DearDays could have been one of the best ways to onboard new non vanguard players into the [hysical card game, but the high price tag only ensures it will appeal to fans of vanguard. And new players would be the perfect demographic since they havent played the older formats so what is stale for people who played regularily is fresh for them. I like the game, i like how it is comeplete, i like how easy it is to get stuff, i wouldnt want the game to be free to play like master duel but these prices have to drop.

I picked up the game last month along with some of the DLCs and I didn't regret it. It's super easy to buuld new decks, you could build a new one with max rarity cards a day once you get going and that is pretty fun. Tbf if I had to buy the game with my european prices (60 dollars for everything so 180 in total) I wouldn't have done that at all but Mexico is a cool country for more reasons than nachos. Overall great experience and looking forward to crush the ladder with DE Gripho

Deardays are just like... You buy a box of pack and you get everything featured inside the box. But for some reason it's still feel expensive

It's the only way I play the game now. No toxic shop (mine was great, just using this as an example) environment, or driving to a shop. I'm able to learn a deck at my pace, and dlc coming out means I just have to grind for points for a set rather than grind for dollars at actual work.

$70 isn't really cutting it for me. And it baffles me on how there are people that defend this 70 buck price tag. Like wtf??? It's no wonder why vanguard does so poorly in the west. I haven't played the TCG since G era and all my friends stopped playing because they hate overdress so all my cards just collect dust now. And then i find out we got a official vanguard game and to get the full experience i gotta pay $70+$70 for DLC. Nah screw that.

Dear Days is too expensive for what it is in my honest opinion, it's convenient if you don't have a locals around your area or if the TCG just costs too much overall that it becomes more worth while to just purchase the Dear Days DLC. Either way, I think the base game is decent but overpriced and Bushi need to do more with the game so it doesn't become a wasted potential.

Tbh, with the current situation of the TCG, DD is a super premium priced game for no reason, but still is way cheaper than getting into standard

As much as DD being expensive, logically it's actually worth it. Yes it's a $70+ base game with $40-$70 dlcs, but here's why I think its worth it 1. You don't really need to have a physical opponent. Meaning if you're busy to go to your locals (or you're out of town), you could just hop on to DD for a few quick games. 2. Although the game's more expensive, but compared to the physical game it's much cheaper (mostly due to the pricing on secondary market, & PRs). A lot of cards that you can't get irl, you have it in DD's dlc. 3. You can basically play every single standard deck for the price of one, as compared to owning decks irl. I only own 3 decks irl (all 3 decks are watered down versions cuz there are certain cards that I couldn't get cuz of the prices in the market). But in DD I have around 20+ decks that are in full power, includes every nation, which I can cycle through. 4. Yes DD's update is slower than the physical meta, but that means you'll know what decks will run rampant in DD's when the update drops & know how to counter them (if you're active rank matchup players).

I'd really love to get into it via Dear Days on steam, but all the dlc and high base price kinda turns me off. I'll stick to emulating old card games :/

For me, its worth it. It let's me play Vanguard without needing a physical opponent...or the need to spend real money on lots and lots of cards. The amount of in-game packs I've bought already have far surpassed the cost I would have paid to buy them in real life.

For me its worth it due to i can play decks i cant afford in the tcg ❤❤❤❤ True prices both the game and dlc are a problem (the need to make money) but its really worth it

As someone who's tried to play competitively. Absolutely NO. Not up to current sets so can't even try new decks versus PTCG live which is up to date it may be a buggy mess BUT FUCK it's free wtf furyu. Main issues for the game with me 1. Way too behind the set releases other card games online do a better job 2. Price. Wtf is that price furyu. 3. No one to play with because number 2

Well as a certain dude live in Malaysia, I can say wait for the offer to get the game. Why? because in Malaysia are are pricing around RM150+ and also lets say you want to play waifu deck and go for lyrical monasterio clan. Then this whole game are kind of worth more than the irl deck you can own. Another reason is, in irl you buy the deck you can play with it but this game require you to spend your time to grind the in game currency to buy the "pack" and pray to rng god to give you all the card you need to build the deck

