This general is for discussing Japanese Mobile Games that don't have their own dedicated general elsewhere. Occasionally some Chinese and Korean games will be discussed too.>List of frequently discussed games and guides for them:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zMS5UYhWpWtxSla0dt3TutdezA1zWSL0pzI3i9vwjToRead this Pastebin about how to get around region locks for both Android and iOS:https://pastebin.com/kdChFL5nPrevious: >>46889822
>Aster censored its pantsu with black voids>already confirmed to be a financial disappointment and will probably be dead before the end of the yearBut people told me censoring pantsu would save mobage and prevent EoS!
>>47107764Nah, many anons play this popular game.
>>47107940>Compassanon is many anons
Compasschizo is getting really annoying.
>>47107770We're only getting MagiReco OP now? The last thread has been open for almost 1 month.
>>47109488A while back we had a thread that lasted a full month.
>>47109488Most games that people would talk about either have their own threads on /vg/ or /vmg/. Aside from the one dude who likes Compass everything else that would be talked about here is either EoS'd, dying or way too niche to have much of an active discussion to speed up the thread.
>>47109488That's because JP mobage are old and busted. CN and KR mobage are the new hotness.
JP idolges are still king
>>47109691I think the problem(?) is a lack of eos bait or new games in general. If SP:BYI came out, the general would count the days until eos.
I don't get why everyone is dooming #COMPASS
>>47112828We're just making fun of Compassanon, we don't actually dislike Compass itself.
Why don't they just officially cancel Shine Post if they've given up on it?
>>47116188Probably some contract thing they want to avoid paying out.
>>47116188They'll do a Lapis and suddenly release the game when no one expects it.
>>47107770What is dead may never diehttps://x.com/madoka_exedra/status/1802627249507795416
>>47119350But does it have the MagiReco girls?
Does anyone know what caused gacha to start calling the most common units/cards/whatever as "rare"? Was it mental illness?
>>47122149brainrot power creep
>>47116188shite post was silently cancelled, they never go out of their way to say so. Audience is expected to forget.
>>47109691>dyingBut that's what this thread enjoys discussing the most, games dying. Either that or pantsu.
>>47122149rarity creep
>>47122221>>47123637That doesn't make sense though, most games do not introduce any new higher rarities beyond the ones that are there on launch, and they still start with fucking rare=common nonsense.
>>47123721I always figured it was framing. "You got good stuff, but you could get better stuff!" is more encouraging that "You got absolute garbage, but you could get something that doesn't suck!"Granted, you're gonna think the latter either way, especially once you're into the game. But by that point it doesn't matter anyway.Also, some games use those lower rarities for stuff like your dirt-common freebie drops. So for those it serves as a separator between that and stuff you've spent gacha currency on.
Why are Japanese mobage so incapable of making something original?
>>47126137This is NetEase, from China.
>>47126137>>47124371This one is an actual JP dev
>>47126137The EOSbowl between this and Highspeed Etoile is on.
the compass killer… https://x.com/festibattle/status/1803352269246935287
>>47127166As a #COMPASSer, I'm excited to play this new game rather than feel any tribalism. These types of games are rare and I hope it encourages more good JP mobage. Maybe it'll even get MS and Shironeko players to try #COMPASS.
https://x.com/D4DJ_pj/status/1803608709811282092Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
>>47131670We are finally trending in top 10 on X!
Soon?
>>47131876Tonight!
>>47131891But they said they're moving to Donuts.
>>47131929The project is. Who knows what will happen to the app...
>>47131876>>47131670I just hope it keeps being yuri.
>>47131876https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Beu86GLyvtEmoment of truth
>>47133149Beginning of the end
>>47133149>Budokan live next yearIs this a good thing or a bad thing?
>>47131670Bad. This sort of thing happens when the game isn't making any more money, so they give it to another company that will keep it on maintenance mode until EoS.
>>47134097At least 5 more years then.
>>47131670Who knows. DONUTS killed their FPS gacha game really fast but they still keep Tokyo 7th Sisters alive
https://x.com/HSE_Project_PR/status/1804081258265481503Highspeed Etoile won
>>47141708>VNThat's just a mobage without gameplay.
Donuts pantsu?
Donuts lesbian pantsu? Even Lapis Re:LiGHTs had them.
