The anniversary event is almost here!

>>735728452so it's a remaster, right? a stream for a 9th anniversary seems kinda odd (unless they've been doing this every year and I didn't know)
>>735729419>so it's a remaster, right?It may be a DX edition of one of the games.
I'm just happy it's not dead probably.
>>735729551you're right, I forgot Gust does the DX versions
>>735729653Yeah.
Ao doing something she shouldn't.
post godly ost tracks
>>735731541Okay, here's one from the sequel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iiRgKP_c98
>>735728452I believe
>>735731941*Insert Persona 5 Royal song here*
>>735729728The DX editions of the Ryza games were released recently. We'll see.
Bump.
>>735729419I assume they'll announce something, at least, and a DX release seems plauainle given how much Gust loves their lazy rereleases. If nothing else, though, it's a sign that they don't consider the series to be a dead.
>>735734768*plausible, I meant to say.
>>>/vg/
>>735731541https://youtube.com/watch?v=ssXAJFdOSwkThat's probably my second-favorite track in the series behind I(Sun.)
>>735735048Hedonistic Paradox, I love it. Sweaty Hinako, of course she's hot (and wearing a different bra, probably).
>>735731446Maybe one day Hinako will be able to change clothes in peace.
>not on salewhat is koei's problem
>>735739673They're going to announce a rerelease so they don't want you to buy the original version instead.
>>735739846Maybe.
>>735739846There are a few other K-T games that haven't been discounted in the same time period, so I wouldn't read too much in to it.
>>735740979That Hinako looks great.
>>735728452I want to have sex with her in student uniform.>>735729419It's gonna be censored further
>>735739673
>>735743006lol.
>>735742472Beautiful.
>>735736408I can only hope she'll be able to change clothes in peace someday...well, she can, but mostly when she's alone in her room during the first game.
>>735738210A design that doesn't appear in Blue Reflection: Second Light.
>>735734809Fish.
>>735751667Regrettably. It would have been fun to have her as a combat member.
>>735755489I agree, she has potential as a fun playable character.
>>735741794So, not even something more or less like this, sex with Hinako while she's wearing her school uniform...okay.
When is the event ?
>>735759656Tomorrow in less than 24 hours.
>>735760298Great fan art! It's consistent with the fact that the characters can wear swimsuits during the battles in Blue Reflection: Second Light, if they were wearing the same swimsuit from that game (Regulation Competitive Swimwear), it would be great too, maybe even better.
>>735762984I don't recognize the character...Sarasa or Rena maybe?
>>735759856
Woah, there's a BR thread up. It's imperative, that I, anon, post on it how much I want to sniff Hinako's freshly worn panties.And I'll add more: I'd do it to Lime's panties too.Especially if they looked me with disdain while I did it.
>>735764680Good one.
>>735764595It's Rena.
>>735765117LOL! Your post made me laugh, thank you! A little funny that you posted an image with Hinako's panties (and bra) but not Lime's panties. Lime's underwear...her panties stand out in the sense that they have frills and it looks like a skirt, she's the only character who wears panties with that design.
>>735766814I see. It really was one of those two characters and yeah, she looks like Rena.
>>735728452considering how gay and homo were latest atelier games and how the only people who care about this kusoge are pantyschizo and retarded namefags with nametags turned off I'm actually glad this shit series is dead as it is
>>735768772You say that when there is a live stream that will happen soon. The least they will do is announce a collab with something or new merchandise, at best, a DX edition of one of the games or someting new.The use of ''kusoge'' and slurs in your post is enough to dismiss what you said, not to mention that ''gay and homo'' doesn't really apply to Atelier when they have some fanservice and the most recent games really implies that Rias and Slade are in a relationship or are more than friends, which is fine.
>>735767446Thanks for laughing at my posts anon, you always brighten my days a littleI don't really like Lime's panties, ironically, since they look like bikini bottoms. Sure they're cute but they don't have the same appeal as the other girls' panties do. I REALLY want to fuck Lime though, so that makes up for it.
>>735768624I like this. I can only imagine the context of this fan art.
>>735769853So, you prefer normal panties so to speak and not panties with frills or if they have something that looks like a skirt. Well, nothing wrong with that, some people will like them because of that design (unique in the context of the game), other people will prefer the panties of the other girls.
>>735770940Yeah bikini bottoms are cute and have their own appeal, but pantsu are pantsu. I'm selective.What can you expect from a panty fetishist after all.
Blue Reflection girls adjusting their bra. Mao does it in those sequences where she appears with other girls, so, it really is recycled animation with her. This isn't an exhaustive compilation, Hinako does it before she meets with Ako but the animation is a little different in that scene.
>>735771669I understand.
>>735772207One-piece swimsuits.
I think Hiori could handle a B.O.W. outbreak.
>>735774959Or Kokoro.
>>735776238I like their outfits!
>>735731541OVERDOSE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Na5QeYzIf1k
>>735777124This is one of the rare times that the standard battle theme in an RPG is my favorite one. I do really like the boss themes as well, though, especially Toshitake -Hayabusa- and TIGAR -Otto-.
>>735777976The game has amazing battle music.
If they make DX they really need to fix the translation, it's a clusterfuck of typos and sentences that make no sense. At this point I'd even take MTL over that shit.
>>735780791The translation of both games is kind of bad, a lot of typos in both games. Maybe I'd be fine with a machine translation as long as they use an editor to change the text where it's necessary.
These threads are the closest things I have to friends
>>735782326Aww.Interesting.
>>735779224I also really like E.SYNAPSE in Second Light.>>735780791A better translation would be nice. I'm not as picky as some in that regard, but it's really hard to overlook stuff like Lime randomly being called Raimu.A higher difficulty option would also be very welcome. Deathwish was added in a patch to Second Light, so I don't think it would be too much to ask from a rerelease.
>>735728452He is coming
>>735783381SAY HIS NAME
>>735783381...back.>>735783434He doesn't have an official name, you can call him Marco and it's fine, you could give him any name you wanted, probably.
>>735728452This is a magical girl thing? What's with all the fucking dlc?
>>735785396Both games have a lot of cosmetic DLC, that's all.
>>735783381as a boss you absolutely destroy and retroactively erase from canon.
