>>4236995How are Yugioh or Touhou considered gacha? Neptunia is borderline because it used to have short unsucessful gacha once I guess, but those other two don't got anything.And please don't say TCGs are gachas.
>>4237003Touhou has a Lost Word. Yugioh has multiple games so.But glad you are here so we can open this discussion. I don't want to be that onee-sama, but I think we might need to prune some links because, let's be honest, EVERYTHING has a gacha in Japan. If we link every thread with a gacha we'd probably end up linking a quarter of the board.So what do you say?
>>4237006What even is that response? Yugioh has no gachas. It doesn't belong on this list at all.I don't know everything on the list, so I can't talk about all the entries, but I absolutely despise that non-yuri shit like Love Live, Idolmaster and Girls Frontline get to have threads at all.Can we just expunge any links for games that don't actually have yuri? It's fine to let them persist as image dumps, but this thread should direct you to games that at least have solid yuri/subtext. That would get rid of at least half of them. Ironically Yugioh would stay by those criteria as it has more canon yuri than most gacha these days. But it's a TCG, not a gacha, so too bad.
Basically if I had made the thread the only games worth a damn to list for a yuri gacha thread areHeaven Burns Red >>4210210 Granblue Fantasy >>3925924 MagiReco >>4116934 Assault Lily >>4002982 Reverse: 1999 >>4236355 Path to Nowhere >>4200458 If Towa Tsugai or D4DJ had threads you could add those. Everything else is idolshit without real yuri, waifushit without real yuri and stuff that just plain is irrelevant to gacha. MagiRevo is dead too, so it will fade into the same niche as Neptunia soon enough.As an addendum, HoYoverse would be on topic solely for Honkai Impact 3rd, but not only is that the least relevant game being talked about in those threads, it also had a massive anti-yuri decline over the last years.
>>4237035>MagiRevoYou mean MagiReco?
>>4237036No shit.
>>4237041Thought so. Careful with that autocorrect.No it's not dead. They released a trailer which all but confirms that the MagiReco characters will be in the new game. And if you needed anymore confirmation the announcement event is headline by Iroha's VA.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ0nUbisCNsSo the funeral in July is less a funeral than a very cynical attempt to move people onto the sequel? game.With all that said, there's still a chance they could mess it up. The SIF sequel has become legendary for how poorly managed it was.
>>4237045Is Magia Record going EOS? Yes. That means it's dead. If this new game replaces it, fine by me. But can I just point out that it has one of the worst names ever conceived? Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra makes me want to do to the devs what was done to Mami in the anime.
>>4237047Madoka has a fetish for the classics since Mami and her battle theme. Exedrae were used as forum/auditory back then, before it just became fancy architecture features, so I guess the title really means Magical Public Oration. Maybe that hints at what the game will be like, much like Magia Record just meant Magical Girl Record.
Happy 3rd Aipura.
>>4237055>Magical Public OrationSinging game?
It seems Natalia and Layla are getting married!
>>4236995https://x.com/uma_musu_en/status/1805222596507767168What's the point of this?
>>4239642Because this game seen eternal like Love Live now
>>4239642>JP release date: 2021Will this be the gacha that's furthest behind now?
>>4241124All can be translated fast because AI
>I put a gun in your hand. I gave you something that was yours.>I appreciate that, Yume-senpai.
>>4241124I wonder how they plan to survive if they're really starting full behind. When gachas are localized with such delays, the playerbase usually starts minmaxing banners and just mass skipping all the shitty/mediocre ones because they know what is coming next, which obviously tanks sales.
Sucks that WuWa is trying so hard to be like Genshin even though the character models and combat is infinite times better than the latter. I'm probably going to wait for ZZZ, even though their female roster looks so boring, to see which I stick with. I don't know how people play more than 2+ gachas, I've already got my hands full with one.
>>4237008Love Live? You want the franchise with the majority of yuri fanworks to not have threads?
>>4237008> Love LiveYou have no fucking idea what you're talking about, right?By the way, the board is not your safe space.
>>4242738I stand corrected. Story in 1.1 still got issues, but it's at least better than the previous acts. Feel like this game is aiming for MC x Character, as evidenced by Jinhsi's character trailer which doubles as a 'date'.ZZZ next week but I'm already annoyed that they're doing 3 girls + 1 guy in most teams.
