>Everyone keeps blaming Platinum for the lack of Ryu when the previous two NG games tried to shill a new protag too, and 3 tried to reinvent Ryu
There's clearly some senile KT exec who's absolutely convinced the problem with the series is Ryu so thats why he keeps pushing for him to be changed or replaced. The fact that PG correctly realized that Ryu had to be playable in NG4 in some capacity shows somebody at least knew what they were doing. 9/10 times when a japanese game does something stupid its because of some retarded out of touch boomer who's not even on the dev team.
