| DeguelloNWR said: I'm just really tired of people claiming Final Fantasy Tactics is deep. By even short story and play standards, it's horrible. When you get more educated, you can find pleasure in finding literary, mythical, psychological, and other links in any game story, which includes such personae non grata as Super Mario, Pokemon, etc. Mario has very deep psychoanalytic roots and Pokemon can really be seen as a treatise for environmentalism and protection of endangered species. |
I understand what you mean, as a student of English literature. More nuanced and subtle storytelling is a definite plus - it's why I tend to think of Final Fantasy XII as being the best game in the series and Final Fantasy VII as being one of the worst (though X is easily the worst, unless it improves dramatically).
That might be reading too deeply into Pokemon, though.
