Hype-chan is revealed as a teaser.
People demand a sequel for years. Crickets.

Most people seem to enjoy the game.
I excitedly pre-order.
But I have aged out of the target audience.
Localization talks about pogs or something and I put it down after the first hour or so.
Minamimoto was cool tho
He's Tumblr sexyman material and he likes math. And he talks like this all the time.
I lived this shit. This is how Square Enix operates. It is time to remember.
