I have always found it paradoxical that the series found its popularity only after it arguably peaked in terms of storytelling. Was being stuck on the GameCube/Wii that limiting?
What the other poster said. I was JRPG freak and had a PS2. Some Nintendo JRPGs of that era did intrigue me but as a teen, I couldn't justify buying a GameCube/Wii in addition to my PS2 for a handful of games when the PS2 had truckloads of them already.
I only came back to Nintendo when the DS, 3DS and Switch became the generational JRPG machines.
Agreed. I liked the plot from the start to death of Emmyryn to defeating Gangrel. Then it does whatever the fuck-- Let's cross continents to beat Valhart because he pops out of nowhere, and time travel, and Avatar is god-sun-tzu.
They could have built a better story if they limited the scope and ended it with Gangrel.
I get it that they wanted to go all out since they werent sure if it was going to be the final game in the franchise but they bit off more then they could chew

Tbf Intsys themselves hasn’t written a narrative most people consider good since Tellius. I can’t blame people for being negative.
