Jesus new fucking game when??? And yes, I want actual turn base jrpg, xcom-style, not whatever the fuck they were doing in the recent game
Ohji Hiroi is 71. Shin bombed. I seriously doubt he has any pull to get more money to make a new game.So your answer is never.Sadly
>>720365986Yes, truly sad news, he is like the peak of 80s 90s anime vibe Could he just give the series to, idk, atlus or sth?
>>720364467No sorry, instead of a real game we just got all the characters you like will forever be stuck in the pocket dimension where they're raped 24/7 by demons.
>>720364467>I've never played a Sakura Wars gameWe know, OP.
>>720364467Unfortunately the mainstream audiences don't want that and don't care
>>720366307Hot, if only we could actually see that
>>720366369Exp33 said otherwise
>>720364467I just want more Gemini tbqh.
>>720364467>>720365986Wasn't it already confirmed or leaked that Sega was making a new Sakura Wars game? I remember reading an article about that a while back.
>>720366307Why do you guys turn everything into cuckoldry?
I want to play Erica's game more than anything else. Only just not enough to learn Japanese for it.
>>720366496Sorry but if it's anything but the original cast with the original voice actresses (resurrected through necromancy I guess) the autistic japanese fans (and a few western ones) will throw a huge bitchfit
>>720364467I played and completed the PS2 version of Sakura Wars 3 using a gamefaqs script translation back in 2008 and I came to the conclusion the franchise sucks unless you're a hardcore waifu otaku. No idea why /v/ claims to be some hidden ultimate X-Com style masterpiece; those games are just interactive romance anime with a token turn based minigame between chapters.
>>720366158>peak of 80s 90s anime vibeWhat do you mean?
>>720367309Yeah.I do like the idea of steampunk robot xcom, and it could be just that if a new game came out. But the game's routes in harem VNs are so strong there's no way it'd do well outside japan. Western otaku has been proven incapable of carrying a franchise, unless you appeal to coomers as well, and I feel that'd be the real death of the Sakura Wars franchise. Death of the soul.
>>720366596I'll believe it when there's an official announcement.You can feel free to keep a bowl of crow ready for me to eat if you like, but I doubt I'm going to have to pick up a spoon ever.
>>720364467I think they have a bigger issue where no zoomer knows of this series. The last game they realized sold like shit.They need to remake the animes and then remake the old games so new fans can get into the series before making anything new.
>>720364467WTF is even Sakura Wars? All the videos I've seen of it show nothing but dating mechanics. But is it supposed to be a xcom-style game??
>>720369696Its a dating sim with isometric turn based battles every once in awhile and some other minigames. Its like persona, people don't play it for the combat.
>>720364467>jesus new fucking game when???sooner than you think, anonBaba will rise from the ashes and revive the IP
>>720369823Someone post the Sakura Revolucion post from /vm/
>>720369823>revive the IPb-but you killed the IP, Babaremember pic related?
>>720369869>Revolucionpablo...
>>720369823>Make a new Sakura Wars>Not everyone likes it (but I do)>Immediately decide the best decision is not to do Shin Sakura Wars 2 but a FUCKING GACHA>Pump millions into a gacha that ended up spectacularly failing>Never ever will you hear or see anything about Sakura Wars, classic or new.Why the fuck are Sega such retards?
>>720370615>Immediately decide the best decision is not to do Shin Sakura Wars 2 but a FUCKING GACHAthe gacha was released shortly after the gameit was obviously just part of a big franchise push along with the ps4 game and TWO animesthis shit is decided years in advance you tard
>>720370615You forgot>the gacha is mecha musume instead of mecha like the entire rest of the franchise
HASHIRE~KOSUKO NO~TEIKOKU KAGEKI-DAN~
>>720370939How the hell else are you going to show off the girls during gameplay?off all the retarded decisions this was not one of them, if anything the problem was taking half-measures by trying to make the armors resemble the bulky mechs to please old fans which made them really ugly, instead of going full mecha musumue
>>720369769it definitely made a big impact tho even the sales of the reboot and how much people complained about the change to action combat. They should've looked to fire emblem 3 houses for inspiration instead
>>720371272show off the girls..? You should've been rolling for cool mechs instead.
>>720371272>How the hell else are you going to show off the girls during gameplay?Ask the Code Geass gachaOr the SD Gundam gachaOr the Iron Saga gachaOr the Final Gear gachaOr any of the other mecha gachas that didn't have this problem
>>720371390It's time to let go, grampsAlmost nobody gives a shit about mechs anymorehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a73e3LjFwUo
At least the SW franchise is being acknowledged in Sonic Crossworlds. Probably the nicest thing Sega has done for the series in a while.
>>720371736Lmao okay, i guess pairing up with Sonic is the best we could do for now
>>720371503SRW would beg to differ sonny
>>720370615The gacha was unironically better than the absolute dogshit console title. It just failed utterly because they gave it to fucking DelightWorks and Baba.>>720371272The problem was that the gacha was literally just FGO, so why wouldn't you just play FGO with way more content?
>>720371781>i guess pairing up with Sonic is the best we could do for nowHey, compared to the gacha or reboot situations, possibly having a SW character show up in a good kart racer is a way better spot to be in.
