Maybe one day

I also enjoyed your video on the overall history of the game in the fgc. You did a great job. I’m flattered that my video helped yours. Sorry for the bad news but I quit with youtube a month ago, due to me being unable to provide content in my current situation, and my time invested on my projects not paying off. And even if I do comeback one day (which isn’t unlikely) I wouldn’t make another video on UNI again, simply because of everything that has happened thus far. From a disappointing sequel to a grooming situation in the community (which has it's own layers). So yeah, I'm finished with UNI. But throughout all of it, I never regret making the Hyde video and it will always be one of my greatest videos of all time. If you need more inspiration from me, then I would recommend watching my Klonoa Beach Volleyball video. That's my best video to this day. Anyways, I've been skeptical towards french bread since they have been taking the lazy route for UNI2 since its announcement. While I still want things to change, the reality is that probably nothing is gonna happen in the future. And even though I had such a negative stance, and moved on from the game entirely, it still doesn’t make me happy. I believe that the fans deserve more than what they got. If you want me to, I can elaborate about this whole thing. For now, I wish you the best in your future endeavours. Keep up the good work!

Brother, I know exactly how you feel! I have criticised UNI2 many times over the past few months. While there are a ton of things I can still say about the game and the direction it took, I wouldn’t do it because it will contain more words than the bible. I hate what UNI2 represents as a whole, and I can’t support that.

@@dekuplus Same. I could also right an essay about why UNI2 failed (you could probably tell by my last one lol) but to summarize everything the best I can. I...kind of think the UNI community can be a little full of themselves when they say "UNI2 will change everything!"...and yet. No one is playing the damn thing. I WANT to play UNI2, but I can't because no one is online to fricken play it! Then people on RUclips tell me to "join the discord" only to realize that the beginners room is not only dead, but French Bread somehow, SOMEHOW, BY SOME MIRACLE did not make UNI2 cross console compatible! *Bashes head against a wall* How do you do that, like, legitimately??? That's why I hate when the UNI community says that "this is the greatest fighting game of all time," but also forget that they need to, idk, GROW THEIR COMMUNITY instead of saying how great everything is when it's really not! (I will probably get a lot of hate for saying that but, it's not like I didn't try to play. I did, multiple times...) Everything (to me anyway) is so inferior to UNICLR in almost every possible aspect. The artwork, the music, the lack of things to buy, the UI, god the UI I can't believe they left that shit like that. Even things like not having one of the UNI characters pop up with their voices when you boot the game up is sorely missed. Other than some gameplay aspects, everything is worse...like, almost everything, and everyone says "Well their a small team. You can't blame them." Yeah, they were also the same small team that built UNICLR from the ground up, so why is that the excuse? Sorry, rant over. Like I said, I could do a whole analysis on why UNI2 failed, but the fact that the community is brushing it off saying that everything is fine as long as you join the discord. Yeeeaah, for me, that gets under my skin, especially since I tried to do that and still couldn't find anyone to play that is my level. UNI2 is also not beginner friendly since new players pretty much don't exist here and I knew that would be the case since the track record of niche fighting video games when it comes to this is pretty consistent...

@binxthebinx6575 I've been echoing most of the same opinions myself. I always ask the simple question of: Is it even worth buying the sequel for 50 bucks when it’s an inferior version (in almost every aspect) of the previous game. I bought UNICLR twice and still spend less. So already this doesn’t look good. Most modern fighting games have this issue where they try to pander to the more casual audience and fail miserably. UNI is no stranger to that. That’s because it’s designed as a competitive game. There is nothing wrong with having a game that is like that. But if you try to introduce a casual audience, you need something appealing to that audience. Not to mention that the players that consistently play it, aren’t making it easier for casual players to get into it. There are some noble players that do want to teach new players by making tutorial videos/guides. But let’s face it, casual players don’t care enough to watch or learn an entire game, if the game couldn’t teach the player in the first place. Games and their communities have a straight forward relationship. Let’s use Pokémon as an example. There are people that like the battle system because it is simple on the surface and easy to navigate. These people consider joining the competitive community, where they learn more about it's battle system, meta, stats, and other stuff that a casual player wouldn’t look at. And they wouldn’t need much time to understand it either since it isn't completely unfamiliar to them. The game gives you enough knowledge to beat it, and the community gives you more information about said game. A very simple but good relationship. Now let’s look at most fighting games. Even if you did, every tutorial/combo guide, you aren’t guaranteed to win against everyone. Even bots might be a bit too much to handle. Because the best way to learn here, is to lose. This alone drives people off because no one likes losing in a game. And the community doesn’t really help it either, because most players will say that losing is the best way to learn those games. So already this relationship isn’t healthy for beginners at all. Like I said though, there is nothing wrong with having that relationship. But they pretend to be beginner friendly to invite new players into the game/community when it’s not. And eventually this reflects on the lack of growth in numbers. I totally understand your frustrations with the game's direction. I've been there too. And it’s especially frustrating when a lot of people are distracted by a new shiny toy. I'm always glad to read comments like yours because I can tell that you care a lot about the game and it’s community. Sadly, they aren’t helping themselves. And if the devs, and the community don’t care that much about the game, then why should anyone else care? Sorry, that was a bit long. And the worst part is that this whole thing is not nearly enough to get my thoughts out. Let me hug you, because I'm glad to find more people that are aware of the same issues as I am.

