I caught two minutes on a random stream and almost died.

One of the things I love-hate (but hate more than love) about Japanese game design, it elevates convention (animated loading screens) to tradition (loading screen not technically necessary, but loading screen animation is tradition now) way too easily. It's the main reason why JRPGs are grindfests.

I love that the video ends on a "BGE2 still alive tho" note, which has been the one (1) thing in the hands of Ubisoft I've cared for at all in the last five years now.

Oh, and, the second game has online coop, too.

Admittedly: I, too, mostly appreciate cherries as jam on bread.
