>Comfiest characters There were barely any interesting characters in the entire game other than Cynthia and the Galactic Leader (I can't remember his name). Every other character was exactly the same the entire game and bored you to death.
>Comfiest OSTFor the routes? Yes. Definitely.
For the cities? Maybe. Tied with Johto.
For the battles, the part where you'll spend most of the game? No.
Comfy route music is fine (the snow route gives me orgasms), but they tried to do the same thing with the battle music, the absolute worst place to try and do calm piano music. The gym, rival, trainer, wild, champion, and villain team themes are all bested by another gen.
I know that music is completely subjective, but I think that we can all agree that comfy, calm, piano music does not belong in battles.
The biggest problem of Gen 4 was the horrid gameplay. It added the physical/special split, but that was pretty much all it added gameplay wise. The engine is so unredeemably bad that I can't even begin to talk about it (the fact that Gen 4 romhacks can run on Gen 3's engine is enough proof). I'd talk about the #1 reason that the gameplay was so bad, but it's so obvious that
slow most of you
slow already know what it is.
But yeah. It was ok, but it wasn't the best. I'd say around high-mid tier.
