FTFY. I don't care how good you say the game is, I don't want to sit through a young adult novel in order to play it.
I'm gonna level with you: I've played all sorts of games over the last 30 years, not just JRPGs, and I can't think of a single popular game that isn't an adolescent power fantasy.
I wouldn’t call The Last of Us an adolescent power fantasy
Being one of the few survivors of a zombie apocalypse? Still a power fantasy. Though I'll grant that The Last of Us does a better job of taking the player through the implications.
Idk I don’t feel very powerful when playing that game. And I’d struggle to call it any type of fantasy.
The term "adolescent power fantasy" loses all meaning if you apply it so broadly.
Red Dead Redemption 2. The only AAA RPG/ARPG I can think of. The exception that proves the rule.
