Chink master talking in Japanese everything is moved to Nexon WTF
EOS?
>>585582591GUHHHHHHH
Wait what the fuck
coom in Nozoom.
>>585582591Actual leak
>>585582628You missed racists.*Licks tummy*
>>585582604It literally got the entire event right retard. You're coping
lmao they are actually doing it
Yostar corpo rep? I don't have a good feeling about this...
>>585582546>midori cute>momoi queen>ao child ass>saiba ako
This...actually could be the death of the game.Nexon completely owning Blue Archive, without Yostar's support?
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It's actually over
IT'S OVER, RIP YOSTAR
>Hecking leek reeeeeeeNigga you're a globalcuck, you're not in a position to bitching about the leaks when your upcoming contents is getting spoilered months ahead.
Actual fucking eos
what is bro waffling about?
I'm looking forward to zoosfag and foomfag reaction to their alts
weebs? translate onegai
>>585263940>>585263940>>585263940>>585263940BROS????
Is Nexon taking fully for BA?
Wait what's happening?
>>585582761Nexon taking over as the publisher
I have a bad feeling about his...
NOT EOSNOT EOSNOT EOS
the chat is moving faster now than during the entire stream lol
I'M FUCKING CONCERNED
EOS
YOSTAR LOST
The sad thing is people won't realize Yostar is what kept Nexon in check until it's already overThis is not a good change at all
>>585582546>hina lick guh>hifumi alt eos>cute iroha
I'll watch this guy who knows japanese and is summarizing
>>585582785genius
I am leaking
ok but how will this affect us globalchads?
YOSTAR IS KILL YOSTAR IS KILL YOSTAR IS KILL YOSTAR IS KILL
what is blud saying
LMAOOOOOOOOYOSTAR SHAT THE BED SO THEY GOT DROPPED
>>585582689>Where is she...?here bro >>585576287
Maybe Stella Sora really killed BA after all
>eos is realgod damn iut
>>585582802Fuck, that might actually kill the game for me. The monetization is already kinda pressuring.
>>585582848>Expecting anyone to believe this after we say Stella Soralol
>>585582886Yostar is no longer part of BA, it's going to be fully Nexon
BURU AKA IS CHANGING PUBLISHERS
>>585582876your version will EOS first before JP does.
It will literally kill the game
NOOOOO I DONT WANT MY OFFICEI DONT WANT NEXONS GAY POPUPSSTAY WITH ME YOSTARDON'T LEAVE MEEEEEDERR
Publisher change for JP is kinda scary to be honest.
CONCERNED
Sora is no longer our sister game
>>585582876We never had any relation to Yostar, so nothing
BA IS RECLINING
>anime so bad nexon cut ties with yostarkek
>Israel
>School event>No Gehenna student alt>No Millenium student altWhat a big fuck you.
DOES THAT MEAN ANIME WILL BE HANDLED BY SOMEONE WHO GIVES A SHIT
>>585582943Yostar fucked around too much. KWAB
who tf is doing all the merch and promotional materials then if yostar is kill
>>585582797>BA is handing jp publishing rights back to Nexon and Nexon only>the jap publishing deal with Yostar and Nexon has ended>so we have decided that we go forward with this>this is not EOS
>Nexon ends deal with Yostar>Entire release schedule leaksHmm...
This was leaked like a month ago by the koyuki hacker on the other tab btw
>>585582848yeah this is really them going all out on monetization chasing
>>585582802Does that mean that in the into of JP trailers the characters will not be saying "Yostar" anymore, and will start saying "Nekuson"?
>>585582802
>VR mentionedwhat
>>585582859forgot to link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XVaPGyVLWyY
I genuinely concerned.
>>585582932sounds like good news desu
>>585582928You could be F2P and easily have every character in Stella Sora by just being a daily player. What are you even talking about? Have you seen Nexon's other games?
But what the 3d shorts and models? Those are by Yostar and they're amazing compared to global...
>>585582848KYS STELLA SORA STILL SUCKS AFTER A FUCKING YEAR OF NOTHING
Hey
I don't feel so hot...
Nothing ever happens as long as the shorts and other stuff keep coming
Yostar did nothing but leeching the revenue anyway
>>585582992maybe the leaks will finally fucking end
Of course they had to fuck up a good stream again. Never change Nexon.
>>585582473Hey /bag/, I made a rentry with a summary of the stream, add it to the OP pleaseLet me know if I missed something, or if I got something wrong... there was a power outage midway through and I had to start overhttps://rentry.org/4chanBagStreamOctober2026
>>585582987Nexon themselvesWe don't know if this is good or bad, plain and simple.
HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT BA VR
Bro I just thought he would apologize for gacha announcement and it's actually the worst thing imaginable
>>585583031Stella Sora sucks because of bad game design decisions, not monetization. It's the latter that Nexon is notorious for being horrible with managing.
>Yostar eosLmaohahahaha
I am concerned, because even though yostar anime isn't great, they still handle publishing quite well. Does Nexon actually expect themselves to pump out merchandises and collaborations like Yostar?
I've been enjoying Stella Sora way more, Yostar did it better no doubt
Did they announce purple Set?Is it time to dust off maid Momoi?
No more animationNo more 3d modelsNo more shortsBros, I'm getting concerned
>self own by NexonDoes that mean JP will get the Nexon shitty anti cheat blockade as well?
>another gehenna event>another big fuck upKEEEEEEEEEK
it's over
>>585583071I AIN'T OPENING ANY GODDAMN LINKS FUCK YOU HACKER NIGGA
>>585583041and ASMRs and drama CDs and manga and everything else
>>585583075>we spent a lot of effort on it and it will go forward normallythat's the gist of it
Wait, importantly, does that mean this coming 6th Fes is being entirely hosted by Nexon, or is it still Yostar?
>>585583019If you played JP you'd know it's terrible news.
WELL WELL WELLHOW'S TURNTABLES
>>585583025Yostar commissions the models, retardbro
>>585582943So no more videos where students say YOSTAR?
>>585582942
What kind of Hina is this?
>>585583019it's not
give nexon all youre money
>no more shortsCurrently eying the rope. No...not yet. Not until BA dies. I have to keep going.
for the record, here's everything yostar did for nexon for blue archive>put them in contact with VAs>organized every single IRL Japan event and stream>organized all extra materials (manga etc)>translated the game into japanese (mixed results, admittedly)>all character CDs, songs, and ASMR>all Japanese origin merchandiseNexon said that they connected with Yostar years ago because they could not actually do any of that shit on their own in Japansouhhh
>>585582928maybe if youre a retard who spouts their opinion from other people instead of actually playing the game **its actually more generous than BA**
Yostar also didn't allow 3D shit to EN lmao what a jew
>>585583124too pussy to post the account?
>/bag/ doesn't want anime season 2*monkey paw curls*
>>585583158What kind of Chise is this?
>>585583161Hina racina
The japanese are taking this change much worse than I figured.
>>585583124Do they retards think yostar make the game???
Kinda funny that they have a giga serious presentation for big changes nowThe feedback from the gacha change is showing
>>585582928retard
rev up those seias. we're in prime seia season
>>585583071Guess you'll have to add another update with the nexon stuff
>>585583185LMAO I can't believe people are actually serious about switching to Stella
Hm, so what kind of influence did Yostar have on Nexon anyway, if any? What kind of changes might occur from this?
>>585583074It's bad going by nexon's track record, they simply don't know how to market or do promotional merch that people actually want compared to yostar. Every single piece of promotional work that people actually like about BA came from Yostar.
>>585583186>nexon didn't want to pay a cent for the models*
>>585582802skins would be the biggest bullshit, because even though you're not forced to buy them (hopefully), they still eat up possible outfits that could be used for alts
Yostar diedEOS confirmed
>Pandemonium gets a fes>it cost us our shortsI FUCKING HATE PANDEMONIUM NOW FUCK YOU
>>585583172It's either they found a mean to do that or they will open a branch in JP.
