Not actually dead, but might as well be.

Doesn't mean shit, this is the second time he resigns
>>
>>684024585
Left out a major detail.
It was his successor who he personally trained who has been a shadow producer for some 3 years now.
This caused some worry when it was revealed, because everyone could see the change in direction and how much the game has declined in that time period.

Yep, it confirmed our worries
>>
>>684023246
their yearly summer stream announced that eternals/evokers (their completely f2p characters gated by heavy grinding and farming) are going to get p2w seasonal limited alts
for the entirety of the game's lifespan any collabs they had would have free collab units (usually 2~3) but now collabs will give 2 and lock 2 behind a limited gacha pool (aka super FOMO bait)
the current producer claimed he's been grooming a secret successor who's been managing the game for the last 3 years (where a noticeable decline in quality, artwork, music, etc. started alongside massive nerfs to f2p setups and extreme whalebait) and that he and the creative director are stepping away from the game. and they didn't even announce who the producer was, either. also all of their recent seasonal additions have been boring humans, the draph race (the shortstack cows) are getting reworked to look more like humans as well (they're all looking taller and no longer have shortstack proportions)
male characters are flat out nude/wearing speedos.
tl;dr the devs gave a massive middle finger to the playerbase, expect said playerbase to paypig even more than they are already, and washed their hands clean and walked away.
>>
>>684025260
So it's safe to assume Cygames has given up on Granblue as an IP and Relink didn't do enough then.

relink did an amazing job but almost a decade of dev hell probably ate up whatever money they made from it. if you looked at the achievement stats on steam literally over half of the people who bought it completely finished the story and epilogue and everything, and there was a solid ~100k players on at all times for about a month or so. the playercount fell off pretty hard because the game, while good, only has so much going for it in the endgame.
they also said they considered relink to be complete and won't be updating it further despite fans begging for new content/dlc/literally anything (and all they did was sell palette swaps and emotes)
I also forgot to mention that an artist from cygames' art team quit because cygames is pushing their art team to start using AI in their creation process
it's extremely frustrating because I genuinely loved the game and the IP but holy fucking shit it's mismanaged to fucking badly. all because the people in charge don't care about it. I'm never going to play any gacha game ever again.

>>684025781
9001 years in ms paint but here's the most recent example. the summer version on the right is her most recent alt

I don't know, people tend to overestimate/exaggerate a 20-30cm difference,

Correct me if I’m wrong but hasn’t Granblue really only been the successful Cygames outside of Japan?
I know Uma still doesn’t have a global release, Dragalia Lost was killed, Princess Connect was also killed outside of Japan, and I have no idea for Shadowverse.

The only person who matters with these things is the game developer. 千年戦争アイギス has been around for a decade and only got better after their crappy Producer WankoP disappeared to be replaced by two other dudes. The head game developer is still around with their sprite artists, unhindered by WankoP's bad ideas. One of the sprite artists got super pissed on Twitter during an early interview when WankoP made it sound like the game's success was all him, and not the developer, writers, and artists.

Granblue Fantasy is fine so long as the people working on the game, doing the writing, coding, and art are still there.

>>684029859
The wierd thing is that they aren't even AI-arting properly. AI can do Harvin and Draph proportions, but whatever Cygames is using is failing at that. It's making Payila and Izmir and others look human.

The irony with the live service model is that eventually the game will simply become too bloated with power creep and content as to render it inaccessible to any newfags. Imagine if Final Fantasy was still stuck at #1 and all the sequels up to XVI are bunched together under one roof, intrinsically connected in some ways. It would be overwhelming for anyone who isn't already invested (with sunk cost) from the early days.

rather than malice i think it's incompetence and greed. they don't understand why people love the game and its characters and push too hard in all of the wrong directions
you can kinda see it with their two biggest red flags from the stream:
>gacha alts of f2p units they previously said will always stay f2p
"well people clearly like these characters so let's monetize them further"
>collab units being put into the gacha
(and fyi KMR deliberately pushed for this) "well people wanted more collab characters so there's their chance to get them for a price
and also other things like character growth being stunted to prevent any possible alienation from fans
endlessly pushing the same rotating cast of "popular" characters
being safe horny by only focusing on humans/humans but magic/humans with animal ears instead of draphs, harvins, or non-humanoids

I remember reading a theory (I don't know if its still relevant) which was told as "the real truth" behind GBF being an absolute shitfest and the idea was that the game was never meant to be THE title that represents the company when somebody mentions it, but rather as a mean to an end (use their revenue to fund games they actually wanted to develop), which led to dragalia lost (fucking flopped.) and princess connect (flopped too.)

