This was the first of many project videos that I have worked on! It was a blast to work on this video and I had a great time spending 40+ hours working on the video (pre-production all the way to post-production).
There is a directors cut and one bit that was replaced.

[@gorgefood9867]

You're gonna run out of things to spend oil on anyway. When you first start you'll spend it on leveling your 2 main fleets to 100 so you have ships strong enough for events, but that shouldn't take more than 2 weeks of casual play if you use the passive exp from dorm and the 10 exp comission that cost 1000 or so oil. Then you don't really "need" to level any ship immediately anymore, so your oil is basically there just to grind weapon blueprints or drop only ships. For weapon blueprints, you'll probably only need to grind a your first starting sets of items for a month. Then anymore is just extra. And you can basically casually do the daily that gives you weapon boxes and spam those for items instead of having to grind.

@@Hawk2zer0 It's not really though, the mission names may be based on it. But the story is just wacky and due to shitty translation kinda impossible to follow.

[@Hawk2zer0]

@@DieKao The connection I made with Midway... IJN lost Hiryuu, Souryuu, Kaga, and Akagi...so the boss battles made sense to me there. I do agree with you about the weird time travel and alternate realities.

[@LithKast]

The story essentially is that the 4 factions were allies and then the sirens came. the Eagles and the Royals fought against the sirens and the Sakura nation / Ironbloods sided with the sirens. Azur Lane is the faction with the Eagles and the Royals while the Crimson Axis is the Sakura nation and the Ironbloods. Essentially the Sirens want to force their own evolution so they are setting ships against each other then forcing them to go back and do it again and again and again. I'm sure I'm off on some points but thats the gist of it from what I understand. Here is a headcanon story for you. Evil Sirens want to keep your waifus from you. Defend your waifus from all that will try to separate you.

As someone who plays the game mostly casually(Just doing dailies and summon 3 ships/day) i have to say that this is EASILY the most player friendly gacha games(And trust me i played tons of them like Brave Souls, Dokkan, DB Legends, Naruto, SmT Dx2, Girls Frontline etc). I mean i've been playing the game for about 3 months now and not ONCE i felt like i'm starving for cubes. Currently i'm sitting at 76 cubes(All from Dailies and Commissions) and 1100 diamonds and while Diamonds are actually very rare(Apparently you can get them via commissions but i haven't seen such commission that would reward me with them even once) but i'm okay with not having THAT many of them because they are used mostly for just cosmetics which are just that. Optional Cosmetics. And Oil...funny thing. As i mentioned already i've been playing the game for 3 months and not once i collected it from the merchant. This might be because i'm not playing THIS much but it feels liek the game constantly throws both oil and coins at you so it's all good there. Overall AL is what happens when a game is developed by passionate people who just wanted to make a silly waifu game and make a some money on the side rather than a company that develops it JUST to make money.

[@Hawk2zer0]

Regardless, this was a fantastic video. Nice work man! (And early congrats on that 1k)

[@apophisstr6719]

The main story is basically a "replay" of the Pacific War (and Battle of Denmark Strait in the tutorial) Though, all the significant parts of the plots (original stories related to the Siren and other bits of the ww2 - Operation Torch for example) are in the events instead of in the campaign mode. Currently the dev is working on the story lines after Battle of Midway - World 3 (Right now there are only reference on which battle they took place in the title, but no actual story)

I know it's too late to say it but the story is a game version of WWII. the 1-1 to 1-4 is the story about the begining of WWII in the pacific where Japan bombed the hell out of Pearl Harbor, 2-1 to 2-4 is the chain of important events before the battle of Midway. 3-1 to 3-4 is the battle of Midway it self. The 4-1 to 4-4 is the battle of Guadalcanal if I am right (there is no Dialog so I can't be sure. If Hiei or Laffey had a line there it might have been different but having Furutaka and Aoba as boss there indicates this since Aoba was wreck by USN forces and Furutaka had to sacrifice for Aoba to limp away to safety. I haven't gone to 5-1 yet though so I don't know.

