Daisuke Ishiwatari : " GG -Strive- is a seperate game from Xrd, I'm not sure we are finished with Rev2, we may add more characters in the future"

...... I did not see this coming. Maybe the backlash was too much for their confidence in Strive?
They're just covering their asses in case the Guilty Gear community decides to keep playing Xrd. I'm sure they would rather cut off Xrd support and move on to Strive.

Yup. As if the Arc Systemworks style of oversaturating their own market wasn't clear enough :D toss in a few new Blazblue iterations as well while at it

Yeah I know not the same scenario
This is kinda weird to be honest, don't know if the team would be on their 100% working on both titles.
Didn't know that.
So, is it known who's exactly working on Strive?
Absolutely come 2 months after strive releases it'll be "What? Xrd? Who the fuck is that?"
Remember when Street Fighter X Tekken was suppose to replace SFIV?
Not 100% sure just remember hearing about him bringing it up in an interview recently
What fuck is up with Guilty Gear devs not wanting to make proper fighting games
This is exactly what is going to happen. This is HDR all over again, and I called it as soon as the game came out.
I understand why Arcsys is going the direction they are going- the path they are on now, they're not going to get new players much- give new players a choice, they're going to take the easier franchise to learn. The older players aren't going to go along for that ride though, and they're willing to reject games they don't like entirely- they like GG because their legacy knowledge is worth as much as it is.
The only thing I've seen universally praised in this has been graphics and character design.
I'll get back to you when the new BlazBlue finally gets announced in 20 years
This satire (is it ?) never gets old :
This is what kills me. They focus so hard on making shit as accessible as possible, they want to reach the widest possible community but don't care about online. This shit is so contradictory.
It's accurate to the point where it like annoys me, so good on the writer
This is bizarre. I feel for them, but they brought this on themselves. A franchise like Guilty Gear has no place pulling fan-alienating moves to chase new audiences. Not even Street Fighter can do that.
Daisuke Ishiwatari giving Shimbori some competition for worst interviews.
Straight up gutting mechanics because allowing players more options/combo paths is bad.
No one should even think about being hopeful for more Xrd. Game is done. If they had any desire to not bury it they wouldn't have thrown it out of the Arc Revo tour alongside CF.
It really sucks. One more big update for Xrd or a follow up game to Xrd build on the foundation of Xrd was all that was needed. The story is pretty much done all that is really left is dealing with the Universal Will, the inevitable Sol vs Asuka R. Kreutz showdown and what I-No does with the knowledge of her origin. After that they would have had an easier time rebooting GG however they want as old GG was alteast allowed to go out with a bang with a great game to finish its story.
A new GG that isn't being dumbed down would have also still had the visibility boost Arc Sys has gotten recently and likely sold more just based on that alone.

You guys know Strive is not coming out for a year right? He's talking about the possibility of adding someone to Xrd over the course of that long year wait for Strive. News flash: Once Strive is out, they are done with Xrd. (News flash No. 2: I think they're already done).
For a niche game with a small but dedicated audience, shunning what's basically could be your safety net audience like that for imaginary "casual players that pick games based on their mechanics" is ridiculously out of touch with what both casuals and dedicated fans want from your game. Add to this their complete disconnect with rollback netcode demands...
Everything in Xrd could have been simplified, even more so than what Strive is doing, without completely dropping mechanics the series had from day 1.

I mean, look at XX. There was GG2 (the moba style thing) and other GG games that came out and they went back to XX with AC and AC+R. They could still have Strive be 4 and go back and do a Rev 3+R#ReLoaded -final- or something.
Personally I think they are done with Xrd until there is a need for a next gen port where they might add a character or 2 like how XX got AC and all that.
