I am playing Horizon Zero Dawn and haven’t gotten to the first main event, but it gives me this feeling like if I upgrade all my equipment now it might be for nothing. I know that is not the case, I looked it up, but what are some games that are the worst offenders? One I can think of is Aerith in the original FF7.
The early story they have you in basically a field, about to go to a huge event called the proving. There is this aura like the guy your with isn’t going to come and you’d be on your own (or maybe grow up a second time) and just have me this feeling like “it’s about to start over.”
