6 Minutes in and I already want to give that youtuber a medal.

"these accessories" (that make FFXVI easier) "are optional, of course but they are emblematic of Creative Studio 3's fear, that a player may be unable to overcome a gameplay challenge and as a result to experience the next cutscene. Thus they build their games to be nearly impossible to fail, smoothing out the rough textures that make playing video games interesting, and then they hide and semblance of challenge as far out of view as possible, out of fear that you might be scared of. All in service of storytelling."

FFXIV MSQ in a nutshell, yep. Doesn't help of course that whenever CS3 does ask the player for something, some players are up in arms against it.

This, but also FF16 felt very... MMO time waste-y.
Why were the multiple instances of locked gates that I needed to run around talking to random townspeople to get past? Why are you wasting my time with this in a single player game in lieu of something more exciting?
