Imagine you're a dude who used to be able to get any girl you want. 9s and 10s all day long. You let the success get to your head, you get messed up on drugs, and after you get clean, you're really screwed up and the only thing you can attract are 1s and 2s. You have Artie Lange's nose and a meth head's skin, so you just take what you can get.

After a few years of being clean, it's time for a real change. You hit the gym, get a makeover, maybe some plastic surgery, and work on yourself. You've fixed a lot, which is great, but the old scars are still there, which prevents you from attracting those 9s you were banging when you were younger.

Still, you've moved up to attracting 5s and 6s, maybe even a 7 on a good day. Given where you were at rock bottom, that 6 sure does feel like a 10, even though her flaws are readily apparent.

That's Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Square has been dog shit for so long that anything even remotely good gets overblown as the greatest thing ever.

I think that's a better allegory for Sonic Mania, at least when it comes to its performance in the last contest.
