Something I appreciate is that they're really taking into consideration feedback from players and what improvements can be made in order to deliver the best game possible. If there are lootboxes and battle passes then I wouldn't be really surprised if it's F2P either, it's a good way to gather a lot of players. Hopefully just cosmetics though... And speaking of characters, I'm wondering if they'll do "alternate versions" of existing characters, with a new design, weapon and moveset. Like, we already have Sinon with her GGO look and weapon, but I wonder if they could make another Sinon with her Alfheim Online design and a bow with a completely different gameplay/moveset, for exemple. F2P games, especially when they're very character-based, tend to do that. At least that's a possibility in the long run if the game receives long support.
Will there be fully offline single player story mode? Or will it be “offline” story mode with an internet connection requirement? I saw online that they’re adding “offline story mode” but idk if it’s going to be like Dragon Ball The Breakers where story mode is “offline” but with an internet connection requirement
Currently, as far as we know, it's an "offline" story mode. The online server check was straight on the start menu in the beta, although Beta also did not have the story mode either.
The one thing I do wonder is how the matchmaking will work, because I can't really tell with the footage I've seen. Would it be possible for say 8, 12 16 or 20 friends grouping up in two to five different party in the same lobby? It would be a good selling point and I really consider gifting copies of the game to a few people if so.
That is actually something on my mind as well. In the beta, we were only allowed to have a pre-made of 4, so a single party. I really hope the full game will expand that to a full 20, so if we have enough friends (sad noises), we should be able to make an entire lobby on our own. Otherwise, its a big missed opportunity.
There is Bandai Namco branches in the US and the UK and plenty of other countries/regions. I live in Austria, so my correspondence falls under the Germany branch.
I'd expect something like early October. But the clear date of Aincrad is right there as a huge promotional opportunity in November. Both expectations are completely baseless though.
Happy that they aren’t doing loot boxes. After the taste the cube left in my mouth I’m just glad FD doesn’t have a monetization scheme that sucks. Also glad to see that FD seems to be around the corner. For the first time since HR I have faith that this game will turn out great
Would be nice if they fix the ai for the computer companions. In the last beta it was common to have over half a lobby be ai companions and it was a full on garunteed lost. The ai not only barely shot the enemy, but they would just roll around your downed body and not even try to revive. So in the end if you got downed it was a garunteed death and if your lobby had at least 3-4 ai you basically lost the fight. The ai in Fatal Bullet was even better than this and that is not saying much,.
As covered in the actual developer update (the previous video linked via cards), they did cover the AI behavior, specifically the ignoring revives. They had already found the cause, but could not issue the update in time for the Beta. It will be fixed in the full release. Though to be frank, you really should not be losing with just 3-4 AIs in the lobby. I could consistently clear missions with only 6-7 human players in the lobby.
These are a lot of good news! The controller remapping news is rather sad however, but it sounds like everything else is starting to fix up nicely! I still worry about the monetization however, F2P would make it more "palatable" I suppose, but I still worry. I trust games like Final Fantasy XIV because it gets its money through subscriptions and its store while also maintaining a free trial for a large amount of the game. With money coming in, the team are less inclined to put in shady practices as a whole, it's also probably how Helldivers 2 survives because besides being a good game, it has actually good battlepasses that don't expire, and its store prices aren't ridiculous. I'm glad lootboxes aren't a thing anymore but considering how out of style they are I'm also not surprised. I'm more hoping if they do go F2P that they don't use it as an excuse to sell everything ever, F2P can work for something like Fortnite but this game isn't on that level. At least if people buy it, money will go in and at the least we can expect some level of traditional content instead of gating off everything as a purchase. I just hope at some point they can share some details on the model because to me, this game is shaping up to be fantastic but if the monetization is predatory or just intrusive, that could hurt the momentum in an otherwise great game. Games need to make money I know, but we have plenty of industry examples on how to do that right.
I really hope its not a case of subscriptions tbh and I don't think it will be. Imo, the core gameplay should be free to access. Battle Pass, character shop, cosmetic shop, as long as they are straightforward and honest systems, Im game for them. I mean, I can see a character shop option. If they have plans to expand roster in the future, even something like 1-2 new characters per quarter and 1-2 character variants (like Stacia Asuna as a new character) would fill that character shop quite fast. That's why I gave League as an example.
@@Gamerturk Yeah I just want them to have it be a 40-60$ game, the subscription thing was mostly me just putting FF14 alongside something FTP in nature but it does better as a result because there's money going into the game and not the case of they have to make up the costs in any possible way. I can agree to free to access as long as the monetization isn't too aggregious, but I'm always extremely skeptical of those systems and just don't want a good game to get put down by some boneheaded decisions from the higher ups. I definitely see them having SAO/ALO/GGO Kirito for example along with the other characters in future, I'm partly excited since it gives so much potential but I just hope it won't be too aggressive. I don't know League's shop too well other than the example you posted(they're free on rotation but you can pay to keep them), but if the pricing isn't too bad and the standard roster is very substantial then it could be a good time. I just want FD to be as good as it can be because that CBT was a really fun experience! I'm looking forward to more news from you though, and I hope the devs are actually looking at your videos because we need FD to really shine, and you're a great person to help with that! :)
Integral Factor does not suck at all imo. But I still share what can be improved about the game every single month. It's in my Dead Game Report series.
@@Gamerturk ngl the combat system kinda suck to me,the character avatar customize,and im pissed at Bandai not allowed more than love interest options beside Koharu or the bed scene if you know what I mean I like the game really I been playing this game for 5 years,is it I expect more improvements from the game not just some new type of skills and weapons
They did not have an issue with it during the Beta. The first day, it was just disabled and they told nobody it was disabled. But the remaining days, it was smooth sailing. They just need to iron out the delivery of certain invites and how invites are handled in game, but otherwise, it was actually fine.
To be frank, while the game looked great, it was a Battle Royale. Battle Royale market is already too saturated and there is a significant group who doesn't even like PvP or BR for that matter. A specific anime series focused BR just makes you too niche, when something like Fortnite is already having popular anime collabs and the like. The only way I see an anime BR reasonably working is a collective one that features numerous popular anime.

