I've more or less completely moved away from learning new, expansive games. The last time I really had immense fun playing a game was FF XII IZJS, and I think that's partly because I'd already played FF XII before. If I had had to learn everything from scratch, I might've lost patience. I still haven't played Lightning Returns for pretty much this reason. So I mostly play games I already know.

It's all good though, since I've found something a subgenre of particular not gameplay-centered games to pour all my heart and soul into
