I hate stealing mechanics in traditional JRPGs (hexbear.net)

Love having all my party members twiddling their thumbs defending and healing while one guy fails his steal rolls 10 times in a row

I extra love it if the steal move deals damage so you have to also worry about the target dying from too many failed attempts

I double extra love it when it's a boss battle when on top of everything else the story momentum just grinds to a halt while you fuck with a stupid RNG for 5 minutes

The chemistry between the guys is what FFXV is all about and it's why I don't mind that everything else is pretty shit.

Absolutely. What made the game so bad was how much I enjoyed it in that first arc. Great mix of action, comedy, and drama. Good voice acting. The premise was so fun. I half expected a song-and-dance number from the four of them at some point.

Ah well. We'll always have FFX-2, at least.

That would rock so hard! FFXV reminds me a lot of Yakuza like a dragon but it's missing the crucial karaoke sessions and that's a huge oversight.
