Holyshit you fags couldn't be more wrong
It looks fucking great
Everything looks top notch, the animations looks fucking great, every character seems to play differently.

Doomposters & srpg fags stay away plaese.
The SRPG gameplay wasn't significant anyway, this was always more of a dating sim. They need to get the dating right, and Snoy won't let them.
It's fucked.
Looks good to me. I'm looking forward to it
I'm optimistic. They changed the gameplay which took out some of the hype. Still getting it though.
Any help getting sakura wars 1 to work on pc lads?
This game looks soulful as hell.
Day One, bros.
Is this the one drawn by Kubo?
The opening and the Sakura music video are fun too.

Ms. Sakura is sooooo cute!!
He made the initial character designs and the art for the collector's edition cover, at least.
I liked the one for Wii and this one looks fucking great.
But sadly its a PS4 exclusive so unless it comes to PC I wont play it.
>ps4 only
Censorship and low sales incoming. Should have made it for Switch.
Wait it's not a SRPG? I'm significantly less interested now.
PC when?
I think it is an action game. I haven't seen any combat though.
I was not prepared for that gameplay trailer. Not that I don't like it, but it's a complete 180 for the mech part.
Did you play the SRPG parts of the older games?
Kubo only did the Japanese team and Japanese side characters
China team was done by K-On's character artist from the anime
British team is by SAO's LN artist
German team is by GUP and Strike Witches character designer.
Game looks great. But Sony can still suck it and I won't be buying it until it hits other platforms. Fuck Sony.
Seething tendies :^)
I dislike models, but other than that it looks pretty good. Bunbun's characters look much better than everyone else's, but it's not surprising.
>nagoshi changed sakura wars to real time combat
>changed yakuza 7 to turn based combat
what did he mean by this?
??? Yes? The gameplay is perfectly serviceable.
get a windows 95 era pc or emulate the dreamcast versio
Yeah, they were perfectly serviceable, but I wouldn't call them so outstandingly fantastic that swapping out the SRPG portion is a terrible error, let alone an unrecoverable one. The game's focus has always been tilted more to the character interaction adventure story side.
and the gameplay here looks perfectly serviceable too, so what's the difference?
It was the best looking game at TGS by far. Honestly hype as fuck for it at this point.
Yeah, but is the dating good?
Go be miserable somewhere else, faggot.
I've always wondered why Switch owners bought a console without games in the first place.
Indeed. You can ask for a date upon the first time you meet them.
Kubo draws the best brown girls, I swear
I own a PS4 but I'll rather wait until it's available on PC.
That said, I don't understand why is this game a thing; Sakura Wars is a relic of the 90s and has no place on the modern gaming landscape.
I've never played a Sakura Wars game and I don't like srpgs. But this looks alright, I like those little mech designs and the action combat.
Sorry actual fans, I'm part of the problem.
The SRPG part of the older games wasn't really important.
People here claim it was SNES era Fire Emblem tier and a fundamental part of the series, but in reality it was even more simplistic than a modern SRW game and it was just a very small part of the game, which always have been first and foremost a dating sim.
So's FF7, but that's coming back too.
I think the gameplay looks good, but jesus, I fucking hate the way the did the lips on the girls. It looks they did a Conan O'brien tier mouth-over with a doll's mouth on top of an anime character.
At any rate, it's probably been censored to hell and back anyway, so none of it matters anyway.
They conceal feminine nudity with modest camera angles.
FFVII is kept relevant by nostalgia.
Absolutely nobody cares about Sakura Taisen.
You're looking at it from the point of view of a demographic that has almost no nostalgia for it because it was never actually released to them. On the other hand, Sega is a Japanese company in Japan, where they polled Japanese gamers and every year for years on end the results kept getting topped by, "We want Sakura Taisen".
Tons of nostalgia exists, it's just that most of it is from outside our local neighborhood.
