I don't understand why it's so hard for these devs to figure out the fact that we just want them to create the Sword Art Online Aincrad world as an open world MMORPG. They can release the levels in waves. The base game can have levels 1-10, then release 10 levels at a time or something. I know it's a big project but I don't think anyone but the hardcore SAO fans want to play as Kirito and replay the manga stories.
I said the same They literally have a phone app that they could just convert to PC and console that’s exactly that I don’t know why they keep running with this troupe
Taking me a long while to sit through the last one, this looks and feels better. Still wish for an SAO game with our own character and sub plot adventures along the storyline
Why does so many people don't understand that SAO is not sao without kirito, if you change the mc for a random ass new character you have to rewrite everything from the ground up since every character have to be replaced if it was a mmorpg why not but not in this situation
@@kannonfps what u thing abt making it like elden right we control sotry makes more sense everyone would love a sao game like that i would love not to be forced to do quest i wanna fight boar and level up and just fight boss when i wanna like for god sake roblox got better sao games lol
@@tyfly349 An important question to ask yourself is WHY did you start playing SAO games when there are plenty of games that are FAR better in every aspect. idk for you but most people play theses SAO games because they loved the anime/manga/movies therefore they want to re-live it in some way while being a part of it. Because of that new player comes and buy those game for that main reason. I would love to see a MMORPG where we would be playing our own character, chosing our own class just like if we were immersed in the world of SAO for the first time I do agree on the fact that yeah it could be really interesting to see an entirely new scenario with a new mc who develop his friendship etc with the cast we learned to love but they won't do it for many reasons Let's be real the main reason is because it's bandai and they are not known to make good shit in general... just looking at how little effort they've put into the cinematics/cutscenes of Alicization Lycoris shows how little they care about it... especially looking back at the previous game who had amazing cutscenes with really good animation. it's too much time and money for them to take the risk of making something that would be that far from the "essence" of SAO
@@kannonfps Gonna be honest, when they give you the option to change 'Kirito' into an entirely different person anyway, even a completely different voice or gender, is it really even still Kirito? To me it just feels like they don't know what they want so they do both, which just comes off as more jarring.
It's crazy when you realise that the Kirito and Asuna features on Tales of Arise look a million times better than the character models on a dedicated SAO game from big companies and quote unquote "The culmination of the SWORD ART ONLINE game series". They're really making it feel like they just do this for the money and that there's absolutely no real interest in giving us a well worked game. It looks just like Hollow Realization and that game came out on PS4 like 6 years ago.
Tales of Arise had a way bigger budget. Even with the collaboration, they had to make the models fit the graphics and the art style of the game. You seriously can’t be saying that the SAO games have a AAA budget. At most a AA budget and from what I see, they’ve worked hard on this game, as it seems to have actual animated cutscenes and not the CGI ones from before. The fact they also listened to feedback from Lycoris in making the combat smoother and faster was another thing.
the problem is you vastly overestimate how popular SAO is. SAO sells ~30 thousand copies of each volume in japan. Tales of Arise sold 1 million copies it's first week and is probably closing in on 2.5 million now.
I hope for one day we have a SAO game wich is in Aincrad again, with our own character, creating our own history through the game. We have a game exactly like this (SAO: Integral Factor) but it's a mobile game.
unfortunately its looking more like its following the path of Alicization Lycoris over fatal bullet. Wish they could/would of continued with the Fatal bullet systems and path instead.
I hope rly they bring back another Fatal Bullet with online Ranking bounty System own Charakter Design i rly miss that game but sadly there is not much Player left
So at the very least, they managed to fix the molasses combat of the previous title at least. They've also brought back the utterly pointless "Kirito Customization". Just give us an original character protagonist to play as in the Underworld setting.
you do realize that SAO is ABOUT kirito right ? RIGHT ? you remove kirito you also remove everybody else since they all gravitate towards him ... how is that so fucking hard to understand ???? + it's not like SAO is the only game out there in the genre why don't you play something else ? your comment is the equivalent to say "make a one piece game but remove Luffy" which is stupid as hell if you turn on your brain
Speeding up the combat could mean less time to dodge, parry, and break>aerial>down combos. You think you want faster combat until you're crying that there's no time to attack. And why are you whining about Kirito being the MC of what's gonna be an anime retelling + probably some original side story? Fatal Bullet rotted your brain.
