So much this.Please stop making Anime into arena fighting games. HxH has a amazing world building and it’d fit so much better as an RPG.
Well, I was gonna watch the trailer, hoping it was an action adventure or rpg. Saw this comment, so I’ll pass on the trailer . Such a disappointment. Of all anime, hunter X is one that is most primed for an epic adventure. Oh well. I wish Sony would gobble up actual IP ownership for more anime as opposed to mostly distribution. They have some teams that could really do some anime games justice.So much this.
Make an adventure, an rpg, anything else really.
I think this was rumoured a few weeks back to be a legitimate 3v3 fighter like MvC etc. I'd happily take that any day over an arena fighter.Please stop making Anime into arena fighting games. HxH has a amazing world building and it’d fit so much better as an RPG.
Where did you see that this is a Powerstone clone? That's huge for me, if true.The fuck is this? I thought it was going to be a new series. Ah, well. Powerstone Clone is a +
I'm cautiously excited(already knew this was rumored). I really hope it's not an arena fighter(currently betting that it is not). 8ing is pretty cool. HxH is probably my favorite shonen ever even though it's not even finished. I do feel for those who would want an rpg type game in that universe, that would be cool too.
The crazy thing is that HxH has an entire arc on an island that is built for it’s own RPG video game experience.Well, I was gonna watch the trailer, hoping it was an action adventure or rpg.

I'm currently rewatching Hunter X Hunter (2011)......But good anime doesn't alway make good game.

Unfortunately its very rare licence anime games being good, even they do make RPG or action adventure game it follow same set up as their movie versions and be nothing more than side story that doesn't really advance the main plot.Truth.
I fucking love the show, but that game will be trash lol Its like....make a damn open world RPG about fighting and them going on adventures and I might give a fuck.
The concept of a lot of those fight shows is usually about some fighter building their skills, getting stronger, meeting new friends, going to different places and fighting some new bad guy. For that concept to translate to game, it must be some type of RPG where they are going from location to location.
They are not beating Tekken, no one here thinks that shit will be better then Smash Bros annnnnnd they need to stop doing this crap lol Those anime fighting games 99.9% of the time suck.

I would have loved one day we get really good One Piece game that about going open sea and exploring.
Watch HxH 1999. 2011 is god awful.What's the appeal of HxH?
Yu Yu Hakkusho is the superior anime and deserves another game
Truth.

What do you mean? Behold the power of modern anime!Watch HxH 1999. 2011 is god awful.
The game in motion looks bad but in screen shots looks like a GC era game in a good way.
That's actually my favourite scene in the whole series (99) was thinking about it yesterday. 2011 aired on Saturday mornings as a children's show until they Chimera Ant aired then it was on at 9pm I think. They rushed the show to get to Chimera Ant.What do you mean? Behold the power of modern anime!
I agree that the vibe and atmosphere is better in the old show but the bad filler in it, bad VA performances, and not covering the other arcs obviously make it much worse.What do you mean? Behold the power of modern anime!
tons of text and the willingness of the author to make something different (albeit not always better) makes readers feel smartWhat's the appeal of HxH?

That's a nice opinion. Which Youtuber gave it to you?I agree that the vibe and atmosphere is better in the old show but the bad filler in it, bad VA performances, and not covering the other arcs obviously make it much worse.
Lol im 32 im probably older than you haha so Im not from the generation that only percieves things through others, that said I tried to watch the 1998 version after the 2011 version just to see what I was missing since I often prefer the style of older anime in tone and gritty artstle. The VA work of the dub was pretty bad but I did like the slightly deeper sound of Kurapikas voice since I think it fits him better.That's a nice opinion. Which Youtuber gave it to you?

partial jokes aside, it's a good series, but i also find it immensely overrated in many aspects
yyh starts as the most boring and banale shonen you will ever read, but has what's likely the best tournament arc in any manga....never read the last saga though

I'm 33. I watched 1999 and thought it was bad and I was a 16 year old moron at the time then 2011 came out and that was like... Way worse. 2011 is just a product to be consumed with no real love or passion in it, yeah more prolific seiyuu are included but whatever. I'd rather have Naruto's seiyuu for Gon than a Nepo baby debuting. Rewatching HxH 1999 during COVID and being more well versed in Japanese media I was enthralled and amazed at the quality. I don't do top 10 lists but I rate 99 EXTREMELY highly, I'd give HxH 2011 5/10 at best, if I want the manga content I'll just read it.Lol im 32 im probably older than you haha so Im not from the generation that only percieves things through others, that said I tried to watch the 1998 version after the 2011 version just to see what I was missing since I often prefer the style of older anime in tone and gritty artstle.

The one thing thats crazy they cut in 2011 thats in the 1998 version (and why I recommend people watch episode one of 1998 before starting 2011) is the Kite stuff and Gons backstory setup, its so much better in 1998 and pivotal to getting invested in the story, the first time I watched hxh I almost bounced off since the first few episodes of 2011 didnt give me a reason to care and flew at a breakneck speed, luckily I stuck it out and now HxH is my 3rd fav anime (if they ever finish it will probably be #1 but who knows if that will ever happen).
To be honest I prefer the mangas story execution over either version tbh both animes are flawed in some regard. Even if I really enjoyed 2011 cutting the Kite stuff is just batshit. I will agree that the older Anime looks and feels way more gritty/mature than how deadpan clean 2011 can feel at times, I do wish modern anime could return to the older 90's styling in this way but Im afraid its gone for good.I'm 33.

You’ve literally described is my dream game.Looks like another boring arena fighter.
No thx
HXH, specially the second half, has always struck me as a story that would work better as a novel than a manga.
The art isn't particularly strong, it's very text heavy for an action/adventure story and many of the fights (at least in the manga) are like 50% text boxes explaining complicated abilities and what every character is thinking every second.
Yup. It's a shame as many anime have cools worlds that would work great in other genres.
Imagine an RPG based on HXH where you create your own character, you get deep ability customization based on your nen type, there's a cool world to explore and an interesting original story. Even Naruto would be cool as an action RPG with a new character and story.
Or like a Platinum style character action game based on Demon Slayer or Bleach
Instead it's almost all boring arena fighters.