>>584428821>all those alts of students i likeFuuuck Arona is gonna be eating good.>still no YukinoWhy are they bullying her so much?
Does this mean no more Kim? Who do we blame as the face of BA if so?
>>585583216YesYostar literally plasters their name over literally everything despite being a fucking publisher
>>585582876Literally not at all
BA is so fucking cursed. Jesus christ we have just recovered from the previous and here comes another.
>>585582546>highlander ejaculation announcement>cherino suddenly>wife kei>blue zoos>leaks real>midori cute>momoi better>anime gogurt>sexo twins>ao ass>ako saiba>arisu dress>millennium nigga pregnant>azusa event>hina lick hifumi>eos archive
>>585583124that's retarded, nexon still makes the game itselfthe hurt is extra stuff, but that's also not the end of the world to lose. Nexon has like no experience dealing with merch and stuff in Japan tho
They won.
>>585583304your mom
This is fucking terrible. Without Yostar wrangling Nexon, Nexon will have full reign to further their monitisation. They're just gonna increasingly milk the playerbase until BA dies a slow, painful death like all their other IPs.
>publishing rights go back to the game's dev>instead of being held by a CHYNESE company>this is bad somehow and people are having a melty
Blue Archive is no longer a partly Japanese game. It's just Korean now.
>>585583172>>translated the game into japanese (mixed results, admittedly)Are you retarded? 99% of players have high praise for the translation. Just earlier I was watching a stream where everyone was saying that no matter what the quality of the original is if the translation sucks, and BA's translation elevates it to kamige status.
>>585583335>NCSlopyikes
>>585583304nigga Kim is literally john nexon wtf are you talking about
>>585583304are you retarded?
Does Nexon understand what they are doing???Do they fucking understand what they are doing????
>Yostar has rights for BA no longer.good fucking riddance.
>>585583164No
coom in doomrope in hope
>>585583186They handled all the 3D shorts themselves and it is so much better than the shit Nexon does desu.
>Raiders didn't have anything to latch onto until post stream announcement/bag/ has been saying for years that Yostar is shit and the only reason for them was to help easy BA into Japan. Now that it's popular there, what's the point in keeping them?
>>585583124Account based in India
>>585582876Nothing. Global is by Nexon since the start.
>>585583354
>>585583351>Yostar>japanese
I don't get it
>>585583350No, you see, we'll never get a short or have a VA again because uhhhh
>another month of constant shitposting in the general
DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I SACRIFICED
Do Nexon own the 3d models ?
>It mean i have to participate their shity web events tooNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>Nexon can now go all out with p2w moveswhat are we expecting next?
>>585583350You're aware NEXON decided to change the gacha right
>no more shortsAt least we got Neru before it all went downhill
>>585583428Retard. Yostar has actual offices in Japan. Nexon does not.
Yostar is publisher well known for butchering the translations. Nexon is the publisher well known for over milking their paypigs and killing their games. Could go both ways desu.
Does this mean we're getting slideshow PVs back?
NIGGAS REALLY THINK YOSTAR IS JAPANESE LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>585583350Yostar jp is not chinese owned
I'll see you guys later when the shitposting dies down.
>eh it was a 7/10 stream but it can't get worse>it does get worseONE NOTHING WRONG WITH METWO NOTHING WRONG WITH METHREE NOTHING WRONG WITH MEFOUR NOTHING WRONG WITH ME
>>585583351Yostar is chinese, retard
Goodbye Blue Archive
>>585583425I am talking about Japanese players, the target audience, not your retarded globalcuck ass.
>>585583350Consider this, it's Nexon. Do you genuinely think there will be figures of characters being pumped out as frequently as now?
>>585583412Because BA's continuing popularity in Japan hinges upon Yostar being the publisher. The fuck is Nexon gonna do to promote BA in Japan? Their name is worth dirt compared to Yostar.
>>585583342How does a publisher tardwrangle a development team? Not baiting btw genuinely don't know what the relationship is like
>>585583354Are YOU retarded?I'm not the person who decides if results are mixed. There have been kerfluffles recently about the differences between the source material and the TL
>>585583458yeah and it was good
>>585583350Time to check every twitter post for country origin again...
>Yostar fucks over anni so fucking bad that they lose BA contract>niggers here talk about them somehow keeping Nexon in check
>>585583172So that means they can now do all of that, is that shrimple. Proof? See the Global Kisaki shorts and videos with JP voices, and also the improved 3D models of the latest shorts
>>585583396Kisaki swimsuit is not bad, just need some polishing
>>585583486They have a Japanese branch retardbro
>>585583474Don't google it, thanks
>the reddit post predicting that nexon will self publish in jp was correct
Yostar ends publishing contract with Japanese Blue Archive, Globalfags most affected
>>585583479I liked those a lot more anyway.
>>585583482>he actually believes thatlol
Amazing how much one little thing ruins the whole stream lately.
>>585583468Yostar was the one that made them? Huh.
So do we actually love Yostar or nah?It seems the opinions are mixed here
>>585583172So clearly they think that they can do it now.
>>585583368If they signed another contract it's probably gonna be another 5 years with Yostar. And Nexon wants the JP publishing rights back soon probably also related to Farei Dolia (RX) 's launch.I just hope they are actually ready and the non-game content on the JP side stays the same
maybe Nexon won't be doing all that shit themselves now but will get another jap studio to do it for them
>2 days until I can roll for AzoosI'm excited.
what does this mean for the anime? i thought s2 will be made inhouse by yostar
it's unironically over, I doubt whoever Nexon gets for the KR->JP translation will be shit since they will hire whoever is cheapestwriting quality takes a dip -> players stop caring -> EOSwe've been over this with Umika event and these retards still didn't learn
What are the advantages of Nexon taking over as the publisher for the JP server?
Yostar wanted to get rid of BA billboards to shill stella sora, Nexon got upset
>>585583504>I'm not the person who decides if results are mixedYou're the one who decides to post that shit when it's just your opinion and the opinion of 1% of the overall JP players. It's like saying the opinions on VolF are mixed.
>>585583529I just personally really doubt it. Nexon has a bad track record, self-admitted to lack of experience years ago, their 3D has had mixed results, and always, always, always we cannot forget: is Nexona bad company, historically
>>585583592WE hate Yostar here.
>>585583609fuck the anime
>>585583592/vmg/niggers that yostar and regularly shitpost here
>>585583474>chinks have offices in jp still chinks they even leaked everything they had
>>585583528Talks like these are initiated and finalized long before the half anni changes.
/bag/...why aren't you telling me there's nothing to be worried about? That we'll be okay? C'mon...tell me its gonna be alright. I'm scared.
>Nexon being in full control of BA's monetization is a good thing actually!How cucked do you have to be to believe this?
They really are incapable of ending a stream on a high note.
THINK ANON THINK! You won't get fun shit like this anymore! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nWjFJyGau9Y
>>585583528Have you NEVER played a Nexon game?They were caught rigging drop rates SEVERAL TIMESTHIS IS TERRIBLE NEWS
>>585583496Yeah? do you think Yostar fabricates these plushies?
>>585582975so they're sabotaging BA by giving shitty explanation on the new gacha system
good riddance lmao
>>585583620Would you have preferred I lied and said "there's absolutely never been any concern about the localization from yostar at all"?
>>585583489
Let's wait for a few months before overreacting, eh?
Fucks sake man. The previous drama has ended already and here comes another. Non stop shitposting again. It doesn't fucking end AHHHHH
>>585583152ONE MILLION LIVES, THREE STRIKESSALVATIONSALVATIONMWAHAHAHASALVATION!
It's time to quit
i just woke up what did i miss
>yostar is gone>nexon will replace 3d short with vtuber shit>no more good merchit's fucking over...
