Kinda fucks me up that the final boss of raidou remastered was the only one where the new combat system actually felt like a meaningful improvement over the old one to me

This isn't to say that it's not good to have wide breadth of knowledge and experience, but 'the youth are wrong, they need to look at the real classics' like I saw some people posting to this is absolutely off.

Which would have gotten you laughed out of the room if you said they'd be what would create some of the most impressive works of the 20th century in terms of mass media pop culture.

Or to put it another way, it's staggering how many things people hold up as as absolute classics where made because the creator was really into some 'low culture creation' from their childhood. Pulp novels and radio serials that were never meant to be more than disposable.

If you want to talk about why media landscapes keep regurgitating nostalgia so blatantly, it's not the fault of artists not looking 'outside' (whatever that means when anything can be outside for someone depending on their own experience).

It's because various media companies own the rights to certain properties and want them (or things very similar to them) to be made into perpetuity for the sake of profit.

I kind of hate how everyone claps along to this whenever if comes around when, if you think about it, it's the most boomer-ass take possible.

The author of the novels that inspired Shin Megami Tensei and Persona says developers should take more inspiration from other media to invent new gameplay systems.
If they only take inspiration from games they'll just make the same games, he says.

I wouldn’t even disagree with the common critique of FFXIII having underwhelming antagonists but I also think the game interrogating how the average citizen (including your party) is complicit in the actions of the evil empire is more interesting than an individual antagonist so I don’t mind that
