There's this thing that happens to me a lot with JRPGs. The villain comes up with a lecture about how much the hero sucks, and the hero has no response, and I DO have a response. I keep waiting for the hero to say any of the things that are going through my head about how the villain is an overgrown infant throwing a tantrum, and he never comes up with anything as the villain keeps ranting and ranting, and I just keep getting angrier as I wait for anyone to shut this tool up. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has a terrible case of this even by JRPG standards.

(Actually, you know what's weirdly good at shutting up villains? Kingdom Hearts. "Darkness is the heart's true essence." "I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't care.")