>>585583646>still chinksThe people who were working on Blue Archive were obviously not chinks, retard. They had a chink boss. If you live in USA and work in Samsung, you don't magically become a gook.
>>585583656getting rid of yostar is unironically a good thing tho
the real issue for the GAME is that Nexon is aiming to take the monetization to new (Golan) heightseverything outside the game might be in trouble, it was Yostar that had all the connections
>>585583725Actual EoS
But mathgods told me the game got better...
>>585583609kill yourself animetard
>>585583528>>Yostar fucks over anni so fucking bad that they lose BA contractYou're dumb. It's the other way around, Nexon wanted to make the gacha more predatory like other gacha games and Yostar didn't like it. This was confirmed back when they first announced the changes.
>>585583474They do, but besides that, Mihoyo and Bytedance are headquartered in Singapore, doesn't make them any less CCP Chink.
>>585583441Japanese localization might change unless they can hire the same translator.3D shorts will also be different since Yostar owns the models used for the JP channel.Beyond that I don't think anything else will change.
>>585583501They have a say and can push back against the monetisation or other retarded changes. In the past year they increased the amount of stuff you can buy, like battle passes, a predatory gacha change, all to cumulatively cut ties (this decision takes times and you can see where NEXON is infringing).
>>585583706>>585583713Yup it's a crab, not a sun
>>585583609>i thought s2 will be made inhouse by yostarYeah, and that's terrifying.Who the fuck would want the 2nd season after the disaster of the 1st?
>>585583592Retards here pick whatever side is juiciest, so naturally I love Yostar now.
>>585583482Sure, and their president who was on stream minutes ago totally sounds like a native speaker
>>585582473Just saw thisHow the FUCK do they have the only non erotic girl in this game wear THIS
/vmg/jeet going insane LMAO
>>585583528retarded nigger has no idea how long these talks go on for
>>585583737tits too big
>>585583446>Another constant shitposting from both sides who don't even know what's actually happeningIt's tiring.
>>585583634And yet Nexon made Blue Archive. Not yostar
>>585583706Good riddance, fuck Yostar for cutting (heehee) this.
>>585583578Same, they had SOVL. I hated the animated PVs, partly because they reused the low quality shots in deca.
nexon 3d aint that bad plus they started using jp dub now
>>585583791These choices are stupid, there better be some fat titted sexy rerun bait in the event
>Patrick Sunderland can do whatever he wants with BA now...>Yostar won't intervene and try to mediate anymoreBROSSSSSSSSS NOOOOOOOOOO
None of you tourists even play the game fuck off.
OH SO NOW WERE DEFENDING THE 50/50 GACHA NOW?
>>585583706Literally not a japanese player but a zainichi.>>585583705There was concern one time. In niginigi to yukiyukite 3 years ago. Guess why? Because they were "more faithful" to the original script for once. So it got reversed within a week.
>>585583791Reisa?
>>585583592I've always hated Yostar, especially with their jp localization, so yes.
>>585583590Bird slut doesn't care who he sits on at all, as long as it's shaped like a child.
I wonder if the frequency of leaks this year were due to the publisher changes for JP server lmao.
Why should i care whether yostar or nexon has JP publishing?Both are gook kikes.
>Make fun of Stella Sora and and AO constantly >Your game gets shut down in one nightKarma is real /bag/Karma k
>>585583592Don't like them, but hate Nexon much more. Incredibly scummy company.
>>585583872probably the chinks in yostar pulling their usual shit99% of the anime/games leaks were done by chinks.
>>585583846But i do though?
Another month of constant brownoid chimpouts.
>>585583905karma this *unzips*
>>585583760Yeah, I agree there's a chance the models change because legal bullshit Nexon didn't prepare for. But only a retard thinks they will suddenly stop.
>>585583890Yostar was never caught swindling their players like Nexon or making hyper P2W shit
>>585583756>Yostar hates predatory monetizationAre you retarded or have you never played a Yostar, let alone any chink, game before?
When does the turnover officially happen?We'll see from that point onwards>nexon onlyOoooh boy
>>585583860If you know why I brought things up at all, you'd know I'm not talking about that event but stuff like Seia, Nagisa, etcand they preferred yostar's loc (MOSTLY, not 100%) but still, the point is it wasn't something that nobody talked about
>>585583860it used vocabulary most JP players wasn't familiar with, that's why it was changedits faithfulness have nothing to do with it
>reddit spacing
>>585583791>the only non erotic girl in this gamebut enough about reisa
This Seia is canon now btw
>>585583831It's still noticeably inferior. I don't really care about the Nexon taking over, these shorts are what I care about.
>>585583592I'm indifferent to them, I just found characters saying Yostar pleasant.
I have a feeling most of these people here doesn't know Nexon.
I'm off to bed. Good look handling all the doom posting for the foreseeable future.
>>585583938*sucks*
>>585583905SS is EOSing???
>>585583673If you are playing global you are already playing a game fully controlled by Nexon
>>585583791>Hifumi >not eroticI don't want to share this general with a faggot.
>>585583923Except that Nexon hired a ton of chinks recently.
>>585583807I actually don't care after the 50/50 fiasco. There's literally no way I can affect it so why would I be worried over this?
Yuuka the mother in lawKei the wife
>>585583818making a game is a very different wheelhouse from making extra materials and organizing eventsNexon has started tiptoeing into that, but for example their merch has all been weaker than yostar's and their live events less bombastic (understandably)
I'm mainly concerned with the merch situation to be honest. Will the merch "co-produced" by Yostar like chocopunis stop getting re-released?
Who won?Who lost?
Yostar lost right to BA? But what about the accounts linked to Yostar?Also how bad is Nexon compared to Yostar, really?
>>585583995It's baffling that anyone could seriously think Nexon fully controlling everything is a good thing. As if we don't have plenty of evidence from all the other horrible Nexon games.
>>585583963Probably after the fes
>>5855839632027
>Good morning, BA fans>I have a very exiciting announcement for you today>moving forward, Blue Archive will switch its Unity engine to Unreal 5 and will use AI-generated assets for gameplay purposes, we're also introducing new skin packs for 50$ per each which includes time limited gacha tickets which do not transfer with pity>I hope you will enjoy these new changes, our Nexon team have worked really hard on it because we take your feedback from Discord with great consideration>Thanks and have fun
>>585583890Yostar was in charge of promoting and marketing BA JP content. If you don't care of that stuff then it doesn't affect you. But if you liked the BA JP shorts, the JP streams, the JP anniversary venues, etc., those were all handled by Yostar and will now no longer be a thing.
Yostar lostSora lost
No more gorillion dollar merch sales narrative now that Yostar is gone.Game is doomed.
>>585583846yeah you're right, we're all secondaries itt
Wait you faggots actually like Yostar? What the fuck is wrong with you people.
>>585584109It's been SOARING actually
>>585584079This makes her tits look so fucking HUGE for some reason
>>585583609it means there is a chance we can get studio SHAFT
>another round of shitposting>right before gacha change on global which will have its own shitposting arcfucking hell brehs
>>585583960Aren't their self published games atrocious with currency and overall pull economy?Like Stella Sora.
Where's the Hanako (Racing) alt?
>skins and other p2w shit is coming how do we feel about skins here?
>>585584143They are just shitposting tourists.
>>585584145>It's been SOARING actually
>>585583860Are you going to say that this is good?https://x.com/i/status/2054861030933840084
What I am unironically, seriously worried about is VA quality/handlingThe one time Nexon translated an event on their own it was dogshit enough for the Japanese to actually express dissatisfaction.I hope to god they know to get someone else to do it
>>585584190>the japanese are shitposting touristsThat's epic.
