Long read! You must have woken up on the wrong side of your bed this morning.


 Some interesting thoughts that I personally don't agree with at all but could read through and see. However, they're all sadly invalidated by your child-like outburst at the end personally attacking and trying to put down someone's opinion. 

If you're going to write a counterpoint, write a counterpoint, don't step on someone like that because you're too incapable of regular human interaction. 

I wish I had a clever thing to say tot mimic your "the only one dead inside is you" but sadly, there's nothing worth taking away from your post after ending it on such an idiotic note. You turned yourself into a troll, at best. I'd love to see a counter argument where you actually spent effort into making it, not spewing irrelevant hate everywhere.

P.S If you  were aware of such thing like “subtext” (a very innovative and shocking concept, I know), you would figure out easily what I meant when i said “the game present itself like furry hogwarts,” as its premise and mentioning of “institute of magic” give you all the information to piece together without making a direct references. Of course you wouldn’t find direct mentions of “furry” and “Hogwarts” because no sane person wears their inspirations on their sleeve like that, and if you *do* expect every work fiction to spit out everything on a silver platter like that for you to understand— then you should probably start working on improving your own IQ.

@Naho, dearest internet entity:

If you're going to shrug off somebody else's comment by calling it trollish or offensive, try not to do the same thing. By using the very same rules, you're invalidating your own argument. And if you think that "It doesn't deserve a reply," well, it did enough for you to write a Bible epistle-length reply to "not be deserving.".

Let's start by telling me you seriously need to touch grass and/or consume more fiction. Not every game is FF7, and so not every Midgard is FF7.

Maybe you didn't know how to properly express yourself, which might be the case. It happens to everyone, especially when English isn't your first language, like in my case. Did you mean a "Dystopian sci-fi Midgard like the one presented in FF7"? Because that would have been a better way to word it. Oh, and let me just tell you that this isn't Marvel's Midgard either. It may (and just maybe, a tiny tad bit) be the dev's very own Midgard, populated with their very own creations!


Also, not every magic academy is Hogwarts; there's the White Tower in The Wheel of Time, the University in the King Killer Chronicles, the Witch Academy in The Witcher, the Fulcrum in NK Jesmin Works, the Unseen University in Terry Pratchett's Discworld, and not to mention the endless Magician Guilds, Schools, and Orders, which are also academies in many works of fiction!

Not every single magic academy is Hogwarts, not even in Rowling's work; get over it already.

Concerning not reading the subtle undertones and subtext, you stated that this game bears no resemblance to Hogwarts, so how could it be an undertone? It seems more like it's your own preconceived idea of it. For someone who praises the diversity presented in genders and body types, this is both hypocritical and unexpected.

There are many works of fiction—games, books, movies, you name it. Use "Harry Potter" and other works for comparison purposes. Just walk into any Barnes and Noble or open any review pages, and you'll see even the authors and developers themselves name it and boast about it! Ghibli-inspired, Souls-like, and Hogwarts-like are some of the many things they're usually compared to so as to make people familiar with and interested in their works.

To me, it seems like you're talking from your very own limited world of view, and that is quite intolerant and, at the same time, ignorant. I urge you to please expand your horizons and open your mind. In the end, it's your choice to do so or not.

Thank you for reading this quite lengthy reply, and I honestly hope you have a good day and improve both your replies to others to not be self-defeating and hypocritical and your general outlook on fiction and not classifying other people's works in whatever your limited knowledge allows.

For clarification purposes, I meant that in a non-deprecating way, as everyone's knowledge is limited, and that is precisely why I urge you and everyone else to expand it so nobody end's up pre-judging, wrongly understanding, or classifying stuff.

Have a good one!
