I like Baldur's Gate II and Planescape: Torment. Is Torment:

That's damning.

Somehow the number of tropes is directly proportional to the quality of the story. Really borne out when you look at obvious storyline turds like FF1-3

Those are so old that they don't even really count.

Why? Generally the image is just showing the tropes that the 90s and early 00s FFs tended to focus on, while ignoring the late 80s tropes which were more influenced by traditional RPGs before Square devised their own tropes to follow. And now FF has generally moved on from many of those 90s-early 00s tropes, but perhaps one could find tropes that FF12-15 adhere to that earlier FFs do not.

It's worth playing, but not worth buying all full price

Also, the game is incredibly biased in favor of Intelligence builds, but then again, almost everyone rolled a WIS build in Torment

It's like comparing Snow White to the modern Disney movies, it's just too old.

I thought it would be the crowning jewel of the cRPG renaissance, but it's merely among the better ones. I think it's gotten a bad reputation due to being a disappointment, but there's plenty of good stuff in it, too.

Since it's a Torment game, its main focus is writing. I know a lot of people didn't like how verbose the game was, but I had no issues with reading a lot. The branching dialogue is some of the best ever in video games, but the overarching narrative feels like it's a victim of rewrites and honestly, just falls flat in the end.

The first half of T:ToN is great, exploring the city and talking to people is my favourite part of any new cRPG, but the combat (that there is little of) is shit and the second half doesn't hold up.

Buy, just not at full price.

Disney has moved on in its tropes and so has Square(EniX).

Still love dem princesses though

No don't waste your money.
