The real problem is that there are too many useless fights with trash mobs.
Removing most of them and keeping only the challenging and memorable ones would be a better thing.
Another option is an option to switch between real-time with pause and turn-based at will. The Pathfinder games do that.

Saudia Arabia also gets the red carpet treatment, so sadly I'm afraid the situation will not get solved thanks to worldwide outrage.

Having multiple middle names is common in France. It doesn't mean that all French do it, though.

Corporate greed and advertisement is quite old, though.

Please stop saying that. Japan's suicide rate is on the decline and not that high.

The last photo of the post features a girl giving the finger towards the camera.
The author of the blog should know that taking a picture of someone without their consent is considered as quite rude in Japan.

Same issue in France. How is that even allowed?

I didn't know traditional houses over a hundred years old existed in this country. The sole exception that have witnessed are western style building in Hakodate, however they are anything but traditional.
More importantly, when you speak about these throwable houses, are you sure that is a "desirable feature"?