But will it have Mech B-Ball?
wow it actually looks like a ps4 game, why many of the nip games looks like it stay in ps2/ps3 era
she cum
LOOK AT THOSE FUCKING JUGS!!!
URGRHGHGHGGGHHHHHHHHHHH MY FUCKING DICK IS BOUT TO EXPLODE BROS!!!!
Also maximum-power marriage proposals.
Disgusting the amount of not weebs who keep begging for an English dub
can I fuck her ? if so, will buy
Yes.
Nice but they lost me if it's going to be too much dating sim and the story is going to be retarded like usual.
I adore the setting and the music, but I hated how much the actual srpg gameplay was more of an afterthought and it focused more on the VN/dating sim elements.
Let's see how it turns out.
but muh murican nostalgia
i don't think the amount of dating sim/action would change with this new game, if anything it would be more skewed towards the dating sim parts cause they have to sell this new set of women to a franchise that is run by nostalgia at this point. You can still listen to the soundtracks i guess
And I still can't decide which of the new set I'd aim for first.
the game looks so full of soul, I hope it comes to the west
Can I pair characters with other ones? This Mc looks like shit
perfect
How good is this game in waifu mechanics?
??? n-nani???
>hours of watching TGS in the background hoping for SMT news
>HA
>SHI
>RE
I'm cautiously excited for it, and I love the Bleach author's designs, since that was always his strong point.
But I wish they hadn't killed off the original cast. That just feels shitty.
>can't wax the girl
shit/10
>tits
where's the PC port
So damn good.
Sega really showed that shit way too early. Surprised that Sakura Wars isn't multiplat given how big the Switch is in Japan.
Like this will only do alright in the west.
Looks way too good to be true. As a long time fan, I couldnt be happier. This really feels lile a new Sakura Game on new consoles.
I have no idea what's being said, but it's nice to be playing a MC who has some actual character. Even if it's goofiness up to him being a complete dork, that's a lot better than standard template everyman.
I'm still impressed how people in the west never bother to check Japanese sales numbers for this sort of games before mentioning Switch.
I'll buy it when it comes out on PC.
I'm just wondering with how well FE did overall that a SRPG dating Sim would also do alright on the Switch. The Wii did bomb I guess.
How did VC4 do in Japan? That's the closest comparison I have.
Yeah fuck beat em up garbage. Completely uninterested in remakes that change the gameplay this much.
If the original SRPG gameplay was so bad, why didn't they just fix it? Isn't that the point of a remake, to fix the original release and improve on it?
They're not confirmed dead. They just went missing.
because Sakura War was never about SRPG?
>How did VC4 do in Japan?
Unfortunately it didn't perform really well.
>How did VC4 do in Japan?
>PS4
62,921 Week 1, 76,778 by the last time it made it to top 20.
>NSW
5,596 Week 1, never made it to top 20 after that.
>Evil Sakura
I thought she got married to MC-kun at the end of 4? How could he let this happen to her?
That's a shame. At least Sakura Wars seems like a safe bet to sell pretty well. Still weird about its exclusivity, but whatever.
>How could he let this happen to her?
We're totally getting a branwashed Oogami too for sure.
The Switch version came out really late didn't it? Smash was around the corner so it may have gotten eaten?
Overall, those aren't great sales. I wish Sega would publish international sales because I remember the Switch version generating a lot of buzz in the west.
New main character has to fight someone I guess. Weird how the guys are barely in the marketing. New MC looks like a lot of fun.
>playstation or switch game gets ported to pc
>fucking xbox button prompts everywhere
Fuck you Microsoft! I won't forgive you for this. PC != Xbox. Fuck your shitbox and fuck your shit buttons!
Right now, the various editions of Shin Sakura Taisen that Amazon.co.jp has for preorder are at 5th, 8th, 14th, and 41st place on the PS4 games sales chart. Still three months away from release, though.
It'll probably peak at 2 because Pokémon won't leave for a while.
