>>4404020I hope them being (literally) made for eachother, means Phoebe has a role in Zani's story too.

>>4404785>skips 90% Not OP's fault here.I would blame the spam filter forcing you to only link 4 to 5 post at most, depending on board.

Art of Cupitan and Tristette from the current granblue event.
And with MoeHomu's release we are back.
Happy One Month of Service MagiExe.
Another SiSH concert happening this Monday.
Where's my frontline girls at?
This comic was too fucking good
>>4414470They were so cute
https://youtu.be/Z5UO07yx4MA?si=ppEFcBsZVn9YiJJgNew female only MC gacha?
>>4417828Nvm there's a dude option. Still, it's nice they used the femc for the trailer with a pretty gay interaction at the end.
>>4417828>>4417832The loli/knight pair is 10/10 as wellDefinitely picking it up
>>4417892>>4417832It's a chink gacha picking up after hoyoshit. Let's not be too optimistic
>>4418010Too late. That Vertin and Schneider look alike is reeling me in.
>>4417828She is like Vertin but with pants
I dont usually play gacha games. Which ones have actual canon yuri and not just bait?
>>4419070But she isn't wearing pants, Vertin is
>>4419074Depends on what you consider to be baitReverse 1999 has to deal with censorship so no kissing and no explicit talk about sexuality, but it goes out of it's way to be as yuri as it possibly can
>>4419124censored trash will always be censored trash, i wont support anything like that and neither should you. have some god damn standards and dont just settle for things because you are desperate for yuri. let me guess, you defended the witch from mercury censorship too.
>>4419281
>>4419074HBR(No actual couples though), Assault Lily (Sister system, no actual couples), Reverse1999 (Yuri friendly), GBF (Has some yuri couples, but also het stuff)
>>4419281Dude calm down. Even by your own metrics it's good, it just has to stay subtext due to it being Chinese
Gakuen Aidor/u/master is now 1 year old.
>>4419074Honkai impact 3 has canon yuri with the seele and bronya stuff even if the panels were erased few years later and some of the newest chapter are some the gayest thing hoyo realsed aside from ggz.But at the end of the day there is no full on yuri gacha because investors are scared.Even something like Hbr focuses on het shit realtionships and has male npcs firt with female characters despite there being a girl that wants a yuri harem.Reverse 1999 maybe censored with the usual stuff but there was pretty much easy to interpret kiss scene and there is allot of implication of yuri but again game also has males and het shit so.
>>4419939>Even something like Hbr focuses on het shit realtionshipsretard
>>4419941Its true autismo sis.We litterly had Waki for for a man.The whole angel beats collab is about het shit.We have male npcs firting with female character.Meanwhile the devs are to scared to progress the main yuri couple beyound finger grabbing
>>4419946>We litterly had Waki for for a man.That lie has already been debunked in the thread as the hetshitter troll it isretard
>>4419957The game is litterly written by het shit writer that before this wrote buch of bs about man on yuri girl.you are giving game to much trust.
>>4419960>ESL
>>4419074You could look up videos/story chapters for TowaTsugai, which was a proper yuri coupling gacha. Of course Squeenix killed it off, but the story is still there.>>4419294>Assault Lily>no explicit couplesSomeone hasn't actually played it.
>>4419939>>4419946>>4419960I can't believe this anti-HBR schizo is still not banned. Can you stop already, nobody is falling for it. Every time you lie about the game being het, you keep moving goalposts to some nonsense like "the crossover with a het series has the characters from that series be het (not even true)!" or "b-but the author wrote het before!" or "male NPCs that appear once are into the girlsl!!!", completely irrelevant statements, you fucking clown. What are you gonna do when the second AB collab comes out and confirms the only yuri pairing from AB? Gonna whine that even though it literally makes a yuri pairing that wasn't canon before canon it is still too het? It doesn't require "trust" to just play the darn game and see that literally every facette of it is yuri. You have never once touched it and just looked up some random ragebait to copy-paste. There is no het romance in the entire game, period. The most mentions of het feelings comes from the collabs, which are not relevant to the actual game and none of the HBR characters are involved in it. Even the AB collab you didn't play and just looked a summary up of, does not actually have het romance. Some dude in it has one-sided feelings for a dead irrelevant side-character from AB. Nobody cares.
