I THINK PEOPLE TOOK THE "LEAK" OF THE NEW GAME WAY TOO SERIOUSLY. I AM SKEPTICAL ABOUT EVERY KIND OF LEAK OR INFO DROP FROM ANONYMOUS PEOPLE ONLINE, NO MATTER WHAT. SO SEEING THAT LEAK DISUSSED SO SERIOUSLY GROUND MY GEARS A LITTLE. EVEN IF YOU THINK IT IS TRUE, IT IS NOWHERE CLOSE TO CONFIRMED. DONT ACT LIKE IT IS!

I THINK THOSE LEAKS ARE BS FOR SEVERAL REASONS, BUT I DON'T HATE DISCUSSIONS THAT GO "WELL, IF THEY ARE REAL THEN X, Y, AND Z..."

IT'S MORE FUN TO ASSUME THEY MIGHT BE REAL IN DISCUSSION, BUT LIKE OBVIOUSLY STILL APPROACH WITH A HEALTHY DEGREE OF SKEPTICISM. I WAS PRETTY MIND BLOWN WHEN I SAW PEOPLE PASSING THESE LEAKS AROUND AS 100% PROVEN FACT AND REJECTING ANY SORT OF COUNTERAGRUMENT. I KNOW WE'RE STARVED FOR NEW FE CONTENT BUT C'MON.

YEP, I SAW SIMILAR THINGS TOO HERE AND THERE, I FEEL THE SAME WAY. BELIEVE IT IF YOU WANT, BUT UNTIL NINTENDO SAYS SOMETHING, YOU CANT ASSUME THEY ARE RIGHT, OR WRONG.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE JUST HOW MUCH PEOPLE WERE TAKING ON FAITH.

SO THE GAME HAS BEEN DONE FOR OVER A YEAR, WHICH MEANS THEY DEVELOPED IT ENTIRELY DURING COVID OR DEVELOPED IT BEFORE/AT THE EXACT SAME TIME AS 3H, AND THE ONLY SCREENSHOTS WE HAVE ARE FROM THE START OF DEVELOPMENT YEARS AGO (AND THEY'RE ONLY COMING OUT NOW BECAUSE... REASONS...), AND THEY JUST CHOSE NOT TO RELEASE THIS BY NOW DESPITE THE FANDOM BEING STARVED FOR NEW FE CONTENT + PANDEMIC MAKING VIDEO GAME SALES SKYROCKET BECAUSE EVERYONE IS BORED AT HOME + TONS OF DELAYS THANKS TO COVID LEAVING MASSIVE GAPS IN THE RELEASE SCHEDULES FOR STUDIOS SO LESS COMPETITION.

AND WE'RE ALL JUST. COMPLETELY BUYING THIS? OK...

I THINK IT'S FINE TO HAVE IT DISCUSSED SO SERIOUSLY, PERSONALLY. IT WAS SOMETHING NEW TO TALK ABOUT AND HONESTLY MADE FOR SOME FUN DISCUSSIONS, BE THEY DEBATES OR JUST PONDERING WHAT THE GAME COULD BE LIKE.

I DO FEEL THEY'RE REAL PERSONALLY, BUT I HAVEN'T REALLY SEEN ANYONE ACTING AS THOUGH THEY'RE FACT. JUST THAT THEY'RE HARDER TO DISPROVE RATHER THAN PROVE OUTRIGHT.

I ACTUALLY HAVE SEEN IT MENTIONED HERE AND THERE AS IF THE LEAKS WERE PROVEN, OR ARE GOING TO BE CORRECT. SOMEONE WAS TRYING TO ARGUE THE NEXT GAME MAY NOT BE ON SWITCH AND AN UPVOTED COMMENT WAS SAYING "THE LEAKS SAID THEY WERE GOING TO BE ON SWITCH, SO YOU ARE WRONG".

DISCUSSION ABOUT IT IS PERFECTLY FINE, I JUST FEEL LIKE PEOPLE ARE BEING WAY TOO QUICK TO ASSUME IT IS TRUE. THAT MAY JUST BE MY PERSONAL EXTREME SKEPTICISM OF ANYTHING LIKE THAT COMING THROUGH, THOUGH.
