Looks like the worst of modern Final Fantasy combined with woke American writing.
"4 Minute Exploration Demo"The game's biggest crime is how boring it looks. I've given up on these open world action games post Middle-Earth: Shadow of Modor.
You like jumping to conclusions so much.. why don't fill in the blanks yourself. There are enough of people here getting into why it comes of as woke.Ahh you edited your post.
So what exactly about this game is "woke"?
Time to step away from posting for while if you can't keep track of a reply from a few minutes ago?Wait why are you quoting me?

I'll say this, if there's one thing I've learned about the modern SquareENIX, it's their pandering for flair over substance. I can emphasize with their budgets bloating, but they're not prioritizing on the right things.

I can't believe how boring this game looks!
Had to look up what an isekai is.. Not my cup of tea - could work for me if it meshes and works well with plot and gameplay.I had the same impression. Honestly I lost pretty much all the interest after it was revealed as an isekai.
If the reviews are good I may pick it up on sale.
It was mostly 30 when running around and then about 25 in combat.15 fps?
This, it's the only thing I didn't like in this demo. The combat looks goodWhy do some devs feel the need for their character to constantly throw out one-liners during fight scenes?
Black female character protagonist in a fantasy game = woke. Anybody remember the days when woke used to mean staying alert and open minded to recognize bs that obfuscates the truth?This will be SquareEnix's token hot air, smoke and mirrors, bait and switch woke game. All style no substance.
Oh, hey look.. More people jumping to conclusions and building a strawman to win on the internet. I'll say it again.Black female character protagonist in a fantasy game = woke. Anybody remember the days when woke used to mean staying alert and open minded to recognize bs that obfuscates the truth?
Can’t wait to play as a fierce womxn spouting off sassy one liners.

Square has had good, black protagonist and female protagonist - both before. What makes you figure I have an issue with either? Edit: or both.
Oh, right, presuming based on knowing nothing about me and substituting with your own prior experience.
Oh, I'll definetly lach on to that Forspoken is looking (and sounding) like bs that obfuscates the truth about the fact that this game targets an audience that only exist in social media and corporate social justice campaigns.
Nah, I rather prefer leaving you hanging, triggered.You still havent explained what the woke aspects of this game are and keep deflecting whenever anyone asks you to point them out.
It seems like they're trying to pull it back and un-release it as quickly as possible. Wonder if it's because it was a mistake or that the negative feedback was overwhelming.I am impressed they actually released this footage, since it looks like shit in every way. Literally every way. Unlikeable protagonist, ugly graphics and aesthetics, ugly interface, low framerate, lame design.

This was one of my top 5 games I was looking forward to in 2022. But I didn't know it was open world. MEH! God I hate that every game wants to do open world now.
This looks like what otherwise would've been a Square-Enix launch title on a previous gen that is quickly forgotten when the real games show up later in the generation.
That should have been obvious when it was revealed
I also hate this trend. Most designers don't know how to make a compelling open world game, and generally they end up being a big hub of very repetitive mission structures. I wish more linear games came back to be a trend... I rather play a shorter game that respects my play time than a longer one full of crap to keep me busy.This was one of my top 5 games I was looking forward to in 2022.

This demo is a good indicative this will be the bad type of open world game btw. The player selected a chest on the map, travaled there on foot dashing all the way through, killed a bunch of damage spongey zombie like enemies and then get what apparently was a healing item. Yay, sooo fun...

Since I'm having such a kick out of you singling me out, why don't you explain how I'm deflecting, when from my point of view I'm only pointing out your fallacies.

Oh, pleeease..! Build strawman more.
The FF series is full of female protagonist, that has never been an issue with their games. Neither has it been an issue with British accents.

The camera positioning is horrible, big open world with nothing to do because you're supposed to be running quickly through it.
Combat is awful.
The animations are fucking basic, especially on enemies.
It actually makes Assassin's Creed games look GOOD.
God fucking dammit. Lesson learned. Next time I'll use 'social justice pandering'. Btw dogwhistle implies intent. Don't know whether or not you were implying or even referring to me at all. Let me be an example of when people are only being a knob about wording things. It's fucking dangerous to try to communicate anything on the internet, let alone the x amount of characters before anyone gives you a chance to correct your mistake, or even push you out of their ecco chamber.Jesus Christ I wish we could go back to the days of the bolded. Now it's just a dog whistle for people to say things about "certain people" in entertainment without looking obviously racist and sexist.
I get that nowadays it is dangerous to be misinterpreted. But what people wanted from you was clarification as to why you believe the game is "woke". I particularly don't understand this either.God fucking dammit. Lesson learned. Next time I'll use 'social justice pandering'. Btw dogwhistle implies intent.

Not that there's anything wrong with forspoken character being black OR female (or lgbtq).
FF7R executed "topics" brilliantly and tastefully, if they'd wanted to out Cloud as one agreeable to cross dressing, or Andrea René as lgbtq, I'd be a 100 percent on board for that, knowing how they executed the rest of the game.
But misrepresent me PixelatedBeast and then ask me to endulge my meaning afterward Black_Stride ? F off.
Edit: thebigmanjosh the two replies figuring I'm either sexist or racist (against British, wtf?) from my first reply referring to forspoken as woke..? Yeah, I don't find them being credible. So by your judgment I'm either a troll, ignorant or dumb/illiterate. Whatever. I'm out.
