And I guess if you're into Fate and Senran Kagura, you can be excited for Fate/Extella and its 3 combat trailers.
I am actually really loving stoked for Extella.

Still two servants left to reveal, if my math is right. I wonder who they'd go for. Considering how popular she is and the fact that she was in Fate/Extra, Ryougi is probably going to happen, but iunno who else. Gilles? Diarmuid?

Two more barring any surprise extras they could possibly drop on us. I'd say an FGO rep is gonna be something they absolutely want so Shielder and an Avenger, so maybe Angra or if I'm lucky, Edmond.

it looks pretty alright from what i've seen. at the very least it seems to dodge the two big problems of musou knockoffs, too few enemies and too many gaps between combat.

It's the people who do the Versus games, so they at least are a team that is familiar and can build from prior knowledge and tbh the game looks like a more traditional warriors game and not just SK Versus again.

Arcueid's not even a gag option since she was an actual servant in Extra and they have pulled quite a few from there and only have the one Berserker

I watched that video where Nero fights Tamamo, and the kill and combo counters got extremely high from what looked to be basic combos. The force feedback seems to be pretty good in that regard, but everything looked extremely simple. Extella seems like a fanservice game where you pick your favorite Fate Extra or Fate GO character and just mash Square until the credits roll, which I think is just alright.

e: If Arc is announced, I will preorder it immediately.

Shielder would be fine. JAlter would be seriously cool if they add a Ruler/Avenger class.

As long as they add Scathach I'll be fine. So fun to 1-shot bosses on FGO and a few levels of NP+

I think the cast of Melty Blood would have worked better for this kind of game. Imagine taking Ciel's 7HS and blasting mobs like Nouhime in Sengoku Basara, powering up to Warcueid and unloading on groups like an infinite-Berserker Barrage Wolverine, or opening up Nrvnqsr Chaos's coat and running over people with demon deer. Hell, Len/White Len could work similarly to Himiko in Warriors Orochi.

The cast of Tsukihime owns.

I think there's other branches too like the Aozaki in Mahoutsukai no Yoru. They have the potential for a ridiculously large cast in such games.

The main appeal of this game is that it's a bunch of characters who haven't been playable in an action game before, though. The melty blood cast were, well, in melty blood, so the appeal isn't as strong there.

Yeah, but most Fate characters are really bad now. Like, I'm so excited to play as a cast of Saberfaces and some girls who have less effort put into their design than the most boring of Kancolles.

e: Also, there was Fate/unlimited codes, which wasn't very good but was pretty fun!

de: also also Fate Tiger Colosseum, but maybe that doesn't really count.

Isn't there just Nero and Artoria in Extella that have the saber face? That's not really a lot compared to all the ones that exist (Alter, Bride, etc..)

You know there will be DLC, but yeah, that's true that there's only two, which is one too many. Also, Nero's design is really dumb, because someone thought "Man, she should also wear a dress but you can see the panties from the front."

Also, the best TM character is Riesbyfe, and I will fight you to the death over it.

i like nero's dumb skirt because it's tacky, stupid, weirdly sexual but not in a really appealing way, and is trying way too hard. which all describe nero to a T. it's good character design.

DLC is quite likely if the game sells well (or even day 1 :v: ) but still, more characters is always nice, even if they look like each other. Hopefully they take a bunch from FGO because they have a lot of very nice ones.

It's a weird design choice, and is 100% fanservice for sure, but it works very well with how flamboyant and extravagant Nero Claudius was. That's also pretty mild for someone related to Caligula :p

The Vita process is at least 3 hours to actually play a game. First getting the file (through your own dumps or :filez:,) transfering the game over FTP, then the installer taking half an hour to complete. I can go to Gamestop, get a Chipolte burrito at lunch time, eat in, and still beat that timer. It's really only in competition over the PSN download speeds.

Yeah, PC piracy is a huge deal because it's pretty simple once a game is cracked. You torrent it, you mount the cd image, you install it. Vita piracy is so cumbersome that I can't imagine it biting too badly into sales. Obviously it's a concern but I don't think it'll be the death of an empire.

It's not that much harder on the vita. You torrent the game, use FTP to transfer it to vita and install it. The FTP part just takes a while. You can also manually transfer the :filez: to your Vita using QCMA if you want to do it faster.
