Tossing out DoF and better outlines is already a plus. The former regardless of how well the PS4 version did it is good, because I tend to toss out most if not all image effects when I have the option, because the IQ is better for it. I tend to take a 'spartan' approach to image effects, I find they add little at most to the experience in most circumstances regardless of game.
Still, the fact that the Switch version is suddenly the best-looking version in spite of the existence of the PS4 version is fucking hilarious to me. Considering the Switch has way better specs than the Vita, I doubt it won't run at 60FPS at native res.

I was wondering what unshackled meant so I had to compare the two bride outfits because I couldn't tell the difference. Unshackled indeed.
That price is awful

>looks at sealed Vita Noble Phantasm versionOkay, I found a screen from both the PS4 and Vita versions to compare:
Switch
PS4
Vita:
One other comparison I saw was that Switch lacks the depth of field of the PS4 version.

The real question is will it come with a super awesome full color booklet like most XSEED games do?

Second this. This game is hot dumpster fire. Please stay away unless you're a hardcore fan of the Anime.
lmao, stay away from it cos she's very important
Yep.
Gah, guess that answers my question then. I wonder if we'll ever get the VN's. Thanks.

Just got into this series last month. I'm in for this if performance holds up.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
now the meme is even more connected
its just an anime musou that isn't actually a licensed or official musou from a series that will probably be significantly less confusing if you don't have the proper story context,
I strongly disagree that you need to go play a psp game first if you just want something grindy for your commute /roadtrip

Seriously though. Played about 60 hours of this with all the characters, not worth it to buy. Its a very sub average Musou with the Fate tie in being its only draw.
Many of the stories can be interesting, but its not worth the cost of admission if your not super hardcore. Those just browsing or casually finding out about Fate or TM through ufotable's several anime adaptions need not apply

I love it when people say "I put 60 hours in to this" and then say it's no good. If a game was "sub average" or something I was not enjoying, there's no way I could put 60 hours in to it.
Does that mean you'll come back when...hehe...Tsukihime hehehe remake comes ou-hahahahaha!
Ah. I made myself laugh.
We can forget about Mahoyo 2 and 3 i guess.
Its not the same kind of game as Extra or CCC. Personally think the gameplay of this game hurts it the most, so banal and repetitive.
If you liked Nero or the characters of Extra, i'd say give it a shot or want to see the Grand Order newcomers or FSN characters do their thing. Otherwise, its not worth it.
It just means he's enjoying it in some way, but will never recommend the game to anyone else unless you're a hardcore fan. To me this happens a lot with games from anime.
Anyway my friend is a longtime F/GO player and she loved the game, but all she talked about was the story and characters.
I'm a very veteran TM fan so i got some enjoyment out of it(to be fair, about 10 hours of that 60 was replaying Arturia's scenario over and over).
But its plain to see that the gameplay is subpar and the game itself definitely not inviting for those without a particular taste for what the game offers.

How's the difficulty (aka cheapness) of the boss fights? If those aren't frustrating, then it's already way better than Berserk Musou in my book, on top of the vastly superior character variety. Berserk Musou is probably the worst Musou game, Omega Force really dropped the ball there.
I'll drop an opinion here, too, as one of the few people that played the PS4 version.
From a moderate fan of musou-style games and a moderate fan of the Fate/ franchise, take this advice:
Do not buy this game if you are a fan of musou games and want another one to play. It's got solid enough systems but there's nowhere near as much content as an omega force musou game. It's about 20 hours long for all significant content outside of grinding higher difficulty levels.
Do not buy this game if you watched and enjoyed Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works and especially if you watched and enjoyed Fate/Zero and want something similar. The game is extremely far removed both tonally and setting-wise from both, taking place in cyberspace with the main plot point for a majority of the game being a literal waifu war with numerous comedic elements.
Do not buy this game if you can't handle large quantities of waifu nonsense. I have a decent amount of tolerance for that stuff, but this game is full of long strings of descriptive text full of adjectives like 'perfect' and 'beautful' being used to describe pretty much any female character the self-insert protagonist encounters. It got so bad that I ended up skipping a decent number of scenes because the main character wouldn't stop mentally jerking himself off over his servant.
The only circumstance in which you should buy this game is if you really like musou-style games, love the Fate/ franchise and you don't care about a dramatic shift in tone from most other media available in translated form. I managed to get some enjoyment out of it because it gave me a chance to play as Emiya, Cu Chulainn and Artoria in an action game, but outside of the two main characters, it feels like less attention was paid to balancing movesets and making everything flow together well.

I already gave up with Tsukihime remake. It's been almost 9 years since it was announced haha... Even if they release it someday, I won't be a Type-Moon fan again. But I had a lot of fun talking about Type-Moon with the fan base back when I was a fan.
Still waiting for the third volume of DDD but I doubt it's going to happen.
Thanks, then I'll think about getting it or not. Maybe I'll get the PS4 version if I find it cheap.
i didn't find them all that difficult but you'll be doing a lot less of that than mowing down mooks

No Shiki, No buy!Before you ask, Shiki is not in it
The story is solid and you can change the MC gender and name at any time. The gameplay is standard musou clone stuff.
Hmm... I'll have to think about it some more, I guess.

I played and beat it on PS4 and I certainly recommend it for anybody who really likes the Fate Universe and also enjoyed the Fate Extra/CCC stories.
Plus more fucking Nero Saber and Elizabeth is always great.

I might be in the minority, but as someone who grew up with Musou games since DW3, I loved the gameplay of Extella. It's 60FPS, enemies are endless and the animations is just so smooth and captures the feeling of an overpowered Servant. It can get repetitive, but I actually prefer this style of high-speed Musou gameplay compared to DW8. The dashing and insane AOE attacks is just fun to witness and control.
There's a distinct lack of powerups/weapons/skills aside from passive bonuses. DW series is much better in this aspect.
Once you're done with the main and side story, there is practically no reason to replay the game anymore.
With that said, I still won't recommend it to a non-Fate fan. This game is all about the character and world building that Fate fans would appreciate. And even so it's meant to be for the more advanced/hardcore fans that consume more than the anime.

If you could slog through the "gameplay" in Fate/Extra for the story, then Extella is infinitely better.

Are any of these costumes gilgamesh costumes?
I guess it doesn't matter since the game is garbage anyways.
I'd pay far more for this sexy ass promotion banner than the actual game.

I really enjoyed the gameplay as well, but unlike you I don't even like musou games. I hate them for the most part because I find them boring, but Extella really clicked with me.
Same for me. Hope performance is decent.
Yup, after playing Extella the normal Musou games just seems so slow and sluggish compared with all the dashing and animation cancelling that we do in Extella.
The best part about the PS4 version is that it runs at a rock solid 60fps, it really is a fun experience. Loved the story as well and how it ties into the greater Nasu/Fate-verse with its numerous revelations. Loved the characters as well.