Please just make Master Duel equivalent of Vanguard with every single format and card pool available (starting from original era)

I love Dear Days, mainly because I can build decks that I can’t afford/don’t have time to build irl. Although I won’t lie, I was on the side that believes the prices are ridiculous, but I understand that the devs need funding to support the game(still sucks though). And yeah, the wait for the addition of the newer booster sets/trial decks is a bit of a pain, but not the end of the imo All n all, the game’s *kinda* worth it (if they periodically cut the prices, I’d think it’d be worth it, but that’s just me tho)

I was planning to buy this game when it got its first good sale. I'm still waiting... In the mean time I started Shadowverse instead because it has a much better and much cheaper game to try.

Retail? No. Even after enjoying the demo? HELL NO emulated?, pirated, discounted, or hand me down? Yes!

I love DD, its expensive but its ok for a game I really love and cant play local. BUT the dlc price is wayyyy to high, it made me lose the interest of the game tbh, dosent feel woth it at all, especially with this big amount of dlcs.

Dear Days when compared to the TCG seems like it's worth it but it's on a place whose market sees it differently. Furyu seems to forget that people on these platforms are mostly gamers and when compared to other games you can play, it's just not worth the price to me. This is even before the fact that you need to buy the game 3 times in order to have access to all the essential parts of the game. It basically wants to be a first party AAA game in pricing but the content while good, is nowhere near the level of bigger titles

I love Dear Days, its a real shame the main barrier for the game its the absurd price in certain parts of the world. Honestly if you are still unsure on wether to buy it or not I suggest you wait for the anniversary of the game, hopefully it will get a decent sale.

Supercheap in Europe? I beg to differ. I mean I don´t know what "cheap" is for you DF but 60€ for the game AND around 50+ € per DLC is NOT cheap for me! And the story is not sooo big at all and normaly I buy games BECAUSE of the story (this was an exception). The only reason I bought it is the exact same reason you said: There is absoloutely NOBODY for me to play with physicaly!

3 month left before vgdd hits 1 year release so I hope they get price discount at least 30% for base game, as for collab cards that I was looking forward to get in the game but got dissapointed, maybe because its hard to get the license I guess while bang dream hopefully get a pass since both of them is own by bushiroad.

It costs too much, theres no players, and they haven't updated the cards in like a year

I bought the game a month or so ago….. it was a steep price but I’ve loved playing it tbh I’m now on danji’s story and was pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t just a case of playing through the same story with different avatars.

I find it worth it because some irl decks cost the same as if you did buy the base game plus dlc. I believe it should be cheaper for base game if they continue to add dlc. It would also be nice if they added cross-play to widen the rank match-ups and release newer sets earlier to keep the game refreshing instead of playing the same format for so long.

i'm a xenoverse player i'm used to infinite dlc packs and crazy prices. my only concern is just how much content the game has (and a new game + or post game content). i'm gonna try the demo first, interested in this series with how much this was promoted while i was watching buddyfight. disappointed that in terms of online interactivity it doesn't have much but hoping it gets better in the future (just like that rollback on dbfz)

I will be toadally honest, I picked up this game in general because my friends on discord got me into it with the Zero release on day 1 and played all the way into the end of the servers. While I do have a love for the game as evidenced by the Harri profile picture I wouldn't really spend $70 on a card game simulator when the beauty I found on the game was being able to play with friends at all times. Not only can you not do that because it is a console game (unless you own a switch) but for that same pricing you could buy any of the other great games that share the same price. I feel that while it is a great way of officially playing Vanguard it is still nowhere close to what I expected, specially for that price point.

I personally find its worth since it lets me try the past decks that I wanted but couldn't try due to price and space issues. price could be a bit cheaper but as far as the game goes, I love it.

It’s better than yugioh legacy of duelist on the switch but waiting on sets to drop after it’s been out for months physically killed it for me.