>>585583846>no bond 100Nice twitter screenshot, chimp
>>585583172All the extra stuff gonna be spicy drama since there are alot of stuff to hand over hereEspecially considering CD Dramas in DLSite uses yostar nameThe next 6 months won't be an issue or atleast for the content and merch 1 month after 2027 fes.The real testament on how good or bad nexon management be would be in the spring stream and half anniversary stream
it's annoying how the past 2 stream (great streams otherwise) have been ruined by a bad announcement.
>>585584143No i just prefer the slightly lesser evil.
>>585584067The merch is popular because the game is popular. And who made the game? Nexon.
>>585584079hifumi gets to fuck THIS?????
>>585584176>we
>Y-yostar was protecting us from the evil gooks!The new gacha was implemented while they still were the publisher. So they were either on board with it or had no choice in the matter. Regardless of which one it was they aren't protecting anyone from anything. Honestly the only problem with this is once again instead of talking about new alts people are gonna be wasting time on this, except this time there's nothing even to discuss that'll affect you in-game.
>>585584107JP anniversary venues and VA stream can be arrange. But nexon will most likely replace JP shorts with their own models. Not as a good as Yostar's but it's something I guess.
>>585583782Wasnt the arknights anime also done by Yostar? I remember it having great quality (in animation at least)
On the bright side, we global chads won't have to migrate our accounts to Nexon.
Mika love
>>585584246she gets to lick my dripping semen after I'm finished
hopefully Nexon doesn't completely kill BA like they did Maplestory
>>585584175I have inappropriate thoughts regarding Sumire.
>>585584225And you're not going to elaborate on the bad announcement(s)?
>>585584279the quality wasn't the issue thoIIRC AKfags also pretends that their anime doesn't exist for reasons similar to our own.
>>585584201I'm saying it's not a controversy that you're trying to make it into. I can tell you right fucking now that Seia would be a lot less popular if she was talking like Nagisa which was the original.
I will never forgive John Nexon if it means I will never get the Nagisa ASMR
>>585583592As someone from Azur Lane, the employees of yostar do connect with the players directly. They are genuinely into anime stuff. Although they are not amazing, they pump out alot of merchandises and fun stuff to promote the game. Some of their translations can be bad though.
>>585584284Do they dare to cut off Steam ?
>>585583609>i thought s2 will be made inhouse by yostarKim has already said that they were going to contract a different studio>>585584164yes please
>>585584284It would be funny if yostar nuked all jp accounts as vengeance
>>585583961yostar only has like one game already, and development wise its better than this one in its current state for sure
>>585584239Nah, have you literally ever even wanted any of the global exclusive physical merch? Korea has always self admitted to not having a lot of knowledge about the stuff. All the really impressive stuff has come out of Japan. Now, it's all commissions and stuff so Nexon still can do that post Yostar, my concern (actual) is that they admitted themselves to not really knowing anything about any of that.
>>585584327>trannylation>trannylation, Japan
>>585583609Reminder that Yostar's only good anime got away with being good by abandoning all pretense of good animation and instead going full arthouse.
>retarded faggots actually want BA season 2kill yourselves
concerned status?
>>585584196Yes (sandvich in russian)>team_fabulous_2_heavy.jpeg
>>585582978If we get Iroha on the rerun it should be fine
>>585583592WE love Yostar just like Yostar loves us
>>585584271Nexon can just buy or license the models. It's not like they are going to be much use to Yostar going forward.
>>585584359G-cup............
what's the one KINO l2D only (you) seem to know or use
>Yostar will finally stop leeching from BA successThank god, now all the money from merch will go to the actual developers
>>585584107The shorts are just so much better than global's shit...
>>585584271I have strong doubts that Nexon can do them as well as Yostar have done for JP. Nexon as a company simply has very little experience in this respect compared to Yostar, which is why they approached yostar in the first place to be the JP publisher years ago.
Contributing to what will be a suspiciously low imeji/post ratio thread.
>>585584396eos, Seia wins
>>585584412they could've bought them before too but never bothered
Do you retards actually think Yostar makes the game or are you just pretending?
You know shit is bad when not even seiaposters try to cheer you everyone with their silly SEIA pics
stream stuff aside, how useful is the upcoming sMakoto? her EX seems literally built to be used only in Peroro and nowhere else, but I already have aHosh like everyone else so at best she'd see use in LUN, but how many teams does one need for that? debating whether or not I buy her eleph pakeji, since sSatsuki seems like she'll work fine at UE30 forever like Kokona
>>585584380>development wise its better than this one in its current state for surelol lmao even
>>585584393That's not trannylation, that's simple editing. Like manga editor, novel editor, screenplay editor, TV show editor, movie editor, every fucking thing has a filter between the writer and the audience.
>>585584396Anyone not concerned is retarded. Nexon is an atrocious company - and yes, much worse than Yostar.
>>585584339>From Azur Lanethe game whose art direction changed completely and releases nothing but slop? Come on now
At the same. Arknights Endfield and to some extent Azur Promilia decided to move out from the Yostar umbrella. Not saying Nexon is great, but Yostar has been slowly bleeding out on multiple fronts beyond just BA. Question is why?
So my hopes of Blue Archive x Sony is not happening?
Can't believe I'm drinking on a Sunday. Where did it all go wrong Kim
>>585584380Yostar already EOS'd their first game years ago.
>>585584415DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS
>>585584414Minori's is mad comfy
>>585583609Vol2 will be animated by Studio Yaoyorozu
>>585584457Like 70% of lunatic Peroro clears didn't have their own SMakoto
Why does every Blue Archive stream scare me away from buying monthly packages for the next few months?The rewards for the monthly packages are like 10 times better now, but it's not gonna matter if the game's gonna fucking implode next year.
It all ended when they stopped making those slideshow PVs
We dont use the c-word here
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA even seiafags stopped trying to damage control HAHAHAHAHA
>>585584457not much, SIbuki and SIroha are much better
How can we detect if Nexon is messing with the gacha rates? Does the JP law apply to them since they're operating in Japan too?
>>585584415>now all the money from merch will go to the actual developerssurely
AO will save /bag/
>>585584457I only really remember sMakoto being used for Perorozilla and most people simply borrowed her from someone else.
>>585584512I just renewed 2 days ago, fuck me
>>585584446>cheer you everyone
>>585584143>arknotYou should know Yostar treats JP well, they only treat you bad if you're a globcuck.
Yostar JP was pretty fucking good at advertising, PR and merch but I don't really give a shit about any of thisAs long as the game remains the same and I can still roll everyone I like just like I've been doing these last 5 years I'm happy
>>585584443Do you retard actually think We think Yostar makes the game or are you just not reading?
>>585584396sexo
Super duper ultra concerning desu. BA is popular in Japan because of Yostar excellent localization.
>>585584171Why does every student have art with the GTR?
>>585584415>Thank god, now all the money from merch will go to the actual developerslollmao even
guys pikamans new game is looking more and more appealing...
>>585584493artist?
>Azurlanefags despise Yostar>Arknightfags despise YostarThey probably have reasons to do so
>>585584417NTA I will say this, basically, "can't be experienced without gaining experience" but I am somewhat expecting a rough transition.The good thing is, the game will keep being the game. It's always been the game. There IS a potential bright future ahead, but I have to keep being realistic--there are reasons they partnered with Yostar in the first place.BA is popular enough and strong enough as source material to proooobably weather a rough transition though, honestly.Ugh...Are they even going to continue doing comics? Well, probably, they're surely all comissioned...
>>585584524Why is Azoos wearing 168 outfit?
>>585581290I was right lol.
>>585584561>>585584565>Yostar JP was pretty fucking good at advertising, PR and merch but I don't really give a shit about any of thisDo you know that they've picked almost all the VAs? Do you think voice is not part of the game?
OF COURSE NEXON IS MAD AT YOSTAR WHEN THEY FUCKING COPIED THE GAME THEY WERE PUBLISHING FOR
Perhaps Seia was right all along
>>585584440Because they didn't need to and Yostar had a reason not to sell them. Now they're useless to Yostar and there's a reason for Nexon to own them directly.
