This isn't Mass Effect 4 -- remember that

Then I guess Pillars of Eternity, Planescape: Torment, Fallout: New Vegas and BG2 are all Mass Effect games 

Really? Even though it was a few small moments in one of the trailers, it seemed pretty weird that some of the new aliens could comprehend what Ryder was saying and Ryder can do the same. Not only that one of them, used the term Pathfinder as if they already knew the meaning behind the word. But I'm looking forward to see if EAware will actually explain how these aliens understand the MW species. I wonder if every one of these new species acquired a translator and have access to the MW public extranet to obtain the MW species' language translations or do they just know the trade tongue that was developed in the MW?

Edit: Also here is a snippet of information from the codex that I found interesting: Newly discovered or obscure races don't have machine translation available until the linguists have had time to study them. So now I'm really wondering how they're going to explain this. I predict they won't LOL.

oh i agree. But if they called it Me 4 I think a lot of people would be like "oh Shepard is coming back" oh bioware will do something with the endings and save us from their horribleness. But putting the title Andromeda should make very clear that's not happening.

They have been pretty clear from the get-go that they are trying to capture the "feel" of the first game. It remains to be seen if they can deliver on that front, but as someone who quite liked Inquisition and who is largely at peace with the updated ending to ME3, Bioware hasn't given me much reason to not trust them. I know plenty of people disagree and that's okay; but for me, Bioware has yet to truly disappoint me so I don't have as much anxiety about MEA as others.

Possible spoilers for an old, unrelated film: I get the sense Andromeda will be The Force Awakens of the franchise. Basically a soft reboot that reintroduces people to the franchise and doesn't take too many story risks in order to build a firm foundation for new products going forward. If it can recapture the feeling of meeting new aliens and exploring strange planets while presenting it in a sleek, relaxing aesthetic, I will consider it a success on that front.

Slightly off-topic, but I do hope the color palette in MEA is reminiscent of the first Mass Effect. That game was very blue, while ME2 was very orange. ME3 was just vibrant but without the sense that there was a visual style they were going for. I love the first game because it was always felt strangely relaxing even in the middle of a firefight. I attribute that to the game's coloration, design, and music.