@@dekuplus The "best way to learn is to lose" mentality is something I was told a lot by people on the UNI discord...and I don't agree with that statement at all. Yes, losing is part of learning the game too, but for me. I learn fighting games best by experimenting with move sets and combos in a not so serious match...you can imagine how difficult it is to do that when pro players pretty much beat you down no matter your rank. It's not that I don't want to get into fighting games, but I know I will never be considered a "pro player" and may not understand each move from a character frame by frame by frame...but I still want to play and that's why it's so incredibly frustrating! I think the main reason why I get so pissed off by this is because, in a funny way, I like Gordeau as a character a lot (Hyde being my second favorite.) A lot of what I am about to say is one half the writer in me and the other half just admiring a characters design/backstory like Gordeau's. I just hate it when a character is created with a fricken awesome design and amazing backstory...and then they never follow through on anything else with them. The fact that UNI2 will more then likely be the last game in the series and THIS is how there going to end everything REALLY sucks! I picked up UNI2 after putting over a thousand hours into BBTAG because Gordeau is one of those characters that got me to play the game. The fact that French Bread is not planning to do anything more with their characters after this is such a waste. UNI, to me, has hands down some of the best designed characters I have ever seen. There really isn't any other game like it. In fact, I HATED Hyde at first because "oh look, it's another Japanese school boy, chosen one protagonist. Man, haven't seen that one before," but after I started playing as him in BBTAG and learned his backstory in UNICLR, he's now my second favorite character in UNI! I guess this is the main reason why I'm just overall ticked with how the game turned out. French Bread had many good ideas in UNICLR that I felt SHOULD be marketed more. That SHOULD be pushed to more fans so that maybe, we can get a manga, an anime, hell, even more merchandise would be nice!...But they don't and I will never understand why. If they are so proud of what they created, why does it feel like they don't care enough to share their passion to as many people as possible? I don't think we will ever get an answer but that laziness definitely shows in UNI2...

I said it before UNI2 came out, and not much has changed from then. I guess the only major thing that happened is that I view UNICLR in a more critical way. I didn’t think the game was perfect but I chose to ignore most of the negative stuff because the majority of my experience was positive. This also includes a lot of the lore. If you would ask me a year ago if UNI was one of my favorite games, I would say yes. But today, not so much.

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching!

No.

Here's the thing. The reason why Kuon is being set up as the villain is because he isn't the villain. He's a cardboard cut-out, because he's meant to hide the real villain, Bob Zogratis. Let me explain. You see, back when the story was being fleshed out, Roger didn't have an official name yet, and was given the placeholder name of "Bob". Fans weren't particularly fond of this change and refused to call him Roger. But what if it was on purpose? Remember, Roger was an adventurer of the Hollow Night, and his ability increased his survival instincts against the dangers of the Hollow Night. Now remember the Hollow God? The dude who introduced the people of the village that would later form the Night Blade? What if he was Bob Zogratis himself? Think about it, both are wanderers who happen to know about EXS & EXS abilities. What if Roger had existed for a long time, longer than Gordeau was even alive, and used his EXS ability of survival to survive into the present day, while having kids who had the potential to develop EXS abilities? Think about it, why are there so many characters like Carmine, and Merkava in his human form both have white hair? Simple: They're all the children born out of wedlock from the Hollow God, aka. Bob Zogratis/Roger. Bob Zogratis, along his travels, would have gotten a tan from constantly traveling in the hot sun, which does seem likely, and most likely, his children would have inherited his original trait of having light skin. This might be why in the Prologue, showing the origins of Kuon, the Night Blade, and the Hollow God, he seemed to have lighter skin, either because they didn't have colors to color his tanned skin, or he was always like that, before getting a tan, or he might have gotten a tan when he came to Kanzakai, and changed his appearance, so the Night Blade couldn't notice him. Now what about his children? In Carmine's arcade run in UNI2, Kuon mentions how he greatly resembles a certain someone, implied to be the person he's looking for Higan, who might be the Hollow God himself, Bob Zogratis, and in both of Merkava's arcade endings, his human form resembles the Hollow God, and in his bad ending, he implies that he might be the Hollow God himself. But what if Merkava wasn't the Hollow God? Think about it, he might have gotten it from his father, who referred to himself as the Hollow God. On that note, why did he call himself the Hollow God anyways? You'd think a crazy antagonist like Hilda would call themselves that, but why the Hollow God, someone who never once abused or boasted of their power, call himself the Hollow God. Simple: He is a villain, he has been pulling the strings all this time, he has been orchestrating the conflict between the Licht Kreis and Night Blade, the reason why Licht Kreis disallows men into their agency and caused the Ritter Schild to be formed, he was the one who caused the Bankikai to fall into shambles, and he is the one Kuon is looking for. He is Higan, he is the Hollow God, he is....................................Bob Zogratis.

My PC is fine. AkechiToo gave me his part and all I did was fixing his mistakes with the yellow text.

@@dekuplus nah i dont think the part was like that you got a virus or something

No virus. If this is how my colleagues wants to express themselves, then so be it. I respect AkechiToo's choice of embracing his furry side, and to use that for comedic purposes.

@@dekuplus can you send me the qr code as proof?

No problem. Just give me a while.

Can’t say
