The heros being split after Ul dah yet somehow coming back together due to happen stance isnt anime at all. I could go on and on. ARR thru SB weren't these Uber dark n gritty expacs folks claim imo. It seems death counts and the absence of light hearted anything equates to better writing to some. Its almost like a fetish at this point or something.
I didnt say there werent "anime moments" but they were indeed darker themed, the main cast had consequences and didnt get everything handed to them so there was a proper balance between light hearted and darker and meaningful. Whereas now its heavily skewed towards fluff light hearted moments and the main cast always getting what they want with 0 consequences. But sure, denounce it as a fetish if thats what helps you understand these things. ?Yet you claim to not argue in bad faith in other threads lmao please.

Either way i would rather actually get a canon story that contributes to the world building and lore of the game rather than a series of comedy non-canon side quests that contribute very little to the story but....seeing as how fanserive and cute adorable moments gets everyone screaming and crying i guess thats the crowd theyre catering to now.
