Ummm, not really? You could swap out any or all of the Persona 5 cast and the overarching PLOT would stay largely the same. The story (I.E. the culmination of plot, character, setting, background, tone, style, etc. etc.) would not be, because a large part of Persona 5's story is focused on the individual characters,…

I mean, I think by ‘story’ they mean ‘plot’. Nier’s plot is a psychotic puzzle to piece together, and even then it was probably its closest competition, Persona 5's plot would be kind of terrible if you took the focus off of the characters and Hellblade, like all (good) Ninja Theory games, is almost entirely about the…

I can live with Horizon winning Story only because Character is a different category and Horizon didn’t have a lot of competition in terms of plot focused games.

Like... are you asking why they wrote it this way, or why T’Chaka did it? If you’re asking why T’chaka screwed up, it’s because he felt intense shame at killing his brother when his brother was only doing what he thought was right.

And showing children in compromising sexualized depictions.

Aaaand P4 came out about 3 years before that.

I’d imagine by making a salad and not owning a salad spinner.

Is squinty-eyed narcoleptic bandit supposed to be an insult?

Getting a game for one fourth of its full value does not mean they owe you all future products for proportionally less.

What’s to question. Dude didn’t die dignified.

I feel like this show wants to have its cake and eat it too. It wants to be some great metaphor about puberty and sex, but then it also wants to (literally) objectify its very young female cast.

Maybe if you left Martin Starr out in the sun too long and he kind of shriveled up

Is that... Nidhogg? Kind of weird that of all the XIV stuff they could have put up they chose him...

Fahey, I cannot strongly enough recommend starting with Dragon Ball, if you can get around the dated visuals, and occasionally dated humor.

See, it’s Trigger? They don’t need to give me a reason to drop the show, they have to convince me the show is actually worth picking up.

She is not fully grown, physically or emotionally. 18 is the age where we stop throwing middle aged men in prison for dating them, not where we stop judging them for it.

Dude, you need to come to grips with something that may have had innocent intent being co-opted by people who do not. What may have been an innocent joke for some is used to GREAT LENGTHS of racism for others. That’s not your fault, but you can’t just be blind to it.

My point is it’s kind of silly to compare a game to the 4th game in a series that premiered almost a year after it.

I think the window for nuance was lost when the girls bend over to become literally the controls for the mech, while the pilot steers their ass.

Dude, Final Fantasy 4 is four years newer than Dragon Warrior 2.
