I tried to make a thread about my favorite 1990's retro game series besides Spyro, Gex, yesterday. But some janny banned me for a while, saying it doesn't count as "retro"! Is a game no longer retro if it's recieving modern attention?

IX, an overrated and overhyped game that nostalgia shills praise the heck out of simply because it has castles and airships in it, completely ignoring the mediocre plot and writing, gaping holes and contrivances, and especially the poorly done love story of Zidane and Garnet.
The game acts like Zidane and Garnet’s love story is big deal when it really isn’t and doesn’t deliver on it. Not enough focus and then there is Garnet abandoning him first chance she gets and never gets chewed out for it.
Most of it’s issues are explained in detail here in this commentary of the game script: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/14012757/1/Everything-Wrong-with-Final-Fantasy-IX

Yeah, I'm thinking it's time for you to explain yourself.

Yep, it's time to talk about the best action-adventure game ever made.

I remember making a suggestion here that instead of a 32x, why not just do what Virtua Racing did and make special Genesis cart games? People talked down to me and said it wouldn't work...
But trying to offload inventory at $30 or if you can't do that, turn it into scrap, makes a lot more sense, right?

why is this game hated now?

As you get older, do you find yourself sympathizing with the moral guardians of the past?
Some time ago I was listening to an episode of Retronauts about Mortal Kombat. When they got to talking about the moral outrage over the game, the hosts, a bunch of childless 40 years mocked it just like I would have when I was 9 years old.
But on the other hand, it sort of hit me as I have kids of my own - were the parental reactions THAT unreasonable? Games were evolving incredibly quick -we went from Pac Man to MK in a decade. Shouldn't you have concerns about the media ecosystem that your kids partake in? I have kids and I feel like you really have to have an eye on the stuff your kids consume, especially nowadays. I mean I turned out fine so maybe I shouldn't be concerned with this shit.
