Maybe the demo/trial is coming...Nervously waiting
It certainly makes sense that they would take the time to take stock of the information these testers will have given the development team.There are other occurrences going on behind the scenes too, from what I can see looking at SteamDB and Completionist.
SteamDB updates temporarily stopped and have been occurring at a slower rate than in March so far. I assume they're using Steam to control pre-release access to those 20 people play testing the game for feedback purposes, so the reduced and temporarily halted app updates might mean they've come to the end of that process for the moment - or Ys Net took a week to assess what they've been told and figured out what they can do with that information.
Since the last time I checked Completionist, some of these test players have also been able to trigger the full game completion achievement too. I figure that backs up my theory a little, but this is all guesswork.

But then again, nothing indicates so far Baisha specific achievements which indicates imo a more story driven zone than the two previous ones.
So, if I understand correctly, it could just be that "complete" unlocks after the final cutscene or whatever, and doesn't necessarily mean there's a whole other area? So the only thing that really indicates Baisha exists (within the achievements) is more people have unlocked the "all" achievements than the "complete" achievement? That would be pretty telling if we knew more about the state of the build, what specifically they're testing etc.I checked completionist and I saw that the completion rate for "fishing all" and "crude_drug_all" is always the same rate as the smaller completed city, indicating that it is unlocked when both are unlocked.
Although "complete" has a smaller rate than hakkason and chobu completed. Which would indicate it's not unlocked when both are cleared. Considering though the rate is the same as the lowest rates of unlock, it could be either because it's unlocked after unlocking everything or unlocked after Baisha. But then again, nothing indicates so far Baisha specific achievements which indicates imo a more story driven zone than the two previous ones.
I'm taking a neutral approach on this for the moment, personally. As it's a testing environment, I don't want to discount the idea someone was playing purposefully to unlock all achievements; rather than them popping automatically once reaching the final area of the game.I checked completionist and I saw that the completion rate for "fishing all" and "crude_drug_all" is always the same rate as the smaller completed city, indicating that it is unlocked when both are unlocked.

[...] zero reference to it in interviews [...]
As I understand it, SEGASaturno asked a question about Baisha at MAGIC 2019. Their interview hasn't been published yet, though.I can't understand why anybody haven't asked Suzuki about baisha.

I am just throwing it out there for people to keep an open mind and that anything can happen with this game, in terms of its content. Just my 2 cents, but I would advise against casually waving away any and all possibilities of what now may or may not be in the game. The facts are that is zero footage of Baisha released, zero reference to it in interviews, zero achievements, Ben Judd stating the game has 2 areas at the Reboot Developers Conference. You don't have to of course, but looking at what's in front of us, at face value, all I am saying is to at least keep an open mind to the possibilities that could come to be, in terms of what was initially planned, and what could have changed along the development process.
I wonder why? Is there an embargo, or are they just waiting on an accurate JP translation of the answers?As I understand it, SEGASaturno asked a question about Baisha at MAGIC 2019. Their interview hasn't been published yet, though.
No embargo, as other interviews from the same session have been published, and I believe @Switch handled the Japanese translationI wonder why? Is there an embargo, or are they just waiting on an accurate JP translation of the answers?
It sounds like YS didn't answer all of the questions so the answer to Baisha might not even be in there.
