As a kid, the Torizo fight half-traumatized me because of how scary it was. I had a NP magazine that said there was another one later in the game, so I was always spooked by elevators and item rooms the whole time.

That would be great if Sundowner wasn't such an easy boss. His theme is really good, but you'll waste him in no time flat and you will probably not get to hear it. On my revengeance run I failed getting an S rank because I killed him too quickly and the mooks didn't spawn and it fucked up my score.

Well first off chapter based games are usually shit from the start unless it was a feature that was added later into the development of the game.
Second, your explanation reminds me of the trails series. I am a completionist of sorts so when a game will take a minor thing, for example in the Trails series they make it so after you progress to the next area, you can no longer get the books from the previous area. I don't remember exactly what collecting every one of the books gives but I think it is in the vein of "the best weapon for the 2 main protags". Now those weapons obviously aren't needed to complete the game but being a 2D JRPG it has a fuckload of grinding if you don't do everything perfectly (and sometimes even if you do). So having those weapons would be a great help in the long run even if to just cut down on time grinding for the final boss.
Don't get me wrong either. The books weren't hard to find if you talked to every NPC in the game and checked every clickable object but they weren't really easy either (especially since some of them required talking to NPCs at certain times in the game so if you talked to an NPC when you first arrive at the new area and never go back to them again. You may miss out of something important like one of the books.

Well, for one they went nuclear on anything resembling loli. Just try searching for Kodomo no Omocha there nowadays. Might still find some of the forum topics, if they haven't been nuked.
The biggest shitshow was when they got rid of Kodomo no Jikan on the basis of it being child porn for creepy guys, against the hardliners who argued that not only was it made by a woman based on some of her own experiences, it is a pretty fucked up examination of the usual puppy love tropes. But no, muh panty shot, must burn.

Not Skeletons.
Morrowind does have dialogue with random enemy NPCs if you can charm them, though. One of them is even a Master Trainer for one of the skills. Also, the Ash Vampires all have dialogue, if you do something along those lines.
Battlespire on the other hand lets you communicate with all of the enemies in the game right off the bat. You can even bully a lot of the weaker ones - like one of the Scamps in the first area - into becoming your followers. It's pretty based.

The gist of the story is that you're chasing after a girl you love.
In the final chapter (chapter 1) you finally meet up with the girl and you play through the stage as she removes obstacles in your way.
When you get to the end of the stage you play the stage in rewind and realize that she wasn't moving obstacles out of the way, she was trying to put obstacles in your path that you just barely managed to avoid. The person who kidnapped her was actually someone she ran to for help.
Obviously, it completely changes the tone of the game after that.
Then there's some retarded theories about the girl being an atomic bomb but it's best not to think too artistically. Just play it out and take the story for what it is.

The atomic bomb shit was because there was a quote from its inventor put into the end. The entire product is more pretentious than it is engaging tbh.

TVtropes, all PC behavior aside, has a terrible community full of idiots by design. They all think they're geniuses for recognizing reoccuring elements in creative works. A trope is just one of many literary devices, and to treat it like the be-all and end-all of analysis is a sign that you're an idiot. And this goes double with a medium like video games, where a trope more often serves a practical purpose than an artistic one - exploding red barrels or bottomless pits are not used to add to the story, they add depth to gameplay without forcing the player to mentally juggle new concepts. 90% old, 10% new is a deliberate game design strategy for a reason.

Not only that, some of them have dialogue interactions with you, and all of them have unique personalities.
One of them offers you a bottle of Ancient Dagoth Brandy and a chat before you challenge him, the one guarding Keening asks if you're there to challenge his station in order to impress Dagoth Ur. Two of them are rude and just tell you to get on with fighting them, the first tells you to shut up and the second says he's not going to make any flowery speeches. Another one of implies that you talking to him is just a misdirection to avoid being killed, but that he was raised to be polite and therefore won't interrupt you. Dagoth Uthol will actually just let you go if you tell him you've come to submit to Dagoth Ur. It made me respect some of them a lot more than if they were just boss enemies with different names.

This was a good one.
Hair gets darker and skin gets more pale and mottled with each colossus taint you absorb and by the end of the game you've even started to grow horns. It was super subtle and you don't really start to notice the changes until you're deep enough into the game that you start to wonder whether or not you're doing the right thing by killing off the colossi.

It was the first and only game I ever played that genuinely felt like a work of art. I spent hours on the demo alone just wandering around because of the feeling of lonely adventure the game carried so well. I didn't think you could so effectively convey an emotion like loneliness while playing a game and make if genuinely fun on top of that.

Elves were useless in MMZ1. You want one that increases your max life? Hope you like raising it by like 5 levels, which requires an obscene amount of E-Crystals. I don't think I've played through the game and raised one to max level.
At least MMZ3 let you equip satellite elves if they were grown and on the correct mode, so you could wear up to two of them for effects, which didn't harm your score.
If you were playing on hard, you could only charge your shield boomerang (or use knuckle on 4) for elemental attacks.

I wonder if a game has this trope where you're near the final boss entrance and all the elite mooks are given explicit instructions from the final boss not to fight you. And they're just standing side by side of the path leading to the entrance either staring at you, nodding in respect or mocking you.

High skill games that focus on the often ignored skill of patience, such as games that cannot be beaten without several hundred hours of level grinding and item farming just to stand a chance.
