>>564811503I can quit whenever I want.
>>564810721Not that you aren't someone from another general just coming here to shitpost, because you know no one here wants a collabbut the reason we don't have collabs is the last time BA had a collab it potentially lost Nexon millions of dollars, China mass downvoted the game, and chinese vans circled Nexon building for weeks(The vans had derrogatory comments about the game other incendiary comments on them), the company had to issue an apology and basically say they wouldn't do it againAll because BA has one golden rule, the girls do not go around other men, they are for sensei only, they don't even appear around other men at all, other men are literally not even allowed to exist in the game, the reason the game makes money is because certain things are off the table from the start. The game hindges itself on "Making it impossible to start cuckposting to begin with", if the company ever does something that could even potentially cause cuckposting then chinese and korean players will go kamikaze, they've already promised that. The game stops making money immediately if the girls ever get close to other men in official material at all.The entire Mahjong controversy was a dark day for the game that followed right on the heels of the anime airing, and ironically caused a bigger stink than the anime itself.Fans were also pissed because the BA girls got added into a game that had a marriage system. Which lead to some IRL destruction and fallout.

>>564812229>>564812273I understand...
Kaiten is one of the worst raid bosses in the entire game
>>564811954>featureless
>>564811976Its mostly Chinese players, but I "get it". The entire reason BA is popular is because its supposed to understand its niche, and what not to do. What you don't do is just as important as what you do sometimes.Ironically probably no one would care if we were the ones that got the mahjong soul collab and the character came over here, but its because they sold BA characters away, people were much more upset.
Speaking of mahjong, i had no idea mahjong became trendy to play in America. It just came out of nowhere.

Headpat your gogurts
mahjong was enough to send the BA community into a suicidal meltdown + domestic terrorismnow imagine if you had that horse collab
>>564813843Its almost like tourists all see collabs as a punishment, so when tourists started this conversation begging for a collab for BA, what they really wanted was for BA to suffer.
>>564813610Listening to the news a couple times a year, I learned that mahjong shot up in popularity during and after covid and a few days ago I learned that rich snobs now have exclusive clubs to play mahjong. I've just never heard it reach the mainstream ever
>>564811718>but the reason we don't have collabs is the last time BA had a collab it potentially lost Nexon millions of dollars, China mass downvoted the game, and chinese vans circled Nexon building for weeks(The vans had derrogatory comments about the game other incendiary comments on them), the company had to issue an apology and basically say they wouldn't do it againThis is...completely false.Yostar made the collab. Nexon chooses game collabs.
>>564810149you're just a pussy and a faggoti would crack that
>>564814136>Yostar made the collab. Nexon chooses game collabs.Sounds the exact same
>>564813843Aside from the horrible meme potential I'd say the horses are probably less bad for a game than many other games you could collab with. Imagine we actually got the P5 collab everyone jokes about. I loved that game but the cuck memes would blot out the sun if we got playable Joker from the smash hit franchise Persona 5.
>>564814137Roogi solos
Akane Love!
>>564814067I had the same effect when I saw a bunch of white guys playing washizu mahjong randomly on youtube like 10 years ago. But no, it's been surprisingly around for a century.
/bag/ has no reason not to learn mahjong ever since its devastating loss in football to /mjg/
>>564811718>The game hindges itself on "Making it impossible to start cuckposting to begin with"Huh, i guess that's why most male NPCs are innocent and cute looking animals/robots and all masculine looking male NPCs have no human faces and are evil.I don't like NTR myself since it's disgusting, but i'm kinda indifferent about these kind of stuff since it's not really in-your-face so maybe i'm just not picking it up but ultimately i guess the zealous anti-NTR guys are kind of necessary to prevent NTR and outing secondaries.
>>564813843>BA communityIt’s literally just chinks. Hell you can see how soft they are after review bombing sts2 because they nerfed an OP build.
>>564814964why are the male villains so handsome
>>564814983STS2 doesn't need their support hence why they got hard ignored. BA does, that's the difference.
>>564814616>that video is 14 years old now
>>564815096ouf ot 10
>>564814964I'd say it's pretty justified for Koreans (or any other east asian countries for that matter) to be extremely defensive after the whole secret feminist society ruling over SKorea happened.
I finally read through the story last nightIt was superbI really like the banter between Otogi and KurumiSensei talked a lot and has many bold speech option this time aroundKurumi is strangely popular on twitter, much greater than Serika, didn't expect thatAll the Lovecraft references are coolSolid 9/10, Orwell's yapping was confusing af
>>564815297I love it when Gematria dudes keep using complicated foreign words and it confuses the hell out of the nips
Erika is a good girl like always.
>>564813098Oh, Pink is the president. I hadn’t noticed that. I’ll wait for their event to make up my mind. They’re all cute, but if they’re idiots, they won’t be very appealing.
What would it take for BA to reach or surpass its volume F peak?
>>564815380It filtered me too though, and the globalfag will certainty be too
Fake President is sex.That is all.
>>564815587The peak of Volume F was P-sensei. I doubt you can manage anything close to that level of emotion again. Volume F before the reveal was mid at best. This is coming from someone who thinks Pikaman leaving killed the game. Volume EX isn't even close to being as good as Volume F. I have hope with the current JP story though.
>>564815587A time machine. You go back and convince Isakusan not to sabotage the game and leave. Nothing post-Isakusan has gotten even half the attention. 5/6/EX all flopped.
>>564815769>noo i don't understand the schizo's schizobabble!
>>564815807What was Volume EX like?
>>564815854>>564815769bet I could understand it
>>564815769I hate gematria, they sucks at being a villain. Hope they gone for good this time
>>564815894I'm NA only, I'm afraid so I only can speak from the spoilers I read but I wasn't terribly impressed with it. I guess it doesn't help GDD is my least favorite club. Also I kinda forgot most of the spoilers with how bleh they were. Kei is hot as fuck though, holy crap.
>>564815807Reminder that the most concurrent raiders ever was 3rd anniversary/Dress Hina and that not even Mika in a slag swimsuit could match it. Isakusan really was the beating heart of Blue Archive. Fucked up, really.
>>564815821>A time machine.Volume F-2 kino time travel conversation with Phrenapates. Got it.
>>564815821Was the reaction to him leaving really that bad?
>>564815769I find it very educational.
>>564816042>Vol EX isn't even close>btw I haven't read itHoly fucking EOPs with the most insane vomit leaking from their brains
>>564815807Teleporting all my students to safety then kuroko last , made me feel some type of way.
>>564815587season 2 has been already very good
>>564816042Sounds like the new writers don't really "get" blue archive from that description. Kind of a shame
Anyone that doesn't like Gematria doesn't like SOUL. Every time I see the intro to some raid and it's some GSC cunt rambling about dumb shit I just want to delete my BA account. Missing the schizo ramblings of weirdos like Gematria gave this game charm.
>>564814964People that don't understand why this sort of thing is necessary, this is usually their first gacha game. Every other gacha game on the market all the girls get shipped away with other men or cucked away, girls who were for you for years suddenly get shipped to a random NPC, the main heroine of the game gets married to a lion, self insert stuff is seen as an extremely evil word in every other gacha game general, self insert stuff is looked down upon heavily, the girl who is the heroine of a chapter suddenly hits on other girls or says she finds other guys hot, 90% of discussion in other gacha game generals is just directionless cuckposting, girls who even are for you get cuckposted to death until people stop posting them entirely, to this day there's a Muramasa x Castoria day in fgog who posts them together daily just because he hates "self insert fags" for years, in GBF the fate episodes are girls dating other men or being shipped with random NPC men half the time, there was a swimsuit alt they sold as heavily for the player, only for it to end with the girl dating a troon and saying she feels nothing for the MC. In a market where every other gacha game is retarded, BA took a stand and said "it's a game where every girl lives the MC and other men literally don't exist"If you think it's just a trivial thing in the game then it might not be the game for you, BAfags are made from fans of other games who wanted that stuff to stop happening. The devs said the most important part when making the game was "no males"You only appreciate it if you've played a dozen other gacha games, what BA goes out of this way to not do that everyone else manages to get wrong.
Chihiro, the comfiest w-ACK
Vol F goodVol Ex badNo..I'm not reading story btw.
>>564816189People said the same about the last abydos story. Usually stories are interesting and well made near the beginning, it takes effort to fuck up the beginning.What truly matters is if the story can follow through until the end and hit the landing.thats the tricky part
>>564815807>Volume EX isn't even close to being as good as Volume F. I have hope with the current JP story though.>>564816042>I only can speak from the spoilers I readThis is the sort of shit I'd make up as a strawman for shitposting except I didn't make it up.
>>564816223Drop dead asshole, glad Shiroko terror massacre y'all
I'm noticing
>>564816340Only good thing I can say about Volume EX is I'm glad it is over.
>>564816223based
>>564816159>>564816340Others have actually read volume EX and said similarly. Honestly it's one of those spoilers where it doesn't change your opinion if you went in blind versus if you already know what happens, so this is a mute point to bring up.
>>564816214>Sounds like the new writers don't really "get" blue archive from that description.You can't blame them. Pikaman and the other traitors leaving left big shoes to fill and on short notice to boot.
The Arknots high wore off already?
>>564816632I mean they threw out subtlety out the window going from Mahjong to Pikaman
Volume Ex's students and group dynamic > the shitfest from Volume F
Since Asakusa Natsuki finally confirmed to be a unique NPC, she probably will also get the same treatments in the future.
>>564815807It's shrimple to get that level of kino again a series of flashbacks at the end of this arc revealing the story of the original world and why GSC president chose to do what she did, showing how close she was to sensei, only to give it all up and start over in a world where he no longer remembered her, as she worked her hardest in the background all the way up to now. People are a sucker for the side character that suffered in secret in the background the entire time for the MChttps://youtu.be/HD4Kg7pxyAg?si=DE_zj_lxHByw8MdL
>>564815807>This is coming from someone who thinks Pikaman leaving killed the gameThis one hurts to read because it gets more true the longer time passes. We're 3 years since volume F came out and BA still hasn't put out anything as good.Once he left BA just felt like something being puppeted around to maintain its sheer inertia. There's movement but the soul is all gone
I thought everyone agreed volume 1 just kinda sucks (even though hoshino is really popular)
Hmm, seems like image less posts just repeat the same shit.
>>564816632You have no idea how upset I am to have missed this morning, jannies have completely vanished that topic so all I can do is read the archives and laugh

