I've finally completed another JRPG after a long hiatus. The only problem?
It's an SAO game. And it's surprisingly good.
Funny thing is when they divert from the main cast and gameplay is when SO MUCH MORE PEOPLE LOVE IT.
If only they weren't so obsessed with their self-insert character and their harems...
People wants to be a part of SAO universe with their own unique character, not play as one of the already existing god awful characters they have on anime.
@@doombloomers9609I really wish Japanese anime wasn't so obsessed about harems, I really hate the idea of them. And like you have to romance so many people to get the good ending, but I don't want to romance anyone. Especially not bazalt joe of all people.
I hated it, JRPGs don't have created characters for a reason, its a shooter for christ sakes, and a very low quality one at that
@@nargacuga4597name one other JRPG series that used created characters instead of fleshed out characters?
Great video! This game deserves more respect in my eyes than many give it JUST because it’s a SAO game
I agree! Dimps' style is one that works extremely well and deserves more attention.
That Keanu reference alone was knee slapping. Earned a sub 😂
I hope that Bamco can return to this SAO style game.
I’d pay the full $60 if they made a sequel to this.
@@PizzaDadagreed
Unfortunately fatal bullet was a low quality shooter with a silent created character instead of using fleshed out characters like most JRPGs
I would love to see Bamco explore the idea of an actual SAO MMO. They already have the SAO: Integral Factor mobile mmo which is pretty good... for what it is. What I would do to fight through the 100 floors of Aincrad one at a time in an open world style game with my own created character.
The cost and risk is too high, they barely have a budget for these games. It would be a costly flop.
Oh, so about the questing in FB: You're really supposed to accept all of the quests for an area in a single go, then go into the area and thoroughly explore it all in 1-2 trips. As long as you're combing the entire map, and killing every enemy listed as a quest enemy when you see them, you won't have to go back and forth. Normally, you can complete the side quests as a consequence of just playing the game, which makes it a much more streamlined experience. (Except for player bounty quests, which you can't do all at once. Thanks DIMPS.)
Also, Lycoris branches off from Alicization fairly deep in, around the mid point of alicization. From there it's actually pretty different, mostly focusing on the new girl Medina, who's... actually decently written, surprisingly enough. Mediocre game itself, but damn do I love her storyline. I only say this as a mild correction.
I appreciate it! I had no clue that Lycoris diverged that much or even had an original character.
Nobody liked Kirito mode😂
I actually kinda did...
Can't wait to have a third person MMO rpg with PvE/PvP with build customization like Skyrim/D&G that may have unique, one of a kind items and quests
Fatal bullet would be an even more amazing game if they just gave it a version 2.0 update that would make a few UI changes, add a new multiplayer mode, fix some ability glitches, Balance out some weapons in the game, and a few other things. I have a list of things that I think would actually improve the overall gameplay flow. Also they need to add a no-cutscenes option for it. DLC4 is horrible gameplay wise since you can never go more than 10 minutes without having a cutscene thrown in your face(kills the speed running ability for it as well)
Great review Bandai Namco will most like get back Dimps For "Fatal Bullet 2 " when season 4 of the anime comes out cause Sao went BR after Alice
I'm hoping for more games like this and Attack on Titan 2. Alot of anime have so much potential for games like this. Great video!!
"The game just change colors of the model enemies for showing different difficulties"
- Final fantasy franchise starts sweating...
8:02 Yes, the animes suck, but a shooter/rpg anime game with character creation is a great ideia!
I think SAO is one of the best animes of all time, but anime is art and art is subjective, it's the same with games, I think Fatal Bullet is one of the worst JRPGs I've ever played, the story was horribly written, heck even Accel World vs Sword Art Online had a better story
I hope one day they make a game like this for the alo world that’s multiplayer and the only time the actual characters show up is for events or something and the actual game is whatever u want it to be
Id love to see another sao game by dimps, fatal bullet is amazing, also ive legit watched the review like 4-5 times and i still love it
Thank you so much! You legit just made my Christmas. Glad that you enjoy the vid so much!
@@PizzaDad anytime lad, hope you have a wonderful christmas
There's a reason Aquria permanently got the SAO license, their SAO games just sold much better than Dimps's SAO games did, both HR and AL sold better than FB, FB is a low quality shooter with the most bare bones story in the franchise, and thats saying a lot
As someone who actually enjoys the other SAO games as much as this one, I believe Fatal Bullet was more experimental than anything, and it goes both ways. While Dimps captured a very accurate representation of what GGO would play as, what failed is that the "tradition" Aquria established with Infinity Moment didn't really translate into a shooter. Sure, the compliment system, bed scenes, and affection levels were THERE, but I can understand those who actually like to be in Kirito's POV in that it felt like a huge departure from what an SAO game ought to be. At least...that's what I observe.
I know SAO's reputation stinks thanks to everyone beating on the dead horse since 2012, but I still am a fan of the show in spite of it. I'm perfectly fine with those who dislike it, and I can still understand where they're coming from. That being said, I personally think the games are meant to be enjoyed in their appropriate context. I can't speak on behalf of everyone, though.
