I may have aggressively worded my post which I will admit. But in a nutshell it’s one of those self pitying dialogues, accompanied by a “let me tell you a story” and there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s to be expected because it’s a classic. I’m not saying XV is without it’s faults either, it’s got just as much…

But nobody talks like that. It’s awkward, stereotypical jrpg fantasy dialogue. XV is fantasy based in reality, the dialogue is grounded in it’s realism to flesh out personalities beyond a trope.
