LOL, that :27 Please Notice Me Senpai! scene.

This game keeps getting better with each preview.

I haven't looked into much info on this game, but do you have a static party? From the few gameplay vids I've seen it looks like that is the case.

Edit: all these opening movies make it seem like that is the case too.

Nice, will add those to the OP.

Yeah all characters are pre-determined. As its narrative focused.

There are three main characters that each have a unique party, each static.

Geez...Kyle has to be the worse combination of character design I have ever seen in a JRPG.
1) POS egoist looking face
2) Generic elite hair cut to go with his smugness smirk
3) 'Emo' eyes to represent angst

Please tell me that we can choose to pick our main so I can delete Kyle from the party.

damn that's good.

You know outside of Conner that he is going to be one of the most popular characters for the female audience though lol.

does dungeon rpg like this have huge female fanbase?

Its not the genre so much as the artist chosen. Since their work in general the designs seem to be aimed more towards females. Its the general impression I get from looking over their work. But they do a lot of other good artwork. One thing for sure is the artist has a very unique style.

Wish I had hung around at the demo event longer as もげ (藤もげ&#12362 the artist showed up later.

What gets me more than anything is Bamco's like 50s of asking for subscribes.

Really? Must not work on me. He looks sort of 'meh'.

 

[Parakeetman]

What gets me more than anything is Bamco's like 30s of asking for subscribes.

Sometimes its even longer than that. They seriously need to retool their videos as all the current clip is doing is pissing people off and its not like subscribing makes it go away either. Real poor marketing honestly.

A similar example would be Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titan had a huge amount of female fans. Similar type of character archetypes.

Several Openings? Nice.

But holy shit what is Bamco smoking with that ending to all their videos. It's super annoying.

It doesn't help that the audio during the stupid subscribe part is fucking annoying.

That too. Honestly whoever greenlighted that has no idea what they are doing. Since there is literally nothing positive about that additional clip. Esp if they are shoving it into a good amount of their videos on the channel these days.

You gain subscribers by good content, not hounding them with irritating video ads begging.

I thought I was the only one. I get excited for a new trailer and then boom about of minute of asking people to subscribe.

Interesting,will the 3 mains team up later?

Yeah pretty much its quite bad when the video is like 2 mins but half of it is the subscription clip. There have been occasions where the actual trailer is like 30 seconds and the other half is the subscription clip.

Not the smartest thing in the world to do. Bandai Namco has their own little personal mascot and they should have put that to use instead of a fucking box falling down a pipe...

Not sure on that as we dont have much details yet. But there are some story scenes that has the the different members together. I had forgotten to ask the Producer about that when I was at the demo event. Im curious on what kind of end game contents will the title have. As Exp Inc in general seems to have that in most of their games. Early on had asked about that, but at the time they were not able to release new info on that. So am guessing will have to find out when the game is released / cleared lol.

Funny thing is that I actually unsubscribed because of that shit.


Anyways, the openings are great!

Probably not the reason but... don't you make more money on youtube the longer your video is? Sometimes I see 15 second TV spots with a 30 second subscriber ad after.

I never knew about the different teams dynamic in this, pretty interesting.

 

[Parakeetman]

The pin badges I had gotten from the demo event. Finally got around to taking a photo of it.

 

[Callibretto]

the trailer seems to emphasis on Ichiya and Kyle fighting, so I assume we pick our main character and beat the other one up?

Its more the usual storyline thing where the characters personalities are incompatible. Happens all the time in anime lol.

Their "voice drama" content that they made on the OHP gives a pretty good example of the type of interaction the 3 MCs have with each other in general. All in Japanese though.

http://raygigant.bngames.net/special/voicedrama.html

If the voice dramas are any example of the kind of dialog / writing that the game will have, the event scenes should be amusing lol. The only downside is that the game is not full voice. Was hoping that it was going to be with the help of Bandai Namco's budget but seems like they are going the usual route which is only specific scenes will be full voice and others are text only.
