Meaningless Battles...

[Jojoya]

Anyone else kind of OVER Square Enix lazy writing? Namely, battles that mean nothing.

Scripted fights that force you to lose, and serious boss battles where winning means nothing.


Winning the battle, and losing in the cut scene is a favourite trope of Square Enix and I'm kind of over it?

Like, give the villian a back up plan, make something else happen. Make my win feel like it mattered.

Quit letting villian's shake off asskickings.

Most recent update, the cut scene made that whole fight mean nothing, and I felt as if the work I put into winning was for nothing.

Eh, dunknow...it wouldn't be a big deal if they didn't pull this shit at LEAST once an Xpac?

just me?

Killing everything on a first encounter would be rather boring. It would also end the story very quickly, leaving nothing to do.

As for what happens in 6.4, isn't that the villain calling on their back-up plan when they realize they can't win against us through their own strength?

Things just handed to you tend to have less meaning than the things you have to put effort into getting.

Naw, nobody wants anything handed to them. We just want the story to reward our victories, and better writing to progress the main plot.

And which of my previous posts are you referring to?

Are you once again taking things out of context just because you've decided to pick on me then use your alt accounts to upvote yourself?

You could at least try saying something constructive if you disagree with me instead of going on the attack but then I guess we really can't expect better of you.

I’d just ignore this alt account. Still laughing in another thread they tried to pretend to be an anti-drama saint but here they are rudely attacking others and stirring the pot for no reason once again.
