13 Sentinels Prologue |OT| Full Game coming Fall 2019
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date
Gorgeous artwork but the idea of paying for a demo that doesn't even carry over save data isn't super appealing.
To answer the question, no I'm not.
I'm excited for the game, but this literally a paid demo. Like at least Ground Zeroes could be considered a stand alone title. This is just the first 3 hours of a game with some of the most non existent marketing I've seen in quite some time.
I am looking forward to seeing lengthy footage of the "gameplay", whatever it actually is at this point.

Not at the moment, but Sega has simul-localization for Chinese and Korean it seems: https://store.playstation.com/en-sg/product/HP0177-CUSA14326_00-ASIAFULLGAME0000
Should be noted that the full game was announced for localization a long time ago though, so there's that coming up at least (I mean, assuming there is a full game).
I want to be excited for this, but all the circumstances around the prologue just don't seem worth it. If nothing more comes out regarding 13 sentinels if it sells poorly, then so be it.
Excited for the full game but not so much for this demo. Feel that by doing so, it could harm the game when it actually release as many people would confuse and think that the game is already out.
They probably could go with episode like life is strange did which maybe better for the development. (although it's never a good sign when it took this long to make consider its genre)

To people in 10 years, this game is being ignored at the moment because nobody knows what the fuck it's about
I've got my physical edition on order. I've never been let down by a Vanillaware title so I am going to keep the faith.
I'll be excited when they tell us in detail what the game actually is and what the gameplay is like. All the lineart they've made for it is pretty and what look like cutscenes are beautifully animated and detailed, but keeping the majority of the whole thing under wraps aside from 5-10 second flashes of what looks like fairly generic, menu-driven, isometric SRPG screens is significantly hurting them.
Thing is, the clips they've shown are what the game seemingly is. You walk around as each character, interacting with the environment and talking to people. Those screens in the mech are basically cutscenes. It's a "visual adventure" game with a ton of art.
So the actual gameplay's been pretty established. What I'm more curious about now is essentially the pacing.
Check my post that I added a link to. There's more there that we've seen very little of.
My, I even voted for it on the "what game are you looking forward the most" poll - that we have in the Vita OT. Alas.
But it's Vanillaware so at the very least I want to see what it is.

That's what I mean. There are two that stand out: those cityscape sequences, and the sequences where the kids get into their sentinels. What I presume, for the former, is that it's basically like the rest of the game: you select a background element to interact with, if it isn't just a straight cutscene.
There is no battle system.
Edit: Or at least, I bet Prologue won't have any. It sounds like the initial plan was for there to be adventure portions + strategy battle segments, and it could very well be the latter that's been giving them a whole lot of development trouble.

For posterity's sake, the publishers did this game dirty, future game historians. You can quote me on that.
It's hard to be excited about a game you know nothing about. I look forward to seeing at least that. Wouldn't mind what you said though.
I know it's not going to happen, but I keep hoping there's some secret game play elements they haven't revealed yet.
That's exactly my point - you're guessing. No one knows for sure, all we have to go on are those scant few seconds of that screen plus the many more traditionally-Vanillaware side-on sequences that appear to be just cutscenes. FWIW, I think you're wrong and the isometric screens are going to be the 'main' bulk of the gameplay, but I'm going off the same info you are and the fact we don't have any definitive info about it is exactly the problem.
My blind faith for Vanillaware makes me want to plop down the money but given its not even localized I find it very hard to do so.
I really, really hope George, Basiscape, and the VW team are okay over there.

I'm definitely interested.
But finding the password to my japanese PSN account is always quite the hassle, lol. I only ever use it like once every three years. So I'll probably just read the impressions.

Sure, but don't you think they definitely would have talked about this before Prologue is released in a few days if it was a thing? It's hard to talk about the actual full game since we don't even know when that's going to be coming out or how far off it is, but for Prologue, I think the strategy elements you're referring to definitely wouldn't be in.
I'm defenitely curious to see what this is, but I've never heard of it. From what you guys are describing, this prologue doesn't sound like something I'd ever spend money on.
I hope this doesn't cancel the full game if it doesn't sell because that would suck a lot for both the developers (obviously) and people like me who have been waiting for so long.
Following Dragons Crown with something smaller scale, lower budget and apparently light on gameplay and skewing more towards visual novel is a disappointment
But thats just the assumption i have at the moment about the game. I still have barely an idea of what this actually is and how deep the gameplay goes beyond the story stuff

I dig vanillaware work, but since I have no damn clue what is the game supposed to be about, I can't be excited. But I do look forward to seeing more.
Yeah, I'd expect that they would've talked about any strat or combat elements if they were in the Prologue, but they don't seem to have given details about anything in the Prologue other than a vague length and that the save data won't be compatible with the final game, which is why I'm questioning exactly what's in it. (Unless they have in a Japanese site or mag that's been missed by the English internet.) They seem to be being as cagey about this Prologue as they are the full game, and they haven't shown any elements of what made the gameplay of their previous games resonate with so many people - all I'm saying is that's why people aren't excited about it.
