@Jens_Rasmussen @LittleTom Yeah, I believe so.

Here's what I'm thinking:
This kind of light purple/magenta colors, also known as "bisexual lighting", is a choice that's common to designers of a certain culture (or mindset / orientation / demographic, whatever).
The title image is decided on by the lead designer, and this indicates to an extent the culture of the rest of the development team.

It's not a 100% guaranteed, but it's a good indicator:

Bisexual lighting ↓
probably progressive lead designer ↓
likely progressive team ↓
progressive values, writing, and talent hiring policy ↓
failed project.

This chain can be broken at any point, where you can have competent developers and gay designers, but it's usually not the case.

@Jens_Rasmussen @LittleTom WotR wasn't too bad, but it was very gay.
I think purple games tend to be gay, and gay games tend to be failures.

So it's a case of looking at A→C and missing the A→B→C.
Still, it's a fairly good model, decent predictive capability.

oh yeah, it looks like falcom is bringing the dragon slayer franchise back. i hope we get some lore that's sorely lacking.