@@BlueKazuki I can understand their frustration. If we can make our own character but the character still see and treat us like Kirito. Just let it be Kirito. White Knight chronicles made use feel pointless, (like an NPC being dragged around with the actual party), but at least we're our own freaking character. It's a bit annoying how they think only "guys who want to have harems" play Sword art Online. This is funnier in games like Integral Factor where Kirito IS his own character there as well. (which might be why I see a lot of people just dressing up as Kirito) It's an insult for how good their concept and story is.
@@migultantamco Oh. Thanks for the correction. I sadly skip this game because I suck at shooter games. But yeah. If we really are our own person there, then more of that, and Integral Factor, please~
based off this trailer i dont know how to feel about this, my views are: upsides: the gameplay looks like a improvement (though minor) over alicization lycoris and the areas look really cool. The controls do seem quite simple The inventory looks decent (not the best i've seen but it works) downsides: yet another game where you just play as Kirito, wish we could get more games where we ACTUALLY create our own character rather than just being a customisable Kirito (I want it to be more like Fatal bullet and/or integral factor in that aspect) The graphics look quite old (as in PS3/xbox 360 level of old) and the HUD looks alot more like it belongs in a mobile game. The best way for me to describe this is that it looks like it belongs on a PSvita rather than a PC, PS4/5 or an Xbox one/series X/S Based off the trailer the battle system seems like a heavy 4 V 1 aspect (4 players, 1 enemy), I'm hoping this isn't the case but if it is then that is an extremely disappointing thing. Unless you are an extreme SAO fan, this game isn't really looking the best. Since Fatal bullet (which I personally enjoyed enough to get both on xbox originally and then PC as i'm drifting away from consoles) the SAO games seem to be falling off. I tried playing alicization lycoris but i just cant get into the story as I personally don't feel invested in it as I'm not really playing as a version of me, instead i'm playing as kirito.. The combat also felt really clunky and the menu system/Controls felt all over the place (to the point i was struggling to even get to the map or use skills). While fatal bullet had its flaws (the non cutscene characters not having much/any emotion on their character models for example), both gameplay and story wise (for the base game) it was really good (the dlc was sometimes hit or miss), the gameplay felt smooth and easy to control, and the story had me invested as I felt like my own character along with getting to know these cool unique characters alongside me (Kurhea, zeliska and Itsuki). on top of this the graphics were great (for the time, and even now fatal bullet graphics are better than both Alicization Lycoris and this gameplay trailer) and it looked like it actually belonged on the modern consoles at the time, instead of looking like a ported PSvita game. I wish they continued with the systems they had with FB as that system was by far the best i've experienced in SAO games. Hopefully, this game manages to surprise me and turns out to be amazing, but based off this gameplay trailer it is not looking good (tbh i feel like this would have been better as just a massive expansion to Alicization Lycoris as thats honestly what its looking like (which does not bode well considering Alicization Lycoris was a bit of a mess))
Alicization combat is great if you look into it. But it is a bit of a mess. Look up skills you should unlock to get more powerful. Its actually quite pleasant to play after chapter 2-3
I agree, honestly my biggest problem here is the graphics and the UI, I really can't understand how we as fans are letting them recycle so many models that haven't even been retouched a bit just with new skins on, the graphics look way too dated for a game like this, heck, it even recommends having a 1660Ti for 1080p60FPS gameplay, that's asking for more than way better games (in matter of graphics of course), they are even telling us it's the closure for the SAO game saga and they're charging full price for something that feels like has no innovation in it whatsoever. As a SAO fan who would still blindly buy bad products just because of the hype, it's crazy to think that this looks like a let down even for someone like me. Look at what TT Games did for Skywalker Saga, a closure to a big chapter in lego star wars history, it lived up to the hype and even for a lego game the graphics are astonishing, it really is the example of what a 'thank you' to devoted fans of a game franchise should be. To me, this SAO game shares the same importance as Skywalker Saga did for Lego SW, yet it just feels like more of the same.
