Have you been helping the people in need on the last 12 hours? Or you're just being a salty boy replying to someone else's fun?

I made an account just so that I could tell you how much I enjoyed this reply, well said.

Having a life means doing things you enjoy.

Once I buy it, it's too late to say what I want in it so that's a stupid argument.

Can we agree that trailers are meant to show the most interesting aspects of a game? Can we say that much? Because that's what I'm working with, and again—what I've seen from the trailers has only impressed me on a gameplay level, not a narrative one. Again: I'm fully willing to change my mind once we have more…

Technically, it's a masterpiece. I won't argue the gameplay mechanics and everything else we've seen aren't cutting edge.

*Yawn*

Which is another discussion the bleeds into this one, to be sure. (I'm also of the mind the move for an all-male team of protags has more to do with Otaku than anything else, tbh.)

You're right, and that's my mistake. I should have said "sexist" instead of misogynistic. Apologies.

You're kind of misinterpreting my what I'm saying. I find it to be lazily written in that I've seen everything they're offering before, not because it's all about dudes—the fact that it's about dudes is what contributes to that.

I'm not saying they should feel obligated, or even that the game shouldn't exist because of their design choices. I'm not knocking the game's mechanics or the beauty of it or even anything of the like—I'm saying that, given an infinite amount of choice in regards to the creation of the game, focusing on the story of…

Okay, lemme break it down for you.

I'm betting you'd feel differently if 95% of the games you played featured female-only protagonists.

Isn't it just terrible when customers would like to get what they want?

I am fully allowing my opinion to change once SE releases more information about it. No problem there, to be honest; but as it stands now?

The minimal amount of footage we have has shown that the female characters involved in the main portions of the plot are stereotypes and look to be non-characters in the grand scheme of the story. That's what I'm complaining about (mostly)

I'm not calling it the end of the world, I'm calling it lazy writing and a step backwards from the wonderful track record that SE has with representation and FF as a series on the whole.

It's unfair in the sense that the creators...have literal carte blanche to do whatever they want. They can make Noctis a forty-foot tall naked cannibal hellbent on getting his kingdom back by uniting warring tribes of Cactuar, they can make said kingdom deal in ice cream cones as weaponry and have an entire army made…

FFX-2 was a great game for me. It finished the story of Yuna and capped FFX with a happy ending—and that's regardless of the game only having playable female characters.

"Enough representation."
