If they were just going to make their own games and emphasize arcade-style vertical shooters just to carve out their own niche or something I could kind of understand the portrait layout, although even that seems mildly insane.
But they actually knew they were going to want tot port a bunch of shit that was all designed for 4:3 displays and went with the portrait layout anyway, which is just madness. I cannot think of a single valid reason to do that. Where is the upside? How did no one involved stop and say, "hey, why do we want the screen turned the wrong way?"

I'm not even trying to do like a full blown 100% run. Like, the fucking zodiac spear is staying right where it is because I am not running up and down that damned stairway 500 times until it spawns. That OP invisible bow that can only be realistically obtained if you use multiple save files to manipulate the RNG because its normal drop rate is unironically 1 in 10,000? Yeah, fuck that. Even my autism has its limits. But fuck, man. I wanted at least *some* of the endgame items and even if you're not shooting for the moon and making the Tournesol or the Wyrmhero blade or something the crafting or bazaar requrements are kind of fucked.
Like, the Ultima Blade is maybe the 4th or 5th best greatsword. It's not insanely overpowered, it's not used in any crazy builds, it's just a decent late-game option until the A+ swords become available. And if you want to make it you need 2 adamantite, which requires a monograph and repeatedly farming an enemy whihc only appears in two places and even then in limited numbers. And two death powders, which is another mongraph drop (aka, it will eventually happen but not anytime soon) for another fairly uncommon enemy who spawns in an area that doesn't have a teleport crystal or anchor spot so you have to warp somewhere else and then travel by foot just to get there, and then you need a drop which has a 3-10% chance of dropping from one of the elemental entities, which only spawn under specific weather conditions, so you have to "zone" in and out of the area until you meet specific weather conditions to find the thing and when you do you have like a 97% chance of *not* getting what you're looking for from it.
And this is all for a sword that might be second tier at best. They gatekept stuff waaaay too fucking hard in this game. I understand not wanting to make the absolute s-tier stuff easy to get but Jesus, 9 fucking holy crystals to make the game's third-best crossbow when you also need them for white masks? It's crazy