I don't understand people who hate sao. Especially fatal bullet as a game, it's amazing to play as someone else in the sao universe (even if it's way different from what actually happened) and talk to kirito. The guns are great too but the only thing I hate is the steps for the true ending. It's more like a call of duty zombie Easter egg than anything.
I haven't actually beaten it yet also do I have to ONLY beat death gun to complete kirito mode?
@@PrincesSwrlx People have opinions; it's just that the loudest and angriest people who have critical perspectives tend to spread that negativity like wildfire, transforming it into a bandwagon as a result. Not that it really matters to me; my goal is just to enjoy what I like, regardless of how popular it is to piss on the show.
As for beating Kirito Mode; yes, you have to win every battle and defeat Death Gun. That's one of the many requirements to get the true ending, on top of the whole completing one of the bad endings and get all the original characters' affinity level to 4. Just worry about getting either bad ending; you have more than enough time to complete the other steps.
I just recently got this game on my switch for like $5 on a sale. I am really sad I didn’t find it sooner. I played Phantasy Star Online 2 on psp as a teen, it was my first introduction to any kind of online game. This game feels like that experience all over. Same gameplay loops that I remember, minimal multiplayer but can play with a few friends which is what I did on PSO2. Just really took me back to a game that was such a core memory, so I’m super pleased with it personally. Funniest part, I don’t even watch anime much. Never even seen this show. Lmao.
Its miracle they had a version available on Nintendo switch. I just wish they had another more newer game centered around the Alfheim world because I love games where your character can fly around freely.
i dont even respect sao but this game was pretty good tbh (i skipped like 90% of the dialogue) the music was chill too my only true issue with this game is lazy multiplayer that was probably an afterthought and when you get to like level 100+ it takes AGES to level up even once and the balancing between stages is kinda tough but maybe just cuz it's on the hardest difficulty
I wish Kirito would just get unalived, that would be my favorite game and anime ever.
Except fatal bullet was a low quality shooter that still runs at 30fps on ps5 to this day
Yes Reki is keeping the umm oh yeah 5th best selling light novel series of all time on "life support"
I randomly bought this game when was on sale, MAN EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME IS SOO GOOD, the plasma swords, the guns, the customization. I love it shows the bullet paths of enemies and can auto lock on targets.
i just started this game today and no lifed 7 hours, it’s an awesome looter shooter and addicting AF.
Fatal bullet is more fun then the other games i mean hollow realizations was good but i was tired of playing as kirito even a mobile game had me more hooked (if you looked sao up on the app store or google play you would know what i'm talking about) i wish more sao games were like these games
Needles to say that game is great, the mechanics mesh greatly, the story is also great but not without the canon reverting holes which is not bad but still noticable even in the gameverse, but it struck out a question of why makes SAO - its characters from the main season or its setting that is even in the Anime has many flows and illogic. Of which the latter that saves SAO as a whole their characters and as seen in S1 adn the Aliciazation arc due to the fatal flaws of its story and yet the characters are what saved this holed story and lore. Yet I still stand by saying this is a great SAO game and also great review by the way, while still lacking what for me is the should of SAO their original character ( Only self-opinion)
If I'll be honest, this is the only SAO game I've finished. I played Hollow Realization, Lost Song, Alicization Lycoris, and now Last Recollection but I just can't finish them because I can't get immersed in the story since I'm playing the same people that I've played in the past games.
Yes, that's how a lot of JRPG series work, plus Fatal Bullet had the worst story in the SAO gaming franchise
As someone who loves the hell out of Freedom wars migth buy this
It’s hella worth it so long as you stay out of the multiplayer until you clear the story and dlc
I WAS ACTUALLY SITTING ON THE COUCH LIKE I JUST SAT ON IT 😭
I would buy it again if it was dubbed with more customization
Considering you can make your avatar an approximation of sephiroth’s appearance. Yes! Best game!
Literally the only JRPG I've played where I could create my own character and I still hated it, low quality shooters don't make good JRPGs
This game on sale for the switch right now for 10 bucks what a steal.
I played alicization lycoris it wasnt good it followed the story but not fully
Yeah, I meant to make a video on Alicization Lycoris after making this one. Ended up scrapping it due to how boring that game really is. But, after the announcement of Last Recollection, I did want to make some sort of video on it.
I enjoyed AL and LR a lot more than FB, they were actual JRPGs with normal weapons, FB is just a low quality shooter with the worst story in the franchise
The only issue I have with the game is how small the world spaces are. For an RPG the overworld is very small, if you took Skyrim and only confined yourself to only the Island of Solstheim you would still have a larger world space to explore and play in than each of the world spaces in Fatal Bullet. Hoping they make a game that fixes that but other than that I do enjoy this game.
Man i loved this game so much that i bought it again
I would rather has a freedom wars 2 game then them trying a sao title again. Freedom wars has a way better story and fluid movement and fighting. I know we won't get it but get a million sao games , but I feel like freedom wars should be brought back .
