I know what you're about to say; "Oh, boy, here comes this new guy trying to start drama with bad faith arguments."
Children forced to participate in a war, the eldest is twelve while the youngest is four. Soul-devouring weaponry being powered by said child soldiers. Nazi-like army targeting a specific species. Bigotry and genocide. Forcing a ****ing nine-year-old to commit suicide later down the road if you, granted, don’t play your cards right. Twelve-year-old goes on a killing spree judging from a hidden cutscene if I understand correctly. Angst, angst, angst.
It...it's mean and pointless. Jin would definitely be my favorite character if he wasn't written as the stereotype of the bigot trying to let go of his hate. Hello, Clint Eastwood!
Listen, there was a time where I was indeed just as gratuitous way back in high school as whoever wrote Fuga...but I’ve grown out of it. I no longer have to pander to the lowest common denominator with how "dark," "edgy," or "angsty" one can possibly be. That's the problem with much of today's media, I feel; it's all shock for the sake of either shock or making a cheap buck. I'm sorry, but Fuga may as well be Oscar-bait for furries. It's another maggot on the corpse that is "the sign o' the times" wherein demand for darker, edgier, grittier material has skyrocketed and hence dominated entertainment.
And before anyone asks, no, turn-based RPGs are not my cup of tea.
I...don't appreciate this game.
