Rift crystals are an in game currency, you don't need to pay money for it! I've been recruiting companions 1-4 lvls above me all the time, I'm lvls 30 now, with the in game currency. The higher the pawn is you get less exp so it's not something that you should do anyway.

Imagine thinking that renting a LVL 200 companion is core gameplay. Geez...

This game is an improvement over the first one in almost all sides, with great content. It's stupid reading all this takes from people that clearly have not played it, let alone the original.

And before you mention the eternal ferrystone from the original, that came with the expansion, not the release.

    It’s ok that I can buy in game currency for my singer player game! It’s fine! It’s good actually! Recruiting high level companions, a THING THEY BUILT INTO THE BASE GAME DELIBERATELY THEN LET YOU PAY EXTRA FOR, using in game currency I can buy isn’t pay2win. Recruiting companions isn’t even core gameplay if they’re strong enough, bro.

    It’s ok that Capcom sent reviewers a game without micro transactions that were in retail! That’s fine, it’s fine! The microtransactions were paying for now were expansions before so it’s uh…it’s better, yeah. I actually prefer my $70 USD single player games to have gameplay benefitting microtransactions.

    You sound like you’ve swallowed the boot my guy. You’re so far gone you can’t see the way back. Glad you’re enjoying the game, though. Sounds like it was worth it to you.

    I'm gonna ignore all that stuff you extrapolated from my strawman.

    Anyway, of course I'm enjoying it! I loved the original and this is the same and more. This is a great game with BS corporate microtransactions sprinkled in. I agree that the MTXs are BS, but saying that the game was designed around baiting the player into using them outs you as someone that wouldn't enjoy the first one nor the intended gameplay, so it's kinda pointless dosucssing further.

    Have fun lying to yourself about the intended mechanics I guess.
