Nick of All Nicks @kingnickolas.bsky.social · 16/11/2024why did they have to put school mechanics in fire emblem? you are an ancient warrior wizard man why do you need to go to school. 010
cyancorp19.bsky.social @cyancorp19.bsky.social · 16/11/2024There will always be at least 1. Since there will be new gamers coming up. It’s like asking for no more Madden titles. I try to focus on playing what I want and ignoring the things I know I don’t want. 010

zillion29 @zillion29.bsky.social · 15/11/2024That's like asking anime creators to stop making isekai's.🤣 There is somehow a neverending appetite in Japan for monotony, busywork, and repetition. 110

R͎obP͎layinG͎ames @robplayingames.bsky.social · 15/11/2024I still think Persona 6 should have an all (or mostly) adult cast where instead of a school, the majority of the team all work in the same office building. 250
Troy Gold @troygold.bsky.social · 15/11/2024Sales will dictate the trends. People love their Persona and/or "coming of age" stories so I can't see your wish coming true, sorry friend. 120
kurourameshi.bsky.social @kurourameshi.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I agree, but I think the Persona series does a really good job with the school setting imo 020

Meredisco @tritonianreptile.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I'd make an exception for Deltarune because you're in school for like 2 seconds and you can just skip the school part by sleeping in your bed if you want to 010

Ash @trashley69.bsky.social · 15/11/2024It was actually great on my first playthrough of Three Houses and it really got me immersed into the lives of the characters inhabiting the world, but on second playthroughs yeah… it gets tedious very quickly. 120
Nova (but not the cool astronomy version) @ohhellnova.bsky.social · 15/11/2024I'd sell at least one of my kidneys for a farming sim-esque game WITHOUT a bs energy mechanic. 020
Valen @valenluxx.bsky.social · 16/11/2024I really like P5, but more for the story than the classes building of relationships. And to be fair to the new Pokemon game, the classes were 100% optional unless you're a completionist. But were they necessary in the first place? N... No. Absolutely not. 010

OncoMouse37 @oncomouse37.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Yeah, not going to happen. The sheer popularity of high school as a setting for anime and anime-style games has been immense in Japan these past decades. You simply are not the primary demographic, and it will never begone from your sight. 100

Meat Scanner @devilishgust.bsky.social · 16/11/2024As much as I first dreaded the first half of Fire Emblem: Three Houses for its initial tedium of schoolyard fetch quests, I'm over 800 hours deep now because of the incredible depth & flexibility of the curricular aspect and incentive to carry all of that progress through consecutive playthroughs. 110

SirCrossPad @sircrosspad.bsky.social · 15/11/2024I enjoy Persona 5 and Fire Emblem Three Houses, but I 100% agree with this take. They do it because it appeals to the high school nostalgia a lot of overstressed JP players have, but it’s way overused. 120
