I think the first description is much more accurate (and interesting!) a pitch for FFXII, and I also don't think it has any spoilers in it, or at least not anything I'd consider a spoiler.

In a romance reading/reviewing Discord that I joined, people will say "content notes" and then the brief summary (e.g. loss of parent, grief, stalking, assault, etc.) will be behind one set of spoiler bars and the more detailed discussion will be behind another. I think that's an appropriate way of letting people choose what they want to see - sometimes I just need to know that a book will, broadly, have a Nope Topic (or confirm that the topics on offer are not my personal Nope.) I don't think that something that's the definition of a whole twist - like for example discussing a Shyamalan movie by explaining the twist at the end, or a murder mystery by naming the culprit - belongs outside the cut.

But like - I had the ending of FFXIII-2 spoiled for me in a top level comment and that really impacted my enjoyment of the game because I sat there dreading that ending the whole time and couldn't engage with the story as much. And that, I dislike.