So y'all are gonna do more than like, 4 outfits for the base game, right? If I remember right, Kirito had his basic outfit, basic outfit with a bag on his hip, grey school uniform, the same school uniform but a darker texture, the outfit he gets while locked up, then what you get for maxing friendship with someone, 3 of which you get during the tutorial chapters. Compared to the other games where your equipment, you know, changed with different armor, it was very disappointing seeing how limited we were on choices and this trailer shows 2 outfit options. Y'all go out of your way to show there are currently two right after the bunch of weapon options.
ngl bandi need to stop playing and just go ahead and make a full on sao game that yeh may have kirito in it be the cac story has how we want it prob something like elden rings i wanna level up starting from floor 1 getting to highest floor possible i would spend thousands of dollars on a game like that or make it the alfhiem/aincrad pls do so bandi this is what we all 100 percent want
I have evry sao game and i gotta say lost song is my favorite that type of combat is just so fun and the community in the vita/ ps4 days was immaculate and the fact that you can transfer profiles at the time was great searching for HC weapons was tedious but fun i miss thoes days
I’ve never really played any jrpg’s but I love SAO and wanna try them someday. I’ve heard they’re not the greatest and I tried the Alicization Lycoris demo and honestly I wasn’t a fan but hopefully this changes that
Okay, here's the problem. Everyone seems to agree that Fatal Bullet was the best SAO game, because it was. It was developed by Bandai Namco and Dimps, who were also responsible for Xenoverse, Kakarot, the Ninja Storm games, and more. This game, along with every other SAO game, which most people seem to agree are very average, were developed by a company called Aquria. You see the problem?
may be hella optimized or whatever but if they do the same shit as AL then it's not really worth paying to play this game, i went back to hollow fragment and when i saw the quality of animation i was so fucking disappointed ... an other example would be tales of arise, both the anime and cgi cutscenes/cinematics look insanely good where AL looked garbage from start to finish with maybe 4 "good" animated scenes
Why are you clowns even here watching this trailer? All you do is complain. There was never anything wrong with lycoris or any of the other games. I preordered lycoris on the original Xbox one and the only issue I had with it was the loading times. I bet you’re the same people who were complaining chapter 1 at the cathedral was too difficult forcing them to make it easier and add lightplay mode lmao
@@KazutoK007 lycoris was way to easy, what u talking about, the Game was not optimized enough and thats it… I loved to play the Game with my friend but that lagging bullshit was annyoing
I really dont know why there is always a character costumization. Its a story about SAO with Kirito, Asuna an co. and not some dude with a different hairstyle and face -.-
I love SAO games and I'd love to get my hands on more, so far I only own Lost Song, Hollow Realization, and Fatal Bullet. That said, it's kind of sad to see such an important chapter of the SAO Gameverse be depicted so lazily, the graphics look like they haven't evolved a bit, even though on steam they have a higher recommended requirement GPU than a lot of AAA games. The UI looks like it could be polished and modernized a little bit, although it does pay homage to the classic JRPG style I think it makes the game look obsolete even before launch. I do really hope that the enemy diversity and both the plot and combat come through to make this a great game as I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.
Please make an DLC with Moon Cradle Arc and Dark Emperor Arc after War of Underworld arc (With Sylvie, the new protagonist in Dark Emperor arc), like in Unleash Blading game. Also DLC characters like: Nergius Synthesis Sixteen, Entokia Synthesis Eighteen, Eydis and her sister, Dakira Synthesis Twenty-two and the other three of the Four Oscillation Blades, Selka, Rilpilin, Sachi, Yuna, Eiji, Eugene, Recon, Sakuya, Alicia Rue, Moonphase, Mei Mei Xiang and Sleeping Knights. Would be TOP if you can make a DLC with original characters of Integral Factor, Progressive and Variant Showdown: Sanya, Mito, Kizmel, Koharu and Layla. And GGO characters DLC like: Pitohui, Llenn, Fukaziroh, SHINC characters, M, Dyne, Musqueteer X, Spiegel, Behemoth and Yamikaze. Please, make the best SAO game. Praying to see that in Last Recollection.
It’s technically a new game, but considering how basically all the characters, assets, and the entire combat system seem to be ripped straight from Lycoris, it may as well just be an expansion.
