Woman also charged for separately threatening Ito in June

The Tokyo Metropolitan Police processed two suspects on November 8 for prosecution for allegedly sending online messages threatening actress Ayumi Ito. According to the police in Tokyo's Shinjuku ward, the female unemployed suspect in her 20s and the male suspect in his 30s asked Ito to pull out of a live-action show's preview screening and asked a game company to recast a character voiced by Ito, among other demands. The authorities report that the female suspect from Aichi Prefecture and the male suspect from Hokkaido — who did not know each other — admitted to separately making threats and forcible obstruction of business.
According to the investigation, the female suspect wrote, "I hate you so much that I want to kill you," and other threats in the comments section of the website for Ito's agency on June 8.
The male suspect allegedly wrote, "I want you to recast the game character voiced by Ito" and "I feel like I want to gouge eyeballs with a knife," among other threats, on the game company's online comment form on June 11.
Ito's agency and the game company contacted the police in Shibuya in June, and Ito reportedly did pull out of the June 25 preview screening for a live-action show due to the threats.
The only major game role that Ito is currently playing is Tifa Lockhart in the Final Fantasyfranchise (and by extension, the Kingdom Hearts games). Ito is reprising Tifa for the Final Fantasy VII Remake game, which will launch on PlayStation 4 on March 3, 2020. She also played Tifa in the Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, Last Order Final Fantasy VII anime projects, and On the Way to a Smile - Episode Denzel: Final Fantasy VII anime.

Maybe these two autists can meet each other, fall in love, and then amplify each others idiocy to create a superlolcow.

An autistic singularity.....

Terrifying, but so much potential.

Imagine getting mad about the voice of a character in a mediocre at best Final Fantasy game remake.

Japanese fans are something else.

I feel like I want to gouge eyeballs with a knife,

Maybe that's the problem; you're trying to hear through your eyes.

Chris is worse: Remember Sonic Boom?

She's pretty attractive. I'd give her the little death.

Your ideas are intriguing and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Since the two spergs seem to be unconnected, I'm going to make a guess that the male suspect is just some pissed-off otaku who's also a turbo-sped and depending on the identity of the female suspect, it could be one of those female otaku turbo-speds or a woke Westerner living in Japan.

Pre order materia is pretty fucking awful too. I'd at least be less angry if they actually told us how many parts they'd be. For all we know they could make 7 of these.

I can't wait to see how they're going to do balancing. Are they actually only going to give you just Fire this whole game? There's so many questions that need answering that I'm 80% sure this whole thing is going to flop.

The battle system is based off of 15 so they've had years to refine it. Mechanically it's solid.

Content wise it's like the Hobbit movies where they stretch everything out and turn molehills into mountains. For a movie it's not that good of an idea but for a game it won't matter as much. The Dungeons will be more elaborate and you'll get to explore places you couldn't in the original.

FF7 was already slow as fuck once you leave Midgar so that's gonna be horrifying down the line.
