The target demo for Final Fantasy, Persona, && Dragon Quest is historically teenagers. As a 13 year old, I promise you I wasn't ready for "subtle grief" 😭
it's small the remnants were finally blown up
but surprisingly it was starting to get better right before they decided to truly gut it all
but that's pretty much gone
Man I'm so tired. I still remember people at the time complaining about *checks notes* FFVII being childish because it had SD characters!!!
(Sorry for barging into your replies but I've been reading this same take for decades at this point)
