Thanks for letting us be a resource for you. I appreciate your intent/manner of covering the game and it's good times and bad, without having a demeaning or doomsaying tone. FoW is still here and it's nice to see it being talked about/the word spread about it!

Force of will was such a huge part of my life that it genuinly feels good to see someone talking about it in a positive sense. with the seeming rise in interest the game has gotten recently i can only hope this means more players having access to locals again.

I used to be a diehard player of this game. I made it to worlds twice, even making top 4 in 2015 (you can see me at several points in this video even XD). It was absolutely astounding how suddenly the game died, over here in the UK the game was already small but had a very devoted playerbase but after Reiya cluster it just disappeared. I was one of the players that got fed up and quit around the end of Lapis cluster so between that and the death of the game in the UK it's gonna be really interesting to hear about what happened in the next video Looking forward to it, thanks for taking the time to make a video about a game that at one point meant the world to me

I LOVED Force of Will for the little bit I got to play it back in the day. Mainly played a chtuhlu deck and actually still have it along with some other cards, including the Valkyria Chronicles crossover decks. Unfortunately my locals stopped carrying the game and stopped doing tournaments when the few people who played it quit due to Baha blast. The double wammy of that really bad set and a tier 0 deck killed it in my area. Its cool to see that the game still continues even now but its nothing like what I remember and its still absolutely dead in my area with not one of the 5 or so local game stores nearby supporting it. Funnily enough though the other day after the yugioh tournament wrapped up some of the guys who used to play force of will sat down and to my surprise started playing their old decks for the fun of it. Felt so surreal seeing people play again after all this time.

I just found this video while trying to look up Eiji Shishido's impact on Force of Will. You said part 2 (yet to be released) will focus on him leaving the company. Do players seem to blame him for a lot of the game's early mistakes? Did the game improve after he left? I ask this because he is once again designing a TCG. This time, it's the Ultraman Card Game. The game launches this fall, and I'm beyond excited for it. Just trying to look up more about the designer. Thanks!

I havent' watched this yet, but as someone who was playing from 2016-2018 I started to hate how the game was playing out on top of all the product shortages in Reiya format. Made scary Sherry's deck with the stuff I pulled from boxes, traded my ruler away for an Uber Dark Alice and quit right around Time Spinning Witch's release due to our locals going from small to smaller and I will admit that I got very frustrated/angry when I played FoW so that was a factor as well. They also wanted to play on akward days so ontop of moving locations like 3 times in 3-4 months, they arranged tourneys on day that was more convenient for one particular local who I was not a fan of and that got on our nerves even more so. Game was fun and before the hostile takeover of the company I might have played a little longer, but I deal with Konami's bullshit already and I did not want a smaller card game yanking my chain even more so. Shame since I always thought it was just MtG but with better art.

Interesting vid. Also, kept help but keep hearing you say "REFRACT and refrain" 🤔 Watched the entire video, you're definitely right, one video won't be able to cover it all, I'd be surprised if two videos could do it justice. I was kinda hoping for more......variety of sources to pull from regarding the "history" of fow. As the video progress, it seemed to just be ruler school providing all the info. Would have loved some input from maybe lgs owners, former employees (But I get it, it's still a small tcg, Japanese company so prob language barrier, etc, etc). Nonetheless, it is great that KZbinrs such as yourself are talking about this game, can't wait for part 2.

Wow way to miss all of the hard work I put into the video. I pulled an insane amount of interviews with the creators. An insane amount of interviews with former players and I pulled quite a few deck profiles from former champions. I also found as much info from the distributors as they would legally give me. I didn't put every quote into the video because then the video would literally just be quotes. But I guess for someone without object permeance like yourself, that might be hard to understand.

