okay so for all of the "World has such a slow start lol you have to sit through SO MANY CUTSCENES"

I just tried starting a new character on Rise, to make sure I wasn't crazy again

if you're doing the village quests, it's.... like more than an hour and a half in before you can even see a large monster or hear the name of one

multiple NPCs lampshade how much of your time they are wasting, because "lol you didn't need to talk to me to get the license anymore" or "actually i dont have quests for you right now" or whatever...... and then a tutorial box pops up giving you the exact same information. every single time.

constant tutorial boxes, actually. the very first second you get control of your character, before you can even touch the left stick, you get a dialog box that requires multiple button presses and a selection to close... telling you that you can move with the left stick.

........ and then, after you close it. "(LS) Move" pops up on your screen without interrupting you.

i just. i wanna talk to whoever did the UX on this game. i want to ask them what the fuck drugs they enjoy.

you can't touch the options (to say, turn off the tutorial, fix your graphics settings, change subtitles, change language) at all during the opening tutorial, so if you fucked up and started with tutorial on, you might as well actually delete your character and restart

i'm certain there's a good game in here somewhere but i don't know how you get to it without dying of boredom