>>585584384It doesn't matter what knowledge they had 5 years ago when BA was new. Do you really think the companies manufacturing the merch will stop working with BA now that yostar is not involved?
I was busy fapping to Hifumi. What happened?
>>585584395If it isn't sabotaged by another yurifag director, it has the potential to be good, you joyless nigger.
>>585584475tell me one (1) thing I can do to change it
So, considering gacha changes and this stream bullshit.What do i wait for now?Astrae Oratio?Miresi?Kaleidorider?They all seem soulless, nothing is fun anymore.
S-surely there has to be another JP company willing to take Yostar's spot, r-right?
>>585584561>Yostar JP was pretty fucking good at advertisingnot recently
The past year has done a lot to remove the magic from this game.
>>585584561They started to priorities stella sora over BA recently I can see why they got dropped
>>585584585…doesn’t that game literally have ntr
>Jewstar is killgood, they were leeching off BA like the rats that they are. Never trust a chink company with the decisions of a game
>>585584467>simple editingMore like being failed writers.
>>585584624Damn... We will never get any VAs ever again... I'm getting pretty concerned now, my fellow BA players...
>>585584198LMAO
>>585583609surely we will get a good studio like White Fox or JC Staff or even feel
>>585584676yeah, nintendoexpect bing bing wahoo collab soon
>>585584679now you know why
>Yostar is the reason there’s so many doujins>Stella Sora flopped so badly it’s likely gonna kill Yostar>Azur Promilia is also skipping Yostar
OK, so where's the news that Yostar is losing rights to Blue Archive?
>>585584692The writers themselves agreed to this localization. They had actual meetings between the writers and the localizers. This is not like global.
are (you) ready to hear "nekuson!!" in every new CM?
Pikaman won
>>585584537Lmao it was the Korean government who caught them red-handed. And they got away with a slap on the wrist for years of swindling.We're A-fucked
>>585584561desu their *advertising* hasn't been that interesting apart from the PVs--which are really damn good admittedlyBut like, BA absolutely has succeeded based off the strength of the source material
>>585584592https://x.com/Mikin_0810/status/2114305597688697043
>Tomorrow the news breaks>Astrae Oratio will be published by Yostar in Japanese regionsHow would you react?
>>585584596Really it depends how much Nexon themselves care to invest in all this stuff, also money-wise.A lot of this stuff costs money. And it's almost certain both severing ties with each other is related to money.
>>585584396Total nothingburger and tourist bait. People were making a fuss over the gacha changes and in the end the new system ended up being arguably better than the old system.I'll call it now and you may screenshot, nothing bad will happen and there will be in fact minor improvements.
>>585584624Are you fucking retardeddo you think Nexon had 0 say in those types of decisions ??
>>585584687So we should trust Nexon instead?>Nexon actively tried to hide and cover up the manipulation of item probabilities in MapleStory.>South Korea's Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) officially penalized Nexon with a record ₩11.6 billion ($8.85 million USD) fine for fraudulent business practices. Government investigations and legal rulings exposed a clear pattern of Nexon under-the-table changes, outright denial, and a failure to disclose truth to players.This is who handles all monetization now.
I don't care about neither Nexon nor Yostar. Someone tell me how I should feel about the news.
>>585584509huh? I may not be using POOzutrends correctly but it says she was mobilized almost twice as much as Hosh
>>585584613>Are they even going to continue doing comics?They will, it's help that the artist is a gook.
>Free lanaoh thats cool>FaustSEXSEXSEXSEXSEXHOLY SHIT
>>585584561Laughing at this retard. Dude they didn't advertise pandemonium summer except Chiaki
>>585584790I wouldn't. Because I don't care.
>>585584652no, I think Nexon is a notoriously bad company with an awful track record that I really struggle to trust, even now
>>585584758>didn't watch the stream
>>585584537You are already playing a version owned by Nexon globab
>>585584795>do you think Nexon had 0 say in those types of decisions ??They left it to Yostar. Read the fucking interviews. The only one they picked was Hina.
Cute
>another drama as big as the gacha changeAIIEEE we can't have peace can we?
>>585584676Nexon headquarter is literally in JP
>>585584750>Azur Promilia is also skipping Yostarimpressed how retarded you are
>>585584673I'm still waiting for Mushoku Tensei season 3 part 2.
>>585584624>Do you know that they've picked almost all the VAs? Do you think voice is not part of the game?Sorry I wasn't aware that Yostar had a monopoly on good Japanese VA and that Nexon wasn't involved on VA casting in any way, shape or form
>>585584764Source? First time I play a Nexon game actually.
>>585584853Too big
>>585584758retardcome back in a month or something if you want something concrete
>>585584676the point is they don't want a partner
>>585584662>NEXT SEASON WILL BE GOOD THIS TIME FOR SURE
Fun fact, Nexon will have to set a team aside to help with Blue Archive's publicity and market sales now. Unless the Blue Archive team is big enough, the game will be having slower development time now.
>>585584809>This is who handles all monetization now.THEY ALREADY DO THAT YOU NIGGER
>>585584817It's called borrowing
>>585584760Are you implying that Yostar didn't object to the "horse line" in the rowdy and cheery event despite supposedly having those meetings?
EoS ETA?
>>585584830So why are you playing a game made by Nexon? you do play the game right?
It's up!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxNB7D64Er4
before starting BA only thing I knew Nexon for was publishing Dota 2 in Korea in like 2014
>N-Nexon is evil!You'll never guess who the lead developers, the people who actually handle the core game mechanics like gacha rates, have been this entire time...
>>585584809If you are a globalfag nothing will change.
>>585584417The way I see it, either they learned something after years of collaboration with Yostar and figure they can do it on their own now or they will have to do it all over again.
>>585584396I’ll withhold my opinion until we see if Iroha and Ibuki got new sprites that can be on the rerun
>>585584907Retard
>>585584790AO's publisher is already revealed and oh boy if you thought Nexon was bad wait until you learn about NC
>>585584873nta but VA management is a whole thing, we can only hope that their experience voicing the game in korean will make them capable of managing stuff in Japan (where, reminder, they don't actually live)
https://x.com/kudaizuna/status/2114341431691362446Guys look at the last line
>>585584815>Someone tell me how I should feel about the news.you shouldn't care because nothing will change since you're a globalchad
>>585584879https://www.koreajoongangdaily.com/business/nexon-to-pay-16m-to-compensate-maplestory-players-for-rigging-loot-boxes/12373947They got a fucking slap on the wrist.
>>585584910but if the bar number goes over 1 that means people were using their own AND borrowing, right?
Will this affect Arcie streams?
>>585584873>had a monopoly on good Japanese VAThere are so many literally who newbies who got the BA role and did an amazing job. They found them.
>>585584484Because they are offloading all expenses to the original company and taking all income. Money are always the first reason companies start changing something.
>>585584795>do you think Nexon had 0 say in those types of decisions ??Not 0 since Nexon has been known to send their notes to Yostar (per 2024 dev stream), but all of the VA selection, scouting, and directing was done by Yostar. The only exception that we 100% know of was Hina, where a nexon employee specifically requested her VA be Hirohashi Ryo.
It's over. It's actually over.
>>585584750Isn't Promilia in JP published by Yostar. Nexon is handling a lot of other regions, though. But yeah, gone are the days of Yostar exclusivity/dominance in this publishing scene globally at least.Really it sounds like Japan has just made it more accessible over the years for everyone to access the same resources like VAs. If random small Chinese company can do it these days, why can't Nexon?
>>585584830So why are you playing global?
kind of explains the growing of monetization now that I think about it. yostar had no reason to argue when they knew they were leaving
So I heard you guys are going full nexon?
>>585584916You know full well that event is special. It's still not clear what exactly happened, but there was likely a different localization team.