Well, the previous two MCs had some character themselves:
>Oogami
A hotblooded guy with a natural charisma that made him a top tier leader. He was the boss for four games straight, commanding four different squads across the world, and then settled down. In the fifth game, he was replaced by:
>Shinjiro
In comparison to Oogami, he's a meek little Japanese boy, but still an upbeat go-getter who doesn't back down. His meek demeanor is especially apparent when thrust into his station in AMERICA where everybody else is loud and rowdy and aggressive. It actually takes him a while to get everybody to stop being so dismissive of and guarded around him.
This new guy seems to be more straight-laced on the surface, but is really a goof who can go with the flow, perhaps even more of a lady killer than Oogami.
It's better than having ugly "1,2,3,4" prompts.
>musou
Nani?
>he SRPG gameplay wasn't significant anyway
Eh???
Wait, is- oh, it's- it's not an SRPG anymore?! Well, that's surprising... But yeah, lets be honest, the combat gameplay was always second fiddle to the dating sim.
>that technique
is that one of Rurouni Kenshins? I sweat that looks like a Hiten Mitsurugi move i've seen but that's a completely different series
So the new guy is Ichigo's dad. Also it's kind of nice that Sega let the original series end. Oogami married Sakura and he had his happy ending.
Until now.
the themesongs, especially this newest remix, are really good. Been listening to them all weekend
kek I was doing the exact same thing
revision 1 is still my favoritethe new game take place 10-20 years after 4 so if anything, he's oogami's son
Even games that come out on PS4 and Switch on the same date usually sell two or three times more on the PS4.
the people that say this is like a musou have obviously never played musou games. i really hate when secondaries shit on my favorite genre because they're angry about something.
this game plays like a fucking typical arpg. complete with party member switching.
I doubt that Oogami married anyone other than Sakura. This guy could just be his own person but Japan loves that shit. Hopefully if he is his kid, they comment and give an answer about his mom.
VC4 had some weird choices for character design. Whereas VC1 had just a fistful of lowkey 90s anime mixed in (save for Selvaria, who was supposed to be a bit out of place), VC4 sat at a spot that wasn't anime enough for people who like anime but was too anime for people who don't. It needed to either dial it up or dial it down. It had poor art direction.
I would consider it a bad gauge for how anime games from Sega can do.
Didnt Builders outpace on Switch? Initial sales sure but Switch is oddly evergreen in that regard. I find it hard to that the Japanese Switch and PS4 audiences are that exclusive to one another.
>I hope it comes to the west
user, they announced the localization immediately after the game first announced.
>Oogami married Sakura
Not really. you get to pick oogami's lover in 4. If you have been carrying over saves from 1-3. Your main 2 girls have a bloodbath love triangle. it's fun.
New guy is not related to Oogami at all. His name is Seijuro Kamiyama. the game is set 12 years after 5.
The games make it really seem like Sakura is the end girl. It would be dumb to not at least show what happened during those 12 years. Oogami marrying a random makes no sense and him not showing up would be dumb considering Sakura is all evil now.
Maybe, but that second-sword block also works.
Erica is clearly the one. She gives Oogami a good morning dance every day.
reading that it baffles me why the english translation of sakura taisen 1 is on the saturn rather than the dreamcast
actual fans only care about the vn stuff anyways
>the new game take place 10-20 years after 4 so if anything, he's oogami's son
That's doubtful, considering Seijirou was born three years before the start of Sakura Taisen 1.
The guy's got choices.
i'm not saying that soujirou is oogami's son, 'im only correcting the guy i replied to that he's ichiro's dad and saying if anything he's his son by giving him the rough timeline of the new game compared to the original 4
You're in the basement considering yourself lucky you weren't spotted by the women's bath when the Chinese girl walks up and is startled to see you standing by it. Timer's running, and your available responses are:

>No problem! I'm a woman!
Tiananmen Square Winnie The Pooh to you, young lady.
since when were you under the impression that this wouldn't be a kamige?
