p5, automata and ffx huge disagree. xenoblade 2 agree
I may not agree with many of these, but I will always show respect to a fellow Seymour hater.
hard agree on p5 and super paper mario, it's a good thing i haven't played the other ones then
it's always puzzled me how P5 has such a strong start but then the rest of the game is the most milquetoast approach to the themes it presented in the first place and like you mentioned directly goes against these themes at points.
apparently the game had like 15 writers or more as opposed to p3/4 that only had like 2-4 writers which is why the writing feels all over the place and we can also assume they weren't letting hashino do what he wanted to do for the game considering how strong it starts and how it falls off as the game goes on (which is why im excited for Metaphor ReFantazio), but i think the issue goes deeper than that and it was really just an over bloated mess with no direction. still a really fun game imo though.
i hear royal is a major improvement but i cant vouch for that personally.

@Huss - Solid analysis. Though I feel in the attempt to make a 100+ hour game any attempt at coherent writing is going to start falling apart at some point. From what I understand, P5R doesn't seem to actually fix any of the moralizing hypocrisies the original makes, but I also haven't (and will not) play P5R. Good day to you.
