I’m a Home penny-pincher everybody knows that, but ndreams did great so far on Xi2 and their idea of doing the intro before we spend 1 penny is brilliant the voice overs are great, outside of wishing it had more of the voice overs I’ll give Xi2 my KLC certified 9 outta 10. And yes Seal, I noticed the homeling thing too, and I instantly thought of you.

I was there for Xi and at the time it really didn’t strike me as amazing as it seems to have been for so many other people. It made Home more interesting at the time, but other than that I don’t see why it built so much hype. Maybe because I’m younger? I don’t know. A lot of those puzzles and clues were things I never would have picked up on or been able to solve without the guides posted on the forums.

I’ve been pretty indifferent to Xi Continuum since it was announced. It’s too bad some of the forum goers have been upset by the pay to play access. They seem like bigger Xi fans than I ever could be, so it’s kinda strange someone like me is willing to support nDreams and their efforts to bring us another interesting experience in Home.

I’m very impressed with what I’ve seen so far — basically the intro sequence and the initial state of the Vertigo apartment. Xi: Continuum seems a lot more story-driven than the original. It feels like a disc-based title, possibly from the PS1 era. This is not a complaint, mind you — PS1 included such classics as Final Fantasy VII and VIII. I think we’re in for a wild ride.

Did anyone else do a major doubletake when EatFlamingDeath addresses your character as “little homeling”? Since I was playing in Homeling General form at the time, I wondered for a brief moment whether the AI was a heck of a lot more advanced than I had expected. Then I realized it was lower-case “homeling”, a citizen of Home. But it still gave me the warm-and-fuzzies.

I too wondered if Xi would live up to it’s myth, but judging from the reactions of the people who have played the original that I have talked to already about it after only the first day, they are very happy with their purchase. So I guess nDremas is off to a good start.
