I hope they add even more characters down the line, hopefully the game's popular enough to get multiple updates/DLCs for several years. Hoping we get some characters who never got the chance of being playable in previous games, such as the Sleeping Knights, Eugene, Recon. It has the potential to be a very good game imo. BTW, if some people are curious about Neige's name, it means Snow in French. Quite fitting giving her white hair and big winter coat.
Anyone else have a feeling they're going to bring Accel World into the mix with one of those DLC considering that it is canon in the anime of Accel World that Sword Art Online took place before it
I’m certain the Wild Joker Dress was based off the 5star Sinon with the same title from the mobile game SAO Memory Defrag! She’s even doing the same pose in the preview! It’s really cool to see that MD alongside Unleash Blading haven’t been forgotten about even after they’ve been shut down!!
7:32 ReonA really has carried the weight of the most SAO songs in just 4 years of the Alicization/Post Alicization Alicization WoR Lycoris Last Recollection And Fractured Daydream Yes LiSA, Amier, ASCA, and Haruka have a lot but more getting to be featured in the games with everyone else
Once again it's pretty much an October release. I felt the last one flew so far under the radar because of all the games releasing at that time which is a shame.
Thanks for the coverage. Your console SAO games news bring good memories. This feels like a step up from Last Recollection which I haven't bought yet. And apparently the developer is promosing too. Do you think I should go straight to it instead? I don't remember you making a full review of Last Recollection. I just like the Underworld arc very much, so I'm planning to buy it. But maybe this game will have some portion of Underworld too
I never really got around to making an Ultimate Review for Last Recollection, because there wasn't really anything that changed my opinion or further refined it compared to my First Impressions. I still wanted to make an Ultimate Review, but the character affinity grind felt way too heavy that I never got to fully complete the side events, so that one is still very much in the backlog :/ There is no barriers for Fractured Daydream though! Gameverse came to an end with Last Recollection and Fractured Daydream bases itself on the main canon.
I’m only going to buy this at all if there is a full single player experience and not some short lived one and I wouldn’t mind have missions for boss hunts solo like monster hunter but I doubt that
There is a full on single player campaign. You can also go into Free Roam quests. It is going to be a multiplayer lobby that you can go in by yourself without a party and come across randoms on the map.
So the playable character roster thus far is: Kirito Asuna Sinon Leafa Eugeo Alice Quinella Argo Agil Oberon LLENN Fukaziroh Gabriel Miller* Fuuka* Neige* Silica* Lisbeth* Yuuki* * = Unsure or unconfirmed
@@Gamerturk Great suggestions, I'll add them into the asterisk category, on top of that I think Gameverse characters might also be likely, seeing as Eugeo appears to retain his AL Cathedral Clothes, as opposed to the anime.
Hahahah, yeah, I believe it was the "Launch Trailer" of SAOFB that literally had Itsuki summoning the big boss monster on us. And also, I don't remember the exact contents but when Last Recollection Launch Trailer came out, I decided to not mention it due to how spoiler heavy it was, actually spoiling critical events that the official account from Japan asked people "not to stream" to not spoil things. The approach regarding to spoilers is incredibly different between the West and Japan. The West often takes a more "gray", they will not actively spoil events but are more understanding towards fans or communities spreading the word. Japan is a lot more black and white, there is an immense amount of respect for authority which in this case is the marketing effort of the brand, whereas the brand itself can be incredibly liberal at spoiling its own work, but anything beyond what the brand officially shared themselves, must be kept under wraps until further notice.
I don't know whether to get on PS4, PS5 or Nintendo Switch later this December for Christmas from family. I might buy the DLC off the Playstation Network store. I kinda have my doubts if Chrysheight will ever be in the games as Kikuoka's character isn't that popular i guess. He's the only Male Undine I've seen aside from Sumeragi from Lost Song. Heathcliff/Kayaba and Kikuoka/Chrysheight are still 2 of my favourite supporting characters. I know Heathcliff was playable in Sao vs Accel World Millenium Twilight. Recon I never liked as a character because I found him to be mediocre and not right for Suguha/Leafa as a boyfriend.
No, the US is not "everywhere". If you are to the east of UK, it's the 4th. If you are to the west of UK, it's the 3rd. It is literally impossible for it to be on the same day everywhere because Steam releases simultaneously worldwide. Here's the Steam page from Europe: imgur.com/a/GOj0PZz
