girlofpreyIt turns out I'm an incredibly naive person who really thought Trails of Cold Steel was ever, ever, ever, ever going to end. Why reward people who have played your game for 140 hours, knowing there are two more games to come, with just the end of the story, so they can see what happens? Why do that when you can send them into the longest, most ridiculously stupid back-and-forth dungeon you can, for the stupidest fucking reason - the characters, who are schoolchildren, want to fight the monsters in there not to save the world, but so their school can stay open another day and they and another class can put on a performance for the school festival. But no, make us run through it, fill it with monsters that are really difficult to kill on their own, especially when you have to fight one after another after another without much opportunity for healing - and then finally, make them fight one huge boss monster, that's really tough to kill, does a huge amount of damage to your fighters, can suck one of your characters into a prison so they can't fight anymore, and can summon other monsters which if you don't kill them quickly enough, just put the rest of your fighters to sleep.
And even if I kill the boss monster, it's still not over! I still have to watch a day's worth of cutscenes, and that fucking school concert. I was looking forward to it! But I didn't realise I would have to fight through hell to get there. I'll probably even have to play through sections, after this. I don't care. I don't care. I used to like this game, and now I don't care. What a magical way to end the game.
Is this why people hate JRPGs? Because I don't want to understand that feeling, but I do.
I just want to play Nuka-World. That's a terrible reason to want to finish a game, because the game you really love is waiting for you, and probably I should have made a push to finish it before now, but sfhaskfjhaskj. I didn't realise the game was going to make it impossible. I'm going to have to weaken the enemies, so the fight's easier. I've never done that before in the game, no matter how bad things got, and now I am because I just don't care. I want to see the end of the game.
I have been playing for five hours since my last post, and I'm still not done. I stayed up till 2am last night trying to finish it.
I'm very tired.
I just want to finish it. I just want to see what the end is. I don't care enough about Rean, or the Old Schoolhouse, to care about what these fights mean.
