Join us at the Cardfight!! Online Twitter Q&A with the team behind it on November 19 (USA) / November 20 (EU/Asia). Tweet us your questions during this period and our team will attempt to answer as many as we can.
Twitter Q&A:
[November 19, 2015] 6.00pm – 6.30pm Pacific Standard Time
[November 20, 2015] 11.00am – 11.30am Japan Standard Time

That is 9:00pm - 9:30pm Eastern Standard Time Later Today. So if you have question about the game you guys should really push to ask them now.

From the images we can see and info given, the game has been pushed to early 2016 and Clan fight is basically confirmed now in the game. Outside of that still a bit skeptical about the game as a whole. Yes it looks amazing but I still dunno if it be as amazing as people want it to be.

There's some questions that I'd like to ask, but knowing how these things usually go, they can flat out ignore them, but still I think it'd be nice for everyone to gather some questions regardless so we can see if they will be answered.

1) Will we have the ability to purchase/craft singles? If so, will purchasing/crafting these cost us 'Real' Money?
2) What things exactly can be bought with 'real' money and 'in game' money (sleeves, playmats, etc)? And why can't both forms of currency be used for most things if not everything?
3) Typically how many 'points' do you earn when you win? When you lose? Does time factor into these? What does factor into that?
4) What do new players get to choose from in order to start playing? Like do they get to pick an existing trial deck? If so, which ones?
5) Will there be trading allowed?
6) Could you explain how crafting works? Is it something akin to existing game 'Hearthstone'?
7) Could you explain what daily quests and/or Campaigns are about?
8 ) What if someone disconnects during a match? What happens then? Also will the person who did not disconnect still get points?

The animation looks really good in the screenshots provided. I have seen around that In-Game Purchases are available, but not needed in order to play the game. Just like Sandy asked, my major questions are on the In-Game Purchases.

Its also looks as if you will have to buy your packs to increase your deck. Being related to GSE2 and the Video Games on Cardfight Vanguard, I think I will enjoy that certain format. But if we must purchase packs or cards with real money, I won't be too fond of that.

When it comes down to it, I will still use CFA due to the fact you have free access to all the released cards and you don't have to fight to make your deck better.

[Mistral]

Looks very beautiful! I would like to at least try that one gladly, if not else then because of beautiful user interface, easier system than cfa and because tutorials -> want to test if I can recommend it as a gateway to CFV.

I think gold may be gotten by winning matches and doing quests just from screenshots, so I don't actually complain: 100 % of cards collectible free-to-play would be ideal. If I think purchasing cards in Online as professional of marketing, Bushiroad could consider the same marketing trick as used for newer Pokémon TCG sets and Pokémon TCG Online: Giving out one booster free in online if you buy one booster in real life. More younger players would be excited because they can "earn" some extra boosters, when you get new cards also irl. However, if Bushi takes that route, they have to raise booster packs price a little, because they have to pay expenses of developing Online and server costs.On the downsize on that is however also non-Online players have to pay for that. Therefore I think they use more traditional way, like MTGO and Hearthstone uses.

And I still think I'll use CFA even if I start playing that, just because it's 100 % free, no need to unlocks and easiness for testing new deck ideas,

CFO will be more preferable to play on just because I'd want to work and challenge myself building up decks with limited resources.

It would be beneficial in being able to improve further on as a player as you would be starting from scratch.

Just remember not to count your chickens before they hatch. The game might turn out to be nothing more than a cash grab, just wait before jumping ship.

Just remember not to count your chickens before they hatch. The game might turn out to be nothing more than a cash grab, just wait before jumping ship.

Well I don't exactly label Bushiroad as a cash grabbing company.

I mean they provide free worldwide championship events everywhere every year.

[Magus TSS]

So a review for everyone who missed yesterdays events in no real order:
- You get a Trial Deck after the in-game Tutorial. (not specified which)
- They are planing CFO codes in physical products including the soon-to-be released Cardfight!! Vanguard fanbook. Those codes are unique and can only be used once.
- Crafting can get you missing cards you need. (not specified how it works)
- Packs are not exclusive to people who pay with real cash.
- Daily Quests
- There will Be varies tournament modes.
- There will be Ranked Ladders that they initially plan to be reset monthly but could change based on users responses.
- You can buy sleeves (wasn't specified which buy)
- No Trading System

Well it wasn't the best it could have been however they got overwhelmed by the responses that they will do another one next week "Thursday at 11am (Japan time)!"

