A retcon would have required there to be some point in the original works where Nagini was identified as being a pure, natural snake. (This never happens.) In a world where more than just a few characters can turn into animals and those showing human intellect often are humans, pretending that this snake that showed…

1. Yes. Possibly. Show evidence otherwise.

Because the point was that blaming the author for something the film studio did is just plain silly. For all we know, she gave her input and they ignored her, or that they failed to find an actress to fit the part with the requirement first.

1. Possibly. We don’t actually know just how much control she has, so this is a purely assumptive argument.

She didn’t deliver it in a tweet, except to clarify she actually told someone that fact during a book signing.

There’s a few issues with the critiques, the largest being that no one on earth seems to know what the definition of “retroactive continuity” is anymore and therefore every surprise or detail not explained to them like they were idiots the moment it happened is suddenly a retcon.

1. The Author isn’t the casting director. Be glad it was still Asian in general and not recast to a white person.

So the main issue is that she needs to... stop... making things obvious. When your underlying issue is that these details were subtle and hard to make out in the original works?

Its’ more like that this is a game where the single player still seemed like an afterthought and them moving on and focusing on the thing the game was actually made for makes sense.

That’s absolutely not what Ethan was talking about, nor I. He was talking about playing alone and on the go, a situation where online isn’t really a guarantee.

You’ve actually bounced around a whole lot here. So trying to claim I’m not right just because you continually pick up the goal post and pitch it further away is kinda...

I’m not so much as feel the idea that the game’s design should be bent to do or facilitate the exact opposite of the point of the game seems like backwards thinking and cherry picking critique.

They try plenty of new things all the time. You may want to sit back and consider you just said that a company that’s the first to make a hybrid portable and home console who has revamped several of their current series and introduced several new IPs in the last year doesn’t try anything new.

So in summary...

You’re concerned that... Mario Party... might be short on... single player... options.

So you’re wishing a company that doesn’t make such games to start making such games instead of hiring out companies that do make such games with expertise to make them on Nintendo’s behalf?

So... Fantasy Life?

Eh, it’s Gatcha but it’s unpaid Gatcha which is optional since they hand you story blades.

You’re very, very narrowly defining ARPGs now. However, good news, Diablo itself will be on the Switch soon? ARPG is Action RPG, which would be any RPG with a live action oriented combat system. XBC2 is very much an ARPG. I was not aware the Diablo Clones took over the genre and now exclusively own it. But to each…

Pssst. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 has been out for a while now. Nintendo Published the game with a 3rd party developer just like this one. :)

Let’s let it be the CEO. Who seems to have known the company was going to fold for months yet hired people as early as a week before the firings.