>>564816585It's been 2 years. At some point patience runs out and you start to blame the current team for not being able to deliver. Volume EX wasn't close to being nearly as good as Volume F was.

>>564816819>Once he left BA just felt like something being puppeted around to maintain its sheer inertiaYeah, it's just running on forward momentum at this point and so many just can't bear to accept this truth. I hate it so much that this is the case. There is no going back.

I want to touch the pyramid on Maki's halo
>>564817193it's been kind of the general feeling about BA since last year, yeah. Most buzz around BA today is because of how good those first few years were. But that can only hold people's attention for so long if the current team doesn't put out something truly compelling
>>564816214Volume 6 is still consistent with the theme of the game, sacrificing others for the majority is bad actually. When Subaru cast Maia out for the peace of others, sensei shows why that's bad. Volume 4, volume 5, every other chapter has been a story of hope crushing despair.Sacrificing people for the peace of the majority is bad, sacrificing yourself for the majority is bad, you must always work to find another way instead of letting that edgy "for the greater good" reasoning ever have powerSensei in every volume tries to protect the students from being suicidal retards who want to sacrifice themselves, or Rio wants to sacrifice Alice for the greater good, the entire game is about how that mentality is not only entirely wrong but it's harmful for people to accept as necessary.Volume EX is the only story that feels like it breaks that theme. And it's not just because deca girls all die, and deca himself dies when in any other chapter or this game they would have saved him as well, since this is an idealist game about saving everyone, but Momoi at the end saying she would sacrifice herself for Midori basically tells the audience that sacrifice mentality is now a good thing again. It spit in the face of the themes of every other chapter in the game because the game has always chastised that mentality where something must be sacrificed for the good of others, it's a harmful idealogy.
>>564817193That is a lovely doomfox, may I save it?
This seems like a Juri general.
>>564817207Yeah, they wouldn't be if they weren't here 24/7.
The way I see it, BA is basically just limping along until the next popular otaku-focused thing comes out and hits the big leagues, then all the artists and such can finally drop BA now that they have an alternative. Sucks but nothing lasts forever
Bro it’s literally the same exact posts about volume EX again………..
I have deja vu

>>564815297>Orwell's yapping was confusing afI found it a lot more relatable than Golconda's earlier rants. It's actual common philosophy.
>>564817482Volume 6 is only consistent because it's an almost direct continuation story from one of the old writer's stories. They were basically forced to stick within the confines of the old writing.EX by contrast took a drastic pivot midway through, partly because it was I'll-defined even under the old writing. So the new writers in charge saw it as a blank slate to say, "this is the new tone and direction of blue archive moving forward"

>>564816971Why?
>>564816495>Honestly it's one of those spoilers where it doesn't change your opinion if you went in blind versus if you already know what happensI feel like that's completely wrong. You can take it more lightly if you know it has a terrible ending. If you were reading the last part on your own without knowing anything, you could feel hope that got ultimately crushed as you click through the epilogue. It came after the cruel and tasteless ending video too, so I was just annoyed and kept clicking hoping to see the line that would save it.

The end result is you coming out unhappy that the writers basically did not understand the assignment or what BA fundamentally is about. wrapping it around a bunch of story context and moment-to-moment dialogue doesn't change the core understanding of what EX is about.

>>564817839I've been really looking forward to the new events because they've been so consistently good, even the latest mini-story was great.Vol EX I think has the unfortunate position of going on long enough that it spans multiple writers so I'm willing to cut them some slack, and at very least it still delivers in a bunch of other ways (new students/alts, the new fights, music, even the lobby is cool).

Not reading spoilers doesn't change the underlying flaws.

>>564819426Ex delivered on the most important thing - cute girls doing cute things and making them endearing.Rio, Toki, Eimi, Aris and Momoi all got stellar development and moments. Maybe I just have massively different priorities, but this game has always been more about cute girls doing retarded things than miracles.I still expect a happy end for the deccas eventually though, I don't think it needs to be clear sailing 24/7, there were certainly chunks of early volumes that weren't.

