Most F2P mobile games have some server connection. Almost everything in FFRK happens server side.
It worked so well for Record Keeper, why change!

Too bad SO5 is a massive bomb then.
Didn't the PS4 version alone move like 150k units so far?
Star Ocean 4 sold 160k ... in its first week ... on Xbox 360.
Good point. Are Ps4 users as high as xbox 360 users where when SO 4 was released though?
PS4's current Japanese install base is larger than Xbox 360's total unit sales in Japan.

What Other M reference are you claiming to make? I hate that game's portrayal of Samus as much as anybody but I can't remember Samus with in bent knees and grasping her neck.
I like it. I don't recognize it from any of the previous entries? Or is my memory failing me?
Nothing, ask the original poster I was suggesting it to. I was just highlighting that the character design had that usual inwards bent knees and neck caressing usually exclusive to female characters.

I might even say the inward bent knees is almost exclusively seen on Japanese designed female characters. They love their thigh-showing, inward knee bending young women. They're so kawaii
So the music is going to be like the DS game? Just remixes of VP? That's disappointing.....
Mobile, not sure it is even coming westward at this point.
So good

Yamagishi confirms what we suspected, that the Lenneth voiced by Sawashiro is an ancient Lenneth, while the Toma Lenneth we are familiar with comes later.

Very interesting. Hopefully, the game will touch upon the reincarnation aspect of the game's world and explain how the change from ancient Lenneth to future Lenneth came to be
Thx <3
It's pretty great. I dunno why the marketing for the game is so weird though. Should have left it up for a day at least imo.
Maybe it's a bait Yamagishi intends to reuse a couple more times? *shrugs*
The marketing budget didn't allow for more than 4 hours of availability on youtube.
Valkyrie Profile Anatomia releases tomorrow.

Man, what a fucking tease; they force you into 3 fixed gacha rolls with a super rare at the end... and that's where the demo ends.
This was cool tho
Edit: oh it's not fixed? well duck me

Yeah I rerolled once to see how the gatcha was. First time was just 3* then next time I did it I ended up with one 5* and two 4* weapons.
Took a ton of screenshots, but that video covers everything.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but we have 3 currencies:
- energy just to play/heal
- crystals to prevent some enemies to OHKO you
- stuff to have Lenneth materialise map parts
And of course gatcha mechanics for equipments.
Touch controls don't hold a candle to the real VP combat, the addition of skills to activate by sliding up a finger doesn't help either, good luck comboing them.
I like that you can guard attacks manually though.
This thing is not worth the trouble of going through a VPN, making a Jap account, and spending a lot of money.

Finished the prologue. Doing the full data download now. It's pretty interesting. The game is clearly made on a shoestring budget, but I think they identified the aspects of VP which were most appealing to fans. There's quite a lot of story, the theme seems kinda dark, but it remains to be seen how good the individual Einherjar stories will be. The framing story is a sort of "origin story" for the Norse Mythology setting of VP. But it's also super contrived, much like the previous VP games. There's a foreshadowing of a Bad End future, there are hints of a dark secret in the past. The Valkyrie is presented here as a last resort plan by Odin to save Asgard even though she seems to be a weapon he doesn't really understand.
The battles are pretty responsive, the graphics are good, and while the dungeons are the typical sort of mobile instanced stuff, it does seem like there is some thought put into potentially making them more interesting later on. The tutorial was just a straight line though.
So it seems like the gacha is definitely weapons, not Einherjer... pretty similar to FFRK then, rather than Terra Battle. Hope the inventory management isn't total garbage.

Okay, played the tutorial. I like it; maybe it's been too long since the last entry of the series and I'm deprived, but the game clicked with me right away. Only thing is I'd prefer the classic diamond setup instead of tapping the row of portraits along the bottom of the screen but I guess it takes up too much real estate.
My current account has two 4* and one 3*; I'm not the rerolling type so I'll run with it. Waiting for the official release now.
