I thought XI did the silent protagonist really well, and it's my all-time favorite in the series. What I really want is for them to stop releasing the game and then 6 months to a year later re-releasing a "definitive edition" with a few extras, a full-price pice tag, and no way to "upgrade". Fuck you. I bought the game once. I'm not shelling out full price for a couple of extra tidbits. Either release the full game the first time or eat shit.
It was particularly bad with XI and the graphical downgrade (due to being based on the Switch version). So there effectively isn't even a definitive version.
I'm an idiot— even though I know my Roman Numerals, I wrote IX when I meant XI (Echos of an Elusive Age). I don't know what the "definitive" edition looks like, as I already own the OG and refuse to pay for another copy and have to get all the achievements all over again. The OG looks great to me, and I can't even use max graphic settings. I can only imagine how good it looks on max. If I'm understanding you correctly, the "definitive" edition looks worse? They can seriously go fuck a cactus. It's already not worth paying full price twice just to get some tidbits that aren't even tied to achievements. Japan puts out some amazing games. Classics. Industry changing innovations. But their decisions to do shit like that, as well as how they abandon their games after only a few bug fixes (that still don't fix many of the major bugs) has all but turned me off of games from the country that's known for video games.