I've been in the mental hospital for the past 10 days after a suicide attempt and haven't checked any thing blue archive related during that time because of limited internet access what did I miss?
>>564817750they tried to shape it using previous stories as if it was a culmination of everything before, and it's irritating as a result. I really disliked them hinging things on "well that's the lesson of volume 1 chapter 3, right?" when they kept (KEPT) repeating that you must move on, bad shit happens.In volume 1 chapter 3, that was in reference to something that happened 2 years prior. In every story in the game so far, the characters literally always reject tragedy and work together and there's even a volume (2) brought up in ex, but also ignored and contradicted in ex, and it's just a messI don't want to talk about it anymore thoughI'm glad the new stories are good, but to me ex was a very big mistake, and it annoys me how many players just go "It made me cry so it's good"
You can REALLY tell that someone didn't read half of Kei's dialogue during Volume EX Chapter 3.
We WILL save the decacunnies... eventuallyMaybe not now but in the future.

Just realised that the Blue Archive tag finally surpassed the Fate (Series) tag on danbooru.I'm not gonna lie.BA character designs are so fucking cool. Like I get why artist like drawing BA characters.They are simple but very expressive at the same time.
Saw a guy posting a tierlist about what students would make good mothers, but lets be real. There is no student that would not make an excellent mother if they were to become pregnant with Sensei's child. There is not a single student that lacks the heart and good nature required to be a good mother. Some may have certain quirks to them that may make them seem like they could be inadequate, but they would all without fail rise to the occasion once they see the product of their love with Sensei. Of this, I am sure

>>564819838I read the summary, it’s pretty much the same as reading the full story
>>564819919Honestly as someone who grew up during the Touhou Boom, Blue Archive reminds me a lot of it.Amazing recognizable music gets used even by people who have no idea what BA isExtremely high quality fanworkEntire conventions dedicated just for that IP
>>564819952Don't think of Hifumi naked. She is not erotic! It is only me who is allowed to think of her naked.
>>564820031Huh?What?I've read chapter 0 only, that's what I'm basing that opinion on, in case you're trying to jerk off into your own mouth about the phantom summary readers.
>>564819919You've made this post three times
>>564819824I'm not glad if it signals a shift in where BA is going in terms of theme. Because that would mean it doesn't stop just at Volume EX. Especially since it'll be the same writers as the one who wrote EX.Like yeah new story good but new story also isn't over. Remember that people were also saying the same thing about EX until the ending.
There will be space in the tablet for fake GSC President if Sensei deletes his porn files.

>>564820087Funnily enough, the reason I play is because of the music. I wanted context to the songs.
>>564820087What Blue Archive lacks however, is a thriving musical arrange community. Only once there are circles pumping out almost unrecognizable versions of in game music has it truly reached Touhou status.
I vibe read, you don't actually read anything you just kind of make it all up in your head and get angry when people disagree with you.
>>564817482Incredible. You are dumber than Momoi.If you came out of that scene and Vol EX in general with the message that "sacrifice is fine actually" then I'm afraid you have the reading comprehension of a literal child.

>>564819752>Ex delivered on the most important thing - cute girls doing cute things and making them endearing.I'd disagree with this, actually wrote in the story how much I disliked this.There's SO. MUCH. goofing off in Volume ex, even after character death. Too fucking much.Remember how after the terrorist attack in volume 3 everything just fucking CHILLS? Hanako stops making jokes, there's no more tsukkomi from Koharu, Hifumi is crying and Azusa isn't funny anymore? In volume ex sadness lasts for like half a step and then jokes get made again.The fucking clash is so awkward, it's like it's desperate to "be entertaining". Pace is important. You didn't get jokes in volume 3 (or honestly, ANY other volumes) until there was basically a lull in things. Things are frenetic in ex and jokes just keep coming, and it really puts a damper on the admittedly good moments where things are being taken seriously.I wrote a whole autistic screed about how they need to pull back the jokes. That was before the ending (which also has this problem, albeit a LITTLE less)

>>564820147No because I remember the opposite where gooks and nips are pretty lukewarm and EX at the start then loving the final part.

>>564819919BA is definitely the Touhou of the 2020s, and it's not even a Japanese game too (though the composers and some of the artists are Japanese).
>>564820206I'll bite. How is Momoi's answer to the thought experiment not a blatant contradiction basically affirming that sacrifice is sometimes necessary? Something that directly contradicts what she told Rio earlier (in the same volume, even)
>>564819871I am not defending the retard who hasn't read the story.I spit on him but at least he shares my opinion on the conclusion, even if arrived it in the wrong way.But we have several globalfriends, who have not read the story but who do know the spoilers, defend the part which spits on the rest of the story. Try and tell me it's not because they haven't bonded with the children. Try and tell me that Blue Archive would have survived had Mika died at the end of volume 3 with the """HOPE""" that she would return someday.

The difference is obviously that BA from the start was backed up by corporations... which is kind of plus for BA because Touhou clearly changed (for worse) after ZUN married, had two kids and started being more interested in Touhou as profitable franchise than doujin project.

You can't critique anything. You can have an opinion on a big event that happened, but you will have no emotional backing for it.>>564820587Fuck no. I love every other story in BA. Love silly events. Give me more of that, less of edgeshit. Make cliche stories where hope and love triumph.
>>564820610not me
>>564820447There's a ton of roombas in V.Ex, you're gonna have to narrow it down a little to what you really mean.
>>56482054530 seconds after by Momoi.
>>564820227If I had to guess I imagine the new Vol EX will be different from the other volumes in part 2 in that it will run parallel to each chapter and continually get new additions
>>564816751I hope so.
>>564820251So we need stakes?
>>564820321The sacrifice that gets discussed at the very end is a callback to what the decagakis did. It's not so much about a choice based on pure rationality in order to achieve the most optimal result like what the trolley problem presents. It's about the situation being an ultimatum, where there is absolutely no choice but to either do nothing and watch someone you love get the worst of it, or take their place because you feel it's your responsibility to protect a loved one no matter what. What Momoi said - that she'd give Midori the last escape pod - is exactly the same thing the decagakis had done just some time before for Sensei and the others, as well as what Sensei himself did in Vol EX, in multiple occasions if you include Phren. It's not a matter of necessity.
>>564820447idk what you mean, I haveI also hated that speech because it was again super "fictional". Basically, like...Okay>Yume's deathdies alone in a pile of earth, in horrible pain, having never gotten closure with her underclassman>PSensei's deathIs unable to speak due to a plate over his face. Cannot convey his final words to Shiroko. Even though he gets a magical pseudo revival, there is nothing nice about it. Like most deaths, his simply comes and he can't do anything about it.>Decacunnies' deathThey spend like 3 minutes talking after making a "heroic sacrifice" and they make their last (pretty generic) wishes to the cast that they want their sister to live. They perish with smiles on their faces, like in an anime.