>>735783381what were they thinking? self-sabotage?
>>735786046That's a great idea actually! Imagine if he had reflector powers or fought alongside someone else, it could be a fun boss battle.
>>735783292The sequel also has a great sountrack.>>735786425Cleavage.
>>735728452Okay, so link the stream(?) or tell me when it is.
>>735788182Oh, I definitely plan to link the stream later if no one does it.
>>735788294Please do!
>>735788363Of course.
Speaking of Hinako's cleavage...
>>735790579God she's so fucking sexyI want to lick her underboob sweat
>>735790829...There is official art of a sweaty Hinako as you probably know, more than one image.Don't forget that she isn't the most endowed girl in the first game, at least Shihori and Yuri have bigger breasts than Hinako.
>>735791536Hinako's are perfectly sized, though.And yeah, I have fapped to that exact art before! But thanks anon <3
>>735791612Right. I'm sure you've appreciated this other official art then.Probably the only instance where Hinako appears to have large breasts...those are large, obviously, but for the most part her chest doesn't look that big in the rest of the official art, not to mention 3D model.
>>735792305Yeah, that one was what made me want to play BR at first.Cowtits Hinako does have some charm.
>>735792591Heh, and to think that it's something that was used for the dead mobile game...but if you wanted to play Blue Reflection because of it, more power to you.
>>735777124I hate how in 2 this is used for the first time in dialogue when Hinako rejoins your party but then it just transitions into the normal theme and Overdose doesn't become a battle theme.
>>735786593Probably saw the millions all the other gachas were making and wanted a piece, not realizing no dudes was part of the appeal of the series
Uta sexo
>>735793654Yeah, that was a little disapppinting. It would've been fun if it was at least used when Hinako was in the lead of your party formation or something.>>735793719I do kind of get the impression that the thought process wasn't much deeper than>gachas = free money, let's just copy what some popular one is doing.
>>735793023Simple/minimalist but it looks nice and it works really well with the themes and atmosphere of the first game too.>>735793654It would have been really nice as an option, a lot of games developed by Gust let you customize your experience by changing the background music, the first Blue Reflection lets you do this in the real world or when Hinako is in Hoshinomiya Girls' High School, she apparently uses her smarphone for that...but then Blue Reflection: Second Light doesn't have that feature...too bad...
>>735794319I want to be one of the cracks in Uta's mind.
>>735795293I wanna be inside Uta's crack
Anime Uta my beloved...
I keep seeing memes about this game never going on sale again why?
>>735795920Because both games haven't been on sale for months
>>735795920It has been a weirdly long time since the Blue Reflection games last went on sale, enough so for people to start speculating that a DX release is coming, or that K-T forgot the series existed or something.
I want to craft circuit boards, rocket ships, and pancakes together with Uta.
>>735796637I like that those are things you can make in the game, pancakes I'm not sure but I definitely remember the other two.
>>735796996Who knew you could make so many different things by hitting some colorful crystals with a mallet?
The girl in love with a boy who goes to another school.
>>735797621Yeah, who would have thought?
If anyone is interested in the live stream, get in here! It's in 6 or 7 hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krQ4NkdgZcEIt's in less than 10 hours at least.
Who would win?
>>735799546I say Kei.
>>735728452I never post in these threads but I loved both BR games, as well as both NoAs, the first NoA is my guilty pleasure despite how terrible of a game it is. Keep me posted on if they announce anything worth hearing, anon.
>>735800081I really need to get around to trying one of the NoA games one of these days. I've considered it off and on ever since they first released, but I've always opted to go with something else instead.>>735799202Not a great time for me, unfortunately. Hopefully something interesting comes of it, though.
An image like this one has been posted before, well, again, just because.
>>735800036That's what I lean towards, but it would be close. One scene in BR2 implies that Hiori's genki powers are extreme enough that she has even more stamina than Hinako.
>>735798629That bra slightly visible, Hinako may be wearing the same bra she wears in the games and other examples of official art but I'm not sure.
>>735800081I don't plan to watch the live stream but we'll see if they announce something.>>735800572Yeah, it's not a great time for me either, in many countries, Canada, the USA, Mexico, Guatemala etc, it'll be during the night, between 2:00 AM and 5:AM or something. I won't watch it but other people will, especially people who live in Japan.
On the one hand, I personally don't see a potential DX announcement being important enough to justify a livestream (even if it is aligned with anniversary). On the other hand, I can't imagine them making a new game at this point. Either way, my expectations bar is really low.
>>735801471Yeah, Hiori has some stamina and she tells them about not relaying (did I wrote it correctly?) on their reflector powers too much
>>735793919Pantyhose (or leggings).
>>735802525I'm not really familiar with how common these sorts of events are or how they tend to play out, so I'm not sure what to expect.>>735803185Relying is the word you were looking for there, but yeah, that is the scene being referenced.
>>735804113Can't say I'm familiar myself enough, so won't argue. Still, I think it's just too little for a stream.On an unrelated note, just noticed that on their official portal site, stream announcement is dated as "2025.03.16" which is a bit embarrassing (unless they actually planned to have it last year...)
>>735795874Blue Reflection: Second Light Uta is better.
>>735783381They will announce a new game Pink Absorption, featuring manly boys.
>>735805428Huh.
>>735806713Her not being playable in 2 really was a missed opportunity.
>>735807846If they ever make Second Light DX they should really make the four non-Reflectors playable. They're treated exactly like the playable characters otherwise, they even sold costume DLC for them despite being NPCs which is ridiculous. I'm sure they were meant to be playable but were cut for time/budget. They wouldn't even have to alter the story much for Kirara, Mio and Uta, it's pretty arbitrary that they couldn't transform again. Yuki is a bit harder but whatever, the power of love grants her a Reflector ring and she becomes a real girl.
@ me when they stop being yuribaiting and commit to what they're audiences want
>>735808191Yuki already has a ring, and it wouldn't really be a stretch for it to function. Despite her origin, I didn't really get the impression that she was a "fake" Reflector.I think reworking the mechanics would be a bigger obstacle than anything story related, since the non-transforming characters have all those support abilities tied to them.
The event is almost here, there is less than 90 minutes left.