great gotta play as kirito and no playable female, I wanna imerse myself in the sao universe but i want it to be my story and not centered around kirito and his friends
For owning all of the sao games. I can't wait! Hell yeah! :D The only thing I really do like about SAO is how amazing the hud is. (I really do hope we can switch huds, I know Sword Art Online Alicization has the same hud)
@@iV.o7 Hollow fragment is the best one imo (You continue onwards from floor 77) Alicization Lycoris is 2nd best, I really like it Fatal bullet (I like the gameplay but story wise is aight) Hollow realization is pretty neat but it's kinda tough to figure out Don't bother with lost song or accel word (Unless your a hardcore fan) Get these games last If only your very curious about them. I would say, Get hollow fragment for your first sao game then get fatal bullet or realization or maybe Alicization There is another sao game but that was out for a long time, It was only just a mobile game, Integral Factor. That game is one of the absolute best because you make your own character and it has every single floor
@@iV.o7 Your welcome! Have fun playing them! ^w^ Btw, There is a map called Project Aincrad that is fun! It's not very good yet but you can still battle monsters and explore
Are the animations at the end from the anime? I dont remember the trio alive together at the gate in the anime? And the purple knight with white hair aswell, whats going on? Is this game related or are the footage from a season I havent watched? I remember Eugeo dying and Kirito being immobile during the underworld war
As cool as this is, they should have gone the route of making your own character like you could in Fatal Bullet, considering characters from it (Kureha, Zeliska and even Itsuki) are in it and the ArFA-Sys is mentioned (your Fatal Bullet character's maybe???) The Character Customization here looks good but is wasted on Kirito who has his distinct looks as the Black Swordsman. And considering this is a new story of the War of Underworld the potential here for a CaC was perfect. Especially if anyone played Fatal Bullet and could transfer the look of their GGO character, minus costume of course, over to add to the fact you have been going with the cast for some time and a great ally in the fight. It's no doubt too late to do that but. You wasted big potential here. I do wish the game the best.
As someone who was addicted to SAO games (played Infinity Moment English Patch, Hollow Fragment Asia English version, Re:Hollow Fragment, Lost Song *online was so fun on this game*, Hollow Realization, Fatal Bullet, and Accel World vs SAO….. i stopped being an SAO fan and never played anymore after that
bandai i KNOW U CAN SEE THIS. PLS BRING SAO TO VIRTUAL REALITY ALREADY X0!!!!!!! the meta quest headset is already adopted in mass and meta quest 3 comes out this winter. PLSSSSSSSSSSS partner with meta, bundle it with their new quest 3 headset, and itll sell tons of systems based off the game alone!! i realize this is the europe division, relay it to NA if ya can. Thank you in adv!!!! also quest 3 has mixed reality, soooo an official sao game utilizing that could be really cool!!!
Look at this point, I can't deal with game version of Kirito anymore. I know, I know. He's the shows protagonist and all that. But you gotta admit, the game portrays his ass like he Jesus or something, like there's no absolute flaw about him. I see him as the perfect guy that gets all the ladies and still games, which I'm sorry to say is the most unrealistic thing since Kayaba's "Funny, I don’t even remember it anymore." I liked F.B. much more as a game (Shocker I know.) Because you don’t play as Kirito but rather a friend that gradually gets to know him. You have your own unique story built around a unique enviorment. And I absolutely loved it. Here? It's same ol Kirito show about Kirito saving everyone and is never wrong and those who question his good hearted will is an irredemable enemy (unless you're a woman) that must be destroyed. ... Also how dare they introduce Player Customization for an already established character, that's like them saying "Look we wanna make you the protagonist... but this is Kirito's story, sooooo... Cope I suppose."
I hope it's on Nintendo's next console. I say 'next' console because Bandai Namco are awful at optimising games for the Switch (like SAO Alicization Lycoris), despite more demanding games running well on the Switch.
So like, should i play through the dlcs for Lycoris ? I beat the main story and i know the forget me not sword is from the dlc, but do i need to know the dlc story before i play this ?
The honest is answer is because people will buy it anyway due to the name/brand. Still these last few SAO games have improved a fair bit from the previous games, but only just enough to make them look passable.
i wouldn't even say last gen, i would say they look more like Xbox 360/PS3 era. Last gen was graphics like Fatal bullet, which is still miles ahead of the graphics here and that released back in 2018.
O my goooooood PLEASE put dreads in the game. Like please. It would be so much better if we got black people hairstyles. Like straight haired textures are not the only ones one this earth. Its really not that hard. Ill buy a dreadlock hairstyle if i have to. And look into dreadlock hairstyles. Don't just make them look like cheeto puffs please.
Idk why they don't just make a sao fatal bullet 2 this shit gonna be ass and dead so imma just say it go back to sao fatal bullet only valid sao game 😂
exactly this, just make a fatal bullet 2 or another game that is a continuation of that story (for example it could take place in ALO, SA:O or hell even underworld)
Why are the graphics still nearly the same as their previous games? Sao AL was a bit disappointing. It's been a long time now, when can they actually make a decent Sao game? graphic quality and content-wise that would look like it was actually released in 2023, not 2009 lol.
