When are we expecting news?

[2 quid is good]

Right? The whole point of gacha games is the profit margin on them, why invest so much time and money on a product that really doesn't seem like it's gonna do the numbers they want. Unless I'm wrong and ML has actually not had a long, troubled and expensive development.

 

[Squood!]

We'd know if they would just say something.

 

[Sonofjafar]

Let’s hope Missing Link is not getting the Nuts and Bolts treatment (aka getting the whole game revamped into something completely different than advertised without any indication of such in the advertising). I could just see it now. Instead of Missing Link, we’re greeting with Kigndom Hearts Dating Simulator and when you turn on the game Tetsuya Nomura’s ghost comes out and says “ah fuck it. Who even likes Kingdom Hearts, am I right? BRB making Final Fantasy 7 Modern Warfare!”

 

[HakaishinChampa]

A KH dating sim would be cool though

Playing as Roxas and having to choose between Xion, Olette and other characters

I've heard it before but a Roxas persona type game where you go to school and fight heartless by summoning nobodies would be neat

 

[Darkspawn]

Not sure what you guys are on about. I’m having a great time with Missing Link. Playing as Zelda is such a refreshing change for the series.

I am shocked nobody got the reference I made to Jontron’s review of Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts. Also Echoes of Wisdom is not on the same level of changes to the formula as Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts

Please don’t make me explain the joke.

As the clown prince of crime once said, “If you have to explain a joke, there is no joke”.
But hey, nice to know you’re enjoying your time with it, Darkspawn

Ah yes, but we’re expected to get a reference to some random person’s review of a 15 year old game.

Yeah I think we should hear something at least by the end of this month one way or another. Not putting it past SE to blow us off until the absolutely last minute, but it will have been a year since the last trailer. They also have nearly a full month until their next release and all their other 2024 games just got extensive coverage at TGS. So there’s little reason at this point to not give an update unless they just want to hide the fact of a delay as long as possible.

 

[KudoTsurugi]

Fair point. If they aren’t showing anything KH-related at TGS this year, there’s only 2 opportunities left: either during a Square-Enix Presents stream(which we have no idea at present when that’ll drop) and a trailer during the Game Awards. And considering the latter, folks would probably be expecting KH4 over Missing Link if they were going to have a trailer there, if not something Dragon Quest was or Final Fantasy related or some new IP.

 

[Darkspawn]

Cynical claims he’s heard info about stuff going behind the scenes with the series including a project that’s been talked about before and that it is real. If legit, he’s probably talking about the tv/film adaption.

 

[MATGSY]

"They'll totally reveal Switch 2 THIS week!"

 

[Darkspawn]

"They'll totally reveal Switch 2 THIS week!"

I could see it being this month sometime now that EoW is out. Maybe the week of 10/20 since that’s when the original Switch was unveiled back in 2016. It’s a bit unusual that they did an August partner showcase rather than a September Direct, so it’s speculated they wanted to space that out from the console reveal.

I also don’t know how much longer the third parties are going to wait to start marketing their launch titles for it. I have a feeling that’s why we haven’t seen FFIX Remake yet. Potentially DQXII as well.

Astro Bot head says "it's difficult to comment on" why Final Fantasy 7's Cloud didn't make a cameo

Square Enix had no representation in the platformer referencing PlayStation's entire history

Kinda sounds like Team Asobi reached out to Square Enix about a cameo(s) and was declined. Bizarre behavior from SE.

Square on a whole ass Magic The Gathering set: sure, we greenlight all of it.
Square on a single cosplaying bot: you can GTFO out of our office, pronto!

It’s so weird, especially considering the Buster Sword in Playroom and the Cloud Sackboy costume. Which maybe the Buster Sword was already a sign they didn’t want their actual character likenesses involved in Astro. But it’s just a bizarre choice regardless.

Meanwhile you have 2B in Stellar Blade and Rindo/Shoka in damn Reynatis…

The former is cuz Yoko Taro was handed a fat stack of cash probably.

 

[Chaser]

Hey Kingdomers, it’s October now and I think we need to change our approach.

I think we scared Missing-Link off, what with our concern over location data being sold, gambling mechanics being included in the game, and everything else that’s looked like a problem.

I’m putting forth positive thinking and vibes to try and coax it out of hiding. We miss you, Missing-Link! Please come back to us!

Spoiler Show

Okay this whole post was just a way for me to test calling y’all Kingdomers