Unironically? The game costs around a *bit* over what it would cost me to spend on petrol to get to the only local in my country. So for me it was hella worth it.

This game is worth max $30! With the DLC it should be $60 TOTAL!! Furyu should drop the price because this is killing Vanguard because people I am trying to get into Vanguard does NOT wanna pay $70 for the game and it is turning TONS of people away! I say nobody should support Dear Days UNTIL they permanently drop the price to $30!!

Out of ALL the card game animes, Vaguard is the BEST at teaching viewers how to play the game! Don't watch the reboot, just original, same rules, they show u EVERY TURN with no skips.

Can we just get a Master Duel already, I got into it after not playing Yugioh for 4 years and I am absolutely loving my time on it. I need it so bad lol.

My thoughts exactly, this is a good game, but if the price is almost the same as zelda ToTK, nobody except real TCG player will buy it

Is it still easy to just swap over to a Colombian account to just buy the game and DLC for cheaper? I see all the people trying to justify the price but this game is just not worth 70$ base imo. I'd gladly throw 20-30$ for base game, but I'd consider buying on the Colombian e shop if that's still an option.

I lost it when you brought up buying Xenoblade 3 or Dear Days. As someone who played both, the quality doesn’t even compared 😂 I still listen to Xenoblade 3’s sound track it’s so good. Imo, Dear Days is a fun game, just half baked on top of being over priced, at least in NA

Only worth if you don’t have locals (which I don’t) I could play CFA, but I don’t find it that fun

For me, it's just not popular enough. If it has a stable player count wher u can be matched online in less than a minute is probably a good indicator of how its doing. Can't crossplay with switch hurts it also

i havent played vanguard pretty much since v. ive touched the overdress format but didnt like it. so i think ill pick this up at least as demo to relearn how to play

For me who is a fan of CFV through Zero and NO paper support in my location, I'd say Dear days was worth it retrospectively. I am still holding off on the next card pass for money reasons

As someone who is experienced but unfortunately has no locals dear days is a great way to enjoy vanguard at home

wait it doesnt have spectate mode? :< there goes the esports dream

This makes me miss zero so much Yh it had its problems but at least u can grind 😢

I played this game at a con in italy many years ago and fell in love, but i could NEVER find locals playing it. I bought two decks so i could play with my sister, some booster packs that i ended up selling on ebay because i just gave up. I waited so long for an online cfv game to arrive and when it did, it's expensive af :') i think i'll buy it just like i bought ff dissidia nt for 60?70?€ when it came out even though the game has never been worth it. I played it for hundreds of hours anyway. Still i will need to make money first lol i don't have a job.

if the price not as high as it is then is worth it...but base and dlc price is too high.

Thank you for this video! Above all, I’m surprised this game is still up and supported well(including the PRs that arrive faster than EN!). For me, it’s worth it for that meme final fight with Farvneel and his banger theme

What platform gets more play, PC or Switch?

I would say that if you definitely interested in playing vanguard that it’s worth buying the base game, and you could definitely pick and choose what DLC you want(this is obviously if you don’t mind spending the money of course. If you do mind, don’t go for it). If you’re so-so about vanguard and you were looking to use dear days as a way to see if you actually like it, then i probably wouldn’t spend the money because there’s the chance in that situation that it turns out you don’t like vanguard and you just sunk 70 dollars into a simulator.

Where was this video three days ago when I bought the game? 😢 It would've helped me decide easier

Vanguard Ex got discounted down to 40$ and even 20$ at some point iirc so I'm surprised that at least the base game for Dear Days hasn't been on sale for more than 10% yet.

I like the 3ds games more

Can you make an updated version of this lmao?