Wait, you took the same engine, horrible controls, poor graphics with animations, an empty world and slightly interpreted the ending? And you want to release this in 2023? Guys, Lycoris was a complete failure on all fronts, look at the level of Hollow Realization after all and think hard, seriously. It's just a mockery of the community.
Maior bait da minha vida quando vi que a bandai tinha registrado essa trademark do "Last Recollection" jurava que ia ser um Remake de .Hack//IMOQ ou remaster, mas só é a porcaria de um jogo do Sword Art Online.
Yeah! Let's buy another 70$ PS3 Game that looks exactly like the one before (AL) and I bet feels also clunky as hell. Didn't like AL at all! HR was amazing as well as FB.
I don't understand why it's so hard for these devs to figure out the fact that we just want them to create the Sword Art Online Aincrad world as an open world MMORPG.

Look at what TT Games did for Skywalker Saga, a closure to a big chapter in lego star wars history, it lived up to the hype and even for a lego game the graphics are astonishing, it really is the example of what a 'thank you' to devoted fans of a game franchise should be. To me, this SAO game shares the same importance as Skywalker Saga did for Lego SW, yet it just feels like more of the same.
Preach ❤
@@ellienyanjust started it. I like the combat but the textures man
0:39 more amazing and perfect song for this SAO game
Feels like hollow realization. Nice
So y'all are gonna do more than like, 4 outfits for the base game, right? If I remember right, Kirito had his basic outfit, basic outfit with a bag on his hip, grey school uniform, the same school uniform but a darker texture, the outfit he gets while locked up, then what you get for maxing friendship with someone, 3 of which you get during the tutorial chapters.
Compared to the other games where your equipment, you know, changed with different armor, it was very disappointing seeing how limited we were on choices and this trailer shows 2 outfit options. Y'all go out of your way to show there are currently two right after the bunch of weapon options.
For me, the lack of cool armor or just a few armor options, or just a bunch of ugly ones, always bothered me, so I feel your pain, brother.
ngl bandi need to stop playing and just go ahead and make a full on sao game that yeh may have kirito in it be the cac story has how we want it prob something like elden rings i wanna level up starting from floor 1 getting to highest floor possible i would spend thousands of dollars on a game like that or make it the alfhiem/aincrad pls do so bandi this is what we all 100 percent want
Copyright xD
@@gaetanoraiola8173 best damn copyright to exist🤣
I have evry sao game and i gotta say lost song is my favorite that type of combat is just so fun and the community in the vita/ ps4 days was immaculate and the fact that you can transfer profiles at the time was great searching for HC weapons was tedious but fun i miss thoes days
All of the SAO game sucks unfortunately
2023 y esto es lo mejor que pueden hacer con semejante anime?
el juego no se ve mal, pero claro habra que esperar a jugarlo a ver que tal
I’ve never really played any jrpg’s but I love SAO and wanna try them someday. I’ve heard they’re not the greatest and I tried the Alicization Lycoris demo and honestly I wasn’t a fan but hopefully this changes that
Try Hollow Realization or Fatal bullet
Hollow realization was brilliant but would definitely recommend fatal bullet. Even the DLCs are amazing
Try Fatal bullet
I played alicization lycoris, from what I can tell this has the same combat system and honestly looks like just a reskin with some simple updates
This literally looks like an updated version of the last game
it looks like a sequal 🙄
Okay, here's the problem.
Everyone seems to agree that Fatal Bullet was the best SAO game, because it was. It was developed by Bandai Namco and Dimps, who were also responsible for Xenoverse, Kakarot, the Ninja Storm games, and more.
This game, along with every other SAO game, which most people seem to agree are very average, were developed by a company called Aquria.
You see the problem?
