Absolutely, but Japan doesn’t exactly have a good view of business and it’s place in society.

I mean, a spiritual successor is absolutely on the horizon. It’s a genuine masterpiece, artists will be emulating it in some way for decades at least.

I don’t think people quite grasp how big and terrible this news is. Kadokawa is the entertainment company. You have a favorite anime? It’s probably kadokawa’s or at least related to them some how. You like Japanese jank games? Chunsoft belongs to kadokawa. RPG Maker classics? RPG Maker belongs to kadokawa. Novels? They are a big publisher in addition to owning bookwalker. Not to mention the random shit they have like niconico. Did i mention tourism? Because they have a lot of that too.

This could genuinely be catastrophic for Japanese culture (and that means otaku culture too, weebs)

Man, i hope bioware paid good money for this article

Please don’t.

That looks so weird

This could unironically be a dark age for Japanese culture, if our experience with sony in Western circles is indicative of anything

More than just that, they are big novel publishers, they own spike chunsoft, hell they even have their hands in tourism and some science labs! Idk the broader culture of Sony, but experience with their gaming branch says this will be the disaster of our times for otaku.

That’s not just what’s at stake. Kadokawa is a massive company and this will hurt industries from books to anime to game development outside of fromsoft. On the publishing and consumer facing sides, btw. Apparently they even own a few scientific and tourism endeavors!

This is the end of an era the way the dark ages were, not the way the end of CGDCT in favor of isekai was

Not just a few games, this is gonna hurt anime too.

Pokemon is never gonna get better, is it

MC-kun does not sound like he measures up to The Dude. That sounds like the weakest part so far, which is unfortunate.

It’s a place where anyone kids can buy games, and you know that isn’t allowed in America. They should be in a factory or a church!

Don’t know. It just feels like the path is overwhelmingly focused on a stupid joke on the part of the court. When i first played through it i was expecting less ‘childlike’ and more ‘wonder’ and it’s just disappointing the way it is, especially for someone who liked azatas before they went into the game.

I, for one, never even heard of it

Did they ever make the azata better? Or is it still a kid’s idea of freedom? Azatas are easily the coolest outsiders in Pathfinder, it’s kinda sad that the unbelievably strong start went into mostly a big joke path.

No, it’s pretty mid action combat.

Wait, did he actually name it after snowcrash?

Didn’t they sell a One Piece toy as an authentic replica katana for their merch? How do they justify that one

I mean, sports enjoyers have historically been EA’s go to rubes.
