Alright I give up, I tap out, I'm out.

I'm sorry these games could be the second coming of JRPGesus and I still wont care. Combat is sooooo boring, but not nearly as boring as the characters and the story.

The last three sit down sessions with this game have been me begging the characters to shut the fuck up and they just keep talking and I can't standing it. They talk and talk and somehow manage to not say anything.

So I'm out. I'm not suffering through this when there is no payoff later because according to videos I've watching the dialog stays mostly the same and the combat doesn't really change that much. So nope....forget it. Fuck these games.
Wanna do Ninja 🥷Gaiden or No More Heroes ?

There's clearly a market for this overwritten writing style, not only apparent from the Trail game popularity, but also Genshin Impact has the same sort of "why use few words when many can do?" style (I've found myself actually yelling "STFU!" at Genshin on more than one occasion).

Personally I don't think its necessary and I think some of the other features of the game story (large persistent world across multiple entry) could work without it. I wonder what they'll do for the remake.