Let me guess, it’s gonna be hella optimized right… right?! Hopefully better then Alicization Lycoris
Should be they have a PS5 version
may be hella optimized or whatever but if they do the same shit as AL then it's not really worth paying to play this game, i went back to hollow fragment and when i saw the quality of animation i was so fucking disappointed ... an other example would be tales of arise, both the anime and cgi cutscenes/cinematics look insanely good where AL looked garbage from start to finish with maybe 4 "good" animated scenes
Honestly, we said that about Death Bullet to Lycoris, so. My expeditions are low lol
Why are you clowns even here watching this trailer? All you do is complain. There was never anything wrong with lycoris or any of the other games. I preordered lycoris on the original Xbox one and the only issue I had with it was the loading times. I bet you’re the same people who were complaining chapter 1 at the cathedral was too difficult forcing them to make it easier and add lightplay mode lmao
@@KazutoK007 lycoris was way to easy, what u talking about, the Game was not optimized enough and thats it… I loved to play the Game with my friend but that lagging bullshit was annyoing
we need open world character customization unique skills. Running in circles with anime games not giving the consumers what they truly want
@@youtubeisracistx I did it’s just not what anyone wants
I'm looking forward to this
I really dont know why there is always a character costumization. Its a story about SAO with Kirito, Asuna an co. and not some dude with a different hairstyle and face -.-
I love SAO games and I'd love to get my hands on more, so far I only own Lost Song, Hollow Realization, and Fatal Bullet. That said, it's kind of sad to see such an important chapter of the SAO Gameverse be depicted so lazily, the graphics look like they haven't evolved a bit, even though on steam they have a higher recommended requirement GPU than a lot of AAA games. The UI looks like it could be polished and modernized a little bit, although it does pay homage to the classic JRPG style I think it makes the game look obsolete even before launch. I do really hope that the enemy diversity and both the plot and combat come through to make this a great game as I'm looking forward to it nonetheless.
Cant be the only person sick of kirito. Really wish they took a page from fatal bullets book
Finally someone said it! 🤣
What's wrong with kirito? He's awesome!
The story is about Kirito, it's not SAO without him.
@@donovan6564 kirito isnt needed for a good story. Infact he waters it down by being more or less unbeatable.
@@nasirbone979 Yeah ok, whatever. Kirito hater's are always funny to see with their copes.
Welp, time to add this to my collection
or you should say.. ''Recollection'' jk
If only they could make an SAO game on par with Hollow Realization that game was peak SAO gameplay
Please make an DLC with Moon Cradle Arc and Dark Emperor Arc after War of Underworld arc (With Sylvie, the new protagonist in Dark Emperor arc), like in Unleash Blading game. Also DLC characters like: Nergius Synthesis Sixteen, Entokia Synthesis Eighteen, Eydis and her sister, Dakira Synthesis Twenty-two and the other three of the Four Oscillation Blades, Selka, Rilpilin, Sachi, Yuna, Eiji, Eugene, Recon, Sakuya, Alicia Rue, Moonphase, Mei Mei Xiang and Sleeping Knights. Would be TOP if you can make a DLC with original characters of Integral Factor, Progressive and Variant Showdown: Sanya, Mito, Kizmel, Koharu and Layla. And GGO characters DLC like: Pitohui, Llenn, Fukaziroh, SHINC characters, M, Dyne, Musqueteer X, Spiegel, Behemoth and Yamikaze.
Please, make the best SAO game. Praying to see that in Last Recollection.
Is that Alicization Lycoris with all DLC and maybe some new stuff? or a new game with a new story/characters?
From what I can tell it's a brand new game/sequel. I thought the same thing when it was first revealed.
It’s technically a new game, but considering how basically all the characters, assets, and the entire combat system seem to be ripped straight from Lycoris, it may as well just be an expansion.
great gotta play as kirito and no playable female, I wanna imerse myself in the sao universe but i want it to be my story and not centered around kirito and his friends
For owning all of the sao games. I can't wait! Hell yeah! :D
The only thing I really do like about SAO is how amazing the hud is. (I really do hope we can switch huds, I know Sword Art Online Alicization has the same hud)
@@iV.o7 Hollow fragment is the best one imo (You continue onwards from floor 77)
Alicization Lycoris is 2nd best, I really like it
Fatal bullet (I like the gameplay but story wise is aight)
Hollow realization is pretty neat but it's kinda tough to figure out
Don't bother with lost song or accel word (Unless your a hardcore fan) Get these games last If only your very curious about them.
I would say, Get hollow fragment for your first sao game then get fatal bullet or realization or maybe Alicization
There is another sao game but that was out for a long time, It was only just a mobile game, Integral Factor. That game is one of the absolute best because you make your own character and it has every single floor
@@iV.o7 Your welcome! Have fun playing them!