Hello, new to your channel, I was a fan of the first cardfight vanguard, and its awsome its got a game. I'm just wondering what decks are good in general, but it is also fun to use

I remember watching your vanguard ex let play, so how do dd compared to ex? Is it worth going back to ex or just stick with dd? I can't read Japanese also😅

what is going to happen to fight vanguard dear days in the future

REALLY tempted to get this expensive for all the card packs, but I LOVE card games, played all the american yu gi oh games except the last big traditional one on console since it kinda ruined it by giving you all the cards.

If it was cheaper or standard price like other Switch games, I would take a consideration, but that money speaks enough for me not to get it.

The DD and the DLC needs a Sale

i love the game i think its worth it but u would have to love vanguard

I don't really care for multiplayer or "social" aspect (in-game or irl), so I'd buy this for the single player and PvE content. From what I hear this is actually one of the better games in that regard.

I like OG vanguard up to legion mate. Im not huge on stride and I hate overdress. Is it still feasible for me to get this game? Can I still play the vanguard I like?

Notification Squad rise up

To me DD is worth is since I don't go to locals due to my crazy work schedule. I do hope with DLC they keep adding cards. Already made "The End". Now with vermillion just coming out. I hope he makes it into DD as well.

I was going to day one purchase dear days but because of the price I still haven't bought it

See to me Dear Days is worth it if Bushirod plays their cards right, they can take inspiration from Pokémon & have live CFV online tournaments & I think that will be refreshing for the CFV community since everyone likes dear days (regardless of the regional prices which I wish the price was lower) I had to buy it through Brazil prices which was WAYYYYYYY cheaper than USA prices

I picked this game up after much research (and some of your vids) because i was debating whether or not i should pay for this price tag. Knowing i am getting the first 5 main sets, 2 "Bermuda Triangle" sets, 2 Festival and a Promo Sets, and i think uo to 5? 6? Overdress Starter decks, and using onlu ingame currency that can be earned via playing the game propwr without funneling more P2W money into it? All for the price of a PS5 game? AND i can play with anyone everywhere in an engine that actually works? Thats legit. Coming from the days of Cardfight Area and the failed Cardifghr Simulator of old, i would rather pay $70 USD + tax tonolay exclusively obline without strings attached than pay $x000 on physical cards and $20+ on transportstion.

After saving up, i'm finally biting the bullet and buying this game. Hahaha will you make a Vanguard Dear Days deck tier list or there's already one?

I genuinely don't know how good a game would have to be for me to spend 90 dollars on. I didn't spend 90 bucks on the full Naruto Storm bundle - and probably wouldn't justify it. And one single game, that still needs a dlc of 80+ dollars, is a no-go from me man

Dear days is far too expensive. I get what they were going for with everything being a one time purchase, but the way it’s laid out is a complete mess. Would it really kill them to reorder it and make the title more clear. Stuff like “Cardfight!! Vanguard DD: Additional Card Pass” being placed below a random character skin and an item included in the pass itself is attrocious. They should just abbreviate the games name to CVDD and call the additional card sets expansion followed by their number, and group them in with the season passes. I only want to buy the cards but I hate that I have to read each individual item to make sure I know what it is. Also after almost a full year the game has yet do drop below $60 even during sales. Sadly I don’t think I have any other choice other than buying it considering the closest local is 2 hours away.

Price and content aside, I was actually wondering if you were going to address player count and matchmaking time. I wanted a way to play Vanguard online similar to MD, but I was hesitant to get into DD because I don't want to be spending so much money and then have trouble finding online matchmaking if the player count is too low. I don't know if I want to sit 20+ minutes waiting for a match.

I play it I just wish the game was regular price compared to other switch games , maybe 70$ for it with some DLC

Before I watch the vid imma give my take on it. If you’re a vg player who is really looking for that online vg experience and is willing to fork over the cash to play it. But I wouldn’t recommend it to the average consumer

I take a marginal utility approach to these kind of outlays. A song on Itunes costs 99p in my country, so in my mind, if I play it 100 times or more, it has paid for itself. I enjoy Vanguard and if this game costs me £80.00, if I play it on at least 81 occasions, I would justify the initial cost. It's a weird, convoluted mindset but I think it works for me!

