      Full character Customization is a lie lol ~ I can't change the armor of any character only their sword changes or guns.
      I'm enjoying this game few back stories like Percival and Gang are kool but.. Literally no armor like monster hunter world where you almost look like you're wearing best parts of the monster on yourself is incredibly missing here.

Some characters do have more supportive skills but you won't be forced into using them. They also mentioned the entire game will be able to be played solo with the AI companions, so unless they have some next generation AI here capable of playing proper support roles, the fights will end up being dps races more often than not, though I assume having actual players playing support roles here and there can make things much easier, but never be a requirement, which is the right approach in my opinion

      There's a planning ahead and there's being able to respond there and then. If a new boss arrives, you'll figure out it's strenghts and weaknesses. And although the thought being able to weave yourself through the fights dynamically might sound good, look at Monster Hunter, you want a little planning ahead kind-of-action. I think doing it with a pre-setup sounds way more enticing to me than being able to respond with a flick of a switch.
      Also, it has to do with the balance of the combat and overall feel with a mission board system, I think it will be interesting to see how it ends up.
      I am keeping my eyes on this, gonna wait until I watch some more gameplay when it releases, but it looks promising. Not entirely convinced yet, I hope it has some depth in the end-game.
      Also, very nice to see that there are game developers that don't abuse its playerbase with microtransactions. Genshin Impact is something I never understood why was accepted in the first place. I've grown to love jrpg's since I played the early FF series and the best way to aquire items in games is by unlocking them through gameplay.
      When cosmetics came along, I had a strong gut feeling, it is preying on the players. I am against it for the same reason now as I figured out back then so many years ago.
      Cosmetics is one thing I can live with though, if there are good looking stuff already in place, but p2w tactics is something I boycott games for, with ease.
      So here's to hoping this will be nothing of the sort, and that the game will be great. Here's to a healthy game!

      A lot of people don't know cygames outside the gacha sphere even tho their games are always top of the line.,Rage of Bahamut is amazing, Shadowverse being one of the best card games ever made, Granblue Fanatsy being one of the only gachas that put gameplay first and now Granblue fantasy that is on a similar fotting to Guilty Gear Strive now and now we get Relink which will end up on thr same fotting like Monster Hunter.. And all in their style, they don't just copy.. And they don't stop there, they also publish amazing gachas like princess connect.

    Why is everyone going "cannot switch characters mid combat omg" just STOP!
    omg...This game is like an action MMO, think of your characters as classes, because that's what they are, they have skills, roles and mechanics unique to each of them.
    There is no game in which you can switch classes mid combat, and it further reinforces the fact that it is a class/role you are playing, plus it gets you use to multiplayer.
    In regards to the game, is a main story scenario, then the duty/trials and the rest in the hub. This is great cause I rather have a hub and wait 1 minute for the start of the instance than be in an open world like FF14 and wait 20-40 minutes for a single instance while mindlessly moving around with no purpose. There will be over +100 instances, and more will be added in updates.
    We have a total of 20 classes, plus another 2 in April for 22. That's a lot! And each of them with their trees and lv 100.
    We don't know what the endgame is? Uhh we do? They will be adding extremely hard boss fights and raids. Have you checked the Lucilius boss fight? Fight looks rough, he can one shot you with like 90% of his attacks and aoe's and in the devs words: "Yeah...you are gonna need max level, max gear, a dedicated party and even then some real, REAL effort to take this guy down. Expect to wipe 20-40 times." Brutal.
    People should approach this as an action-RPG and an action-MMO, only that we don't get the social aspect like an MMO does. We can still chat in the hub and emote, plus communicate in battle and use keyboards with pairing.
    Nice video, thanks for covering the game!~ Waiting for my Deluxe Edition!

One can only hope this time, just this time, it's going to play well on PC.

    I really hate it when people throw around the words "Deep character customization" while all that the game really lets you customize is equipment and skills that don't even have any visual changes, that's not deep character customization! Deep character customization lets you chnage the characters appearance, their clothes, hair, colorscheme, all that good stuff, so stop throwing around the words "Deep character customization" when in reality it's not all that deep. FYI, character skins do not count as "deep customization"

    Thank you for that summary brah. That was really in depth. I was lazy to play the game because I actually thought you do have to switch characters like Genshin. I thought I’d have to learn each character to play them all optimally at least. To me that’s actually a positive as I would prefer to have a frontline tank and fight while I bombard enemies from the back line. So that seems quite appealing to me where I can stick to my comfort character and see how the AI play them and then choose if I wish to learn the others.

