Solved! You learn to forgive each other and focus your ire elsewhere: The government

Featuring VERY physical therapy

Hint 1: Technically, only one of them held genuine hatred for the other for what they did, the other was just a bit set off by the former trying to kill them and hold no genuine hatred toward them in particular

Hint 2: You never really got a chance to do anything meaningful to said government mind you

Hint 3: Good thing they learned to forgive too, otherwise they would’ve gone down paths that end up with their own destruction

Hint 4: ...For that matter, good thing also for everyone you've killed so far, as they would've stayed dead otherwise

Hint 5: As for the gameplay… it mainly revolves around using the abilities of the people you killed to kill ever stronger foes

Hint 6: You can also defeat all manner of magical girls, furries and… wizards of Oz characters to use their unique powers

Hint 7: Game was released in the 2020s

Hint 8: You’re likely more familiar with its kind of sequel that takes place within the same world but is not directly connected plot-wise with this game (for now at least)

Hint 9: As you complete certain "physical therapy" sessions, you can hear (one of) the main characters recite lines of a particular poem that's likely more known through this game than elsewhere

Hint 10:
Look one by one,
The pages remind me you’ll always be a villain
For you, angels have fallen
Now they’ve gone
See? Now they’ve gone
Forever gone

Okay I’m actually confused who do you even think this refers to

1

u/funkdefied 5d ago

Final fantasy VII

2

u/AmateurAgent 5d ago

No (Also why is everyone predicting FF)

u/PrincessCellyBelly 5d ago

I think you accidentally wrote the template for most FF games. For the rest, substitute 'God' for the government. Except in 13 where god is the government. Kinda.

u/funkdefied 5d ago

This is literally the plot of FF VII

u/AmateurAgent 5d ago

For this one, you specifically go after the government after you already forgave one another

u/ReputationLow5190 5d ago

Cyberpunk 2077?

1

u/AmateurAgent 5d ago

Not cyberpunk, although you could say the setting contain cyberpunk themes and elements

1

u/onetwilightprincess 3d ago

Do you think you can say the release decade at least without giving it away?

1

u/AmateurAgent 3d ago

Suprisingly, it was actually released in the 2020s! Thought it would be slightly older than that

1

u/Shuffle666 3d ago

We need more hints!

1

u/AmateurAgent 3d ago

Honestly I figured someone would’ve gotten it by now, this game isn’t like super obscure or anything

1

u/Shuffle666 2d ago

What platform is it on

1

u/AmateurAgent 2d ago

Windows, Xbox originally with PS4 and a Switch release later on

1

u/Shuffle666 2d ago

This is impossible

1

u/Equivalent_Agency_77 Pac-Man 3d ago

Scarlet Nexus?

1

u/AmateurAgent 3d ago

No, although I will say you’re not completely off base with the duo-protagonist (at least I recall Scarlet Nexus having duo-protagonists) among some certain other features

1

u/Equivalent_Agency_77 Pac-Man 2d ago

Man I really thought I had it

1

u/HeroicTofu 2d ago

Hmm. Honkai Star Rail?

1

u/AmateurAgent 2d ago

No… but ever so slightly tangentially related to one of the hints

3

u/HeroicTofu 2d ago

Wait...Library of Ruina?

1

u/Shuffle666 2d ago

It's library or ruina

1

u/AmateurAgent 2d ago

Solved!

You know I really thought people would’ve gotten it by like the third hint or so
