Re: Soapbox: Fire Emblem Engage's Nintendo NYC Launch Felt Pretty Unengaging

I don’t really like it so far. Very vanilla. Dialogs are definitely not engaging, it’s feels hollow at times. Art is stellar. The map exploration after battle is a very special experience. It’s like starring at the empty space of eternal sorrow with a randomly placed toothpaste people, cats, trees and birds in it. The best part of the game in my humble o.

Nan. It is simply because it is incredibly stylish, street stylish, high street stylish, try Harajuku, try Sendagaya. It’s fashion, it’s original and authentic it goes from its visuals to the music. It has a place and a feeling. It is not like any other online competitor, not even close.

I do love my emerald but this list is a trash. Also, I really don’t get the hate towards switch Diamond Pearl remakes. Great nostalgia games; extremely polished and cute.

@Ryu_Niiyama speaking of “conflict”: I’m not talking about NL, but the reactions in comment feeds on NL website. I will not question the professionalism of HT in light of her actions in order to defend her right to the decent, ethical and fair salary. I find highly misleading your speculations on a woman putting million worth company in a difficult ethical position, since the company’s greed and manifest lack of ethics are the very reason we are discussing this today. To quote you this is absolutely not how you handle you contractual obligations, negotiations and payment. The socioeconomic gender inequality manifest not only in a wage gap but also on a way those issues are treated an perceived in a public eye. I believe those issues are social, real and tangible; emotions aside.

@Ryu_Niiyama there are ways to present the information having ongoing discussion on underpaid voice actress in a video game industry. And choices are being clearly made. I do not call it drama personally, it is a real issue though. The very fact that this situation was finally escalated and presented as a conflict between two women is quite exemplary of misogyny we are still facing today. As a writer I would be xtra cautious choosing my words, as it is not the case hereinabove

@pip_muzz how’s your head ? Gender equality you say ? A woman taking a public stance on underpayment in boys-club-video-game-industry would be silenced and called a gold digger. Her professionalism would be scrutinized and discredited by hundreds of delusional fan boys who would rather forget about the constant economic gender inequality then accept the very idea of cancelling the preorder of their new toy. We heard their opinions, sadly enough… I do not appreciate the fact that this review uses this issue as a clickbait and I do find it particularly cynical that it comes from a man.