    Gran Blue Fighting Versus was the second launch of the game and has single player features such as a quest mode with a BMU aspect and far better online netcode (called rollback netcode) that has become the standard of fighting games.

    I hope its options to tone it down in the official release , I miss dodge's and blocks cus of it sometimes.

    I was a bit turned off at first with not being able to swap characters mid-battle, but the more I learn about how unique each character is, and how much more unique you can make them with personalized builds, the more I think it's actually a good thing.
    The game is urging you to stick with one particular character for a while, so you can get used to them, learn them, and start customizing them, allowing you to make a much better informed decision as to whether you really even want to switch to someone else.

    It's indeed been confirmed and shown at least 20 characters in release, and they said there's almost another half not shown for the sake of surprise, so it's safe to asume it's not just 20 characters, but 30+ on release.
    Also, I'm interested, how would you introduce the mechanic to be able to switch between characters in single player without:
    1) Screwing up mid-combo one of the characters, since all of them play around timed attacks and cooldowns.
    2) Getting dizzy with the camera moving from side to side of the screen continuously (because changing in the spot and having characters teleported would make the game broken since you can just tank with a tank, switch to someone with a counter, and re-switch with someone else with another counter and just keep rotating to infinite no damaging-loops)
    3) Trivializing boss mechanics because you can't do the ranged mechanics or the melee mechanics, such as "i'm gonna switch to the melee character so the IA deals with the mechanics outside of range, and when it's time for the melee mechanics I'll switch to the range so the IA deals with the melee ones".
    ...etc

      Tales of Arise has a similar system with being able to switch between characters mid-combat while keeping their positions. But, they have an additional step where the switch is done through the lock-on system, so the game "pauses" and lets you tab through the characters' positions so you can get a sense of where everyone is before switching and it isn't too disorienting. They also have a system where you can force characters to teleport by using a link(?) attack when they have enough charge built up to maneuver people around the battlefield more quickly.

      Honestly, I prefer the arena fights in this game. Get right into the action immediately. Though, it should be mention that the latest dev stream revealed that there are in fact 5 quest types in the game: Boss Fights, Wave Battles, Survival, Area Control, and Defense. The Devs have not talked much about the last 3 quest types so we don't know much about them. Additionally, each character has two mastery skill tree, one offensive and one defensive in addition to each of their craftable weapons having their own weapon skill tree. Also, the offensive mastery tree will have both active and passive skills that are suppose to greatly alter how you build said characters. For instance, in the latest dev stream they showed a little of one character's offensive mastery tree which showed a skill that gave said characters special attack (triangle attack) a parry window. Additionally, through the mastery trees we can unlock new combos for each character.

      @@nameTBA Pop music can give birth to masterpieces, just like other genres. Have you even heard Shape of You? This is one of the most beautiful songs created in the entire history of mankind.

    I just got Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising and started the anime. Once I get through those I'll get Relink.

    I can’t wait. I just hope I can change how the U.I. looks, cause it bugs me a bit. I don’t like too much stuff on the screen.

    So it is, in fact, a live service game... The ability for them to make changes to the game and add things like playable characters is the exact definition of live service... So why start off by saying that it's not?

      You don't need internet connection = not a live service

    Mate I have already spent 20hrs with the demo alone. JUST THE DEMO. What more the full game. I really cant wait for release, its been a very very long time coming!

    This game has been in development for what feels like forever. I would hope they would be confident with a demo. It was first announced in 2016 meaning it was already in development then.

    I am buying it just to support devs. I love that we have such game with full box price without any F2P BS and stuff which is typical to games with similar visual style.

    Im sorry but the background music is so much distracting. I want to learn about this new RPG game but all I think is how to get back to Baldurs Gate 3. Nice video by the way :)

    Full character costumization might be a bit hyperbolic. Unless i have missed something.
