recent: tears of the kingdom, or as i like to call it botw 1.2, its the same thing all over again just with one or two added gimicks, the open world is dead, npcs are boring and nintendo just got away with it like that

not so recent: i cant stand persona 5, joker and his entourage are annoying teenagers, the time management is a horrible gameplay addition and the artstyle is just a visual overstimulation

with that being said,~~ plz dont kill me~~

    1. Kingdom Hearts: I played the first for some time and watched some videos of the series, but I don’t get the appeal. The character design is strange, the story does not hit me on an emotional level and the Disney characters… Just no.

    2. Final Fantasy: Played 7 and X and just like Kingdom Hearts, it just did not hit me on any level. It is strange, because I love JRPGs like the Legend of Heroes series.

      I’m with you on FF. I played VII, because at that point in time, especially where I’m from (small, inconsequential country with a low population and before the internet hit it big, we were always months behind on trends), you just played any title presented to you by others with a PS.

      My siblings and I mostly played the demos that came with free PC magazines as we couldn’t afford much else lol.

      All of that rambling to say: Even then, when I didn’t have much else, it bored me to tears. It was so wordy, but without the type of substance I enjoy, the battles were tedious (though I enjoy other types of turnbased combat - like xcom), the style was cute, but I did not enjoy the mishmash of characters (similar feelings on Kingdom Hearts which you also mentioned), it didn’t feel irreverent, it felt inconsistent to me.

      I can completely understand why others might enjoy it though. I tried playing other FF titles, because the games are quite different to each other, but unfortunately couldn’t get into them. But hey ho, everything can’t be for everyone.
