I am specificly referring to things like the battledome and retained retraining rules. The creators don't seem to understand what an RPG is and are treating it like video game mini-games are an ideal play pattern. Like are you going to want to reference some poorly designed minigame rule for Negg management?

Neopets seems like an ideal IP for something rules light, not something that is trying to be GTA on paper. I also sense that some of these designs might make the game feel unfaithful to Neopets.

Note that it's making a lot of promises for more rules, but not describing what those rules are. Which is likely a sign of the rules being very rough and needing a lot of work. Which is why I say it looks like a mess.

This looks like a trainwreck of video game mechanics that don't translate into RPG mechanics.

It's a jab at players for being overly attached to the system. Basically that pf2 players are wearing rose colored glasses.

 

And Hannah Montana is the lie of it being accessible to new players.
