I love JRPGs, I love FF games, but his words "tedious, sub-Hollyoaks, dramatic nonsense featuring the standard collection of Japanese video game cliches." are spot on. Don't kid yourselves about what you enjoy, they are great games with entertaining story if you like that level of drama, but in any real story sense compared to some things in other medias, its laughable. e is also right about people pretending to like things just because their console has it, I'd bet money a lot of 360 owning FF haters have suddenly dissapeared, replaced by FF fans. |
That's why we have lower standards for video game stories than for the stories in literature. The only video game story that would translate well into a novel and be praised by literature critics would be Planescape Torment
