The Truth About VF (VF5REVO)

It's a great fighting game, one of the best. However, it struggles to keep casual players engaged due to the lack of offline content and the absence of incentives in online mode—something that could be addressed by adding rewards like clothing pieces and accessories, similar to the Quest mode in Virtua Fighter 5 Vanilla (2006).

I hope the new Virtua Fighter truly features a Yakuza-style story mode, making it more appealing to casual players. Additionally, it would be interesting to include the ability to earn accessories and clothing in online matches, encouraging more players to engage with the multiplayer.

Without any of that, a casual player who goes online for a few matches against someone more experienced or who has a decent grasp of VF’s fundamentals will likely get frustrated and quit the game. After all, no one likes to be used as a punching bag for nothing. That’s exactly what happened to several people I knew who played VF5US when it was released on PS4.
