Things I Dislike About Games I Don't

This list is a companion piece to Things I Like About Games I Don't

A lot of people have been making lists about things they dislike in games they love, so here's my personal take on it.

Unlike my other list, the entries here comprise my actual ten favorite videogames. Because of that, I had to get really nitpicky about things here in a way I otherwise wouldn't.

The Magypsies feel a bit misguided and clumsy in their portrayal at times.
The music cuts abruptly when talking to other characters.
Not so much a "flaw" of the game per se, but I feel like it really could have benefited a lot from having a limited saving system.
Poo temporarily leaving the party almost immediately after joining it is admittedly really funny but also kind of needless.
The online functionality is gone :(

But in all honesty, I think Stonefang is a little lesser than the rest of the game for me.
Something about the way Emma Emmerich is handled just kind of does not sit right with me.
Basaran and Celosia are the weakest of what is an otherwise stellar roster of bosses.
I haven't played the original version of this game (yet) but from what I've seen of it, I feel like I can pretty safely say I like the way its environments look more.
The only game on this list that's going to get a cop out "Yeah I don't have anything" from me. There is genuinely not a single thing about this beautiful thing I would change.

I think fighting off the shadows can be a little frustrating at times, but I honestly don't know if I could confidently consider it a flaw.
