Square Enix is really doing an NFT game. They released a trailer for it recently. Surprise, everyone hates it. They disabled the dislike button on the trailer, because that's a sign of absolute confidence in your product. It's got decent music, which is a bad thing in this case since that means people with actual talent are being wasted on it.

The game is called Symbiogenesis, which initially got people excited because they thought it was related to an old PS1 hit of theirs, Parasite Eve. But nope, it's the complete opposite of what anyone, PE fan or not, would want.

It's going to have 10,000 characters with unique appearances, but they're basically just 2D male and female human templates with randomly generated hair and clothes. Some characters wear hats and clearly have their original hair sticking out from under it. Like, imagine if you took a picture of Sora from Kingdom Hearts and photoshopped a baseball hat on top of where his scalp would be without bothering to edit out the hair it would cover up.

I haven't seen a game company do something this monumentally stupid since Konami went crazy, fired Kojima, delisted PT, and cancelled Silent Hills. But while Konami was malicious and greedy, Square is being just plain stupid. I'm so glad they sold off a bunch of their IP and studios to Embracer, because nothing good would have come from keeping them.
