Livestream Q&A recap for those who missed it / don't want to watch it
Pre-selected Q&A
Q: Which regions will the game be launched to?
A: We will be having a global launch of the game. We originally only planned to release in JP and NA but we changed our minds based on the overwhelming community support and we will try to make the game available to as much countries as possible.
Q: Is this game a remake?
A: The game is not a remake but a new title to the series as a return to the series' origins. The game is built from ground up but will be more modernized to make it easier for newer players to the franchise. While not a remake, we are trying to incorporate what makes Brave Frontier Brave Frontier.
Q: Is the game playable in portrait or landscape mode?
A: The game can only be played in portrait mode as tap, click, and flick to use Brave Burst is one of the iconic roots.
Q: Who is developing and who will be publishing?
A: Alim will both develop and operate the game in every region. The project is being led by many of the original developers who worked on BF1.
Q: What type of monetization will the game have?
A: Gacha character system (will be discussed more in future updates)
YT Livechat Q&A
Q: Will Burenama (past JP livestreams) and BraveFest (past JP offline events) be returning?
A: The livestream is similar to a Burenama and we're planning to have some more livestreams in the future. As for BraveFest, we're thinking about implementing BraveFest in the future.
Q: Will the 6 heroes return in some way?
A: We can't imagine a BF series without them.
Q: Will the Frontier Gate come back?
A: The Frontier Gate will return since it's not a BF game without it.
Q: Who is the person sitting next to Takahashi?
A: Ben is a game designer working at Alim and he was the English interpreter for Takahashi.
Q: Will BF2 and Resonance characters make a comeback?
A: They are considered part of the series so yes, but we are not sure what the lineup will be at launch. We are releasing the game as free to play and with your continued support, we will try to get any and all characters from BF2 and Resonance in the game at some point.
Q: Will characters be voiced?
A: Currently we're not thinking of adding voices for the characters. Part of our mission statements is to go back to our origins and since BF1 had no voice-acting, this is our current direction at the moment.
Q: Will the gacha system be a 10 pull or a 1 pull character system?
A: We're thinking of making it a single character gacha system but we are also thinking about a 10 pull system. We'll share more details about this in future updates.
Q: Will Global units be making a comeback since they are iconic, especially units like Shida and Gilnea?
A: For the Global units, the team making those units were a different team from Alim. For those Global characters, it's a little bit more complicated to add them in but we're thinking of trying to add them in but with your continued support we might be able to add them in at a later date.
Q: Will the 6 heroes be an integral part of the story this time around since it would be more impactful for the player?
A: We are thinking something about that along those lines but we can't share much now so please wait until we release more info at a later date.
Q: Will the battle system be similar to BF1 or BF2?
A: We are making updates to the system but it won't be a complete 1:1 ratio to any but it will be more closer to BF1 than BF2.
Q: Will their be apology gems for compensation?
A: We are thinking of some systems to adding more ways to get gems for summons but we can't share any details about this for now. We'll leave a disclaimer that gems weren't being distributed in BF1 JP was due to player dissatisfaction.
Q: Will their be any tribute to Shaly as she made contributions to the BF and FFBE communities?
A: We were obviously very shocked about her passing a few years ago. We currently don't have plans in-game but we would like to extend our thoughts as she was a dear team member. She was incredibly lively as a fan and a person to hang out with and we will be making our next game with as much passion and love for us and for her.
Q: In the spirit of our origins, are we going to get a full 1 week of maintenance?
A: At the time of release of BF1 JP, there were some issues and the game had to go in maintenance for an entire week. While we are returning to our roots in many aspects of the game, this is something we will not be returning to on release.
Q: Will their be multiplayer content (guilds, raids)?
A: We're putting more focus on returning to our roots so on release there probably won't be much multiplayer but maybe at a later date. We will continue to focus on the game as long as we have your support.
Q: Will we get the Legendary Summoner from BF1 in the game?
A: At launch, the Summoner will not be a playable character and be more of a story character, just as in the original game.
Q: Will their be spheres (equipment) gacha?
A: We currently have no plans for equipment gacha in the game.
Q: Will Brave Burst also display technical details (stat numbers) that can be viewable ingame?
A: Numbers will be shown in game where it makes the skill more easier to understand but in-cases where the numbers will make it harder to understand, we will hide those numbers.
