Hugely popular tactical RPG won't add dating because devs 'have no real-life experience'

TL;DR


1. The tactical RPG game, Tactics Ogre: Reborn, will not be adding a dating system or romance options, as the developers have stated they have no real-life experience with relationships. The game's director, Yasumi Matsuno, explained that they felt it would be difficult to authentically portray romantic relationships without drawing from personal experiences.

2. Matsuno acknowledged that the lack of dating or romance features may disappoint some players, but the team decided it was better to avoid including such systems than to risk portraying them in an inauthentic or potentially problematic way. The developers prioritized staying true to their vision and expertise rather than trying to incorporate elements they felt unqualified to handle.

3. The decision not to include dating or romance in Tactics Ogre: Reborn is seen by some as a refreshing stance, as many games often feel compelled to include relationship mechanics, even if the developers lack the necessary experience or perspective to handle them effectively. The game's focus on its core tactical RPG gameplay and narrative is seen as a more honest and genuine approach.
