Freedom Wars Demo Impressions

I tried the hoverboard and, well, it was a consumable item after all.

Of course, it's consumable (as shown in the previews). Why else would they give 100 boards per person in some prefecture (Gifu IIRC)?

They did the right thing and rewarded prefectures with lower population better.

You could go to Tokyo, and get (relatively) shit rewards, or make an effort and get great rewards (2 boards vs 100 boards). I still hope that they do "every three position" instead of "every five position".

Have they announced what Alliance do? I see a Chuukoku. I hope that's not China, but rather Hiroshima area.

No its not China.

The Chugoku Region (中国地方, Chūgoku Chihō, literally "central country") makes up the western part of Japan's main island Honshu. It is commonly subdivided into the heavily urbanized and industrialized Sanyo Region along the Seto Inland Sea coast and the much more rural Sanin Region along the Sea of Japan coast.
 
I generally take a bit more time with the resources rather than just using everything directly as is if possible. Though there isnt really all that much useable resources from the main page itself. So am right now trying to figure out what to do about the category background border, have an idea though. Just that since am not using photoshop its going to take a bit more messing around as dont have the exact features I need with paint.net. Also plan on not bothering with doing any sort of indepth info with the characters and such.

Take your time ! I expect to see a kick ass OT.

Different mission types

Some fairly standard stuff
  • Capture and control more zones than the enemy
  • Search and rescue civilians that were left behind on the battlefield
  • Rescue civilians from enemy abductors
  • Escort and prevent enemies from grabbing civilians from allied abductors
  • Eliminate all enemies
  • Reach the target destination in the field
  • Collect the required amount of resources from the field
  • Eliminate the target
  • Rescue the accessory that was abducted

That looks like some basic stuff for other genres (most are seen in the average FPS MP) but there is a lot more variety here than in the hunting action games I've played (Toukiden, Soul Sac and God Eater Burst).

No its not China.

Are you in charge of the OT? And are you making it for the Japanese release?

Will see what I can do with the limited resources. Since there isnt even that much good artwork around. Its weird how Sony didnt put a bit more effort with the site itself. What pisses me off more for whatever reason is the site itself keeps redirecting me to the "Asia" region page instead of the Japan one when I live in country. :/

No idea why it does that and more proof that webpage redirection needs to die a horrible death. D:

I would have thought that with how much they are trying to push the game they would have had more of a proper page instead of the jumbled mess that exists currently. (T-T)

anyways back to work D:

In terms of high quality assets, you're right, it's pretty slim pickings. I found that out when I attempted to make a custom cover awhile back.

There are some high quality character assets here and if you can get a hold of the Freedom Wars Player's Navigator there is a slew of usable imagery that you might find useful.

I pretty much have everything I need really. Usually for the most part there is a lot of stuff I generally dont wind up using as its unnecessary or dont really have a place for it. The first thing I do is collect all mats before starting anything.

Thanks regardless!

Famitsu has posted how rewarded "boards" work. They are consumable item with low-tier item rank so they should be easily available in the real game.

You know I just noticed the board was doing damage effects to the abductor in the 2nd video when he went and flew into its head. Interesting.

Separate note hopefully will have the OT up tonight. Am piecing together things currently and adding text, then comes the mess of all the bbcode stuff

Ohh, you're right. I wonder how much damage it does? Probably really minor damage though.

Im guessing it might work to mess up other players though if you collide with them. Esp if one is wounded then you run them down with the board. Thats if they allow them to be used in the H2H mode when it goes live. But in normal missions there should be other AI controlled humanoid enemies to test it on lol

About 75% done with the OT. the whole having to constantly check the bb code shit in a separate webpage (not GAF related) to make sure things work correctly is a pain lol. Bouncing back between a ton of windows currently. D:

The famitsu special pack will come with a shitton of DLC stickers. But in regards to the next famitsu issue no idea.

The current famitsu doesnt have anything FW related with DLC.

There was another Freedom Wars centric magazine not by famitsu though. I have it here it had a bunch of sticker DLC too. Ok just checked its a dengeki magazine. I do believe they made the god eater 2 specific magazine too in the past.

The stickers / decals whatever you want to call them are used to decorate your clothing / characters head if you wish.

How is that magazine? Saw it at a local store yesterday but it was all wrapped up so I couldn't check inside. Was wondering if I should pick it up or not.

I was thinking about buying this FW magazine, but the Amazon reviews scared me off.

I picked it up just for the stickers lol. Inside of it is just a bunch of color photos and very sparse info. Its mostly like stuff for the demo I suppose?

Btw Hasemo did you have time to run like a google spreadsheet for GAF members who will want to play with eachother once the infrastructure mode comes out? If so Ill make a section title for that. If not folks can just use the OT for all that info.
