If they intended her to never be playable, they wouldn't have made her highschool age. They would've given China an adult woman as a maid.
There's absolutely no good reason for her to be a highschooler.

>There's absolutely no good reason for her to be a highschooler.
Have you never read manga? This is normal for rich girls, a girl her age whose parents work for the family head, either as servants or in the business, being made to work as a made for the ojou, mainly to keep her company and as a play friend. It's actually a very normal occurance.

They did that for Yuu but they specifically made her for something other than idoling, as Komino said. Look, I'm not 100% discounting the possibility, but the chances have gone way down because she's not a Hatsuboshi student. If she was at least in the regular course there'd be more to stand on, but as it is being high school age means nothing. Her route would have to drastically divert from the normal timeline by having her enroll together with China.

They did that for Yuu because they needed a host for their radio show.
And going to another school doesn't mean much, because we've already established multiple schools in this universe, and we're established that students can transfer between them.

People willing to play a game in a foreign language and not being able to simply grab it from the app store are already a cut above the general EOP riffraff.

It's easy to make Kanae playable just have China say something like " Shinosawa-san kept saying weird things(lewd stuff) to me what do those words mean, Kanae-san?" "Just what goes on in that school? I must enroll to protect my lady's purity" there you go something I thought of in a minute. I assume the GK staff can think of a better scenario but it's very easy to create a situation where Kanae becomes playable.

Besides I'm sort of interested in her since her relationship with China P is hilarious. They have known each other for six months and all their conversations are work related.

More overseas events, more merch available overseas, more merch in general like other global brands, etc.

Considering China P is always around her and made her grow a lot you would think Kanae would be a lot nicer and more grateful to P.

>>543705774
It's not like we're seeing that being the case in China and Korea, they're not getting tons of lives or being flooded with merch. Anime shops in the US already stock some Idolm@ster goods regardless because it's a popular Japanese IP even without the game. We might get a grand total of 1 live for Gakuen and that'd be it. Those Korean and Chinese lives aren't the same as other lives either due to the very real language barrier between the seiyuu and everyone else and the casts are very small due to the scheduling involved.

Gatekeeping doesn't mean "block access", it means to "restrict access".
Something like iM@S shouldn't be generally available in English. If it got an Asian English release, but had to be imported to be played in the west, that would be okay.

The only NPC I think we'll eventually see as an idol is Rinha because
>newb seiyuu
>series has a precedent of cucking Kuroi
>[IMPORTANT] actually an idol
It's not impossible that Yuu or Kanae could eventually come down the pipeline but they seem farfetched just because it'd be a literal Cinderella Girls TakeP kind of situation where they're just randomly scouted and go "FUCK IT I'M AN IDOL".
In-game, non-idol, voiced NPCs are a rarity pre-GK but I don't necessarily think "VOICE = IDOL" as much as it is the series finally getting with the times somewhat.
I'd be pro-gatekeeping if it was pre-COVID but like 90% of the iM@S English community already fucking sucks and I'd rather not talk to them so the tradeoff of me getting some stuff that's easier to access vs. more annoying people I already don't interact with is basically neutral. It's not like /@/ is great and filled with the cream of the crop posters either because it's easily ignorable 90% of the time and downright shit 8% of the time

>cucking Kuroi
Rinba's contract with him is mutually beneficial to both of them and Kuroi is oddly enough a nice dude in the GK timeline. So I don't think he'll get cucked this time.

Personally I'm buying into the Kanae being playable stocks since it would be a lot better than suddenly getting the 1-3 girls out of nowhere and I think Kanae is an interesting character that shouldn't be stuck in China's route.

How so?
A gatekeeper isn't there to completely stop people from going through a gate. If that's what you want, you just lock the gate. Gatekeeping is intended to make sure only appropriate people enter.
If you have the mental ability to import a foreign game and play it (or jump through account hoops to play it), that means you're probably smart enough for iM@S. Johnny Dumbfuck and his 600K Twitch Subs probably shouldn't be able to go on Steam and check out "That Wacky Dress Up Popstars" game. Just look at the sheer, unvarnished mental retardation that resulted from watching the west have easy access to Uma Musume. How unsightly. I do not want such lowborn filth touching this franchise.
>>
Some anons don't seem to understand, for iM@S to "expand" and be more available outside of Asia it would have to change, it would have to sacrifice what it is to be bring in more money from the West, if that's what you want, do you really care about iM@S?
>>
>>543707747
nothing has survived becoming popular that i can think of, it always leads to ruin as the companies forsake existing fans to prioritize the biggest retards possible and try to attract different markets to keep the line that already went up going up even more. im@s is not special, you're asking for what you currently like to be ruined.

