I don't think the former's so bad, but locking content behind choices you can only make once per playthrough is ultimate cancer. See the golden armor you can forge in Tales of the Abyss: There are three different pieces of armor you can forge and you can only forge one piece of armor per playthrough.

Tetris Probably the best example I could think of is this, though I'll admit the "x lines are already generated with one empty space in each" mode is amazing since good rng can give you a Tetris in the first quarter second and that's gosh darned amazing Especially since a Tetris makes it so all line clears from that point on will have the blocks disappear a little faster --- Pew pew! <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:914039767] in No game is...

You're probably thinking of Symphonia, abyss didn't have anything like that. They DID have one or two "literally cannot get these in your first playthrough" things related to difficulty but that was it. Of course, abyss was also the #1 biggest example in the series of why carrying over levels with the grade shop was a bad idea. Symphonia doesn't need the stats since basically everything can be stunlocked and para balled to death which is more tp based than anything But abyss only could let you get 1 tutti whatever things for the +4 in every stat as you level up, meaning it takes to playthrough 7 to optimally level up everyone without issue, playthrough 5 if you make sure to leave certain characters dead if somebody with it left the party for awhile and you can't swap it off of them --- Pew pew! <cite>gunplagirl posted [p:914039964] in No game is...
