Male protags are fine in games where you don't see him, like Azur Lane, Blue Archive, or Gakuen Idolmaster.
AP's male protagonist looks like a little bitch while the female protagonist has big tits. Of course any straight male would prefer the latter to be in their game.

You’re both uninformed.
Mugen staying quiet makes sense, the game they’re making is way bigger than AP so of course it’s taking longer. That’s why they’ve been quiet and it’s not like there’s been zero news. They’ve done interviews, leaked designs here and there and even had an offline beta test a few months ago.
As for Endfield they’ve literally been all over ACG spaces these past few years. Plus they actually had a technical beta test you could play which is more than AP ever managed.
These games always drop news slowly if you know where to look.
>AP had a stan in BW2024.
Compared to the other two gachas, that’s literally the only thing Manjuu did for AP. LOL. It’s like they don’t even care about marketing it and want it to fail.

>>1640478
the biggest difference is AP has a license thats expiring with no sign of renewal anytime soon
and of course bigger companies can afford to drop their updates slowly they will survive with the tough competition regardless

>>1640509

That’s just you. If you know where to look there are still """leakers""" spilling details about the game’s development every couple weeks to at least keep the hype going. manjuu has done nothing like that.

the faggot believes that operational projects are registered because they are going to die?

lol looks like I hit a nerve with this Manjew shill.
Anyway the point still stands, if they don’t want their game to die, maybe try actually advertising it. Or if they’re broke at least talk to their passionate players so they can shill for free. But nope, they didn’t bother doing any of that for some retarded reason.

>>1640511

They absolutely are. Even they give interview when AP release their trailer, which contains nothing.
Do note that they are still in the very early phase in their development. That's why they don't dare to do CBT yet.

It's a shame you can't read, my post said there was news if you knew where to look. Of course leaks can't be posted on the official sub, only the terminally online fags have the time to dig up and check out leaked stuff but that's the point, Mugen is a brand new IP and the studio behind it is known to be sketchy so the devs have to cultivate new free shills from nothing to defend their game. Leaking news here and there helps with that.
AP devs on the other hand are cocky as fuck. They think just having the AL brand is enough so they don't bother with advertising, and now all you see about the game is the same shit that you've already seen months ago. It’s even worse for global players since they don’t even communicate after the reveal trailer.

>>1640547
Cope just play your incelbait snowbreak or the png collector azur lane

>Leaking news here and there helps with that
Except they won't fulfill their goal if anyone can't see it. I see nothing of that sorts, so it might as well not exist.

To be fair the "censoring" was because of copyright, the retarded character designer decided to wholesale copy branded costumes, so they had to change them to be legally distinct. After a month they released exactly like they were in the beta, but with different colors, and then they released even lewder costumes with the summer, christmas, and nier automata DLC.

This game is DOA. After playing the Endfield beta, it's clear that Endfield is superior in every way, graphics, combat, progression system, and gameplay variety (like tower defense and base building). The character design is on another level, and the most important detail: each character has a unique height. You don't realize how much this matters, it makes every character feel truly distinct instead of just reskins. On top of that, the characters have unique gestures during dialogue, which is both impressive and revolutionary. Unlike Genshin, where the same four animations are recycled endlessly, playing Endfield's story felt like experiencing a high-budget game, akin to Persona or Metaphor.

After Endfield's release, Promilia will face an incredibly high bar to overcome. I honestly believe postponing its release was their biggest mistake, because after Endfield, the entire gacha landscape will never be the same.

>>1659569
Me on the right

>>1659569
Okay, but does it have unique footwear? I hate how every Mihoyo girl wears the same little heels.

>>1659569
Endfield unironically looks like a bootleg Star Rail thematically.

>>1659569
Yes yes I agree, but Endfield has men and that's gay. I'm not looking to play a gay game long term, I'll happily experience all they have to offer then uninstall.

>>1659569
>because after Endfield, the entire gacha landscape will never be the same.
you're saying this when the game doesn't even look like it offers anything new outside of the factorio gimmick. Ananta looks to be more promising since it's actually the more innovative one with the urban city exploration and customizable outfits. It also has better graphics and no faggots if that 1 male only character is to be believed.

