no Philia?

[Kislev]

Iam enjoying the game alot but it came to my atention everyone of the first couple of games is in the game besides Philia for some reason.

I havent played all SAO games so might have a way smaller role in SAO then i know off but every SAO games i played so far she was in and she was always one of my favorite charchters.

Do you all think she might be coming later like Strea as dlc?
Because i realy hope she get added later on but i have no clue if there is more content and Charchters coming to the game or not.

[Togles]

if strea is dlc there is a very high chance philia will be one aswell, no game exclusive characters made it to the base game so id expect them all to be dlc eventually

[Dragotech]

Considering Strea is the first DLC, and she is a gameverse character, there is a chance Philia can make it in the future.

Considering that the Trial has a reward of a sticker with Strea, Philia and Koharu from Integral Factor, there is the possibility that Philia and Koharu will be playable in the future.

Iam not sure who Koharu is but iam glad there is a chance for philia to make her return doesn't help that before this game was release i playing through re hollow fragment where Philia plays a big role.

And she quite quickly became one of my favorites

[Jinxxed]

I hope so. Philia is my favorite character. though, i could barely make it through Lost Song. So i'm not familiar with other game only characters.

She`ll end up being a DLC character along with Rain, Seven and Premiere

[Kituki]

So for the record, what I've noticed is this game is not a gameverse story, but an ANimeverse story. So none of the events from the games are canon here. Meaning Strea, Philia, Rain, Seven, Premiere, and others don't actually exist in the storyline. THat being said, Since Strea is a DLC, like others have said, One would Assume Philia will be too.

I'm personally hoping for Pito, but my guess is that they'll be Future DLC. Hopefully they will be.

Pito is already confirmed. First character pass is Strea, Pito, and M

Answer the release survey since on the 2nd page of the "characters that you would like to see added as playable characters in SAOFD in the future" part, Philia's listed, amongst lots of others. From the looks of things, although they didn't explicitly say it, the two pages are separated by anime and game characters.

I've contributed my part.