^w^
Btw, There is a map called Project Aincrad that is fun! It's not very good yet but you can still battle monsters and explore
@@iV.o7I'd actually say hollow fragment then fatal bullet alicization is kinda mid to me i never finished it because it felt stale
So its like hollow fragment and hollow realization where you can customise kirito but your still going to be treated as him
Put the option of making your own character, if you're putting player customization. It's STUPID to alter Kirito's look and appearance.
Are the animations at the end from the anime? I dont remember the trio alive together at the gate in the anime? And the purple knight with white hair aswell, whats going on? Is this game related or are the footage from a season I havent watched? I remember Eugeo dying and Kirito being immobile during the underworld war
nah they were made for this game
Slightly faster combat then Alicization. I like it.
As cool as this is, they should have gone the route of making your own character like you could in Fatal Bullet, considering characters from it (Kureha, Zeliska and even Itsuki) are in it and the ArFA-Sys is mentioned (your Fatal Bullet character's maybe???)
The Character Customization here looks good but is wasted on Kirito who has his distinct looks as the Black Swordsman. And considering this is a new story of the War of Underworld the potential here for a CaC was perfect. Especially if anyone played Fatal Bullet and could transfer the look of their GGO character, minus costume of course, over to add to the fact you have been going with the cast for some time and a great ally in the fight.
It's no doubt too late to do that but. You wasted big potential here. I do wish the game the best.
I wish they made the game in the art style of variant shadow. Maybe in the future.
Looking good for a mobile game!
Makes me wish they'd give Dot Hack another chance. Then we could get a new Protagonist.
Exactly Infection to Quarantine NEED a PS4/PS5 port.
As someone who was addicted to SAO games (played Infinity Moment English Patch, Hollow Fragment Asia English version, Re:Hollow Fragment, Lost Song *online was so fun on this game*, Hollow Realization, Fatal Bullet, and Accel World vs SAO….. i stopped being an SAO fan and never played anymore after that
bandai i KNOW U CAN SEE THIS. PLS BRING SAO TO VIRTUAL REALITY ALREADY X0!!!!!!! the meta quest headset is already adopted in mass and meta quest 3 comes out this winter. PLSSSSSSSSSSS partner with meta, bundle it with their new quest 3 headset, and itll sell tons of systems based off the game alone!! i realize this is the europe division, relay it to NA if ya can. Thank you in adv!!!! also quest 3 has mixed reality, soooo an official sao game utilizing that could be really cool!!!
Cool game SWORD ART ONLINE HAPPY 😁🎉💯% 🌟🌟🌟🌟 🥇😆👏👏👏
Look at this point, I can't deal with game version of Kirito anymore.
I know, I know. He's the shows protagonist and all that. But you gotta admit, the game portrays his ass like he Jesus or something, like there's no absolute flaw about him. I see him as the perfect guy that gets all the ladies and still games, which I'm sorry to say is the most unrealistic thing since Kayaba's "Funny, I don’t even remember it anymore."
I liked F.B. much more as a game (Shocker I know.) Because you don’t play as Kirito but rather a friend that gradually gets to know him. You have your own unique story built around a unique enviorment.
And I absolutely loved it.
Here? It's same ol Kirito show about Kirito saving everyone and is never wrong and those who question his good hearted will is an irredemable enemy (unless you're a woman) that must be destroyed.
... Also how dare they introduce Player Customization for an already established character, that's like them saying "Look we wanna make you the protagonist... but this is Kirito's story, sooooo... Cope I suppose."
the game could be with free stuff where you explore and play to get it, not like the games you pay to get an op item
Quick question, will Asuna be a playable character?
Final you can see the sword sheathing on your character
I hope it's on Nintendo's next console.
I say 'next' console because Bandai Namco are awful at optimising games for the Switch (like SAO Alicization Lycoris), despite more demanding games running well on the Switch.
FINALLY
So like, should i play through the dlcs for Lycoris ? I beat the main story and i know the forget me not sword is from the dlc, but do i need to know the dlc story before i play this ?
Is playable with keyboard and mouse?
SAO so famous, should have a lot of money, why the games so last gen??
The honest is answer is because people will buy it anyway due to the name/brand. Still these last few SAO games have improved a fair bit from the previous games, but only just enough to make them look passable.
@@Chibi_Rikka still feels last gen, i'll buy once it reached the level of tales of arise and ff7 remake
Bacause bandai is so lazy to all in on their game
@@muhammadhamiz7318 Probably gonna be another 5-10 years before SAO games reach that level, if ever.
i wouldn't even say last gen, i would say they look more like Xbox 360/PS3 era. Last gen was graphics like Fatal bullet, which is still miles ahead of the graphics here and that released back in 2018.