The game and DLCs are awesome, but not for that price...

Last update was a year ago, no online players. Dumbest financial decision in card game history.

Dear days could have been this thing that helped other gamers get into the game. Just wish they employed the master duel strat where you don't have to spend upfront but so subsequently. Which makes it better buy so people can try out vanguard. Then the money sink it's like I could buy a fully competitive deck for that price and go locals. So price bad wish it was more like master duel.

It's so easy. Drop them to reasonable price. Release them on multiple consoles. Add cross-play. Players are gonna come around in droves. It might've helped VGZ but no. They went full greedy route. Now, VGZ is dead, no one's buying the games.

Got the physical copy of playasia bcuz that's just how i am. I prefer physical copies. Spent $62 after shipping and tax. Was it worth that price? No, but I'm obsessed with cardfight so I'm always playing it

Did they ever fix that absolutely horrible translation the game had at launch? The original demo was the main reason I never got the game, because it just felt like they ran the thing through a machine.

MegaMan BN theme playing in the background?

Hey! I love this music! Is it Megaman Battle Network???

Does Dear Days have any support for Premium/V-Premium?

Heck, I was thinking I needed to prepare to drop $100 to get the sets I wanted/needed for Keter and DE. Only grabbing sets 8 and 10 is a lot more doable for me! Thank you for the insight, DF!

Not sure if anybody is going to see this comment, but here are my thoughts on dear days. 1. I do think the game is good. For what the base game offers, I think it’s great. Not many veterans have played vanguard as a campaign mode ever. Most people wouldn’t even go as far to get the 3ds games etc since they were coded in Japanese. To sit down and have a unique experience from the standard PVP is certainly enjoyable. The fact that dear days was coded to be English, have a unique campaign mode that ties in with the anime of sorts, you have an absolute banger of a game. 2. However, while the base game itself is polished and furnished with great content, it is certainly not worth the ridiculous price tag on it. In a vacuum, yes, the game serves as an cheaper alternative to those who don’t want to have the hassle of forking out (a lot) and gathering the cards to build a deck. On top of that, it solves the issue of your quiet locals and/or busy schedule to head to a shop. Another reason is to expose complete newcomers to the world of vanguard. That being said, When compared eye to eye against other great card game simulators on steam, now it suddenly doesn’t feel like it’s worth it. Other card simulators are not only priced cheaper, but have notably better reviews, features etc that would trump that of DD. You aren’t also competing just with card simulators, you are also compared with opportunity cost of gamer potentially using that money to get another noteworthy RRR titles. 3. Which brings me to my next point. The game itself doesn’t look very sustainable. With an average of 80 players in any given 24 hour window, that is worse that the horrendously reviewed Artifact by Valve, which commands 110+ in a 24 hour window. Post story, what do I do now? Play rank? Fat hope. If you dont get the DLC, you aren’t going to win anything. And with the low player count, it wouldn’t surprise me if you matchmaker with someone either better or worse than your current rank. In Differentfight’s chronojet video, he matchmaked a beginner 1 class fighter with a youthberk trial deck. That isn’t how online PVP experience is supposed to be like. The solution is to get the dlc then? Well, if you are super passionate about spending 200+ on DLCs for digital cards on a game that doesn’t look on track to be sustainable, then ye go ahead. Or more so likely, most base game owners people won’t even buy the dlc at all because it is too damn overpriced and are smart enough not to waste their time on rank. 4. Contuining on the DLCs,Even considering post game single player, it does get repetitive, boring after awhile. Let me put 2 cases here. Assuming you don’t have the dlc, chances are you are single player minded and are smart enough not to play rank often. Your cpu fights would get really really boring after. You would just ignore the game all over, contributing to the already low player count. And now assuming you have the dlc and don’t feel like ranking, your decks would be so optimized that not even most of the “free” cpus are capable of putting any form of fight on you. Would that still be fun? 5. What are the alternatives to DD then? That’s easy, tabletop sim, untap, and the best one, cardfight area. Tabletop sim requires you to pay on steam. If you don’t have much purpose in tabletop, suggest you save the money for DD. Untap and Cardfight area fulfills the same role, provide new and concurrent cards while updating the banlist etc. Best of all, it’s free! If you want to play the updated cards, have a feel of them, these are the way to go rather than splashing out on the dlc which are 4-5 critical sets behind. Since DD’s ranking system for the most part is rendered useless due to the low player count, CA and Untap would just be the same, albeit with updated cards and of course free. TLDR, what I am trying to get is that the base game is good. And you should experience it for yourself only when there is a good sale, 60 bucks ain’t it for me. As a gamer, there are better games worth 60 than DD. Don’t bother getting the dlc unless they have it on sale. If you are willing to forgo the coded features DD have, there are better and free alternative out there for you to experience online PVP. Hope bushi isn’t treating this game like some side quest. The game may die very soon. I would love if the dlcs come with some kind of new campaign to at least incentivize people to stick with DD rather than move on to the alternatives. Or give an option to improve the CPU’s deck list.

