from the start you fail to engage in the premise, you aren't suspending your disbelief, as is a part of all fantasy, so the complaints about "things happening too fast" comes from that, the entire start is all about setting up the game going forward, thats why its happening fast, thats why you suspend your disbelief, you need to take the events as they are, as they are setting the world up for you.
the whole cliff/evade monsters is, functionally, yes luck, the character is not a fighter, which leads into the next part:
protag is not sent there to assassinate, they are sent there to deliver a message, but things had changed(your not-persona awakening) before the message had been delivered, so you now have more involvement
and yes, people following the person who shows leadership skills is normal, the protag is ultimately an adult, a young adult, but still one in the end, who is actually the one who is doing something about the situation.
as for your opinion on the Mc: thats just an opinion, your entitled to it.
there is more i could say to actually explain a few things, but considering i don't want to spoil it for people who actually own the game, ill avoid that unless someone else spoils it.
Generally it's rare to feel anything for characters during a prologue due to the fact you've only known them five minutes. I'm not sure if you can really get around that.
It's fantasy. Do you reckon Yoda would have any issues taking on a small fall down a cliff and a desert? Guy looks like a geriatric frog, yet he's supposedly the grandmaster of the Jedi order. Kind of the point in having non-human races; they're actually different to humans.
Literally after the game tells you the situation is so bad they're at the point of accepting anything with a pulse. For bonus points, you may even recall the fact the army is accepting anyone who volunteers is directly responsible for you going over a cliff and having to cross a desert to begin with.
If you were actually paying attention you would in fact have learned said kid has been sent to the capital to deliver a message to Grius. The guy who's head of the clandestine organisation in the capital and presumably far more adequately equipped to deal with the all powerful genius villain. If you'd noted that you might have some inkling of why they thought the best people for this task would be a small fairy and a nondescript Elda kid rather than some conspicuous beefcake with more brawn than brains.
Yeah, it's amazing what breaking the known laws of physics in the course of single handedly kicking the arse of a giant monster that's just laid waste to an entire fort will do for your reputation.
Now that was a hoot to read, the outfit design might not be fitting for someone who spends time around a lot of moving parts/machinery but it oozes drip and aesthetics. I am throwing your opinion in the trash now.
The premise fails to be engaging. Just because it's all a fantasy, it doesn't excuse written nonsense and plot holes.
And I don't see how the things you say are related to "too many things happen, too fast". The story is a mess, unengaging and hard to follow or believe.
Another example. The king was sick and easily killed from villain, but then somehow, out of nowhere he still had massive amounts of power and being able to use them while dead to lift up from the ground an entire castle, keep it up there for god knows how long(surely weeks if not more), among other things it did and monitored.
The MC is unlikable and unpleasant to watch and play from every angle.
MC was sent there to deliver a message but not only that. His mission involved dealing with the villain and finding a way to cure the prince. The MC is a far cry from being able/qualified to do any of these things. Even for traveling to this area and delivering the message, he is a poor choice.
The MC might be an adult but he surely doesn't look it. He looks like a 12-15(at most) year old. And if I recall correctly even Brigitta among others point out how young he is and how unqualified he seems to be.
In fact a couple of characters bring up that they are giving him a chance to prove himself worthy because of his relation to Alces.
"and yes, people following the person who shows leadership skills is normal"
He has none of that, what dfo you mean? He is unqualified from every single aspect. The only good thing about him is the "I am the mc/hero of the story" plot armor with the awakening. If you look at his "social" stats(which include bravery, smarts ect), they are all 0. You have literally 0 skills. You have to develop them slowly with certain activities.
Back to pacing. The game has serious story pacing issues. While it went too much too fast with things happening, it somewhat felt like forever until you managed to get past the "tutorial"/prologue phase and unlock all the features/access.
Simple concept, no?
You mean if you watched same pathelic lame little scrawny emo kiddo with 0s in all his social stats(bravery, smarts etc) who's daydreaming and motivated from some naive unrealistic utopia in a book, receive blatant MC plot armor.
I didn't buy it. Might want to pay attention to what I write?
Also I get the idea from you and some others here that you don't want to read my opinion.
Then why are you reading and responding? I am clearly writing on the title and in my post "for those that care" about my post/opinion.
We agree, although probably for different reasons :)
this is actually universal across all stories. while there is an art to making a strong first impression, every single story ever starts with things happening to characters that you don't care about. as an example, why should i care that joker got framed and expelled from his last school? i don't know him.
the only reason you care about joker being framed and you don't care that the king gets murdered and throws the whole country into chaos is just because of your personal biases and tastes, not because of an inherent writing mistake.
expand on how this becomes cliche/tropey/shallow instead of just saying it and moving on. i could very easily say the same about every single jrpg that's ever existed.
before this happens, you are attacked by magic and see a lady basically flash stepping. it is not at all a stretch to believe that the MC is part of some species that has high durability. as for navigating the desert wilderness, he has a fairy with him that can scan the map. again, not a stretch. none of this is as hard to disbelieve as half the ♥♥♥♥ that happens in any of the persona prologues.
they specifically say "we could always use more orphans". that alone should give you enough context clues as to why they're accepting him without much of an issue.
he's not. there was a flashback detailing exactly what their mission is, and gallica constantly yaps about what the mission is. pay attention.
the experienced member of the party gives him advice, but leaves it up to him. it is basically identical to P3-5, where there's a more knowledgeable member on the team from the start of the story but leaves it to the MC for one reason or another. by your logic, morgana should have lead the party from the start because he's the most knowledgeable member of the party by far.
k. sorry to hear that's how you feel.
the back two points are subjectives, but you can't know if more is better or worse than igor if you only ever watched the demo. the only thing you can say is "igor leaves a better first impression".
again, you can't possible know if followers are better or worse than persona's social links.
sorry to hear that's how you feel.