>>4241536They can but imagine the schedule
Thoughts on WuWa 1.1? Are you guys gonna stick with it?
>>4245362It's a self-insert pandering game, they had a chance to do something with Sanhua/Jinhsi, but did absolutely nothing. I will continue playing, but just for gameplay for the while, and if they don't release game modes more interesting and challenging than abyss, I'll probably quit.
>>4237008>Girls Frontlineyou can play a female shikkan, good enough for me
>>4246227Same. Best game mode we have now is Illusive Realm, but that's only per patch. Really looking forward to Changli, it was sneaky of them to let us try her out during the story quest. 1.2 seems like it won't have any new interesting charcters. Leaks show 1 confirmed male and the other is unknown for now.
>>4245362Already dropped it. Story is unbearably shit and whatever yuri exists is exclusively tied to the self-insert.Will try out ZZZ next.
>>4245362>all my friends already dropped it>still need to do X, Y, and Z to finish dailiesI don't know how much longer I can keep playing
>>4246531Why would you stack 5 monthlies?
>>4246531That's like almost every gacha created? But yeah, why the hell would you buy a monthly for a game you don't even like??
>>4244303>>4244335Fuck the bait.
>>4236995It happened, HBR got its global announcement.So now Yostar can ruin it for the EOPs.https://www.yo-star.com/en-us/news/18
>>4247234>It happened, HBR got its global announcement.Finally I will be able to play it, it was so hyped here on /u/ for so many years.
>>4247242Everyone in the HBR thread had given up on global to be honest. Instead everyone learned Japanese or found translations software.
>>4247154Don't use words you have no fucking idea what they mean.
>>4247317Love Live isn't yuri and while you can have your little pathetic image dump threads, it will never be relevant.
>>4248059
>>4237045Hoping that THIS TIME we'll get the Tay AI x Snaa yuri we deserve.
So how gay is ZZZ?
>>4253519Heard there's not much to go by at the moment.
>>4245362fun game but it has zero potential for yuri. probably dropping
Towa Tsugai EoS announcement was a while ago, but the actual EoS is next week. They kept releasing story updates with the latest delivering on the gay. Confession with proper kiss + others publicly recognising them too. It's refreshing after a year of flirting, and the story continues as well (via official fansite) so it doesn't end when they get together.It's the most yuri gacha game ever and probably will be forever forgotten.
>>4256731It was a very good vn game that tried to add shit gacha gameplay, should have stick with just the vn part.
>>4256731Are there any attempts to translate what's there?
>>4259663It's really not that hard to follow the story, you don't need like N1 level Japanese or whatever.
>>4259663Iirc in a previous thread someone posted a random Twitter account which had a txt file translation of the first chapter, but I can't find it at the moment.Anyway, now all the story content of the game (main story, substories, events, records, couple conversations) is freely available on the official Youtube account:https://www.youtube.com/@towatsugaiThe new website, Towa Tsugai Fans, launched yesterday and already has the first part of the new chapter. It seems that to keep watching the story you'll have to be active on the website to level up your account, but it's pretty easy and fast for now (there's a gacha system but it's only for collectible cards with no gameplay use, a yuri memory matching minigame where instead of pairing matching cards you have to find the correct pair of girls, and a community where you can earn points just by giving likes or comments on other people's posts or fanarts).
>>4259864Nice, I should be able to follow it then.I can keep up with Uma's and GK's dialogues just fine but I assumed Towa's was harder because of posts like this >>4256734 that compared it to a VN.>>4259984Cheers, I thought of looking it all up on youtube but didn't have the time to yet.I assume that website you mentioned is the way they'll release new official stuff? In which case thanks for pointing it out as well.
Path to Nowhere's newest character is kissing the FeMC.
>>4261261Goddamn Chinese censors.
>>4256731Squeenix set it up to fail. Not just because of the retarded region lock, but also because they barely promoted it and focused more on making it a mulitmedia nonsense thing instead of properly investing into the main game.Without a doubt this should have been a VN or a LN series, because they never intended to support it as a real gacha.
