[@Tempest_M]

Ironically I was just having this kind of discussion with my friend yesterday while we were playing last Recollection. I loved your idea and glad we have a similar point of view on this topic.

[@EpicLifeDog]

Sometimes when I play SAOLR I’m thinking the same thing about a Unital Ring game.

[@EpicLifeDog]

I’d really love to see what they do with mechanics like survival and construction because those aren’t in any of the other SAO games.

[@ark5074]

The idea sounds great and I would love to see that kind of UR game come to fruition. As for who which dev could pull this off, I feel like out of the 3 we know Artdink has the best chance of pulling an idea like this off but I feel like it would be better if someone new came in to give SAO games a try.

[@Gamerturk]

Yeah, when thinking about the overall design, my mind immediately went to Artdink, and it's why I just limited the idea into Semi-Open World, since Artdink is known for their limited map anyways (and I also doubt SAO Games will ever have the budget/scope to have an Open World game anyways).

[@joshvilar2582]

If they do this, I will buy it and then play it.

[@NamelessGamingNG]

This would be an AMAZING game

[@Rnerdy197]

I wouldn't mind a unital ring game if it stayed with just unital ring but if it had underworld story as well the amount of dialogue would probably be insane since there's already way to much dialogue with the games just sticking to one part of the story

[@Gamerturk]

I mean, even in the main canon light novels, it more and more feels like a bad idea to have two parallel storylines ongoing. Which is why Im a fan of just focusing on Unital Ring.

[@twilightwolf6248]

This would be legendary

[@polskistalker]

That sounds really nice, even for someone who's not really familiar or interested in gameverse (like me) Overall great video

[@Tenly2009]

I’ve just finished (for the second time) watching SAO seasons 1, 2, 3 and 5 on Crunchyroll. Is there any more English dubbed SAO content available anywhere else? Where/when will the Inter Intelligence War episodes be available? (Or is it already?)

[@Gamerturk]

There's only 3 seasons, not 5. As for the next arc, check here and do not hold your breath. It's a long way off: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKmXZomnnt2kfpI

[@tanjiro2294]

Do you know which floor is going to be in SAO progressive 3

[@Gamerturk]

The next movie is not even a Progressive movie. If you are talking about the source material, Volume 3 is Floor 4 with the Venice themed main town of Rovia.

[@commandermaverick1487]

7:30 I feel like I want press to laugh to do a what if on this 9:37 say what?!

[@Dar-oi3tw]

I like your video and agree with almost everything you have said. The one thing I disagree with is that I think they should have some basic survival game mechanics such as resource management. The reason why I say this, is because Unital Ring is a survival mmo rpg game and it reminds me of some other games such as The Forest, Ark: Survival Evolved, and of course the GOAT, Minecraft. It is because of those similarities that I believe players should have some survival mechanics. I will say however, that they should not go overboard on that since these three other games take tens of hours to complete, and in the case of Ark hundreds of hours.

[@Gamerturk]

If they can flesh out the mechanics and make them actually meaningful, rather than constant roadblocks that only annoy you, then sure. The problem is that even in the light novels, the survival aspect is a massive afterthought that barely factors into the story and the truth is... Do we really need to "drink water" every couple minutes? Would that add anything to the game at all? I think focusing on the action side as usual is clearly the better way to approach the fun vs chore balance.

[@Dar-oi3tw]

@@Gamerturk Agreed and I don't like the idea of a water or food mechanic either. Is it faithful to the source material, yes. But it is ultimately unnecessary like it is in most survival games other then to be a road block. Except for Minecraft since it is a way to regain health faster as well. Really, I was focusing mostly on resources since I am the type of player that likes to build things with resources that I find throughout the world.

[@MinhLe19303]

I'm more convinced that the game won't use unknown territory like Unital Ring, so the devs will make a new setting or using old settings while bringing UR elements and characters and loosely adapt them to the new game without breaking the canon too much. Not only that, Last Recollection and Gameverse Alicization arc in general didn't resolved or flesh out all plot threads, both from main canon or original from Gameverse and especially Moon Cradle. I think making a Moon Cradle-based game is a safer option to go all-out with originality due to how much LR ending diverged from the canon.

[@Gamerturk]

I don't think it's a good idea to have _yet another_ Alicization game back to back to back.

[@MajorWolf1337]

I think it would be funny if the MC and partner were the game verse version of the MC and koharu from SAOIF, lol.

[@Gamerturk]

That is all I want really! As I said in the video, I really don't want another case of FBMC...

[@Unknownplayer31305]

What if in this supposed Unital ring game you play as the protagonist from Integral factor with your partner being koharu? It would be a neat way to introduce the Integral factor cast of original characters into the gameverse continuity... oh wait that would just add more characters to the already overbloated cast of the gameverse, and would probably have people asking where all those characters were during the events of last recollection. So nevermind

[@Gamerturk]

That'd kinda the same problem as "Would you want to bring Mito to the Light Novels?". Sure, it is possible, but without the past, are they even the same character?

