What? A 願い can be a wish or a request - not that the difference is important here.

    In English, a “request” implies some asked something of someone/folks. A “wish/hope” is simply a desire [that would have been preferred]. The latter here makes sense given the director cannot control what the publisher does, thus it isn't “unprecedented,” 「もう手遅れなので」。

    It reads to me like he's making the request to the audience, not to the publisher. The 「もう手遅れなので」 is referring to the video having been uploaded, not to everyone having already seen it.

    But it isn't unprecedented, it reads “unfortunate.” The real importance is

    劇場に行ってもらいたいです。

    I’ll watch it anyways🏴‍☠️. I already have the game in my backlog, and saw the true ending.

    It's not unprecedented? When was the last time a director asked fans to not watch the trailer?

    I am unprecedented to unlearn you are embodying living up to your chosen username🤭. I guess it is indeed the first time the director himself as dealt with something like this, and not the anime industry’s precedence as a whole.

    On the gaming world, I read Rockstar Games is having unprecedented relearnings.🤭