>>4261330It was also a pretty bad gacha in the first place, the most generic gacha gameplay (combat and raising both) you could possibly imagine. All of the art sans the amazing main characters also seemed to be stock material reused from some unfinished projects or whatnot. It's really sad, given how astonishingly yuri the franchise is.>retarded region lockIt's common practice for gacha to be region-locked if it doesn't have a translation, as annoying as it is. But also, I think very few people would've played it untranslated outside of Japan anyway.
>>4261261As expect of jail girls
Not a lot of content being shared.
>>4261339>It's common practice for gacha to be region-locked if it doesn't have a translation>I think very few people would've played it untranslated outside of JapanHBR wouldn't have a fanbase and even be discussed in the West at all if it was region locked. The fact that it came to Steam and can be played anywhere absolutely helped.Sure, it was still very small, but there is no real downside to not region locking gachas or putting them on Steam.
>>4261369Because everything has its own threads. You can talk about those games nobody cares enough about to make a thread for if you want.
>>4261380That sadly makes sense.
>>4236995MagiReco EoS on 31 July at 3pm JST.
>>4259984Because it's on youtube now, you can turn on the auto-translate to English and get real-time subtitles as you watch.
>>4263132Revue Starlight is finally dead.
D4DJ is now officially under the Donuts label.
>>4270779So does that mean more yuri, less yuri, or about the same?With how Bushiroad handled Revue Starlight, I'm inclined to believe this transfer is a good thing.
>>4270937>with how Bushiroad handled RevStarYou mean with how they kept it strictly subtext? Bushiroad doesnt give a shit about yuri they only make subtext to bait waifu and yurifags equally.D4DJ only had a single canon lesbian couple to begin with, so not much can be lost, but still. If Bushiroad had control of the IP from the start this couple wouldn't exist.
>>4271504>D4DJ only had a single canon lesbian couple to begin withThis is more than 99 of gacha games have to offer
>>4271510Way to miss the point.
the guy posting blue shartchive trash really has no life huh
>>4274790It doesn't deserve it's own thread, so where else would you post yuri art for it dumbo? You complaining about people posting yuri art in the correct threads is the real no-life shit.
>>4275329there is reason it doesn't deserve thread here keep your garbage out of here
>>4275542sorry but i like seeing girls with girls regardless
>>4275542they had a big canonical yuri pairing moment recently too
>>4275620Who? The red academy doujin girls?
>>4275624the entirety of hoshino's arc
>>4275625I'm sure it had all the depth of my foot up your ass too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dexIaE6W1Kk
I don't know how yuri the rest of this is but this is pretty yuri:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAx3VLhVMRMhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmX29U4V8Gk
>>4281785>I don't know how yuri the restIt's the usual hoyo stuff, except the MCs are actual charactersJane seems pretty promising, she goes out of her way to flirt with every woman she meets but never flirts with a dude
>>4274790At this point I'm convinced it's just someone's replybot, there's no real reason for it to be here and no actual content of any value to their posts.
>>4284400nta but the reason is most likely getting your panties in a twist
>>4284490I'm sure you're going to post the futa archive game here "just because" too huh.
>>4284615Beats imageless posts complaining about yuri art if you ask me.
>>4283349I'm Serika in this pic!
Not the one spamming, but I'm literally a lesbian fujoshit just passing through this thread looking for HBR discussion and even I'm fine with Blue Archive yuri. so why can't you retards just be chill?
>>428510590% of the time it's newbies trying to fit in by going EWWW these characters are from <thing> ban this sick filth. There's a dedicated hoyoverse thread btw.
>>4285113>There's a dedicated hoyoverse thread btw.Nta but are you confusing hbr with hsr? Those are different games
>>4285150Oh right. Well there's also a dedicated HBR one.
>>4285105Admitting you are a fujo on /u/ isn't really an endorsement of your opinion...
>>4285588The only opinions that are good are the ones I agree with. That aside, a (likely) straight male anon's opinion isn't really that much better than a gay fujo's.
