It's not even the same dev team is it?
This is what I find interesting because you're right; it's not the same team.
From all reports, the creative lead that worked on the trilogy and built the world that most grew to love were either laid off or went on to explore other avenues. Instead, they were replaced by people like Maneef, who is confirmed to hate white people (absolutely memeworthy in my opinion), and others.
It is also funny how this game similarly suffers from an extreme case of black & white like many others recently. There just is no middle ground anymore and while it is good to gauge a game's worth on your own....sometimes I'd like to just know the pros and cons with no fluff added aand go from there. I already have too much and haven't even beaten Nioh, Nier, Horizon, OR Danganronpa. And THEN Persona is on the way. Like holy ****.