When you go to play a game but end up getting history lessons about hundreds of ships in the process. Yes every non cross over ship girl is based on a historic ship. The sinking of Hood by Bismark did happen. Yorktown's health restore ability fits well with the fact that Japan thought they had sunk her at the Battle of Coral sea then were surprised much to their dismay to see her at Midway. Only a matter of time until USS Johnston (the little destroyer that could), Yamato(bigger does nto always result in better results), Iowa(Think Hood but faster and more accurate while actually being classified as a battleship instead of Battlecruiser) and Missouri(just sign the surrender already) are added. If they want to go into theoretical stuff they could add a Montana class which would have rivaled the size of the Yamato class. They were susspended for Iowa class battleships and Essex Aircraft carriers and the nlater canceled.

[@logisticssupervisor4461]

The story is actually reimagine of WWII just from Azure Lane perspective if your wondering what the story is about.

[@MrHaus-ih3nn]

and her sister ping hai, theres 2 french ships, dunquerke and charles martel, iirc

[@fatfishwen2332]

I know it would be a little bit too late for this reply... There are 7 Chinese ships: Ping Hai, Ning Hai, Yi Xian (all CLs) and 4 DDs. For Chinese and Japanese servers at least - in Taiwan they didn't have the 4 DDs because they are PRC ships and well you know that could go ugly in Taiwan... For Europe, they now have two French factions (one based on Allied and one based on the Germany-controlled), one Italy faction and added battleships for North Union (Soviet Russia). Now these factions all have their events and story lines (except China because the weak navy force we had) but currently they are still not as "major" as the four mentioned - for instance they didn't have the buff-cats or faction research (don't know how they are called in US server). I guess Yostar will introduce those in the future. However, all these factions have some powerful ships. Even for China faction, if you put those three CLs as your vanguard against Sakura Empire's ships, they are extremly useful. China didn't really have a strong navy around or even after WW2 so I guess that would be all we can get - unless they want to introduce some morden ships as well. Now I think they are introducing another faction to hold those "corrupted" ships, like the corrupted Enterprise and Takao, in the third anniversary. This is going to be fun.

Ok this game is pretty ok, although i really hate anime-related things. But how do commisions work? How do,you complete them And what do auxillaries do exactly? And does the affinity go up automatically as you play?

[@Hawk2zer0]

Let me answer each of these: 1) how do commissions work? Commissions are time-based quests. After filling the commission roster with ships that meet the requirements (certain number of ships, level, and ship type) you can begin the commission. Note that you won't have access to those ships until the commission is over. After the time hits 0 (it's completed by just waiting), you get the items on the left side and maybe the items with chance to receive. 2) What do auxillary equips do? These are just additional equips you can use to boost your ship's stats. Some are better on certain ships than others, but it mostly comes down to how you want to augment the ship. 3) does affection go up automatically as you play? No...well kinda. The secretary ship (ship on your main menu) gains affection over time. Otherwise, the ships you use in battle gain affection IF their mood is good (the green square when you view them in docks). Each battle in the mission grants a small boost to affection (.0625 for each victory and 0.125 for each mvp) Hope this helps!

It is nice that the game is very good at communicating what you can get as well as where certain characters are (collections). Makes the grind for them easier...since you don't even need to pull up a guide for where they are.

[@Hawk2zer0]

Yes...welcome to combat footage I recorded around lvl 40 when I had no understanding about importance of item equips. That's not a problem now!

[@wolfsruhm]

@@Hawk2zer0 well at least you learned from your mistakes, but rest asured, there are still players around who don't seem to grasp the way this skill works

[@doriansookochoff9768]

Hey Hawk! You managed to get shown on the Twitter of Azur Lane. :D Thanks to that, I got to see this (I missed the reddit thread). Awesome stuff. Also, have a new subscriber!