Not sure they'd have any frame of reference for that in 1940.
i'm Mao's right hand man
A misunderstanding, the user suggested that he is like IchiGO's dad (from Bleach) in regards to personality, not that he is related to IchiRO Oogami.
i wished i lived in such autistic world
oh yeah, i forgot fucking kubo made the character designs
A world of wholesome headpats.
>always use the same fucking moves in every videos
>b-but the gameplay is not shit guys!
Yeah, sure.
imagine the smell of those sweaty boobs
>>Sakura wars looks bad
>>Gameplay looks like shit
>>its just another cheap musou clone
It's just Yakfags buttmad Nagoshi stole Yakuza's action combat and gave it to Sakura wars.
Holy shit this trailer
Kinda interested in it. What's the game about? Only knowledge I have about the series is from the 2000 anime. Kinda sad that they didn't use the character from that anime. But from what I've read, they changed the character each time. Anyway, where's Sumire in the 2020 version. The redhead is Kanna right? The brown one is probably Maria (white hair chicks are usually russian). The green girl is probably Iris. Could be Kohran, but she's blond. So I doubt that.
What's the game about? Kinda interested since I've just rewatched the old anime a last month. Heard that a game coming out. Anyway from this , why isn't there a Sumire clone? The red hair is obviously Kanna. Brown girl is Maria, white hairs girls are usually russian. The girl in green is either Iris or Kohran. But I'm leaning towards Iris since she's blonde. Dude is Ohgami.
There doesn't need to be a Sumire clone because the actual Sumire is still there as the new manager of the theatre.
Wait. Is this a sequel? Heard from someone that the girl in the mask in the trailer IS Shinguji Sakura. Thought that shit was whack. So I just ignored it.
You have to?
>What's the game about?
Set in 1940, World War 2 never happened, the Imperial Robocops led by Oogami were so good at their jobs that monsters and bad guys have been chilling out for the past decade. Now robocop squads around the world are challenging one another in a mock battle tournament because the Japanese love their fucking tournament arcs, just in time for some evil forces to pull some shit.
Of course it's a sequel.
>no exposed shoulders
#NotMySumire
Yes, it's a sequel. Takes place 12 years after 5.
It's not called Sakura Wars 6 because of new game play systems and trying to lure in newcomers to the series.
There are a few possibilities. Either it is Sakura, or it's a clone of Sakura, or it's a simulacrum of Sakura, but considering Yasha's appearance and the fact that Chisa Yokoyama is voicing her, we can be fairly safe in the assumption that she's Sakura-related in some way.
Also, the new manga confirms that, back in 1930, 7-year-old Amamiya Sakura was deeply impressed by the heroic deeds of Shinguji Sakura.
Wait. Wait. Hold up. You mean to tell me, the anime that I used to watch a long time ago (and rewatched recently). Has sequels made but in game form? And there's already 6 of those games?
If you are a tourist and a faggot please stay the fuck away from Sakura Taisen. Especially you, OP! You type like I did when I was twelve.
I fucking hate Kubo design holy shit
It was originally a game series...
The anime was made to promote the games...
youtube.com
Sakura Taisen began as a Sega Saturn game in 1996. It's Yea Forums-original. All of the Yea Forums spun off from that afterward.
No, but since the gameplay reveal there's been an uptick in people preemptively bashing it for not being turn-based when it's later revealed that they didn't actually experience how that turn-based gameplay felt in these games in the first place.
Oh damn. I didn't know that. I thought it was anime original. Damn, where should I start then?
Holy shiy that 14 year gap. Did the series "died" back in '05?
Is it too late to not get Shin Sakura Taisen translated?
Yeah, it more or less died with the dreamcast. It tried to continue with PS2, but it didn't work.
Now we are in attempt to review it.
A manga is released weekly, new game in December. And next year a new TV anime and stage show.
>Did the series "died" back in '05?
I think Sega's financial situation at the time had a lot to do with this, too.
