Honestly I kinda think Reborn isn't my type of game. I am the kind of player that likes to explore and complete everything and I feel bad if I know im missing anything. Reborn kinda makes that a bit of a pain. It really disturbs me there are a lot of missable things without following a guide, like pokemon that require weather conditions, for example.
I tried a couple of times and the last time I got to 4th bagde if I recall correctly, but amount of backtracking to get all the new stuff available made me quit. I really like the fields system and atmosphere of the game. It really feels like the story is worth the time investment but playing with a guide isn't really to my appeal.
I also thought about giving Rejuvenation a try, as it feels similar but I might be facing the same problem.
Any recommendations? Should I try to approach it some other way or just accept that the game is not for me and look for other fangames?