I wouldn’t call HBR het by any stretch but the Wakki stuff was absolute dogshit and the fact they made her say…>こんなことにならなかったら私…ギアラに恋していたかも しれない…一回オッケーもらえてたのに…どうしてそれを悪戯にしちゃったかな…after the already distasteful joke part makes me believe telling newbies about this part is a fair warning.But other than this HBR is a 10/10 and the only game reaching its yuri levels would be D4DJ.>>4419074HBR and D4DJ are at the very top, no contestR1999 and HI3 have heavy subtext if not outright maintext in certain partsI haven’t played Bandori in years but back when I did it was subtext. Perhaps it has gotten more explicit with MyGo and Ave Mujica but you’ll need someone else to confirm.
>>4420049I still can't believe the DJ game not only made 2 of its characters maintext, but then proceeded to do it multiple times since
>>4420049>is a fair warningA fair warning about WHAT? That a badly written OOC moment with a DEAD male character that doesn't actually mean anything will happen in 200+ hours of game to a single side-character that they afterwards showed to be attracted to girls right away?It's like... there are hundreds of games with yuri couples and actual legit het couples in them that don't get shunned on this board, but because there is a SINGLE minor implication that a character COULD be bi, suddenly HBR can be discounted? This double standard is actually fucking insane.
>>4419281Don't act like your "support" is valuable.
>>4420049eeeeeeh HI3 was very much gay at the beginningEven if its subtext now (well not speaking for part 2 i dropped the game)Bandori was also heavy subtext for Revstar but the game is dead now
>>4420069Current Part2 is heavy subtext and it’s great after the drought that Hua’s arc (literally only Vita x Griseo, as minor as that was) and early Part2 were.>>4420057>A fair warning about WHAT? That a badly written OOC moment with a DEAD male character that doesn't actually mean anything will happen in 200+ hours of game to a single side-character that they afterwards showed to be attracted to girls right away?Yes? >could be BiBisluts are gross and disgusting.>discountedNever said that; I didn’t drop it myself after all. I’m not sitting here doomposting about it at every opportunity like that schizo is either, but it is something that happens that newbies should be aware of beforehand. I appreciate similar warnings in manga and light novels personally and there’s no harm in doing the same here.
>>4420075Are you actually stupid? Literally nobody goes around warning people that a single character in a game with 50+ character cast could be POTENTIALLY bi and literally nobody would care. This is all a fabricated issue.This is the kind of shit I hate the most. Hyperfocusing on a tiny irrelevancy in favor of ignoring hundreds of hours of yuri friendly content. Those people don't care about the game or the yuri in the first place. Stop encouraging them.
>>4420028If anyone who should get banned its you for supporting this shit author that wrote litterly the worst of you can write with yuri, its way worse then just "het shit" its he specificly written male on yuri, by proxi you support this retard writer.Call me schizo all you want but i rarely post about this game now i try to ignore it but what i said is just true.You went from "omg no het" to "ah yes the girl is possibly bi" and all because of a brain dead plot point that didnt need to exist neither did the jokes need to exist but it tells you allot about the writers.Game has no reason to pussy foot arount the yuri relatonships yet it does, the best you gonna get is yuri for jokes because author has zero respect for it.While the devs push away even more yuri themes away from unions.Its baffling this board supports t it.God damn Reverse 1999 is more tasteful in its yuri and there isnt allot of it, there the kiss happens like what chapter 2, thats pretty fast even if censored.
>>4420101I'm not reading any more of your bait. Hopefully the mods will clean you up soon.
>>4420101>the best you get is yuri jokesThis moron has never touched the game and it is so obvious. This is almost insultingly ignorant.
>Star Resonance you can hold hands and princess carry other playersIf you guys want to love out your Yuri fantasies with other men.
>>4420016Right, there's no actual couples. You got any of them calling each other girlfriend x girlfriend ? No. It's still very yuri, of course.
>>4419960"man on yuri girl" I don't remember maede writing this

Question for those who play the Assault Lily gacha. I'm playing the global version and they just had this new mission to clear multiplayer battles. Which apparently don't count legion matches or foreign campaigns and are something very specific which I'm not actually sure I've seen before. Unless it's that stupid event multiplayer which is basically the same as the normal events excepting you cannot skip it or speed it up.Except we don't have that event atm, and they strangely released 2 events at the same time, 1 new one and another a rerun of the Yuri event which came out not that long ago. While we still have 2 other events running anyway. Did they just fuck it up or what? The rerun is what seems weird to me but they also released the gacha for it as well so...Incidentally does anyone know if Yuri with the newer 3% damage buff would ever get added to the gacha? Or it's real money only like some of the others?