>>585584963>(where, reminder, they don't actually live)You keep repeating this but the fucking Yostar 代表取締役社長 is not even a jp native
>>585584942wait, there's a game?
>>585584868I hate Eris, so my feelings are mixed.
>>585584394it's still burning to this day
>>585585021yostar is known to literally erase the original developers from promo material
>>585585038Retard, do you think the two versions had completely separate monetization? No, one was made to be in line with the other.
>>585584942Don't be fucking retarded, you 100% fucking know what I mean, don't be fucking stupid. They are a bad company and Blue Archive is a bizarre freak miracle that, without yostar, it would've been weaker (because VA management wasn't handled by yostar, nor was culture forming stuff like Arona Channel)As a company, are you going to pretend they haven't been godawful historically?I want to think "everything will be fine because BA is a good game" but Nexon is also a company that flaunts AI push and has made innumerable horrible choices
>>585584143Funny that AKfags hates yostar unilaterally even the japsEspecially after yostar decided that>Hey maybe after all these years doing live event for anniversary AK didn't actually need live event only online stream.Seems like AKfags have enough of yostar fuckups
Don't trust Nexon fellow /bag/bros please read my imageless CORNcern posts
>>585585048Yeah no more funding for your game
>>585585032>>585585045Now kiss.
>>585584998Only some of them and some of them just borrowed
>Nexon is an evil, greedy company>Yostar is a less evil but still evil, less greedy but still greedy company>As a result, Blue Archive was less greedy but still greedy>Now Blue Archive will be more evil and more greedySimple as
>Anime, game studios in japan can advertise their product and find VAs for it>Even indie devs on steam or dlsite can find VAs for their gameIt's like Yostar is just a third party
>>585584965>United States>she/her
How high was Nexon to make that decision?
>>585585048Bro, you're losing the BA subsidy...
>>585585075living in the place where the talent is, uh, matters?yostar does have a location in the heart of tokyo
>>585585092No wonder Nexon dropped them.
>>585585075>the very head of the whole branch is someone from mainlandNo shit. That doesn't mean he's part of the BA team.
All this drama is fucking tiring man. BA is such a simple, full of slice of life, and hopeful game but why is this happening man. I just want to fuck lolis in peace. Is this what it feels to be oppressed?
>>585585143>Yostar is a less evilproofs?
>>585585115I mean there's a reason why EoSfield was published individually without yostar...

>>585585048How's the Steam launch?
>>585585143but ba is made by Nexon and less greedy than like any other gacha
>>585584561are you retarded? they leeched off their success with handling BA, somebody else's IP just so they could boost soulless garbage like Stella Sora and revive autistic crap like Mahjong. Meanwhile, Azur Lane is in the gutter. They owe BA's success to the team they managed to scramble off Japan but those guys will most likely move on to other projects and quit the company, there is no reason for them to stay in Yostar now that that their big phenomenon is gome
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pls6OyJpCWg
uh oh, JP is really mad
>>585585184>Is this what it feels to be oppressed?success breeds jealousy unfortunately
Someone show me the jp reactions as they are the only ones affected by this shit
>>585585096Yeah the developers of the game are the ones who decide the rates just like everything else within the game.
>>585585048weird looking Himari
>>585585148Yeah, if some Ruskies could hire Miyo VA for their, at the time, obscure horror game, what stops Nexon?
>>585585048meaning you're going to EOS in 2027 bozo
>>585585231Why should I care it's a phone gayme
>>585585143Instead of two evil and greedy companies splitting the pot there's only one now. How is that bad?
JP would be mad because they stupidly think Yostar makes Blue Archive.
>>585584950Funny thing is after fox squad double spark I stopped playing for 2 weeks, then I started playing again last week and got S.Kisaki and S.Shun under 100 rolls. Nexon rigged gacha rate is real
>>585584984That just means that if they caught again, even if I'm free-to-play...Nice!Everyone, just pretend we don't see shit, and report eberything to the JP and KR gov'ts so we can cash in on all the freebies.
Yes, the advertising and merch were great with Yostar but they obviously are focusing more on their own game now. Just look at the billboard advertising situation, Blue Archive has to alternate/share with Stella Sora instead of getting an actual dedicated spot. It's more preferable for a BAfan who only cares about the franchise itself for Nexon to cut ties with Yostar if it won't give "full" effort and attention anymore.
>>585585148the VAs will probably be fine, i'm just sad about the JP streams and anni events not being a thing anymore. also the JP 3d shorts were much better than nexon's in-house stuff
a very concerning state of affairs
You niggas would glaze the fuck out of Nexon the moment they announce JP voices in story mode.
>>585583496>Nexon now having all of the profits mean they'll wind down the fig production line that Kim was saying they were leaning into years ago???
>>585585184Genuinely, everyone wants to hate us for God knows what reason. I just want to look at little girls with guns killing giant robots, man
JP isn't taking it well at the very least, Nexon's reputation is well below that of Yostar and they're suspected to be responsible for the latest Half-anniv incident. On top of the usual "Nexon greed" a recurring point is them being worried about Nexon not having anywhere near the promotional and merchandising experience. Things like Yostar shop and the various channels and collabs. Also translation and accounts.
>>585585305Yes
>>585584809That was always on Nexon, anon. Nothing in-game changes.
Am I the only one not giving a fuck about this shit?
>>585584961NC? Those retards, they are in for a good surprise
>>585585327what incident?
>No more Mutsuki teasing you in 3DYou fags talk about the models but the director/fag in charge of the 3D shorts is also a yostar employee... I am sad.
>no yostar means no more streamsoh you mean like the one we just had?>no yostar means no live eventsoh you mean like the one we're gonna have in january?
>>585585220Yes, I should distrust Nexon the creators of Blue Archive™ am i right fellow bag bro?
>>585585151isn't that the troon who had a mental breakdown because dIzuna wasn't playable on the dress ninjers event?
>>585585305You know I will.
How long until ba gets the maple story experience
>>585585305>JP voices in story mode.I would honestly.
crazy compensation.free limited student100x gacha
So what's the chance they'll reuse same VAs for different students after Yostar gone?
>>585585374Yostar doing a terrible job of announcing the gacha changes is Nexons fault, apparently.
>>585585374double loli fes, trannies we’re NOT happy about that
>>585585417a few months at most
at least JP players won't confuse who made BA anymore
>>585585184#1 on the Comiket btwY'all aint Auschwitz victims
The multimedia and merchandising stuff that Yostar did was cool at least. So sad to see it probably gone soon
>>585585404I know you can't speak Japanese, but the rights will be transferred with that january fes.
>>5855852482nd cake has a bunch of them posted
>>585585404>oh you mean like the one we just had?Was done by Yostar, who will no longer be a thing by next year.>oh you mean like the one we're gonna have in january?see above
>>585585186Yostar, as far as we know, isn't known for manipulating gacha rates without telling anyone>>585585279>Hey I think we should buttfuck and castrate the players>Hmm, why don't we just settle for buttfucking them? They probably won't be too happy about losing their dicksSnip snip
>>585585298they actually still advertise BA you knowI live in Kawaguchi, work in Tokyo (right next to Akiba) and yeah they advertised Stella Sora but if there's a new BA thing they advertise BA.
>>585585248>Ignoring JPbrosFuck you concernfox
https://x.com/IO_DIVISION/status/2114344562760228901【お知らせ】 この度は、『ブルーアーカイブ』パブリッシャー変更のお知らせにより、お騒がせしてしまい申し訳ございません。本件について、統括プロデューサーであるキム・ヨンハよりご報告させていただきます。
https://cmn-jp.nexon.com/transfer/bluearchive/They're giving us an insane amount of free shit after the publisher change.>100 free rolls>Fes character select ticket>shitload of materialsIt's so over.
