Because that is... that is pretty wild. I was perusing the ps5 store and remembered that ys 10 got a re-release, making me glad I waited, and since I finally beat 9 in the beginning of the year, thought about checking what is available.

But that price really took me by surprise, and it doesn't even have like, gameplay content type dlc it seems to be just a whole bunch of item packs. So that really shocked me. Its a huge leap from i think Ys 9 being... $80 with the extra content?

After finally watching the 2 shows from start to finish over the last year, catching all the episodes I missed from when I was a preteen, on a journey that really puts into perspective the phrase "its all about the journey, not the destination" because I absolutely loved the wild ride that was buffy and angel. But at the same time, the abrupt nature of their endings, Angel even more so than Buffy, makes me wonder if they simply didn't know how to end it.

These shows are defined by how much they popularized the idea of 4th wall jokes and meta commentary, and having some of the most likable, fleshed out characters in modern tv history. So it makes me wonder if a show built on being self-aware and winking at the audience simply didn't know how to effectively end the show without coming across as the very cliches they tended to lovingly poke fun at.

I still very much would say I like the shows and urge others to experience them, but there is definitely a noticeable difference between the extreme highs I felt during the early seasons of both shows compared to the end of their run, although they still made laugh and had smart writing to the very end.