It's great so far, looking forward for the Chapter 2.Tsukiyuki was taking shower at Schale at night...
Whenever certain people who are a fan of something see it get criticized, they'll often start incoherently shitposting in order to create the narrative that all the criticism was also just shitposting. They want to muddy the waters with shitposting. There's one group in particular that really enjoys this tactic.
>>564818809>/lcg/you can't even make this shit up
>>564816971I've only read up to the Halo Festival events Now starting V2C2
>>564820712You can critique it, actually. This is needless hair splitting, the spoilers just tell you the correct information about Volume EX valuing sacrifice and hardship instead of the happy miracle ending. The same exact thing you get if you were to read it yourself. There is literally no difference from a standpoint in criticizing this change in direction.You said it yourself, both arrived at the same conclusion about Volume EX because the information is the same, despite one having read it and the other only reading spoilers.
>>564820251>You didn't get jokes in volume 3 (or honestly, ANY other volumes) until there was basically a lull in things.This is objectively false.I've had this argument with you the last time you had this rant though. I'm not having it again.>Remember how after the terrorist attack in volume 3 everything just fucking CHILLS?No, I remember it stopping for a looney tunes skit in the middle of it.VF has the gourmets wandering around talking about Aru's sushi in the middle of the world ending calamity and Sensei insisting on using a cardboard mecha to save the world.BA's willingness to mix the students being retards with more serious shit, usually while playing it straight is part of the charm.The real kicker being I'm not even on about comedy moments, other than Toki and Eimi's banter in the opening parts of EX before shit got serious.I'm on about Rio's moment with Aris which was a long time coming and heartwarming.I'm on about Momoi being the heart of the GDD and actually having to be (moderately) mature for a change when Sensei trusts her to get the message.That's what I'm praising, and I know based on your prior rant that the Rio/Aris thing didn't land for you, but I'd wager you're in the minority.
is this safe to post?
>>564818869No one will agree with you but I will. Knowing a spoiler in most cases is as good as reading the story 70% of the time.

The thing that really grinds my gears with the Vol EX slander is that these morons seriously think the new writers don't understand BA, and that the story will go on a slippery slope of edge and whatnot.Actual retarded drama queen behavior.
>>564820830What sauceless chibis
I have some extra money but I'm not sure if I should spend it on pakeji or on taking the Big Texan 72 ounce steak challenge.
>>564821063Raskolnikov confesses.
>>564820830... the loser competition!
>>564820087>>564820303As a Touhoufag since 2007 with over 10 figures, 1ccs on most games, physical doujin and cds, BA has pretty much replaced it for me. Part of it is because I've grown dissatisfied with how ZUN has been handling the series. For all the problems the pikaman betrayal brought us, I believe the new blood injected into BA is going to be ultimately be a good thing for the franchise. As another anon pointed out though, I wish the music scene was bigger, Touhou is still the king there.
>>564820685See I don't think that's a flaw of ex. That's fine. Good, even. The sacrifice in the story is not treated as a victory or something to be pleased with, and in the first place the decacunnies don't really get lessons about how sacrificing yourself is "wrong" (if anything, Tiphareth sets the opposite example for them).I maintain basically the issue isn't that they died (although I dislike it), but that no attempts were made to save them/no thoughts were given to potentially recover them/there's several times you get, essentially, characters like fucking ARIS (???) saying "shit happens and that's okay". Sure, the idea is suffering is a part of living, but this coming out of a pure optimist's mouth and being framed as maturity feels nasty. Feels like a misread of v1c3 "Hoshino carried on, right?" Hoshino's life was horrible rended by her loss and she's still not okay, she's just able to manage it better.
>>564820830>that framerate>the soulless motion captureThere is a very good reason the BA chibis are soulful
>>564820809This is literally no different from what Rio was suggesting earlier. From her point of view, she was effectively presented with an ultimatum.Both Rio and Momoi's thought experiments operate under the premise of necessary outcomes in non-ideal circumstances. Yet Momoi criticized Rio for this, only to come to Rio's exact same conclusion: that she would welcome sacrifice if it was deemed necessary. When previously her answer was to reject this entirely and instead find some other option.
>>564820830this is nauseating, never post it again
>>564821112Look, ignore all of the stellar events and momos we've had recently - the decca cunnies were lost.We need to go back to the good old times like V1C3 and the stellar ending Suou got, only Isakusan understands BA.
>>564820830Trying too hard
Any bros here who went or are going to Miku Expo?
>>564821009
>>564820809It's the same ultimately, it's them accepting that sacrifice is now good or acceptable. In a game that's done it's best to create the idea that it's never acceptable and you should always find a better way, they end the story on how "sometimes it's alright if the situation calls for it", however by signing off on it in some circumstances you effectively make it okay in all circumstances, every situation now becomes "well if the previous circumstances called for it then surely now as well", because you taught the viewer that it's kinda okay now, people will search for other situations where it's okay now. You gave them permission to seek out reasons to sacrifice themselves for others whenever you can't think of something at the first trouble now, instead of finding a better way. Blue Archive was originally a game without original sin in some ways, characters don't die, sacrifice is never acceptable, and characters will always find a way, within a short amount of time every previous theme was disregarded. When those themes are broken the game doesn't become more interesting, it actually becomes much more generic like everyone else. Previously you had iron will morals about ALWAYS trying to do better, now you just have the same generic "well if you can help it sometimes" morals that every other game has.
>>564821223>if it was deemed necessaryExcept it isn't. That's the whole thing. It's something done out of pure emotion rather than logic.
weekend /bag/ sure is something else
>>564821138save for computer parts. your current build is... inadequate, to say the least
>>564820930This is not a textbook. You cannot have an actual opinion without emotions, and you cannot have emotions without first-hand experience. >>564821112It's called a precedence. And guess what, you're using the exact same thing just from the other side.You're saying the story from now on will have happy endings because that is what's been established until now.I say the story from now on can possibly have another tragic death of children because it's already happened once.
>>564820251>Remember how after the terrorist attack in volume 3 everything just fucking CHILLSNo.>Sensei answering the 5th koan with swimsuits and panties>Saori and Achuko getting exploded after slicing open Professor Peroro>Sensei inviting Hina to a swimsuit symposium>Abydos going FAUST! FAUST! FAUST! and embarrassing HifumiAll of these moments happened after the cruise missile fiasco. Comedic elements were always mixed in during serious moments in Blue Archive's story so your complaint rings hollow.
>>564821368Difference of intent is meaningless when the end result is the exact same. It's specifically this end result that momoi criticized Rio about, only to again, arrive at Rio's conclusion by the end of EX. All because the writers suddenly favor BA being a story about necessary sacrifices instead of everyday miracles
>>564820993>This is objectively false.>I've had this argument with you the last time you had this rant though. I'm not having it again.>>>Remember how after the terrorist attack in volume 3 everything just fucking CHILLS?>No, I remember it stopping for a looney tunes skit in the middle of it.I haven't argued with you at all, but I'd recommend that you reread it. Basically, no + wtf are you talking about? Makoto?Jokes return as Sensei leaves Seia. I'm noticing you craftily are ignoring that I mentioned none of the main characters making jokes, though for what it's worth basically no characters make jokes until Sensei says the swimsuit/panties thing.>VF has the gourmets wandering around talking about Aru's sushi in the middle of the world ending calamity and Sensei insisting on using a cardboard mecha to save the world.You are completely, completely, completely fucking missing my point even though I spelled it out for you. Please reread my post, since I think you're biased and confused thinking I'm some other guy.>That's what I'm praising, and I know based on your prior rant that the Rio/Aris thing didn't land for you, but I'd wager you're in the minority.You really are arguing with ghosts, I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about

