It's quite rare to see Sakura Wars fans in the English world for me, but it's a great thing to see this video, very informative to possible new fans! Um, by the way, sorry this might look like an ad, but I used AI software to turn most of cutscenes of Sakura Wars into 1080p HD, some also interpolated to 60fps. Might be nice for nostalgic old fans to watch. kzitem.infoplaylists

12:21 I actually liked the fact that they refined the silence mechanic in Sakura Taisen 5 where in some cases, not saying anything was the correct option which meant you had 4 choices even though only 3 appeared at the screen. Also the fact that when you had to gauge how much force you put into actions like talking/shouting or fighting, there weren't just a Whispering/Shouting choices but also many more options if you properly gauged the cursor. One of the most memorable being when you can either block or dodge a sword attack in a cutscene and if you gauge correctly you can actually catch the blade.

The original Sakura Wars franchise was a huge hit in China back in the days (I'm Chinese). We were all blown away by the character-driven plot, the anime like gameplay, and the amazing casts. I used to think Western players would find the game boring, as the games were basically dating sims and the fighting part was not exciting. So glad I was wrong.

Sega is sitting on money with this franchise due to a small cult following in the west ready to explode like with Yakuza i bet and it is was a huge property during the dreamcast days and there over 20 years ago they should rerelease all of the games on modern consoles so its not a pain in the ass to preserve classics unknown to most of the world.

Great review! I was always puzzled by how this franchise took that long to get a new entry, considering it was one of SEGA's most well known, profitable IPs in Japan (same for Virtua Fighter, which I hope will receive a new game soon too). They only decided to make a new Sakura Wars after a survey with Japanese players a few years ago asking which franchise they'd like to have a come back, in which Sakura Wars got first place by a large margin.

I accidentally discovered this series while looking for puzzle games to play in the early 2000s. I saw a game called "Hanagumi Taisen Columns" for MAME and thought. "Columns? Loved it on the Sega Genesis, is this similar?" Turned out to be one of the most brutally DIFFICULT puzzle games I'd ever played. I managed to beat it a time or two.... on easy. Later on, I saw a few images on a forum and the characters looked oddly familiar and asked the person about them and got the name of the main series. Some years later, I saw Sakura Wars, So Long My Love for Wii on a shelf at Gamestop and thought, "Sakura wars? WAIT, hold on." I snapped up a copy of the game and played it through multiple times to get all the endings. It had a perfect balance of humor, seriousness, and I've always loved mechs. At some point, I wound up with an unsealed copy of the game which is still sealed to this day. I've been thinking about getting a second copy of the new Sakura Wars so I can have an unsealed copy of it as well.

The New Sakura Wars was a flop. Sega made a number of poor decisions that have doom the series beyond saving. For instance, the 3D character models look unnatural and the action combat completely ruins the core concept of the game - building relationships and teamwork. Oh hell even a gacha game like Genshin Impact is better on this regard as you can switch between 4 party members instead of one and you get to play with different elemental combos so teamwork is meaningful.
