Comment on IG CEO: “I Thought The New Motoko Was Awful Too!” by Juno:

Since when was Ghost in the Shell about the character designs or voice acting? Everyone is assuming the worst because the guy who designed Mardock Scramble designed the new GitS character designs, and a new set of voice actors/actresses have assembled? I know nostalgia factor is a big part of why people watch new versions of old classics, but…

  Post-modern, industrialized motorcycle superhero gore moe seems like it’d be quite a unique look. Is this change really that drastic, though? She looks somewhat younger, but she still looks like Makoto to me. Or maybe I got so used to the original that the anime didn’t really influence me as much? The novels, too.

  I’m also in the beta. Though game mechanics are all set in and just getting debugged, most of the big features are being reserved for actual players in the real game.

  Anime is an entire category at every karaoke building I visited in Japan (in not-so-dense rural areas, too). It seems like they’ve always been there, since there are plenty classic anime and current anime that even the mainstream public watches, and it’s not just for niche fans. It’s hard not to find a song from Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto, or One Piece under the anime section and though many karaoke videos are original and have live-action videos, some of the ones more closely related to a popular …

• Not Again: Final Fantasy XV = “Action RPG”:
  

  The franchise doesn’t have a singular mindset. It has a bunch of different developers from different teams trying different things. When it started out, the people WERE of the same mindset, but Square is not the same it was back then (no company would be over this much time–if they were, many people would shrug them off as “stagnant”). Nomura is experienced with action-RPG’s. So FFXV is an action-RPG. Whether it will be a good action-RPG or just become overshadowed by action-RPG’s in the West …

• Not Again: Final Fantasy XV = “Action RPG”:
  

  I dunno. Most people who were excited for the game since its reveal long ago already knew it would be a more free-world, action-based RPG. I doubt those people were disappointed by this game trailer. Anyone who didn’t expect something non-turn-based didn’t care enough to put the time into researching it in the first place. What little info we had at least told us this. There was even a cutscene trailer out for years, so we knew what the characters looked like long ago. Which is why I’m confused …
