"A carefully shaped precious stone" damn I love Vanillaware so damn much

Honestly with how well the game has done they should be open to doing one dlc. Put the cut classes back in and a new continent

Vanillaware is the Studio Ghibli of game studios. You can tell their stuff is treated as complete works of art first and foremost with this interview. But I also hope this game has and goes on to make them a lot of money so we get more projects like this.

The problem with this game aren't the performance issues but the gameplay itself feel so addictive that when the story ended I want more battle, do more, feel more and I don't want to repeat the final battle over and over again. It's shame we unlocked ton of character but can't use it in many situation. I hoping a content for end game where there's some kind of dungeon fighting and put some small plot into it like the mystery of unicorn like somw kind of tower that players can climb and fighting Their way upward where Alain can find the answer.

If this game was put on pc the modding scene would never end.

This Game is absolutely amazing and already one of my favourites. I'm totally fine with not getting DLC's, the only thing i'd really like to see is New Game+. Being able to start over while having access to all my classes would be a Dream!

I’d like the dancer to also be able to charm an enemy so that it attacks its own allies.

Anyone else want to see Vanillaware make a 1:1 scale of Ogre Battle 64 with their visuals and fluid animations?

I feel like the Muskeeters class could be used for a sequel/successor game that takes place in an American/French Revolution Period-like setting where war tech is moved beyond medieval weaponry.

Hearing about the 'Musket class' makes so much sense to me because there are semblances of Drakenhold being implied to be more mechanically advanced than Cornia but the Arbalist is the only class in the game with a mechanical weapon. I would've loved to see more of that. And of course I would've loved to see the visible damage effect be a thing. For obvious reasons but also because it would be cool!

Won't complain. The game is really great in itself. Whether they work on their next game or on dlc i'll support them.

They missed out on adding Pumpkinheads!! I guess I have to go back to my beloved Ogre Battle 😅

All three of those classes actually have art in the artbook, if you haven't had a chance to take a look at it, yet.

Damn, would have loved an update that adds cut classes.

A DLC would be a massive boon to the game and keep its lifespan alive if they take that approach

I like to imagine the musketeers being better against heavies instead of fliers. A shotgun type attack thats lowers defenses in a row maybe? And the debuffs you mentioned would also fit perfectly. Close range gunner with debunks anyway..would be neat. I almost feel like Gilbert is your "bard" but maybe not to the full extent.

I bet the dancer and troubadour would’ve looked Gorgeous!! Assuming they would be the buffer to the shaman’s debuffer role. I’d downright buy a dlc so fast that adds those in. Maybe a small map to give us a character with those classes somewhere. I bet troubadour would be in cornia or Albion and dancer feels like a good fit in elheim since they didn’t get many regionally unique classes.

Would DLC be profitable? It’d be sold as less than the full game obviously, and it wouldn’t be as expensive to make since they have a lot of assets to reuse. But idk how Vanillaware works, have they already started working on another title? Maybe so! It’s a shame we won’t get more from Unicorn Overlord, but it’s still true that what we got was super fun

I like that they aren’t doing dlc this game doesn’t need it and I rather them just make a sequel or something instead I know vanillaware doesn’t do sequels either but I feel like this game can definitely become there first franchise with how successful it is

There is no class that is centred on buffing classes, basically the opposite of the shaman, that’s what I see the bard as. The dancer to me would be a mixed class similar to the elves. I see it as a tank that draws in attacks and lowers damage aswell as massive dodge. Secondly it would either do minor buffing or debuffing, the later ideally as the mesmerizing movement of the dancers make enemies lose focus. The musketeer would in my mind focus on hitting whole rows with shotgun type blasts while having something else to go along with it. Maybe it always crits as it’s fun shots, or maybe it lowers initiative, evasion or defensive stats. Buck shot hits whole rows, flame shot ignites whole rows with 75/75 potency and lastly chain shot which lowers the stats I mentioned

It makes sense. I cant wait for their next problaby a port of muramasa or the next George kamitani game.

I think bards and dancers were replaced by Gilbert while musketeers ended up being arbalests.

