Let’s Kill the Confusion
Some companies love to interact directly with fans, and that’s definitely commendable. But sometimes that means things don’t always sound good. These devs have great ideas that aren’t easily explained so when they say certain things everyone gets scared. Take the whole Final Fantasy VII Remake situation for instance. Just the words “multi-part release” had everyone worried that it was being reduced to episodes.
The transparency is definitely appreciated, but when the message is confusing and doesn’t relay the true vision, it causes problems. It’s amazing how just one misunderstood statement could leave a company scrambling for an explanation even when said company is working on a game that has been on wish lists for ages. Let’s just prevent this from happening again by fully planning out what’s going to be said and having all the ducks in a row first.
