FFXV

Once upon a time, I was very excited for this game. Then my trust in Squeenix began eroding, until this happened, and I washed my hands of it.

Which means that I completely forgot that a new game in what used to be my favorite series is coming out today, until I saw a poster for it on my way home from work.

How things change.

...an all-male party feels almost more approachable for players. Even the presence of one female in the group will change their behaviour, so that they'll act differently. So to give the most natural feeling, to make them feel sincere and honest, having them all the same gender made sense in that way...

Yet another case of me swearing that all of global popular culture is becoming far more conservative/retrograde as the pendulum swings. When I said this (not to you, but in general) almost 2 years ago, people often looked at me sideways. Now I think people are starting to see the light darkness.

...

Yeah, I'm playing DAI tonight.

For all Bioware's faults, I feel as though they keep attempting to push forward and make new mistakes each time, rather than backsliding and repeating the old ones.

My long-standing hope is that it's all backlash -- a response to progress, and therefore not sustainable -- but it's harder to feel that way all the time.
