So…. Investors who don’t *actually* play the game are mad because they can’t flip boxes/cards straight out of the gate for hundreds of dollars of profit? They’re mad because they can no longer abuse it? This is the world we live in. People are angry because they can no longer abuse something. As an outsider to FaB, all of this sounds like positive change for the game to me. White border cards in history reprint packs that don’t look as good, but give you cheap access to the cards you need? I wish Dragon Ball Super and Yugioh did that… The multiplayer thing sounds awesome.
@kwokziyi4937 2 жыл бұрын
Yugioh (TCG) does do that through their annual tin boxes (not the rarity drop but the increase in supply deflates prices) and eventual common reprints in structure decks. The OCG handles it way better because the demographic is different and as a general rule, Japanese companies keep the best stuff for themselves. :P

if they can pull off the PvE thing, that could really open the door for a lot of cool shit. bringing on traditional paper RPG players, and bringing traditional TCG players into that realm, and potentially even further, as well as offering multiple experiences for the new player, seems like an all around win, even if it means nuking the first edition for better longevity and an eventual separation of tiers once the full gameplay meta is established. people just want 10-year-plan results out of 3 years way too often.

It's great how one of Rudy's biggest complaints is how new Magic players do not have equity in their collections because they keep getting reprinted and crashing the value. But James's answer of reprinting but making it look WORSE will ensure the players who buy early will have truly rare and sought after cards. It's a really interesting concept. I think FaB will roar back to life with their next product cycle of 3. It's a great time to buy cold foils and sealed first ed for any long-term believer.
@justinball9293 2 жыл бұрын
It’s a bullshit concept. Magic did it with white border core sets. Some of those core set cards are worth more than the original printing. If this is as tightly printed as they’re claiming, they could be more rare than rainbow foil staples, AND being the only printing in this style…..”ugly” or not that screams collectibility of the product. Odds are it will not have the intended consequences since EVERY store can order it. OR, it will not be a tight print run and we really will have chronicles 2.0

This will tell the tcg world if a purely based players game can support a tcg on their own. The emphasis will be on the players to buy enough to keep the company afloat. This means lgs and the secondary market must see enough sales that allow them to buy and keep product stocked. As of now, there is no known metric to tell if so. So lets see if the players can keep the game afloat on their own. Im neither a player or investor btw.

I am not a FAB player or investor. But to hear a company say they want to move away from investors and aim to put cards in the players hand.. truth be told, I support that. They unfortunately started with evil investors for their start-up (no offense Rudy, I myself am no Saint here either) so this led people to believe that FAB was more for investing then playing.. which is a very ugly thing. Now that I've heard James' side of the story, I want to buy product now and actually try it with friends.. cause I know nothing about the actual card game.

FAB said they wanted to put more cards in the hands of players- but what they have done in getting rid of 1 edition doesn’t make sense as a step to achieve larger production. The brilliance of Flesh and Blood’s 1st edition and unlimited edition was that both collectors and people who only wanted to play the game had releases specifically catered to themselves. Essentially they have abandon collectors to lump the the equivalent of mtg’s collector boosters into being just regular boosters-
@Koehler99 2 жыл бұрын
This 100%. There wouldn't need to be a total freakout about the game and its survivability going forward if you believed in its gameplay and how fun it'd be to engage with. It needs to be a game that's involved and has an active playerbase to be successful, otherwise it dies off when something like this happens. You're essentially saying you don't believe in the game if you're not trusting its survivability going forward. I'm not a FAB player or investor myself, either.
@krevin543 2 жыл бұрын
@@justinlau1337 yes and you shouldn’t have to spend thousands. I’m not sure what relation what you are saying has to my point however. My point is you don’t need to destroy first edition to increase unlimited’s print run and get everyone the cards they want, while still giving collectors their own product. This is actually going to have the opposite effect- it will be harder to get cards and especially singles now that the value for the cards has plummeted and LGS’s are dropping FAB because their profit margins on the boosters has been burned away. FAB had an excellent system- why they are tearing it down for no apparent reason baffles me. Just print more unlimited and keep first edition.

