Blue Protocol First Impressions "Is It Worth Playing?"

First impressions of Blue Protocol's recent closed beta test, New PVE anime MMORPG from Japan.
Click here to add Atlantica Online, the classic turn based MMORPG to your Steam wish list - bit.ly/2XXH9LH
Blue Protocol is an upcoming anime MMORPG from Japan that's being developed and published by Bandi Namco, This game has a large focus on story with a fully voice acted main questline with tonnes of Anime cut scenes, your class is determined by the weapon you choose and you're able to switch and level up each weapon in the game, Content wise the focus seems to be entirely on PVE with 6 player dungeons, world bosses, 20 man raid bosses and PVE wave based arenas and It doesn't seem like any PVP content is planned for now.
Aside from that the world is instanced however the zones are very large, you can summon a mount for a certain period of time to boost you across the zones, progression comes entirely from crafting things your self and upon release the game will be free to play.
What do you think about Blue Protocol based on this first impressions gameplay of the closed beta? Is this a game you're excited for? what would you like to see added to the game? let me know in the comments below!

--Blue Protocol DB About The Game Description--
Blue Protocol is an MMORPG developed by the Japanese company known as Bandai Namco. More precisely, by the Project SKY BLUE team. The game runs on Unreal Engine 4 and has a dynamic combat system similar to Tera and Soul Worker. The game immerses you into an animated and rich universe of colours powered by cel-shaded graphics to present anime inspired visuals. Wield a unique weapon by choosing any of the four classes which are known as the Aegis Fighter, Twin Striker, Blast Archer or Spell Caster. Each class stands out with their own unique abilities and specialisations which you can use to defeat your foes and save your friends.
While the world is on the brink of devastation, only you can change the tide. Join forces with friends and strangers to defeat foes beyond your might. Travel the lands, the seas, and time to change the future beyond this fight.
Story of the game
The paradise that the Gods forgot.
The children of man carve their own path across the land.
Regnus, a planet once ruled by a divine tribe thrived using a mystic light.
Many millennia later, what remains are their ruins, treasures and a dark secret.
Start your journey in this forsaken paradise, uncover its truth and become part of history.
-Once, this planet was a sparkling paradise where the Gods lived.
The planet Regnus. A mysterious light “Engram” filled the planet and people lived in extreme prosperity. They were known as the “Bafalia Divine Clan.”
The “Bafalia Civilization” they built spanned all the land in Regnus and they even held the flow of time in their hands. Thus passed centuries, millennia -
The Divine Clan left for the skies and the human age has come. People seek the afterglow of the Gods and explore the Bafalia ruins. Lost technology. Dazzling treasure. Dangerous monsters. Towering remains. And… the all-destroying “Beast of the Planet.”
Spin the planet’s fate. Inscribe a new footprint onto Regnus’ history - !

I like how people that play mages expect to be able to (1) move and cast at the same time and (2) not want to recharge mana but just be able to cast endlessly.

[@ProficientFace]

I think he was commenting on how fun it was more so than a balancing thing. In fact I think mage as undisputedly the most powerful class during the closed alpha. In a game that claims to have done away with the holy trinity, it's not completely out there for people to want mages to be self sufficient and mobile enough to solo content. Having to stand still to cast abilities and be stationary while charging mana really pushes it towards a playstyle that's meant for someone to tank for them or hold aggro and that's against what the dev's have stated the classes are supposed to be, regardless of how powerful it is.

[@xanderbrink5167]

Might be that mage becomes better later in the game. Some classes are good early and some are good late.

[@zippo718]

A lot of modern MMO's lets you move and cast at the same time. See most of the Korean MMOs and mobile MMOs. This just looks like they took a turn-based RPG mage and shoved it into a modern action RPG game. No wonder they feel awkward.

@@ChutUpPleb I don't think they've signed a contract, a lot of devs sais this and that, then they release the game and after a month it become p2w

[@Mekose]

It seems the inventory thing is only for the "open world" portions of the game. When you're in instanced zones it gives you the consumables they expect you to have in that instance. So you can't over-stock on consumables for dungeons so the devs can control the difficulty more closely, meanwhile in open world you have to balance between consumables and crafting mats for progression. I like the idea a lot actually, it gives you a sense of preparation before you leave town. Like you need a bunch of crafting mats and health doesn't regenerate, so do you pack a bunch of consumables for a long journey but can't carry much, or do you pack light and play more risky for a bigger haul? I could see them adding inv slots as a cash shop item to alleviate this; but I think this was a specfically designed game mechanic instead of an engineered problem. like BDO purposefully gives you little inv space and weight for no reason other than to sell you cash shop items; there's no thought behind it like there seems to be in Blue Protocol. I doubt they would sell you inv slots in BP, I think they are trying as much as possible to make the "open world" seem like an Isekai.

SAO is basically a HUUUUGE representation of what Japanese MMORPGs look like. Questing system, zones, guilds and gathering etc. Japanese MMORPGs are kinda different than the mainstream ones tbh. Any isekai can be made into MMORPG (without OP main character and everyone being able to progress equally) and it would be right in the alley of Japanese players (but might feel like different for western players).

Animation wise though this game blows Genshin's character expressions out of the water.

if anyone of you ever go to blue protocol official jp website. You will notice on 2021/4 they suddenly set up recruit site to look for more developers for the game. Right after their last stream to tell players what happened to blue protocol. Personally when u sudden to look for more people in the middle of development that only tells me u start to really get into the development now. What u did before is totally not enough for u to push the game out within a year. A proper develop length for such a great game needs around 5-6 yrs, so i guess the shortest time for it to come out should be around late 2022 which still be reasonable as last CBT started around 2020/12 which i normally consider CBT is around 50%-60% of the progress to become open beta.
