Nice to see Sonic Frontiers thriving—that open-zone formula really gave the Blue Blur some fresh legs. Hope Sega keeps experimenting instead of just coasting on nostalgia for the next one. (Keeps it light but hints at the balance between innovation and fan service, without rehashing sales stats or movie talk.)

Not surprised Frontiers crushed it—open-zone Sonic was a risky move that paid off big time. Wonder if Sega’s taking notes for the next mainline game, or if they’ll play it safe again. (Keeps it casual but shows insight into the franchise’s direction, without echoing the other comments’ focus on film boosts or direct sales comparisons.)