Maybe, maybe not. We need to get a Season 4 first, which is far from completion in the Light Novels. Next stop is AGGO Season 2 Anime this October, and then sometime next year, an anime original movie for the main series SAO.
Physical bonuses are expensive to bring over and there's usually a lot of material that requires additional translation. The last one they did was Fatal Bullet Collectors Edition iirc. It probably does not pay off for them.
There is a physical release….. for the normal edition. :( No premium deluxe physical edition in the west unfortunately. I waited a lil while before preordering to see if they would add one, but it looks like they won’t.
They are bound to be announced. Yuuki will probably among the last of reveals tbh, just like during Last Recollection. I'd look towards Tokyo Game Show for that.
Account share? You mean if you can log into the same account from different devices? Unless they integrate their Bandai Namco ID System, I don't think they'll have such a feature.
were is lisbeth in this game it is like we get the rest of the cast of Characters also the season pass we can most likely get later on like in most games
She is one of the core cast of the series. People like Lisbeth, Silica or Yuuki are bound to be part of the cast without any doubt. You just gotta be patient!
Extremely excited for this game! Amazing coverage as always you never disappoint when it comes to keeping up with sao so thank you! I find it upsetting that if you want a physical copy you miss out on the other pre order bonuses though. Hopefully they become dlc separately or something when the game comes out
The Demon King Outfit denotes underneath that the bonus "may be sold separately later", so while it's not nice, there's still a chance. Tbh, the optimal solution is making it an "early purchase bonus" where all players who log in within the first week just receive it, but I guess they did not go that way this time :/
@@Gamerturk I don't play PC games because I have yet to master PC controls and too many games on a computer can overload it this is why I switched to Sony Playstaion and Nintendo Consoles.
The story is single player, however during the beta, the Title Screen itself always requested server connection. However the way they push the wording "Offline" for the single player so much in marketing lately, it could be that it is actually a separate offline mode without any online requirements to start up.
Honestly I won’t be getting this….hell I bought the last game hoping to play my Fatal bullet character but nah……not getting got again. I want a sequel Fatal Bullet or a new game where I’m the main character screw Kirito. I can’t believe.hack got beat by this crap
@@Gamerturk not blaming the game, the game has its own faults, but these games are sub par, and the creators are tone deaf, some fans ask specifically for one thing and they keep putting fingers to ears. I hope you guys enjoy the game but I’m done with the franchise
@@dontmindme9323 I strongly recommend not having the usual social media bubble syndrome. While there is a vocal portion of the community asking for an OCMC, a major part of the community further solidified their opinion that they do not want an OCMC due to how bad Fatal Bullet was written.
@@dontmindme9323ignore this guy bro, I don’t know which major part of the community he is talking about, majority of sao fans want a custom character just like it was portrayed in the series. Anyone trying to convince u it makes sense to play as kirito or cast members in a game about a show which literally had character create is obviously not very bright🤭
TBH this should have been a ftp game. Soa fans will buy it but not normal people where they would download it for free. I'm still not sold on how you level in map as well. I get it's easier to balance but it's lame as hell. Is there long term progress? To many questions to preorder.
Tbh, the story commitment looks a lot larger than they had previously hinted at. I'm still not on board with the full 60$ tag, I still think the Multiplayer is where its at with SAOFD and a lower barrier of entry would be a lot more beneficial, but it's not looking as unreasonable as it did to me a couple days ago before these reveals. As for the long term progress, that's your Account Level and Individual Character Levels, which will in return allow you to take on harder World Tiers with better rewards or challenges etc. But I imagine there is more to it than that simple loop. If anything, I see the "World Tier" approach on its own to be an unsatisfactory hamster wheel since the first time I played Genshin, so I do hope there is more to late game than just "Get more powerful, so enemies get more powerful too".
I agree that the game should not have a $60 barrier of entry. Especially for a primarily online game. But trust me this game is amazing. I’ll be a beater when this game comes out so I can tell you now that this game is extremely fun because I have put more than 10 hours into it already! :)
The average non-fan would not play this. We don’t even know how the store/skin/micro-transactions are going to work. We don’t even know if it’ll be a live-service game like a normal ftp game.