>>4426194Unrelated but does anyone else think it's sad the guild bot sends out dead messages asking how it's members are doing?
>>4427107I'm just glad emotes work for the dailies. It'll be sad if I have to actually type something.So because of that, I think I just gloss over it.Sometimes I wish I can ask just one more to do the foreign campaigns though, I've more or less managed to get one other for it, but the quests needs 3 members. So that 2/3 is taunting me.But just joining a convo can be hard, so is typing into the void. They should make an emote for that. Doubly so as I can't tell if the other members even speak English.Also while I'm at it. I find it odd how my guild leader is probably logging in once per day per the UI. Yet has more or less remained at the same rank for forever.At least they made me sub-leader probably because I'm the only other active one so I can prune if necessary. But the last time I pruned I suddenly got stuck in a time where no one joined for a bit so that was an issue. At least after the current rejoining bonus shit my guild is maxed again. Can even hit the max level foreign campaigns now so that's nice.Still suck at pvp though, and how the fuck are there full active guilds out there.
I knew my Deja Vu was not unfounded
>>4427107Back when the Charmy "feature" was introduced in JP, a common question in tweets was how to disable it. A running gag in the broadcast livestreams is "abusing" the Charmy plushie(s) on the table in various ways so it seems like the dev team are aware that the mascot isn't well-received, at least.I don't play the "global" version but I wonder if Charmy comes across as a weird thing with no context for newcomers to the series.
>>4427380It personally does to me but I can't imagine many people enjoying it either
>>44235382 weeks
How many more girls can they marry off before the end of the month do you think?
>>4404020>>4404189Zaphi is an absolute treasure and there's a decent amount of art on twitter, still going strong.
>>4430643This is it. We have taken the record from CG. T7S is now the oldest Idolge in service.
Lupa From Wuthering wave had a yuri ism patner, Rover had a lot woman to scissor
>>4441609Actual yuri like HBR gets hate and here people are trying to shill this ML slop for straight males as yuri. Fuck off.
>>4442850You must understand that poster is obviously Indonesian
>>4442852Another anon, It's forbidden to talk about yuri on HBR Indonesia group, people who like yuri got kicked and banned
>>4442880How does that work when yuri is integral to the characters and their arcs
>>4442880Unsurprising really... >>4442891Girl, have you met the avg Indonesian gacha player? Insanely homophobic
>>4442945Then why are they playing a very gay game?
>>4443083They are also not very bright
>>4404001So Uma Musume global came out. I've ignored those threads and the anime back in the day, but can anybody tell me how yuri the game actually is? I only remember something about a couples dance event that seemed pretty gay.>>4436544Is this Assault Lily?
>>4443808Not that much, but there's some ships like Daiwa x Vodka
Yes it's Assault Lily
>>4443813Honestly I'm amazed Assault Lily is still going. It never felt very popular to me at any point, but apparently they still even do the occasional live show in Japan.
>>4443815It's one of the longest lasting yuri franchises at this point.
>>4443812Ok, I'm sure there are plenty of various ships, but those are in any game, even if there is no yuri at all. I'm asking how much the game itself supports said ships or how much it leans into the yuri subtext.Also you technically play as the "trainer" right? Also the game seems to have some kind of breeding option between the horse girls? So yuri procreation is a thing?
>>4443808People shipped IRL Nishino Flower and Seiun Sky and so in the game they are sort of a subtexty couple.
>>4443815>>4443818Is Re:Stage! still alive?
>>4443844People shipped the... real life horses?
>>4443865It just celebrated 7 years of servicer.
>>4444373I read it was released in July 31 2017, so it should be 8 years at the end of the month.That's almost twice as long as Assault Lily, and it's even more niche, I'm impressed.
>>4444379Franchise-wise Assault Lily is like 20 years old, so it's just the gacha and the other Bushiroad stuff that is relatively recent. They already had stage plays long before Bushiroad took it over too.
>>4444383I assumed we were talking gacha here.
>>4443869It can be said that several couples feed on the real-life horses, that Grass is a perverted stalker obsessed with Spe, is in itself the fault of the horse who was too happy to be with the real Spe.