Elden right and dlc or DD and dlc you tell me

Its easier in switch i buy every dlc and base game for 80$ changing my store location its the only form i can play vg now sadly

As someone who dropped off before Overdress, and therefore doesn't want to play Overdress ... No CFA or something similar would be more worth it. But again, don't want to play Overdress So my only real option, is to play CFA against myself (I don't speak Japanese)

Honestly 70 dollars for a card game and if you want everything else plus dlc its like 200 plus its too much for a card game even though i really do want the game

I tell myself I can’t justify buying a $70 base game but then turn around and buy a $200 Eva SP

still feel like the price issue is not bushiroads fault and we should blame furyu maybe the content creators could hasve bushi atempt to make furyu make the price lower

I got like 110 hours on steam, it's good for those who doesn't have access to locals or the real card, and it is a great game in general (hope we get something like this for premium in the future😢), but would i recommend it with that price and all the dlc for full experience? I'll be blunt, unless you reallyyy reallyyy REALLLYYY like vanguard, no, it is not worth it, hell, i even say that they are shameless to put that kind of price on this game when the competition offers more while costing less (pointing at rush duel and shadowverse), like compared to those the game feels barebone and low effort, and they cost you like a fuckton of money, the game don't even have the ost from the anime wtf (youthberk theme when?) At the very least sprinkle a lot of fanservice like ost, animation or something, but if you really like vanguard especially standard, money to spare and friends to play with, it is worth a try i guess

Also long live standard format i hope it wont die ❤❤❤❤

is this the first game on the switch that is $70 usd?

it's not worth the price but to play against other players it's the only digital option at the moment

Is dear days up until the current standard set BP-10? If so, I am very interested. It is my way to learn the game deeper.

Not really I bought it on a whim but I'm not a fan of the overdress format and still regret vanguard Zero shut down😢

I bought the physical game but it's not worth the DLC cost like any gamer waiting for to buy this game wait for a complete edition of this game not paying 20% of missing game content

If you have no qualms with spending what you need to play it, then it's worth it. What I don't think is worth it is once some people start regretting said purchase, they use everything in their power to advertise the game as the best thing ever made since sliced bread, like you die in the game you die IRL taken to cult-like levels. I'd rather that person be honest and say, I'm not interested in getting into the IRL TCG and I don't trust CFA/TTS so I'm gonna get this, instead. I also don't find it comfortable to advertise in random social media platforms to use different regional accounts to lower the purchase price of the game, just leaves a bad taste.

Whats really disappointing unless im not mistaken the game has not gone on sale for any amount of money since launch at least for me in the states

I was very happy when this game came out. But this game is way to expensive. The fact that you have to pay more than $70 just to get access to the cards you want is insane. This game should've been like Master Duel. But it isn't. The game hasn't been updated in a year and the developers act like they don't care about the players. It's really sad.