Manjuu is now hiring QA. It's speculated they're getting ready to for AP's first beta test.

>>1660384
Like isnt their one license to release the game practically over

>>1660404
They can extend it, not an issue unless government declines the extension.

>>1660454
Yeah there's that kind of rule. But I never heard any game that does that and the clause is too vague.
(You can request extension of the license, if you give plausible reason). But there's no explanation for what constitutes as "plausible" reason.
Of course they can just re-apply it. That's what they'll likely do. It's not like they can't obtain license anymore if they waste it.

>>1660465
Normally when a company gets their license they're already going to release the game in one year (or at least have a paid beta test which is considered a release I believe), since extending your license costs more money and like you said, is pretty vague and the government can deny it.

But Manjuu works in bizarre ways.

>>1660666
Yeah. It's crazy to me that they just apply for license without having CBT yet. I think it's ready at that time, but CN drama gave them cold feet.
It's a good thing for us though, because they won't pull WuWa(lacking time to fixed/implement feedback from CBT). While the gameplay from the video looks fun, I think beta tester opinion is still important and can break or make the game. This is manjuu, so I don't think they'll ignore feedback like ZZZ dev.

>>1661422
I wonder how different this game will be from the trailer. They've likely complete it when they ask for license, but didn't release or at least beta testing it with this timeframe.

Today in China it is the 26th, that means the 1 year after obtaining the license is over

chinks were creaming their pants when this game was first announced. all they need to do is say it's now a ML game, sell sexy interactive skins and hire some good PR and AP will kill the other mixed toilet open world games.

>>1664666
Even if they don't kill other mixed toilet open world games, they'll still survive with harem niche. The other mixed toilet games will compete with each other and this is their chance to carve their own niche.
Well, we'll see their decision in CBT. And even if they're trying to Omni pandering in CBT, I trust Chinese will bully them to oblivion. Heck, even if they don't listen to Chinese "feedback", I'm sure that they will change their mind if this game is flopping.

>>1664666
Expecting ML to kill mixed toilet games is just unrealistic. Even now Arknights and hoyogames dominate the top charts. Most people are not that insistent once they see women they like from Endfield or Ananta they'll abandon their ML only principles and play mixed toilet games. Pretty soon the airwaves will be filled with games from big companies, it's really hard to break through without being the first to release.

Ok but when is this game going to release?

Hoyogames dominate the top charts because all high production value 3D gachas are hoyogames. High production value 3D gachas without men simply haven't been tried yet.
Even in hoyogames women massively outsell men, meaning normal people prefer female banners too. Liking women isn't exclusive to just MLfag losers that prioritize self-insert wank over game quality, everyone else likes women too.
Even if mandatory skip banners in the form of male characters aren't a deal-breaker to most people, not having that shit is still an advantage.

>>1664765
Well it doesn't have women in the gacha either, what's your point?

>>1664756
Kek. To be fair, LaDS killed Hoyoverse games indirectly by taking their female players. For AP, they'll only take otaku players from Hoyoverse games and I doubt that otaku players make up a big portion of hoyoverse playerbase. Most of them stop playing after Sumeru. The current Genshin player is someone that won't care about a harem game.

Yes. Though truth be told, they should lower the multiplier for LaDS to be lower than *1 if they want to include LaDS.

I mean you can look for any data collector with 2024 revenue and it will never give you those gacharevenue numbers in LADS, if i remember correctly sensortower reported only 394m in LADS in 2024 it is a big figure but not even close to making mihomo tremble.

you know not even Uma musume with 900m in their first year nor NIKKE with 555m in their first year, made tremble mihomo, much less a game that wins less than the previous 2 omni.

shiiiieeett people have to understand that mihomo is not a just a videogame company, it is a brand and because of the brand people will not stop buying it, yes LADS is nice and all but it is a shit that concentrates only on CN and mihomo does not care only CN because their games its in multiplatform even their worst game zenless zone zero did around 300m on its honeymoon on multiplatform, how the hell are they going to care when in a single month it did almost the same as the year of LADS?

