Barely any gameplay...

[Billy Blaze]

From what I've read, it's 20% gameplay and 80% story.
And it seems like there is a reason why trailers mostly showed story stuff instead of actual gameplay.

Seems like an easy skip to me.
Normally I'm excited for "Koei Tecmo" titles... but the demo of "Touken Ranbu Warriors" was already laughable when it comes to gameplay mechanics.

The only games worth playing nowadays seem to be Switch exclusive, since Nintendo would lose their crap if their IPs get messed up.

Whoa, what the heck? Do they think the fate franchise is a Visual Novel? God, imagine playing a game and it winds up being a story, barf, am I right?

I've played a "Fate" game before, also in the musou style (but another dev) and it had plenty of gameplay.
So what am I thinking that people who basically created the genre knock it out of the park instead of toning the gameplay down?

Seriously, shut up if you have no clue and stop fanboying around...

It's a Fate game. Of course there is going to be a lot of story. Though I don't think people have finished it yet, so I'm not sure about 20/80.

No clue? What do you think the Fate franchises roots are? They are eroge. visual novels. 18+ at that. People weren't playing fate for game play my guy.

Depends, the Fate Extella series have a ton of story stuff but also a lot of gameplay.

Is it similar to Fate Extella?

If you've played games like P5 Strikers then you'll know what type of gameplay to expect out of a title like this.

It seems similar... at least that 1vs1000 mentality.
But when it's mostly about the story, than it's guaranteed that the gameplay is just tacked on.

I kinda hate "Persona" simply because the gameplay takes a backseat to the story and school sim and time management and what not.
And since "Strikers" is basically a followup, I'm not interested.

For example, I'm much more of a fan when it comes to classic "(Shin) Megami Tensei" games.
They start out slow and story heavy, but when the gameplay goes, it goes... and that for long stretches.

Ngl, DMC style Fate game would be amazing.

[Fox]

@Asiorak777 That's what Extella should have been but they decided it was better to make a game that would jerk Nero's fan more for some reason.

I am of the mentality that visual novels =/= game and should not be marketed as games.

Heck steam should separate visual novels from the rest of the library into their own thing.

Although we should remember that there are games that have visual novel story telling with gameplay segments, such as the Utawarerumono series. They are visual/kinetic novels that have game play in them. So we could call those games.
