the thing i find most strange about this current wave of pr about don’t worry you can skip the grinding, you can speed up the cutscenes, don’t even worry man is that ff7 (original) is so simple it was a not insignificant of people’s literal first game ever and it sold a billion playstations

And the weird thing is Square can be doing this for ages. Every modern port of their classic games has a plethora of auto win buttons to let you skip actually playing the game. I think adding quick saves and speed up is harmless enough but instant lv 99?

i imagine this drives every developer up the wall that for big budget works the median fan probably likes around 40% of the game and actively resents the rest of it being there

This is low-key how I've been feeling with the new Fire Emblem. When I'm doing the main maps and the story I'm like "this is an incredible game, I love this". Then they want me to do boring open world exploration and I'm like, "damn I wish this game was 100 hrs shorter and just the good parts".

sorry if we made a game like the binding blade today without running around a hub talking to people and picking up items we’d all be fired by thursday
