Yeah. Nomura stated even back when he was "directing" this game that it was going to be a bro-fest from the beginning. It's a little too late to upset about that. If you want to upset, be upset that that ballroom scene where Stella and Noct first met that they hyped for years has been cut from the game.
I'm still digging the game though. I mean.. it still looks better than XIII. I like Tabata. I mean, no shade, he is kinda like the lessor form of Matsuno with his love of war and politics. I'm still confident I'll like this game even if I don't get it in my hands until Fall 2020. I'm just confused why it took so long to finalize on a scenario lol.
