It's an interesting divergence compared to the sorts of enemies you fight in most Western RPGs. Imagine running into any of these guys or the evil house from FF7 in an Elder Scrolls

    i am even less interested in the problematic age gap relationship with the trenchcoat beanie guy and pink hair protagonists little sister in ff13

    lmao, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought that was weird. I'm sure they're supposed to be the same age if you look up their character profiles but it just looked like a 25-year-old dudebro dating engaged to be married to a middle schooler. So much of that game's emotional thrust is placed on that relationship and it just made most of the drama land with a wet thud.

    Amusingly, both of that game's sequels focus entirely on the bond between Lightning and Serah and ditch Snow almost completely. You play as Serah in FFXIII-2 and the guy barely makes an appearance
