The brand-new format [Standard] and [Eternal] are in the countdown of a few months to its release.
In the second [Battle Spirits Shin Kaihou Project Presentation Report], we introduced the new card designs according to players' opinions, a brand-new world view and the new cards scheduled for release.
Also, new products and events information for [Standard] and [Eternal] are announced.
We will provide a detailed explanation of the rich content published as flows.
Report fromthe previous presentation
Regarding Card Design
Standard card design confirmed!
There is not much changes for the design from [Standard Demo Session], using black color as the base design to maintain the image of Battle Spirits. At the same time, we also did some more adjustments according to feedbacks, making cards more recognizable.
Firstly, it is regarding the [Card Type Label] for spirit cards, magic card and nexus card etc. As we received feedbacks that the card type was difficult to differentiate, we decided to move the card type label from the bottom of the card to the below the cost icon. As such, the card type can be differentiated when you open up your hand.
Next will be the [Shin Kaihou Label]. To align with the return of Lv2, we adjusted the design to be closer to the Lv1 icon. We have made it easier to understand the conditions like [A designated number of cores] or [When there is a soul core].
The next point is regarding the EX Symbol. We retained the characteristics of [Special gold trimmed symbol at the bottom right corner]. In addition to this, we also included similar design at the top left cost icon for cards with EX Symbol.
Similar to card type, we can differentiate the EX Symbol-cards by checking the top left corner.
Also, regarding the card's color label, apart from filling color representation the card around the cost, we added a label at the bottom of the card, making it easier to differentiate the color.
The above-mentioned change is also applied to nexus and magic card. Please look forward to it.
Next, [Soul Magic Card] that is introduced in [Standard], will have its cost in gold color and the card's text box is changed to a single color of the card in order to differentiate the card.
Regarding Standard World View
We have revealed some of the card illustrations for Standard, and I'm sure many of you have noticed that some of the Spirits have a slightly different look than before. This time, in order to completely refresh the world of Battle Spirits, including the Spirit designs, illustrator Toy(e) was in charge of creating the world view and Spirit settings, as well as flavor text for Standard.
While preserving the world view of Battle Spirits so far, I believe a new world of Battle Spirits will be expressed, so I hope you will be looking forward to it.
We have received a comment from Toy(e), which we would like to share with you.
I am Toy(e), in charge of creating the world view of Battle Spirits.
In this world with a new battlefield for the spirits, we retained battle spirit's characteristics and also attempted to pretend the primal and rugged feeling that a new world should have.
What will be left and what will be lost in the fierce battle for survival under this world...
Please witness it with your own eyes.
World View ~Prologue~
The creation of world ended in failure.
After the failure, only a world of abandonment and indifference remained.
In the world, there was only....
The stagnant wind
The moon that was unable to escape the sun
The still water
The sun no longer chasing after the moon
The cooled magma
The earth devoid of life
That was all
As the world sank into despair, right before giving up, it managed to squeeze out its remaining power, risking its own survival to summon out six worlds.
The first world, was a crimson world dwelling in the ever flowing winds.
The second world, was a purple world where the moon raced , impossible to capture.
The third world, was a verdant world where streams flowed ceaselessly.
The fourth world, was a pristine white world where the sun swirled, chasing the moon.
The fifth world, was a clear yellow world where the molten lava flowed.
The sixth world, was a deep blue world where the earth breathed its deepest sighs.
These worlds merged into one, giving the world of despair a slight revival.
However, in order to become a truly living world, the six worlds need to be unified and made whole.
The six tribes inhabiting the six worlds sensed the mission of the unification of the world. Each asserting their dominance and began to amass their armies.
Introduction of new illustration!
In the midst of enjoying Battle Spirits, please also take note of brand-new spirit cards entering the new world view.