>>47141708Yep, Im thinking it is a big victory.
>>47145543>no towelsMajofuro killer
Ok but how many -killers actually lived up to the title besides Dragaliakiller?
>>47139019Beautiful bird.
Etoile pantsu?
Oh yes birthday of characters we never get to know.
There is still literally nothing to play...
I am dropping games this month

Should I play outerplane?
>>47162054Think of it as your typical turn-based gacha. Now, does the characters appeal to you? Also, do note that it's a KR game so don't confuse that it's a JP game.
idoly pride 3rd anniversary eos keklmao
Summary of the Compass stream from earlier today:July's season will be themed on JusticeStarting off with costumes, the next batch of summer costumes are for Blaze Dragon, Nanigashi, Cu Sith and Al. They will be available throughout July along with previous years' costumes.As for the new hero, Onigashiki Ura is a tank who will be added to the game after maintenance tomorrow - she is indeed a lady and boast high attack and health values.Her hero action is an AoE attack that can be charged up to three times - each charge increases the range of the attack and damage dealt. Enemies hit will be sent flying regardless of the charge level. It also appears to be blocked by terrain.Her hero ability adds a launch effect to AoE cards so they will send anyone who gets hit flying.Her hero skill does an AoE attack immediately in front of her, sending out a shockwave that covers a wide radius, breaks shields and launches enemies. Enemies directly in front of her will receive fatal damage - the damage drops off the further away an enemy is.Her normal attacks aren't the fastest and will struggle against heroes with high defence, so she really is just meant to be played with AoE cards.Preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nw3pQul0ScEThat's all for now!
>>47162541>KRI thought it was CN. Their powercreep can get crazy.
>>47122102Did you even watch the trailer?
>>47162578Considering the massive 3rd anniversary update (thanks to the massive revenue from Gakumas), it's not going away anytime soon.Also you forget that the game is actually an idle game, and games of this type have absurdly long shelf lives. They can have zero content for years and still remain alive.
>>47163508They'll have to keep pumping new cards or cosmetics to make money. Being a 3D game is also more expensive than your usual jpeg collector.
>>47162742Thanks Compassbro.
>>47163508>the game is actually an idle game, and games of this type have absurdly long shelf livesLapisbros...
>>47162742Need a 100% confirm/proof on that gender. I'm not falling into any traps.
>>47164332If the purpose is to make money, yes. If the purpose is just to stay alive, no.>>47165817Lapis wasn'tan idle game. UnfortunatM4Mely.
>>47166361It was mentioned during the stream that she's a handsome female and not a bloke in disguise
>>47166549What?
>Uma Musume got an English version before Shine Post came out
>>47169344Didn't they ban all gaijins off their jp servers recently? I wouldn't touch that game.
>>47169344You never know. They've been working on it for years so it could come out at anytime now.
>>47170373Will it be more yuri than GakuMas?
How do you all like the new #COMPASS hero?
>>47170388>canon male PAnon, I..

It's fun sending people flying but she really lacks survivability for a tank. Plus she's not cute
>>47171658Like what?
>>47171042dunno anon. it uses the same naming scheme as Taiwan and Korea's accounts and there's that anniv live event next month.that's my hopium in this
Why not just make a Compass general in /vmg/ if you want to talk about Compass so badly?
/mbgg/ should migrate to /vmg/
/vmg/ should migrate to /mbgg/
>>47172923Who would keep /mbgg/ alive?>>47173030I guess that would be fine. Same traffic but more visible to a mobage-minded crowd.>>47173129That would ruin the sactity of /mbgg/
>>47171818Those are some huge buffs for Rockman and Denji. Multiple instakill shots for Rockman. Instakill dash during a long HS for Denji plus he gets more HA range.
>>47173159EoSchads
Festibattle beta soon and I'm in it. Jp mobage is saved!
>>47170431Irrelevant to non purityfags.
>>47170429sucks and wish she would stop taking a spot from a better character. buffs doko
What happened to Shine Post anyway?
>>47169344It's good that they're self-publishing but do people even care about Umas in the west? Not mention being 3 years behind on content will be rough.