>>735810864I'm not watching an hour-plus of the nips' trademark inane yapping, notify me when they show the BR DX trailer.
>>735798629Yes hinako chan
>>735806713Pretty Uta art.
they're late
Was this today?
>>735814025it's live right nowhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krQ4NkdgZcE
>>735814025Yes, right now.
>>735741794
anyone know what the FUCK they’re saying? i’m gonna need someone to translate and summarize it once the stream ends
>>735814094>>735814218Ok kek thanksI expect some remaster even though I want a third game (gacha doesn't count)
>>735814253Hai, haiNaruhodoSo desu neeeeKawaiiiiiKakkooiii
>>735814356So ka
WHO ARE THESE INSECTS IS THERE A NEW GAME ?
>Ray turned into a gameHoly fuck
>Blue Reflection: Quartetwtf is it a new game ?
What exactly is Quartet?
holy fuck is this what i think it is? if so holy fucking hype we are so fucking back blue reflection bro s
Is this 4 games in 1? Am I tripping?
>>735814753MY FUARKING HEROES and Hiori
>>735814769>>735814782All four "games" in one i.e. the original, Second Light and Ray turned into a game + Sun into a console game.
>>735814845I fucking kneel
4 games in 1not bad
Alright I'll grab the most expensive meme edition just because they were nice enough to do this
>>735814813Technically 3, original, 2nd light, and Ray as a non gacha plus the anime in one package.
>they wear towels now kek i fucking called it
>>735814909They showed gameplay scenes of Ray, it's not just included as the anime. They had 3D Shino and all.
Should've pretended Sun doesn't exist
>>735814845>July 30thSo happy this is a perfect summer game
>>735814909They showed Ray (the anime) as a game.
>bath scenes censoredLMAO
>>735814962They should at least let you pick a feMC. It's going to feel ridiculously jarring as-is alongside everything else in the package.
you weebs are pathetic
>>735815061I’ve never understood why they couldn’t just let you pick the MC’s gender in the gacha. WuWa and Honkai Star Rail do it
>>735815036>>735815061I don't even care at this point. I'm good with just the music and dreamscapes.
>Can play this all summerBased cozy and cute times ahead
>>735815061They are actually going to do the opposite and add a male MC to every game as a new character
>hiori and mío get a full on game never really cared about them honestly but it’s nice they get some spotlight
>>735815061he dies in the end anyway
>>735815143>source: my ass
>2026>Ruka is remembered
I would have rather had another Atelier Arland game but this is good enough I guess
>Ray turned into a gameWill HE rise again?
>Shiho is standing next to MCShiho confirmed canon wife
Wtf all my hopes and giga copes were realI honestly am both happy and surprised as fuck
>>735815067>hinako's glowing shirt of censorshipMan they better add more gameplay updates to the og. If the only changes they do is just covering them up thats gonna be some faggot shit
>>735815286why did he do it bros
who the fuck is that guy
>>735815067Lmao is the first game getting censored?
>>735815339Oh yeah, didn’t even notice that was the scene where they were all in their underwear originally. Can’t believe Mel is still kneeling to the modern audience after they let his franchise die. It’s obvious censorship did nothing for this franchise
This is honestly like finding a shit nugget in your delicious cake.
>>735815475I like him, he makes the troons seethe.
>>735815339The show the attack animations and battle speed were way faster for the 1st game.>>735815436He's our guy.
>>735815436I guess you mean the main character in Blue Reflection Sun. He sucks, he wasn't even voiced.
>Sun girls in Second LightI will forgive them if this means I can appropriate all of literally me-kun's harem as Ao.
what is he doing LOL
>>735815067>>735815036>more censorship Why even bother porting the 1st game
>>735815452Unfortunately, that's just the state of tecmo koei these days. They even removed the swimsuit unlockables from the fatal frame 2 remake
Overall bretty good. Much better than what I was expecting. Shame about the new censorship bits I guess but I don't play these games to goon so whatever.
>Hold on while I stick Shiho's head up Hinako's skirt, this is very important.
As a retard that spent 100 eurodollars buying the physical ps4 versions of Blue Reflection and Blue Reflection Second Light, but hasn't played them yet, what does this mean for me?
>>735815475Let's gooo he's back, I'm back I'm so happy bros you don't even know
>>735815805This is by far the definitive version and includes two more games made mostly/entirely anew.
>>735815805They become collectors items if you didn't open them yet.
>>735815805>what does this mean for me?You will buy Quartet and then proceed to not play it too.
>>735815805Pay again. To be fair this time seems like a pretty good value. You get 4 games in 1.
>>735815851>>735815856The release date 30/07 is only for Japan, or is it worldwide?I'm actually pretty excited to play this series.
What's the price?
>>7358159567.5k yen for the regular, it's standard price.
I don't think this is getting an English release
I love how the “main girl” of Sun was supposed to be Meiqi but Shiho just replaced her out of sheer popularity
>>735815996Aren't you watching the stream? They said it'll be released in English.
Sex with Hinako
>>735815996It is, because the first game is getting some stuff changed/censored
>>735815553Same but I unironically like games that let me self insert. I genuinely don't understand why people hated the self insert character so much, but I'm glad to see the devs standing by their creative choices
Are they really selling her socks
>>735816061Will they release this limited edition in english?
When you beat all four games you unlock a special scene where the girls talk about how it's time to start loving boys
Hinako socks, so based
But wait there's more
such a perfect release date too, playing these games during summer is peak cozy
Did they mention a release date for Quartet?
Which blue reflection is the sluttiest?
She smelled the socks what do they smell like I wanna know??
>>735816138Don't know but probably not.
>>735816264Shiho
Chances of them making a new game if this sells?
>>735816293Stinky apparently
I’m more surprised it’s only 60 bucks. Knowing KT, I was expecting some kind of deal with all three games for like 150 bucks.
>>735816264If you mean the characters...Shihori, Rin, Uta or one of two characters in Blue Reflection Sun.
Whats Meiqi like as a character?
>>735816318>if this sells?100%now the chances of it selling, on the other hand...
so, once Quartet makes a couple million sales in its first week, Blue Reflection "5" will get announced, right?
