Why aren't we given regular bleach classes/factions?

RyokuHasu

When i heard Bleach online game I thought it would be more of a multi facton game with a skill/progression system simular to the 3rd Phantom, the Tactical Role-Playing game.

An average fan would hope that if they chose to be a Shinigami/Soul Reaper that they would start out in the academy for learning the basics, then join a squad afterward. Or if they wanted to be a Hollow/Arancar then they would start in Hueco Mundo learnign the basics then pick which espada to follow. But instead we are given cheap knock-offs of such things, why is that? If you have enough of the creative licenses to make the game and use existing characters, then why are we not given the game in a way that will be more widely recieved? Surely the company must realize they are loosing on the bulk of the target audience.


Any other thoughts on this?

Yeah, but considering it's mainly a clone of UN, I'm not surprised. I just hope we get more events or dailies to do. Would be nice.

Another i want to change the game thread ~many people just dont understand~

No, I understand. People have no sense of identity for a show/franchise. Why do you accept something just because it has the same name and a few characters you know? wouldn't you rather be something that is more grounded in the lore of the show rather than something that is completely made up as something extra? The franchise has plenty of factions, groups, and classes for the players to be and most would rather be those things. They are the minority in the game and forum because they are sensible enough no to play something that is obviously bad and don't care to bother to give the feed back.
Would you play a naruto game where you aren't allowed to be a ninja? Would you play a One Piece game where you aren't allowed to be a priate or a marine?

Just cause the designers think it's a good idea to shoehorn Bleach into this mass produced web-rpg clone doesn't mean it's a good game or that the game play is any good for matching the bleach universe.

This is not official game. It is just a translated copy of Chinese version. Game mechanics and most things will stay the same. I would like a Bleach MMORPG 3D game that you can download in your PC and not to play via browser. A game where you can completely customise your avatar by choosing race, gender, skin color, hair, hair color, height, body type etc. Plus you can choose class for your race. For example:

Races:
Soul Reaper
Hollow
Quincy

Classes:
Stealth (Special class - strong attack, fast but very weak defence),
Assaulter (Attacking class - strong attack, decent speed and decent defence),
Guardian (Tank class - strong defence, slow speed and weak/moderate attack),
Mage/Caster (Buffer/Healing class like Kido corps).

Depending which race you choose, your starting points are for Soul Reapers - Seireitei, for Hollows - Las Noches and for Quincies - Silbern You can explore world, buy outfits, equipments, forge equipment, upgrade skills via skill trees, do quests, raids and dungeons and much more.

Heck, even change things up a bit more. You got me on an 'overthinking it' creative tangent:

• Story could involve the Seireitei losing a massive amount of Soul Reapers after some catastrophic event (after, say, a sudden war or invasion of Hollows/Arrancar, maybe even a Quincy uprising) and all the new players could be part of an emergency effort never employed before that involves a mass recruitment of Substitute Soul Reapers from a list of humans with high spiritual potential that a secret sector of, say, Squad 12 had been monitoring to help save the Seireitei in case of an event such as this. The starting point could be the human world, and possibly even go so far as to allow you to customize your origin. The tricky part I think would be customizing a zanpakuto, shikai appearance and power, bankai appearance and power, etc. Also, one of the options as a Soul Reaper could even be going Visored, and have mask customization somehow. Of course I'd also like to see actual Squad assignment (or choosing to be assigned to one) and your chosen class/specialty effecting the story around you (like being the odd man out in Squad 11 if you're a kido specialist, or perhaps disallowing that from being a thing). I suppose a support class going healer kido specialist would go to 10 and a support going for some sort of crowd control/debuff effect caster would be in 12 and utilize techniques like Mayuri. On that note, perhaps taking on similar traits to iconic members of the different squads could even be a thing, like going the way of Kenpachi and being a brute pinnacle of peerless power and not even go the zanpakuto route.
• The starting point for Hollows could also be the human world, right after your character's death, and you go through the process of turning into a Hollow. A Soul Reaper could even attempt to save your soul, but is abruptly smacked down brutally by an arrancar recruitment officer who found your potential power as a gift they could use to combat the Seireitei. The training process has you progress through the stages of Hollow, like Grimmjow explains in his backstory. The player could choose to go Arrancar or even stay Hollow, perhaps advancing to a new class of Hollow on the same level. Would like to see mask customizatoin and such here, too.
• Quincies... ... I'unno, friggin'... ... stuck up jerks. Quincy resurgence or something, I guess. Suddenly told you're a Quincy, blah blah, shoot arrows, suck in fights, etc. I don't know much about them. Hm, but perhaps Quincies could have... some sort of Civil War after their mass reappearance? Like, some could choose to fight the Soul Reapers in vengeance as their sworn enemies; some could do the same, but instead choose to ally with the Hollow faction players against the Soul Reapers; then, on the opposite end, Quincies that see Hollows as the greater of two evils and ally with the Soul Reapers. Also Quincies can have the fanciest clothes and maybe have some racial passive for sewing and crud because Uryuu, I'unno. Having a 3rd separate faction feels a bit off.
• Maybe somehow throw Fullbringers into the mix? Dunno. Eh.
• Not sure what that would leave us with as far as a neutral safe zone, though.
• Most importantly: totally need customizable theme songs, yo. Not sure how it would work. Make it work. It is completely necessary.
• Goddammit, Nightwolf. Look what you did to me. You just haaaaad to bring up something like this this early in the morning, huh? Wasted my bit of time off before work. This is your fault. Apologize.

I m sorry mate but you must admit that game developers could make a really badass MMORPG Bleach game to look like World of Warcraft (for example). Bleach Universe is huge (story, characters, powers, places etc.) and it could be made into really good 3D MMORPG Stunning 3D graphics, open world, lots of customisations, quests and instances and much more.

Well thought out ideas. I'd play it.

Where is that game? That's the bleach game I want! That's the bleach game every sane fan wants! The goal of this thread was to get people thinking what they really want out of a Bleach MMO, I see it was effective. I completely agree with MisterMusashi, in that sort of game I imagine as a soul reaper you would keep your weapon at all times and it levels with you, where at certain levels you pick out new atributes for you Zanpaktou like it's name, attribute, power type, and look so that you have something close to a unique power that few others have. You would learn Kido from a skill tree in the different kinds of kido each having their own tree.

Personally I want an Ice style Zanpaktou named Tsune Chiyuki (1000 endless snows) with the power to shoot mini blizzards with freezing winds and show. That would be nice and very fun.

The game is pretty simple to be honest, i liked the old Pocket Ninja because you could at-least set a bunch of skilsl for your character to use in battle, otherwise the game seems okay for now, note that its super new and stuff will still be added.
