Minority Mindset

Delving into conversations about video games, one can’t help but notice how easily they can escalate into discussions about game genres. A user named WizardWell, for instance, boldly asserts, “I’m ready to debate anyone who claims Zelda isn’t an RPG.” Is it? Isn’t it? Such debates can become as chaotic as a Mario Kart race on a banana-sliped track. A comment about “French Final Fantasy X” started this argument, sending players diving deep into the rabbit hole of categorization. The elements that make a game an RPG – combat system, character development, or storyline? Opinions vary as much as the characters in Final Fantasy, leading to amusing exchanges and heartfelt defenses like ZackFair0711’s “You’re talking about French Legend of Dragoon, aren’t you?” Sometimes, the confusion can be enjoyable, leading to a more thorough examination of our beloved games and even moments of insight. “Arguing over video game genres… is not worth the effort,” wrote theblackfool, capturing the sentiment of some gamers. However, even amidst the debates, there’s an underlying agreement that gaming is about experiences, not just labels we attach to them.

In the world of role-playing games (RPGs), the experience often becomes more captivating due to the emphasis on exploration, especially in games like Final Fantasy XV. Many players enjoy the open-world setting that encourages aimless wandering and fosters relationships among the main characters such as Noctis, Gladiolus, Ignis, and Prompto. A user named TelenorTheGNP succinctly expresses this appreciation by saying, “The bond between the boys is entertaining, the game is visually stunning, and I even enjoyed simply driving around.” This statement beautifully conveys the delight derived from the game’s journeys and additional missions, creating an aura of adventure at every bend.

There’s a special feeling when you witness a community welcoming a novice so warmly. In an instant, many users were quick to motivate NoBreak10 to take advantage of the opportunity. PontusFrykter enthusiastically declared, “Dude, those two legendary games at this price are nothing! Just go for it and get ready for one of the best gaming experiences you’ll ever have.” The confidence and certainty in their words were clear, and they truly embodied the camaraderie among experienced players. Similar sentiments were shared by others like BeastXredefined who highlighted that “Buying both games for less than $60 is an amazing deal. Take the plunge!” This level of excitement is a characteristic trait of the Final Fantasy community—a blend of passion for the games and eagerness to see newcomers fully immerse themselves in the world of Final Fantasy.
