Trying to be nonchalant about opinions "actually not even mattering" doesn't really work out when your first interaction in a thread is to immediately dismiss any opposing opinions as something you should ignore.
Great attitude there, but indeed, do what you wanna do.
It wasn't "any opposing" opinions, it was yours. You were the second post in the thread. People tend to read the first few posts and then immediately jump to the most recent. Your initial post was a one sentence line with barely any substance as to why people should avoid the game. Sure, you eventually made a second post detailing some of your points but had to effectively make a
third post by editing because again, you didn't actually give a decent reasoning for why someone should avoid it.
The game has a great art style and really takes advantage of the water color aesthetic that it has going on. The two main characters of the game are extremely well written and some of the strongest characters to come out in a good long while. The portrayal of their relationship is genuine. The Game Bakers didn't have to go a shallow BioWare route to build that relationship as the entire game is centered around them so it flows in a believable, natural way.
The game can get repetitive, I won't deny that, but I'd be hard pressed to find any game that
doesn't get repetitive at a certain point. The gameplay, however, perfectly ties into the relationship of the characters and how they interact with the world. When you're gliding through the world and they naturally hold hands? That's a great understanding of making the gameplay match the narrative. Combat, while a little lacking, is the same. The two characters build off each other. I'm sorry, but this is a game that perfectly fuses the narrative of the characters with the gameplay that few games can do.
People on this forum will spend 60 hours reading visual novels with no "gameplay" whatsoever so again, I would say that they would be doing themselves a disservice by not playing a game far shorter than that at 15-20 hours with decent gameplay and a great story.
All that being said, you are right. I shouldn't have led with telling people to ignore you post and should have just posted instead a counter, like here, as to why I believe they should give it a try. So I apologize for that, though I do stand by my opinions.