>>4444385Yes, but that's an important aspect of the series' popularity, it means that there was already a fanbase that was there before most people here even knew about the franchise in the first place.>>4444379That's the difference between having a truly dedicated fan base and the mainstream idiots who follow things out of fashion or habit, but at the slightest hint of nonsense can simply abandon and even pretend they were never fans.
it seems like they may have removed the female mc option in azur promulia which is a big shame but it's chink game so it was to be expected
>>4444895Any confirmation? One one hand it sucks because it was a guaranteed female-only cast, but on the other hand this guarantees I’ll never pick it up and I can instead wait for others whose aesthetic/concept I like more like Silver Palace or Rewinding Cadence
>>4444895>>4444902She’s present in the latest promo material they’ve posted, where are you getting this from?
>>4444385>>4444450It's worth mentioning that the gacha started out trying to pick up where the anime left off but is now leaning heavily on the live action plays and Fumi's Twitter, which have more input from the creator himself (it's widely accepted that the Twitter account is run by Obanazawa).Without Last Bullet, the rest of the series will still chug along. With Last Bullet, there is another platform to bring in newcomers (although I doubt newcomers can follow the storylines easily when that is their gateway to the series) and tell stories which are harder to present in a live action format.
>>4444910Because the devs hate yuri with passion
>>4444967Then why the hell would they use her in the new promo material they posted literally today
>>4444895>>4444967>spreading misinformation where the only evidence is your own schizophrenic delusionsClassic.
>>4443865>>4444373>>4444379Corrections. Re:Stage is actually 9 years old. The original LN was released in 2016.
>>4444967Take your meds.
>>4445029>>4445093>>4445313Shut up, ganging up on me just cause you can0t handle the truth!
>>4445029>>4445093They quite litterly ban yuri from diiscord and sometimes even the players for merely implaying yuri ever since the anime drama.
>>4445336>>4445341Then why is the female mc still in the game/being used for promo material, braindead ESL retard?
>>4445341Are you confused? There’s no Azur Promulia anime. What anime drama?
>>4445362He’s talking about Azur Lane’s anime and the situation around it and applying it to AP despite them being completely different (and the former obviously not having a female mc)
>>4445363NTA. Wait Azur Lane it's doing a GFL? I thought they didn't care about the yuri of the franchise.
>>4445363>>4445368>>Azur Lane’s animeWas there drama? I just remember a group of idiots complaining that the series didn't have an admiral and didn't save all the girls at the end by showing off their virility, since women are useless without a man.
>>4445371I remember most drama was also about the production issues causing poor art and animation , which led to Yostar making their own studio
>>4445371Well we saw Enterprise's "virility" in the anime.
>>4445371Anon here yea that, it also caused them to crack down on yuri hard in their fan circles
>>4445373That's why they got angry, that something that is the admiral's property should show independence, it's something they couldn't accept, even KanColle had equally stupid complaints, also against yuri and that the girls belong to the admiral, all without any irony.>>4445374>>it also caused them to crack down on yuri hard in their fan circlesThat's sad and pathetic at the same time, the second Azur Lane anime was simply terrible, no funny fanservice and girls not shutting up about a man who doesn't even appear, characters whose most memorable feature was their designs and nothing else.
>>4445479Probably it hurts more that Enty became so unpopular that they don't want to show her anymore but at the same time she has a personality that lets you just headcanon her as the admiral with little to no effort.
>>4445341wow seems like the devs are a bunch of losers even though thier boss is woman? i can't believe it's almost 2026 and we still have backward people like that
>>4445774You are the loser, they love yuri and they rock.Dismissed.
>>4445297Should stop speed reading.10 years~https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re:%E3%82%B9%E3%83%86%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B8!
>>4404001Feb 26https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJazbGwBh-E
>>4404001We're doing a new yuri game recommendation survey/list in the game thread and Gacha games are allowed. So anybody here who has suggestions, please post them here! >>4447266Or you can reply to this post and I will collect them anyway.
Why do people thing they're removing FeMC from Azur Promilia? Hell, Yostar is developing Stella Sora which also has FeMC option.
>>4447786Heaven Burns Red - TBSD4DJ - Rhythm gameBoth have VN-like sections as their main way of story presentation, up to you if you want to stick that tag to them
>>4448051I guess HBR is sort of a JRPG in its own way.D4DJ is a bit... I get that there is one yuri couple, but most of the game doesn't focus on that, right? And it also has hetshit?This is supposed to be a yuri focused recommendation list. I'm not too familiar with gacha, but I guess something like TowaTsugai or Assault Lily might be more relevant.
>>4448640The game for Towa Tsugai EOS-ed long ago though. As for Assault Lily, I doubt the game is a good entry point to the whole series in general, especially the non-Japanese version with its iffy translation.
