Breathing/BDA showcase video on release?

[muted cove]

Release a showcase video before/on release so that first players have an easier time choosing what ability they want, it could only show the abilities partially if you still want to keep a bit of the exploration part of choosing your ability

There is currently no release date for Hinokami. #❓│faq

Okay dyno I get it

Thank you

[rugged tinsel]

That kinda ruins the point of yall playing the game and experimenting to try things

[muted cove]

Fair but progression takes time

Especially in an rpg game

So trying every thing will take quite a decent amount of time

And eventually people will just drop showcases themselves

So it should only make it simpler

[muted cove]

Although ig that's the appeal but my second point still stands

[rugged tinsel]

That's... sort of the point of an rpg game

[rugged tinsel]

Because people know it will get views due to players not wanting to explore and try things themselves anymore

People mostly just want things handed to them in games with tutorials and walkthroughs for everything

[muted cove]

You've got a good point ig

Can't really disagree

[candid sparrow]

I think they should leave that to the YouTubers and stuff

[muted cove]

Fair

[rugged tinsel]

I think we should bonk the youtubers that do it and make people play the game for themselves

[candid sparrow]

Or that too😂

I see nothing wrong with a BRIEF showcase of like 1 or 2 abilities while choosing something that essentially defines your gameplay for a huge portion, if not the entirety of your play time.

Showing first and second skill only seems fair, or if there are basic attack effect changes, showing those and just the first skill seems just as fair. Yes the game is meant to be played, but in my case I'm an adult with a life and realistically want to choose one thing and stick to it for literally ever. Nothing wrong with me wanting that life long decision to be aided by a SMALL showcase (do not show me anything too cool or I will lose my mind)

[rugged tinsel]

no matter what, four days in there will be a showcase of everything

[slow gyro]

Well yeah of course, that's the case with any game.

But there are people like me (I hope) who don't look up any media related to the games they play until they put it down entirely.

[rugged tinsel]

my point is mroe that the showcases will happen no matter what, there is no need for the dev team to make videos of the content

[pearl beacon]

i disagree

i think players would want to have a general idea of the breathing/bda before they actually obtain it, especially since switching breathings/bda isn’t immediate

assuming the showcase is kept brief, players would still need to actually try out the breathing/bda themselves to get a proper feel for it, and to see whether or not it actually suits their playstyle. so the “exploration” part is somewhat still present

[rugged tinsel]

I know that players will want the showcases, but they will be made immediately by creators and kinda ruin the point of games, as I said

[pearl beacon]

i think our ideas of the showcase videos are different

i was thinking more of a brief teaser vid just to kinda show off what the new breathing/bda looks like

[rugged tinsel]

I know

my point is that the videos will be made immediately no matter what, that is the state of gaming now, it doesn't matter if the devs make it or not

[pearl beacon]

fair enough

[rugged tinsel]

people are so desperate for previews and summaries of how things are rather than just trying and taking the time playing

[pearl beacon]

not much practical use for it, but it’s still pretty nice to have

maybe the devs can release a teaser before the actual release of the bda/breathing

[pearl beacon]

but it’s probably too much work

[pearl beacon]

just read the post’s title, didn’t realise he specified “on release” that’s mb
