Because of course they figure out a way to fuck it up.

It's Embracer, how can you expect anything else? They're bigger than any other game company in existence.

I think he was talking about SE fucking it up, not Embracer

We must protect Yoshi P at all costs to save us from NFTs entering the final fantasy franchise

[NynJa]

about that...

Can I use the r-word here?

[Lucavi]

People forget that outside of the Enix side and 2 of their business units, SE basically makes flop after flop. XI and XIV's revenue saved this company time after time. I'm not surprised they're trying to "diversify" even more by going into NFT bullshit.

[Zealot]

When you've got Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest revenue guaranteed you can afford to get experimental with the rest of your library.

That said I'm surprised they would give up Tomb Raider, feels like that's an IP they went after when they had the chance and did a fair amount with.

[Lokus]

I'll gladly let them get experimental. Just need another batch of similar creative people that brought us Brave Fencer Musashi, Einhander, Bushido Blade, etc.

I mean, Tomb Raider did underperform in their eyes, so it's not really a surprise they yeeted it.

That said, I guess we just continue down the path I've been warning gamers about for a long time now.

They fucked up when they changed Lara Croft when from an E cup to a B cup.

This is their chance to start a new franchise centered around the lucrative 90s Tia Carrere vehicle "Relic Hunter."

The Souls-like of fighting games before Souls-like was a thing. Loved that series, got a ton of mileage out of couch matches with friends back in late middle school/early high school.

I would be remiss to not feel this something of a factor no matter how much big tid haters would skree about realism or their own preference in attraction. The character simply had her origins as a badass and a sex symbol. Concepts that almost seem increasingly mutually exclusive anymore when they don't have to be.

So over the pandemic, one of the rerun channels had Relic Hunter going and my mom had it on.
Lindy Booth is goddam Dorian Gray, over a decade between Relic Hunter and The Librarians, and she's pmuch unchanged.

Shinji Hashimoto has retired.

He was the Brand Manager of Final Fantasy for the last decade, and is (as the story goes) basically the reason Kingdom Hearts exists.

"We're doing this to focus on NFT and blockchain."
"Oh, not that money. *This* money will."

No wonder Hashimoto said 'deuces, please be excited.'

[NynJa]

AKA: the realization that crypto and NFT is a ponzi scheme.

Dunno how they plan on improving that amazing PSP remaster, but I am stoked and all for this.
