SPOILER WARNING

Current Game: Star Ocean Second Story R |

In this episode of The XP Log, I dive into my recent hours with Star Ocean: The Second Story R and ask the question—am I just efficient… or was I totally oblivious?

I’ve been moving through the game at a solid pace, feeling pretty good about my progress—only to find out I’ve missed a bunch of side content. So now I’m wondering: what even counts as “rushing” a game? Can you explore, enjoy the story, and still unknowingly skip a ton?

Let’s talk about how some games subtly hide their secrets, why every RPG doesn’t need to hold your hand, and how being “efficient” can sometimes mean flying right past the good stuff.
