If asaru means what i think it means I *wish* there were going to be loads of sexy asaru in Andromeda. That little girl asari that looks like a little boy does not count.
A "reboot" is merely an attempt to revive a franchise/series that had previously "jumped the shark." or fallen into dormancy. This qualifies - no doubt in my mind. Will it work? Remains to be seen, but I have a hunch that those that reveled in the idea that they had Bioware trapped in a corner with ME are getting a little nervous about their quarry having escaped. Call it ME:A or ME4 or whatever you like... It's going forward... and I'm looking forward to it.
"You can get on board to step aside, but don't stand in [it's] way."
Actually looking back we would need to know if Andromeda will be an actual trilogy of games before we can say if it's a reboot.
-If it's only a stand alone game then it can be seen as a side game in the series (they did come out and say this wasn't Mass Effect 4) so the next game could return us to the Milky Way if Andromeda is self-contained to a single game.
-If Andromeda does run into a series then I would say yes it is a reboot (A soft one at the very least) since there is no need to play the original trilogy for the next three games and no real need for any back story aside from what would be explained in the prologue (the reaper War is the only thing that would need to be talked about since many of the major choices in ME3 would not need to be addressed if it is a trilogy)
So this one would need to be a wait and see.
It does count if it is in fact your squadmate. There's no running from BioWare when it comes to your mono-gendered love interest.
As for Asaru.
See my sig.
I didn't see it before. Thanks for making me laugh, I guess.
Nah, it's not the same, since she's an asari, and asari are females.
Exactly.
That's clearly a man.
She's not, considering how many people that like women find her cute or attractive. Even if I don't, she doesn't look like a man to me.
And no matter how unattractive or manly you find her, unless Bioware intoduces male asari (which I frankly doubt they will, and even in the case they won't look like that, in my opinion), she's an asari, a woman.
There are people that seems to like going to Andromeda and that don't want to be in the Milky Way though.
Those are the people who would look forward to a Mass Effect game even if it was set entirely in the large intestine of a varren.

Considering that the same people said they'd hate if Bioware picked an ending or remained in the Milky Way, I doubt it. I don't think only fanboys like the Andromeda shift,
Never watched Springer? A lot of guys just cant plain tell the difference these days.
Its sad.
I didn't watch Springer, no.
It's not just guys that said she looks cute or attractive.
Cant use the Normany so just design the Tempest to look like Normandy 3.0
You might want to look at a picture of the Normandy to compare it to the Tempest. Outside the using white, red and black paints and elongated fuselage (which all Alliance and Turian ships have), they don't look similar at all.

That only furthers the point. Maybe the reason so many women are saying he's attractive is because he looks like a man?
Or because they're lesbiums.

Feeding into stereotypes again I see.
You humans are all phobic.

Asaruphobia is an ugly concept that needs to end.

Fixed.So rather than admit it looks like a man you're prepared to argue everyone else is a lesbian?

This was gave its definition as "an attempt" and did say that the success of that attempt "remains to be seen." Whether or not this becomes a Trilogy will depend on the financial success of ME:A. There is also a possibility that their intention is to just make this an "expandable universe" (adding on a cluster with each instalment - with no defined ending(s); which would make it hard to define it as a "trilogy" even if there winds up being 3 games in the series. I still think that Bioware is clearly attempting to "reboot" the Mass Effect franchise in line with the style of the previous Mass Effect games. Looking at the trailer and even if I knew nothing else, I would still clearly identify it as a Mass Effect game simply because it looks and feels like a Mass Effect game. Bioware are also now indicating that they have retained some strong connections to the original Trilogy. We don't yet know what those are, but it's certainly not a statement that says that they've just completely ignored everything that happened in the Milky Way. A change of location in and of itself does not disqualify it as a "reboot" - an attempt to revive a franchise that has previously jumped the shark.... which is a formal definition of the term "reboot." We can sit here and split hairs all day about "hard" vs. "soft" vs. "sequel" vs. etc. That is what the naysayers on this forum have been doing for 4 years now in an effort to make it seem so impossible for Bioware to go forward with the Mass Effect franchise. The naysayers can continue to do so if they want... but sooner or later they're just going to get steamrolled by the "Mass Effect" train. This series IS going forward despite the naysayers.
I'll see your genophage and raise you a cure.
Fixed.
They wrote themselves into such a corner with ME3 that this "reboot" barely qualifies as one
Cant use the Normany so just design the Tempest to look like Normandy 3.0
Go to another galaxy but drag along every race from the Milky Way because they don't want to let them go
Cant use the Citadel so just design the Ark to be a mini Citadel
Cant use Shepard but still have an N7 character
Main character still working for an official organization
Its funny and sad at the same time. I was hoping for drastic changes, but I guess Mass Effect Andromeda is just going to turn out to be Mass Effect 4.
For me, it's kind of exciting to see them go off in a different area of space so that they have the breathing room to write new stories and not have a lot of the baggage from the previous game tying their hands together. Especially with how they ended the last game I don't envy them trying to figure out how to keep it going while pleasing everyone's decision....it just wouldn't have happened unless they hadn't given us ANY choice at the end. Many would argue they didn't anyway, but I'm not necessarily in that camp.
You're going to see similarities but it's the context that matters. The things you listed are part of the Mass Effect DNA, kind of how Star Trek always has a Captain and there's always the Enterprise. I'd also nitpick a number of the points since they're pretty broad generalizations, the Tempest might serve the same kind of function but it doesn't look the same and the Alliance would make similar looking ships...we do all the time, story wise it makes sense for them to bring some of the other races, and we have zero info about the supposed N7 with us. And why wouldn't they send Alliance special forces with us on what is most likely going to be a partially dangerous mission?
Everything makes sense in the lens of looking at it in universe. You may not enjoy the reasoning behind why we're there and that's fine, that's your opinion but I feel personally that I'm happy we're getting new things to do and see and aren't really tied down to the decisions we made in the original trilogy.
I hope ME:A is the beginning of a new series, it's going to be fun!
So rather than admit it looks like a man you're prepared to argue everyone else is a lesbian?
*Crosses arms*
What? 
I was saying that some women that find her attractive might be lesbians or bisexuals. Which, based on what I know about some of the posters, is true.
And even if they're straight, some women finding her cute doesn't mean they think she looks like a man.
I don't have to admit anything. I honestly don't care how she looks like, and I already said I don't find her attractive. I just don't see how she looks like a man. Feel free to believe whatever you want. Sooner or later Bioware will talk more about her, and it'll be evident that they consider her an asari and a woman.
Not that it'll stop people calling her a man, based on previous experience on this forum.