This aged well
And now, with Last Recollection, they did the same BS again. Leaving character customization for the multiplayer and force you to play the main cast. Haven't they realized that people love the SAO universe? Not the actual cast? CC for the main campaign of a SAO game is the best feature a SAO game can have. SAO Last Recollection is a letdown. I hope that they learn from AoT2 where you can be your own CC and play along the story with the main cast with additional characters just like with Kureha and Zeliska and a first person cutscene. Oh of course, and the yandere gay boyfriend, Itsuki.
99% of JRPGs don't feature CCs for a reason, you can't flesh out a CC in a good clean way, pre designed characters always make for better JRPGs
Glad to see a review on this game. Probably the only SAO game I'll ever play (other than that Integral Factor mobile game but ive quit playing that), unless Dimps gets their chance to do even better.....(or unless they make a new customizable character for the protagonist, my standards may be a bit low lol)
My biggest gripe with this game isnt Kirito mode, but the DLCs. Specifically the first 3. They all dont add much at all, just "go to area youve been to before, go into dungeon, cutscene cutscene, kill boss, cutscene, end of dlc buy the next one, dick head."
The only time this is different is at the end of the third, where (spoilers btw) Yui talks to you in your room and tells you she needs some materials to help Lievre in her self-repair mode. To get these materials, you have to.....FIGHT THE SAME FUCKING BOSS IN THAT DLC OVER AND OVER????? And even after getting all of those materials, it's just you two leaving, someone comes in, and leaves a cliffhanger until the expansion. Actually, now that i think about it, the person controlling Lievre was never interacted with in the story, just in like two cutscenes.
Funny enough, i actually love the expansion DLC, but just because it actually adds so much stuff. The expansion literally feels like another half of the game, compared to the other DLCs. You get a whole new area (idk what they're called, they're with the Solitary Sands and the Old South) called "The White Frontier", a very snowy place. In this DLC, it uses ALL of the characters you can party up with, along with 3 new characters. It has an actually decent amount of story, as SHOULD be expected from a DLC...actually, after checking, its TEN FUCKING DOLLARS FOR 2 HOURS OF GAMEPLAY, 1 IF YOUVE ALREADY GRINDED BEFORE THE DLC. Anyway, it doesnt really add any new enemies, other than two new bosses, which I'll take.
Im sure im forgetting stuff i want to put in here, but if i remember it ill edit it in this comment, but overall, i really, REALLY love Fatal Bullet, and want another game like it.
You've earned a sub goof sir
they just need to make an mmorpg
I 100 percent agree that Kirito Mode is by far the worst part of the game.
I liked millenium Twilight the best though. It has an original storyline, great gameplay, and lot of characters that you can use
honestly if they just made a vr sword art online, i'd be happy
I'm glad I just watched a video 😂i got everything i needed from it
The switch version of fatal bullet keeps crashing.
I just got the game yesterday and didn’t realize there was endings. I already know I’m not going to bother getting the true ending. I genuinely don’t understand how it matters. Could someone also explain why I should care if someone (k or z) dies in the game? Do they die in real life or something?
Yes
Alicization basically season 3 and 4 where actually good in my op
Hollow realization was actually pretty damn good
Yea it was much better than this trash shooter masquerading as a JRPG, SAO games are usually low quality but FB was a new low
A full on GGO game would be great
Just so everyone is aware of the facts... YOU DON'T HAVE TO PLAY KIRITO MODE TO GET TRUE ENDING! I got the true ending on both Xbox and PC without touching Kitrito mode... Whoever it was that claimed that you had to, was either misinformed or straight up BSing...
Ois 💕💕
It had a great PS4 Community.
Yea all 200 of them lol
To
Definitely best SAO game and no one can change my mind.
Don't care about your mind but it's still the worst SAO game, it was Dimps last SAO game for a reason lol, AL literally sold twice as much copies
@@mathewhosier9739 it’s nice to play a game where you plat as the main character and Kirito sits on the sideline where he belongs.
@@IAmTrash1995 Kirito is the main character of SAO
@@mathewhosier9739 the fans loved the game because it was giving fans what they wanted. A chance to be in the story then being Jesus kun who is a terribly written character
@@mathewhosier9739 don’t care about my mind either.I really hate myself
So "the best" SAO game is a shooter that has a tacked on sword weapon type that feels horrible to use? Ummm no, hollow realization puts fatal bullet to shame, it's an actual real SAO game set in a fantasy setting, 99% of JRPGs have their own fleshed out characters, barely any of them used created characters, created characters is more of a western RPG thing
I dont take anybody who enjoys Clannad seriously
Ois 😘
Tldr; this game is just another generic piece of garbage - appreciate the heads up though. 👍
It's not to bad, main issue in my opinion is the forced romance stuff, and that you can't really pick your own dialogue and actually say what you think.
@Lynnfield3440 the actual gameplay sucks tho, it's just a low quality shooter, real SAO fans don't want shooters
