Character creation

[Bondrewd]

Is this game really not going to get a character creation, I have to play as kirito or one of the characters from the series😒, why didn’t they just make it like fatal bullet, they had the perfect blueprint 🤨, what’s the point of online if we’re all just kirito’s or agil’s. Nothing unique?🤨, this might flop.

Bandai just doesn't care about what fans want in the series of games they have the rights too.

Don't remind me, I'm probably never getting a xenosaga rerelease/remaster.

what does that mean?

[illmanneredj]

Character creation but not removing the characters basis to the series. That would still be SAO game.

When I heard that we will be getting SAO game which is more like Fatal Bullet I was excited, I thought finally I would get to play in that fun universe again. But no, we cant have good things, we have to play as Kirito for the hundreth time.
Like what else could there even be to do with this character at this point? Cant we just get an rpg where we can create our character and just experience the SAO world through new point of view, like we did in Fatal Bullet?

Once again, its just an easy skip because I simply do not care about Kirito or his story, especially not after hundred other games that already did it. Didnt Fatal Bullet sell really well? What is it that keeps them from capitalizing on the obvious interest that is there to actually do something like Fatal Bullet again?

glad that many more are showing and speaking up against "no CAC" SAO games.

its just lame to be Kirito for the millionth time lmao

SAO games are either mid or bad. you wont see a single SAO game enter the GOTY nominees. not in this lifetime.

Do they even need to be in GOTY to be good? In my book as long as a game is enjoyable then it is a good game.

I still think they'll add a character creation system in story progress
Sao games tend to do that awkwardly

Still my created character is practically Strea so I'm pretty much fine either way XD

No way they'd do that and not at minimum mention it somewhere before release

The play style in Fatal Bullet is based on the weapon type. Unlike this game that based on the character. Each character has their own unique moveset, skills, and even dodging. Some characters, like Leafa, can even fly.

My observation of this situation is some old SAO fans are being discouraged from playing the game, because of a lack of CaC and an actual focus on Online(in sword art Online) elements. But it is also drawing in a lot of non-SAO fans who see a good game for once with the label "Sword art online" on it. And i think at the end of the day, that's what matters. SAO games are notoriously bad to aggressively mid, even Fatal Bullet at its best is still mid. i put hundreds of hours into it still because its good enough but there was a lot about the game i felt needed vast improvements on.

It will happen, maybe not in this decade, but it will. Modern people are just too narrow minded to see that Kawahara is actually a *&^%$#@ genius and even so-called evangelist. One day, when almost everyone will stop thinking about SAO and Scamco will stop milking it (and, hopefully, even get rid of the IP rights for it for cheap), someone finally will be able to create a good *&^%$@ SAO game that maybe won't become a game of the year, but most certainly will be nominated (while it will easily get "VR game of the year" title if it will be a VR project).
Just you wait.

Well im sure there will be a few outfit for each character to unlock so you guys wont look like clones in multiplayer
