Dont play the games then lol

I dont like most final fantasy games. I dont sit here and go "WHY DONT THEY CHANGE THE GAMES TO CATER TO ME!!!!"

I loved the "They'll never make money with the games being too hard!". Despite almost all the games having commercial success to.

And again, this is an argument that only EVER gets applied to soulsborne games.

We don't go "well just don't play the game then! No need to change it to cater to you!" when someone criticizes Pikemon games for cutting content. Or when people say they'd prefer Final Fantasy to go back to an ATB system over Action RPG mechanics. Or when people say BotW would have been better with more traditional dungeons, or without breakable weapons. PLENTY of developers make "artistic" choices that sizeable chunks of players think the game would be better without.

Fuck the entire REALM of movie critique is based on deciding if artistic choices were good or bad, or whether it would be better with or without them. Hell, it's basically the sole determining factor in whether it ends up received as "good" or not.

Souls is straight up the ONLY franchise I've seen where every single facet of its design is somehow above criticism.