@@MonkeyFightTCG He is primarily mentioning the pull quotes. DM073 is a good source for the impact of elements into the game, but I can see what Poke wants being a mix of contemporary accounts and retrospective accounts in the video. I am curious if you have gotten in contact with Jeff Finnegan yet? he is very approachable and is like the only English speaking person who was party to the internal takeover; time and the birth of his kid has softened his angst about it though he might be strapped for time; caring for a young child and all. I would be hard to fit this in or find a good one but a quote from a guy who left at a particular controversy explaining the feelings that he and his group had at the moment of leaving the door would be interesting. TL;DR: it is a shame we don't write letters anymore so that future Ken Burns can read to elaborate on the elation, dread, and moments of confusion of being in the FoW fanbase. Ironically despite it being unsupported cluster format is where it is at for me, constant new game experiences balanced against each other set to set.

Funny enough, Reflect/Refrain just recently got rereleased as tag rulers in the past set, and they feel like an "ascended" version of the old reflect and refrain, but much better designed to feel more balanced/focused on their own gameplay archtype rather than just "insert generic good ruler here." It was a nice way to revisit the characters without causing the same issues as their first appearance!

@Ruler School TCG the fact Blazer, a Jruler specifically designed to counter Jruler strategies, could be blanked because they could respond by flipping back to the Ruler side was so dumb. Pre errata when they charged 2x as fast because they could activate ruler side on the opponents turn and your turn was even more nutty. The only local i ever won was with a raid boss Pricia, Beast Queen in Hiding deck that could only function because R&R could just fetch the combo pieces i needed which were all 1 ofs

I've still got my force of Will stuffs. Its really interesting how a company can destroy itself. What truly killed the FoW TCG was the Valhalla format and the attempt to do many things all at once and it was too much to keep up with. Also, the community was really toxic on a level that warranted many to even go to magic or pokemon and considering how toxic those fanbases and communities are, you know it was very toxic. Its so unnecessary to make a game so un-fun for people. Why are people trying so hard to make the game unbearable?

I watched the game completely die in real time at my locals and it was heart breaking, the t.o. at my shop even kept giving me the FoW promos for the next year til they finally stopped getting product entirely.

hello. nice video. Some thoughts: 1- This was a long video. Consider adding an interlude to your scrips. Listening the same tone of voice for such a long period of time can make one lose concentration. 2- Other important thing the video is missing is a strong summanry of it´s content. Dont just make a record of events. Go into more detail, compare things and present your thoughts on the subject. 3- They wanted to make the game casual but without a ceiling for power? that rings like a contradiction to me. The story seems to agree with me. 4- So long story short the game was a total mess almost from the start? having design, destribution and diection problems? yet has been kept on life support for a long time thanks to some loyal fans? 5- can anyone report the state of the game in your country? 6- Looking forward for part 2.

This card game may be popular but without 'digital version' (PC for example) it can't match popularity of other Card Games like Magic the Gathering.

The problem with force of will tcg design is that unlike magic which has a mana system to curb power creep there is nothing in force of will that can stop powercreep cards from ruining the game in the future

@@MonkeyFightTCG Force of will has a fix mana system that lets players get mana every turn so playing power creep cards aren't a issue in FOW compare to magic you can say Magic's inconsistent mana system is a necessary evil for making game balance

The power creep in this game is stupid. So many low cost overloaded cards that really should be banned. I can't even read the text anymore so it sucks. I tried it hoping it wouldn't be what MtG is now and its worse. Just watch some of the tourneys...people get one turn and dead with little to no interaction. Can't get behind the competitive version of the game but I like the older stuff definitely before they fired the creator and started paywalling the game behind preorders and the 'contract' version of the judgement mechanic.

it isn't "technically" dead, but its dead. Just let them have this win. 😉 I was there for the Grimm cluster. @RulerSchoolTCG would get upwards of 6k to 15k views per video, now he gets what, 300 average per video? Of course he would say it isn't dead. His channel lives for FOW. The biggest Facebook FOW group then, now gets an average of 5 posts a month. 5 POSTS A MONTH!!! It isn't technically dead, but it isn't growing either. It is bleeding to death...to deny that is simply fanboying at this point.