[@Hawk2zer0]

Glad you enjoyed! See you around!

>Free to play browser games I too, have lost millions playing the Market of Loathing :{ 3:50 clearly those are their extra armoured anti-torpedo belts, perv! Will definitely be trying this out thanks to this KZbin rec spam, because _waifu permadeath_ should be a no-no! (You know which I mean...) Also in that category: Langrisser (may remember it as "Warsong" back on the Genesis), which is an absolute pisser due to so many EX bosses having *INSTANT KILLS* (Massive AoE where the target unit loses 110% HP at the epicenter) The special events are basically like a second gacha gamble, with your own waifus as the currency! But if you don't participate there's absolutely no way to unlock Calais (the immortal Team Mom in every game), Lushiris (the goddess), or the guest characters from other SRPGs like Shining Force, harsh. Guys, just because Taito and Psikyo are putting shooters on mobile doesn't mean we need to make everything munch quarters like a real arcade! It *is* kind of funny conceptually, though... LoL having to literally offer up waifus like a blood sacrifice chasing the two Ultimates "I'm sorry Chris, but you innocent schoolgirl types are just so plentiful these days. I need you to go first so I can trade up to something rarer!" "Nooooo master, nooooo!" {KABOOM} "Alright girls, we have ten turns until he's reloaded, let's maul his ass!" And then there's that one time you traded multiple waifus away for some smelly rat guy shiningforcecentral.com/content/artwork/files/sf2/sf2_book_slade.jpg who increases post quest drops so you can trade away even more... To expend on the next event. Funny, I always thought he looked like a slaver in the original, now he practically is! "Hey boss, trade me your hottest waifus and I promise you'll receive more back, with interest, at a later date! Think of it like a *banking* transaction... [Happy merchanting intensifies]"

[@hatosan5565]

@@Hawk2zer0 she also have Retrofit,and tier 0 Light cruiser with Monster AA and skill ....no joke

[@Hawk2zer0]

My Sandy is going to enjoy that (she's max level so I will need to just have the resources)

[@kono_ryu]

Hawk2zer0 you said you were gonna explain why Sandy is the “highest tier ship in the game” The reason being her retrofit. It’s Tier 0, literally the highest in the game

[@Hawk2zer0]

@@kono_ryu currently the EN version doesn't have her retrofit...so she's not capable of the glorious Tier 0 rating... I will enjoy that day though...my Sandy needs to get stronger!

[@spanishempire7766]

I feel they should add a male to the game and it should be USS Texas Texas personality would be the humble soft spoken southern person and will play nice until pushed to far and will not haste to to put you six feet under He would wear the Texas ranger uniform White cowboy hat Slacks and his signature cowboy boots

[@zuriel8958]

Finally starting to get into Azur Lane more and I feel as if this is a fair review for this game. But if there is one thing that this video has taught me thats the most important feature of the game...is that I can use Bulins in the vanguard slots. Top Tier ships 👌

[@Hawk2zer0]

That...is a dangerously powerful vanguard....

The merchant is simple: its serves you, the commander, it's for the humans who visit the academy they buy common goods, souveneirs, or whatever salvage comes from the ocean in exchange for gold that you use to fund your military exploits. As for the plot I am incredibly angry for a good reason that I want to nuke the Sirens as much as we nuked Sakura Empire, and the makes Sakura Empire and Ironblood Inc. tame. Belfast is a very good ship though. Give her the belfast gun (3ple gold HE) a maxed out burn order and smokescreen and watch in sadistic joy as late game bosses get a taste of their DoT medicine.

[@Hawk2zer0]

Excuse me while I go find the person responsible for allowing civilians into a military base...

[@Quadrolithium]

@@Hawk2zer0 you know how animes work when it comes to their military: they don't, the worst of all comes from Heavy Object who's even advertising their military (not PMC, but the real military) has their own mall, their own tv show (news, showbiz, and game show to boot), and souveneirs. Hence the trope: mildly military was created
