In the end, you’ll own nothing ~~and you’ll be happy~~ until you pirate it years later after it's been taken away from you
this sounds awesome. I don't know if it's on your radar but there's a game coming out called Newcomer that looks like a half decent language learning video game.
A game where you're in the Star Wars Universe and it's open world and you can walk around and interact with people and if the people on that planet aren't doing it then you can get in your Millennium Falcon or any other SW starship and cruise on over to the next planet.
Basically, No Man's Sky on steroids with a Star Wars skin.
I'm surprised to see FFXIV in the OP because I've had the opposite experience. But to stay on point, Pokémon has one of the most toxic communities I know of. It's nearly impossible to say anything semi positive about a game without getting a barrage of hate
My first time playing Pokémon Blue I did the opposite because I didn't realize you could change the order of the pokemon so my Bulbasaur was in my #1 spot and even if I knew the other trainer was going to use a fire pokemon i'd end up starting the battle and wasting a turn switching pokemon. Needless to say he was super overpowered by the end of the game from all the forced XP
