Absolutely love these games. It’s sad that there aren’t more. Played Final Fantasy Tactics and Front Mission 3 like crazy in High School.

No matter what you release people will always say something dumb. Learn to appreciate This game is FREE. Give me a free title better than this ill wait. 🤷🏻‍♂️ If youre a fan of the said genre youll play no matter what. FFT fans been playing WOTV for years and this is better than WOTV.

I remember when I first heard that WotV was being developed, and I got so excited for a new FF Tactics type game (including graphic style). I was so disappointed they went with low quality 3D models instead of something more like Sword of Convallaria. This is exactly what I had been waiting for, so excited for SoC!

Finally, KZreadrs giving atention to SoC, this niche game needs to grow!

Hey bud! I am glad u been doing well. I am excited to ur coverage on this game. Hope the best for u

If they just sold me the full game (story mode), preferrably hard copy for switch, I'd pay full price for that. I know that's not very 2024, but I like to own stuff.

Not just me! Coffee Potato liked it when he checked it out a while back too!

I LOVE games with both tactical combat and strategic management layers that interact with one another, like XCOM or Battletech. And I like it when those systems require you to manage a whole roster instead of just focusing on one A team. I am very intrigued to see how this plays for myself! Also, I’ll be using both PC and mobile (assuming your account can be used on both, I don’t know why it wouldn’t) until there’s a Switch version. Once I can use my Switch that’s probably all I’ll need

I'm happy you got sponsorship for this; I think coverage of this game will grow your channel immensely. Btw, do you know if you can link your account across platforms? (commenting this before watching the full video)

I'm really looking forward to this game. Hope to see more videos on this!

If it’s anything like how keys are implemented in Genshin Impact, Their primary function would be to slow players down to promote longer-term engagement. A full 50 hour campaign can be beaten in a few days, which will cause players to leave sooner than the dev would like. Additionally, If players complete story contact gradually, gives the dev time to release more story content without the players losing interest too quickly.

Square just collaborated on Triangle Strategy 2 years ago. It's a fantastic game too!

I feel like if you enjoyed Triangle Strategy or FFT; playing through the non-gacha side Spiral Destiny is an absolute no brainer. A free, multi-branching story that encourages reruns. I was lucky enough to get into the short 1 week of the final CBT, I can't wait for release. I'll be meddling in all aspects of the game (gacha and non) so glad to see more of your content covering SoC!

OOH this game looks good

All these comments seem to be failing to grasp that two things can simultaneously be true. This can be a great game while at the same time gacha and F2P gaming can be a horrible cancer that are causing the industry to shift toward producing garbage.

As gacha games go, I feel like Another Eden was the only game that pulled off the truly-free-to play thing without things feeling like a sleazy attempt to pitch you microtransactions (the soundtrack involved Yasunori Mitsuda, too, so I couldn't *not* try it) If SoC winds up with a model more like that game, I'll probably play it 😊

I haven't seen any mid battle recruits, tho there are NPCs that will fight alongside you. You have a whole town you visit and use when not in battle. No support conversations that I've seen, nor any romance. It's quite different from UO, much closer to Tactics Ogre and FFT than Ogre Battle or UO.

I'd like to get the most out of this game, so I had planned to play both the gacha and non-gacha sides of it. Is it worthwhile to take this approach, or does the amount of duped content between them make it superfluous? Basically, what I'm asking is: are there cross-incentives to play both sides of the game without repeating yourself?

Hmmm... Tactics ogre/Triangle strategy set the bar real high for this genre....

I was under the assumption that single-player would bleed into the gatcha, and vice versa. The fact that you get generics every week instead of having to pull for them is a much better way to do things. I will not recommend the game to people I dont know well, because I can't know if any access to gatcha will get them to become addicted, but there are a very small amount of people I know who can avoid that temptation and might enjoy this.

Oof. F2P and gacha. Hope it turns out good, but not holding out much hope when even straight tactics titles have been pretty bad lately.

I have played the demo to death already. I keep trying to argue with the anti-gacha hate mob in the message boards too. Glad to know it is finally getting released. been hyped for the past few months. Hopefully the monetization is not too egregious, Like tower of fantasy or Genshin....

As long as the game is good and the required investment to play it through 3 times is less than 60 dollars I will be happy.

They are completely separate, so much that how you build your characters use completely different systems. On the gacha side you have a simple tech tree. In the single player you either get them from certain quests or you have a training yard where you choose between actual skills (reactive, passive or active) or a different set of passive skills. In the gacha you choose which weapon you equip on a unit and you choose to raise the weapon's level and break its level etc. in the single player there is none of that. You can craft weapons in the forge or get from a quest, but there is no upgrading them.
