What small little thing makes you go "Instant no buy for me" in an upcoming game?

My go-to thing that usually makes me tap out before release is when they say "we're making the new game for people who aren't fans of the franchise". I remember they said that about Tales of Arise for example and since I'm a fan of the franchise, they were outright telling me they don't want me to buy it so I didn't (in that particular case, them not having multiplayer which was a staple of the series was also a huge factor).

In general when they say they're making it for people who aren't fans, it makes me as a fan feel like they're deliberately trying to make me not like it, and I've been right about that in most cases, so...

Arise wasn't best Tales game but I thought it was the best one since Vesperia.  It had nothing on Symphonia or Vesperia. It felt very much like any other Tales game to me, but I've never played any of them multiplayer.

I bought in as my first tales game cause they actually gave it a budget, not a AA fame masquerading for AAA prices like some other studios, ahem atlus ahem.