Today is the new events of Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II!
Maybe someday we will get a sequel to that game now that we have the anime coming out this fall

Good catch! It's been way too long since I played MD, I dropped like during half of its life cycle so there was no way I'd be able to catch it!
so excited for this game! got a chance to beta test it and i had so much fun
Legitimate question here. What made it so much fun? Is this going to feel like a Mobil game?
Kizmel, Fanatio, Griselda, Yulier, Sakuya, and Musketeer X, and Lipia are the ones I'm most keeping an eye out for.
7:32 ReonA really has carried the weight of the most SAO songs in just 4 years of the Alicization/Post Alicization
Alicization WoR
Lycoris
Last Recollection
And Fractured Daydream
Yes LiSA, Amier, ASCA, and Haruka have a lot but more getting to be featured in the games with everyone else
Not to mention she has an entire album for Alternative GGO under the pseudonym Elza.
i already see kureha from fatal bullet and kirito asking wheres your friend and Kureha didnt had time
Are the clothes for Asuna and Sion pre-order only? Or can we get separately?
Once again it's pretty much an October release. I felt the last one flew so far under the radar because of all the games releasing at that time which is a shame.
using accessories from FB, Saw Sinon with the magician hat on
6:53 gun vs sword
Who is faster?
7:02 it's a Gaint robot
Will Playable Quinella have a birthday suit soon behind a paywall?
I may be the only one asking but, trust me, plenty of people are thinking it.

@@GamerturkIsn’t Klein also confirmed? I will cry until the end of time if he’s not in.
@@chaocobojun2098 Not yet confirmed, no. But 99% he's in. He's part of the core cast.

If you want to play this game with your friends at their house I think you should get both versions of the game on the switch and the ps5.
wish sao series was made by Cygames. Granblue relink as sao would be amazing.
Do i can still pre order the game via steam rn? (I know its a lil bit too late but can i still get the pre order rewards and early 3 days access?
Yes you can! The game releases in October 3-4, so until then, you qualify for the bonuses.
Can we hope for a playable sachi this time
I would not hold my breath, at least for the base game.
Is there going to be cross save in this game
No Cross Save as far as I remember sadly.
nope it's october 3rd everywhere on stream
No, the US is not "everywhere". If you are to the east of UK, it's the 4th. If you are to the west of UK, it's the 3rd. It is literally impossible for it to be on the same day everywhere because Steam releases simultaneously worldwide.

any idea what the endgame content will be , if any?
Not at the moment. All we know are that there's be higher difficulty tiers for Coop and Raid activities.
Why is there no physical premium deluxe edition? Can we bonk Bandai on the head with a rock until they release one?
Physical bonuses are expensive to bring over and there's usually a lot of material that requires additional translation. The last one they did was Fatal Bullet Collectors Edition iirc. It probably does not pay off for them.

Just preorders the premium edition. Looking forward to trying this game out when it releases
PS or PC?
@@Gamerturk I don't play PC games because I have yet to master PC controls and too many games on a computer can overload it this is why I switched to Sony Playstaion and Nintendo Consoles.
will gameverse characters be added?
Currently, no. The game is based on the main canon status quo and is not part of the gameverse.
So the game isn't even out yet and they already announced dlc?
It is pretty standard. Especially considering this is basically a planned character addition.
least its this year
Can you play this game offline?
The story is single player, however during the beta, the Title Screen itself always requested server connection. However the way they push the wording "Offline" for the single player so much in marketing lately, it could be that it is actually a separate offline mode without any online requirements to start up.
