Vagard needs a new TV series to get the attention of newcomers. Yugioh and Pokémon have done it. I believe in you vangard
The vanguard prices pushed me around the time of grade 4s, and into Warhammer. Warhammer can be more expensive but the thing is once you finish an army you generally don’t need to keep buying to keep it updated, it has its own host of issues but you can 3D print minis but you can’t 3D print cards lol
Vanguard is dead outside Japan. You are better off with mtg or yugioh
I love vanguard and I don’t really have anyone to play it with irl so I was coming Dear Days when it was announced was gonna be their Master Duel, MTG Arena, Pokémon Online. Konami and Wizards were finally able to make a service online game like Pokémon has been having for the longest and I was hoping in order to really compete with the big 3 they would do the same but no instead they decided to just reskin EX into Dear Days because it’s literally the exact same game expect with the new assets and of course new mechanics put in and then won’t ever be updated after it comes out like EX and also have the gal to ask you for DLC that cost the same amount as the overpriced game in some places it cost even more than that. It’s just stupid of them and honestly egotistical of them too to ask the day before Pokémon SV were about to come out to ask for 69.99 when Pokémon is just 59.99.
I want the game to succeed and survive but if Bushi doesn’t pull its head out of its ass it’s going to die. It’s honestly my favorite card game to play and I mainly play and keep up with Yugioh. I been in love with the anime and binged it way before I picked up the game and the only reason I ever actually bought the cards was because I finally found people who played the game and bought the Aichi Sendo Legend deck and it’s still my main deck and I love my Blasters so much. I even pulled the SP and saw it as a sign that it would be my deck forever.
They really gotta fix a lot of things, their releases the power creep problem, the overtrigger. I’m not sure why they decided to add Grade 4 instead of just different versions of the G3 units as Grade 3s so we had more options for the ride lines since I would like more options with that plus just more ride lines in general, I hate Bermuda Triangle because it’s clearly just made to sell cards with cute anime girls on them and so they give them so much support and make them busted, I feel the same for their replacement in D series Lyrical, they have all of this support and a lot of ride lines because it’s the waifu cards while other nations only have like 4-5 different lines. I think they also have to try and fix the anime too, I haven’t watched anything of Will+Dress yet so maybe they have changed it but even tho I did enjoy the anime it clearly didn’t want to be a card game anime, shows like that with the back and forth and seeing all of the units is what gets casual people into liking the game itself and connecting with those units, it’s how I fell in love with Blaster Blade.
I hope this game doesn’t die but with the direction it’s going , Vanguard is gonna end like the other games Bushi have tried to keep going
The backlash on this vid is wild. Some positive notes would have helped but i agree, the state of CFV as a FRANCHISE is in an extremely poor state and to deny is just as bad for the game. Honestly kinda done with the vg community. Its gotten surprisingly toxic and divisive over the years. Its crazy to think the most annoying thing the vg community used to do was spam the "who is your avatar" post. Now its just insufferable arguing that goes in circles while locals shrink and interest dwindles. Dear days launch was such a nail in the coffin. The fact that it has a peak of 1500 players on steam is abyssmal and imo classify it as dead on arrival, but sure people will say the 70 dollar price tag has nothing to do that and berate others for not supporting a predatory product
i thought the game on the switch was ok but i would prefer it they did the series with the clans not nations, on the phone game i wish they made it more like the anime rules, personally i love the card game and the anime but i wish they would send more video games to the us, this is just like what happened to future card buddyfight!!
i can even find Vangard cards and other card games at any store i go to that is not online, expect Pokémon and magic.
Honestly Bushiroad could fix most of the issues with the game if it just distributed snd sold more product.
Should’ve kept buddyfight
Vanguard really Need a simulator like master duel but i know It's difficult to do
Dear Days had so much potential but they wasted it and now the game currently has 578 playing on steam atm and it's only been a week since the game released, self sabotage is real Sadge.
I think the reason why the price is different in different countries is because of the value of the currency.
I still have my shitty OG Dragon Overlord deck but haven't played in years
After playing Cardfight Vanguard Dear Days… I'm struggling to understand the constant changes. Grade 4 used to have their own spot, right where "Order" cards go. Honestly I hate the entire concept of "Order" cards, it's like spells and traps from other card games. And I liked Cardfight Vanguard for being different, unique, and "order" cards ruins that. Ride deck is a positive change though. And I have all kinds of mixed feelings about "Over" trigger… Don't get me started with Vanguard Zero
What can be done to help Cardfight Vanguard, especially V-Premium?
Happy to say I started on overdress and I’m here to stay. Vanguard has it issues but it still blows my mind Away how many people still play Yu-Gi-Oh over this game for example when the game is a 1-2 turn max with decks costing 500-800$….can you do a meta tier list soon <3
Let this sink in wiess schwarz is more balanced and doing better than Thier main game
they're trying their darnest to kill Vanguard with deardays release
Curious question: why did you change the video from Cardfight Vanguard is dying, to Cardfight Vanguard is Struggling? I understand the points you raised, but the two terms put it in vastly different contexts and I wanted to ask for clarification
Its not the overtriggers thats ruining the game, thats just most of you listening to popular vg tubers that hate the random factor that the game has had since day 1, blame the horrible slice of life anime that doesn't have a great storyline(how are they supposed to appeal to new player if the story is shit? they barely play the game in the anime) ,blame the fact that tcg player has removed vanguard from the side bar and replaced it with digimon, blame the fact that the dear days doesn't have premium cards(bushiroad basically got rid of the older player who were probably the ones keeping the game alive since day 1) I m sorry as much I love the game , the game really is dying
When I first stumbled upon Vanguard I noticed that there were a lot of red flags
And while some have been addressed in Overdress,
The supply issues have only gotten more problematic
Meaning that for me there's no way to get into the game even if I wanted to,
Because the stores that supported it no longer buy new Vanguard products,
Because they end up collecting dust in the storage.
Just played vanguard dears day demo , then learned that that its standard only, So disappointed no great nature clan.