>>585585165>>585585178>jp branchNexon also has a jp branch you know, the nexon global hq are in tokyoWhether nexon will actually do a good job or not is a different story
>The fes in January is going to be the first fes under Nexon
>>585585305>JP voices in story mode.Unironically yesYostar? Never heard of them
>>585585220But the other option is to unironically trust a chink company?
>>585585305Correct, since that would be a godlike move from them.
wow japanese fans are vocal about yostar leaving and they are not happy
>they're love bombing usuh oh this is bad
>>585585270Steam whalebros... not like this...
>>585585447nta the gacha changes were still nexon's changes and the PD, Kim, ADDITIONALLY poorly communicated them (by retweeting an explanation)
the moment I saw that dude in suit I knew it was going to be bad news
>>585585327>and they're suspected to be responsible for the latest Half-anniv incidentnigga Yostar is responsible for it and that's ltierally the reason they're getting dropped
>>585585279>Little bro doesn't know what a monopoly isYou're an uninitiated pleb
>no yostar means no more 3d shortsThen why are they hiring 3D riggers/rigging artists?>i-i-it's for chibisLike the ones they already have?
>>585584484Enndfield isn't under yostar. OG Arknights are and yostar has been butchering their localisations since forever.
>>585585525>Furthermore, in order to ensure that the valuable records and time that teachers have accumulated with their students are carried on as they are, we are working closely with Yostar to prepare for the change of publisher.JP players are going to have to move.
>>585585408I wouldn't exactly say you should trust any company regardless of what they made. At most you should keep them at arms length.>>585585565There is no other option retard. You aren't supposed to trust these companys period.
>>585585096There are literally packs on global right now that never existed on JP
https://x.com/ReltiVulpes/status/2114344680553165202/photo/1
Nexon taking full control is actually a good thing.
>>585585560with Wakamo, she was the first limited student
>>585585184It’s what it feels like to be the victor. Degenerates will always live in hatred of humanity, but they will never win. They will never stop seething over Blue Archive being the one game to appeal to straight men, and that is proof of our victory.
>>585583172>for the record, here's everything yostar did for nexon for blue archiveYou forgot:Setting the event and main story schedule. Source: isksn interview right after volume F came out. He said that Yostar was the one to suggest and push for volume F to come out in such a short timeframe rather than throughout the whole year.
>>585585447NEXON both wanted to change the gacha to a 50/50 AND not have the current rebates. It's only the backlash that got them to add the rebates. It's still a predatory change by a greedy developer.
>>585585305>you niggas would praise a good decisionyeah? you some sort of retard son?
>>585585493>>Yostar, as far as we know, isn't known for manipulating gacha rates without telling anyoneYeah no shit, because it's not their game nigger. They are just the publisherThink that they get to decide probably merchs and events
Hifumi went SSJ3
>instead of skipping streams on nankingversary or the date of the Marco Polo bridge incident or whatever the fuck we'll be skipping streams on some gook dates instead nowThere, I summed up the substantial changes for you
>>585585660To compensate for acceleration. That's it.
>>585585525>>585585529can I get a qrd?
>>585585493No proofs then?
>>585585632People obviously mean they won't be as good as the current JP youtube shorts. We already know what Nexon's 3D modeling quality is like for BA and it's not as good.
>>585585560I bet both my nuts it will be terrible.
>>585585582Do they even play gachashit
So it looks like Nexon will handle things pretty much the same way Yostar did. My only concern is the localization, but at least it seems like offline events will continue as usual.https://cmn-jp.nexon.com/transfer/bluearchive/
Programmers? NexonArtists? NexonStory writers? NexonMusic producers? NexonPublishing? YostarSo, what is the big deal when Nexon can clearly take over such a simple task now?
>>585585630>They have a monopoly for... wanting to develop and publish their gameYou can't be this retarded
>>585585643Yostar also fucked up Azur Lane massively, they even had an actual troon in their localization team
>>585585305Yeah no shit? Why would we not want a good change
>>585585648So why are you in a gacha general if you think companies are all bad?
>>585585648I trust French Bread honestly, good head on their shoulders and quite close with the community.
Was Iroha flopping Nexon's fault or Yostar's?
I play global so I really don't care
>>585585529Fes ticket is kinda useless for most established players (they people they should be trying to appease)The free 100 rolls are nice.
>>585585529>Fes character select ticketWould be funny if global doesn't get it because it doesn't affect us, ha-ha...
>>585585529I just hope Gooks are gonna make a stink about it, and we globalbabs will get the same, despite no change of publisher happening whatsoever.
>>585585746You're supposed to bet something of worth. A zinger box would be a better offering than those.
>>585585305Looking at it its getting easier for Nexon to do JP Dub for the storiesThe biggest catch of JP dub is that JP client and global client is different and handled by different publisher. If it was handled by 1 head then its far easier to do this.Looking at it all the last few short might actually be for JP dub but since its handled by yostar it also quite unlikely
>>585583071
>>585585702>>585585680
>>585585782Is it this guy?
>>585585493Nexon isn't know for manipulating gacha rates either. They manipulate MMO rates. Anyone who plays Korean MMOs made an account on grindr and was suprised they got fucked in the ass.
>>585585613 you're replying to a reddit copy paster
>>585585793Oh I'm sorry, is this the Nexon general? No you dumb bitch its the Blue Archive general. Fuck off.
>>585585529>only FESCome on people already have all of them. At least make it all limited
>>585585832Usually they'll just give them out under the pretense of some other celebratory event
>>585585585>nta the gacha changes were still nexon's changesSure, but they aren't inherently dreadful even if I'd rather have maintained the status quo.The announcement being a bolted on 5 minute affair was dreadful.Not defending Kim's lazy reteweet either but not sure I'd call THAT the half-anni incident that the guy being asked about was mentioning.
>>585585774the next streams will be hosted by gooks instead of our usual beloved hosts
>>585585721It'll be actually funny if they skip May 23rd and August 22nd
>>585585529>fes ticketThat's worthless
>>585585824But i don't have Wakamo.
>>585585747They are low enough to spend thousands on CS2 and Dota2 skins, not to mention countless dlcs and mmo subscriptions, this should answer your question
>>585585774All of those means nothing if you can't promote your game correctly. Yostar is the backbone of BA.
Concern? RisingNexon? DesperatePlayers? QuittingEoS? Soon
>>585585953Wakamo is archived so it won't work on her
>>585585824>they people they
>>585585908If the global livestreams were any indication then I'm okay with that. They get to the point much sooner than JP
I am highly autistic and do not like change even if that change is better. I am also green.
I need gookakos takes on this issue
>>585585824>Fes ticket is kinda useless for most established playersYou get 100 character ligmas if you use the ticket on a character you already own.>既に受入済みの生徒を選択した場合、代わりに生徒の神名文字を100個獲得します。
If we don't get the Yostar 3D models for the next 3D live I will personally fuck Kim in the ass.
>>585585529EN will also get it
>>585585957If Yostar is so good at promoting games how come their game stella sora flopped?
>>585585326but that's a big girl
>>585585908You fucking retard the next fes which will be under NEXON is going to feature our regular castYes even Tsubaki's VA
>>585585432>FREE LIMITED>100 FREE ROLLSFUCK YOU YOSTARLONG LIVE NEXON I LOVE NEXON
>>585585824free fes eleph is great, are you kidding? thank God I had the good mind to stop raising them past UE50
>instead of posting Hifumi and Azusa fanart, /bag/ will spend a whole week straight concernposting about Yostar and Nexon
>>585585981Never fucking mind then.
>>585585529be nice if we also got those on global but that probably won't happen since we're already under Nexon
how is hifumi allowed to wear something this sexual
>>585585630Do you want to owe protection money to both Tony Soprano and Junior, or just to Tony Soprano? It was already a monopoly, you weren't choosing who to pay.
