Forum:What's the deal with the soon-to-be altered dueling field?

As someone who is an avid fan of the series, I'm not happy with what's going to happen with the new dueling field come the VRAINS generation. I find it to be a total mess. For starters, the Pendulum Zones have now merged with the Spell/Trap Zones. That means you now have to really choose between usage of Pendulum Monsters and regular Spells/Traps. I felt the Pendulum Zones were fine where they currently are and do not need to be rearranged. The second addition is what irks me the most: the Extra Monster Zone. In short, its the only Zone where Extra Deck Monsters are allowed to go unless a Link Monster is in play or they're revived from the Graveyard. This means that we can only have one Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Link monster in play at a time UNLESS we have a Link Monster "granting" us more usable zones. Which means we now HAVE to have Link Monsters in order to maximize our space. I find that totally unnecessary, plus it completely hampers the Extra Deck's capabilities. Why did they change that? Was the Extra Deck getting too powerful? Why can't we just use the regular Monster Zones that we currently have like we have for the past five generations of Yugioh? The field wasn't altered for four gens of the series (DM through Zexal), then Arc-V added two Zones for Pendulum Monsters, which was fine, as they weren't invading or restricting anything else. But now, thanks to the upcoming VRAINS gen, the field has been completely rewritten. While I don't mind the "official" zones for Banished and Side Deck, as it does organize them, but I for one am infuriated about this. Is there any rhyme or reason why they did this? Couldn't they just leave the field as is from Arc-V forward, like they did for four generations? Sorry if this sounds like a rant, but I finally get readjusted to the game after another hiatus and it's getting reworked all over again. I want to know why Konami and such are doing this? I don't mind new cards or new types, but reworking the entire field has really ruffled my feathers, as the Arc-V gen field was fine and didn't need any adjustments. So why? That is all I want to know. Thank you. Zero Blade Tiger (talk • contribs) 12:02, March 14, 2017 (UTC)
