HINOKAMI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When will HINOKAMI Release? ```
> **When it's ready. **
> We understand the excitement, but we want to take our time and make you guys a good game. Hinokami started development in January 2023.
> Games take a long time to make, and the time it takes to make has gotten longer especially since the expected standard has increased on Roblox over the years. We hope to make something we're proud of.
>
> When we release, the game will be paid access release for 400 robux for a few weeks before being free.
> **There have been rumors of a release date, but they have all been false.**
Can I test or get access to Hinokami?
> No. Tester is unobtainable. Sorry.
> You can't pay for tester either.
Will RPG 2 disappear/shutdown when HINOKAMI releases?
> Nope.
> RPG 2 will still be around when we release Hinokami for those who would prefer RPG 2 compared to Hinokami.
> Hinokami/RPG 3 is not a rework or update to RPG 2, its a whole new sequel game.
>
``` Q: Is the game going to have the same skills? Is progression going to transfer? Is all game passes transferring from rpg2? Is Hinokami the same as RPG 2? ```
> Hinokami is a completely new game from scratch, meaning it has no previous connection to DSRPG2 in terms of assets or anything of the like.
> It is NOT A REWORK OR AN UPDATE, it's a BRAND NEW GAME from scratch. They are separate entities that share nothing but the name. (It's not called DSRPG2.5, its a WHOLE NEW GAME).
> Therefore no progress will carry over because there is no logical reason to.
> The only game passes that will be transferring are the Kokushibo Sword and the Vergil Sword because of their value.
```Q: Is combat going to be similar?```
> The combat of the game will be familiar to those who play RPG 2, with some slight differences.
> There's a bit of Deepwoken styled parrying in there mixed in with our traditional stun-based combat.
```Q: Are there going to be factions?```
> Absolutely yes. We appreciate how much you guys loved hanging out in the community, and our staff will do our best to make sure it's great for Hinokami too.
```Q: Is there going to be Sun/Moon Breathing?```
> They will likely not be publicly available in game and will be earned by participating in the community in similar fashion to RPG 2.
> Big Reason is game balancing and and game lifespan. We want players to be able to choose their breathing style rather than have majority of the player base try to get Sun/Moon breathing and treating it like the endgame breathing. Most fun in RPG 2 came from trying different ability kits when you got bored.
> We locked these breathings to being obtained in Factions so it feels more valuable. We get to make it stronger than other breathings too because they had to work hard for it.
```Q: Will there be hybrids?```
> No. Probably never.
> There's multiple reasons why, but the main reason is game balancing. It also eliminates the option of choosing between Human and Demon for players; why would you want to experiment with different builds once you have a Hybrid? It might be fun to have for a few days, but it'll get boring.
```Q: Will there be a Clan/Family System?```
> There will be, but Clans are cosmetic only. Clans grant you unique cosmetics and accessories.
> They will not impact gameplay, but they will impact how cool your friends think you are.
> This is also a great way to support the development of the game.
```Q: Will there be [insert ability] (breathing, BDA, slayer marks)```
> We don't know yet, there will probably be whatever you're talking about in future updates. No promises, but we'll give it our best.
> Drop your ideas in [#1047254744558747778](/guild/614185993469165578/channel/1047254744558747778/) if it hasn't been mentioned already, the developers read it regularly.
>
> Current Breathings: Water, Wind, Thunder, Flame, Insect
```Q: Mobile/Xbox/PS4 Support?```
> There will be both mobile support and controller support. It will either be on release, or on a early update.
