MELTY BLOOD: TWI-LUMINA's Grand Scenario Mode written by Kinoko Nasu will be 20 hours long and will be presented in both visual novel and adventure game formats with choices that can lead to bad ends. Winning battles may also affect progression of the story. For the adventure game sections, attention to detail was made for camera work, dedicated backgrounds, music, and pixel art. The Grand Scenario Mode was created partially because they were aware that there are TYPE-MOON fans interested in reading scenarios by Kinoko Nasu, so by putting a lot of effort into the scenario, first-time fighting game players may find fighting games fun. The creation of the Act control mode was also to help ease in new fighting game players. As for whether Fate characters will appear in the Grand Scenario Mode, Kamone Serizawa said that he can't say for sure, but Fate characters will not be involved. Since the foundation of the story is MELTY BLOOD and Tsukihime, Fate characters will strictly have guest roles. Regarding balance adjustments, it was made to keep things fresh for existing players while making sure newcomers won't get confused. Serizawa said that while TYPE LUMINA received praise, he admitted that there were complex parts that needed smoothing out. When asked about a PC version of Tsukihime: A Piece of Blue Glass Moon, Serizawa said that he and everyone else present were unable to answer that, but the Grand Scenario Mode was designed so that even those that haven't played Tsukihime can enjoy it. In regards to inclusion criteria for characters joining the roster, it is based on consulting with various companies such as FRENCH-BREAD and TYPE-MOON. As a long-time MELTY BLOOD player himself, Serizawa has shared his opinions directly to TYPE-MOON on what characters he wants included. Finally, when asked about if characters that made brief appearances in previous titles will show up in TWI-LUMINA, Serizawa said that can't share anything regarding that at the moment and to please wait for future updates. famitsu.com/article/202609/8… #MELTYBLOOD #MBTW #メルブラ