Don't we have a drama thread 24/7 for this shit?

I just saw a review for Endfield, and holy shit, this anon is 100% right. If things don't change, it might be over for AP. From the few character events I saw, the game also does pandering super well. This might be my first gacha where I pick a male MC just so I can fully immerse myself in the fanservice.

It's kinda a requirement for me to try a new game by this point. The risk of them locking the gameplay you want behind a male char is too high.

why do all their lolis look exactly like genshin potatos

>>1670700
>they don't, what sells is meta.
Tell that to hyperreal lee in PGR, most meta unit released, sold like shit. Shortly after a female on the same role was released, was shit in gameplay. Still sold shittons more.

>>1641014
No man self inserts, period
That is for children and mentally immature man-children that can't tell the difference between reality and a game

>>1672329
You can't self-insert because you only play female characters, troon.

>>1672329
and that's supposed to be a good thing? there's a reason why normalfags consoom slop because the way they are enjoying fiction is wrong

>>1672378
You enjoy fiction by having basic empathy skills. This is probably beyond someone raised by /pol/.

>>1672398
Yeah and that's the reason why you self-insert in the first place, tranny.

>>1672398
Self-insert fags are simply incapable of enjoying stories that don't feature MC that is "literally me". The whole world must revolve around them.
God forbid the main character is a girl. Their fragile sexuality can't handle playing/reading from a female perspective, believing it will turn them into"trannies". Truly a pathetic existence.

>>1672421
>>1673229
Is this the newest cope?

>>1673229

Enough about yourself. How pathetic can you be that you can't stomach the thought that "you're special"? It's sad that you don't even have a shred of confidence in your own self.
>>1673239
Read my reply better, retard-kun.

>>1673229
Female MC fags are simply incapable of enjoying stories that don't feature a MC that is a female. The whole world must not have men. God forbid the main character is a guy. Their fragile self-worth can't handle playing/reading from a male perspective, because they have such self-hatred for themselves. Truly a pathetic existence.

>>1673229
There's a difference for me between story for novel and game. I don't self-insert in novel stories. But if it's a game story, then I prefer to participate in it.
>>1673348
Kek. This is really accurate.

If you had a confidence in your own self, you wouldn't project yourself onto a fictional character in the first place.

So you basically can't derive joy otherwise? Thanks for proving my point.

You have a flawed logic, troon. Because I have a huge confidence, that's why I am a narcissist, something that you won't understand.
>So you basically can't derive joy otherwise? Thanks for proving my point
That's just you, troonsis. We can just read other stories just fine. It's just we prefer to self-insert in gaming media. Meanwhile you can't enjoy self-insert stories.

Fuck that is a good question desu

Actual fair point, you can't even use the "I want to stare at a girl's ass" because then you can just switch to the female characters you rolled for

>>1677621
>you rolled for
That costs money, the MC is free and available from the start

>>1677626
They always throw you some cute freebie at the start to keep you playing no matter the game though.

>>1677628
And what happens if I don't like the freebie?
More characters to choose from is always a good thing, you're not guaranteed to like every low-effort SR char they throw at you. MC is an SSR, always has more effort put into her design, and gets regular powerups to keep her relevant for all of the game's lifespan.
It seems the average chinkhomo crying about female MC doesn't even play his chinky games he cares so much about.
If I see a game with playable MC but no female option I just assume the dev is being greedy and trying to fuck with the new player experience to make them spend on the banner

GOOD NEWS! Azur Promilia is getting ready to make more PVs. The wait is almost over bros.

i want not!gojo or not!scaraheng as my MC

>>1677654
I've laid off from copium and I've prepared myself for waiting until end of 2026. I don't even have any hope that they'll do CBT in the middle of 2025. I feel like they're lacking too much stuff. Maybe because their employees wages are nothing special. As long as the game is good(or at least it's a harem game), then I will play it.
>>1677703
Honestly, same. The current MC looks like ~16 y.o. boy. I want at least ~18 y.o. man. Fortunately, it's not a deal breaker for me.

