watching a stream of ff16 and it’s wild how the story is, to be overly generous, trying to do the same thing as ff12 and completely failing in every way. the amount of blunt, boring, wholly unnecessary exposition as dialogue is killing me

more sinister than intimidating

a game by people who like the ivalice games, but have no idea how to write them
even that is being too generous. it’s shocking the degree to which game of thrones is the primary (really, only) inspiration for this whole game. think i’m about halfway thru the game and it keeps piling on more and more of the game of thrones elements. feels like one of those dogshit star wars shows where the only inspiration point for it is “we wanted to make star wars”
