games you dislike that everyone likes and vice versa

[TomGuycott]

One the topic of Mallow and Geno, let me compare them to a pair of SNES RPG contemporaries: Kain and FuSoYa from FFIV.

FuSoYa, like Geno, is powerful, mystical, and arguably the most connected to the main plot of the story, having extensive knowledge of what is wrong and who the main enemy is.

Kain and Mallow, on the other hand, are more relatable characters with far more interesting and explored story arcs.

So in the end, I guess what is probably winning Geno fans over is his design, power and mystical qualities rather than story power alone.
