we have been playing through tales of zestiria out of curiosity and we are learning more and more why people consider this game Bad

tales of zestiria minor spoilers 

the incident that really drove in how bad this game's message is was having a whole Thing in a sidequest where you learned about the city guard (basically police) being corrupt and taking bribes (not to mention "police brutality" that was specifically mentioned in those exact words earlier in the game)... and then immediately thereafter you catch this gang of pickpocket/burglar children who explicitly state that they steal because they don't have any other way to survive... and you're immediately presented with an option, do you turn them in to the city guard or not

both options result in turning them in to the city guard, who we *just* established were corrupt, and the characters all seem to agree that this is a good thing

there are several other things i could mention here where this game just has a bad political stance in general but that one was really egregious