Revive, not review...
youtube.com
Trailer music
That's weird since exactly everyone I've talked to before the announcement of the new game seemed to prefer the remakes to the games that actually used the SRPG combat.
Which remakes?
Is there any translation for this?
>Holy shiy that 14 year gap. Did the series "died" back in '05?
youtu.be
And the LE box is going to come with audio CDs of the vocal songs from all six games.
Day 1 for me. Looks great.
Who are you fags going to romance? I’m stuck between the tomboy and the maid gremlin.
Why not use PSX2 and play in ST Atsuki Chishioni? It almost works fine.
tomboy, i'm already sold on asking her out right off the bat
Kaoru.
If she's not available, then I dunno. I plan to try them all with multiple playthroughs, but which girl to choose first is a harder question.
Can you pick the girls from the other squads
DOA Scarlet
I miss Kubo, say what you will about Bleach but his art style and aesthetics are the best.
Post the kabedon webm.
God i so happy i didn't hang myself
Man sega is really going all out with this series revival shit, the new game has a fuck ton of soul from what I've seen so far. The new op just fills me with joy.
Im excited because recently, sega has been making a miraculous comeback considering their financial situation years back.
Any of you Yea Forumsros feel the same
Where's Rukia?
I'm a tomboyfag, unless she has an absolute shit tier personality. I'm going all in. Second playthrough I'll probably hit up that lewd loli ninja or !Yoruichi milf.
>Yeah, they were perfectly serviceable, but I wouldn't call them so outstandingly fantastic that swapping out the SRPG portion is a terrible error, let alone an unrecoverable one. The game's focus has always been tilted more to the character interaction adventure story side.
Feels like the recent Fire Emblem games got a lock on how to integrate both character interactions and SRPG play mechanics. But I feel Sega was rather hasty in doing action instead of SRPG since they could have the opportunity to give Intelligent Systems some competition
>the animations looks fucking great
Not the running animation
Yeah they've been hitting it out of the park lately.
Was cautiously optimistic about the new Yakuza being a jrpg but the TGS stuff looked good enough. Even the new Mario and Sonic looks good.
Only thing I'm worried for now is the Monkey Ball port. Unless they made some big changes that one's gonna turn out bad.
I will forever miss the main character designer of the series though. I prefer him over Kubo.
pro-tip it's the same guy who did vesperia and many tales cover art.
I hope this comes to PC. I really don't want to buy a PS4 for two or three games total.
Both gameplay styles are important. It's compensation for not getting to bone the heroines.
Either nu-Sakura, tomboy red head, or Hayamin.
>peak Oogami
>best setting
>all of humanity's worth of soul poured into one game
He knows how to draw cool characters.
BEST CAST
BEST PERIOD OF GAMING
ALL OF SEGA'S FIRE IN ONE SINGLE GAME
I'll forever miss this game
>that op
Not really liking it.
Is V good?
No.
Cute!
That's why him doing character designs is the best outcome. We get nice character designs without having to suffer through his god awful writing.
Eh.
It's ok I guess.
why is sakura ai so flat?
I didn't realize Kizuna Ai was getting a game.
But will they bring back the cafe?
Why Kubo of all people?
youtube.com
Experience Kino 90s sega period user
When looking for a character designer for New Sakura Wars, Sega thought Kubo would be a good fit for the theme of "Japanese and Katana".
Sega has also made Bleach games before, so it might have been easy to work with him also.
Because he might be a shit writer, but he's a great ideas guy and a amazing character designer.
>get in France
>French qt doesn't believe in yamatodamashii
>mfw her whole arc in making her trust and fall for you
Based Oogami. Seriously GOAT MC
Sakura Wars is amalgamation of Japanese soul.
>Sakura Wars gets this
>Front Mission got Left Alive
don't even remind of of that shit
Square doesn't give a shit about it's IPs and their fans
Meanwhile Sega revives everything
Sega was just a miku and yakuza company until new leadership stepped up.
VC4 and Sakura Wars are hopefully just the beginning for one bright future
