The graphics already look so spectacular on the PS4 pro. Can't imagine how gorgeous it'll be at 4k on the ps5!

Nah.
What drama?
Yes.

They should release it Christmas day.

The game has 4 player co-op but you can also play it solo if you want.
Wasn't the general consensus that Platinum Games simply fulfilled their part of the project (the combat system)?
That's true. Both Platinum Games as well as Cygames said that Platinum fulfilled their contract and then moved on. There was nothing "suspicious" about it but i guess some people always love to spin things for drama's sake.
I need this and i hope it's not.
That might be the official story but the game didn't have the same feel when it was re-revealed.
Why? Aside from combat (even that is arguable), what else does Platinum do good?
I agree the initial and subsequent reveals have been different (with the first one being much more similar to a Tales Of series game), but it's a bit of a stretch to attribute it solely to Platinum.

maybe reach out to the mods and ask for a thread merge.My impression was Platinum didn't come through on their end. CyGames likely either chose not to renew the contract or terminated it professionally. Neither company is going to say that Platinum failed to deliver but sometimes those things happen even with reputable companies. Platinum has juggled a ton of contracts over the past few years and it seems like they stretched themselves too thin and didn't quite deliver on all of them.
Like I said I'm not convinced they kept Platinum's combat work, the game's combat looked different to me during the re-reveal, so did the graphics.
This is an interesting take, but it's still speculation (albeit plausible).C caffeware

I agree that them being off the project could be a good thing. They could have done great work but been suffering on the management side: scope creep, missed milestones, etc. I kind of suspect that might be the case. They had Gran Blue Fantasy, Star Fox Zero, Nier Automata, Scalebound, Astral Chain, and other small projects all at the same time.
Totally forgot about this.

- 2020 was focused on doing a major rework of the engine which only just completed in August; will help streamline development going forward
Gameplay demo (Begins at 6:16:49; time-stamped):
Based on what they've said and shown I'm thinking Platinum either wasn't delivering or they drastically changed direction. Inclined to believe the former more than the latter. Either way, feels like everything before was smoke and mirrors after watching this. Game only landed on my radar in late 2018 so I was surprised to see how crazy development had been when I started reading up on it.
I thought the exact same thing. 4 player co-op, dodging the ranged attacks, big area of effect zones to avoid, team stats in the upper left, the healing, boss with overdrive/break mechanic. I enjoy Dragalia but find the inventory management and mobile nature of it frustrating at times so this might actually work really well to scratch that itch.
