Something I mentioned in the anime topic -- and now that this is otaku central, I'll mention it here too (especially since it partly has to do with my outlook these days on RPGs) -- is that I really want to get into Fate Grand Order.... but it just takes too damn long. The game is heavy on boring cutscenes with dialogue in addition to having a lot of annoying tutorials for the battle system.

I long ago reached the point where I don't want to spend a stupid amount of time learning the basics of playing a game, which is what's turned me off from a lot of RPGs in general these days. And in-game tutorials are a kind of annoying trend. I understand how they're meant to ease players in, but it's a somewhat aggravating way to go about it that sucks the fun out of things.

I prefer low-entry (ie, so you can get started playing quickly) and then deeper gameplay in the late game. The Pokemon games are kind of a good example in this regard since you can play through the campaign with relatively little knowledge or understanding beyond the basics yet, the second you get to something like a Battle Tower, you get your ass handed to you if you don't know what you're doing.

(And, in general, I like how the Fate series explains magic -- in terms of people being born with circuits where, even if a person has no ability to use magic, if they have the circuit power can be channeled through them. Particularly because the visual looks kinda cool in Fate/Stay Night.)
