Tfw Ever Oasis looks great but you know its going to be DOA at launch

I've learnt time and time again that the mainstream majority cannot deal with fantasy that isn't western. If its chinese/generic oriental themed you get the 'i'm not racist, but-' crowd talking about how games have no place being anything but "skyrim style worlds" which is bad enough and then you have the far rarer Arabian Nights style that a few games like Fable 3 tried and were met with total outrage and butthurt over.

Maybe its because growing up in the 1990's meant you got cool shit like Aladdin and pre pozzed D&D but i have no problem with an arabian themed rpg, god knows elements of certain final fantasy and secrets of mana games had it in them. And now we have some of the secrets of mana and final fantasy teams making an action rpg townbuilder on 3ds and while it looks great and probably is going to be a solid 7/10 game i have a certain expectation the "muh sandniggers" mainstream reaction means its going to be a bomb.

What do you expect?

I expect yet another case of distinguished developer from 20 years ago makes a thoroughly mediocre game. However, I am ready to be pleasantly surprised.
I'm not concerned so much with the setting, so much as the game just being bland.

It is going to be DOA at launch because no one knows this game actually exists. I have not seen any mention since it got announced and any discussion for it is non-existent.

don't care even slightly

We live in an age where you dont go 'oh hey whats this, lets pick it up and try it' where game store shelves are a gamble in a sea of unkown ips.

Now it all rides on an existing name or a developer whos payed a screamer streamer meme queen to tell their targets to 'get hype' about a release. The days of picking up a blind new ip are gone for most.

It's a classic mistake of making a great new IP for a dead console. If this launched on Switch as a new IP it would be fucking stellar, but since it's a new IP on a dying system it will be ignored and forgotten. Which is a fucking shame because it looks great, chibi/moe shit aside.

I suspect that I will pirate it, play it for an hour and never think of it again.

It looks stupid and it's on a Nintendo Handheld so I expect bad things. I don't fucking care in the slightest because as said chibi is for kids.

More like the 3DS isn't strong enough to make any other art style look good.

Should have released it on PC. I couldn't care less.
