I believe that Fromsoftware will not announce anything new until Duskbloods is released. So either wait until next year or there's a chance the earliest during The Game Awards for some new announcement.
This year Summer Game Fest is not half bad, still only 3 games from it interest me, Fumito Ueda's gen ATLAS, Platinum The Last Ronin, and Stellar Blade Blood Rain. Nothing else interests me.
Sony's exclusive games are no longer of interest to me. All of them look the same. I still play on their console(PS5), and I might buy PS6 if the price is reasonable, as I dislike playing games on PC. In the recent state of play, the only new title I'm interested in is Ace Combat 8, everything else is just not for me. The Onimusha demo is a lot of fun, can't wait to play it. I guess there'll be 3 premium games I'll buy this year, more than I expected.
People need to understand that Genshin has been running for nearly 6 years, and it is consistently as no 1. The revenue it gets is invest on creating HSR and ZZZ, adding more consistent high revenue numbers. Hoyo knew it was impossible to keep the same player numbers for many, many years; that's why they diversified. Combine all 3 games' numbers, nothing can match Hoyo at all. Hoyo will dominate for many more years.
As someone who loves the old Tales of games from Destiny to Graces, I don't like the new ones starting Xillia till now, as I don't feel the sense of adventure similar to the old titles, only just feeling full-on action. I hope Arise would revitalize my feelings towards the franchise, but in the end, it doubled down and became another boring game.
The interest of the game is low but many are still waiting for 3.0.
People will dismiss the Gacha revenue, yes most of it is speculation and most of it only on mobile. But the health of Gacha games is indeed projected from the revenue.
Many people will also dismiss it and claim that most people play on PC and Console even though the majority of them still pay on mobile as it's easier especially for Asian players. This includes Genshin and WuWa.
Listen, it doesn't matter. She still has her Angel powers, so she is still an Angel as she said it herself many times.
No, she doesn't guiding people to change fate as it's IMPOSSIBLE to be done as long as Irminsul is excited. Everything that happens is guided by fate, yes, including what happened in Fontaine and the burning of Irminsul. Now that Irminsul is burned, fate is uncertain and only now can it be changed.
She is guiding people to achieve the best possible outcome within what fate has decided.
This will be my final reply. And words you show it doesn't matter as action is louder than any words.
For more than 6000 years even after half of her power is stripped, all Nicole action is to be a guidance for humanity as that is the job, obligation and role of an Angel. For more than 6000 years everything she did only as Angel would do, she did not love only one person, she did not violate any taboo for an Angel.
This is enough for her to be still an Angel. She lost most of her powers and voice, she obtained a human body, the erosion of time made her even weaker as she lost more of her power and memories but at the end of the day she still an Angel and did what the role of an Angel always does.
The once Angel Seele still guiding people to treasure. The once Angel Lord of the Night guiding lost soul into the leyline. The once Angel Nabu Malikata sacrificed her life to obtain the technology of Celestia with Aaru guiding the future to save humanity by replacing the burning Irminsul.
Similar to Nicole all these Angels no longer have the body of an Angel but all of them still are an Angel. The guide of humanity who will love all. Yes, all the restrictions of an Angel still hold to them even after their body have changed, there's a reason Nabu Malikata rejected King Deshret love. There's a reason Nicole is still afraid of getting close to a human but I know she is less afraid now because of Alice but it's clear the Angel restrictions still hold on to her.
Yes, she is a special case as she have said that many times also but it doesn't negate the fact that she still retain her some of her Angel power.
You need to read carefully what she meant how she lost most of her powers. HP do not strip of her power but because of erosion of time, she lost most of her powers similar to Zhongli.
She just getting too old. That is the reason she lost most of her powers.
But because she still have it, she still an Angel with all the obligation comes with it. Including about love.
@nwenempire@DarkRavenGamerX The only thing she sacrificed is that she lost her voice and became human, that's literally it. She doesn't gain any of her freedom to love one individual.
@nwenempire@DarkRavenGamerX She does not lose "ALL" her powers. All the feats she has done in the AQ are impossible without an Angel power. Especially what she did to save Nahida. She said many times she still retains most of her Angel powers.
@nwenempire@DarkRavenGamerX She has mentioned she is an Angel so many times during the story quest. So this one line will negate all of that? I believe what she meant in that one line is that "when we have the full form of an Angel," as right now, she is still an Angel, but also with a human body.
@nwenempire@DarkRavenGamerX No matter whether she is a human or not, she is still an Angel; that fact never changes. The Vision just makes her even more monitored by the heavens. After more than 6000 years, her obligation as an Angel never changes.
@nwenempire@DarkRavenGamerX Even though she have the body of a human, she still have a job/title as an Angel as she still retain most of her power so she can't love as she still "not so free" as her "circumstances haven't improved that much"
I'll give you my perspective. Sandrone uniqueness hasn't lost. You have experienced it during the major AQ. The fact she becomes playable without Pulonia doesn't change anything. She still stand out. If they don't change her personality and demeanor, she is still unique to me, with or without Pulonia.
To revive someone from death something must be sacrificed or else Sandrone death is not a big deal. There must be consequences. It needs to be something people care about or else it'll be meaningless.
You needn't make any judgement just based on leaks. Wait until her story is revealed, until you play it yourself then make your judgement if she still or no longer unique.
@JohnHunt1821220@larlaristy Campaign like this happens every year. It's still bigger during Natlan. But the hate because of leaks, indeed seems bigger especially when engagement hate bait has become even popular now on Twitter.