I feel like the people we lose on this ride are not worthy to carry this game. I came from Keyforge and a company that did nothing to make it work and despite a loyal player base they did nothing with it. Here we have a company that continues to evolve and try to do the right thing for the player, and still care about the chase and collectors if they aren't looking to just flip cards on the spots. I believe that Mr. White is doing everything he can to make his game the best version he can. Part of that is a learning curve, and the other is vision. Both change over time, and I believe in the game. I love it and I hope that things pan out too. Hope to see everyone in NJ for the PT. I will be in the Calling and bringing some spice.

Really great video. This was needed on the news of fab 2.0 My fear with PvE is that there are already a lot of dungeon crawl type board games. I know TCG players don't often play board games. But it will be hard to merge a TCG into a board game type of game. If it's done correctly, it could be game changing. But it's so easy to over complicate it or make it too simple. Finding that sweet spot will be really difficult. But I really hope they get there

Honestly I'm feeling very positive woth FAB. They are doing what I thought they would do and then some to address issues. I've seen a ton of positivity and some negativity, but the negativity comes from people who just do quick flips. They don't even know how to play the game. New faces will enter and will care more for the game. Stay the course.

I mean, this is exactly how I feel about how Monarch was distributed. It was BULLSHIT. It was so damn hard to get the 1st edition and most scrambled to get whatever was available. With this world wide release I was ready and wanted to make positions in 1st Ed so I bought from wherever I could. When the distribution failed to actually sell the product it betrayed LSS, James , LGS, content creators, investors, collectors and the FUCKING players. No one walked away happy and that’s a shame because I love Monarch as it is an amazing set. So some ASSHAT that runs a few warehouses with forklifts, shelving and maybe a water cooler got to eat their steak dinner after duping the FAB community and guess what? Party’s over. Go get em James and Rudy, keep up the good work!

I still love the game and will continue to play the heck out of it. The only thing that this 2.0 changes for me is I'll probably open less product. I buy a lot of boxes/cases of first edition. Idk how much I'll open going forward... Will have to see I guess. Very likely will just buy singles I want.

Hello. It was a very interesting video, thx for your feedback! For the History pack you didn't speak about something! New Languages! When I first heard that the game would be released in french (my language) italian, spanish and german, I was wondering how he was going to give all these cards and sets in all languages. For me it was impossible (financially) to re release everything in each language. I think History packs are a way to bring new player to game and give them the the key cards and more. In two History pack those new players can be ready for the future and not frustrated because they have six sets with only english cards. (if they want to start to build a deck with the new Uprising extension). And of course that LLS are gonna release the black label version for these languages with black border + an extra surprise makes me say that James White dont want to give to all this new players around the world a less appealing product. thy again for your long conversation and sorry for my english .

Hot take, the first priority for a card game should never be investors. Having a game that’s 3 yrs old and having boxes of product that’s several thousand dollars is just exclusionary to new players. If a card game dies bc no one plays the prices plummet anyhow.

Fantastic video, very informative, but I just wanted to let you know that the PvE card-based dungeon delving experience you described *has* been done before, several years ago, and it's called Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. Look it up, it's fun. I used to play it with my friends. The only major difference is that it's all sold in preconstructed sets/boxes for each adventure, rather than randomized booster packs.

I don't really have a dog in the race (only a couple of unlimited Arcane Rising and Monarch boxes that I'm still waiting to play with friends at some point), but I must say I can get behind the approach of the company in prioritzing accessibility to the game pieces while not damaging those who bought the first printing(s) of the product. The idea of making reprints look worse while functionally identical I find an interesting way to tackle the issue. And the PVE is a cool idea and a bet to further differentiate the game in the TGC market.
