Yeah, I guess this is something I do nowWhen we last left Forspoken, the jury was still out on it (https://www.destructoid.com/square-enix-forspoken-preview-still-gorgeous-but-worried-about-narrative/), and it was delayed into 2023 (https://www.destructoid.com/forspoken-delayed-january-2023-square-enix-luminous-productions/). I'm cautiously optimistic for some parts of it. But now it's time for Forspoken's quippy dialogue to really face the music.
A lot of prospective fans have been waffling on the dialogue since it was announced, which can definitely teeter into the realm of overly-edgy. A new tweet this week from Square Enix (https://twitter.com/Forspoken/status/1556679378892898306), which showcased some gameplay and reminded us of the January 2023 release date, didn't instill much confidence that things have improved.
Alright, so here's the tweet:
https://twitter.com/Forspoken/status/1556679378892898306
"So let me get this straight"
"I'm seeing freaking dragons"
"And oh yeah I'm talking to a cuff"
"Yeah OK that is something I do now!"
It's essentially a 2022 version of "record scratch: so you're probably wonder how I got myself into this situation," right? While the narrative can still deliver, I'm not sure I can stand to listen to the constant quips. And this is before the game is out!
Various content creators have taken to roasting the promo, including the following choice videos:

At what point do people slide down the volume on Forspoken's quippy dialogue? I guess we'll find out on January 24, 2023.
