Fabulously Olivier Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 9 hours ago, tipperthescales said: To be honest, I think because the Twitter has subverted what I expected of the stalling images (of the retainers) appearing here with these recent [Unit x Class] posts, that we may be in for something either new, or some other type of stalling come Friday. It'd be a bit odd if we didn't get Dimitri x Great Lord / Dedue x Armour Knight today, then Claude x Wyvern Master / Hilda x Brigand tomorrow (going by JPN times); but that's not saying anything about classes beyond that unless we see Shez mess around in them afterwards (or a character / class showcase video). Yeah, I think a trailer on Friday is looking pretty likely. They'll probably do Claude/Hilda tomorrow, Shez Friday, then drop a trailer later that day.

Etrurian emperor Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 I certainly hope a new trailer will be shown this week. But if you expect nothing you'll never be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you expect nothing you'll never be disappointed. That's sort of where I am at this point too. I want a trailer and hopefully a demo, but I'm not going to expect the former until we're in about the one month/30 days zone, and the latter just may not happen at all if they're trying to keep certain story aspects a secret until the game's release.

Fabulously Olivier Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Koei has recently been excellent about demos. All of their new Warriors games have them. I'd say exactly one month before release, but that's the release date for Touken Ranbu. So maybe the 31st or so.

I couldn't find any info on it, but I know that the Japanese and Western versions released a year or so apart due to the pandemic making English recording incredibly difficult. I've been using AoC as my basis for Three Hopes getting a demo, but the first FEW didn't have one from what I can see. (Although any fact checking would be greatly appreciated!)

Persona 5 Strikers and Touken Ranbu have gotten Japan-exclusive demos. I guess we could chalk the P5S situation up to extreme localization issues, while Touken Ranbu is almost completely aimed at the Japanese audience to begin with. The first FEW really predates the whole demo resurgence. Which as far as I'm aware, DW9 was the first modern Warriors game to get a demo/free version (largely because it sucks terribly and needed one!)

TheCraigadile Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 From what I remember the age of calamity demo released like 3ish weeks before the released date, so I’d expect it to drop at the start of June. Which, kind of crazy to think about, is about three weeks away itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But 30 days before our release date unfortunately coincides with the release day of another musou game. Which is crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabulously Olivier Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Hubert x Dark Mage] One of Hubert's preferred classes. Attacks foes primarily with dark magic. This wording is interesting because it's ambiguous. Is it just meant to be interpreted as it being one class in their only preferred class line (ie: Petra only likes the Thief -> Assassin line), or can a unit have multiple distinct preferred class lines (Petra likes Thief -> Assassin and Wyvern Rider -> Wyvern Lord)?

Maybe that means they should release a demo a week and a month early as a way to please Three Hopes fans and try to entice the Touken Ranbu fans on the fence or something. "Hey, you like this demo? Well, we have a new Warriors game coming out next week - give it a try!" "Hey, you like this demo, well, we have a FEW game out already! Pick it up and get some cool bonuses!" I know that the Japanese Twitter has mentioned the latter, but the end of a demo could do that for Western audiences as well as drive that point home... 2 minutes ago, Fabulously Olivier said: This wording is interesting because it's ambiguous.

I'm hoping for the latter. Hubert may like Dark Mage/Sage and Warlock. Or maybe he'll finally get his chance to be a flying magical unit in this game.

Fabulously Olivier Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Maybe the demo would coincide with the next trailer, whenever it is. I mean, that's how I would do a demo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Use the Falchion Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 That's the dream for sure, and that's how I'd do one too. But the marketing on this game has been so over the place that I just can't make a prediction anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tipperthescales Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 ...does no-one find it odd that Shez is single hand wielding in the 2nd and 3rd screens there (and particularly, their relic wing sword is missing)? Thank goodness his neon purple hair's been toned down for now Also, taking a look at the enemy fodder, the armour doesn't quite match up with Adrestia, and it's also too golden to be Church. Is this a new faction or just organised bandits...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabulously Olivier Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Notably, there are exactly enough characters in each house to do daily character profiles (and possibly skill descriptions in the same day), followed by the next class each Friday. The only outlier being Monica for the BE. That could support a big trailer/demo as soon as the 31st. Though they could always give Church/Wolves/miscellanious their own trailers.

tipperthescales Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Welp, I guess we are expecting the next video on Friday again given the timing of today's posts. I think we can see Felix's flash step just after his launching Fraldarius boosted slash, where after R2 he shifts left / leaves an afterimage and gains the aura, then does R1->R2. (Not like there's ever a reason not to dodge / dash when you're moving from battlefield to battlefield, lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabulously Olivier Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Felix is totally Vergil. They just need to add lightning to his attacks so he can be the storm that is approaching! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
