>>26453343>What basis do you have for this?>Anything more dangerous? Anything more adventurous?Uhh, yes. One is a grass pathway, and the other is a FUCKING MOUNTAIN.
No, in terms of gameplay, its not MUCH harder. It's slower, more sluggish, it feels more tedious.
But that's the point. The atmosphere, the context, is that you're traveling though a fucking mountain, and then a blizzard.
The point is that you have to endure it, so that you can feel the sense of relief and accomplishment for getting through such a long and tedious stretch.
THAT'S the appeal. You can say that you didn't like the gameplay or whatever, but the route clearly has an appeal for its atmosphere and adventure, and sense of relief for overcoming it, and THAT'S why it was being praised. Not because people thought the gameplay was fun. OBVIOUSLY walking though a blizzard at .5 speed, and each battle being in hail, is not fun. That's the point. You have to overcome it, and no other location has really pushed you in that way before.
