That's true, but you can't paint that immediately as if it were a bad thing all the time - I really do want to control other people's ability to kill me and get away with it.
This just kinda irritates me. There were Germans on Normandy beach who didn't know anything about the concentration camps. The Japanese, who are portrayed in quite a few WWII games, had absolutely nothing to do with it. Just because you supported German imperialism doesn't mean you wanted to kill all the jews. Why is WWII the only war where we allow ourselves to draw these perfect good/evil lines? We weren't even on the beach because of the camps!
Speech is irritating - you can't just leave and go to the bathroom. Text allows you to play the game at your own pace - and the writing in the better SNES RPGs is far superior to voice acting in most video games.
And y'know - some of us DO prefer a woman with good personality to a good looking one. If she's a hottie, too - that's just icing on the cake. Graphics are just icing to me, and not even GOOD icing.
