   I think it’s rather interesting how there are these two attitudes by customers regarding media. The topic in question was Guilty Gear (Strive, with the new character announcements at EVO). Person A voiced skepticism: Dizzy was safehorny’d and the IP is directionless with seemingly random or shoehorned picks. Person B was more open to the additions, stating that the theme of GG:S was “change and acceptance of who you are,” so “we will see”.

   I sided more with person A. Over the past years I really shifted my attitude regarding “respect for IPs.” Sometimes you respect the creator, sometimes the fans are the true owners of the IP. Not all change is good, but how do we know if the change is good? I’m sure you can think of some examples I don’t know about (Fire Emblem comes to mind).

   Well, this is just an observation. I don’t play GG:S but I have heard it is inferior to other titles in terms of technical gameplay and story. My opinions on GG are uninformed at best.

     @rainignterror1080p Yeah. Unfortunately, because I’m an outsider to GG, Bridget is the main thing I’m aware of because of how much noise it made. I’m not a traditional fighting game player (I’ve only played platform fighters), I’m a strategy/rts/FPS guy. So, I cannot fully judge the differences between Strive and former entries. Though, listening to The Electric Underground, he too identified a watering down of GG from a technical standpoint, and I guess the… capitulation from Daisuke just followed.

     Old guilty gear would have had the balls to give us what we really wanted.
     
     Also yeah. Guilty gears lost all sense of direction and the only reason I play strive is that my friend does. It's an all around step down from xrd. The ost is fine with some bangers mixed in and the redesigns range from competent at best to just extraordinarily bland.
     Blazblue if it's lucky will stay dead with the end of Ragnas arc because if it survives its getting its edges sanded off like GG has.
     
     Remember guys. They did this to appeal to evo normies. The fgc took this shit from you. Never forget that they sold you up a river for a bunch of child grooming faggots.

     @rainignterror1080p @Cayhr yeah that actually entirely ruined Bridget as a character to an irredeemable level. Like basically tossed out years of character development just go "lol actually I am girl teehee"

     @Cayhr yep. At this point if BlazBlue doesn't stay dead I can only imagine the butchering that series is going to receive. Used to look forward to continuations of my favorite series. Now I whole heartfelt dread them. :gun_think:

     @rainignterror1080p I wonder how different GG would be if Bridget had two appearances: pre-ending (femboy), post-ending (young, handsome man).

     @Cayhr @rainignterror1080p strive would have been the time to give Bridget a redesign more resembling a boy if they really wanted to use this game to shake things up. Instead the did a 180 and just obliterated years of character development.

     @Minty @Cayhr @rainignterror1080p Only because they're really pushing the bad ending. The true ending to his Strive arcade is genuinely so good of a closure to his arc that it's a shame he's had it taken from him.