>>4449121Had to look up what EOS means. So it died already? I only remember people raving about it for being 100% yuri years ago. I only watched the Assault Lily anime and was already confused, so you're probably right.
Some Assault Lily songs for the anniversary. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odAjM8PN-UQ>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMQMbqjnsMk
>>4450283Are they singing about how much they love each other?
>>4450283>2 sets of new songs this year alreadygood for them, it thought this game was just slowly cruising to EoS at this point
>>4450324A 4.5 year anniversary seems suspicious to me. Wouldn't you wait for 5 years?
>>4450331They also had a 2.5 anniversary, it's just how they do it.Also they already had some kind of 5th anniversary concert earlier in the year.
>>4447865There was some drama with Azur Promilia where concept art of male NPCs were leaked, among all the outrage some of the incels demanded male MC be the only option, and FeMC be removed or made a waifu. As an aside, AP is entirely developed and published by Manjuu, Yostar has no involvement in that game.
>playing MementoMori AFKRPG>new girl is obsessed with another girl>it'd be the perfect yuri couple if not for the fact that the other girl is actively attempting to ship the new girl with the (canon) male MCW E WI don't think I've ever seen that happen in any media. At least there's still Amleth and Ophelia…
>>4451477>male MC>plays the trash anywayHow about you screw off?
>>4451477Sis thats a trope as old as time even granblue has it
>>4451720Tell that to everyone who plays any of the iM@S games
>>4451733Doesn't Granblue let you choose between male and female?
>>4452175I do. Literally all the time. I tell them to their fucking face that shit isn't yuri and doesn't belong on this board.
>>4452178Yeah it does. That guy is actually retarded.
>>4452178Well yea but that dosnt make it better
>>4452328It literally makes it a completely different scenario because no dude is involved, which makes it better by default, you imbecile.
Granblue fantasy has a canon yuri couple but i don´t remember who, anyone know?
>>4454517Meg and Mari maybe? Or Cupitan with somebody?
>>4454525Yes, the second one
>>4454517Cupitan & Tristette
New Meg & Mari art
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qMoJ32Ists&t=1m52sMeg teaser.
>>4455120You know what they classic line already for this baord
>>4452536How so ? the prono materiual is always male, anime is male.Settling for scraps is never good.So its no diffrent. female mc is such non character you dont even hear about her through osmosis.So no its not diffrent when the trope exist specific because of males serlfinserting
AP is looking good, can’t wait
>>4458874>the prono materiual is always male, anime is male.>Settling for scraps is never good.Promo materials and the anime are "scraps". The main content of the series is the game, in which Djeeta is always playable.
>>4447786In case anyone is curious about the results, these 6 gacha were added to the recommendation list in the end:-Exedra-HBR-D4DJ-GBF-R1999-Assault Lily
>>4460199Good stuff, cheers
Any upcoming stuff that might be good for yuri? Ananta and silverpalace I heard of, and Azur promilia I guess.
>>4460199Looking at the other entries at the list (https://rentry.org/6zzcs94q), I probably can give some input for GBF and Last Bullet to use in the list template, would anons have something they can contribute for the rest?"Synopsis:Recommendation:Yuri content:Tags:Available at:"
>>4460199Is -Assault Lily a yuri game or is it yuri bait like heaven burn red with male npcs ?
>>4460758Both are moron
>>4460758>>yuri bait Don't use words that you clearly don't understand what they mean.
>>4460771"Bait" is already a term that lost all meaning because people keep throwing it around as a label for things they don't like.I doubt anyone claiming that Assault Lily as a series is "not yuri" has much of a leg to stand on, but Last Bullet is also not the best platform to showcase the breadth or depth of how gay it is. Off the top of my head: the Takane/Kanaho kiss was in live action, the significance of Suzume being Kurena's assumed long-lost "other half" (the canon terminology is literally "mates") isn't obvious without reading supplemental material and watching Odaiba TSA, Hibari and Fumi's bond gets tons of development outside the event where Hibari proposed to Fumi to formalize their oath sister relationship, etc. Outside of Hitotsuyanagitai (who already are falling out of focus), Hervarar and Gran Eple, most of the characters on the ever-increasing roster don't have much screen time as it is. And I typed all this from the perspective of a day 1 JP player, I suppose players from the "global" version with the questionable translation will have a harder time.