>>4285752No. BL is not tolerated on /u/ any more than hetshit is. A fujo is inclined towards that garbage. No lesbian should be a fujo in the first place. On every level this just means she is a dumb bislut who likes off-topic trash.I will take a yurifag's opinion over a fujos no matter what gender either of them are.
https://www.biligame.com/detail/?id=111964How low of a chance do we have here? I love the aesthetic, but there's nothing that indicates anything yuri from what I saw. Can our chink anon enlighten us?
>>4287587>Chink gacha>real yuriYou wish.
>>4287646R1999 was a pleasant surprise and I wish to be surprised again.
>>4287646>gacha>real anything
>>4287701That one seems to be a huge outlier and I heard some things that explain why this particular company can get away with it. But regardless, that's not the standard and you should never expect anything from Chinaland stuff.
>>4287776>Not watched by CCP>No CCP members in company It's the same reason why hoyo used to be able to get away with it. If reverse1999 suddenly exploded in mega popularity that would immediately change
>Misuzu KawazoeThey didn't forget...
Camellya has a release date on 1.4 in WuWa.Depending on how it goes, might finally be the indicator for me of whether or not to drop this game. Been switching between ZZZ and WuWa and it made we realize (very early on) that the character interactions outside of the MC in this game really lack any sort of personality. The character models and combat is still really good though. Big dilemma between combat and story.
>>4289578I felt vindicated in my choice of dropping WuWa once ZZZ came out. If I want player x character interactions Rin is a far better ‘player’ (since she’s more of a character) than Rover.
>>4289345
>>4289581Who is Rin?
>>4289626Probably Belle in JP>>4289581Just depends on what you're playing for I guess. I very much prefer the combat in WuWa than ZZZ.I would also try out PGR but I'm one of those people that doesn't want to play a gacha that's too old.
>>4289752Wuwa needs to really fix its hitboxes and hit feedback. Combat is genshin tier simply because that part is so bad.Also the devs are bad at kit design. Chars only build the bar to build the bar, not because those actions do any damage. Like how the next healer does all kinds of nonsensical shit that deals negative damage as she scales healing with HP but attacks via EXTREMELY low atk% multipliers, when all you care about is her outro and the fucking liberation.I have long since given up on the battle part of the game. Only the other things could possibly save the game, but as a gacha you naturally suffer if your kit designers sucks ass and don't even design them with enemies in mind. (the tower Scar nerf is funny, because that was just one of MANY issues the game has in this way. Almost every char is fucked when enemy jumps away when you just entered your short "I can deal damage" window with most chars, or the enemies spam too many attacks)We'll see where it goes. Right now I'm just waiting for Tsubaki to see if she can turn things around a little at least.
>>4287874>>4287776>>4287646It is a rule that every company above a certain threshold in number of employees need to form a Communist committee.MiHoYo frequently collaborated with authorities. The Shanghai CCP branch pushed MiHoYo to boost Chinese soft power. They have been working hand in hand since the beginning.The only thing that has changed is that XJP started cracking down on things he does not like in modern media including gays but he is not as strict about it compared to say, things that make the party look bad. There are still arrests but baihe is still being written.
I just want a gacha game where I dont have to deal with het/harem hjinks...
>>4296293Reverse 1999
>>4296293Stop being a shit. The minimum should be "has yuri" not just "isn't a het harem". This isn't the platonic all-female cast board.
>>4296293Well you have a mediocre game like Queen's Blade Limit Break, barely any story, silly events (crossovers) and a system full of greed and no scruples, but there is no het so that's good, I think.
>>4296293Assault Lilly, heaven burns red, that squenix game that's a web page only now, and reverse 1999
>>4296761I think it's just bait, there's no way someone is oblivious to the many games in the market that fit that description
Shorekeeper story of wuthering waves is pretty romantic , she play piano with Rover
>>4296293Towatsugai... if it wasn't dead (I'm yet to figure out the Fans thing).>>4293606I rue the fact that I probably will miss the upcoming GLFes with a Blue Archive section...
>try a new gacha cause i saw it had a female "mc" option>the whole anime opening cutscene is just the male mci guess these hack devs are still doing this shit, i'm still somewhat hopeful that in 2040~2050 the female mc will not be an afterthought in many games with a mc gender option, but who knows....
>>4313243Which game?
