@caswellweird2 жыл бұрын
It was quite the double edged sword of a decision. On the one hand, it paved the way for writing decisions I don’t think we would have received without a mechanic focus. But on the other hand, GX created a pretty bad formula reliance for the franchise that whittled away at both the games balance and writing creativity. Fusion as a metaphor for Alchemy and as a representation of bonds. Synchros and the concept of progression. Xyzs and the concept of “ranking-up” into a better/stronger person. Pendulu- **WHEEZE**

@bryanstombaugh20002 жыл бұрын
Pendulum can represent a few things, actually: 1) On the spectrum of light and dark, everything and everyone is constantly swinging between the two, which is why there are two pendulum zones. 2) The arc of light that was drawn in the sky by the Pendulum brought different people together by connecting them, reflected in Yuya's ideal to make everyone throughout the four dimensions smile. 3) The pendulum is also said to bring back certain memories, which probably explains all the callbacks to the eras before ARC-V.

That does sort of explain why Fusions especially in Season 4 felt slapped on rather than be the focus from the start. Namely Edo's Destiny HEROes and Chrono's Ancient Gears - those two decks didn't use Fusions until their user's final duels and the Fusions themselves feel like they were just bonuses. Asuka also shifted to using primarily Rituals with the Cyber Angels, and Johan's Crystal Beasts only got their Fusion support AFTER GX ended. You also have people like Saiou, O'Brien and Amon who never Fusion Summoned at all.

That is true the only characters that made sort of frequent use of fusion summoning prior to Jaden was Yugi and Kaiba (Kaiba mainly for Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon). As the series go on, they use stronger, at times easier to bring out monsters to make up for it (like Yugi got a lot more support cards for Dark Magician and had the magnet cards while Kaiba used union monsters and had tons more op Spell and Trap cards lol)

Maybe we would've gotten something closer to the gx manga? I have no idea. Before the whole mechanics as a focus theme was a theme Yugioh had a focus on the occult for its themes. Maybe with its connection to things like space and beings like Yubel later on it could've followed suit with the darker themes of its predecessor, but have a greater "eldritch entity" influence?

Man, I wish they could improve those mechanics. I don't even play physical cards (just DL, yeah I'm a noob) but they should have streamlined it and just add the subtype effect in the rules to declutter the cards. Most already have a consistent subtype mechanic already (except Toons, that one is a mess). That would have made it easier to just buff or nerf them as necessary by updating the master rule.
