Well, I'm putting things up for the night now after having completed Dungeon 5, which really wasn't a very interesting dungeon. The dungeon was decent enough, but it just felt somewhat lame since it was just regurgitating ideas from a much better earlier dungeon, with only one new element thanks to the dungeon's weapon. It also didn't help that you have to go through several smaller dungeons in what turns out to be a total waste of time (gee, imagine that happening in this game) before you are even allowed to enter the main dungeon. The boss was visually interesting, but was so simple and easy to kill that it felt like a let-down after how awesome the boss of Dungeon 4 was.
Unfortunately, over 30 hours into the game now one thing's become very much clear: Fi is the worst part of this game. She ruins this game all on her lonesome. Oh, sorry, I guess I should stop calling it a "she", because that implies there is some actual personality to that Ghost in the Shell. Fi is Nintendo's definitive declaration to the entire gaming populace that they think we are all STUPID. They think I am stupid. They think you are stupid. They even make it obvious that they think the casuals are stupid.
Why does Nintendo think we are all stupid? Because Fi never shuts up. She chimes in after just about every cutscene, every major exchange of dialogue with an NPC, and every camera hint to the player. She reveals the solution to puzzles, the use of certain dungeon items, and the means to take down various enemies...ALL without being asked by the player. And since you cannot turn her off, you are FORCED to endure her bland monologues about every single thing in the game, and it does major harm to the game's exploration and puzzle-solving with this spoiler-toting harpy chiming in every other step. Sure, we've have characters like Navi and Midna in the past who were fond of chiming in, but they usually only did so when the player prompted them to give advice. Fi chimes in whether you want her or not.
Yes, Fi, believe it or not, but 5 dungeons into the game I am very well aware of what a boss key chest looks like. Yes, I know what hitting those particular crystals does, because I've already done it for several dungeons now! Yes, I know how much in love with dowsing you are, but I don't care! I'm not going to use it unless I have to! Yes, I know that event just happened, because I WAS ****ING THERE AND JUST SAW A WHOLE CINEMATIC SHOWING THAT EVENT!"
Fi is Nintendo's complete admission that they think we are too stupid to understand simple cues like camera hints, too slow to learn from experience how to deal with the same situation when it pops up consistently over a multiple-hour experience. She is an insult to us, and I think she is an insult to the very casuals she was designed for.
