| Granblue Fantasy Uma Musume Crossover Event Receives a Date Posted: 26 Jan 2022 02:30 AM PST
Cygames has revealed the official release date for its planned crossover event between Granblue Fantasy and Uma Musume: Pretty Derby. According to a Tweet from the official account, the event will kick off on February 8, 2022. The crossover was first teased in December 2021 During the Granblue Fes 2021 live event. Its Japanese title translates to " Uma Musume: Pretty Derby --Fanfare Echoing through the Blue Sky " . https://twitter.com/granbluefantasy/status/1485900278390206467?s=20 Uma Musume: Pretty Derby is a mobile game also developed and operated by Cygames. It's a "raising"-style RPG, where players spend most of their time developing and upgrading their chosen team of horse girls. compete in races, and perform songs onstage in idol-style events. Cygames didn't broadcast any other new details in the announcement, but the teases from December promised at least two new Uma Musume additions to the Granblue Fantasy playable roster. Due to an ongoing freeze on new voice recordings due to COVID-19 prevention measures, In previous instances of voiceover suspension for Granblue Fantasy , Cygames added voiceover later on to the archived and rerun versions of the affected event.

| Twisted Wonderland Characters Often Show Their Good Sides Posted: 25 Jan 2022 12:00 PM PST
So, the gimmick with Aniplex, Disney, and f4samurai's Twisted Wonderland is people are in a high school where iconic Disney villains are admired. That means people like the Queen of Hearts, Hades, Jafar, and Scar are heralded as "The Legendary Seven." Each one has a dorm tied to them. Every guy is based on a villain somehow. For example, Floyd and Jade Leech are based on Ursula's eels Flotsam and Jetsam. But while the idea is "guys based on bad guys," the Twisted Wonderland characters often really aren't bad guys. Rather, there are a lot of moments where they're good people and even heroic. One of the first "good guy" characters people will meet in Twisted Wonderland is Deuce Spade. (He's based on a Alice in Wonderland spade card soldier.) The player runs into him when pursuing the Heartslabyul first year Ace Trappola, who got into trouble with them and Grim and is supposed to take part in a window-cleaning punishment. Deuce helps you stop Ace from evading punishment. His goal is established as trying to be an honor roll student and succeed. He's generally level-headed and amiable. Granted, as a member of the cast in this sort of game, he does have a side. There are times when he'll ask for things like coffee from the player in exchange for doing the right thing. But he's generally a good person.
Savanaclaw's Jack Howl is another good example. He acts like he's as tough as the other people, but he's genuinely honorable and fair. This doesn't mean he won't take part in some malicious acts. But spoilers aside, it does mean that he'll give his all and be fair. Vignettes from his SSR also show the sort of respect he pays to people he finds deserves it. For example, he admires both Leona and Ruggie. However in those side stories especially, he goes out of his way to show tribute to Ruggie. It's notable, given he's usually more aloof to some people in school With many SSRs not yet in the game, only a few story chapters localized, and no real events yet, other hints at Twisted Wonderland characters' good sides are more anecdotal. Their appearances during chats, story missions, and vignettes have to suffice. But even then, they offer hints at how people really are. When Ruggie uses the items Jade left out, he immediately offers to make good on the "unintended" contract. Jade, despite his nature, easily accepts the opportunity to learn new recipes for those ingredients. It's why he left items out in the first place, after all. While Azul is out for himself, he's affable while he is. He shows courtesy and respect to other students. If you happen to get one of Ortho's cards, his chats are quite pleasant. Is he over-enthusiastic? Yes. But he's also devoted to his brother Idia and generally both positive and refreshing. (One could argue that his more negative tendencies are due to his age and nature.)
There's also the matter of characters' backgrounds and development. As you collect their cards in Twisted Wonderland, you'll get to see more one-on-one scenes with them. Between that and story progress, you'll learn more about who they are and what led them to Night Raven College. You'll learn why Leona might seem so lazy. You'll see why Riddle gets so strict. The game helps you understand their motivations. Then, as you go through the main campaign, you'll see how they develop and grow. As they experience certain trials, we even see them acknowledge their flaws and work past them. Though in some cases, such as with Deuce's SSR card, it is clear that even someone like Riddle who seems intimidating could genuinely want to help teach those in his dorm and see them do well. Rather than being really "bad," the Twisted Wonderland characters embody bad boy types. This means that while they can be arrogant, cold, greedy, rash, sadistic, or self-centered, these might be passing and only part of who they are. Also, those tendencies might be there for a reason. As folks get to know them, they might see the other facets of their personalities. Interactions with other characters can show how they behave differently with people they care about or trust. We also might see events show them that how they're acting isn't ideal, and they'll grow out of it. Twisted Wonderland is available on Android and Apple iOS devices. The anime adaptation will appear on Disney+. The post Twisted Wonderland Characters Often Show Their Good Sides appeared first on Siliconera. |
| Stranger of Paradise Gameplay Showcased in Battle Basics Video Posted: 25 Jan 2022 11:00 AM PST
While the final Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin trailer focused on the story, the new Battle Basics one is all about gameplay. Square Enix released a new look at how the game works. This is a more informational one focused on Jack's capabilities. It also helps explains how to deal with enemies and use different jobs. Things kick off by introducing Jack. He's fighting with Ash, Jed, Neon, and Sophia. It shows off the action-RPG gameplay first. It shows how Jack might be fighting alongside two allies and deal with monsters twice as large as they are. As they attack, an enemy's break gauge will wear down. When it does, they can combine that with a Soul Burst to shatter them. There will also be Command Ability special skills that can deal additional damage or offer various perks. After that, the video shows how Jack can use a Soul Shield to defend. The segment specifically shows how the move lets him steal enemy magic to use against them. After general gameplay, the video focuses on Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin jobs work. The Swordsman, Lancer, Ronin, Duelist, Mage, Swordfighter, Marauder, and Pugilist all get highlighted here. When you choose a job, you can also set your combo abilities for it to customize your attacks and moveset. Finally, the end of the video brings up how Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin multiplayer works. Each player gets individual spoils of war. People can go through the main campaign and special or endgame content with others. Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin will come to the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC via Epic Games Store on March 18, 2022. People who pre-order a digital copy will get early access on March 15, 2022. In case you missed it, Siliconera spoke with Director Daisuke Inoue and Producer Jin Fujiwara about it.