>>4460760I will stand on the hill of the Hbr being bait since ever since they brought back male characters and dialogue with them even tho there was no need for it with how it was handled and knowing authors past dosnt help.But thats just me i understand peoples attachment to it even if the progress bettwen pairs slowed down to a crawl instead of progressing in terms of realtionships.People can feel free to enjoy the game of course but for me it kinda got ruined.People have diffrent lines they can stomach and for me that line was crossed.Its borderline as bad as some ggz stuff for me
who cares about wakki and some dead guy?
>>4461164Nobody. But it's not like the game will ever feature explicit Yuri either. I hope it dies after what they pulled for this half ani. Just to serve as an example that this is the one thing you never do in gacha.
>>4460760I wouldn't say AL is bait. Wish the couples would do explicit stuff, but that's a rarity in gacha. It has plenty yuri, though you can a lot of it is...and I know we hate this term: male gazey
>>4461692I should have been clearer. I think neither are bait
>>4460757If you got any input you are welcome to give it, though I think I can handle it, because I do my research on each entry (just didn't get to the gacha section yet).
>>4460874This fucking troll has been doing this for over a year. Will you ever get tired of shitpositng about HBR? What is your goddamn obssession? You are so easily countered it's pathetic that you still come back and try. You have been beaten 2 times in this thread alone. Give. Up.
>>4462707because they are not, for something to be bait, something has to end in explicit Het, that's how it really works, shiptease is not bait.
>>4462822Isn't that bait and switch?Bait would be more "look here's Yuri come here", with nothing else ever happening after.
>>4462822Assault Lily has canon yuri though, so it's not even just shiptease.
>>4462823That's shiptease, it doesn't only apply to yuri but to everything that insinuates or pretends romance, it also exists in Het, but hetfags always pretend that all Het is canon (that's why you shouldn't believe anything the Hetfags say)>>4462825The real problem lies in people who refuse to accept any forms of yuri other than what they like.
>>4462829>it doesn't only apply to yuri but to everything that insinuates or pretends romance, it also exists in HetNTA but yes, bait isn't a yuri-exclusive code word, it's a common noun/verb, and a fitting description for this context.
>>4462748The latest update to the GBF main story also heaps on Lyria/MC. I like Djeeta's design better than Gran's anyway so I've always played as Djeeta, and despite the long wait between main story updates this one was quite worth the wait. It's nothing as clear-cut compared to Katalina/Vira or Cupitan/Risette but having additional detail into how deep and intense the bond between Lyria and Djeeta (or Gran, although we're all here for Djeeta after all) goes was good.That said, I suppose newcomers to GBF who actually start playing for yuri pairings are going to take a long time to reach this point at a normal unrushed rate of progression. Perhaps it wouldn't hurt to have a note of some sort, to manage expectations?
>>4462884>DjeetaThe female self-insert is not that great of a selling point, especially when she gets ignored by most media, but it's something. Would be anyway, if you didn't just tell me it's not even explicit...>I like the design better anywayIs that honestly the only reason you would pick a female protag over a male one? Gacha players really don't seem to gel will with /u/.>Katalina/ViraLast I checked that wasn't a canon couple. Vira's feelings were one-sided or something and they even tried to "fix" her obssession by instead pairing her up with the MC... which turns Vira from a believable lesbian into a bislut. Disgusting.>have a note about the slowburnI intended that from the start. GBF is clearly not a yuri game, it just happens to have some... eventually. And for superficial people Djeeta having the usual self-insert flirting with some female party members will be enough.I'd rather you listed the pairings that are actually confirmed gay (though that list is probably just two pairings) and which ones are close to confirmed.
>>4462887>Vira's feelings were one-sided or something and they even tried to "fix" her obssession by instead pairing her up with the MCShort answer: No.Long answer: Don't believe everything you read from the internet or people who haven't progressed far in the game. Vira is still into Katalina, she just handles it in a less unhinged manner. On Katalina's end her dying thoughts are of Vira, and post-death her journey/flashback/whatever she is doing at this time is also to do with Vira. It isn't as explicitly romantic/sexual as Vira's feelings are for her, though considering it's Katalina she isn't going to have a relationship of the same nature with anyone else, even Lyria or the captain.As for Cupitan and Trisette, the last encounter between them had Cupitan get her powerup by daring Trisette to kill her before she kills Trisette. I'm not expecting a happy ending for those two but damn it sure is captivating to watch.
