Points of no return and anything else that's permanently missable. No, I am not doing a second playthrough of a 100 hour JRPG.
I hadn’t had any games like this for a while until stalker 2. at the end I just wanted to be able to chill in the zone, hunt mutants and find artifacts but nah game over.
Final fantasy 9 comes to mind but I know all of them are guilty of it
It really depends of the implementation for me.
I completelly understand that if you take a mission where you kill a merchant, you loose the option to purchace from them or miss their questline etc. Its a story point where your acts changed the world.
But if you miss some unique loot item from dungeon you can go trough only once, because, it was too well hidden or it was behind some convoluted puzzle that you missed, im pissed.
Especially when there is some kind of “open every treasure chest” type of achievement, with one or two things locked out. So if you miss them in your initial playthrough, you’re completely locked out of that achievement until you replay it from the beginning.
Skyrim has a collectible item that is found in a main story area that is only accessible once. Its a very early mission and in one of the last thief's guild quests they will tell you to get that item. That might be 200h after you did that main quest ...
Good thing modding exists
Trails in the Sky has some interesting logic behind this where the gameplay serves the story.
You’ll do some quests for people who actually end up being evil later in the plot. There’s also party members who temporarily join you while they have time off from their other job - then as the story progresses, their “lunch break is over” and they go back to their life. So, if you try to save content for later, it won’t be there anymore.
Those little things end up putting more focus on what is accessible at a given moment, so a level 60 player isn’t going back to the starting area to wrap up quests he doesn’t care about for completion.