It's very serious.
>>564821406The only thing resembling textbook is your rigid idea that you can't form an opinion that draws from the exact same set of facts and information just because you didn't experience it the "correct" way. Like a textbook.Honestly your reasoning is bizzare, do you suddenly think someone who read the spoiler and is bummed out about Volume EX concluding the way it did will suddenly gain new insights by reading it in-game? Like no dude, it literally tells you the exact same shit as the spoilers
This is not a Seia. You cannot have an actual Seia without Seia, and you cannot have Seia without first-hand Seia.It's called a Seia. And guess what, you're using the exact same Seia just from the other side.You're saying the Seia from now on will have happy Seias because that is what's been established until now.I say the Seia from now on can possibly have another tragic death of Seia because it's already happened once.
>>564821206Everyday until you like it
>>564821524how big of a team does it take to make chibis like BA's, it's always so deceptively simple but I bet one dude in his basement wouldn't stand a chance

>>564821463>>Remember how after the terrorist attack in volume 3 everything just fucking CHILLS>No.Wow, TWO people literally ignoring everything>>Sensei answering the 5th koan with swimsuits and pantiesHappens after the "chills" I mentioned.>>Saori and Achuko getting exploded after slicing open Professor PeroroNot a joke you fucking psychopath, Azusa literally sobs in the rain after this and Saori thinks Atsuko fucking died.>>Sensei inviting Hina to a swimsuit symposium>Abydos going FAUST! FAUST! FAUST! and embarrassing HifumiYou have no capacity to understand a goddamn thing, do you?>The fucking clash is so awkward, it's like it's desperate to "be entertaining". Pace is important. You didn't get jokes in volume 3 (or honestly, ANY other volumes) until there was basically a lull in things.

>>564821625>will suddenly gain new insights by reading it in-game?He won't, because he already read the spoilers before. Honestly, I truly believe globaltards are fucked when it comes to experiencing this game. On one hand I pity you for not being able to enjoy this god-tier game as God intended, but I know full-well there would be leaks for everything if there was release parity.>>564821594This goes back to >Try and tell me that Blue Archive would have survived had Mika died at the end of volume 3 with the """HOPE""" that she would return someday.
Good thing, right? Kim Yong ha only listens to opinions from JP and KR.
So many walls of text early in the morning...
>>564821752It was true art, designed to make you feel what Nagato felt. Soul-crushing boredom.
>>564821603What's dishonest about it? The guy specifically said that things stopped being comedic AFTER the terrorist attack. His fault for not being more specific with his retarded complaints.
We should also talk about how momotalks are terrible and what I think they can do to fix it
Momoi's shoes do not get slandered enough
>>564821840>You didn't get jokes in volume 3 (or honestly, ANY other volumes) until there was basically a lull in things
>>564821817concerning, I think we should activate it
>>564821205It honestly is really bizarre how the characters suddenly do a complete personality switch compared to how they act in other stories before V.Ex. At least in terms of willpower and outlook. I chalk it up to the lead writer wanting to do a different story for BA but not realizing it contradicts BA on a fundamental level. To me that's extremely dangerous they went ahead with this
>>564821817seia's sexiness turns us all into angry beasts
>>564821840After can be like 5 years after. It's pretty clear what he meant. Even though his other criticisms of the lighter moments of Ex are stupid, the one thing I can't forgive if Momoi acting dumb during a funeral.
>>564821882Yeah why doesn't anyone tell her they're STUPID
>>564821923all I can do is send passionate feedback admonishing it in in 2 months, I guess.
>>564821882They're for aurafarming
>>564820907weird projection but okay
are we hoarding ap for the new event tomorrow?
>There was a lull in things>Seconds after the "Hina has just been hit by a cruise missile"
She's so beautiful.
Reminder that all this started just because someone said he didn't think Vol.EX was as good as Vol.F.
>>564821923It's almost as if death is a very final thing and miracles can only do so much, at least on such short noticeI still think you are a bunch of retarded drama queens who fundamentally cannot understand how a long-term story works, especially now with all the new lore hints and Malkuth even showing up in the PV
>>564821692Nexon is worth 18 billion dollarsMoney gets you the good shit
>>564822105I am, but I also have the fear that Im making a mistake
>>564822165>le sigh....
>>564821925>Even though his other criticisms of the lighter moments of Ex are stupidPuh-leaseI even saw some nips murmuring about it being too much, and they're hardly EVER critical. It also definitely is not usual. While yes BA is often funny, it also often "turns the funny switch off" when things are legitimately too serious for laughter.That even happens in volume 4 chapter 1, like the silliest chapter in the game.
>>564822235We have a long term story, good. I guess we can kill a bunch more since we're reviving everyone at the end of the story arc. Who's on the chopping block?
>>564822336Slippery slopeTry again

>>564822235It's almost as if death hasn't actually surfaced for active, ongoing scenarios with sensei's involvement, until nowIts almost as if death even coming up is the exact problem people have issue with
>>564822235nta but I love the "putting words in someone's mouth" thing, where the criticism is plainly "the characters didn't act appropriately" and your takeaway is "duhhhh you mean you think they won't get revived??"

For what it's worth I think Part 2 looks pretty good so far.Though it is funny FOX gets treated to some really nice meals RABBIT Squad btfo
>>564822372That is not what slippery slope is. Slippery slope would be imagining something new with no direct correlation to the previous thing.Example of slippery slope: The guy who stole his parents' money is probably going to murder his neighbor if we don't lock him upRepeating the same exact thing that already happened again is not slippery slope.Example of precedence: The guy who stole his parents' money is probably going to steal it again someday.
>>564822572Are you actually going to try to be satisfied with a singular moment followed by like 4 episodes of no jokes as "a win"?I mean I don't care if you do, but if you do it's pretty small.
>Terrible gameplay >Bad story >Mediocre artwhy would you play this game?
>>564822513Unironically yes. For starters, the current writers making the main story now aren't the same ones as the old writers who left the company. It was those old writers specifically who made all the main stories that people actually love about BA
>>564822614WAKE UP
>>564822550(btw that this exists and is the first title drop of the game makes me hate volume ex even fucking more)
I wasn't following the entire convo and I haven't read EX 3 (globalcuck here) but I've always said that the way this game mixes drama and comedy is masterful and honestly one of it's strenghts
>>564822441I do. I want good endings so much.
>>564822630Uh oh, Retard is mad for being proven wrong while trying to be the authoritative voice of story reception in /bag/. Spamming paragraphs doesn't make you right buddy.
>>564822714>but I've always said that the way this game mixes drama and comedy is masterful and honestly one of it's strenghtsOf course it is. But it's better to not mention who pushed for that in the writing based on the interviews.

I may be forgetting other things, since it's been a while since I read it.
>>564822615>For what it's worth I think Part 2 looks pretty good so far.Everyone says this about every new volume. It doesn't actually mean anything. The thing that actually matters is the followup: does it reaffirm what you love about BA or does it take a diarrhea dump all over what it used to represent? you won't know the former or the latter until the end.

The only thing of note he did was the Kisaki double which also notably doesn't have the best ending with Kisaki still being ill.

>>564822875We don't like Hifumi's speech here. She is preaching about happy endings to poor girls who knew nothing but suffering for their whole lives while she spends her wealth on ugly hippo plushies. She is rich bully who bullies abused child soldiers because they don't share her preferences in dumb cartoonish stories.

