I knew you would be here :p

A localization hasn't been announced, but it would be very weird for Aniplex to not already be planning one. Given the scale of their global operations--and the interests of their owner, Sony--it would be difficult for them to not succeed with one.

Yeah it's more like Duel Masters

I mean imo digimon is just duel masters with extra steps

@@miracult i miss duel masters :-(

Yeah Life cards seems like dcg security at first

like most japanese card games i dont think they are aiming for deckbuilding depth/variety.

that is a great description of it

With how expensive mtg is getting if this comes to English this could be a cheaper way to play mtg (Then again I have a doubt this will come to English)

@@UnoDosTres-qn4lm force of will?

I've also noticed a few things that were in the digimon tcg but I'm not the most versed in tcg games and idk if they came up with the stuff or not. But I'm talking about the health gimmick and the cards used as health have effects, it was in the original version from the early 2000s, it's a fun gimmick, I'm interested in how this tcg will play it, hopefully it doesn't have a rough launch in the west like the digimon tcg reboot did.

the triggers are also similar to Vanguard but that's understandable since it's from same creator

yeah I only managed to catch 70% of what he said in the anime.

Basically, when a card from your Life Zone is discarded it's turned face-up, and if it's a Buster then the next card in your Life also gets discarded.

@@lost-worlds Oh and some cards have strong effects when you are in the red life. Sounds interesting.

Yeah, it reminds me a bit of how Caster Chronicles and Force of Will both tried to be "MTG without the things you don't like about MTG"...at the time they performed pretty poorly overseas, but I think it was hard to sell Magic players on them. Build has a broader aesthetic appeal, and is coming at a time when enfranchised Magic players seem pretty upset at the game. (Well, this may be the understatement of the century.) So its position seems ripe for pulling those dissatisfied players away.

@@lost-worlds MTG is bizarre man. Obviously I can't speak for all MTG players (because that'd be a completely inane thing to try to do), but in my corner of the planet they're very opposed to considering another card game being allowed to share a locals with their game, let alone try one out, and that's *in-spite* of current events. I imagine people are a lot more sane in better parts of the world, though.

@@lost-worlds Build Divide itself I think has a good chance to rumble in the west, but it would make the already over-saturated niche card game market even more over-saturated (CFV Vs. Digimon Vs. DB Super (I still have no idea how big the competitive community for this is Vs. people just buying DBZ Merch) Vs. Wixoss (lol) Vs. A possible Build Divide). The over-saturation situation is a big problem too, since COVID still seems to be flaring up enough that large-scale tournaments in Europe/USA aren't feasible yet, which is bad for keeping a competitive community going.

choice is not really an important word in games like this, not in the deckbuilding sense. they go more to a expression and feeling side of things.

I'm interested in this just because it's alot like Duel Masters

@@AkmalGameAtion same here I miss that game

Duel masters is magic the anime

No word on it yet.

@@nmr7203 what games?

Agreed, let me stop everything you do and then kill with one fatty that I can protect.

Aniplex has the potential to, hopefully

It was good enough out the gate but the potential was squandered by the target audience, and at this point it's too late. Aniplex wasn't aiming high enough with Build: they sunk a lot into winning over the Z/X and Wixoss demographic, and they bet on the wrong horse--that audience is too small--while also losing that demo to other devs. The players they wanted in Japan weren't interested, and waited for Broccoli to announce Vividz instead. The game fell off hard after set 3, and there's much bigger competition out there today from titles like Shadowverse Evolve. In response, they tried to play up the collabs and pivot Build into a crossover-heavy TCG, but it's also too late for that. Every TCG has collabs now, Bandai's even coming in with Union Arena for that, and so Aniplex is stuck with a white elephant that costs too much to maintain but also costs even more to kill. At this point I don't see a localization happening because they're just trying to mitigate the damage back home in Japan, and internationally they have to worry about a strong Bandai crowding the market with Digimon, One Piece, and now Battle Spirits Saga (which Bandai's sinking a ton of money into promoting like they've never done before) plus the Cygames-Bushiroad alliance on Shadowverse Evolve, competing against Flesh & Blood and Metazoo, and Disney coming in next year with Lorcana...before Build can think about tangling with those names it has to first overcome the smaller games, and right now between EN Wixoss, Final Fantasy TCG, Dragon Ball Super, Force of Will, and Gate Ruler, there's a lot of established factions in play that want to maintain their grip on each shop's event schedule. Frankly, 2023's a terrible time to release anything and 2024 might be too. The market is too congested to support much more--shops can't fit all the games out there onto their calendars, and so they're forced to choose what events to run each week. Trying to get Build Divide going at a locals at this point would be repeating a lot of the ongoing pains with Gate Ruler or Vanguard. Anyone wanting to break into the EN market today is better off waiting to see how the Battle Spirits-Shadowverse-Lorcana war plays out, so they can be in a better position to launch after the bubble's popped and the market's consolidated down to a smaller number of games. Players are more willing to support new titles when they don't have many choices, and right now they have a dozen or so different options.

