Kind of torn between the two.

Sword Art Online seemed like an enjoyable game and looked like it had much more to explore and find than ALO, despite that SAO was technically smaller in terms of area and volume.

But SAO is a numbers game. Users with higher levels are the ones who'll come out on top. That's unless you're within a 5 level or so range, and know which moves to use at what times.

If SAO was a Reaction-based RPG, rather than a typical Stat-based RPG, i'd love to play it.

I've played a couple 2D Reaction-Based RPGs, and they are pretty fun, because often times, even a newly created character is able to fight older characters, so long as the person knows how to play well enough, and stats and such act as preferencial bonuses.
