Same and then I waste a chunk of money trying to find it and it doesn't hold up. I'm currently trying my best to not buy a JRPG after Clair Obscur cause I know I won't find one that hold up to the standard cemented here and instead I'm just gonna Replay the game on a fresh save file, why try and find another when the best is already in your hands. |
To me, the analogue would be playing Final Fantasy 6 or 7, deciding those games were the be-all, end-all, of RPGs, and then never playing another RPG after that. Thinking like that would have cheated me out of playing gems like Lunar, SaGa Frontier, Breath of Fire, Suikoden, etc, not to mention all the games that came out over the next quarter century. FF7 actually made me want to explore its genre of gaming more, and even if some of them weren't as highly polished, they were still enjoyable experiences in their own right, and some of which I ended up enjoying more than "the best," Lunar and Lunar 2 being an example of that.
The genres where I didn't play a lot of other games in that genre after playing a certain game, were genres that weren't my favorite genres to begin with.