So they're stuck in a strange relationship where they want to keep milking it but also kill it to have people realize they're not "one trick ponies" whose peak was GBF.

Live service games only have a 5~ year lifespan.
Anything after 5 years is often them dragging out as a zombie barely improving, barely getting new players and it's existence is just kept going to milk the old fanbase too deep to quit.

Everything pre-2018 that was big or well known is obscure now. Another year (if not already) Azur lane and Arknights will be in that pile of

>>684030213
which is why lots of gachas are getting sequels/spinoff lately, so they can sucker in people who rightfully think the old one is obtuse and janky

>>684032058
In the public media hype circles maybe, but I doubt that 5 years is the lifespan when shit like FGO, FEH and even Puzzle and Dragons still make the amount of revenue last year as Elden Ring's combined global sales in 2022.

There's some rare exceptions, but 5 years is when things enter a state of gradual decline.
Puzzle and dragons is a major exception, DBZ dokkan is another but do you know what they all have in common? They are BIG gacha. Everything you've listed has been absolutely huge, major attention brought to it and incredibly well known with an already large fanbase or established a huge one.
FEH is barely still going honestly even if it's making money.

Your average gacha is more like Dragalia lost. 90% of gacha fit Dragalia lost's fanbase size at best.
>>
>>684033752
Yeah, and women are the majority of successful manga artists and players of traditional in-depth games that aren't Bubble Pop. And that's why the whole world needs to revolve around women.

Give me a break. Gacha players who want to roll the male characters are in 24/7 cope mode, and anyone who's being honest knows it. Also, those fujos can hold up like one hit series once every year or two, and it's not due to lack of trying from the industry.

Umamusume is going to get a new mode next month and expect people to whale for the support card because otherwise you won't be competitive without the 5 dupes.
fuck that game. They really raped it with power creep, and the power creep isn't even in the horses but in the game modes being increasingly easier to get ridiculously overcap stats.

Priconne went to shit after it's first story arc ended, it's been stumbling around with the second arc but with how much they started to pump out alt characters it's clear they are just milking it.

I know a couple of Fujos that was into GBF and getting off to fanfics of having the dragon knights fuck each other. two tried genshin but both passed at starrail despite that being the same kind of woman-pandering shit.

It's more that Fujo/Yumejo WAS a less tapped market. There market for Otaku was at the time spread a lot thinner than Fujo/Yumejo so games in general made the move to pull in some big spenders of the other gender.
That's why snowbreak had a huge spike after it ditched it's fujo/yumejo pandering. It didn't hit the female audience so they ditch it to focus more on the otaku and the drought of otaku waifu pandering games in recent years made it get attention.

I've only ever had a casual understanding of granblue and cygames, I thought they were based because they were taking their gacha money and putting it into other projects. Like the PC and VR Zone of the Enders 2 exists because cygames funded it. Did something change and they sold out?

No, they are just spiralling out of control for various reasons. Granblue which has always been omnipandering is now speedrunning EOS as the game for gays and troons, Drag and Flip EOSed, Uma is on a coilflip, Priconne couldn't adapt to it's conpetition, Shadowba is in limbo.