>>564821161Spoiler retards have probably never read anything worthwhile in their lives, so it is generous of you to assume they even know who Raskolnikov is, they could not even pronounce his surname.
>>564822958>volume 2, volume 4 and event writers are still with the team. only pikachuman jumped the ship.That just makes things sound even worse. BA kept the writers for the volumes considered the worst in the game while losing the writer responsible for the volumes considered to be the absolute peak of BA's storywriting (Eden Treaty, Volume F).
I want big witches to force themselves on me
>>564822940nta I don't think thisI don't see why volume ex (an outlier) should be a standard to judge things against. Irritatingly, volume ex also tries to have its cake and eat it too by bringing up hype moments like the deca bots coming to your side, Kei and Aris ascending, or the final actual fight with Deca where she's overwhelming you to turn you into machines << really, these are all spoilers. If you're a random anon reading this reply chain, don't look--anyway, it does that but it's all after a really miserable point that is not given a lot of time, and they try to justify it as "there IS no time" but it just makes Sensei seem callous, and just...It's all so awkward that it sticks out as unusual.I think they just really really wanted to "be subversive" one single time, because "powerful art is subversive" (bullshit, btw)

>>564823007With how Sensei acted? During it or after it all ended? During he tried to ignore it completely to not lose his cool. After? Completely dejected? Saying he must not cry because it's his responsibility to accept their death and tell AroPla to look for clues if he hasn't overlooked something which could have been done to prevent this?That is your big clue that Blonde Prez or Shuro 100% won't disappear? Because I'm not I 100% think they will disappear either. I am saying there's a possibility now, even if it's 1%, that they will disappear to hit another "sad note" in the story. Before, I would never even consider that. Before, I was 100% certain those kids would be brought back before the volume ended. They weren't, so the possibility exists that it will happen again.
>>564822939>transition sceneI don't really mind what it gets called but it's literally slides after the Hina CG and then goes straight into more drama.We've gone from>There are no jokes>Well, there are jokes during the lullsto>Jokes sandwiched inbetween dramaI'm not sure if you'd class Hiyori taking on Hina as a joke with how absurd the matchup and dialogue is or nuns in swimsuits showing up etc, but there's plenty of absurdity in BA interwoven with anything serious happening.If some people don't think the jokes landed in EX or they stood out more, fair enough - but claiming it's some change in writing style seems crazy to me.Either way, threads struggle to avoid being shit enough without dragging another schizo fight on, especially when I only got into this for saying that the Rio + Aris forgiveness scene in EX and some Toki / Eimi moments made the volume worthwhile for me.All 3 were characters I was relatively apathetic about and came out of EX liking enough to spark Toki and probably spark bEimi.Making characters endearing is what I want most out of the story.
>>564823439>I can't wait to read Vol EX when it comes out on global and expose these retards desuI read this exact same post but for Vol 1 Ch 3. Only for people to basically conclude when it DID come out on global that it's a hot mess of a volume and that spoilerfags were right.

>>564823421The missing ingredient is actually Hifumi. Volume 1 before chapter 3, Volume 3, Volume F and Volume 6 were good and they have her. The sad sentimental bullshit of V1C3 and VExC3 wouldn't happen if she was around.

>>564819312That's right, too bad we still have schizo impersonators from time to time here, hence why this general will never improve
>>564823631V1C3 had way, WAY bigger issues on a fundamental writing level and was much more contentious in general. These two or three retards screeching about Vol EX once a week does not even come close to how bad it got during the second half of V1C3
>>564823675I am weak for believing there would be no death in blue archive? Sure, I guess I am weak then.>>564823631What spoilerfags lmaoAll of that was pushed by globaltards who read summaries.

>>564821063>Knowing a spoiler in most cases is as good as reading the story 70% of the timeMostly agreed with the exception of mystery / detective fiction
>>564823421NTA it would be because the team agreed on that direction.I'll play devil's advocate, because I do understand volume ex's "intention", I just think that that intention was a terrible goal. Basically the volume is ultimately about "life" and whether life is worthwhile even if it's bad. There's also an attempt to address every main story major point, even "it's okay to lie" from volume 5 as Sensei says he's willing to critique people for sacrificing themselves--BUT would sacrifice HIMSELF for a student. Ohr calls this hypocrisy, and Sensei says it's why in volume 2 he couldn't immediately say that Rio was "wrong". This is good writing! We know Sensei is a hypocrite via "show don't tell". In volume F, he sacrificed himself for ShirokoThe decas are also learning throughout. Them sacrificing themselves is an outright logical conclusion. Kei becoming enraged, Sensei being devestated, these line up. These make sense for the story. Even Aris saying "realist" type things makes sense as this volume has her directly confronted by Sof over how she can be optimistic in a world where death exists. It wants to be a story about learning, about living, and all that...just, yknow, problem: those stories it's referencing are very much about comforting those who are sad, never giving up, refusing bad stuff, and most importantly: miraculous intervention (which happens in volume ex but is "only mostly miraculous").tl;dr for me is that they had a goal and met it, but that it was rather contrived to get there, and that "feel bad" is not what this game is about.

>>564823631We have vastly different memories then.I remember V1C3's reception on live mostly being "this isn't as bad as it was hyped up to be" considering we had shitposters trying to claim it had yuri in it etc.The weeks after it hit live were spent shitting on people that were drumming it up as being worse than it was.Perception seems to have soured over time, but it's probably deserved. It's not as bad as it was hyped up to be but it is the messiest story chunk.

>>564823631v1c3 is still consistent with BA, anyone who thinks it isn't ironically did not read v1c2 where you are all but told that Yume is dead, Hoshino has PTSD, and Hoshino is suicidal
>>564820830What game is that?
>>564823945>v1c3 was written by the old writers who had long since lost sight of what made Blue Archive what it isIt fullfils everything in Hifumi's speech. Everything. And that speech is Blue Archive.

>>564824085I do not know. Perhaps.It does but me since the PD (Yongha Kim) is still there, but it seems that his "direction" is either not entirely strong, or he freely lies since he's been open about how what makes BA so nice is that it refuses tragedy and "has no death*"*no "currently living character" death, of course.The positive reception of volume ex worries me a bit, but I am coping because the reception to volume ex was not huge. I remember talking about it with a non-player, how "volume F broke the internet" and he couldn't avoid Blue Archive at that time. Volume ex ended? Crickets.It was well received, but it didn't start a fire, so I hope that at least discourages them (it could just be my own bias, but it feels like there's been way more buzz about the new story than there was about volume ex ending)

>>564823842I just see it as an intentional emotional low point that's both setting up a peak and playing a part in Sensei's character development and even the worldbuilding as a whole with the way mystics workI think people are making a mountain out of a molehill

I deadass don't want a third Arona in my tablet...

And his attention towards BA has been divided for years now, his actual main duties are officially the other project now.