>>735816318Not letting this IP die is probably already a good sign for the future
>>735816379Justicefag autist that gets others upset by being too blunt
We are so fucking back BRos
>>735816379Not as good as Shiho apparently given how little spotlight they gave her here.
Another game would be like Atelier Lulua and all the characters you love will be aged up 20 years and it's a game about middle aged office ladies
>>735816528>Lulua office ladyStop, my dick can only get so erect
>>735816528You said it like it was a bad thing
>>735816518>PicThank you for the new wallpaper
>>735808795Haven't you played second light?
>>735816610Nobody wants a game about 40 year old women turning into magical girls
>>735816730Speak for yourself. I want it.Hag love
>>735728452Are this games even any good, or is it the yuribaiting that fans like and just push through the actual game part?
hah not doing anything paid off again, now i get to play it all in its best form
Did they announce a DX of 1 and will this shit come out for the Switch?
https://blue-reflection.com/quartet/
>>735816371I wouldn't expect Ray and Sun to be fully fleshed out. They looked like character swap mods of Second Light and they even showed an anime still for a Ray event.
arigatou, Mel-sensei...
I'd been telling others in these threads that it was too early to declare the series dead, but this is still bigger news than I expected.>>735816120Personally, I don't think a male protagonist is a good fit for a game about magical girls, as that makes him feel sort of tacked-on and draws focus away from the actual point of the game. It's not a dealbreaker for me, though. My primary issue with Sun was always just that it was a gacha game.>>735816318That they're still investing actual resources into it is a good sign. They invested a lot into trying to build up the Blue Reflection brand, and it seems they're still hoping to get that to pay off.>>735816371Same here.
Alright, somehow it was significantly better than I anticipated. Maybe there is some future for the series if this new compilation sells well.
What did I miss
Did we win bigly? Is anyone going to play Sun?
>>735816863So what exactly does the male protag do? Does he have powers? Does he help the girls fight? Or is he just the designated Master/Trainer/Sensei/Doctor ?
Blue Reflection: More censorship edition
>>735816963Hes (you) and the girls love (you) and it makes you momentarily forget (you) dont actually have a gf.
>only digital for non-nipsI really shouldn't be surprised at this point, but still.Thankfully it's 60$ so importing won't be very expensive.

>>735817036Meant for >>735816942
>>735817032I guess I'll import the switch 2 version but I'd rather play on steamdeck...
>>735817015Horrible News
>>735817032Switch 2 version for me. I'm not sitting in my chair to play these games in the middle of summer.
>>735817015How does the clip of Hinako's skirt physics compare?
Looking at the website, it seems the Ray game is just a small part from the last few episodes of the anime. Don't expect a proper game.Sun is also only the main story so apparently no bonding events with MC.
>>735817015I feel bad for the BR underwear schizo
>>735817347That’s about what I expected. I figured the Ray part would be extremely short, and I can’t imagine Sun being padded out for too long either
>>735816785They have their strengths and weaknesses, and yuribaiting isn't really why people care about them for the most part (the first game in particular doesn't really even have any yuri elements.) In general, the characters are a bigger part of the appeal than the gameplay, though. The mechanics aren't actually bad in either game, but the difficulty is set way too low outside of the unlockable difficulties in Second Light, which require clearing the game first for some reason.
>>735815036>>735817015They're definitely going to delist the original game and never put it on sale from now until then. Better just pirate it at this point if you don't have it.
Just came back what did I miss
From the Steam page.
>>735817476Ngl, It looks like an average jrpg, but with some yuribating as the hook. Sucks cause i really want a magical girls game.
>>735817015Oh well. At least they are using the dlc bath towels. I honestly really don't care at this point, I'll take whatever just so this IP doesn't die.
>no major changes to BR1>Ray is just a short playable section with Hiori and Ruka>Sun is main story only>Second Light adds all the playable characters from Ray and Sun meaning Kirara becomes playable compared to the original game while Mio, Uta and Yuki don'tThat seems to be about it.
>>735817590Huh, I really expected them to have a "gender choice" if they ever tried to re-release Sun at the very least, especially after they had to issue an entire fucking statement over the choice of the male MC.Godspeed, I suppose.
>>735817874They removed the bonding events so no harem dicksucking at least.
>>735817109Damn four games? Kinda regret buying it last sale
What's the catch? $60 for 2 full games and 2 short games sounds way too good for a KT game
>>735817015I guess I'll wait for the mods then
>>735817785Will they integrate the new characters into Tie's story/dates or are they just awkwardly going to be there?
>>735817984I think this is the catch>>735817015
>>735817984>>735817015
>>735728452>waited to see if they were going to remaster the first game>they remastered all 4we won?
>>735817785>still no playable utaWack. But I would like to see how they integrate all the Sun characters in, if they extend some chapters or add some extra scenes with them. It'd be really odd to just have them be there and unacknowledged
>>735817984The catch is that the is the FINAL chance for the series.
>>735818070The first game is only getting censorship but 3/4 aint bad
>>735818041>>735818057That's it? The first game getting censored I'm guessing, right? Expected but not a deal breaker for me at least.
>>735818097>7/30 releaseheh, they know that's peak release window for these games
>>735818165Yeah is not a deal breaker for me too, I am just happy that the IP is alive.
this series has died more times than Sean Bean
>>735818165it's a good deal really, you can use mod to remove those censorhip too
>>735818014The date system is part of how you strengthen characters in Tie, so it seems like they would need something in that regard. I guess they could theoretically go with some lazy solution and have them go up in bond level each chapter or something.
>I almost paypigged the $110 ultimate edition of Second Light the other day without even wanting to wait for a sale Wew lad, never be such a fucking impulse buyer consoomer such as me. I almost got fucked over.
Why aren't they adding the very popular Leader character into Tie?
>>735817995>>I guess I'll wait for the mods thenjust play the original? its just the first game
>>735818475Because he dies at the end of the story
>>735818536
it's a collection of the first two games with an offline mode of the gacha? What a nothing burger
>>735818634Lewd photo mode in Tie + Auto-save in Maboroshi = worth the price.
>all this "the censorship isn't a big deal" postingReiwa otaku and new generation "weebs" should just die. We can't have shit anymore and you just keep letting them take and take. I'd rather this series stay dead than this...
crashing out over self-insert garbage, or crashing out over bath censorship.Make your choice western man...