Also Not revealed at the event was this: http://bushiroad.com/en/events/bsf2016/
http://cardfight.wikia.com/wiki/Steam_Fighter,_Galm

Now here's what I think of the responses. Knowing there will be no trading it's a godsend to me. People can't abuse now, try to steal other peoples cards or annoy you about trading Ranked and tournaments will be awesome once everyone gets real decks going. I'm Hoping we can craft promo cards and Quest sounds like they can be very fun. Also we can "assume" (not saying it will be) the Coin is the in-game currency and the CP is the other currency. I'm still a bit skeptical about the game but I am pretty hyped for it as well. So what did everyone else think?

Well, Not being able to trade is a blessed virtue because then people cannot do things such as alternate accounts and trade cards over and also stops spam for trades. It forces people to work if they wish to build the deck they want. As for the ranked ladders, although it is a good idea in concept (TCO has something along the lines of a ladder that works off points that resets every month, just an example)  it can be flawed with exploited boosting possibly. Tournament modes have my hype personally and the crafting also.

One thing that bugs me is that you will not be able to take back mistakes since its an automatic system, unlike TCO or CFA (And before you say it, yes CFA has some automatic components like grade 3 searcher's and such.) So people will have to pay attention with this.

[Helios]

Like everyone else has brought up, I am so happy for not implementing a trade system. Good job on there part. All my most wanted questions were answered in the Q&A, but some left blank. Like more details about obtaining sleeves or special mats. Though they are not a necessity to the game, so I was still very satisfied with the content revealed yesterday.

Like Magus said, the people there asking questions was a lot. That makes happy because us showing up there were support for Bushiroad's new platform of gaming and there were still more who were unable to attend. This will get us the opportunity to meet more people because by the online server and it being on steam really broadens the numbers who will be able to access the game and play it. Furthermore it will attract players who are new to the game and have never tried TCO or CFA.

All in all, I am very hyped to see what will become of this project.

Just few more steps and it will release on~

[LocketteSprite]

I must say, their game is looking more and more to what I always expected from an online TCG. I'm happy they are implementing features to keep us connected to the series and give us purpose like the questing system and I'm over hyped for the tournament system as well. Curious what their in-game store will hold, but I think it's safe to say that the fact you can acquire cards through in-game currency is what was most on our minds and they delivered so far. Let's hope prices aren't exaggerated.

The fact it doesn't have a trading system has its ups and downs. I understand that it will stop players from alternating between accounts of some form, but at the same time if you really wanted to trade with a friend that's playing the game it will be impossible. Still I can't wait for the beta in 2016. I was skeptical with them pushing the date, but now I see it will be worth the wait.

For those who missed last weeks FAQ can view it here: http://cardfight-online.com/?p=610

Recap of todays info and some past updated info:
-Reconfirmation they are really using steam. (Good I'm happy for that push)
-The trial deck you get after completing the tutorial (from my understanding of the sentence on the site) is fixed.
-When you get a trial deck you will get the exact amount of cards the trial deck had in real life but no trial promos.
-No Offline Feature
-There will be a search feature to find your friends.
-Windowed Mode and Full screen.
-Not Every card will be craft able. ( )
-No Gifting (due to it having "relation to trading")
-A random suggestion was considered. (It was a good suggestion but not worth posting atm)
-They are considering making trial decks for all clans that don't have trial decks.
-CP has relation to crafting
-Only in game avatars will be usable.
-Only Ride and Stride animations?

After the Q&A ended
-Sleeves "may" be won via in game events. More details to come.

And they will do another one next week. Same day Same Time.

Have to say the Q&A was a little better then last weeks and I'm even more hyped for more news though knowing not every card will be craft able makes me a bit sad I wonder which cards won't be craft able. Hopefully just commons and some promos. Now we got to find out if there will be a spectate mode.

Edit: Also knowing every other clan could get a trial deck is great news. Can't believe I almost forgot that one.

[Dracokid]

i personally  hope they make a trial for each clan casue i would hate to have to use a clan i don't like where as getting basic cards for my own clan and building from there

[~Lati~]

They certainly are making a good impression about the entire game. No wonder why there were steps taken back.

However I just hope they will start to at least let some clans have some extra content from the original format due to clans that haven't had support this current season will need a new trigger set up and without that they are practically unplayable. So the trial decks will warrant some merit of use.

Plus it gives people a good idea of how Bushi really wanted to view the optimal format but I feel Gear Chronicle will generate the most playing advantage since the support they have optimises against a lot of other clans who are forced to use units that don't really suit the deck plays. But the better skill in deck building and as a cardfighter. I'm looking forward to this and improve my building skills on a whim.

Surely you don't get EVERY trial deck? It would be more sense in getting the one trial and work from there on while needing to unlock other trials to use them.
