Yeah, I've been seeing chatter about FF15-Sausage Party for a while, so I kind of knew it was coming out, but yeah, Tabata's interview killed any interest I had in it. I haven't been able to play a Final Fantasy game since FFX-2. We tried FF12, but the pseudo-rape-killing-scene made us (metaphorically) throw the controller across the room. We tried FF13, but five minutes in, running into Comic Relief Black Man With A Bird Living In His Afro put another metaphorical dent in the wall, no matter what people told us about the nearly-text lesbians in it.

I'm really really frustrated with JRPGs right now. I was looking forward to Persona 5, and then I read about the Ugly Gay Stereotypes that appear in it and I was like, no, I'm hanging onto liking the series and not trying P5, because it might ruin P4, with its canonical genderqueer character and lovable nearly-text gay boy (despite the horrible option to "turn" the genderqueer character "back" to female that's available) for me. We tried the Tales games, LOVED Vesperia, but Xillia is... not awful, but dull as dishwater. I have another Tales, can't remember which, to try, but haven't mustered the go-juice to do it.

I have, however, started the Mass Effect series, which is pretty fun.

I mourn the Suikoden series, because it was usually fun and occasionally (Suikoden 5) brilliant.