>>735818634but you can run faster now
>>735818720we're licking crumbs off the floor here, cut us some slack. And if it does really well we might see Blue Reflection 5 precensored edition
>>735818720Its funny you posted Senran Kagura because those games were pure ass.
I am so glad I didnt start playing BR last week and waited
>>735818014>>735818415https://blue-reflection.com/quartet/us/features/tie.html>This release features eight additional characters from RAY and SUN who can join you in battle!>These additional characters also join Yuzuki and Lime in Photo Mode. No one gets left out of this photoshoot!Better to expect the bare minimum i.e. they're only going to be in your party menu and photo mode and will never be acknowledged in the story. They would've made a big deal out of them otherwise.
>>735819206If they’re modeling the characters and giving them their whole movesets, they might as well give them a few date scenes while they’re at it
>>735819206Probably.
>>735818720Gust games are notoriously easy to mod
>>735819206Maybe they are holding back information so there is a surprise when the game releases...?
>>735816718the only couple involves two npcs thoughbeit, all you get to do is hold hands and tease. I dont want a super coomer harem thing I like the cuteness of it, just being able to have what the two npcs had would be enough
>>735819332Gust always tells you exactly everything they add in DX rereleases even if it's lategame/postgame like the Nelke world in Lydie & Suelle DX. Set your expectations accordingly.
Wait they made the anime a game?
MaleMCGODS won
>>735815695Kokoro's fat butt spotted.
>>735817036>making me buy the censored shit just to get the new gamesHow about go fuck yourself
>>735814903FUCK, I just picked up blue reflection second light for $60 recently.
I'm gonna call the maleCHAD Mahima
Never played these games but now i'm interestedshould i support this?
>>735819206>>735819332https://www.famitsu.com/article/202603/69291>ガスト開発スタッフ どのようにして彼女たちがこの世界に来たのか、という設定を用意しています。ただ、『帝』のメインストーリーに関しては加筆はありません。『帝』は『帝』の世界でできあがっているので、影響を与えないほうがよいと考え、8人はバトルに新たに加わるだけという形をとっています。confirmed they're only adding them as party members
>>735819649>not Manjima
>>735819315>notoriously easy>no uncensor mods
>>735819391Rena is a playable character.
So this is why they haven't put the second game on sale for years.
>>735818820No kidding, I cannot stand these westoid creatures, reddit trannies being the worst of their kind
>>735819849Both games.
Fuck I regret selling my SL copy so much especially now. I will wait until we know exactly what was censored. Fuck censorship.
>anime stills in the Ray portion>the incredibly stiff talking head cutscenes from Sun and its cringe-ass story>sandwiched between the two proper gamesThis is going to feel very haphazard, but better than nothing.
Yeah, if you haven't, but the original games because they are 100% going to delist them soon.
>>735819949FUCKAnd i still can't buy them in my shithole.
>>735819498Unironically this, we're so back
>>735819665Disappointing, but unsurprising, since doing anything more ambitious with that number of characters would be a lot of work.
Who cares about censorship. If you faggots don't buy this the IP will die for good.
>>735820167>If you faggots don't buy this the IP will die for good.Good, shouldn't have censored it in the first place.
>>735819926The second game was already developed under post 2018 anti fanservice otaku standards. That one won't be changed.
>>735820167
>>735820224If you consider the fact that the camera has always been restricted in the model viewer in the western versions of the first game, not to mention the PC version worldwide, then basically people who play Blue Reflection games have been dealing with censorship since day 1.
>>735820167The bikinischizo doesn't even buy games. He even confused fatal frame 4 with 5, I don't know why the fuck is so obsessed with the games he doesn't even play
I bought this 55% off in 2022 and still haven't played it but thank god I got it when I did. I'll never touch this cucked edition.
>>735820479Who the fuck is that? Your boyfriend?
>>735816138Never. Nisa might have a gutted premium box with the some of the untranslated japanese goods at a higher price. But you'll have to import for the special collection box.
>>735820167>If you faggots don't buy this the IP will die for goodThe IP is already over. This is the last hurrah, a collection of everything in one package. It doesn't get more over than that.
>>735820632https://x.com/KoeiTecmoUS/status/2037514984142299475>BLUE REFLECTION Quartet will be available digitally July 30, 2026 on PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, and Windows PC via Steam®.There's no physical western release at all.
>>735817032>>735817210>>735817140Switch 2 will be gamekeycard in japan/asia I assume? I guess english will be on asia version only?
Ar tonelico when? I wanted more chibimakes with Iris trilogy too
>Vita ecchi games of the glory days getting Blackrock approved editions with the old ones getting delistedFuck. I barely even considered this. Nights of Azure Blackrock Bundle coming next for sure.
>>735820768Switch 2 is digital only in Japan as well, no physical or "physical" release at all. Also no upgrade path from the Switch 1 version.
>>735817785Kino. I used to look at the character grid and think of what could've been. Second Light is officially the best entry.
>>735817874The MC still doesn't have a voice, so assuming someone feeling like modding it then a simple model/portrait swap seems easy enough to pull off.
>>735820814Never.
>>735817984It's just Blue Reflection DX and Second Light DX bundled together, plus new side stories based on Ray and Sun in their respective engines. That's basically 2/3 of the Ryza DX trilogy and that's going for $80 as a bundle.
>>735819882>tranny pfp wants a female mod over male mc so he can feed into his twisted delusions of being a girlThese people don't even care about the series all they care about is pushing their own woke agenda. Truly disgusting mutts wish someone would remind this literal faggot he will never be a woman, better yet hope his father or a kind stranger beats his head in for being a faggot in drag.
>>735818720You retards bitching about censorship never bought the games in the first place, let alone finish them>SK picLike pottery
>bring back the male MC but with no bonding eventsDamn, they castrated the poor guy just because people were overreacting. kekThe gacha was still mostly yuri.
>>735818720TRVKE
>>735820836redpill me on NoA. I know nothing about this genre but I did love the two BR games
>>735817932Still canon though lol
>>735820814If they can't even rerelease the first BR uncensored in current year then AT is never coming back in any capacity.
