t played really any JRPGs before so is this game friendly to newcomers or not really? It looks really beautiful and that caught my eye when I first saw it
2). Do I need to play the previous one to understand what’s going on?
Its because the launch of the game is when a game, especially a niche genre gets sales. Since denuvo has a recurring cost to using it, how early its removed is dependant on sales.
