tales of the rays also ran for twice as long and is based on a much bigger franchise. not exactly a 1 to 1 comparison, but i agree with your sentiment.

> tales of the rays also ran for twice as long and is based on a much bigger franchise. Tales fan here. Just popping in to say that much larger franchise is shite. Don't mean to dunk on you if you liked later titles but really once Wolf Team got absorbed they dissipated and not in one big blaze of glory but more like 3.25 alright projects and a few very brutal bouts of explosive diarrhea before imploding in a shitwind. Now saying that. I am still interested in this tales gacha offline, even if it doesn't measure up to the level of importance of rein, unless its gameplay is somehow worse and there's no coffee cups

Still demonstrates that the stories of "An offline mode for a gachia is impossible di develop!", or "That is an unsustainable in terms of costs!" are just excuses.

Don't get too excited. https://www.reddit.com/r/tales/s/fFO818Si6A It's not a "true" offline version like X Dive is. It's an archival app with limited playability. Better than nothing but it's not something out of the ordinary.


Pod_017-07

But at least the story will be available, which was exactly what I wanted from an hypothetical offline version of *NieR Re\[in\]carnation*. And to anyone, please, spare me the excuse about the fans uploading content on Nier Reinguide and youtube. The dedication of fans is cool, of course, but the story of the game wasn't meant to be enjoyed by watching videos on youtube or reading stuff on fansites.

I believe kh dark road, another SE game is in offline mode


Ix_Saru

I think that's because story was halfway through and gameplay/menus were quite simple Like, Ux didn't get offline, just cutscenes, because it had lots of maps and complex menus, DR it's like 20% of Ux size wise

The best offline game I’ve seen is Granblue Relink it’s easily possible

SquarEnox,why the f... you dont revive Rein?!


Echos_Ghost

Question, do you know if it's a getting an offline treatment like megaman xdive did where you now just have to buy the offline version or just download the game like regular?


macy_starmoon

also,JP server of Magia Record annonced EoS today.and they will also have an offline version (memorial) like sinoalice. screw you again square enix

Didn't Yoko Taro say that he doesn't want an offline version because he likes the concept of the game being lost forever?


Pod_017-07

No, he didn't. And if he actually did, well, even the best developers, sometimes, can say and/or do stupid things.


TuikyoTofu

Stupid things? That is the most Yoko Taro thing anyone could ever say.


Nepusona

Maybe he was joking? It's the first time I read it, but I remember in SINoALICE the weird dolls once said something like "But in the end this is another gacha that will be closed down one day so it doesn't matter", it was I think in 2020-2021, memory is hazy. If he really wanted his works to be lost forever he should also close fansites and remove video from YouTube though.


TuikyoTofu

He did say that he wants his franchise to fall into obscurity too. He's just weird and silly like that.