>>585586057Not limited, fes. So you can use it on the fes students you skipped. You skip fes students right?
>>585585908That's honestly my only concern.I'll be sad if ChinatsuGOD is perma gone.>>585586046Oh is that already under Nexon? I thought that was Yostar's last thing.
https://youtu.be/VyZh_xg22QkBA is the Venom of gachas... nobody can reach a consensus on who its real dad is."
I actually like the leeks from earlier, because it means i finally get another Iori alt after all those years.
>>585585875>companies BAD>but they make my gachasretarded commie
>>585585895I just have favoritism ptsd as arknigger
>>585585771>The current Blue Archive PC version is available until the start of maintenance of the publisher change.>As for the PC play environment after the publisher change, we are preparing an environment that can be used newly.>We will inform you of the start date and details as soon as they are decided.Non-steam pc client? Or will they allow JP to use the steam client now?
>>585586039Many are ignoring this question
>>585585771>So it looks like Nexon will handle things pretty much the same way Yostar didNot quite exactly, pic basically just says current marketing stuff done by Yostar SO FAR will still continue after the handover. But anything after that is up to how well Nexon handles things themselves. Which is still a big question mark.The Q&A is basically saying, yes, of course we (Nexon) will continue doing merch stuff after the handover. Don't think anyone is doubting that BA merch will still be a thing afterwards, it's just the quality control that's the big question. Yostar promotional stuff was very good for BA and had very good contacts in the JP industry. idk if Nexon can do the same quality with as much enthusiasm, organization, and investment.
>>585586074Their fault for dropping the bomb right after a good stream.
It sucks that this change basically means the chance of ever getting a Miku rerun is 0
>>585585908> Stream is just Kim playing with legoshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzqV3Tu0sl4Should I be concerned? I'm not old.
>>585586030Stop playing BA and buy Switch 2, jailbreak soon
>>585586080It's not her first time
>>585585871They fired that fag, right?
>>585586046NTA but I thought the 6th Fes will Yostar's last involvement with BA? The raffle is still being done on the Yostation app.
>>585586079They usually give it to us anyway, even if the reason is different. We got their livestream gifts and acceleration compensation through web event and such.
Does this also apply to the chink server too?
to try to be positive>Nexon has gained experience with VA work. In spite of everything, people actually generally like the Korean VA if they listen to it>Nexon has begun doing more lives>literally all of the major talent related to Blue Archive either is Nexon employed, or is a contractor or commissioned artist (for example: all the 3D models from Yostar shorts and series are from commissioned modelers, not yostar employees)>Nexon already has begun managing JP VAs (see: Kisaki videos recently). Can anyone who knows JP confirm whether the Japanese liked those global exclusive videos?>if Nexon has sole IP ownership, they make a LOT more money which could mean more stuff for the game>Nexon does have merchandising experience now. It's not a lot but it's there>Nexon does have decent video editors, similar to the PV editors from Yostar (see: the birthday videos, they seriously always look great)>almost all additional stuff like music videos are contracted out>PR accounts from Nexon have actually started getting pretty creative lately, sometimes more creative than YostarBasically, if you look, Nexon has clearly been practicing/learning, almost assuredly in preparation to cancel their deal with Yostar.The ONLY major thing that sticks out to me is Japanese localization. We don't know if they can handle this well (we have evidence that they, themselves, can't--and they themselves are bad at Japanese). It's perfectly possible, but I would wager they need outside help. Not the end of the world btw, localization is honestly not that expensive (I do work in games, and have to deal with localization, so long as the workforce is good the output will be good, and Blue Archive has literal years of reference material for translation)
>>585586113Yes that's what the Yostar representative said
>>585586139I can't hear you with John Nexons dick in your mouth lil bro.
Not gonna doom about the shorts because Nexon made the Kisaki one and it was good
>>585586031Not ligmas, 生徒神名文字 means the character in question.So If you already have S Hoshino and redeem you get 100 S Hoshino fragments.
How come the leakers didn't mention this was going to happen?
>>585586039...you weren't supposed to point that out
>>585586039bodied that freak kek
no more shortsno more livestreamsno more merchit's over
>Students with wings always put knick knacks and other decorative stuff on them>Same with students with hornsI wonder if they ever release a student with a cock they would also decorate it
>>585586104Isn't it just a bunch of free elephs? The thing people were trying to doom over being harder to get post-gacha changes?
Don't let the drama distract you from the fact we're getting Miyako FES
>>585586192we'll see I guess
Hifumidev got too cocky...
>>585586214>Yes that's what the Yostar representative saidHe said it will happen after 3 months and that Yostar will finish all the remaining events such as VR and fes
Jumby my beloved...
>>585586039uhhhhhhhh...............he's just gonna ignore this post....................
>>585585894That one brokie will finally UE50 his sMika.
>>585586039Stop noticing things like that
>>585585680I'd dare say that the devs have to have roughly figured out how to deliver BA contents in a satisfactory manner by now. I've liked how they've dealt with the Foxes for instance and I do like the event plotlines interweaving
bing
>>585586208>people actually generally like the Korean VAstopped reading there
>>585586074Pandemoniumfags had the worst 3 days of their lives before first FES banner arrivedYou will suffer like they have
why are people complaining about shit that doesn’t matter when they literally didn’t give Iroha an alt in the Gehenna tank event
>>585586156The way I see it, either they sick of yostar bullshit or 5 years of collaboration are more than enough for them to learn to operate on their own.
>>585585774if it's such a simple task then why didn't they do it from the beginning
>>585585957The game is too old to be promoted as-is. It needs changes and synchronized promotions. Doing this as one single strategy under single company seems like a better idea, especially when Yostar has been prioritizing their own game and brand.The question is, if Nexon can actually do that.
>>585586231Yeah. that's why I said "character ligmas". I don't know what term global cucks actually use.
when can we settle downtired of this constant monkey rage
>>585586039
What about ASMR?
>>585586148>JP steam clientI'm going to have to make a new steam account with a JP vpn... fucking gay.
>>585586321They do, that's just a statement of fact.They like it because the VAs mimic how the Japanese VAs sound.
Should we inhale the HOPIUM lads?
>>585586259>Students with wings always put knick knacks and other decorative stuff on themAzusa has those because her fashion was initially picked for her by Mika.
>>585586039Like the old geezers at the 'cg/ say:Just had a fat /sora/ in the toilet
Guys if Yostar got criticised over how they announced the gacha change. Which resulted in less sales on global cutting into Nexons money did the Minori fags actually won ?
>>585586208See>>585584106This is the reality, this shit has already happened with another Nexon game, don't ask me how I know this
>>585586420They’re going to need an Iroha alt for that
>>585586321Because you're Korean and dislike the Korean VA or because you hate everything Korean?
>>585586459>>585586459>>585586459>>585586459
>>585586398The only way JP can share the steam client with global is if they fully sync up the schedule, that won't happen for a while for sure
So doesn't this confirm that the leak (if true) was an act of revenge from Yostar?
The game EOS's every time a Gehenna event is announced on stream.Please stop making Gehenna events.
>>585586397they will just ask the VA, retard
>>585586407Nobody outside Korea thinks that.
>>585586074They should've announced it on a separate prerecorded video live two or three weeks after this steam. It can't be helped that a lot of people are worried or corrning.
CHWM
>>585585908>JP STREAMS NO LONGER SUGOY PACHI PACHI MARATHONHOLY UPGRADE
>>585586484Correct, so they will make a region locked version for JP only which means you need a jp steam account to be able to use it.
>>585585305Kim himself said he doesn't want this
>>585586476I'm going to update the rest of the OP and probably remove the youtube link since it's already in the livestream summary. If I fail to make the next thread with the updates, then the next baker can just copy-paste the OP
>>585586179He's apparently either working on AK or hksr the last time I cared to check 5 years ago.
>>585586148The easiest way is to add server choice to the current steam client.
