Cardfight Online - new way to play CFV online

[skunkwitch]

I just saw the promotional video Bushi released for their new client that allows you to play CFV online.
Please tell me I'm not the only one upset at this since CFA is awesome and we don't need any other one?
I felt like there should be a thread here where we can talk about this.
By the way, here's the promotional video Bushi release about an hour ago if you didn't see it already:

Personally I'm looking forward for this, also for anyone actually interested in this they had a Q&A on their twitter where they gave us some pretty cool info, rather than just type it all out here are the replies:

hmm you know is not a CFV Simulator made by bushiroad so i think thats where the Problem lies. After all CFA was made and is owned by People bushiroad didn't sell any Copyrights to (i think?). and well i suppose this Simulator might be the countermeasure they made for CFA and other CFV Simulators.

Well one thing CFO has going for it is being fully automatic so you don't have to do math or argue over how skills work and also no cheating, it also won't take an entire millenium to update.

Although at the start we'll only have G-era cards and only English cards, but we'll also be getting other formats like Extreme Fight and maybe tags since they said they'd look into it. There's also ranked play and tournaments.

If it was a countermeasure to other simulators, it'd be up-to-date with the Japanese card pool. CFO is only going to be English's card pool. (I'm using "countermeasure" in the sense of winning people over.)

While I'm excited for an automated simulator, I'm really just beyond the point of caring since CFA's going to be superior solely for the fact that it'll always have more of the upcoming cards. Tags being added may win me over, but ranked play is just going to be a pain in the ass when it happens for the same reason why we didn't make it on cfa.

Then again, they could just not add a chat option and then ranked play won't have any worry of elitism except on some forums or something.

That's exactly what I'm worried about! That the "social" aspect of the CFV simulators online will go away, for that is what I love about CFA. Even though it is VERY slot to update, and people can be huge idiots some times, it is FREE and allows me to play without without pay!

[Lucius]

hmm when you think about it CFA isn't really that slow in updating after all if i understood right CFO will only update every time a new Set Comes out in english, and we know that can take months sometimes in English Format. whats more, it is the English Format so they won't the japanese rules.

I'm pretty skeptical about the game. I dunno if it be the CFO game we all want it to be. Look how the Yu-gi-oh one ended up. Lasting no more then a year.

Anyway Confirmed Stuff (But can still change):
-PC
-Will Require Download
-Free to Play (with in game transactions)
-Cards Follow English Releases and are in English
-Online Tournaments
-Only Vanguard G cards Avaliable on release
-Older cards added later
-Quest like system (not explained)

In Consideration:
Clan Fight
Extreme Format
Tag Fight

Well i'm really looking forward to it. I don't think this game will be a "threat" to area since area is sandbox and that game won't be. And let's be real, even tho it's free to play it will obviously be super hard for free players to get a lot of decks. I expect that even the ones who will play that game mainly will still play area for deck testing and general for fun playing.

I think everyone should calm their proverbial tits and wait till we get ALL the info. For all we know, their payment model is going to be something straight outta candy crush. :/ Look before ya leap folks!

Consider CFO as the prelude to what will be Cardfight Vanguard getting a dueling network style browser game.

I kinda want to agree with you since it still may feel that way but based on the already confirmed info it probably won't.

Also in other news while it's coming in late. CFO is confirmed for Steam Greenlight.

I'm actually looking forward to an official game client for Cardfight. It pretty much looks like the Tag Force of Vanguard, which isn't bad at all. All that's left is for them to actually announce the prices for their micro-transactions which will determining the fate of the game, seeing as it's F2P. I'm actually keeping my hopes up in that department and hoping they keep the prices really low. Basically a system where you choose a trial deck to begin with and then pay in-game currency or real money (your choice) for boosters wouldn't be bad. Eventually they could charge for trial decks from past Vanguard series if they expand the database.

The prices were the main reason why none of the old Yu-Gi-Oh online games lasted, but then again that was Konami being stupid. The first Yu-Gi-Oh Online had a horrible system of paying an amount of money for DP that you would use in just one day or a week tops, depending on how often you played (1 DP = 1 duel). It resulted in the subscription, because it basically turned into one, being way too much back when most players there didn't even have a credit card. Then we had that browser based Yu-Gi-Oh which also had a faulty system. Besides that they went for energy based gameplay, limiting the players' time, their prices for boosters and decks were ridiculous. You basically couldn't build a regular deck without spending actual money and were better off just playing with the free partner ones .. and that was what most people did. It also had lots of bad GUI design ideas. Again Konami didn't think things through. But ultimately they did release the latest YGO for PS4 and XOne that's actually good for what it is and pretty much Tag Force, but without the need to navigate the map to advance in the campaign. Legacy of the Duelist also has all cards available and they're only going to be putting DLC for any new addition due to Arc-V. All in all I'm saying they might have learned from Konami's mistakes and current choices with their TCG to Online trials.

Update: Bushi has confirmed extreme fight at the beginning. G regulation was kinda obvious.

Yeah, I'll probably stick to G-Regulation. I'm not much of a fan of Clan mixing as I'm into the core idea of Vanguard and the fight between various clans.

They have also confirmed that the game will be seeing the Clan Fight regulation once the older sets come into play. https://twitter.com/CardfightOnline/status/638295163266138112
