The world after the great war
The Great Demon-Subduing War in Taisho 19 ended with the disappearance of the Imperial Capital, Paris, and New York Chinese Strike Corps. Subsequently, the World Huajiao Regiment Alliance (WLOF) was established to promote the establishment of teams in various cities, holding a biennial competition combining opera and combat. Ten years later, the New Empire Huajitai acts to win the tournament, but a new enemy turns the competition into a battle to defend the world.
New flower group and exchange
The new flower group includes Tiangong Sakura, Shinonome Hatsuho, Mochigetsu thistle, Anastasia Palma, and Klaris. Players control Kamiyama to explore the Great Empire Theater and Ginza and interact with other members. The time-limited response system LIPS affects trust in responses, and running out of time counts as a kind of response; Simulated LIPS also allows you to adjust the intensity of the tone using the joystick.
Action combat and crafting
During battle, you can switch between Kamiyama and your teammates' units, using consecutive attacks, special moves, and instant evasion. The unit's characteristics affect your controls. The main character designs were handled by Tite Kubo, Kohei Tanaka handled the music, and Jiro Ishii was responsible for story composition. The original work is credited as Prince Hiroi. The 2019 version and the budget version released in 2020 are different release dates.
New Empire Huajituan
Seijuro Kamiyama was transferred from the Navy to become captain of the Flower Division, leading Sakura Amamiya, Hatsuo Shinonome, Azami Mochizuki, Anastasia, and Clarice. Sumire Kanzaki leads the theater and the Hanaki Team, while Kaoru Rindou and Ooba Komachi handle the Kazegumi affairs, and Reishi Shiba handles technical and stage props.
Chinese strike regiments from various countries
The Shanghai Five Divine Dragons were led by Yang Shaolong, and Huang Yu excelled in acrobatics; Arthur, a Knight of the Round Table in London, inherited the family name and sword, while Lancelot fought with twin swords; Berlin's Schwarzstern was led by Alice, with Margaret serving as the sergeant. Teams from various countries met the Imperial Chinese Strike Group in a WLOF competition.
The Tiangong family and their lineage
After Sakura's mother Hinata Amamiya passed away, her father Tekkan raised her alone. The Amamiya Kunisada left by her mother is an important memorial for Sakura, and her father's friend Hakushu Murasame teaches her swordsmanship. Mochizuki Hadansai is Azami's foster and the leader of the ninja village.
Songs and soundtracks
"Shin Sakura Wars Kayō Zenshu" includes fourteen vocal tracks and accompaniment, as well as three BGM original soundtrack discs. The theme song was written by Prince Hiroi, composed by Kohei Tanaka, and performed by five Hana Gumi character actors. Kohei Tanaka was responsible for the background music; The lyricist for 'Iron Star' is credited to Seiko Fujibayashi.
Handover and rewriting of plot scripts
Ishii wrote the project proposal into a narrative plot, then Takaaki Suzuki expanded the dialogue and scenes based on it, and Ishii checked the outline for any deviations; Some backgrounds are not developed, so new players aren't blocked by the main storyline. The earliest story that helped the revival project pass was later set aside and reimagined until around November 2016, when the World Huajitai Battle Plan was formed.
Repeated adjustments to the visual scheme
The design of the airframe and 3D models are repeatedly checked between designers and teams; Character design images are standardized in proportion, with examples of colors and expressions. Motion capture helped modify the skeleton closer to the human body, and the initial transparent cockpit design was relieved due to the display of the burden. Character modeling was once prioritized for Sakura, then other characters were developed based on her.
Proposals and feedback on character appearances
Tite Kubo painted the appearance based on existing settings and researched Taisho costumes. The major case is discussed internally by SEGA, with details confirmed via LINE; Blade mechanisms, combat suit illuminated lines, structural diagrams, and temporary names are proposed along with the design. Clarice's proportions and glasses design, Tetsugan's sense of age, and Sumire's transformation from cane to fan were all adjusted through feedback or subsequent development.
The lines performed by Kamiyama and Amamiya Sakura
Collected from the Kamiyama branch lines of the 2019 PS4 'New Sakura Wars'. Yohei Azakami bases his character on a straightforward and fresh tone, deliberately toning down his voice personality to facilitate player projection; When facing different characters with the same lines, he fine-tunes his tone based on imagined relationships. The sound director's instructions also shifted his voice from a higher pitch to a voice closer to his usual level. Before recording, Ayane Sakura and the staff were familiar with Sakura's lively and expressive image. After seeing the design of this work, she dropped her Yamato Nadeshiko preset and performed with a natural and straightforward voice. The production team also discussed Kanzaki's new positioning with Michie Tomizawa, and after gaining understanding, invited her to appear.
Playtest, branches, and visual details
The production team chose episode 4 to showcase the mechanisms and enemies from "New Sakura Wars"; This section goes beyond the basic tutorial and increases the difficulty for trial players, so TGS2019 the trial difficulty is set lower than the Hanayashiki Experience Edition. Character branches control expansion to reduce the burden of repeated loops. Visual production has studied cartoon rendering, considering engine compatibility, and experimenting with illustration and realistic polygons, supplementing kimono patterns and materials. Sakura's hakama maintain the overall connection of the model, bending through multiple joints; For the large number of ordinary enemy aircraft, try to minimize the data.
Guest artists' design choices
In the guest design for "New Sakura Wars," Yukiko Horiguchi retained the atmosphere felt from the series animation and film, adding fantasy elements to the Chinese-style costumes of the Shanghai Huajituan characters. Fumikane Shimada said that Tite Kubo's lead role design allowed him to add his own style to the Berlin Strike Group with less constraints; Ken Sugimori, commissioned as the mascot of the imperial drama, combined a relaxed and approachable image with a sense of the Taisho era.
Navigation prompts in PS4 events
Event locations or characters are marked with green exclamation marks, and the next main action is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen. Investigating glowing points can yield clues or photos; Timed events display the remaining time with a timer bar.
PS4 bonds and combined attacks
Communication during adventures affects the bond state at the start of battle; Taking down many enemies in battle or coordinating with wingmen to knock down enemies also changes synergies.
Combined attacks must meet certain conditions and can only be activated once per battle. After the special performance ends, the abilities of Kamiyama and the heroine's mecha will be greatly enhanced for a period of time.
Battle rules for the PS4 Huajituan Tournament
Tournament battles use three-on-three teams, with players selecting members before deployment. Score points by knocking down enemies on the field; Push the score bar to the max, or score higher at the end of the time limit to win the next round. Winning two rounds to advance.
PS4 battle reenactment and spiritual power accumulation
After progressing through the main story, the underground hangar opens up the "Ikusa-chan" battle simulator. Players can replay battles completed in chapters and also have tasks to change the characters they deploy; Some tasks will reward you with special photos upon completion.
The spiritual power required to perform a finishing attack can be accumulated by knocking down enemies and picking up recovery items. Designated spots on the field allow for wall runs to cross terrain.
