Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.

If I asked for an RPG with really rewarding exploration, like a huge world chalk full of places to go and stuff to find in those places, but then said it couldn’t be:
1. On the Switch, Wii or Wii U
2. A Bethesda game
3. A Witcher game
4. A Souls game (Bloodborn counts)
5. A DnD based game
6. RTwP
7. Amalur
8. Dragons Dogma

... would there be anything left? I’m excluding all these things because I’ve played them all or don’t want to play them or they are too much trouble to play.

Ultima 6 or 7 or 7.2, I'm assuming you own Skyrim, so maybe the Enderal mod for it or its Oblivion prequel Nehrim, the Gothic series.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

When the heck is Code Vein coming out? Having to wait for years and years for games to come out is one of the reasons I stopped following "gaming news," but I swear that game has looked like it was coming out pretty soon since like 2016

Nobody knows. There was a beta thing a few weeks ago that I've heard good things about so it's not vaporware.

personally i think tales becoming an open world rpg with tons of complicated mechanics would be the dullest possible direction for a series that i like best when it's, not that

not to say that's definitely what arise is because, well, there are no real solid details on it

i don't think, any serious drama happened, based on the fact that she's tweeted in the past about meeting with individual people from the company on pretty good terms.

i think xseed might just. have really lovely company policies on certain things.

Even Zestiria wasn't attempting a total departure from series conventions, so I think it's fine if they're just going for a more open and explorable world as long as they've had the time, resources, and management to actually put thought into and execute such a thing. Berseria backpedaled on Zesty's issues as much as it could given the circumstances, so I doubt they'd swing right back into them.

What if they make a tales of cyberpunk protagonist running around hacking computers and fighting in outlawed nightclubs on different futuristic planets. Although then they'd have to call it star ocean 6.

Restrictive credits policies are the weirdest thing. There's no practical justification for them, it's not like you have to pay extra to include someone's name. And it's not like anti-headhunting poo poo from the 80s since everyone has a linkedin and a portfolio. It's literally a vindictive move, there can't be any other justification.

Yeah it reads to me as either vindictive after some sort of internal dispute or "we don't want our company name associated with this person" like she's been per-emptively cancelled or something

I don't know the specifics about it, but them having a weird credit policy isn't new. Their credit policy came up before during the Akiba's Beat debacle when one of the translators wanted their name removed from it.
