I don't get the complaints about the Orobas Fjords. I've been exploring that area since yesterday and enjoying it as much as the previous areas.
I'm a bit pissed off about something though…
Spoiler – After acquiring the Battle Tower…
I didn't realize so many areas were going to be closed off to me after getting the Battle Tower. There were several unique pieces of equipment I left in certain places because I didn't have room to carry them at the time, and now I guess they're lost to me.
The game warns you that you wouldn't be able to return to parts of Broken Valley after killing Laiken, but it didn't indicate that places like Sentinel Island and Maxos' Tower would also be closed off.