When people say Asia they mean Korean, Chinese, and Japan. SEA has always been looked over especially by other Asians, who view them as lesser human beings. Well the Asians consider everyone not their specific type of Asian to be inferior but SEA has always been a tier lower than that.

Business-wise, you have to worry about song licenses, moral guaradians with a totally different tolerance level than that of the Japanese and copyright minefields (because what is not trademarked in Japan might've been trademarked elsewhere). There's so many games that run into the "have to censor/cover up those sensitive parts like cleavage" problem while SRW had small problems with BGMs when they started expanding to Asia with an English verison (I recall it was Expelled from Paradise, not sure aboit Z Gundam). Maybe throw in some more money towards marketing and promotion since non-otaku and not-nerds have no idea what iM@S is. Imagine handling those add costs on top of the translation efforts. That's not even factoring the return on income expectations from higher-ups and execs.
>>

Hanks dad knew it because he was incredibly racist. The average person thinks of Asians as being from Korea, Japan, or China. It's a funny joke in KotH but there's truth to it, most people can't even name the SEA countries let alone place them on a map.
>>
>>543709247
No, the reason for iM@S not expanding to the west is because the west is fucking insane and would demand for the games to be heavily censored and altered.
>>
>>543709049
Flips have history with Spain and USA too, although they look up to the latter more despite the former ruling over them for a couple of centuries. Japan is like a one-night torture kink (since it only happened during WW2) compared to those two.

I agree Rinha seems most likely, mostly due to the "actually an idol" part.
But I'm not gonna rule anyone else out either, they'd just need more story steps to get there.

Yuu's not an idol, but she could get bullied into changing tracks.
Kanae's not a student, but she could enroll just to make sure GKP doesn't get any funny ideas during school hours.
The other gokugetsus are idols, but they've got the voice thing. But I choose to ignore that because I wanna roll for Nadeshiko at some point.

I don't think they'll all happen. But if the team wants to get them in, there's always a path.
>>
>>543709182
I don't think music would be a difficult idea to sell at all considering the west loves K-pop and GK has a lot of K-pop like tracks. There were similar concerns with uma but they managed to do just fine. If they decide to bring it over it will be a success since the game is streamable which is why uma succeeded in the west. However GK needs some form of end game content aside from contests and rankings if they want to keep the western players engaged.
>>
>>543709542
No, he's right. You're just selfish.
>>
>>543709869
Out of the three Gokugetsus Nadeshiko has the highest chance to be playable since she's actually likeable and has many parallels with China. I actually like their rivalry and it would be a shame if Nadeshiko was just wasted on NIA hell she doesn't even have dialogue in most of the routes.

And it would be a thousand fucking times worse if they had an English release.
The English release of Shiny Festa completely stripped all the swimsuits from the game.

That's the key thing that a lot of people here are missing: We DID get an English release of an iDOLM@STER game, and it was heavily censored! This isn't a hypothetical!

this is actually worse in asia because companies are used to operating there so all the rights are already divided up, you can see it with other games that have collabs with franchises or have localized servers

Depends on the season, for me.
I'm always up for more swimsuits, but there's only so many iterations of "red outfit with fuzzy trim" that I wanna see.
So I'm cool with mixing it up, though I also prefer we don't go all the way to the other end and not do seasonals ever.

Translation patches are very niche, hardly anyone knows or wants to know how to mod their games to apply those, I doubt that would have any meaningful effect, OFA's translation patch was 100% completed last year or so, it didn't do much, something easily accessible like GK global, sure.

Yeah, they had Eriko and Mingosu in Chicago this year and it was probably the single biggest gaijin iM@S meetup I've ever seen.

