@UltimaShadowX Something I feel like gamers really need to start being aware of is Danganronpa is *really* popular right now.
This feels like the gamer Gen Z equivalent of putting Moana and Bluey in the same image
@SpaceCowboysDie@UltimaShadowX Also just game dev nerd knowledge but Kodaka, Fox, and Taro have been somewhat close recently. Idk how deep it goes but they’re starting to feel like just big name game devs floating around rn, so I could see how one network connection would circle around.
Still a bit funny tho
@SpaceCowboysDie@UltimaShadowX It def comes and goes. With 100 line and 2x2 it’s kinda peaking again tho.
Think it’s just wildly successful in offering accessible controversial characters that do have a lot of love put into them. Makes it very easy to talk about + attach to for younger audiences
@decemberhunting All pens should be better than Bic. Not all pens will be better than Bic. Bic is the true control group that maintains harmony over pen discourse
@overkiZzgo He’s also genuinely kind of a sweetie at heart. Aside from Kaito, he’s literally the only character to actually reach out to the MC out of friendship instead of some weird motives. A shame they didn’t give him more
As the ultimate photographer, it felt like she had a lot of meaningful thoughts on the world in a journalistic sense making her one of the few politically inclined DR charas.
Major shame she went out early and we never got her full perspective and takes on the DR2 environment
@ak4781205654@lanxre Not fully a pass or anything and critics like this need to exist, but I do feel like Wuwa is doing their best to expand on Huanglong in V3.
Not sure if I like these designs yet since they do have an air of redundancy, but ig there’s “a let them cook” consideration too
@ak4781205654@lanxre Idk idk, but it seems recently clear that globally recognized media throughout history plays a large role in their design process.
South-West and Northern Europe have years of global media to draw from, but China hasn’t been allowed to play on the global stage in the same way.
@lanxre This feels kind of mean, but honestly NTE had such a rich cast of strange City world building on release, and every future banner character feels like unoriginal gacha slop so maybe fair
@UNDYlNG_HOPE I also think in this universe, Shuichi would need to die/be more of a side character, and Maki would need to take the center stage in place of Kyoko to offer a bitter yet accurate outlook to overwhelm Kaede.
She could be a great commander tho leading on emotions over facts tho
@UNDYlNG_HOPE My insanely hot take is Kaede could have been an SSS tier protagonist if given the chance, but in my head V3’s cast would have to become a mirror of THH’s cast and her journey would need to be similar to Makoto’s where she always chooses hope no matter how bad she’s pushed down
@lollingvoid@RinoTheBouncer I’m optimistic because ToTK was far more horror than BoTW — seems like they circled back some.
Worth adding JabuJabu, all spiders, and Ganon will need to be upsetting in new ways as well. The temples also need to feel holy and sacred, but evil as well for it to land imo
@lollingvoid@RinoTheBouncer Seriously. I’ve come to realize OoT is really built on visual horror for kids, making it a true “test of courage” to play. Really hope they find a way to rebuild the kid friendly horror if they’re spending time on this remake