>>735818720If you're expecting anything better from Koei Tecmo at this point you're delusional. Any time their staff appears on screen they wear the mark of the devil (iykyk).Anyway I want to have sex with Hinako.
>>735821180Yuri can't coexist with the girls slobbering over a guy's cock. It would be one thing if it was its own thing for fetish purposes, but inserting it into a larger franchise that's otherwise girls-only is very awkward. The full character chart is ridiculous, there's 30+ girls and this one guy in a random spot.
Gonna be a cozy summer BRos
>>735816963He is the designated master + boyfriend of all the girls. It's a harem game now.
The male MC does reminds of that time where they kept trying to make a male self insert be thing in Neptunia in the spin-off (Hyperdevotion and that idol game), but even in a game that is mostly sold on fanservice, people hated it.
>>735816963He’s the designated master. He does talk in cutscenes with other girls, particularly Uta, but he doesn’t actually fight
>>735814962You forget that people still whaled in Sun. The yuri tantrum wasn't enough to kill it within a year. It lasted a lot longer than expected.
Why'd they even bother making the guy an actual character and not just one of those things where the characters face the screen when talking to (You)?
>>735821685That would've unironically been more effort, they just took Second Light (school layout included) and swapped the player character model to make the Sun part of this compilation.
blue reflection with males only when ?
>opportunity to uncensored the second game>censor the 1st game insteadKishida is rolling in his grave.
>>735821685Mel Kishida made a statement a while back that he had always wanted Blue Reflection to have a male MC. He is just staying true to his word.
>>735821857then why he didn't do it since the start ?
>>735821934Because that claim was PR bullshit.
>>735821772Kishida is a part of the "otaku regret" crowd who've internalized all the "male gaze" argument shit. Dude was talking about how BR1 has outdated views towards girls when BR2 was coming out in interviews.
>>735821432That one guy is me so it's not awkward at all. As long as I'm the only male in their lives they can still function as one big yuri group, so the chart actually makes perfect sense if you think about it
>>735817785>still no NiinaI'll cope...
>>735821934to bait you retards into buying into his franchise
>>735821857I mean... he only came up with the original concept (not on his own) and character design for the first game, those games have their director and writer. So, I don't think he have much of a say in this. (He doesn't even work at GUST afaik)
>>735821857Mel loves cute girls, but he has absolutely nothing against male characters. Sterkenberg is his 2nd most favorite Atelier character.Yurifags are just rabid.
>>735822219this. I think he also works in Atelier which has always had male characters.
>>735821934Because he was neither the writer or the director of that game.
Can someone explain like I'm 5?So Japs want to make a gooner game which is fine, but then they choose to make all characters minors, which gets them censored by today's CERO and basically every single Western platform/store.Why not just make everyone 20? Is the pedo audience really worth pandering to? Looking at the abysmal sales of these games, it's clearly not, but they keep making them, so why?Just make everyone a college girl, give them huge tits and assets, and this will sell well world wide. You can even make them completely nude and add actual sex scenes a la CP2077/BG3, it's all good when there's no minors involved.Is this Gust company full of out of touch boomer pedos? Is that it?
>>735822219>>735822279Atelier didn't have three products with no male characters before suddenly adding one in.
>>735822352>minorsThey're all JKs.
>>735822279He hasn't touched Atelier game since 2019, and he hasn't touched a GOOD Atelier game since 2011.
>>735822417Speak English motherfucker, you will never be Japanese.
>>735822219Sterk is actually a character, I don't think you understand how much a cardboard this MC is.
>>735822482>cardboard >huge focus of sun>had dates with all the girls
>>735822352>So Japs want to make a gooner game which is fineYep>but then they choose to make all characters minorsWhich was totally normal for Japan at the time (2017)which gets them censored by today's CERO and basically every single Western platform/store.You said it yourself, "today's CERO." It wasn't a concern at the time. It's only a problem now that they're rereleasing older games. Their most recent games do in fact feature original characters in their 20s.
Are there going to delist the first two games? I might need to buy Second Light before then...
>>735822124i would have done with the mc or not because i love gust games, artonelico is my favorite game ever
>>735822352>Why not just make everyone 20You do realize that these games aren't meant to accommodate western sensibilities, right? So the only one out of touch is you, fucking normalfag. Being a pedo is slowly but surely getting more normalized so yes, pandering to an ever growing audience is generally a good idea.
>>735818820>crashing outfrfr uncs be wildin out nocap ohio rizz on the skibidi ahh :skull: :skull: :skull:
>>735817785>>735817032It's censored shit shower is censored now. Most likely will use censored english release as base too which has censored angle so it's double censored now. Don't support koie tecmo>>735822352Having young characters is best part of fanservice games retard without it ecchi dies.
>>735822461jk = joshi kusei = high school girlit's a known fact on this website since a long time
I'm a disgusting, fat otaku, and I'm proud of it, and more games should be made for me.
>>735822712Kosei FTFY, also why are you trying to educate tourists? They don't deserve to be here the only thing they do deserve is the rope
>>735822785same but I'm skinny
>>735822868i just don't know
Explain to me in no less than 500 words why all the schizos are ESL
My wife with my wife.
>>735822910jesus christ that picture, please tell me there's more
>>735822352>Why not just make everyone 20because if they're 20 they wont be junior highschool students>Just make everyone a college girlJapan hates college, how many times have you seen a game take place in college? the point is wish fulfillment
So are they going to update that part of the localization where Hinako says they're college students in Second Light?
>>735823217no, they will turn them into OLs
>>735823217I want to die between Kokoro's thighs.
>>735818720>open rule34.xxx>coom after 5 minutesdone you can now play the game like a normal human being
Already got both games so this collection seems kinda redundant, at least the IP isn’t completely dead though and we might get something in the futurehaha
>>735822352Maybe some people don’t want to look at hags, anon. Go play your Westernslop if you’d rather have that
>>735823217Lol.>expecting them to do work for a quick cash grabLmao.
