Well that's unfortunate. I guess I shouldn't be that surprised when they'd want to plug Link monsters through the game, but I just hope they won't force players to use it even during the story mode for different series. It would sadly fit with how Konami forced players into using Link monsters in the first place though. I don't know if I'd even want to play as any Vrains characters. I wouldn't mind trying out Link monsters, but since I loathe the series so much, I'm not really excited for that aspect of the game either. The main selling point of this game for me is undoubtedly playing through a potential Arc V story mode.

Yeah I guess that's the issue with them enforcing the new rules of the game. Makes everyone stuck with them no matter what. There's still hoping they won't have it be that way for the story mode but who knows. At least we can find out in about two weeks when it comes out in Japan. Sorry for giving you the false hope of it looking like the zone wasn't there in the first screens. I shouldn't really speak about stuff without actually knowing about it haha.

That's okay. It was a reasonable assumption given what you saw from the earlier screenshots. It would be kind of difficult to play some decks with those new rules in place. Oddly enough, I don't mind the Pendulum Zones being part of the Spell/Trap Card Zones. That felt like a more natural way to limit Pendulum summoning without breaking it apart. The Extra Monster Zone concept is complete garbage and I hate the idea of being forced to use Link monsters if I want to use more Extra Deck monsters. I just hope that the next summoning method they'll inevitably make after Vrains will be a better fit for the game and they won't alter the game further to make it work.

I really gotta get better at responding when I see the notification so I don't forget.

Yeah the Pendulum zone in the backrow did make a lot of sense when they made that move, what with Pendulums being a version of a Continuous Spell it did make sense to force them to share the spot. Besides aside from a few decks you wouldn't want your backrow over crowded. You are right though. I can understand the concern with Extra Deck speed summoning but to hamper everything and totally changing the game by making the Extra Monster Zone was a bit too extreme. No other summon ever made the entire rules of the game change like this. Who knows how wacky the next summon method could be.
