This may not be a good thing. They say the best stories come out when the author comes up with an ending from the very beginning and writes the plot in the opposite direction.
Some may have said this in the past, and I may or may not have agreed with them at any other point in time but now.
The fact that Gege allegedly had planned the garbage ending of Jujutsu Kaisen a long time ago has soured me of the concept, at least for 10 more years.
Well, yeah, it is what it is now, and it’s not like he did it on purpose. He probably didn’t know about the upcoming issues with RPGM, especially since SAO is so much bigger than his previous games. Still, he gained valuable experience, and next time, he can plan better
The question would be if that experience will be put to good use in the future, or if it will produce something that we as fans wouldn't want to see.
SAO was definitely the best product that Fujino has ever developed, even if Sakura's chapter might have been the one with best designs and eroticism, or if CSM's Bizarre Onsen Adventures was technically the most Canon compliant in terms of characterization.
So, at the end of the day, despite the flaws and complaints that we always throw at Fujino, we still want his future games to look more like his venture into big, long, and thick (as the fatso Inoda) games instead of his short, quick, and thin (Like Suguha's favorite funstick.)
Yet, perhaps due to the many complications and setbacks, there is a possibility that he will regress to make insta corruption games like his earliest projects.
In my opinion, Fujino should structure his future long games in an episodic format that would allow his games to be a maximum of 1~2 GB per release, and unlike the different SAO parts, having each "episode" actually have a narrative beginning and end.
The only one who can win anything at all in this situation is some kind of minor character, like Suguha.
That's why she is the GOAT.
I'm glad I didn't have to say anything to the heretic because you already took care of it, Dates-sempai XD LMAO, imagine being so blind to call the most original and unexpectedly great plot-twist of the whole game "dogshit", smh, talk about lack of Sugu-ness.
You know, I am more than willing to go down with the ship. To defend Suguha until I cannot do it anymore, even if by some chance we do not get the proper ending to her story, I will never forget that she gave everyone who got sick of the main plot a reason to keep playing for months.
Much like how the Mets and Lindor got destroyed in the face of the Dodgers and Ohtani this week, Suguha might possibly not win the hypothetical World Series that is Kirito's incestual awakening, but she is my mvp irregardless. (This might be a bit of a lie because I'm an Ohtani fanboy, but the baseball analogy didn't work otherwise.)
That being said, right now when I think about what possible games Fujino will do next in 2036, I'm honestly hoping more for a character I can root for half as much like I did for Suguha instead.
Today's Suguha's post is her in a cowgirl outfit, to honor how much I have milked the best girl for content
