This has gone up for preorder on Amazon UK now.
Yeah it’s defo on my ‘wait and see’ list. Feels a bit odd that it’s two months away and we haven’t seen anything. I guess they want people to try the demo.I don't think we have any footage of this game on the Switch yet? I'd love to give it a try maybe 1 or 2 months after launch. Hope it runs well handheld mode.
Oh. I didn't know a demo is coming. That's neat. Thanks.Yeah it’s defo on my ‘wait and see’ list. Feels a bit odd that it’s two months away and we haven’t seen anything. I guess they want people to try the demo.
there will be a demo next month
I thought it was real-time but with pause, kind of like the battles in 13 Sentinels? Like, it'll automatically jump to whoever's turn it is and stop time while you make your choice for what they do next. If not and it's actually fully real-time... ugh, then I'm kind of out. Not a fan of that.yes, and I think that some in-depth look article could go up between end July/early August (before demo release)
they sent out some PR juicy info
the main/core gameplay element is that it is not turn-based
it is a real time stretegic game
this set the game apart from Triangle Strategy, Mrio + rabbids, Fire Emeblem and so on..
No demo on Switch yet?
Impressions are better than expected, I just want to see if it runs well on Switch.
Any handheld impressions?
us switch is upIs the demo available out here too or is it JP only?
The game looks super pretty, but the switch between character portraits and the 3d models is pretty jarring.
I tried the demo, and I do think it shows promise, but its just not a game for me.
RTS is not my thing I guess, I just keep forgetting to make a move LOL. Also the walk speed couldve been a bit higher during battles.
(you can speed the movement up, but it'd be a hassle to keep switching it everytime you arrive somewhere imo)
I am interested to see how this game will do!
Yeah it is (sadly), I'd have definitely been more interested in it if it was turn based but alas.I haven’t checked in. Is it real time? Would tank my interest in even trying it :|

That's why I was atleast glad theres a demo to see if it could change my mind but, no. XD
Switch and mobile have done wonders for Square's mid-tier and budget development teams. They're pretty much the company's breadwinners while everyone waits 3-5 years between FF, DQ, KH, and Nier installments.Really though, I’m impressed by how much Square Enix has seemingly wrapped their heads around the Switch over the years. The game looks nice and is mostly smooth, it feels like it probably targeted Switch first and just got a resolution and frame bump for other systems. I’ll probably end up grabbing it when it comes out if it reviews well enough.
I still need to play the demo, at first I was interested, then the RTS put me off, but now if it's got pauses like something like 13 Sentinels, I might be back inFinally got around to give the demo a go! I'm pretty pleased with what I've played overall. Guess this'll be a day 1 purchase for me.
I do wonder about how stressful things might become with more units, higher difficulty, more complex mission design as the game goes on, etc. Depending on how these things turn out/develop (or not), obviously.I still need to play the demo, at first I was interested, then the RTS put me off, but now if it's got pauses like something like 13 Sentinels, I might be back in
I legit was just wondering when the release date was, thinking it was maybe tomorrow? And then apparently it’s already out??? I’ve heard basically no buzz or fanfare of any kind, it’s weird.You just know that Square Enix have done one hell of a job marketing this game when DioField releases and you see basically no one talk about it; it's also not charting in the eShop top 30 (Germany). And I've seen reactions already that were like "wait, this is coming out already???"
I fear for its commercial performance already, ngl. This sucks.
That’s Square Enix’ marketing department for anything that isn’t AAA. One of the worst publishers when it comes to this.You just know that Square Enix have done one hell of a job marketing this game when DioField releases and you see basically no one talk about it; it's also not charting in the eShop top 30 (Germany).

Way to make me even sadder, folks :'(Erm... put me in the same camp for not realising the game is already out
RIP Octopath II, then, I guess.That’s Square Enix’ marketing department for anything that isn’t AAA. One of the worst publishers when it comes to this.
Square Enix is pretty dang bad at advertising for AA titles honestly. Reminds me of Neo TWEWY last yearYou just know that Square Enix have done one hell of a job marketing this game when DioField releases and you see basically no one talk about it; it's also not charting in the eShop top 30 (Germany). And I've seen reactions already that were like "wait, this is coming out already???"

Makes me fear for SEs non-FF/KH titles; fortunately Team Asano has built up a fanbase for their HD-2D games on the Switch so OTII should do fine and Nintendo is helping with the marketing for Harvestella and Dragon Quest Treasures. The one I'm most concerned for is Tactics Ogre Reborn, hopefully the SRPG resurgence on the Switch will help it see some success.That’s Square Enix’ marketing department for anything that isn’t AAA.

Playing on Switch?Hello? This game is incredible. Sleeper hit of the year for me. Goddamn.