Releasing soon!!! Though I am quite happy they are taking their time to address all concerns and feedback.
We have a date?
@@nickjordan8996I wasn’t aware either xD
I can’t wait for this game to come out.
yesss more news, im so excited :)

As mentioned under the header, the producer explicitly ruled out Loot Boxes.
@@Gamerturk Ah, great then!
The characters are looking great in these selection screens! Some sort of photo mode and model viewer wouldn't go amiss...
I Hope it catch me Like Fatal Bullet or Hollow Realization
Will there be fully offline single player story mode? Or will it be “offline” story mode with an internet connection requirement? I saw online that they’re adding “offline story mode” but idk if it’s going to be like Dragon Ball The Breakers where story mode is “offline” but with an internet connection requirement

Great news!! FD lets go!
Thanks you gamerturk reviews games
what do you think the release would be August? September? maybe q4? I know we dont know bc they didnt say im just wandering everybody's opinions
Completely baseless assumption, but it would not surprise me if they are aiming for November 7. I personally expect earlier though.
Hope this game out on october early like last sao games

And thinking about content creators too, it would allow for viewer lobbies with a room code system.
Because you mentiond Lisa from Bandai Namco Germany i got a question if there is no Bandai Namco in the US or UK?
There is Bandai Namco branches in the US and the UK and plenty of other countries/regions. I live in Austria, so my correspondence falls under the Germany branch.
would they really do another Beta
What would you say the release window would be with the game being pretty much done?
I'd expect something like early October. But the clear date of Aincrad is right there as a huge promotional opportunity in November.
Both expectations are completely baseless though.
@@Gamerturk I have just seen an Amazon listing for SAOFD and it says that it will release December 31st 2024
@@sirsonicseviour2291 It's the typical placeholder date for products that do not have a release date.

"Around the corner" may be a stretch. More like their complete build with full featureset is around the corner.

Part of me worried it’d be delayed to early 2025.
As long as nothing super natural happens, it’ll be here soon?
They sound quite confident that everything is going on track. And tbh, it was one of the most solid beta experiences I had.
I think it will be more like what they did with Fatal Bullet and GGOA and release around the same time.

@@Gamerturk Eh. I try.
Dont we all :')
Would be nice for the game to have some English voice acting.
Just like the DLC of Tales of Arise.
