Huh, I just re-read Daemon's review, I don't see where he bashes the genre itself. He simply states that the game is doing nothing new, which could be forgivable if it was doing what it does well, but it doesn't.

Well besides him basically dissing the genre as a whole in the initial paragraph, he complained about new equipment being available when you reach a new town. He seems to forget about the synthesis system which is also away to acquire new gear.  More importantly, new gear becoming available at new towns describes the vast majority of JRPGs.

 

Ugh, that's something I hate about RPG's, jRPG's especially. I don't see why he's not allowed to complain about that, it's certainly something they could improve upon. It happens in tRPG's too, and it's always annoying.

Oh they certainly can change things up when it comes to procuring equipment but Daemon's review seems to make it seem like it's outside of the norm. In The Last Remnant for example, you can only upgrade your lead characters equipment directly. As you find materials or weapons through the course of the game, the other characters ask for them. It can be annoying at times but it's pretty cool overall.
