I mean this is largely the real reason why these games are happening: It’s crafting an FF7 cinematic universe where every game and spinoff is canon and can be referenced.

I think it still kind of did. But Sephiroth showed up to throw a wrench into the original timeline. That’s why anytime remake started to deviate from the events of the original game, the whispers would show up to try and correct the course.

It’s like people skipped the entire last three hours of the game. It baffles me that anyone who played remake missed the fact that this is NOT just a retelling of the original story. 

“The biggest issue during development appears to be a clash between the fundamental design of Elden Ring and Tencent’s goals with a mobile version of the game... [said to be] free-to-play but pulls in billions through in-app purchases.”

Yeah it’s like, I really am a little concerned about his worldview (please don’t make this game into about how “cancel culture” and people being “mean” online destroyed society, there’s a real danger based on the description lol), and he really only knows how to make one game.

He’s cannot complete that challenge because he’s got a very limited but also very vivid imagination for societies and worlds, and extremely “aging NYT columnist” politics/worldview. I don’t say this with hate because I really enjoyed Bioshock and I love the style of the worlds he comes up with but it is a real…

Me: nods slowly in agreement. 

That’s like asking Yoko Taro to put female characters in *actual* clothes

I challenge Ken Levine to make a game not set in a weird city sequestered away from the rest of society.

“I just wish he’d hire folks to help him write dialogue in a way normal people talk, and maybe hire an editor to structure a story into something that’s coherent.”

I’m glad people are enjoying the game.  Everything I’ve seen on it just does not appeal to me but hey... not every game is for everybody.

Come to PC~~~~~

There is no such thing as a parody law in Japan, copyright law is much stricter there, it doesn’t work like in the US with fair use stipulations.

You forgot to mention that Lightning ultimately ends up in rural France, a fate perhaps worse than death

You never saw Excel Saga or other anime parodies huh

Ah. that’s why it was pulled then.  

Craftopia came out before TOTK and is a open world survival game with completely different gameplay.

It kind of feels like people are trying to will a lawsuit into existence because drama means clicks.

My favorite part of this story is that nintendo hasn’t actually said anything. People are getting defensive over armchair analysis.
