>Why does /v/ hate trails so much?
Because outside of the Sky trilogy and maybe Zero/Azure, the games are awful.
They have charm, there's no denying that, but the stories are the most baffling mix of quality where every twist and turn is designed to let down the player in the most disappointing ways possible, not because of some subversion nonsense but because someone actually thought it was a good idea.
Despite it being a long-running series, there's zero fucking planning involved and everything is written and rewritten at the last possible moment and pushed out on ridiculous time scales. Its a train wreck that rushes another train into the pile-up just fast enough to keep people interested in the chaos.
