ITT: Devoloper practises that make no fucking sense

>cooking system with lots of unique recipes that require you to use specific combinations of ingredients
>but it's purely cosmetic
>all ingredients have a fixed cooked value and the dish is always just those values added together

>>379279373
>>All characters in your party can be all classes
>>but stat growth is different with each character
>>Therefore, each character will only be useful with certain jobs, regardless of how much you train them

What games do this?

>>379279573
BotW?
I actually liked that. Found it very useful to just cook some things here and there without having to remember all the recipees. But I agree they could've added some dishes that were unique to specific combinations with new effects

>>379279803
Bravely Default games

>>379279892
the only recipe you need to remember for the entire game is 1 durian

>game has fun
>fun lasts for a good while
>devs put fun behind grind
wtf devs

Dragon Quest 6.

>>379279892
Wtf, no character is not useful in any class in Bravely Default. Sure there are stat differences but they don't matter at all.

>that doesn't matter at all
Try to beat the game in ahrd with Edea as ninja. even best geared, max lvl on both job and character she won't make more than 2k damage on attacks, while Ringabel as dark knight or even Tiz as swordmaster will deal that amount much sooner and without late-game gear.

FF12

>>379279803
I love how FFV did it but it barely mattered at all
The two guys have better physical stats than the two girls but the difference is so puny you can still do whatever the fuck you want with them
Galuf best blue mage

It's literally 1 point. It doesn't even scale.

>>379284767
It's even more insignificant than I remembered then
I wonder why they even bothered

>RPG has rock-paper-scissors style weakness system
>Every major boss is not part of the system
What is the fucking point then

>>379279803
Fire Emblem Awakening/Fates

Also, some characters are either redundant or completely useless shit.

>>379284996
So that the characters aren't clones, but you still get to do whatever.

>ailments and stayers are basically a death sentence when they hit you
>completely fucking worthless when you use them against the enemy

In my experience most games that do this have an awesome ability or something in a class that you may not necessarily want to spend a lot of time in but is useful to spend *some* time in
