Because it's not a response. It's just a public statement. They knew about the game the whole time. I think that's how it should be. If it's a game in a series and the original creator isn't involved. Call it a spinoff and don't mess with what the creator created. Gets you situations like Ys IV Memories of Celceta and Ys 4 the original release
I'm really excited for this!
No likey
I wish he was involved, but I’m still excited to see a new Valkyrie game.
Message published by Square Enix...so he can't really say he didn't like it.
He does distance the game from the originals by calling it a spin off though...
Every VP game so far has been excellent. Even the DS game which still blows my mind.