[@thesib3053]

Personally I'd prefer just a completely new game without any tie in to the anime or game canon cast altogether (maybe a game set in Asuka Empire, or just in ALO while Kirito and co are busy with the Alicization stuff so they aren't around) but this isn't a bad premise either. While this could work as a solid game, I do have a few of my own personal changes I would make to the scenario though. 1. Have the MC and characters not be involved with Kirito's group. At the very least, your idea doesn't seem to do Fatal Bullet's thing of shoving them into relevancy, but I'd still like to play through a story where we aren't just partying with them and instead get to focus around a new cast. Could also be a cool way to give us boss fights against some of them since the factions are in competition with each other. 2. This is more my inner Persona fan speaking than anything, but rather than a single partner character, I think it'd better to have a group of characters that team up with the OC. This group of potential partners could change depending on your origin game. Perhaps start with just a single one, but over time you get more people you can party with as the story progresses. You can then deepen your bonds with each of them and learn more about them, similar to the special talks the Fatal Bullet MC had with characters as you raised affinity. Towards the end, you can pick one to be your "true partner", be it romantically or just a best friend. I like having options for that sort of thing. 3. This builds off my first idea, but since avatars can end up being fairly different between certain VRMMOs, your available characters to party with changes based on your origin game. Similar to my idea of the SAO characters being potential boss fights, certain characters from games you don't pick for your origin could also be bosses. At the end of the day though, these are more of a personal preference thing. Sticking with the SAO/gameverse cast and simply having them be there at the side rather than the forefront could still work for the game.

[@Gamerturk]

Being blunt, sadly the main issue with not having the main cast is... Well, they make or break SAO. So we need to have the main cast to a reasonable extent, otherwise it's just not feasible as a project. Recent new SAO Alternative series showed this very well too. Neither Gourmet Seekers nor Mystery Labyrinth made it to the top 15 sales list on their release weeks, so that's just the harsh reality :/ 1) Yup, I heavily dislike how shoved the main series cast was, and particularly, how everyone spoke for you at all times. Even Itsuki, talking about how we forgive him and how that's so us, while I'm screaming and swearing at my screen, wanting to kill the guy. Especially when Integral Factor shows us that we don't need all that much talking to make a good OCMC. 2) To be frank, after a decade of Bed Scenes, I'm more in favor of just a linear, pre-determined canon ship. 3) I did think about that, but I really wanted to keep "variables" to a bare minimum. Unital Ring is a great chance to pit different games against each other, much like how it happens in the main canon, but I do not believe an SAO game will have the scope to manually adjust the entire story based on your origin choice. So I didn't even bring it up, and tried to slide away with "You spawn far away of other players from your origin game" just to side step all of that ^^'

[@kristengrimes7026]

I wonder if Unital Ring will be playable on PS4/PS5?

[@Gamerturk]

Heh, they probably got a long time to decide for that :P

[@dryalga4000]

I would love the idea...but I also see a huge problem in regards to the UWW side of a gameverse UR game. LR ended very differently compared to main canon in regards to the state of Underworld. Gameverse did not have the 200 year hyper acceleration caused by the reactor like main canon, so Underworld would still be medieval/early modern compared to sci-fi in main canon UR. This would also mean that certain characters like our totally-not-Eugeo Char-clone Eolyne would not there due to not being born yet. I haven't actually red UR (waiting for it to be finished so that I can bingeread it), but I feel that the this difference in timeperiod/events in Underworld would make it impossible for a gameverse UR to have events play out sort of similar to what is going to happen in main timeline. Also, didn't the ending of LR basically imply that travel from Seed based games to Underworld is fairly open now so that Underworldians can travel to places like VR Tokyo easily. This would also remove the need for STL's since you can log into Underworld with Amusphere. And I don't think hearing about all the events in Underworld from Kirito without seeing it would make for a good way to tell the player. I'd rather have it then that in the Underwolrd section you take over control of Kirito/Asuna etc. (show don't tell). Also your whole idea with Tia/Premiere would likely fall appart since unless they were in SA:O at the time of the merge, they would have been players for the system just being controlled by AI then a human (something clearly stated to be the case in FB in regards to every AI in the party). P.S. Unless they shoehorn it in, the loghouse wouldn't even exist to begin with since there is no New Aincrad in gameverse ALO and Aincrad in SA:O has no conformed mention of it existing (with being half complete and all).

[@Gamerturk]

The epilogues were not really all that conclusive or explicit, which I imagine was very much on purpose to give them the wiggle room if and when necessary. There were a lot of teasers like how the Synthesis ritual was never used again... "yet". And things about Kayaba still floating around etc. They can easily inject tons more things in between the end of LR and its epilogue. Not mentioning an acceleration phase does not mean it never happened and the like. Wherever Yui goes, she is a system assist item. Also, it's not like the Dark Elves existed in anywhere else but SAO when it comes to the main canon, but they are in UR just fine. It's the Cardinal System and the Seed Nexus, it's an entire database of a connected web. The moment Tia and Premiere are in Unital Ring, Cardinal System or whatever system will be responsible, can simply go "Oh, you guys are the twin goddesses from the Great Separation lore, now come over here!" and do its thing.

[@dryalga4000]

@@Gamerturk pretty sure that FB mentions that Yui (and the other AIs) are diving in using actual accounts, and that Kirito and Asuna have to pay the upkeep for them. I think it is when they introduce the OC/Kureha to the main cast.

[@Gamerturk]

@@dryalga4000 Sure, does not change the argument. Unital Ring is just drawing in lore from all the other games, or if the assumption is correct, from Aincrad/Ainground specifically. Match the lore with the entities themselves, pull them in accordingly.

[@user-xx7kl7sr6i]

They can just explain that SA:O at the time of merging, completely resumed against all odds the process we stopped and it transformed into Aincrad and thus when the merge happens, Aincrad pops up into UR and completely falls from the sky, the loghouse gets ejected from Floor 22 (or was it 27?) and Kirito and the gang find it by pure plot. Without realizing or not being sure if it is the actual loghouse. Also, Fallen Aincrad is 100% going to be used as the 100 floor consecutive dungeon. Similar to the 1000 floors on SA:O.
