Hello everybody. I hope you are all enjoying your week. This week I continued playing through Pokemon Omega Ruby. I defeated the elite four and finished the post game episode. I accidentally critically hit Deoxys and wasn't able to catch it, but I read online that I can try again after beating the Elite 4 rematch. I also played a little Rome Total War on the side. I hope you all have a good week!

Finishing up Metaphor Re:Fantazio this week. I’m in the last few days of the game and have loved most of what I’ve seen. This will likely be top of my Persona series games I’ve played, just edging out P4. It might be in my top games of all time with how much I’ve enjoyed it. My only real issues with it are

Metaphor Re:Fantazio spoilers

the fact that everything seems to be fellating “enlightened centrism.” My biggest issue being with Catherina’s story where she’s out to combat racism and ultimately does nothing because "violence bad." Also, “stealing bad” which was just wealth re-appropriation. The other is the introduction of Eupha. Nothing about that felt good since it was essentially just white settlers telling others how to live their lives and forcing their moral compass on others. The game also seems to try to put all the extremes of modern political landscapes into this. You can tell it’s very much written by a centrist point of view.

Beyond that, gameplay’s great, other parts of the story are fantastic, and I look forward to another fantasy Persona game in the future. I much prefer this over contemporary story offerings. This might actually get a second playthrough given time, which says something of a triple-digit hour game.

It really is. Now, don't get me wrong, the way they told the story was very good and interesting, but there are quite a few directions they could've taken that would've made it better.
