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.
Really not happy with the asari "redesign", I see. I think you may be jumping the gun; you only saw ONE asari and she was pulling a derpy face and was wearing war paint. I'm sure they'll be plenty of sexy asari in Andromeda.

They may shoot for a younger audience and teen romance. If the colonists are mostly young (20-30ish) I doubt we will see a Pearl or any adult R&R establishments. You just don't have the infrastructure.

They said the protagonist would be greener, not younger. And they never said that we'd be in our early twenties, or that the colonist themselves are all mostly young. Also, in both DAO and DA2 our character is at best in the mid twenties, if not younger in certain DAO origins. Our character's age means nothing in regards of the audience or the type of romance involved.
We might not have adult establishments, but it'd be more for the particular situation we're in Andromeda then the younger audience or teen romance theory.

They're still ditching Milky Way and all the landmark & iconic locations within it. Keeping the rest as similar/safe as possible is a good move in such context
I don't really get the premise of this thread. Setting the game several hundred years in the future and in another galaxy seems to be a smart move. It keeps people from asking about Shepard's fate (see the whole: "What about the Warden" debacle) and creates a distance to the whole endings drama of ME 3.
Having visual similarities (Tempest and Ark) plus the same alien races and themes (N7) keeps continuity. Otherwise people would probably complain that it isn't a Mass Effect Game.
Not enough is known about the game to predict with any degree of accuracy whether it will be good or terrible.
Indeed we don't knw enough to properly judge it but based on what I've seen so far I'm leaning towards good.
Screwed up? No.
Divisive? Certainly.
In a corner? Hell yes.
But the way they are headed appears to adequately handle leaving Mass Effect behind, whilst, er, retaining Mass Effect.
Sometimes the most inventive art is produced under stress and they have had a dose of that..
That depends on the manner of the departure.
Because as things stand now, these arks shouldn't be possible.
Sounds to me just like the many spinoff series after Star Trek:TNG. I don't see the problem.
Hell, to me it sounds almost exactly like the jump between TOS and TNG, even without the spinoffs that came after. Set far in the future, with a whole new cast of characters aboard a ship that's familiar, but not too familiar, as they explore further than anyone ever has before...
And, hey, seeing as how TNG's pretty much the best thing to ever happen to television ever (Maybe a teeny bit biased)... Well, I'd say we've little cause to worry!

TOS and TNG were both within the Federation. Complete with trips to Earth, Vulcan, etc.
Here the Federation got blowed up, so we have to leave and find someplace else to live.
I just hope they know what they're doing. God help them if they mess this up.
There will always be people unhappy that complains. In fact, I know people already complaining and criticizing the game just because it's the next BioWare game. They have no interest in playing it might I add, but they have to moan about it anyway.

Well, we got Sovereign's corpse, Collector ships and Virtual Aliens with their advanced spacefaring tech. More than enough to cook up the Arks IMO. Thanix cannon already set precedent
Yeah but they should've wiped the whole humanity-needs-to-survive gig, it seems that they can't come up with anything new with the story. It's the story that concerns me since they screwed up the ending @ ME3, but I'll wait and see if the game will finally live up to it's reputation.There will always be people unhappy that complains.

Hence, 'almost exactly', I suppose.
It's not a direct analogue, but in terms of what it allows them to do with the setting, it's similar. Even leaving aside that the Enterprise D explores areas of space the original NCC-1701 never touched, the Alpha and Beta quadrants were a very different place by the time Picard set out on his continuing mission - as were the civilisations that occupied them - and the gap in time between TOS and TNG allowed them a great deal more storytelling latitude than they would've had if they'd set the series only a few years after Kirk's five year mission.
The motivation behind setting this new game in another galaxy, a few hundred years after the events of the original trilogy, is similar, I suspect--with the need for added story flexibility further compounded by BioWare's laudable reluctance to canonise a given series of events in the original trilogy.
What you are saying is true, but you have to remember that there is only so much they can do before it is not a Mass Effect game anymore.
I'm a free citizen of earth, princess. I moved to Australia in my late 200s with Aria and the little ones. This was just after I saved Sur'kesh and got this Spectre gig. Its great, Australia's like Tuchanka but habitable.
Nice people too they really know how to kill stuff around here.
Sharks.

Is it bad that, when I read the OP, I heard it spoken in the voice of "Moaning Myrtle?"
