Ok, now I got the right mamga, “Rent a Girlfriend”

First chapter, I already feel embarassed by the lame MC. But the story sounds interesting.

It also made me feel like Love Hina by the end of the first chapter.

Im definitively done with middle school stories.

But high school / university still feel interesting to me. Not those innocent idealizated person, but people who still didnt see the worst, but enough to lose the naivety.

I also watched a video reviewing the expedition 33 story.

Honestly, just the summary didnt get my attention.

I get when storytellers want to create an allegory to discuss mundane things, but I felt in expedition 33 lore the same thing I felt in FFXIII: the feeling that the writers tried too hard to create an entire universe to fit the story.

All the FFXIII mythology feels so convoluted. The story per se is told like a bistory lesson, but why would someone take a fictional world story lesson tp lesrn the story?

The summary of expedition 33 felt like this: someone tried too hard to tell stories that didnt rewuire that

The funniest thing to me was when they were cursing this game and wishing it death
Who would bother cursing? I mean pack up, move on, save your breath.

I liked my XI days, I have great nostalgia for it. I have yet to see a better combat system. Or a worse crafting system for that mater.

I mean just look around this forum.You see, people posting who don't even play The Game?And they post just to hate on it. I see them across all Xi media on YouTube. They leave the comments on the forums, videos, etc.

You could do a whole case study on it.How people who've quit still stick around the same places just to hate on the game and try to dissuade others from playing or enjoying the game.

I'm not saying that you're doing that.But he was talking in general so that seems to be my experiences.

The reason why FFXI population is diminishing over time is not a matter of blaming or anyones fault.

The core playerbase got older. Adult people dont have enough time to play as the game was designed to play (very time consuming).

Newer playerbase is from another generation. FFXI WAS NOT made for the newer playerbase, and neither side is in the wrong: newer playerbase want a game to require less investment what FFXI dont allow: you will hardly do any progress before sinking 100+ hours on it, what is absurd if you look at raw numbers: Ive been spending around 100h to complete each Xenoblade games, that are not short by any means. And with same investment, probably you will still be very undergeared and poot in FFXI, and barely grasping the foundations.

Thats a very sharp learning curve.
yeah this is a good point too. I had a lot more time from 2000 onward being 14 years old and barely get to do much gaming these days.

The game had to speed up Chanti, or else it would fall behind with our fast lives as both tech and responsibilities and obligations skyrocketed as time went on etc. Talking as an individual in the core targeted demographic etc
