i may just be jaded after too many jackasses in ffxiv tbh
"I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS GAME SUCKS"
well what plot point is confusing
"IDK LOL I SKIPPED ALL THE CUTSCENES"
ok did you read the quest text or
"NO I SKIPPED IT COS IT WAS BORING LOL"
so you skipped all the story in a final fantasy game that promises a lush and intricate story, is praised for its story, and people play for the story, and now you're upset you don't know what's going on
"YEAH, THIS GAME SUCKS"
of course a video game is going to be different than a book or a movie, on account of it being a video game. good and compelling and genuinely interesting stories can be told in this interactive way taking advantage of this interactivity, the same way good comic books take advantage of being sequential art instead of a print-out of a script.
if a work is good because it's in a certain medium, you can't just substitute it with an entirely different medium and say it's better now
at some point it's just somebody saying "anyone who has cried because of a piece of music needs to read a fucken book, like music has any good writing in it, gawd"
a book and a piece of music are two fundamentally different things by definition...?

@wigglytuffitout i'm sort of morbidly curious what prompted all this but at the same time not sure I want to go down that rabbit hole
