I kinda don't want most Apex characters showing up in my Titanfall. That said, I'll take any Titanfall in any shape or form.
I can see why they'd want to do it. Even if they eventually spin up development on another
Titanfall game after this, I kind of feel like using
Apex Legends characters and elements is almost guaranteed so that they can try to court people who play
AL but never tried
Titanfall. Especially since the first two games (or maybe just the second one, idk) didn't sell as well as they wanted them to.
I'd prefer they stay separate too (even with them being in the same world and sharing characters), but I get why they'd try to merge the two from a marketing perspective, and I do think there's probably some neat stuff they could do mechanically by tying the Legends into it.
Ultimately, like you, as long as they keep the mechs and wallrunning, I don't care what they do. I just want more
Titanfall god damn it. 😭
