Well, gameplay has never really been his strong suit anyway so I'm down to try it as long as it's not another bullshit gacha game.

Can't wait for cards to beg for mercy or have me think about their children as I'm forced to discard my hand

quote:Taro's team includes others veterans of Nier and Drakengard projects, such as executive director Yosuke Saito, music director Keiichi Okabe and character designer Kimihiko Fujisaka. he's gonna go all in. S-E execs are probably thinking "gently caress it, he made a blockbuster even he expected to fail, let him do things his way"

a trailer of the card game dropped on the latest nintendo switch direct, and it's also coming to ps4 as early as October https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AonH1tPFuS4

There's a demo on the switch too. It's extremely easy so far but it's aesthetic owns and I think it has lots of promise.

That's the coolest card based animation/style I've ever seen so. I'm a sucker for card based RPGs so I'm probably gonna jump right into this one unless the reviews are really bad.

If it's a Yoko Taro (non-gacha) game, I'm gonna get it even if the reviews are bad. I downloaded the demo, it feels very Hand of Fate so far.

It seems really cool. The dialogue, music and aesthetic at least are very Yoko Taro, and I'm glad it's coming so much sooner than I expected.

Before I even knew what it was, the music was so invocative, I was planning to check if they shared some music talent with Neir and then Yoko Taro appears. Can't wait for glitch cards that destroy the very concept of the game. Maybe the hand disappears and the cards start trying to beg for life.

In the demo most of the story seems to be played pretty straight but there's definitely some little glints of weirdness like the narrator playing with the fourth wall and characters contradicting dialogue options you pick.

Also, one of the villagers has the "Welcome to Corneria" bit played as comedy in a way that suggests underlying horror. (The party dynamics also suggest that the heroine is getting kind of fed up with her party, but she isn't saying anything yet.)

The music for most of the demo was good but sounded like really generic fantasy faire. Then the main theme came on with the vocals at the end and I was like, oh poo poo there it is!!!

When I got to the door that you can choose to either push or pull, and it turns out to be a sliding door I knew the magic was there. Also RIP to the gambling hall kid. Nothing happened to him, but he's a young boy with the misfortune of being in a Yoko Taro game.

Taking bets that the full game will turn out to be part of the Nier universe set a few million years after Automata.

He said that this series was not in the Drakengard/Nier continuity, and previously discouraged people from losing their minds trying to piece together some grand metaverse that incorporates SinoAlice in there.

The gameplay in the demo seems really barebones, there wasn't any deck building or draws or anything that made it feel like a card-based game instead of a standard turn-based RPG. The Baten Kaitos style of having the player be a separate character from the party should be interesting if it has that Yoko Taro weirdness involved so hopefully it gets better after the prologue.

Yeah I’m still not in love with the genre (I got excited at the hand of fate comparison but the combat isn’t anything like it at all it seems) but I’ll still buy it on the yoko taro/keiiche okabe cred alone I'll say this though, I simply cannot for the life of me remember the name of this game, i have to google "new yoko taro game" to remind myself every time I want to find something about it Ainsley McTree fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Sep 26, 2021 |

Ok I've played the demo and I'm pumped for it now, seems like it'll be a lot of fun. I really enjoy how they went all-in on the audio/tactile sensation of playing with dice and cards; having literal dice rolls on screen is a very satisfying touch, it feels like playing an actual TTRPG in all the right ways. I was also enjoying the game parlor game until I tried the skills and events rule, then it got too chaotic and frustrating for me; hopefully they don't lock anything too cool behind that, I don't think I'll enjoy playing it. I'm also curious to see where the plot goes, I don't feel like I got a sense of anything too weird from the demo; if anything it was so aggressively generic and bland that it was kind of on the nose, I can only assume that was a deliberate choice

There’s some odd stuff in there, like the character card descriptions being pretty plain and then suddenly there’s the old lady who’s card mentions she has to put up with an abusive husband.

The yoko taro experience was always very much a straight forward thing that slowly unravels into absolutely insane results. Its a slow burn. I except after people buy the actual game the demo is trashed for giving the wrong impression about it.

pentyne posted:The yoko taro experience was always very much a straight forward thing that slowly unravels into absolutely insane results. Its a slow burn. Oh yeah for sure. It's very much "Act 1 of Nier Replicant" vibes, i am under no illusion that the whole game would be like this, I was just curious to see if the demo was going to give a taste of it or not. I don't mind, I was mostly interested in whether the game would be fun, and it reassured me that it will be There was some good humor in it though; I liked the point where the game makes you decide who you think the thief is, and if you pick the "it's a scrawny street urchin" option the barbarian says it and the game says "Wynnifred ignores this, and goes on to say,"

The fisherman is pretty great with how they describe his rock hard pecs twitching in fear. His story card is also funny, so there's definitely gonna be some other weird-rear end characters.

It’s in exactly the same place as everyone else’s as soon as you get the ability to look at the cards, there’s no need to progress anything. It’s the very first thing you read about her if you take the time to flick through all the cards you’ve collected so far when the game first shows you how to do it.

Well then, I guess the others will probably get some more going on too. I know the monsters have some incredible stuff on the front and back too when you progress them.
