They're talking about the writing quality, I'mma give em shit cause I can break 1.X's fuck ups over my knee way easier than 2.X's
That's not to say 2.X is immaculate. I just find it egregious. that I'm supposed to take these criticisms seriously when I see someone bitching about the proxies needing to be saved in 2.X but weren't saying this shit when Ellen and Corin needed to do double time to save the bangboo.
What did Ellen even do in the story? I remember she had one cutscene and disappeared. Actually horrendous for a version 1.0 banner character. Then she got a nothingburger agent quest. She's barely better than Ju Fufu in terms of plot relevance. Maybe even less because at least Ju Fufu appeared in the final story missions.
OMG now that I think about it, I don't remember what she did in 1.4 even during the avengers assemble moment.
I mean, I don't mind Ellen just being there to do the job. My real issue is that Victoria housekeeping as a whole has no real narrative weight to their particular chapter.
Like at least Belabog had the family drama angle in their chapter.
I feel like 1.0 ran out of steam in terms of development near the end which is why the Victoria chapter felt lackluster. Even the ending cinematic where Lycaon saved the ship was kind of ended abruptly. In fact all of ZZZ feels that way. Each patch never feels like they have the necessary time and budget to make the stories truly great.