>>564823886I want to molest Aris so fucking bad
Volume 4 is the best written story in Blue Archive. It actually showed a perfectly paced love story of the most beautiful student in Kivotos going from hating to loving Sensei. It didn't rely on on massive shonenshit spectacle but stayed focused on the relationships of Sensei and his students. It even acts as the proper bridge to GSC storylines which means that it is the most relevant Part 1 volume. Miyako is simply the winner.
>>564824678>You should've not skipped your english lessons, eslbro
>>564824402Same. Arius and Suou didn't end their respective arcs in a particularly great place. Aris were went back to in V6, I expect Suou to get it eventually.Deccas situation seems much grimmer but they're also probably the only candidates FOR that since they're not students.They're (hopefully) unwilling to do that with students and no one would give a shit if it was a dogman or robot.>>564824576>Don't make light of this, seriously.Being hopeful isn't making light of it.
I can't imagine anyone hates V3 for anything other than being a contrarian. I hated Mika cause she is popular but I cannot deny how good her character arc was.
>>564824584no one says this
>>564824874You're the esl here if you can't read English.
Time for pats.
Pat you are students
>>564824850>Miyako is simply the winner.and the student I hate most
>>564824581>Citation neededI actually watched a lot of streams of people giving their opinions after the credits. I do believe the biggest Blue Archive streamer is アニアン. Want to hear what he had to say>I don't believe they (decaloli) are coming back, but that was a Godly storyNo surprise this comes after he starts playing Stella Sora. And that's the biggest influencer on the retarded sheep. It's because it's such a taboo in Japanese space to go against the wave, to criticize something when you see others praise it, it's impossible to voice your opinion in that environment.
>>564824850It’s so good that the Korean prime minister copied it.
>>564824581>of course it's not going to be matched againYeah? They were advertising Ex as "volume F" tier, and made several obvious calls to it while also trying to up the ante.My feed on twitter is pretty much entirely Japanese. I did see people talking, but it was mainly about how sad they were, and autistic train otaku talking about the final cutscene. There was definitely a lot of jerking the story off, and a fair amount of fanart, but like, basicallyThere's no "sick, fucking sick" moment that obviously got people/ There are many attempts, but almost everyone only talked about the death and the ending.Saying volume F was "just an exception" is dumb, man. It was a LOT of thingsA reprisal of the first song heard in the storyTragedies flashing in front of our eyesHaving the power to save a student and specifically choosing to take itPlana coming inBasically, it did a bunch of "new and powerful stuff". If anything, that's probably why they killed the kids: in the chase of something "new, again"But although people are genuinely still talking about many aspects of volume F today, volume ex discussion (yes, in JP too afaik) centers around about 2 moments and how sad they were. It was not a stellar execution...fuck man, there literally isn't even any notable music in volume Ex. The best theme of it is the pv theme and it never plays in the story. They tried, but I'm not gonna lie there's a lot of "eh, w/e" music in exVolume F gave like 3>RE Aoharu>Welcome School>Kaiten / Perorodzilla fight theme>Memories of Kindness, with its power to make people cry immediatelyThe credit song was also only okay in ex, not "great" (my opinion, I guess)
>>564824986Okuva liked EX and I care more about his opinion than your streamer.
>>564824973elves did this somehow
>>564824938V3 was better when it was only about the retards taking exams. The high points of chapter 4 doesn't make up for the slow and downer parts of it.
Why is she such a slut?
Oh you can't have two versions of a student one in each cafe?Shit no wonder my Hasumi was leaving
>>564824938/bag/ doesn't like to admit stories like V3 were some of the best. Mostly because it's tacit admission that BA will never reach that level of story quality ever again due to its writer leaving the team.V3 hate exponentially increased after he left. It's a hatred of V3 purely for politically correct reasons.
>>564824986>No surprise this comes after he starts playing Stella SoraWhat, so he can't play something else on the side? His opinion is immediately invalid because it didn't fit your narrative or because he plays another game? Ridiculous

>>564824667It does seem that way, it's always hard to tell I guess. Productions always vary, with some PDs being very involved and others being, well, "very important project managers"
>>564824962saar please, you can admit that you made mistakes instead of digging your own hole.

>>564825280Not a flaw. She perfectly serves as a foil that makes Miyako look even more perfect. Miyako is the only one who matters.
>>564825374Can I give it to you gay?
>>564825131His opinion is: They are not coming backThat's fine the story was still goodYou should hate that opinion too if you think the story was good but you are hopeful that they are coming back. Because that's ultimate anti-BA opinion. Your hope copium at least tries to cling to previous hope that the story gave you.
>>564825124>Mostly because it's tacit admission that BA will never reach that level of story quality ever again due to its writer leaving the team.It couldn't hit that story quality again with Isakusan on the team judging by V1C3.V3 is my favorite volume but I'll take the consistent quality of the new volumes and the massive increase in the bread 'n butter events and momos over Isakusan stumbling upon lightning in a bottle every once in a blue moon.
>>564824938This has always been the case and it's the reason why Mika has the highest b100 stats. But you're on /bag/ where a lot of people prefer to read summaries or just being contrarian shitposter.

>>564825124If we'll never have anything like v3 again then that means blue archive will be more like what it should be. Isakusan did not get the point anymore.
>>564825425nta I just hope this opinion is not commonI see it, but I can't tell if the majority feel that way.It's hard to tell too due to algorithms. I engage with and like posts and videos and artworks speculating their return, and ignore stuff saying "so sad sad good bad if sad go away"So I can't tell if it's common or not.This video's top comment gives me some hope, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfQt9fRT56Y
>>564825237>Productions always vary, with some PDs being very involved and others being, well, "very important project managers"Kim is indeed very important since BA only exists because of him.But he wasn't the one who actually gave BA its recognizable identity (art style, bright tone, writing, characters, future bass soundtrack, etc.), that was all from the people he hired who had directorial responsibilities, and delegated accordingly.Too many people confuse Kim for being responsible for all of that.Kim doesn't know or discuss or come up with every single nitty gritty detail, maybe at first when BA was starting out, but definitely not now.

Boy you must really be bored if you're already arguing about which volume is better again.
Can we have a KayaThread?
>>564825758You don't have to take Anonymous' word for it, most of this stuff is derived from HWANSANG's interviews (the first and former art director for BA that nobody seems to remember anymore despite how fucking important he was to BA)
>>564825684What exactly did Sensei do in V5C2 again?He said he will not suspect AyameHe protected Shuro with his own bodyHe told ninjas to bodyguard Niya during their absenceHe witnessed the duelI think that's it?
>>564825913No.
>>564825056>almost everyone only talked about the death and the endingDamn it's almost as if that's the thing that left the biggest impact and what gives me most venues for discussion. Vol F also had waaaay more shit happening in it overall, it was a story that featured dozens of characters and every school, no shit it has more moments compared to a much more contained story like EX, even if it's grandiose in execution. That in itself doesn't demean it.>Saying volume F was "just an exception" is dumbMaybe outlier would've been a better word>But although people are genuinely still talking about many aspects of volume F todayVol F has the advantage of being a huge moment from 3 years ago with lots of meaningful tidbits. A lot of what happens in the story today gets analyzed under the lens of what happened in F, including some of the stuff Sensei did in EX. It's entirely possible and I'd even say likely EX will see a similar treatment, even if it's not to the same extent. >fuck man, there literally isn't even any notable music in volume ExPlease just stop talking. Steel Horizon and Brave Time are two of my new favorite. Theme 327 is also sick. There are some others but it's 2 AM and I'm tired of talking about this shit with you lot my brain is checking itself out
I remember when people said Kaya should just die because she's unforgivable...
>>564825926Exactly, protecting Shuro is what BA is about.
>>564825798nta, maybe he means how sensei acts to help students a lotbut likehe does that in 3, it's his whole thing in 3I could criticize (not really) one thing about 3 and it's that we do not see Sensei actually helping any kids learn any school subjects.Bur in reality, you just fill that in in your head while reading, it's not as bad as v2c1 where Sensei genuinely fucking vanishes after they pick up Aris and it isn't mentioned at all. Seriously, that chapter is so fucking weird and plot hole tier because Aris HUGELY cares about Sensei but her first days awake were completely outside of his presence
Can we have a BeatriceThread?
>>564825957I agree. Fully. But Sensei did the same in V3
>>564826045>>564826045>>564826045