>>4462889So are people saying Vira is flirting with and clearly pushed more towards the self-insert protag lying or are you just saying she also still cares about Katalina? >spoilersI'm not impressed, not gonna lie.>Cupitan and Tristette Toxic yuri, of course. Never can have anything stable or nice for the yuri crowd in these kinds of games. Sigh.I wish Cygames would stop being cowards and just make AnneGrea canon. They clearly want to. They made an entire anime for the ship. Every card set about them in Shadowverse is gayer than the last. Though of course in GBF they are just side-characters.
>>4462890When it comes to gacha games and developrs yuri couples are fine for them as long as they are made for the protag, or have any sort of that kind of interaction.Its less about them being cowards and more about that they just dont like it and wont do it because they dont really care for yuri.If they made canon couples they are very well aware of drama that would couse if they didnt pander to mc also
>>4462891And yet D4DJ, Madoka, HBR, TowaTsugai, Assault Lily etc. etc. prove that some devs actually have a brain and can cater to yuri with real couples.It is 100% cowardice to avoid making yuri couples real when you set them up on purpose. AnneGrea becoming canon would get them infinitely more points than it would lose them, especially with ancient franchises like this.GBF waited this long with any explicit yuri (and more yuribait too) because they were scared it would repel people early on, but at this point they can do whatever they want and the whales will stick around.This cowardice only backfires, because it satisfies nobody. Who looks at AnneGrea constantly getting yuri subtext in everything they are in and only focus on each other and then believes this helps self-insertfags? On the other hand their refusal to make it canon upsets the yuri fans who actually support the pairing. It's just cowardice that leads to an overall worse experience, a total lack of artistic integrity and a strong guiding hand. That is the essence of most gacha.
>>4462890The idea that Vira is "flirting with" and "clearly" pushed more towards Gran/Djeeta is inaccurate. You seem to have your mind made up about the opinions you have formed though, going off your choice of words here.
>>4462893I asked you a direct question and you keep using evasive phrasing, so maybe look at your own wording before you make assumption on mine...I wanna know where those claims came from if they aren't based on things actually happening in the game, but it seems you refuse to acknowledge them. It's one anon's word against other anons words. All the same to me.I don't know what you want from me though. Your summary was doomed yuri, toxic yuri and vague allusions to yuri. It's not really a great line-up, but I will include those pairings as something to look out for in the summary.
Reminder that GBF has canon het couples, so they are clearly not opposed to screwing the self-insert crowd as long as it is het.
>>4462894Found the Lich seething in the wild. Pic related.All jokes aside, from the start, GBF was not a game to get in for people looking for only yuri pairings. It's tedious, outdated, endlessly grindy, the new producer on board has made some questionable decisions, and the writing is sometimes awful.If you really want an ELI5 detailed explanation despite supposedly checking on the GBF characters mentioned in this thread:- Vira starts out unhealthily obsessed with Katalina due to a combination of various factors. When they reunite during the Albion arc she tries making Katalina stay with her, and almost succeeds because Katalina felt guilt over throwing the duel that resulted in Vira being made the lord of Albion.- Obviously this does not happen. Vira is treated as a recurring character or semi-permanent crew member depending on the situation, though, and still shows up during major storylines.- During her student days, Vira was detached from and uninterested in most people who weren't Katalina and her fixation on Katalina is depicted as Katalina being the one person she cares about. After joining the crew, she has to interact with the crew members more frequently. This is also in part because of encouragement from the primal she is bonded to.- Vira learns to interact with and form social relationships with people other than Katalina, including Lyria and the captain and other crew members. This does not mean she got over her feelings for Katalina or moved on to somebody else.
>>4462899Is that a picture for ants?! I have to zoom in so far that it's all pixels... I assume you are saying the girls on the right are in the fireworks pic on the left?>despite checking on the GBF characters in this threadI in fact looked through this board's actual GBF threads in the archives, as well as external sites. I didn't bother to remember all the pairings that are just "subtext" though.>Vira didn't move on from KatalinaGood, I didn't think she did, which is why I asked it that was what anon meant.So what is this stuff about My Room lines by Vira that are clearly flirty about? I know it's the pathetic nature of waifu gacha to have those (even yuri coded characters like Anne, Grea, Socie, Yuel, Silva etc. get those), but from what I read that was a later addition for Vira.I have no stake in this. Even if Vira was only completely obssessed with Katalina it would still not make them a canon couple. I was just remarking on it because people seemed upset about it in those threads.