I feel like gaming companies do this often these days: announce no plans for a sequel or further content…and later drop something out of nowhere. I think they’ll release something eventually. It may be some time before they do, but they’d be foolish not to…

If you think about it. It makes sense to cut damaged armor/clothes if anything had to be cut. Because ether they get "repaired" when healed breaking emersion. (Which is kinda the point) Or they have to make assets and animations for damaged armor/clothes for both healthy and low health characters. Literally doubling the work for a little emersion. Unless they tied some kind of mechanic to take more damage when armor/clothes are broken. If anything I would have liked the bard and musketeer as you described them.

I would love to see these classes. But I think a class for dancer would be different. It would be a thief and a shamon mix. A character that will debuff the enemy with distracting dances while also being near untouchable to take away any remaining AP the enemy has. May have an offensive move but would be nearly useless.

I think that they made the right call with the brevity of the stories. Vanillaware made 13 Sentinels, they certainly had the capacity to dive deep on these characters. There's so much other stuff going on that it would've bogged things down to constantly have to check off support conversations. As for the game itself, I find it a really impressive work coming from a studio not known for strategy games. I would love a sequel but if this is all we get I'm more than satisfied. I'm not sure if you ever played Symphony of War, but they had musket users as supreme glass cannons. It was an interesting implementation! Maybe they could be about piercing through columns and armour unit, but I think that might be hard to balance.

Can you explore the arena scene? I am doing some of these and the amount of creativity is wild. I have been beat down by almost every combination. Whenever That happens I copy that combo only to be beat down by another combo. Things I have seen are double Valkyries just being impossible to kill, alcina using shield to block the elf sisters elemental roar+gambler coin+amber sniper lens combo; using dispel all to combat that shield, using tailwind accessory and griffin to pump up initiative. Many strays to discuss

oh my god, we're probably getting guns in UO

I have a few issues with the way the access to classes turned out and the balance. 1). Elven fencers feel really underwhelming all in all to the point where I just delegate them as my quick impetus bots. Every other class in the game has some strong draw of either offence or supportive assets and elven fencers just tries too much to be everything that it ends up being inadequate at everything. 2). Not enough offensive staff units. You get Yahna, Auch and Scarlett to use all of your baller staves that give access to Trinity Rain, Earthquake, the Wind Scepter, or high base stat staves like the Kingstaff, Pontificial Staff, the Anemoi Staff, Sacral Staff. On top of that, very few classes make use of the conferral tomes and the synergies between these classes make it almost mandatory to put them together. The low number of offensive staff classes/characters limits the diversity people in team composition and strategies. I say, cut one of the Elven Archers, Great Knights, Landsknechts, Swordmasters and Breakers each for another wyvern, another warlock, another witch, access to the Albion Dark Marquess before the final map and another Dark Knight. All of the former classes are over-saturated and the latter ones are under-explored

I think the character development explanation is just an excuse for the lack of effort, but I can understand if the budget (or lack thereof) has some influence. Nonetheless, the game is still awesome and something I've been playing on repeat simply because the mechanics is something unique.

This game as it stands is my game of the year. It's just been a fun and fantastic masterpiece of a game to play. I absolutely love it and am constantly playing and thinking about the game.

In 2024 we actually got a COMPLETE GAME for the initial purchase!? Unheard of and brilliant! No additional price gouging crap like costume packs or the final continent to conquer. Nothing additional to buy. Everything is already there. I love it.

I really hope one of these games should break the mold and make DLC and expand the ending that eludes to a sequel where the world falls apart

I wish there was a musketeer in the game I loved the musketeers in darkest dungeon and I think a musketeer with ability’s that mark certain opponents like the ones from darkest dungeon would be a cool and unique edition to the game as we don’t have anyone in unicorn overlord who helps the team to deal more damage to a single target and I think a musketeer would work so well in that role

When they do add more content to this game, hope they add more unique sprites to the mercs. The disappointment in my face when the flat-faced fighter variants changed helmets when promoted, heh

Im half way through elfiem an was curious is there magic flyers?

I think it's a shame there's no DLC planned. Given they cut content, and with the dark marque characters, it's a shame there's not much to do with them. But hopefully the game's successful enough that one day they either do a sequel or make another new game iterating on some of the same ideas.