>>1677706
>harem game
>with an option to play as a female
This shit is gonna attract so many deranged yuritroons.

>>1678285
I don't really care as long as there is dating mechanic or affection system. Of course I prefer if we don't have that deranged trans/closet trans in the playerbase, but as long as they demand romance between MC and other characters, then I don't care.

>>1678285
Yuri is why people play games like this and WuWa. Deal with it.

LMAO. Your kind is a small minority in every community. The full power of yuritroon is in HBR and they are losing to 7 years old waifu game.

They're called yuritroon because they're delusional, just like a woman.

>>1677706
They lost their art director in the middle of their planning stage and everyone started pissing on him because of his shenanigans so it's almost like they have to go back to the start, or at least get the rest of their art team to scrub down everything he was involved with (everything). It's not a deal breaker but this will definitely cost them time and resources. Could be a blessing in disguise. Could be a curse. We'll see.

>>1678336
I thought kincora was the lead art? Or is it just for character designs?

>>1678336
>it's almost like they have to go back to the start, or at least get the rest of their art team to scrub down everything he was involved with (everything)
Nah. It's a recent happening and I don't think this consumed many resources.
It's more likely because they change their direction. Just like WuWa, they need a really long time for rewriting 90% of their story and we can see that Kuro still can't fixed it completely (Where's Calculator in story?). From the first trailer, I think AP is CGDCT series like Atelier and will be focused on Kibo. Of course this is just my copium and we'll see the result in CBT.

>>1678345
>AP is CGDCT series like Atelier and will be focused on Kibo.
So they're trying to copy Atelier EOS? Seriously who the fuck would want to spend on a gacha where the main focus is on the Kibos instead of the actual characters.

>>1678383
>So they're trying to copy Atelier EOS?
Used to. I don't think that they're that stupid to think that CGDCT is the way forward. And if they really that stupid, then I don't think this game will be delayed this long. The fact that this game is delayed(without clear release date in sight) means that there's a big change in content. Don't forget that they've applied for license and you don't do this if you're not confident in releasing the game before it expires.
>Seriously who the fuck would want to spend on a gacha where the main focus is on the Kibos instead of the actual characters.
True. But what I mean about that is they're not focusing about character interaction mechanic, etc and focusing to Kibo instead. About the story, I'm pretty sure that it'll focus on Character, just like in Genshin.

>>1678300
You will never be a woman.

>>1678383
Except the Kibos are waifu material too, like that butterfly boss. I hope we get some kind of relationship system with them.

>>1678285
>>1678300
Right thats why the yuritroons are playing an obviously male gaze game like wuwa instead of an actual feminist game like hi3, oh wait

>>1678588
I doubt it. At most we'll get barebones trust system.
But I can see them adding Humanoid kibo(like that rabbit) as a gacha-able character and if there's a romance mechanic, then we'll absolutely can romance them.

webm related is the first thing a yurifag sees when starting the game for the first time. Kuro knows exactly what they are doing, trying to bait these mentally ill people into playing the game.
The same shit is gonna happen with AP, as long as they keep the fem MC.

yuri fans are straight men who want (You) pandering and a cast of nothing but cute girls
sorry that you're a faggot with the hots for aether

>>1678627
you are not making any sense

>>1678627
it really depends on how the girls are written
actual yuri bait that focuses on being attractive over anything else are made by incel men because they have 0 idea on how females communicate with each other
real yuri will be liked by feminist because the dynamic of the girls will be like irl women while lacking the male gaze or fanservice

>>1678623
well from what I've seen on the current twitter the modern yurifag doesn't really like self-inserts (it seems that they relate the insertions a lot to incels and they dislike it) but they go crazy with the interactions between yuri characters, ZZZ currently has more yurifags than wuthering waves just for the simple fact of evelyn x astra yao >>1678634 this is correct, I remember that yurifag really liked yuni x mihara from NIKKE then when they discovered this, they started making NIKKE shitpost and abandoned ship i have to admit it was pretty funny watching their brains melt from anger.
