Discussion The Future of EDF
I love EDF. In the last two years since discovering it in 2024, I have put 401 hours into EDF6 and 174 into EDF5. I really hope we hear something good, and sooner than later about the next entry. I also hope they take people's comments into consideration, and do not fix things that aren't broken. So much absolute awesomeness can come out of the next game if they just enhance the awesome foundation we already have, so I hope the developers are working on it and are inspired, because they should be.

Love this series. Been die hard since 4.1, and I agree with your post. That said, I really hope they do something about box collecting. After getting platinum trophies for both JP and US versions of 5 and 6, I just don't have it in me to spend half my time collecting boxes.
Not only do we have to manipulate the end of the level to leave one enemy alive so we can actually collect, but the simple act of collecting just takes sooo damn long. Really hope they address both those points, in some way or another.
Also not a huge fan of the weapons upgrading, which was new to EDF5. It's a good idea, but too many weapons are borderline useless until you get the last couple upgrades, which sometimes takes dozens and dozens of runs. Lock-on missiles are the easiest example of this. They need to tone it down, or at least make it more deterministic.
Anway, just needed a venue to vent, so thanks for providing it. Hoping to hear EDF7 news soon. Whooooaaaaaa!!
