    Can't believe you've played it with JP dub. One of the main feature of r1999 is having an actually decent and sometimes really good english dub, and the story is actually interesting to listen to, instead of defaulting to turning voices off completely or ignoring the weird anime blabbering, like I usually do.

      the english dub was also recorded first for this game. thats why all of the chinese promotional videos have used the english dub even before global was announced. english has always been the intended language for this game.

    Never in my life did I think I'd willingly choose the ENG dub for a game like this but it's really quite fantastic and adds some flavour to the game. I actually feel quite bad for people who didn't get to hear Schneider's ENG VA. Sara Alexander absolutely popped off in her portrayal.

    The game is good and all, but one thing to note here: the game is one of the gacha games that gives a solid English VA in majority of the script. They are some hiccups here and there (like Sonetto not being expressive enough in her voicelines) but then, it still reels me in with this game fr. Whats more, some have different dialects too.

    So the gameplay is just card battles between visual novel segments, there's nothing else? Any side quests/stories? Besides of course menu gameplay, with gacha, leveling, etc and resource (auto)farming to do more menu stuff.
    Seems like a great visual novel to watch though sometime, though, with the gameplay cut out.

    • @gaoaibai6243
      @gaoaibai6243 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Short answer: Yes but also no.
      Long answer: the game does have mini-puzzles, problem-solving shenaningans and secret contents think Arknights but you have to manually write stuffs instead of doing certain things to unlock (aka you read the story, see a number and write them into a blank box when it does come up).
      So if you are looking for an entire different gamemode like RTA in E7, or some absurd shits like Co-op in Genshin then yeah R1999 is just not for you. The game DOES NOT have any sorts of PVP whatsover in any form if you are in it to flex your account then don't bother, because the only place people can see your whale stuffs is... on social media.

    let's be real. reverse 1999 is basically just a visual novel with a cpl of side mini games and a gacha system. the true gameplay of reverse 1999 is micromanagement. there's no real gameplay here. even the combat itself feels like a mini game there's no real "strategy" involved in combat imo
    no deck building or such things, because incantation cards are RNG. speed is a non-existent concept, because you'd always go first. just build your characters, get better stats and you'd steamroll everything, because every harder levels so far are just DPS check. yes, even the limbo levels of artificial somnambulism.
    farming is a pain in the ass because how scarce the energy needed with its eternally slow regen. to make it worse, most materials drops from levels are RNG. even if i did pay money for energy, it'll all gone in like 5 minutes
    ps: i got to level 33 and have spent a cpl of dollars on the game, so i have the confidence to say that i know how the game works at least on a surface level. this definitely a biased take, but that's just my personal opinion of the game. the game does have gorgeous art direction, but the core gameplay is still lacking for my taste

    • @normalpair

      the game feels like modern version fgo tbh. it's straight forward and meant to be story based game, the charm point of this game also story delivery, voiceover, lore influenced by real life event. for any lore enjoyer, definitely top 3 pick. can't really sweaty on this game, tough you can if you want to but feels wasting time to sweating the game
      tbf pretty much every turnbased gacha game is dps check, unless something like atelier series game (paid game) where you must craft item to buff, debuff or attack and the items depends on your playstyle

      Random cards will definitely force you to make tougher decisions with very limited options, but that's not strategy. The RNG is the only thing that makes the combat feels "strategic" despite it having no real strategic approach. The only thing you need to do is just simply mix matching to fit the puzzle, deploying team comps with the right counter elements and well built DPS, Support, and Sustain units
      And also, you'd always go first so it doesn't really matter. Especially if u have more than enough combat power to kill every enemies even before they have the chance to attack you

      @@Christian-CTDC for me, good turn based games should offer various tactics to approach combat. not simply just out damage your way out every levels. take speed approach for example, which is something that usually presents in a turn based combat games. speed related stats is important because it'll dictate the flow and pacing of combat, something that this game doesn't have. the game has some interesting mechanics like poison status that deals damage on each turn and stays for a certain number of turns, but the game often encourages you to finish the battle with less turns. which is basically the current meta in the game rn
      the only thing that has some form of speed related mechanic or something similar in this game is merging your cards often to gain full bar moxie to cast ultimate faster. or someone like An-an Lee's that has a passive skill which will let her gain higher star skill incantation card every 2 turns automatically
      if the combat will always let you move first, you'd just need to out damage the enemies and kill them before their turn or anticipate every incoming attacks with any form of sustain related skills. it takes time and a lot of grinding, but there will be a point where u should've already built your units in a more ideal state. but once you got there, it'll even be more easier to play the combat. you just need to set up your team line up with the right afflatus that fits the puzzle

    Spoilers alert: THEY ARE! 5 stars in this game are trash mostly in CN 6 stars are the way to go because they are broken (some of them) and fundamentally changes how the game is to be played, namely Tooth Fairy and Changeling.
