Guess which game I'm talking about

>Rookie who doesnt have a week on the team who is way over his head being cocky
>Gets btfo immediatly
Anyone reading this may think of Akira from Astral Chain, recently playing SMT IV Apocalypse made me dislike Asahi immediatly because of this. it boils my blood, seeing these retards even if they get their comeuppance.

I thought the big meat of the game were the seeds.

All those secret weapons and items in Oracle of Ages/Seasons on Gameboy Color. What's the point of having the Master Sword or Big Goron's Sword if i've already done everything there is to do?

But you didn't beat medium or easy.

There isn't even a real reward for that. I'm sure the only reason there are so many, is so that everyone will find a decent amount of seeds without trying too hard.

>What's the point of having the Master Sword or Big Goron's Sword if i've already done everything there is to do?
You're supposed to use them in the 2nd game, user. Not in the one you've already completed.

wtf I only did 46 and I thought I got most. Where are they hiding?
That's a shit ton of stamina.

>Game has the most fiercely autistic fanbase

Reminder that BW2's "Easy Mode" is a lie since enemy stat numbers don't change at all, just the level number, so you're effectively playing Normal Mode with less exp gain, ironically making it harder

I really dislike having to unlock harder difficulties.
Uncharted was terrible with this.

this is probably the only time you see him not be an angsty teenager

>To Brother Gil - Bro, I found the sword, like you told me. But there were two. One of 'em had a lame name, Something II. It was a dingy, old thing with flashy decorations, something you'd probably like. So I went with Excalipur. I'll be back after I find the Tin Armor.

You can get a total of three bars, including the default. Then it caps. There actually aren't enough shrines to cap both hearts and stamina.

fucking alundra does this shit way too often...

Final Fantasy has never been high literature, but it had never veered into hack shonen territory before FFXIII. Even FFVIII, which had a similar plan, at least made it seem somewhat plausible.

Nothing gets me more furious. Atleast have the boss power up temendously and body you via gameplay instead of doing it in a cutscene

I was thinking of EYE divine cybermancy, haven't played that one.

Factually incorrect, the stats do change. However, even with that, simply gaining less exp makes it overall harder.

I was thinking ToS with the character titles you get at the inn late in the game.

>supposed to lose to boss

>your hours of dedicated grinding and preparing and even modding in order to have the satisfaction all for nothing when the game will not allow you to lower the bosses HP below 1

It's tolerable if it gives you a short cutscene afterwards commenting on the fact that you beat them and/or just the normal cutscene slightly modified to account for it. What'd really be cool is if you could beat the presumed unwinnable fight against the Big Bad Evil Guy before he gets his gauntlet of ultimate power or whatever and the game just ends to credits right there. An alt ending like that would be cool and would be nice if the boss just straight up kicked you ass instead of being absolutely unwinnable even if you're good.

>starting weapon actually secretly becomes the best weapon late game
>game allows you to sell/toss/destroy it with no way of getting it back

That was already datamined to hell and back, there's nothing more.

That or characters talking during heavy action moments. Hated that during the Daemon x Machina demo

It was merely a setback

>You have less health and literally nothing else changes

>Game breaks the 4th wall all of a sudden

Unless the game already shows us that it will break that wall from the beginning (even then it's questionable for me), that's a load of bullshit