>>735823217Just look how fat Kokoro is Jesus Christ
>>735823217is the one with the red skirt modded, I want her to sit on my face
That was a huge announcement, I'll definitely get Blue Reflection Quartet.>>735817412Don't feel bad, Blue Reflection fans have been dealing with censorship since the first game in one way or another, it has always been a matter of ''do you accept it or not'' or ''you take the good with the bad'' at least. Both games have fanservice especially the first game and I have the first game physically, for now the original versions can still be bought but physical copies aren't going to cease to exist even if the games are delisted digitally. I don't like censorship and I'd rather have an uncensored version of the first game for Nintendo consoles, but again, I have the game, I've played it (several times, I've finished it 5 or 6 times at least) and I guess I can accept it more partially because of that. No matter what is censored or not, Hinako's bra and panties with floral hints will always be her canon underwear even if it's not visible in the game...lol.
>>735822461kill yourself tourist
>>735823316It's not like it's reflected in the voiced dialogue. Hell, all they'd need to do is remove the word "college" from the text and just have the line call them "students."
>>735823365It's true though, JK is not english and you can just say ''high school student''.
>>735823360Based underwear schizo
>>735823421everyone uses jk
>>735823360Thanks for buying my copy, anon. I mean it unironically. I don't support the censorship and will not buy anything that is censored.
being a fan of this franchise is a humiliation ritual
>>735823217Disgusting localization, everyone who worked on that specific part should get the rope
>>735821934Not at the start. But he was referenced in the anime and Second Light.
>>735823649>in the animeNo.
>>735819946I didn't like how shiny the Sun characters were. Hopefully they're still fine-tuning and won't just slap everything together and call it a day.
>>735823649the problem is that the anime made even more yurifags put their eyes on the series>>735823687oh
>>735823217maybe now that theres a remaster there will be an effort to retranslate the game. Hell you dont even need to know what the original japanese was.
>>735822712This is some "all according to keikaku" shit lmao, weebs are so ridiculous
They talked about it being censored on the stream btw. The tldr is that Kishida is saying that standards and regulations have changed in the last 9 years. Linked with timestamp.https://www.youtube.com/live/krQ4NkdgZcE?t=3404s
>>735823473Not me, I just say ''high school student'' or ''high schooler''.
>>735823735Come to think of it, the first game was also full of typos. They'd have to at least give the script another once over.
>>735823421>not knowing a modicum of japanese in the reiwa eraYou should be ashamed
>>735823817NTA but I want you to understand that you're a tourist and have no business being here
>>735823779Yeah, here's a rough translation: https://x.com/HimegiCN/status/2037525536155865475
>>735821613Wait he doesn't even fight ? Ok thats crazy
>>735823865if that wasnt unintentional it'd be kind of moe
>>735823779now i believe the pantsu schizo
>>735824024thats actually pretty normal for a magical girl setting with a male protagonist. Negima was always the exception to that
>>735823954Gomenasorry my fellow otaku tomodachi! I will try to do my saikou from now on.
>>735822069kek
>>735823865what's it with gust and getting shitty translations ? ar tonelico 2...etc
>>735823954Shut up, JK isn't English and it may even be an example of sanitized language in a way, you don't necessarily want people to immediately understand that the characters are teenagers, so, you use JK insteand of ''high school student'', which is what the characters are. Come on, don't say JK or try to hide what they are, say ''high schooler'' which is what they are, nothing wrong with that, fanservice or not.
>>735823987It's so over.
>>735824024Even in magical girl hentai, the male master never fights.
>>735823987they should do what the gacha games do and release an uncensor patch/method
>>735824146Yeah no shit retard. It's the same reason lolifags say cute & funny instead of loli, they don't want to flaunt the fact that they're pedos.
Can I fuck and unlesbian any girl in Sun?
>>735823987Wow. It's like I'm destined to just never play this game.
>>735824085yoko danei
>>735824258they're removing bond events in Sun altogether so I think the girls just friendzone the MC. But also yes because the sun girls are being added to BR2
>>735821613I still think it would have been a cool twist for him to have been some kind of Sephirot, like a disguise or reincarnation or something.
>>735823779We at Gust are all your fellow pervert otaku. That's why we're following the Anita Sarkeesian guidelines.
>>735824254Yeah we do
Did they stole fatal frame 2 hand holding mechanic?
>>735824317Boooo. What a bunch of pussies
>>735824317Man, what a pussy devs. Hard pass dor me then
>>735824317They should've just turned him into a female MC a la Heaven Burns Red, then everyone would be happy. It was so fucking dumb of Gust to try to turn this yuri series into a male MC harem. Heaven Burns Red is one of the more popular gachas and it's 100% yuri.
>>735823987>It's going to be fun, isn't it?>>735824163Yup, it's over.
>>735818720Speaking as someone who has played both Senran Kagura and Blue Reflection games, have you even played the Blue Reflection games? I won't deny that the censorship of the Blue Reflection games is very real but I also can't deny that Senran Kagura and Blue Reflection couldn't be more different, among other things of course. If you really don't want to get Blue Reflection Quartet because of the (additional) censorship, that's fine.
>>735824405The English language doesn't have double past tense, so it's "did they steal" not "did they stole".I'm an ESL myself, but please do better. Thank you.
>>735824526they could've just let you have dual gender options, theres really no reason for him to be male. There are female master magical girl animes too.
>>735823360https://files.catbox.moe/gdypfd.jpg
>>735824526They didn't even bother giving him a voice and making him an actual character for people to attach themselves to. He exists JUST ENOUGH to fuck with the yuri in a way you can't just handwave it, but doesn't go far enough to actually be likable to anyone. It was literally the worst way they could have done it.
>>735824695wait hes not even voiced? lmao, I was thinking it would be an extra cost to cast a female version but jesus just change the model
>>735824687>nude mod>it's just Barbie doll bodies with painted on nipplesevery single time, very sad
>>735824687Oh my...
>>735824747maybe it'll be an easy mod to give the Leader a generic female model
>>735824405>>735824613Handholding was first introduced in Blue Reflection Second Light, then the FF2 Remake borrowed it.
>>735824774i am turning the leader into a trap
>>735824853based
>>735824526Supporting yuri shit is a disgrace to humanity. Girls are meant to be mothers and it's a man's job to do so.