>>720372123because FGO is mega gay
I like Azami :3
>>720364467I had a full collection of Sakura Wars games for Saturn, Dreamcast, Playstation 2, Playstation 4, including some merchandise. Then one day a few years ago robbers broke into my house while I was at work and took everything. Not just my Sakura Wars collection, but my entire physical games collection, including my imported Japanese Dreamcast console itself. Police said they can't do anything because it's not important enough. It was important to me.Erica is mai waifu.
>>720372445her chapter was the only part of the story that was well written so it's no wonderplus she always has your back
>>720372445cute
>>720366596I'm still mad that game didn't have the option to hook up with Anri, but gave you tons of moments to flirt with her.
>>720372614It was alright until the ending where "lol she actually was a ninja all along", because god forbid they actually give even one of their characters an ST-like backstory.
>>720372981>he didn't believe her all alongyou're no better than everyone who looked down on her
>>720372821>7
>>720364467based swchad keeping the threads aliveim hoping 3 gets a translation by the end of the fucking year!
>>720372826isnt she literally a lesbian whore?
>>720364467You pervert. You just want to see Sakura Shinguji mummified and gagged, don't you? And no, I will not give you the pleasure of posting an example. It's 9/11, have a soul.
It's time to bring it back.
>>720366496Gemini is so sexy.I'll take Ratchet or Erica too tho.
>>720373295I miss when anime character designs weren't afraid to look more like ordinary clotheseveryone has to have something unique that stands out nowadays
>>720373183>no lipstickNope, just a lesbian.
>>720372981Making her just a delusional tragic character for cheap tears would have been very easy, but it's extremely lazy and a shit overdone storyEveryone thinks she's a fraud, everyone thinks she's a spy.. etcThe reason her story is great is because she is someone who always believed in herself because if she didn't, absolutely nobody else would, not even (You), all people have to offer is cheap patronizing pity, thinking she is just a dumb naive child, they're just looking down on herShe doesn't want your sympathy, she wants you to believe herOf course the reveal has to be that she was telling the truth, she told you over and over with utmost convictionAnd you didn't believe in herBut she did
>>720370615
>>720374049How can I believe in myself the way Azami believed in herself
Sega should have Atlus make a new one if they can't
>>720374802atlus is already doing a sakura wars style game, it's called persona
>>720374886Persona is an SRPG with mechs?
>>720374802we dont get enough exposed shoulders these days
>>720374802I wouldn't want an Atlus made Sakura Wars because it would inherit all of their writing style and tropes.
>>720374049thank you anonAzami is perfect and too pure for this world
>>720374802Atlus already has an SRPG/VN hybrid that runs on a clock, it's called Devil Survivor which hasn't had a new entry in over a decade so I guess them making a new SW would be okay
>>720370615Ceos only care about money and know nothing about anything else that's always the answer
>>720366496I still love her name.>Gemini SunriseSomething about her last name was always quintessential, "Japanese trying really hard to come up with something American sounding"
>>720371781Id settle for a sonicxsakurawars Mario tactics type game at this point
>>720374275>>720370791>>720370615>>720369984It's still honestly incredible how much SEGA fumbled the ball with their Sakura Wars revival. It's obvious how much money they pumped into the reboot with even the flop of the mobile game having an insanely well animated full 20+ minute OVA. The fact that no videos on the western side of the world have seemingly been made on this failed reboot also goes to show how irrelevant the franchise is in the west. It's honestly a real shame.
>>720371736Has that even been confirmed or is it just a rumor? I'll take anything at this point.
>>720366596Yeah, here's the article for anyone curious>https://insider-gaming.com/exclusive-3-more-sega-classics-are-set-to-make-their-return/For those that don't wanna bother reading. This is essentially it>Article is from Jan 11, 2024>Goes into detail about the then month old announcements of SEGA revivals at the 2023 Game Awards>Apparently 10 SEGA classics were greenlit for production between>2020 and 2021>5 of them were revealed during the awards show>3 more were>Panzer Dragoon>Sakura Wars>Neon Genesis Evangelion (cause I guess they still have the license to make games about them????)>All are in early stages of development though >Meaning we likely won't see them for a year or more from here. It's been almost 2 years since the article so unless they announce something again at the upcoming TGS or GA It might be even longer of a wait. That's assuming the article is even accurate.
>>720364467>not whatever the fuck they were doing in the recent gameI mean they got fucking Kubo on board the fucking trainwreck that's gotta be something.
>>720374802>>720374987>This design was considered too much exposure back thenIf only they could see what modern designs are like. Although I guess given this is Steampunk old Japan it would probably be daring for the time.
>>720372524Damn anon that's sad. Hope you can rebuild the collection one day.
>>720369984I don't the only SEGA mobile game to flop harder would be that Chain Chronicle sequel that they hyped up ahead of a TGS once. People were so made lmao.
>>720377734>so unless they announce something again at the upcoming TGSwell we know VF6 is gonna be there and SEGA said there would be "surprises" so it's not completely impossible that we'll see one of those unnanounced games
>>720372445I don't know what she's like as a character but her design is hideous.
>>720379181What's a good design?
Sumire best girl
>>720378020I'll never buy physical again. I learned my lesson.
