@@Bodwaizer Having recently finished Chapter 9 after 60 hours of playing the open world.. this is sadly true. I can't even understand what caused them to design the story like this. The game's had really strange decisions, and multiple jump cuts in the story ("several days later" meme style), and so many control lockouts and other weird slowness.. It's, not bad, but it's just, it doesn't feel great. It's better than Forswoken, that's for sure, but it still is a very flawed game. Shocking to think the last GOOD Final Fantasy was on the PS2, released in 2006. Though, I preferred 10, which was also on the PS2, in 2001. That era of gaming will never come back.

You wanna talk about immersion-breaking??

Not only is she super happy-go-lucky about things that she sees for the first time, but the model itself is so expressionless whenever she does.....anything. It makes it so hard to care about anything that happens around you when the protagonist themselves doesn't seem to care.

I was wondering about that. Normally, the gear you get in a game even if it's just for your character fits the game's world or has an explanation for why it's unique.

I wouldn't say that the 'Isekai' genre is a japanese genre per say. A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs follows John Carter, a Virginian Ex-Civil war soldier who gets transported from a desert cave to the surface of Mars is an early example of this same story type. The other obvious example would be The Wizard of Oz. Both of these stories existed far before the creation of the 'Isekai' genre and there were undoubtedly 100s of lesser known stories that followed a similar structure beforehand.

[@alekzanderor5489]

well, as i understand japan "isekai"s have extra neccesary part of transported hero being worthless in original world and borderline all powerful in a new one, so its at least a subgenre

[@Dizzifying1]

@@alekzanderor5489 John Carter is all powerful on Mars. Due to Earth's gravity being so much stronger than Mars's, he is able to jump miles of distance and his skin/skeletal structure can resist almost all of the Martian weaponry. He is the edge that allows for the resistance to fight back. Dorothy immediately killed one of the wicked witches upon her arrival to Oz and within days had slain the second and more powerful witch. She had also been blessed by the Good witch within minutes of landing in Oz. The world (though part of her imagination) kind of bends its knee to her in almost every way.

Like what was the point of saving these people and make them think you're gonna save their world when you just leave them with no consequences. I wish a little more thought was put, like maybe after defeating Athia Susurrus is coming for our world and the only chance to defeat him was lost when Frey left back to New York.

Wait until Joe and Co. realize Forspoken already had a concept trailer waaay back then in the form of Final Fantasy: Agni's Philosophy, with a clearly designed protagonist, and a theme that was far from any "modern audience" or "New York" idea randomly shoehorned in a Final Fantasy themed game. Imagine how this game could've been if they just went in and actually followed through with Agni's Philosophy. People really liked Agni's trailer and got FF fans talking about it, asking for a game to be made about it, which led to this game coming to existence. Way to go Squeenix.

“I’m rooting for the fire, to be honest.” 😂 The thing that irritated me about this game is Frey’s constant whining about having to go on a fantasy adventure and being gifted with amazing powers after wishing for exactly something like that to happen.

[@SpartanArmy117]

Yep 100%. If you're doing the fish out of water thing then make the protagonist have the same sense of wonder we do exploring the world. Also, probably an unpopular opinion, but if you're going to do the whole wise cracking A hole thing, make them male. Sorry but it's just the truth. This stuff is always way worse when it's a female protagonist.