It was way more than I would've expected given how niche iM@S is outside of Japan and especially in today's era of gaijin otaku culture

We'll never know but with how GK's reveal and launch was shortly after I assume they didn't want it to take attention away from that. IIRC the release was originally early January but got pushed up to Nov.
Would have made more sense to release it in spring to coincide with S1 of the anime

To be fair, they had that shit syndividuality flop...then the pacman metroidvania which wasn't bad but pretty mid...SRWY was cheap....Towas was disappointing especially compared to Hades 2...Even LNM3 was pretty mid across the board. I won't count the Tales remakes since you can't fuck those up too hard anyways. The recent Gundam Ssed release was decent at least. Next up is Code Vein 2.really hoping that turns out well.

Basically, anything with Imas in it didn't fuck up somehow (Digimon and Katamari. Dunnow if the Tales still have the Imas Collab DLC).

The poll is now over and the winner is... a 5 way tie split between Kotone, Temari, Sumika, China Misuzu. A result no one in /@/ was expecting! I'm happy with the mostly even split between all choices. I'm quite surprised that we have a lot of Lipyan Ps. Sumika managing to crawl from having only 1 vote to managing to tie with the others was also surprising since I didn't expect her to be popular with /@/.

Just finished China's Step3. Was pretty good, I'd place it at second for me.

Apart from Sumika's, the Step3 commus so far have been pretty much side stories that end in a time skip after they remember "Oh yeah, we're supposed to be training for HIF". Kotone and Rinami were love comedy side stories where P goes to their homes, and Hiro's was an extended flirting session over a hectic day. I appreciate that China's at least did not involve another jobbing to summer Sena and she actually did beat her in a popularity contest. But only Sumika's so far matched my expectation of what a Step3 would be like, working on the idol's weaknesses in order to compete. It also had the surprise introduction of forming a duo unit. I get that doing the same general outline for all of them would get repetitive though.

Kanae didn't do much to really warrant a voice, but this allows her to pop up in future content so that's alright.

There's still some pacing issues with timeskips in all of them where they're suddenly at the day of winter HIF by the end. I'm sure people want to see Sumika and Lilja starting out as a unit, actually seeing Kotone earn money to pay off tuition, what in the world Hiro does to not die, etc. Maybe Step4 will flash back to some of these events.

Yeah Step 3s so far have the same pacing issues as NIA. I think China's route went above my expectations since my expectations for her were at 0. I really don't like the small time skip they do and make us believe that all of a sudden the idol is now evenly matched with Sena. I want more routes like Sumika's where the idol realizes their flaws and compensates for it by forming a unit since they know 3 months isn't enough to train for HIF.

China and Hiro need the timeskip the least since their NIA happens after the summer HIF already.
That said, there's definitely differences in how they approach preparing for the HIF (winter or otherwise):
- China and Hiro need a miracle to win, so they have to go for unconventional power ups (StuCo President for China, Goddess worship for Hiro)
- Sumika is not good enough to win, but not so much that she needs to be desperate. So simply focusing on fixing her weakness and adding Lilja should be enough
- Rinami and Kotone ARE good enough to win, so need external factors to lose (Dad injury for Rinami, Sena being way stronger in Kotone's route for Kotone). Rinami's route took advantage of this free time to develop an underdeveloped part of her character (her determination to be an idol in a way that doesn't involve P) and Kotone's... really needed to show off Sena, I guess.

Isn't Rinami mediocre, the Lilja of the 3rd years? She was about to give up idoling before P found her.

HIF is competency-based compared to NIA's popularity contest (which ChinaHiro were only able to win because of the format), so if anything China and Hiro should be shown training more in order to show how they can even keep up with Sena without dying. Instead they're off doing other stuff and we're supposed to believe they're fit for competition when none of their idol stat charts have grown from Step2, which I think was a mistake.

I honestly have no fucking clue.

But the moment an SMP call fucking Temari "the blue one" everyone is just silent. Either @ doesn't care about her anymore or something really weird is going on.

Seems pretty consistent that China will become student council president in all timelines come next year. She also gets super popular in the routes where P doesn't produce her too.

The difference may be whether Misuzu manages to drag in Temari and slowly take it over though.

Yeah China is always popular all P does is give her more confidence in herself as an idol. She's one of the idols who needs P the least. Hiro being the vice president is going to be hilarious. I don't think it has been established yet if Miss Suzu and Temari make up in all timelines. Hell even Rinha's status in the timeline is flaky.
