bbs replacement of the drive system

[cloud213]

I was thinking, that in birth by sleep, that since you have no partners,or at least at hasn't been confirmed yet that you have team mates, what is going to happen with the drive system. Then I had an idea, when nomura was talking about some sort of growth system in the game, I thought that maybe as you progress through the game, and as you grow stronger, terra,aqua or ven will be able to transform into their armor, like we saw in the bbs trailer and that will kind of replace the drive system. just a idea anyway

The Shot Lock replaces the drive. Its either that, or Fatal Mode. Thats an awesome idea, though. The armor thing would be really fun

I think Fatal Mode and the Shoot Lock System is what is replacing drives....

 

[Macabre]

Fatal Mode,that'll be the Drive Form replacement in BBS.

It'll be exclusive to Terra.

 

[terra2.0]

Fatal mode will most likely replace drive's

I think Ven gets Fatal Mode too

 

[Omegas Squared]

have any shots of ven's actual gameplay been released? because I can only find cutscenes.

 

[Iridium]

There's the old screen you can find in the BBS section of KHI on the front page; the column on the left.
Also yes Ven does go through fatal mode.

 

[Ordeith]

Fatal Mode is the BBs equivalent to drives, and the Shot Lock Attack System is its equivalent to limits, especially seeing how similar the gauges are for them.

 

[Audo]

I don't think Ven's is actually called Fatal Mode though...
We need to see some scans to be sure.

The armor idea is pretty interesting.
I wonder why Ven, Aqua, and Terra wear armor, anyway?

Well, Nomura hadn't figured out their clothing designs yet, and since he already used cloaks, armor was the way to go.
As for the in-game reason, not much has been hinted about it yet, so we'll just have to wait and find out.
