I also think you should’ve mentioned the additions made to the battle system that make this RPG that was designed as an entry level first for an entire generation of kids in a time when RPGs didn’t sell in the west even easier than it already was. The multi-attack for better timing, ally buffs tied to chaining, and limit break style attacks make combat almost entirely inconsequential until the game is over. “Woke” can manifest itself in game design as well, not just in the narrative elements, and the gradual elimination of challenge in mainstream video games is becoming another one of those issues nobody seems to be allowed to talk about.

Thanks for the heads up. This is exactly why we keep the comments section open.
