>>34488665Retard, my point was that you don't play the games to get an impression of the characters because it's almost all decided by fanworks. You don't need to play the mainline games to care about the story, write your own fanfics, draw fanart, discuss the characters, participate in the fandom AT ALL. That's why gatekeeping the series is fucking retarded.
Before you try to take away my 2hu cred, the only games I haven't touched are 1-3, 9, 14-16 and 18.