>>4313292https://www.rzns.jp/pre-x/
Which academy should I pick at the start of Assault Lily for MAXIUM YURI? Or just quality writing in general.
Why is there so many new gacha games but all of them have a male mc only? i guess we're going back to the dark times of gachas, maybe there is some new obscure ones that has a femc but it's hard to know about it and this thread is dead af....
>>4315634>quality writing>in the MTL gameProbably should go to the academy that teaches you Japanese.
>>4316486Who cares about the riffraff? All those small gacha will EOS quickly. The only ones that matter are the big ones. And for those we got at least two with a mandatory female protag and several with slectable gender that have been going for a while.
>>4318998I care when the riffraff occasionally have explicit yuri pairs and yuri pandering in every update. Calling what the big ones offer a drip feed is an insult to hydrodynamics. Selectable gender is asking you to keep your blinders on for a character bland enough to fit in every possible pairing that will inevitably be dropped in a month when it's time to shill someone new. I couldn't imagine how desperate you'd need to be to play those big ones primarily for yuri.
Wishing for a Yuri doujin with only the female commanders/admirals/etc.
>>4319558I think Major General Armstrong/Winry would be pretty based. Though Winry of course isn't a general.
I love them to bits.I actually wrote a fanfic that's up on AO3 (From Cinder to Flame) but there's three others by oaksy that are longer and better, I'd definitely recommend those.
>>4320454I quit Arknights (actually gachas in general) ages back, but I still love these two too. Blessed.
>>4320454I'm aligned slightly differently but can certainly appreciateWhen I inevitably get back deep into AK this thread will still be up and I'll check those out
So which gacha is the best to play? There’s too many to choose from and half of them are Japanese only
>>4322275What are you looking for specifically? >japanese-onlyDon’t let that hold you back. I picked up HBR with an OCR+translator and my only regret is that I didn’t start it sooner.
>>4322295>What are you looking for specifically?No grinding, no need to spend real money
>>4322301>grindingI think the vast majority of gachas on the market actively prevent grinding via stamina/energy systems; the only game I can think of that has a grindable portion is WuWa.>no need to spend real moneyThere aren’t many games where this is an issue as long as you plan ahead and don’t go for every single character.With that said, I think the best recommendations I can give you are Reverse 1999 and HBR. The latter is JP-only as of now but the global version already has a pre-‘order’ version on appstores, so it’ll be coming soon. Both are more story-focused games with dailies that take a minute or two, and they both have explicit yuri, (though HBR is much more explicit and its yuri is more plentiful).Some other games to consider:Hoyoverse games (Honkai, Genshin, Star Rail, and Zenless): The yuri comes in varying degrees of subtext, but there isn’t too much of it for the most part (other than Honkai which has the most). Dailies are short, and the main annoying part is the ‘grind’ for gear (not real grind since you’re locked to 5-6 runs per day).Rhythm game gachas: D4DJ (most explicit), Project Sekai (has 5 males in the main cast) and Bandori.Feel free to ask if you have questions about any aspect of any of these games. Any others that I didn’t mention (like WuWa or PtN) are because I have 0 experience with them.
>>4322333What Yuri does reverse 1999 have?
>>4322370They have a thread on /u/ just take a look at it
>>4322381Threads are filled with fans who over exaggerate the yuri content actually there
>>4322370There's a fixed female protagonist and multiple girls romantically into her. Plus a bunch of cute side ships.
>>4322386Do you have to deal with any men into the MC or can you just ignore them?
>>4322370Varies from ship to ship. Mostly subtext of varying degrees, but a few are more explicit and one have an obscured kiss.>>4322389Not much of that really.
>>4322333HBR is getting an EN release this month, I think.
>>4322442Not confirmed. The app store allows you to download it on the 15th but there’s no guarantee servers will be up. Just have to wait for an announcement from Yostar.
>>4322454Any talk of a pc port? Like the current one on steam?
>>4322468I remember them saying it'd come to pc somewhere yeah. Whether that'll be on Steam or a standalone launcher though I don't know.
>>4324236>>4324644The coveted BA yuri...
>>4324236>>4324644Literally, the only artist that consistently draws MikaSei.
Atelier Resleriana is all in all pretty subtext, but it does have nice moment
