>best weapon in the game is obtained via mandatory story progression about 3/4s of the way through
>you can farm for hours and craft a so-called "ultimate weapon" at the end of the game but it's objectively inferior
>any weapons you get from later bosses or secret challenges are functionally limited if not completely useless

>>386331412
is this..... no it cant be...

>>386331626
It is.

>the story resolves around finding a powerful ancient weapon that has been through countless wars and its wielder has slain countless enemies
>its also guarded by a powerful being
>defeat the powerful being and finally get the weapon
>some time later you obtain a random weapon with no lore at all from a random chest that isn't even guarded
>its much better than the weapon that the story is about

>>386331412
>and it's completely useless since you've already beaten the strongest guy around

>once you beat the final boss the game ends and reloads from your last save, with nothing you did afterwards saved

>>386332559
even worse

>you can't save after entering the "last area" or after the final boss meaning your final save is just before you enter the last area, feeling incomplete

fucking kingdom hearts

>Ultimate boss of the game is designed to be killed in 2-4 turns
>You just a medal with his name

>best weapon in the entire game is halfway through the final dungeon after you've done everything and all that's left is to go fight the final boss

>To be able to make the best weapons for each class you have to go through a turbo dungeon that's 100 floors long and then navigate an incredibly annoying crafting system where you have to craft the components then craft the parts then craft the item and you can only craft one thing at a time
Fuck you Tactics Ogre LUCT

>game has unique weapons with cool unique effects
>their stats are complete garbage compared to crafted equipment that has no level restri tions and schematics to which can be found fairly easily

What can 2-4 turn Omega besides breaking his ass in half with Dual Wield Rapid Fire Spellblade? Even that's not easy to set up since he can just disappear your party members at random.

>best weapon in the game is the default starting weapon
