>>31598362>>31598675>The story revolves around Lillie and her progression, meanwhile the Player is there to support her and have an "Adventure".This is probably my biggest problem with SM. GF decided to remove any sense of adventure and exploration with this title for the sake of shoving plot down the player's throat. What's even worse is the fact that they decided to make the most bland, generic waifubait character the focus of the story when there were other characters that were MUCH more interesting than Lillie.
>b-but JRPGs all focus on story!!!Not all of them do. Some of them allow for players to explore themselves for details pertaining to the plot, characters, and world, rather than constantly handing you everything through cutscenes, which GF doesn't seem to realize are not the only way to tell a story. And even if most of them do focus on story, taking the player out of gameplay to constantly shove plot at the player is not a characteristic of good game design, it's just the developer taking the easy way out because they can't come up with a better way of getting story across.
