I remember when retards used to blame the Enix side for ruining them, even though Dragon Quest is one of the last bastions of the old school style JRPGs while the Square side keeps fucking up Final Fantasy and investing in shitty western games
Dragon quest was a product of it's time. It should have stayed there.
Holy shit who actually still plays turn based JRPGS where your party stands in a line and there is no tactical depth or engaging gameplay whatsoever. The people that still play those are mostly soy goblins playing shitty waifu gatcha games, which are only that way because it's low effort and low skill required to make and play.
Now I'm not saying enix made square retarded, they're perfectly capable of shooting themselves in the foot on their own. I'm just saying holding up mainline dragon quest as good is ridiculous. And final fantasy tries to evolve past that original style, which only existed because of technological limitations.
Hell that DS game with the giant tanks where you played as a slime was better than every single mainline DQ game. The spinoffs that actually try to do something better are way better than mainline DQ.
Have you considered you are experiencing a major dunning-Kruger moment as regards turn based strategy and its countless millions of fans? Not every turn based game is balanced like Pokemon or Paper Mario.
Turn based strategy is not "three niggas in a line". That genre is like fire emblem or other S-JRPGs. Hell, pokemon actually has more depth than DQ, if you look into the absolute shenanigans the competitive crowd gets up to. I'm not into those but it's at least better than dragon quest. And paper mario thousand year door was better than DQ as well.

I mostly agree with everything you say here. I think I missed that you were trying not to umbrella all these things.
