>the 3rd act ruins everything
this is 96% of any rpg ever created by men.
a more interesting topic would be rpgs enhanced by the third act, like dragon's dogma.

E33 didn't make everything not real. Even renoir admits the painted people are real, he just doesn't care.

E33 but it ends with maelle getting kicked out of the canvas and running off with the painting. 3rd act is verso convincing her to leave. I dunno

A true hero saves everyone.

Just because something isn't real doesn't mean it can't matter. You can acscribe the insubstantial more value than reality if you want.

the hate on the third act dq11 is forced. the first two play like a tutorial where most bossfights pair you with an immortal npc. you spend most of the time recruitng the party and by the time you finish they are so low level there is nothing interesting to do with them combat wise.

I enjoyed the third act of DQXI, but hated how it erased very important character development moments. Serena's specially, in this new timeline you create she never gets her moment to improve and become more confident, walking out of Veronica's shadow.

People have a really weird understanding of how a narrative works, the narrative is a straight line, everything leads into the next thing, everything that happened in that timeline was important, and it further more contributes to reaching the point where they can go back in time to save veronica and like half of the world populationbut people act like instead of getting to see a different alternative that that in absolutely NO way takes away or devalues their experience of act 2, the existence of the third act literally sent them back in time and took away their experience of Act 2 as the player
it's like getting mad at the ending of steins gate or ocarina of time, or really like 90% of time travel media, really makes no sense
i can only imagine these same people reaching the end of ocarina of time and screaming while bashing their tv about how terrible an ending it is becauseonly valid complaint about act 3 is the inconsistencies like Michelle, i heard it was because you were supposed to go back to when the village was seemingly burned down but that was way too far back and they didn't have enough time, not to excuse it
But giving us abridged versions of the act 2 character development that the player has already seen and has the same result anyway, in exchange for an alternative route and a finished plot is not one of those valid complaints.

Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.
Another We're all actuallysimulations, but virtual people are people too! Like we haven't seen that one done to death before.It's sad, because the previous Star Ocean had a reasonably well thought out third act.
