Are They Hinting At Rapunzel Being Next?!

[Xigbar the Cat]

Just got my first memory since the update and its a memory that shows Pascal and Rapunzel holding him. Could this be that they are hinting that my princess is finally coming?! Cuz I think last "season", the memories I kept getting were Toy Story ones.

I've been getting Rapunzel memories ever since September, so I don't think this on its own hints at Rapunzel being next :)

Since those are the main character's memories (yours, essentially) the depictions are of the things you are remembering, and therefore hint that those characters will be in the game... eventually. But for those of us who have been playing since September or October there are already a LOT of memories and a lot of characters depicted in those memories. They can't all be coming "next." And I doubt that we will see them more than 1, 2 or 3 at a time.

In other words, this game isn't intended to ever be "finished." Since it will be a free-to-play game (also eventually) the studio and publisher will make their money via paid DLC which will include new areas to play in and new characters to bring back to the valley. Such games are not intended to be "finished." To continue making money, new content must continually be developed and released on a regular basis.

This also mean that there will be little glitches and bugs that need to be fixed. Once in awhile something might be so awful as to merit a "Hot Fix" patch.

Expect it, and learn to live with it. This industry has been evolving since the mid 80's and games are now being released (and have been for 15 years now) incomplete and unfinished, with the expectation that you will give the development studio money to keep them working on the game. The risk for catastrophic failure is less this way.

Relative to this is the fact that some of the greatest games ever released have been buggy to the point of being unplayable. Bethesda's games (Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim) are good examples of that. Those were FINISHED games that were released with hundreds of bugs in them. If you bought the game and did not have internet service, you were just screwed, because all of those games required patching from over the internet.

So, long story short, this game will not be finished even when it goes live, and that is by design.

Oh i know all too well how games have been going lately and how this game MIGHT go. Tho, this studio usually makes mobile games. Not pc. So maybe it will be different, especially with Disney involved. I know that sounds completely insane to say seeing as Disney and mobile games are the most money hungry things in this world. Lol. But im still keeping hope.
And if there are paid dlc like areas and characters, i just hope they're simple prices. Not like $30 or $40 dlc. Lol. $5 or $10 maybe? Depending on whats in it.
But I guess we will all see how this goes down once it gets released as free to play.
Destiny 2 went free to play and kind of ruined itself a little. A forced $100 dlc, if you want the rest of the dlc. $50 for literally just the story and a "free" season pass to the first season with the dlc. Free.... Passes are $10. The last dlc was $40. You do the math. Its not a free pass. Lmao.
I hate it when games go free to play. Cuz then you have to pay for every little thing and the game is full of "you want this pretty shiny thing? $15 loser". It annoys me.
And bugs? Haha!! Ive put, i think, 200 or 300 hours into Fallout 76. The buggiest game known to gamers in these recent years. I can handle goofy little bugs in DDV. Lol.
