Ive listened to the community, and Ive planned it all out, so Im ready to launch some much awaited changes that practically everyone was asking about :
- Save anywhere in the world from the Menu , this saving version will not heal you, and you will still have to visit Healers to be Healed, also you may at the beggining of the game choose the old Save System (no Menu, Healers will save only) which is of course much higher risk and you will be rewarded 8000 Kan if you choose the old save system. This choice is pressented to you in Maggots Nest (the beggining of the Game). Note this is still experimental and may cause problems.
- A light Fast Travel system, you will be able to travel to all Pro-Ichigo Zones by visiting the Sign Post in Barracks #9 and all Anti-Ichigo zones by visiting the Sign Post in Barracks #1 , consult the ingame map for further game aligence. This is done only in the Seireitei since it has circular movement which seems to confuse a lot of people. All other worlds : Human World, Hueco Mundo, Dangai, Rukongai, Halloween World and Lamp Society all have linear movement so it shouldnt be a problem.
- The Ability to play as Ichigo, in a fun little secret Mode available in Maggots Nest, there is no personall storyline for Ichigo as you are really not supposed to be him in the story, but you can enjoy his playstyle and his power ! Ive chosen the version of Ichigo as he was in Hueco Mundo before the Dangai training as Playable. He is powerfull attack oriented hero that is good in melee and ranged (GETSUGA TENSHOOOO!). He is also very fast - but can not cast or learn Hado or Bakudo, also his Bakudo defence is sorely lakinng so he cant take many Cero or Hado attacks . His Bankai and Hollowfication are also available from the start and you will be able to playtest both new ability systems. All in all his playstyle most resembles the Strongman. Still experimental.
- A special Sanrei Glove sold by Mayuri in his basement, which gives the wearer the power to change his class from Shinigami to Quincy temporarily while wearing the item piece. Allows you to basically playtest Uryus powers before the TYBW arc. Quincy are powerfull ranged attackers , simmilar to Hado specialists with some unique Bakudo like tricks. You may remove the Glove outside of combat to revert to a Shinigami playstyle.
Other than this some Major Gameplay Changes Are:
-A New Sidequest about the return of the Quincy remnants of Yhwaches army ! In the Seireitei who are exploiting the chaos of the civil war to aquire a way to return their dead god. The sidequest is available to all from the Beggining of the Game. Although you will probably have to get a lot more powerfull to finish it.
- Kaido Operation , a new ability for Kaido training specialists, it not only heals you, but allows you to Save instantly, out of combat. Available regardles of what Save option youve chosen. Some Companions mainly all Kaido training companions and Kira from the Squad 12 Captaincy rank also have this ability now.
- Developing a PvP Hotseat Arena, mostly Shinigami based for now, where you can but heads with your favorite Characters in the show ,planned :
Captains- Kyoraku, Sui Feng, Byakuya, Kensei, Hitsuyaga, Kenpachi, Mayuri, Rukia, Ichigo (Hueco Mundo Arc) , Yoruichi, Lisa, Aizen (pre-Hogyoku)
Liutenants: Nanao, Marechiyo, Hinamori, Hanataro, Mashiro, Matsumoto, Ikkaku, Ayasegawa, Nemu, Renji, Kira, Hisagi, Hiyori
Humans : Uryu (pre-TYBW) , Uryu Vampire, Chad, Orihime, Kyoko, Ururu, Kanonji
Hollows : Cirruci, Lolly, Menolly, Lillynet, Roka , Yulford, Vega, generic Adjuchas and Vasto Lorde
Bounts : Yoshino
Wizards : Noel, Ninny
Guests : BELMOD
*For now it is only 1v1. accessible through Barracks #12 Mayuri, liable to change
Hope it will be done in about 14 days, aiming for my birthday, cake for everyone !
