the FFXIII trilogy ends with Claire "Lightning" Farron taking the collective souls of humanity and shaping them into a massive sword with which she kills God,

but now because of the whining of internet dipshits, 16 gave us mardy Clive and his girlfriend who might as well not be there for how fucking little she contributes

#I'm still mad about that #like 15 had its issues with women lacking prominence #but that game had endless development issues and at the least delivered on having a strong party dynamic #with Noct and the boys #Clive's dog doesn't even bark unless scripted and Jill spends most of the game standing in the background of cutscenes smiling blandly #it's just especially striking because like - the remakes are still delivering on having women in major roles #and even spinoffs like stranger of paradise have a party dynamic and a party that's 2/5 women #so the next major title being 'one guy and the shallow party system clearly bootstrapped on late in development'#is just even more of a fucking disappointment #fuck off Clive - go do the plumbing or whatever it is you're good at