Mr. Titanium Legman, thank you for all your hard work and fantastic insight for Unicorn Overlord. We share the same love for RPGs and I’m grateful that I came across your channel. Keep up the fantastic work and God bless brother.

“We have achieved everything that we aimed to do, so there are currently no plans to create additional downloadable content for this title.” No DLC is not the same as no Unicorn Overlord 2 so I still have hope I will get to see another game like this.

imagine if there's people making a uncut content mod

thats a bit of a shame of no dlc id love to see those missing classes introduced in a like middle eastern themed continent

On the cut classes, i do feel game has enough classes that mostly dont overlap with each other that i wouldnt miss a couple classes being cut, i trust vanillaware decision on this. DLC wise, i dont need such things too as i have played the game, completed it, had a blast and thats all i need from a game. I dont feel the need to be playing this game long after i finish the story and had my fill of the postgame bonuses like recruiting alcina and the amalia fights. A new game+ would be welcome, but i wouldnt pay for it and its fine if vanillaware decided to not do it as for now i'm satisfied with the game already. All in all, cant wait for whatever vanillaware cooks up next

Hopefully the next game being worked on is a port of Muramasa Rebirth with the DLC included. It’s time to free that game from its Vita prison! And of course, the new game that Kamitani is working on will be interesting too but thats a ways off.

One of my fav games! Although allowing custom maps would have made this game perfect.

dlc classes would probably be a waste. They were probably just unnecessary when similar classes either did it better or did it comparably. Dancer/Bard could have been a single unit, but one is male and the other is female and they were probably redundant with the dance items and shamans exist. Same for prince being a similar buffer class and it would probably make him seem less unique. Musketeers were probably redundant with three different archer classes in game that do different things. Battle damage would have been nice. Id rather just have a pc version so we can mod it. Has anyone looked into the files to find abandoned content in the launch version?

I mean, if destructible outfits... What can you do with Railanor ? The game is already more than good with its current state, without all unnecessary dlc, marketing garbage.

Am I insane? I don't remember a lot of the names of NPCs or whatnot, but the article mentions a "Rex and Travis" and drama surrounding the two of them. Was there a Rex NPC I am forgetting? Or do we think it's just Bruno's/Berengaria's Japanese name/nickname? Because I can't think of any drama surrounding him that didn't involve them. Maybe I'm just dumb and missed something XD But at the end of the day I don't want any DLC. I've told people before that I'm mostly focusing on buying games that come as one whole game with nothing extra. Octopath Traveler... Baldur's Gate 3, and now Unicorn Overlord. Including DLC, especially paid DLC, will leave a bad taste in my mouth. I think we should bring back the good old days when games were a *game* and not packages that support the $700 extra stuff tacked on.

Soooooo… ready to admit then that the generic elf classes being two unisex variants instead of being four super-distinct one *isn’t* a sign of the budget cuts? :-D ;-P

damn, so no ng+? :c

armor and clothing getting blow off... hmmm... kinda like Queens blade?

If no dlc then a sequel or a free update thst let's us replay maps with higher level enemies. Nothing has been as cool as the last dracenhold battle

They should plan a dlc

This game is amazing. I would rather vanillawere make a new great game than waste time on some dlc. This game doesn't need anything else.

I'd rather they focus on doing a sequel or another passion project instead of a dlc they'd feel forced to do (Even though I want a dlc SO BAD)

god give us new game plus

No dlc? Boo. I guess that’s pretty standard for these developers though. They don’t revisit series or do the same game style over again.

Hey- hi, I'm a fan, I like to be serviced, thanks 🗿 Lol I think the battle damage would have been fine if the rating appropriately reflected it (without people demanding everything must be made with the presumption that if it's a game kids will have unfettered access to it), and even have it default to off, just be a toggle you have to go into the settings to turn on. Or do how they did back in the day and make it a cheat code 😂👌

I love how some people demand DLCs... Come on! We finally have a finished game in 2024! What's wrong again?

new game+ mode 😢

13:19 no fence sitting no censorship or stfu

Battle dmg definitely should be included just to annoy the woke journalists screwing over stellar blade.

3:09 - what a bad excuse for lazy writing. Honestly this is an embarrassing take. It just sounds like something a Shill would say