>>735824130because weebs will buy it anywayBR1 wasn't even proofread and was full of awful typos like Raimu instead of Lime and she's one of the main characters lmao
>>735822910That image again, wow.>>735824890I hope you aren't serious with this post.
>>735822785Anon everyone envies otakus, just notice how despite mind our own business we have billionaires trying to get our attention and censor our stuff I mean how pathetic can you get?
>>735824747Yeah, he lacks a character voice credit >>735815573
I honestly feel that besides censorship everyone won a bit. People that want the male MC and even yurifags with Ruka added more and more women for AO's harem. People forgot that Ao will steal the Sun MC's harem in her game anyway, so I don't care about this dumb fight people have with the Sun MC.
>>735824526It doesn't matter when you have people that will eat up whatever Gust or Mel shits out. It's only chinks and redditors that are throwing the tantrums. If you look at Japanese twitter they are all praising this announcement and praised Sun when the male MC was first announced.
>>735822352Cute dog but even your post is kind of wrong. As a coming-of-age story, it makes sense that Hinako and the other girls are canonically high school students, but there's also the fact that the CERO wouldn't allow sex scenes like in Cyberpunk 2077 or even explicit nudity, not even with the highest age rating (Z).The characters are minors in the sense that they are teenagers, yes, that's totally true, but it's fine if one considers the fact that the games are rated T for Teen and CERO C, it's not a huge deal and the rating boards prove me right but going beyond fan service (characters wearing revealing outfits, jiggle physics, scenes of characters in their undies)...yeah, they would never do that partially because it's not allowed, full stop.
>>735823987Lime's VA looks so disappointed by the news...
>>735825340>characters wearing revealing outfits, jiggle physics, scenes of characters in their undiesThese aren't allowed anymore, either, btw
>>735825390A lot of recent games especially gacha games have characters wearing revealing outfits and jiggle phyics, what are you talking about?
>>735824826the og game had it or so i remember
>>735825518I accidentally highlighted all three when I specifically meant the underwear
>>735825541First game did not have it
>>735825580Right, that one is true, characters in their undies like in the first game, it's not something shown in games nowadays, it's something very rare at most.
>>735825708do the new atelier games even have pantyshots?
>>735823987>https://x.com/HimegiCN/status/2037525536155865475>don't worry about that. All the developers at Gust are pervertsSo we're good? I don't understand why everyone is losing their shit right now. Yeah having to censor the game at all sucks but it looks like they were strong-armed into it
>>735825764I don't have screenshots but the most recent game (Atelier Resleriana: The Red Alchemist & the White Guardian) has pantyshots or visible panties at least.
Yurishit? Hm... I shant buy.
>>735825816Ignoring the other problems this re release has doesn't mean they don't exist, retard.
>>735818078>still no playable uta
>Publisher Koei Tecmo and developer Gust have announced Blue Reflection series collection Blue Reflection Quartet for PlayStation 5, Switch 2, Switch, and PC (Steam), including console remakes of the anime Blue Reflection: Ray and mobile game Blue Reflection: Sun. It will launch on July 30 worldwide.>498 posts from starved snoy and bintendo puristspathetic
Thanks to the live stream and announcement, this became the most popular and fastest Blue Reflection thread in a long time! Before the thread dies, here's a picture of a naked Kei. There's at least one person who realy likes Kei out there.
>>735825964Uta is too powerful.
>>735825964Protagonist for the sequel, trust the plan
>>735826048Otherwise you're just responding to your own posts and dumping the same images until you hit the bump limit on your own.
So what's new in each release? I saw the original gets autosaves (and censorship) and Second Light gets new party members. Anything else?
>>735826014Do you want a port for Xbox Series S and X? I know that there is some demand for Blue Reflection on Microsoft consoles (many Japanese games are on Xbox after all), but no, with this third release of Blue Reflection or Blue Reflection ''x'', I guess the series simply won't be on Xbox consoles...
>>735826178Bold of you to assume I respond to my own posts. As mentioned before, the least popular Blue Reflection threads have *at least* 2-5 different people posting.
>>735826292> Reflection threads have *at least* 2-5 different people posting.hahah all me
>>735826356lol.
>>735816863Retard
>>735826194>Do you want a port for Xbox Series S and X?why would I want that? xbox is dead, they replaced phil spencer with a former head of ai. keep up choom
>>735826356Yeah, me, the Kokoro fan.
>>735826453Then why the inflammatory post with ''starved snoy'' and ''bintendo purists''? Just having fun or basically trolling?
If they simply updated BR1's terrible gameplay to be like Tie's it would become the best rpg ever made
Second Light should get a bonus ending if you clear everything else first where Ao picks every girl at the end.
So are we back or what?
>>735826935on life support
>>735826935Ultimately there's nothing new but it's better than being dead.
>>735826935We're back to having a chance at being back.
>>735826935Yeah, kind of.
>>735822352>minor = pedolook up the definition and then kill yourself
I don't think I ever saw a GAME being released with a 24 eps anime.Maybe 1 OVA episode, sure, but not an entire series.
>>735826797I think BR1's mechanics are fine, it's just hard to notice because the game is balanced so poorly. Having some faster animations probably wouldn't hurt either.
>>735827216It was a bold choice. Probably not a smart one, but bold.
>>735826935we are not at the very bottom at least, im glad it still has contents
Bye thread! There are two other active Blue Reflection threads right now, I wonder how long they'll last?
>>735827898>both are bait threadsGrim
>>735825071It really is weird, we just want to jerk off to and appreciate cute girls but we constantly get policedwe are the strongest beings in the world
>>735827993
>>735827993I wish Lime would call me a disgusting pedo and step on my cock
>>735827957That may be the case, yes, the other two thread (complete with ''Fantastic news'' and ''Sad News'') may be bait threads.
>>735827993>>735828053
>>735828264*college students
>>735828346LOL.I don't deny the possibilty of a retranslation of the first game regarding the scenes that aren't new.
From a twitter autist
Just make a normal thread and ignore the bait ones?
>all four titleswasn't it only two? or does this include the anime or something?
>>735828803Anime is being turned into an interactive 3D thing and the mobile game is being turned into something for console.
>>735828803Anime gets condensed into a newly made playable section. The shitty unfinished mobage gets the same treatment.
