i wasn't defending the game, and you literally just moved all the goal posts of the original argument that the dlc content we got was somehow cut content from the original game. it wasn't. it wasn't shit you needed in the game. it was *bonus* content. as in additional, unnecessary, "hey this is some cool extra stuff we cooked up using assets we already had".

yeah it sucks the episodes for the female characters were cut and i actually agree that ffxv deeply sucks on how it's handled its female characters on top of having no women in the main party. idk why you're trying to make it sound like i'm defending the game's weird sexism.
