Square Enix’s new fantasy parkour game The prophesied got off to a somewhat rocky start in terms of public perception among gamers, who found their Joss Whedon-esque dialogue in advertising frightening. However, The prophesied‘s leading lady says she doesn’t care for all the discourse the game’s dialogues have caused online and frankly more power to her.
The prophesiedwhich was released on January 24th, follows a downtrodden New Yorker named Frey who must rescue the denizens of the fantasy world she is given isekaie with the help of a talking cuff called a cuff. In a recent Interview with The edgeElla Balinska, who plays The prophesied Lead Frey said she’s proud of her performance in the game because she knows she has to take on a role that her eight-year-old self would have been thrilled to be a part of.
“I always refer to my eight-year-old self when I talk about something I’m really proud of, I’m speechless right now,” Balinska said The edge. I never thought I’d be playing games downstairs with my mom’s hairdresser’s son while she gets her hair done. Well, to think that he can pick up this game and play it like me, it’s just amazing. And I hope it inspires other people to realize that if you try hard enough, something really crazy can happen.”
When asked what she thought of the online memes people were making about the game’s dialogue, Balinska simply said, “There are things we all do that might raise other people’s eyebrows,” and so on
“I think people always have a positive or negative reaction to something that they’re not used to, and that’s totally fine because that’s how we inspire change,” Ballinska said The edge. “This is such an extraordinary game that has come out with this amazing protagonist who is so brave, so uncompromising and so reserved in the best way possible. I think audiences might not be that used to seeing that.”

In our The prophesied Review, we said Square Enix’s Parkour Isekai deserved better than what shipped on release date because the strength of its story and protagonist outweighs its performance issues and much-cited dialogue.
