So, here's a thing I'm involved in. Possibly the only one who'll be really interested is salarta for... various reasons, but the rest of you should watch too.

People actually playing that crap is all kinds of eww. The only plus to the situation is seeing a lot of people saying that it's a terrible game, but then Square-Enix probably just sees all the people buying and playing it and thinks "yes, this was the perfect direction for the character, let's make a more insulting sequel that forces 3rd Birthday into canon for that universe, they'll eat it up."

I just thought you'd enjoy seeing a bunch of people putting the boot in to the game. There's not a single person in the thread who has stepped up to defend the game past the OST (which, admittedly, is pretty good).

That's true, my initial impression may have misled my thoughts on the thread a little. Seeing a "Let's Play" planned out combined with the person who made it trying to forgive the horrible misuse of Aya's name and face in advance by essentially saying "don't worry, there's a reason she acts so different" rubbed me very very wrong.

Also several people saying they're enjoying the game added to my reaction. Like Flameingblack for instance.

I read a bit further and see pleasantly that more people are realizing how horrible this game is. It also led me to looking at GameFAQs' Reviews section again, where I see the three lowest scores and ones most critical of the game's awful direction are the ones that have stars next to them. Though I still very much dread that Square-Enix will be stupid as always, pretend they made a work of genius and either never fix this mess, or force it into being canon.

Also I figured out who you are there after you mentioned me without explicitly using my name. :)