>>4462905>My Room This isn't FGO>waifu gachaGBF caters (or tries) to the yurifag crowd, yaoi fujoshi crowd, and people who like het ships. And lately there has been pandering to the crowd who likes NB characters. I can't complain about that last one because Fediel/Miach is actually quite a funny couple plus she calls Miach a girl.The characters who are down bad for the captain are those like Clarisse and Hecate who make no secret of it. Vira is not one of those characters.
>>4462910>This isn't FGOI was just using the most commonly applied term anon... stop being so hard to work with.This is a feature in the game, please let's at least get this straight. I can literally look up the lines for Valentines and so on on the GBF wiki if I must.>it caters to everyone! All sexualities!Except only het ships are canon. Even Cupitan/Tristette is only "canon" because of a kiss from what I understand. As anon implied earlier, it's clearly not a stable ship with a happy ending in sight. Do I really have to point out why catering to everyone while only giving hetshitters preferential treatment is not great? If they really didn't wanted to be so diverse, they could at least commit.
>>4462912Why is this anon so hung up on Valentine's lines when (You), the MC, is supposed to have spent at least 5 Valentine's with the crew members, Meg clearly ages over the course of her debut event, yet the captain still doesn't get any older and isn't allowed to drink alcohol.Harping on about "canon" and then not accepting a pairing that literally kisses onscreen is too mindboggling for me.
>>4462914I ndont even understand that counter-argument. What does aging up have to do with anything? The damn point was that the game caters to waifufags by making the characters nigh universally attracted to them or flirt with them. Even if its only in this stupid stuff.>not accepting a pairing who kissedAre you retarded or something? Where did I say I didn't accept the pairing? All I said was that it's not a stable ship. At least try to keep up...
https://x.com/ALBbySonet_EN/status/1959818278639133070EOS announced for "international" Last Bullet. JP version is still chugging along just fine though, this probably doesn't impact JP much if at all.Out of curiosity, are there any non-JP players in this thread? How far has the story/events gotten until now?
>>4463848awww i wanted to get into it
>>4463848They just added the part where they are forming the new Gran Eple.Pity really, translation issues aside, they were fairly generous. And for the most part I got the gist of the story so it was fine.Well, as long as you ignore how they still spell 1st as 1nd and I think they marked Fumi as a second year...Haruna had an interesting intro too so I was looking forward to her being added, then the game got EoSed right after...
>>4463848I played it over a year ago and the online battles were pretty dead, the legion I belonged to had like 2-3 people who actually played, the rest were cpu controlled and we still made it to the top 10 ranking.So yeah, surprised it made it this far, to be honest.
>>4463856The next JP story update is likely to be Kanba/Gran Eple-centric so I suppose there is some irony in the timing.The student council members introduced that arc are all pretty neat and get at least one or two interesting storylines:- Akehi started out implied to be some sinister authority figure out to get 5-member version Gran Eple, compared to how she is depicted now, the disparity is incredible - Fujino's airheadedness is hilarious and I am now sad that the Fujino Restaurant miniseries shall be a JP-only thing- Haruna is so loud and OTT as though to play into the brash American (returnee) stereotype but her and Himeka are a fun pairing that plays off each other well, which gives her a few more endearing layers that go deeper than how she comes across at first glance. - Suzume is the biggest breakout character out of them all, though considering her storyline(s) it should be expected. Girl has been through so much horrible stuff that she well deserves the nice things and friendships she finally has in the present.I like the four of them a lot.
>>4463905>Akehi started out implied to be some sinister authority figure out to get 5-member version Gran Eple, compared to how she is depicted now, the disparity is incredibleI've probably forgotten that part by now. But the current one is where they reveal the underground Huge so they need to reorg Gran Eple to be able to do the full Neunwelt. And I never got that impression. She seems pretty reasonable to me.Though now that I've typed that out, I vaguely remember that Haruna's first intro did have her gathering intel so probably that.>HarunaWhat was interesting about her intro was actually how, keeping in mind translation issues, her intro made her seem like a childhood friend love rival, yes I know she's a cousin but since when has that stopped anything. But she's not and all three of them has even played together before back then. The concept is inspiring.Also frankly another thing I was looking forward to was finally completing another school's full 9 lily legion. Only Yurigaoka's Hitsunoyagi-tai has that. The others I basically had to add on somehow to fill them up. Current concept is basically the other school's leader and main ship, 5+2+2. So I was looking forward to finishing up Alfheim and also the new Gran Eple. And I know Alfheim already has that, but I wanted the improved second wave costumes.
