Hey everyone, been thinking a lot about the evolution of RPGs on Nintendo platforms lately. With the Switch 2 getting some big titles like Tales of Arise, I'm wondering if anyone else misses certain aspects from the older generations. Like, remember the intricate menu systems or the more 'grindy' combat from DS/3DS era RPGs, or even earlier on SNES/N64? Or do you prefer the more streamlined, action-oriented approach many newer RPGs are taking? I sometimes feel the newer ones sacrifice depth for accessibility, but maybe that's just nostalgia talking. What's your take on the shift in RPG design for Nintendo systems over the years? Which style do you prefer and why?
