The "isekai" genre is very popular in Japan

I'm looking forward to this shit fucking bombing

Why doesn't Square Enix listen to their actual black fans? They let a smug white liberal hack Gary Whitta decide what they want from a video game and act surprised when blacks are turned off by shit they make. It's like they can't stop patronizing us.

black weebs like the exact same stuff white weebs do. This is not a shock to anyone but some retarded white SE exec in America

>isekai
I fucking hate weebs despite posting on a weeb imageboard

black weebs like fighting games way more than white weebs

Isn't he the one that got called out for shitting on animes being normies?

>implying
>ignoring 2K games

Kawaii bullshit and softcore pornography. I'd prefer more old school stuff like Ninja Scroll or Rune Soldier. But the era is what it is and that shit does not sell. Not even to "weebs".

I don't think a game that has ever featured a black person on the cover has been a success outside of sports games. Same goes for women.

She's cute

thrilling character design

>Except it's not an otaku power fantasy and the game doesn't look anime
Isekai doesn't have to look like anime its just a term fucking Ultima is technically an isekai.

Prototype 2, San Andreas, Marlow Brigs... meh, they exist but the games also have vision beyond culture war shit

I'm eagerly awaiting the porn.

That's a man

I don't know about the third one since but the first two prove me wrong. Though GTA was already very popular and SA was very much anticipated regardless of the MC's race. Also they never made a prototype after 2.

>defending woke shit
Stop that

retard

RETARD ALERT RETARD ALERT

OP is as retarded as whoever greenlit this game.

no one cares about forenigger

Not when they give her that awful haircut

MB was more like a cult hit, game journalists didn't like it because [something-sexism-something]. Like I said, if a game has a good vision then the characters usually don't fuck with you... but since gen z and millennials can't create anything worth damn, we get this.

A FRIKKIN DRAGON!!!

BADASS!!!

literally the daughter of european aristocracy yet for some reason ameriniggers are meant to feel empowered because she's in a shitty square enix open world game
identity politics are so weird

yeah
ignoring the racebait reasoning, the game itself looks horribly boring and generic

>she

meds

It's going to flop like Deathloop

>literally the daughter of european aristocracy
looks like your aristocrats have gotten quite lax in their irrelevance

there's a reason why SE is selling off their western ips and closing those studios

Dilate, black women are just ugly trannies.

>woman
dropped

reminder that the lead writer for this game is some game journalist from pc gamer

absolutely
it will be labeled a critical darling that almost no one will play
the few who do will say it's fine before moving on to something else
eventually, more will give it a shot when it's in bargain bins and 80% off online

>Luminous Engine is no more
bazzy on suicide watch

I didn't buy Stranger of Paradise because Jack was a western bait protagonist.

I'm not buying Forspoken because this girl is a western bait protagonist.

Stop injecting west pandering characters into my Japanese games.

And give me back my lolis.

Who has an Animal Crossing podcast.

all of squeenix games are bombing, i have no idea how they stay afloat

because not all of them are bombing perhaps

I get that people are worried about consolidation, however; we are getting ready to be in a depression/recession... it's not just the precious gaming industry getting hit and this recent sale isn't "that" bad all things considered. I don't think Embracer (THQ Nordic) is going to do anything malicious to their acquisitions. They aren't the worst of the worst.

This. Every time I see footage of the game it’s aggressively mediocre and boring looking. Fancy particle effects aren’t enough the game looks abysmal to play

FFXIV, gacha and a little bit of Dragon Quest.

They also publish general manga, I believe.

The girl is cute actually, its just her design is trash
>literally almost wearing a burka
>black bell
>black shirt
>black pants
It's visually boring and even hard to watch

Waiting for SE to add fanservice again. No buy until then. This trash should bomb with all westernized trash that were sold.

Jack is based

Being just shades of black and brown are colourful apparently.

>her

>girl

I don’t think you’re using that meme right

this is the game that will make se drop western shit once and for all after it flopped.

No, that's some racially ambiguous mystery meat creature.
Dump it into the USA so the Russians nuke all the mutts together.

>The other armors are just varying colors and types of burka

foolish, foolish developers

Based. I only play games with characters that look like they were designed in Japan.

isekai only means "another world". not every isekai is based off of a video game, let alone one the main character is familiar with. not every isekai is an otaku power fantasy (although, most are, lol). you have absolutely zero argument because you dont even understand the base definition properly.

Maybe the fallout will also put other Japanese devs on better alert for the cultural imperialists constantly trying to worm their way into and compromise Japanese entertainment.

>forced diversity character
No thanks

It's made by the people behind FFXV, the game where the whole party was dressed in black.

I would preorder but I’m not supporting games with American protagonists

The designers are so terrifying of women showing skin they even cover their fucking collarbone
I bet pic related is wearing like a slut for them even though she is wearing pretty normal clothes

The game isn't isekai, it's pure shit trying to pander towards black people that don't play their games.

Needs to wear a black scarf

FFXV designs were fucking great though. Black can be stylish but not this.

This has to be the ugliest fucking character Square's ever made, holy shit.

TOO LEWD, SHUT IT DOWN

Those characters are white and I can buy them being elegant plus the original one was supposed to be dark Yakuza shit.

This one is a black character wearing black clothes. I have never seen a girl wearing that sad

SHIIIIIET

Post girlfriend

>made

I also skipped Arise because it was the first modern Tales game without a child party member.

There was no excuse for Rinwell not to be a loli.

What, you don't like the "racially ambiguous zoomer Shinaqua Washington" look?

Literally a tranny

Did they try to copy capcom with goblin faces? Fucking mutts like it.

shit enix has been retarded for more than a decade

Not him but I agree that that she's very ugly.
This is my wife btw

His hair looks like a solid wig was just placed on his bald head.

You're not contradicting that the OP is saying.

When the presenter says "The Isekai genre is very popular in Japan", the implication is that the concept of being transported to "another world" is what is popular, while in reality it's the shallow self-insert power fantasy.
It's why Overlord, Rising of the Shield Hero, So I'm a Spider so What, or That Time I Reincarnated as a Slime, etc... all feel like they have the EXACT SAME world with the same RPG power system

It by definition is an isekai just because you hate black people doesn't change that.

It looks like she's wearing a wig too big for her.

If it was just one of them dressed like that it would have been fine but all together it was too much, they really did look like a fucking boy band.

That's all part of it though, they're not some disparate party picked up along the way, they're 4 friends who grew up in the same city so of course they dress the same.
Anyway, they can change clothes.

Most Tales of never had a child in the party until extended versions

No one want to self-insert to a black woman. It isn't isekai.

Not him but it IS a isekai, only that not even black women care about black women characters. Have you seen anyone talking about this character?

*Modern

It has, over time, become a staple of the series and getting rid of it now, for this particular entry, at this particular point in time can be nothing short of westoid pandering.

Thats a paki.
Also i dont know what country you live in but in mine men cant look like that, we are wide and broad

Nobody cares what you want to self-insert as its still an isekai end of story.

It's isekai but the main character sucks. She should have been a nun isekai'd, at least that would be hilarious and original for the character to be that covered.
It's more unrealistic to see a black young girl wearing the most boring clothes ever compared to a fantasy world. She feels unrealistic
