This week in the comments
The week was dominated by one thing: the AI-generated 'Wanna be in LOVE' music video, which drove a spike in comments far above the norm. Tone skews critical of the AI execution itself, though a vocal minority defends the studio or shrugs the whole debate off.
The AI music video unites commenters — against it
Roughly 55% of this week's comments target the video's uncanny visual quality: shifting faces between shots, a microphone clipping through an arm, animation seen as sloppy for a studio of this caliber.
Japanese lyrics over Korean lyrics irk part of the Korean fanbase
A subset of Korean comments (~5% of the sample) voices strong disappointment, even anger, that the studio's first music video is sung in Japanese rather than Korean, framing it as a lack of national pride.
'Won't change my purchase,' say the unbothered
About 15% of this week's comments say the AI controversy carries zero weight on their purchase decision, dismissing it as noise next to the final game's quality.
A minority accuses the studio of calculated marketing
Several comments (including a heavily liked one at 73 hearts) suspect the controversy is deliberately stoked, noting the video became the channel's most-viewed despite — or because of — the backlash.
A few game-related asides get largely drowned out
Recurring requests (physical edition, Switch 2 port) surface faintly but stay marginal (under 3% of comments), buried under the AI topic.
Top reactions and controversies
Character age debate splits the community hard
ControversyA massive back-and-forth pits those calling Evie's design too young/problematic against a majority who see it as ignorance of East Asian features or bad-faith projection by accusers.
'We are so back': raw excitement for the studio's return
Dominant takeSince the June announcement, a large share of comments express pure excitement for the trailer, the music and the combat style, often summed up by phrases like 'we are so back'.
Generative AI use splits opinion deeply
ControversyBeyond this week's video, the studio's use of AI (music, visuals) recurs throughout the corpus as a divisive topic between total rejection and pragmatic relativism ('if the game's good, who cares').
Growing distrust of gaming press
Dominant takePersistent hostility targets 'journalists' and media accused of manipulating the game's controversy, contrasted with a fanbase seen as more honest, 'voting with their wallets'.
Independence from Sony hailed as a liberation
Dominant takeThe studio now self-publishing, free of Sony, comes up constantly as a source of satisfaction, seen as a guarantee of creative freedom and a mark of commercial success.
