As usual tho, the community has better ideas than the company

At least some part of ffxiv’s playerbase would be interested as well. Many of them are both KH and MMO fans. My husband and I based our cat people on Kairi and Sora, and players are constantly pogging over it lol

People have actually wanted a KH mmo for a bit

Fr It should have been that from the start

California is just the free trial of Australia

Clearly I’m sending a snake and a deadly spider to your location Anyway Ngl I hope they try a similar idea to Missing Link in the future, but for a console spin-off Customizable keyblade weilder Join factions Those aspects were actually good concepts

It’s a shame I never got to try it I applied for the australian beta test but didn’t get in

I just don’t see how it would have succeeded at a larger scale

And outdated ideas

This wasn’t going to do that with it’s odd premise

You need something compelling to go against gooner appeal If your gacha game isn’t waifu bait, it needs to actually be interesting and appealing in other ways, appeal to kids women etc

Lmao Truly I was going to mention that

Fr Like just make a ffxiv type game for KH

Like they just cannot let go of their vision until they are forced to sacrifice something

I wish Japanese devs weren’t stubborn to the point it’s a detriment. Yeah good things can come out of it, but at a cost. It reminds me of how stubborn the Zelda team was about the arm abilities that things like the story and worldbuilding suffered as a result

Let alone trying to get that to appeal to newcomers True

Probably one of the higher ups who is thinking ten years behind and you can’t go against the boss so they tried their hardest It really was a poor idea though Not even existing fans wanted that feature

I imagine the Missing Link team was trying to get things like the gps gameplay to work this whole time and it simply wasn’t all coming together, taking too long to develop, and the plug had to be pulled

For sure It’s the people at square making it difficult Disney would probably be happy with anything that makes money

💯 lmao Classic out of touch oji sans refusing to accept their idea is just bad

Yeah I honestly think this was part of it It was chasing a 2015 era mobile game trend Before botw came out which caused the domino effect of genshin the gacha botw clone Like we now have this just announced today as well This is even using the same time period inspirations as missing link but with the trends that are popular now Genshin-like characters Missing Link was not going to be able to compete at all The higher ups should have realised that sooner instead of dragging it out, but from what I know of JP corporate culture, they were probably being stubborn old men about it until they were forced to accept it was a waste of money and time