>>47178259they will pay a few ecelebs and vtubers to play it for an hour and then the wallets will start thinking
>>47173030Generals are officially not allowed there. At the very least you'll have to remove the /mbgg/ handle. Either stay here or move back to /vg/.
Haru...
>>47181460Ren..
>>47169344Coincidentally, CyberAgent (Cygame's parent company) announced today that they established a new AI localization center where they're going to use AI to translate manga and other works for overseas release.I bet they're going to use AI to translate for uma musume global.
>>47173788is compassanon in?
The "everything" killer
>>47173788https://x.com/festibattle/status/1805898294922707037It's over
>>47182219Yes. I got Lovey but straight.>>47182748That's just #COMPASS but more drawn out.
>>47182779Worked for me
>>47182079Damn they really are starting to bypass western localizers.
>>47182079Good for them but I'm never playing a game made by cygames again
>>47182079I can't wait to try AI Musume!
>>47184337Why?
>>47182079I've heard AI translation became a meme in Korea thanks to it translating one of the lines from BA anime into "There's nothing else to do but SEX"
>>47184609Auto translating Asian languages in general often results in mistakes. Context is often hard to get right.
>>47184593They take FOMO too far
>>47184781Not him but elaborate
Is it too late to drop this and go back to Idoly Pride?
>>47190393I dunno but you can also come back to #COMPASS
>>47190393>go backYou've lost like a month of idle progress compared to your group peers.It's over.
>>47182779every mode is alright except for escort where I get stun locked and it’s one sided every time
>>47190393No clue but how do I quit mobages?
>>47191952waste all gems get nothing and move on
>>47191952Stop launching them?
Will we get Lapis Re:LiGHTs info from the Kadokawa dump?
How long do you think EN musume will actually last? I can't give it more than 2 years. Umas are not popular overseas and idol raisers are even less popular
>>47194877Kadokawa dump?
>>47195154It's self published so I can see it lasting.
>>47195154As long as the JP version stays afloat reasonably well they'll keep it going for a while.
>>47190393It is never late to return home, white man. Gakumas sucks and the girls are worse, typical good idea poor execution.
>>47196611But Idoly doesn't have as big a yuri fanbase as Gakumas
>>47196611Why does Gakumas suck?
>>47196633Good, yuri is shit.
>>47196870They want you to play it too much and there's no auto. I got bored already and all I do are the dailies now.
I think #COMPASS should self-publish to EN. Would have a sizeable playerbase.
>>47190393Anniversary is on right now. They timed it perfectly for Gakumas fatigue.
Waiting for the action pantsu NTF game next month, and Madoka's new game depending on what it looks like.
>>47200994https://www.ririsa-riristage.com/>The hags are actually in yuri>the mobage will have an original story on their pastPicked up and added to the list.
>>47201039Wait that's having a mobage? But why? What makes they think it will succeed?
>>47202693It's free cash. It'll close after 1 year of milking.
>>47202693>>47202801
>>47204281>Not pantsuYeah I wasn't expecting anything from JP devs anyway and even less from a manga IP.
>>47204394bro your lying eyes...
>>47204406Bro those are safety shorts. The type worn by idols and shit.
>>47204424shorts are longer and have even hem. pic related were pantsu.
>>47204435Check again bro. They go until the upper thigh. Those are the type of safety shorts worn by idols when they wear very short skirts and shit.
>>47204451If you want to see what safety shorts actually look like, check out the new Idolmaster
>>47204281ahahaHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>47204435>>47204457They are short safety shorts, which is a given with how short that skirt is. You won't find something that short in idolmaster.
Today is Momo's birthday
8 Beat Story dies after 8 Years of Service.10 Years out from 2034.AIslop won.https://www.udio.com/
>>47205868T7S and D4DJ next.
At least we still got #COMPASS
This but D4DJ
>>47205896D4DJ maybe, but T7S has pic related so it won't die.
Need a better webm converter (for android)

What's the next EoS?
Barely a few weeks after the Global server died, marking the final death of the SIF series, they now announce the long-dreaded Finale Live for Aqours.
>>47212563
>>47207957We should have a solo story about her unironically.I want to like the 2053 girls more, and yes their VA are very charming and cute- no-one doubts Kaede and Nonnon's dedication, but so frustrating to have a story in the future but Nico-sama never reunites with the first Idol she managed and train.