| New KOF XV Commentary Goes Over Elisabeth’s Coup De Vent Posted: 25 Jan 2022 09:00 AM PST
As usual, SNK Character Designer Tomohiro Nakata offered new KOF XV commentary on Elisabeth Blanctorche, the most recently revealed fighter. Each one of these installments goes over details about the person in the game. This time, it's more of a brief overview. Nakata talked about how her look changed. Her Coup De Vent attack came up too. Elisabeth first appeared in The King of Fighters with KOF XI. Back then, she wasn't on Ash Crimson's team like she is now. Rather, she appeared on the Rivals team alongside Benimaru Nikaido and Duo Lon. However, her Coup De Vent attack last appeared in KOF XIII. Here are Nakata's thoughts on Elisabeth.
Previously, Nakata talked about Kula Diamond and her moveset. KOF XV will appear on February 17, 2022 on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store.

| FFXIV Congested Worlds List Updated Posted: 25 Jan 2022 08:30 AM PST
There's a new update on which worlds are considered congested in FFXIV. When Square Enix opened up the new Oceanic data center, it also mentioned worlds that are now too full. In total, 24 worlds spread across the European, Japanese, and North American data centers are now congested. Europe is the region with the fewest FFXIV worlds newly dubbed congested. On Chaos, Cerberus, Moogle, and Ragnarok are full. On Light, Odin, Phoenix, and Shiva are affected. Eight are out in Japan. Asura (Mana), Bahamut (Gaia), Chocobo (Mana), Gungnir (Elemental), Titan (Mana), Tonberry (Elemental), and Typhon (Elemental) are all full. North America's got 11 new congested worlds now. Aether is most affected. Adamantoise, Cactaur, Faerie, Gilgamesh, Jenova, Midgardsormr, Sargatanas, and Siren are all there and congested. Primal's Behemoth and Leviathan and Crystal's Balmung are too. As a reminder, there are limitations in effect on congested FFXIV worlds. People can't create a new character on one with that designation. They also can't start a Home World Transfer to one. However, if someone has a character on a congested world, they can take advantage of a free transfer to one that isn't. The world status site offers regular updates on which ones are or aren't full. Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. The post FFXIV Congested Worlds List Updated appeared first on Siliconera. |

| Pokemon Legends: Arceus Starters Evolutions Teased in New Video Posted: 25 Jan 2022 07:30 AM PST
There's a hint of things to come in the last Pokemon Legends: Arceus trailer, as it teases the final evolutions for the three Hisuian starters. People can pick between Cyndaquil, Oshawott, and Rowlet. The video hints at Hisuian forms for Typhlosion, Samurott, and Decidueye. It also shows off more gameplay and points of interest in the Hisui region. The last Pokemon Legends: Arceus trailer doesn't fully show the final evolutions for the Hisuian versions of Decidueye, Samurott, and Typhlosion. Rather, it vaguely teases what comes after Dartrix, Dewott, and Quilava. The focus is more on the three characters' eyes, while the rest of them is a black silhouette. As a reminder, there are already leaks for the game. Some people ended up already getting copies of the game. This means that spoilers for the Pokemon Legends: Arceus final evolutions are online. Which means people who don't want to see them yet should take care when on social media or online. Pokemon Legends: Arceus will come to the Nintendo Switch on January 28, 2022. People who pre-order a digital copy will also get some Heavy Balls they can use to catch Pokemon in-game.