This is one of the reasons I kind of like them. They are still relatively a young company only recently dipping big on the big leagues so they are still kind of in that clumsey stage where they have a lot of money but ofter fuck up big too. Reminder that they intended to release the umamusume gacha around the time of the anime's 1st season but delayed it so far up until S2 which ended up being legendary and boosted sales to the point of raping genshin.

the fundamental problem with grub and many other gachashits for that matter is that it is essentially a game designed to make you not want to play it. basically the only content in the game that you are only expected to do once is reading the story. literally everything else is a slave tier grind where you are expected to do the same thing hundreds or even thousands of times. the ultimate goal of every grubber is being able to 1t0b everything in the game so you can skip the grind as fast as possible. the intermediate goal is being able to fa everything so at least you can pay attention to something else. the core mechanism of the game is the developers presenting players with a grind, and then offering ways to make it shorter by paying money. the entire system relies on a few thousand extremely mentally ill individuals who accept this slavery, all for the dopamine hit of ranking in gw, and the rest of the player base who goes along with it since the other lemmings are doing it so that must be how the game is supposed to be played.

>>684038381
Fights like LuciHL and SUBHL are fun RPG puzzles though, the actual game within this hellish gacha grind is well designed. Wish there was an actual vidya like it.
>>
>>684038381
there's an audience for grindy progression games, like elona and disgaea, both games I love dearly. it's a small audience for sure, but grub scratched an itch no other live service game could.
>>
>>684039197
maybe for the first few times you do them. the game expects you to fight them hundreds of times each though so you will still be doing them long after you have solved the puzzle and they stop being fun.

>>
>>684040217
if they released a sequel i'd prefer it being a different genre or having a completely different battle system
if they remade the same game but forced you to run it through an app that'd kill it overnight because so many systems are balanced around the tweaks a browser offers. things like f5 and bookmarks make it so much faster to play compared to a traditional gacha in a container.
there's also the whole thing where the game itself is extremely lightweight (literally just a browser tab).
>>
>>684030761
and due to how the reward numbers were distributed if you happened to hit tier 1 or 2 you likely got multiples of them. Think it was like 49% of people got Tier 4 only, the rest got mostly 1-2. So very feast or famine. Then they gave everyone a Tier 2 reward, but even the people who had won previously won again so it felt pretty shitty.

basically people getting 1000$ vs 6$ in stickers or some shit, was terrible

Anon, Arknights is massive enough that it's only really beaten out by even more massive gacha like FGO. And much like Nasu, they've branched out into a bunch of different stuff lately specifically to have fallbacks in the event the gacha goes under.

The only real problem that Arknights has is that the lore is too fucking dense.

Man, i just got Relink after finally upgrading my toaster and it is almost everything i wanted from Granblue, the game oozes soul and clear genuine passion from the art and design teams.
But at the same time i'm not surprised the gacha is declining, i dropped it like 5 years ago, it is a nightmare to play, the only reason you endure it is because the characters and stories, but that can only take you so far when your competitors are starting to put the same and above quality while making their games easier and more casual friendly.

I quit Granblue a few months ago, ironically because I got a larger income. Played GBF because I was a poorfag and it was "free" but spent more money on it than I care to admit.
Now that I actually have expendable income, I've lost all interest in gachas. Found that pretty funny ironically.
It was M3 droprates that broke me, too. "Why am I doing this" 2000 fights into a single element only to realize there's 5 more to do

Honestly the gacha is so overbloated with useless SSRs and systems at this point they should just release a 3d Relinkesque gacha. They already have the assets and know-how since they have their own studio to make these types of games since Plat forced their hand but I wonder if its too late to do that even now what with all the competitors eating up the marketshare for 3d gacha.
>>
>>684051917
They need to fucking clean the slate and fire literally anyone involved with old GBF except from music, old art and whoever came up with Draphs.
Relink-esque game with a hard reset setting.
Redo the world building and lore, and keep a fucking masterfile and clear end goal in sight this time around.
Stop focusing so much on humans and give the other races content.
Delete angels, they have done nothing but damage the setting.
And stop fucking focusing on homoshit and fujobait, they don't fucking play your game.

The game has about a 75:25 ratio of male to female playable characters, and most of the NPCs are female too. Granblue actually has one of the highest proportions of female characters in gacha games, way more than FGO and Genshin.
