Love having all my party members twiddling their thumbs defending and healing while one guy fails his steal rolls 10 times in a row

I extra love it if the steal move deals damage so you have to also worry about the target dying from too many failed attempts

I double extra love it when it's a boss battle when on top of everything else the story momentum just grinds to a halt while you fuck with a stupid RNG for 5 minutes

    So far 2 actually feels somewhat less like a Western than the first game. The first game had Jack:

    Show

    His jeans and the tassels on his coat contributed like 40% of that game's Western vibes. Funnily enough, he doesn't even use guns despite his special skill being named Fast Draw

    I also feel like some of the towns look really Western. Big metal windmills and water towers, saloony architecture etc.

    I feel like a ton of JRPGs have at least one town that looks like this

      I feel like Ashley Winchester in WA2 has the same vibes? He's using a musket, wearing jeans and a Western style button up, etc

        He just feels more like a young soldier type than a gunslinger or other strictly Western archetype to me