Is this a dlc from Sao Alczation
If only one of their SAO Games would look great.. But it is too much to ask for.
At least i wont need a microwave after downloading this game on my phone
Looks like that they are using the same engine since PSP
fatal bullet 2 plz or a game where im not a kirito clone
No Collectors Edition 🥺
Is this the same style of fighting as FF14 ?
No, it's more action based.
won't it come out for nintendo switch?
does the game have muiltplayers?
Getting for the coop
if you're going to roll over for nintendo switch
O my goooooood PLEASE put dreads in the game. Like please. It would be so much better if we got black people hairstyles. Like straight haired textures are not the only ones one this earth. Its really not that hard. Ill buy a dreadlock hairstyle if i have to. And look into dreadlock hairstyles. Don't just make them look like cheeto puffs please.
😈🔥🤘⚡
Sry, but I'm not feeling this one. Think I'm gonna wait a while. Also, do they know they are releasing this in October? October???
When are you guys going to make your SAO games with the English Cast???? I would have every game but guess you alienate the US fans.
Saya tak sabar untuk memainkan game SAO LR
❤ Kirito in anime 🥰,
But game mechanic 😅
It's good.
I highly doubt this will be truly THE Last Recollection.
i would have liked to have seen a turn based one to be honest the gameplay of these games never grabbed me
This game looks sick but heyy….where’s our bag boy and our yellow raincoat girl at. When are y’all planning to make lil nightmares 3?
Am I the only one who thinks it looks like a play 1 game?
the game mechanics are a tad difficult to understand. one of them being the skill connect thing. the only sao game which felt intuitive to me is GGO
Nice
I’m buying that mannnnnn
I hope the quest mapping, invisible walls and terribly boring dialogue get fixed.
Okay this time please make it good it’s not that hard it’s pretty much the subject of the anime -life in video game -JRPG
Finally a good sao game.The only one problem still the graphic
I honestly am wanting to love the games from this series but aside from Fatal Bullet, everything else is a meh
GUYS WE WANT AINCRAD, da hell is so difficult to understand that?!
Idk why they don't just make a sao fatal bullet 2 this shit gonna be ass and dead so imma just say it go back to sao fatal bullet only valid sao game 😂
exactly this, just make a fatal bullet 2 or another game that is a continuation of that story (for example it could take place in ALO, SA:O or hell even underworld)
One more girl joining Kirito's harem lmao ;D Jokes aside this game seems dope
Finally no more acc stat
Yes there putting see able weapons on my or kirito back it a nitpick but i like seeing my weapons on me
yuuki pls come！
👍👍👍👍👍😊😊😊
Can we get more male clothes😮💨
Why are the graphics still nearly the same as their previous games? Sao AL was a bit disappointing. It's been a long time now, when can they actually make a decent Sao game? graphic quality and content-wise that would look like it was actually released in 2023, not 2009 lol.
is this ffXVI
🪶🥷🏾Excellent!!👊🏿✨
Almost looks like Fatal Bullet with much better graphics, and no guns.
Let me guess… Not multiplayer right
why isnt this a hack and slash like scarlet nexus
Wait, you took the same engine, horrible controls, poor graphics with animations, an empty world and slightly interpreted the ending? And you want to release this in 2023? Guys, Lycoris was a complete failure on all fronts, look at the level of Hollow Realization after all and think hard, seriously. It's just a mockery of the community.
This game looks like code vein that is a Ps4
Maior bait da minha vida quando vi que a bandai tinha registrado essa trademark do "Last Recollection" jurava que ia ser um Remake de .Hack//IMOQ ou remaster, mas só é a porcaria de um jogo do Sword Art Online.
Yeah! Let's buy another 70$ PS3 Game that looks exactly like the one before (AL) and I bet feels also clunky as hell.
Didn't like AL at all!
HR was amazing as well as FB.
Ever heard of a sequel?
Most sequels look the same
@@Kojikeefy what I wanted to say is, that this looks exactly as BAD as Alicization Lycoris. I am fully aware that it is a sequel 😀
@@philippf5594 it does look bad tbh fatal bullet was so much better
No acc stat xD it's already better than lycoris
looks better than lycoris. i hope the story will be better too, medinas story was boring and predictable af.
