I'm not much of a wrestling fan but newLegacyinc's videos with FPWR were superb. I'm glad this is on Steam and hopefully it'll have new wrestlers/mods/etc on the workshop instead of just via save file sharing.

but it'd sort of be like a side bonus right? i mean there is real no negative to it if you can add more to whats already capable of the original game, I guess thats why its exciting to me, what would you do if you were to add a mod for this game?
We have to see what's been added or changed from FPR, firstly.
I think I'd like to see 10 man tags, because it appears they've kept series tradition of having a cap of 8. Maybe a ladder match, and tweaks to the battle royal match to more properly emulate a Royal Rumble match (have more than 8 people in the match and prevent submissions to count as eliminations in addition to being thrown over the top rope).
Everything else I'd want can be seen in FPR via the community. You want the New Japan roster? You got it. You want the WWE logo in the game? Done.
Maybe a mod I could see is perhaps extending the limit of created characters you can have, assuming there's a cap. FPR has 500 as a limit, and trust me, the community can hit this pretty damn quick.
One more time with feeling!

bad gameplay lol
Adding to this because it's a good list, I'd like to see some sort of single-player career mode. Like, even something as simple as X Premium's solo mode would be better than the nothing we got in Returns.

They might try something with the career mode, seeing as the the apparent roster in the game are original characters.
I hope because of the limited roster that the booking mode is back, but allows the use of custom characters. If you want to use this mode in FPR and want to, say, sim New Japan, you're dealing with a New Japan roster from 2005. We're talking Josh Barnett and Masahiro Chono old school.

I want Audience Mode from the GBA game back because oh my gawd
Tomoyuki Matsumoto, the director of Fire Pro Wrestling World, has wanted to make this game for the past five years.
Edits are also gonna be amazing. New moves are confirmed. We better get a good Rainmaker and Destino. One Winged Angel, Kenny Omega's finisher, is in the game. It's not named that, but it's there.
For an example of new options, Fire Pro Wrestling Returns only had two layers for limbs regarding edit customization.
World allows nine layers.

Steam store page is up. Will be released on Early Access.
While I am not too hot over the sprites, their animation is good. I look forward to the modding opportunities.
You know the good stuff. I want to see a good Destinoooo!Tomoyuki Matsumoto, the director of Fire Pro Wrestling World, has wanted to make this game for the past five years.

Best gifSo excited!!
GAF. Let me tell ya something GAF. I read this, saw the announcement in the middle of my store's Switch launch and I cried. Ya'll don't even know. Tears of joy. Fire Pro is life. I play it to this day. Owned so many versions and I gave up hope. Now I see it'll be on Steam of all places and the possibilities that it entails just melts my heart.
I'm so happy. T-T

He should come back to write some more super fucked up storylines for the new one.
Oh man.
So glad it's coming to PC. I was worried it'd be PS4 only. Should be super easy to share Edits around.
I wonder how online play will be. The timing on grapples was always so precise that they'd surely need to make some changes there to account for latency.
Would be really cool if you could have CPU only matches online against someone else, I hope that's possible. 10 Man Tags would be nice, can't see them doing anything like a ladder match or something that would require lots of new animations.
Edit - One more request, Management of the Ring from Fire Pro 2 on GBA. Had so much fun with that even without knowing a single word of Japanese.

I want someone to make a Honma that does nothing but attempt Kokeshis over and over until one finally hits.
Just like the real Honma.
We might even get a kokeshi headbutt as a new move!
Imagine a very slow, staggered drop from the top rope.
Yessssssssssssssss.
Or a GTR! We're just talking New Japan talent having new moves, but we can probably look elsewhere, too.

This should be a big hit on Twitch and the gaming bubble in general because wrestling is decently hot right now. CRITICALs for everyone <3
Trevor Lee's standing stomp and weird reversal slam better be in this game! 😤😤😤

Day fucking one.
Most of the head sprites are based off of actual wrestlers, but they're clearly not named in game to reflect this.
If you're asking if the game will launch with a roster of lookalikes, the answer is no. Copyright is likely the reason, so the community will have to make the rosters.
The great thing here is that the templates and formulas for the wrestlers in Fire Pro Returns don't need too many changes for this game, barring new moves. This means from a porting perspective, we can start to see rosters just carried over and then updated by the community. For example, in FPR, someone made Shinsuke Nakamura. If people wanted him in FPW on launch day, they can likely follow the exact template that made the character, maybe make some tweaks here and there, but out of the gate it can easily be done.
The issue, of course, is seeing the actual rosters get filled up. It's much easier to fill up Pro Wrestling NOAH's roster than it is to have a current roster from Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre, for example.

Oh yeah, I'd kill to have Kenoh's Gory Special into Powerbomb. Sick move.
I bought fire pro wrestle, six man scramble, for the sega Saturn many years ago and loved it. I know in Japan you can get away with having the likeness of wrestlers without any consequences.
Not sure that is true in the US though? I don't think the game will have the likeness of say the undertaker, the rock, etc.
Regardless looking forward to this game.

I believe copyright laws changed since the last real game, and for this reason, they're not going to make likeness angle.
They'll likely leave the customizable assets in the game, but there will not be a roster made of the likeness of others at launch.
FPW will be launch with 30 custom characters, and that's it. The community will be able to share content online, and for this reason, this is how "filling in the gaps" comes into play.

They'll likely be able to get away with the Japanese version.
But yeah, this is to be expected. This will be a community-built game
I believe the Japanese version has the same roster as the localized version. They're just not gonna risk it.
It's basically going to launch as a content platform that the roster is there to "trial," but it will be up to the community to fill in the niches the game allows.
Bring on the Ironmetal Heavyweight Championship
Ahh ok, sounds like the community is strong with the series though so should see a lot of CAW-like formulas
Hoping for a Switch release now
