man cannot subsist on live service games and ongoing series alone you have to read or watch or play something that is complete and self-contained and ideally 5+ years old every now and then or you will die badly

It's funny that Visual Novels have a reputation in the West as being cheap to produce, a good idea for indie devs, because it feels like people look at the staging and scene-blocking of VNs from the 80s or 90s and go "yeah this seems easy".

But then Fate/Stay Night, a 20 year old game, has scene direction like displaying the "full moon in the night sky" CG, and zooming in on it so far that the white of the moon completely fills the screen, before transitioning to this CG and panning down so that Berserker's first scene has this really dramatic, effective pan.

Lancer's introduction in the Rin Prologue also zooms in on a normal background before transitioning to an event CG with the camera in the "same spot" so it can then pan right to reveal Lancer perched on a railing.

Like, oops, turns out Visual Novels can actually do some insane things with their visuals, even as of 20 years ago, and western game devs are just shockingly behind on the potential of the medium.
