And you're still trying to limit what I said down to HW jobs. I was speaking in general about the company that likes to distract for fun, and to push hype. They're great at it, and that's why I love them. They've managed to push out 111 pages of this distracting hype thread with a single shirt.
Going "Here's a clue for something that's right, but then I'm gonna say it's not a clue" is not a red herring, especially when it's denied in an obvious manner and context where it's understood he's not being serious about the denials. An example of a red herring would be if he wore a shirt featuring hints towards something that didn't end up being implemented or result in anything. It would be akin to him wearing a Batman shirt but then the job released was Samurai and not Dark Knight. That is a red herring.


And his "loves to troll" comment was honestly more specifically in reference to the story/narrative elements they were discussing. He, nor this dev team, has shown any kind of real penchant for overtly trolling or misleading information. And this thread has only gone on so far not necessarily because of what SE has done with their shirt, but more so that people deny the evidence before them and continue to grasp at anything they can to support what they want.

There's also no evidence yet that Yoshida's shirt choice was meant to drum up crazy speculation and not simply a poor choice in shirts to wear to tease the next job.