Thanks for the response, yeah i was looking into it alot last night, ive explored yugioh and vanguard over the years, but really took intrest in this becauae of the mana resting as I never got into duel masters. Its just sad that the reality is it wont target the west. Yes I read the One Piece card game impacted the game alot also. Ive also been hearing about this "Build Divide Bright", whats your thoughts on this? :)

I found a long comment by user Ajm8185 on this video, he seemed pretty intrested and hopeful for the future if your intrested . This guy in the comments seems to be doing research. Hopefully its more than a estimated hunch haha m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hs-gbLdqxt7Wmps.html

Aniplex hasn't said anything about an English localization, but they struck a deal with Crunchyroll for a simulcast and got the game into KZfaq Gaming's English database way before even the Japanese release, which suggests they want the brand to go global.

@@lost-worlds thanks yo! Also the overalls are a good look on you man!

Kiling non-"seven deadly sins" units could be an upside if you have the right set up.

The skill seems to be similar to vanguard in terms of offence. Specifically limit break era, where it's about knowing when and how much pressure to apply. Because of life triggers and the red zone buffing those triggers further. In vanguard their were really powerful effects(limit breaks) you could only activate once you've take a certian amount of damage (most cases it was 4 damage). So it led to a situation where you would purposely stop attacking after dealing 3 damage, so they wouldn't be able to use the powerful limit break effect. Also it has mtg blocking so knowing when and wat units to block/block with is a skill factor as well.

They're in Red. Booster 1's Red support is split between Badratos' dragons and Lionel's beastmen.

Aniplex has neither confirmed not denied that it's coming, but they did strike a deal with Crunchyroll to get the anime simulcast, and they got Build Divide in the English KZfaq Gaming database way before its Japanese launch. That suggests they want to go global with it.

I feel you on the design. Full arts have spoiled me.

I honestly like the characters design and the back card design the front design could be improved tho

@@symphonixblades Yeah, the back of the cards look real classy. It's rare the name of a game plays so well with a card back design. Really cool layout.

No, that's Nakamoto, not Nakamura. The bitcoin creator's name is almost certainly a pseudonym--I doubt he's actually Japanese, considering he's only published and posted messages in English.

No, not at all...since UFS there's been at least Kingdom Hearts, Weiss Schwarz, Victory Spark, Cardfight!! Vanguard, Z/X, Wixoss, Buddyfight, Luck & Logic, Fire Emblem Cipher, Dragoborne, Rebirth For You, Gate Ruler, and Flesh & Blood, and those are only the ones I can remember off the top of my head. It's just that only 8 (soon to be 9) of them have been released in English, and of those only 5 are still going. It's very difficult for new games to survive in the North American and European markets, they generally need big backers to thrive, and even established companies like FFG and Bushiroad fail all the time with these games. We're getting Wixoss in English in two months and the general consensus is that it's gonna be dead on arrival.

@@lost-worlds You're missing my point. I'm not super familiar with all those games, but Fire Emblem Cipher is basically just Magic but with a different life system and fewer card types, Dragoborne is just magic with different card types, and Flesh and Blood is just UFS without the foundations. In terms of games that actually offer an entirely different game rather than a pre-existing game with slight differences, there's magic, netrunner, pokemon, doomtown/monster collection, UFS... and that's about it? Most games that have come out since the early 2000's fall into one of those categories pretty cleanly.

@@chibiraptor Yu-Gi-Oh is a pretty unique card game, I'd say

i think about zenonzard every day :(

@@RarecuisineGaming zenonzard had potential but anime episodes sucks mostly because there were only Two battle episodes and story line was a bit inconsistent. Gameplay mechanics also suffer a lot, especially unbalanced factions ( Red OP, white a joke), and later on strange cards expansions.

@@TheMrYadrian facts, I hated the anime. it should have focused on card battles and they should have left the codeman stories to the mobile game. bandai using collabs means they had to bring in certain income which hurt the game since they had to make money instead of give us players a balanced gameplay experience. I would love to see the game relaunch with a less greedy mindset

@@RarecuisineGaming You point of View I accept fully with one Exception: cards battles like anime should focus more on battles - while it was possible to showcase story of each Codeman, they should 'fight' using cards. Yugioh, battle Spirits, duel Masters and other animes of these gender succesfully advertised their games via "duels".

Zenonzard was cool as a card game but this seems better the anime actually have a story and focus on the card game and the card game its interesting and can have sucess if done right since it's by the creator of Vanguard
