Some people think that it will take the focus off inklings and it would be hard to introduce them in a game a lot of people don't seem to understand has a more concrete and realistically defined universe, from what I could gather on this forum. Personally they remind me too much of Shadow the Hedgehog for me to like them anymore, although I'm not opposed to their playability.
Still a stange mindset, in my eyes.
I can see Octolings being included as some kind of unlockable, instead of being playable from the get go.
And as such, I can see them working perfectly fine.
Whether the unlocking condition is paid DLC, amiibo or clearing Story Mode first, I do not care personally.
But as an unlockable, I can't see them damaging the Inkling's reputation.
And if Octolings end up becoming more popular, well then that is how it is.
Octoling are already insanely popular as it is. Easily rivaling the popularity of the Inkling Girl
And... is that supposed to be a bad thing? I already said that boosting the AI's capabilities is an option. I can't imagine that it would take much more than tweaking a few variables and writing a bit of new code.
Yes, it would be similar to the Octoling Battle missions, but it would also be an expansion of it (well, my idea of it is).
Still, I dont think it would make for a good game mode.
And I don't think Nintendo will go through the trouble of programming a potent AI for an online mode, when the established PvP formula already works perfectly fine.
I for one can't understand this mindset. As for me, getting off the hype train and brainstorming alternatives doesn't equate to not wanting them in. And to be honest, I've seen a fair bit more support for playable Octolings than I have dissent (I can think of what, two?) on these boards. So I'm supposed to believe that three people speak for all of SquidBoards? I don't get it.
Ok then.
But I have seen more and more people going against people that would like Octolings to be playable, as if they don't want them in.
People tellung is, Octolings will never be playable (some even stating they shouldn't be) for some unexplained reason (and again, ignoring the clues and evidence that speak for their inclusion).
Basicly, I don't get the people, that are so passionate in telling us, that Octolings are not going to be playable.
I mean, if you believe that, I am fine with it.
But why continue to shove these lines into our faces? Do you really want the Octo-Believers to think otherwise, that badly?