There are some others but it's 2 AM and I'm tired of talking about this shit with you lot my brain is checking itself outA matter of taste if you will, but I really felt nothing for any of the music in ex and was deeply let down by it.
>>564826067>>564826067>>564826067
>>564825159>>564825684>>564824795yeah, this nigga is clearly shitposting. It's amusing how he doesn't know what sensei did in v3 and just threw around "sensei didn't do anything" while claiming v5 did better
>>564826014>>564826049Did you not read where sensei ignores the students hurt and seemingly killed by Saori only to go focus on Saori? It's like if Renge got hurt badly by Kokuriko and sensei's biggest concern was talking to Kokuriko and ignoring Renge.
>>564825596The vast majority liked the story and want the decas to come backEven the people who are okay with them staying dead would likely be fine with a revival as long as it's handled well (which desu is a requirement anyway even if it'd happened before EX ended)
>>564825946>Damn it's almost as if that's the thing that left the biggest impact and what gives me most venues for discussionAlmost as if that was targeted and they only did it to get that reaction out of people. Not because it was a good decision story-wise.
>>564826097You're saying a "real sensei" would turn away from a child in need based on her past actions?
>>564826130>which desu is a requirement anyway even if it'd happened before EX endedBut why? Why would that be a requirement in a story that calls itself out on the cliched happy ending?
>>564825852very dadaist
>>564826223No, but sensei shouldn't ignore the students who were badly hurt and possibly killed just to focus on the one who hurt them.
Now I am not >>564826143 I am >>564825056 / >>564826063but I will sayYeah that's a big reason it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
>>564826232You still have to earn your asspull miracle. Even in Vol F this was the case.
Actually it's a beautiful meta commentaryDo you maintain hope in the face of bleakness or give in and accept that's just how it is?I am shitposting.
>>564826097Here's a fun fact for you, the only time Sensei focuses on Saori is when she's trapped with Mika. Every other time he was focused on saving Atsuko. That's the number one priority. Students not dying.
>>564826357>ignoring sensei never even checking on the students who got seriously hurt by SaoriDid you actually read the whole story?
>>564826280But he...didn't? I mean, idk what you want...?Sensei isn't a superhero or something, he's a singular human with a magic tablet and credit card. What was he going to do during the disaster? What was he going to, tend to their wounds? Why? There are facilities that do that, what do you mean??And as for, "why didn't he help them with their psychological trauma"? Well evidently, he did. Only Hina was deeply effected. Like with every explosive event in Kivotos, most students just moved along once the debris was cleared up.also>possibly killedRetard.
>>564826427When and who got seriously hurt? There is no such depiction or description anywhere in V3C4. Making baddies in the way pass out is the standard every time.
>>564826431Check on them at least? Because it's far from the point of BA to have sensei completely ignoring students getting hurt badly and not even caring.
>>564826509The students in the blimp and in the cathedral
>>564826621He was pretty shot at that moment if you don't remember. And when he woke up he got briefed by Hanako.
>>564826673Never went to check on the students that got hospitalized from it if you don't remember. The opposite of sensei protecting Shuro.
>>564825616>writingnta but iirc Kim wanted a more lighthearted and easier to read version of a game he previously worked on, while drawing some inspiration from FGO and Priconne.>future bass soundtrackKim also decided on that.
>>564826534Sensei is pretty much always portrayed as "a job" person, though. With very few exceptions (Shuro, Decacunnies) he will "stick with" one group of students until a job is done, NOT help any student possibly in his path. And he REALLY sticks to that, since like, for example>volume 1He attacks Gehenna here>volume 2He fights against Yuuka's C&C and other stuff>volume 3Fights Arius, fights Mika, fights Mika again when Mika is having a mental breakdown because the job is still "save Atsuko" not "help Mika">volume 4Fights Valkyrie>volume 5"Tsubaki: shoot Shuro.">volume 6Fights Arius students again (admittedly, he did not want to here)
>>564826741That's not the opposite. Protecting = active help and prevention of injury. Checking up on someone when you don't have any way of helping them = passiveIt's a priority list, prevent more injuries, let doctors handle the current ones.
>>564826809>volume 4Actually, shit, it's even more to the point I'm making than I remembered>start the chapterYour job is to dubdue SRT, so he subdues SRT>late in the chapterYour job is to infiltrate Valkyrie, so he infiltrates Valkyrie
>>564826809>>564826843v3 is the only time it is written as badly that you would think sensei doesnt care about student. Sensei helping defend Abydos is nowhere near the failure of sensei not checking on Pandemonium, and sensei in v1 literally says he will gladly help Mutsuki and PS68 too.
>>564826769Both of those fall under "very high level" inputSomething lighthearted and easier to read could mean anything. It's setting guidelines, not the secret sauce that actually made BA distinct from all the others
>>564826921>not checking on PandemoniumHey Sensei, everything went to shit and you got collapsed under rubble. You need to leave.>NO HINA I WANT TO STAY AND HELP FIGHT THE GHOST NUNSThankfully he didn't say something so stupid.He got shot>wakes upHey Sensei, many students are in trouble, and Azusa is about to kill someone. Do you want to go check on Makoto???
>>564827031You don't get Blue Archive if you think sensei shouldn't care about Pandemonium getting seriously hurt
the fact you're even entertaining this retard is astonishing to me
>>564827076Irohafag, don't be retarded. You know what I mean, right? Or are you saying you don't know what I mean?Do you even think Sensei KNEW that Pandemonium had blown up? When he wakes up he checks on Tsurugi, Ako, Iori, and Hina (tries, she isn't there) before immediately checking on the idiot club
>>564827145You know well what I mean. Sensei doesn't check on Pandemonium at all even after and that goes against everything BA stands for. You should have read their momotalks including Iroha's last one if you want to bring her up, even they wrote sensei properly instead of like v3.
>>564827202If you're not going to answer my question, I'll presume it's because you know the answer is "no, he didn't know, he was collapsed under rubble and not informed about the explosion that took out some students he barely knows"
>>564827270>students he barely knowsTry reading the story. Even the old writers knew they fucked up on this in v3. Read unconcealed heart for example. And you say that like he didn't protect Shuro in v5c2.
>>564827024I mean, he explicitly used the bank robbery from v1 as an example. https://youtu.be/7oo_766en9w?si=Ax6vpNkkrLVis0sg&t=2725And I'm just saying that the decision to use future bass as part of the identity for the game isn't something that was decided by someone else he hired.
>>564827332>>students he barely knows>Try reading the story.Ah alright, I'll ignore you. In volume 3 he meets Makoto once, briefly, and then goes back to Trinity until the next time Makoto is seen (at the treaty)So, bye.
>>564827481Bye, keep trying to scream that sensei should be how you want and hate students you don't like. I'm sorry but I think the new writers aren't exactly planning on doing that.
>>564827576Your beliefs are your own and you are entitled to have them.
