Like most of the information coming out about Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization, we've got a lot of new details and screens to share with you today.
The first piece of news is about the new Emotion Void System, a key feature in this latest installment of the series that is used as an in-game communication tool between characters. If this sounds like a system straight from a BioWare game, you wouldn't be the only one. Straight from the developer:
The Emotion Void System is a key feature for in-game communication between characters. With it, each character has its own personality represented by emotions that can be checked in the status menu; and players will have to be careful because these emotions can influence characters’ skills on the battle-field. The more they maintain their bonds with the members of the team, the more efficient they will be during fights. Through this feature, the mystery around Premiere deepens further: at first glance, the girl seems to have no emotion, but once players interact and enter battle with her they will see her emotions develop.
For an idea of what this might look like, another large set of images has been released below:
More miscellaneous details, along with their respective screens, were also shared.
Well-known for selling information to gamers in Sword Art Online, Argo will once again help Kirito and his friends in their adventures in Sword Art Origin’s world. Players will be able to team up with this new character and benefit from her experience to progress in the game. Lastly, new big bosses Abyss the Imperial Taurus and Grand Admiral Taurus will be giving players a hard time, as these two giant Tauruses can team up to become one boss with powerful combo attacks. Players will also face Summon the Fate Dominator, and will have to deal with its unpredictable attacks.
And if this wasn't enough to give your Friday a quick boost, here are some of the screens for the helpful Argo and a special, summonable monster that you can fight to test your skills.
At last, we come to the last batch of screens that are more generic and don't serve to show off any of the systems. Enjoy.
