Release next year, maybe.2 more CBTs to go, maybe.
I will be the first to state my intent to stare at FeMC's panties all day every day.
>>1820141those will be removed by launch sorry sis
A game called Duet Night Abyss is said to have no characters gacha, no weapons gacha in bm. I hope AP is affected by this and bm is relaxed.
Not only they need to remove female MC option, they also need to state that starborn is an alternate version of SKK otherwise i can't forgive them for adding expys of AL botes into this game.
No fucking way they wait until next year. That's a death sentence.
You will wait until 2025You will pick BlumineYou will buy packageYou will be happy
>>1820240Thankfully you'll never be in charge of any business decisions in your life, and won't leave your employees homeless with terrible ideas like this.
>>1820240>they need to remove female MC option,haha lets fill the thread with this pointless discussion aga->they also need to state that starborn is an alternate version of SKK otherwise i What the actual fuck?Honestly I expected better from an ALfag. No one wants a male MC with an official in-game face.That's why you never see problems relating to art featuring MCs from BA, AL, Idol-master, and other IP that actually get art. You really think most of those gacha would do better with male players WITH an official design? It's either faceless male mascot or MMC and FMC.>YuriGoing to happen with or without FeMC
stealth genshitter thread
>>1820240this gayme has been taken over by transgenders bro, let it flop, and then let manjew come crawling back to us straight men, then manjuu can declare bankruptcy in embarrasment, and we'll laugh at it like troon nine
>>1820240Not gonna happen, this game is for genshibabs that hate AL. Too bad it's DoA already.
>seething continues into the next threadkek
>>1820292It's a contest to see who can pretend to be Chinese the most
>>1820292it's so funny that snowcucks will keep doing free marketing for AP just like hoyodrones do for wuwa
>>1820293>screaming that the game is literally dead on arrivalwell then what's the highest Chinese honor or award that ML fags can get right now
blumine is straight
it's going to be fun watching the 51% go to 53.5% after azur troonmilia releases, and it flops, i just hope you males live leak your videos for our entertainment
>>1820301This sounds like a weird plea for gay porn
>>1820287
>>1820240>muh remove female MCCan you say anything different in your posts stupid pagjeet ESL?
>All the shitposts come from ML fagsmmm noticing
>>1820479There's nothing wrong with wanting to remove femc from the game.
>>1820498Sir, this is a ML game from a ML company...
>>1820498If AP is an ML game I'll play and spend money on it.If it's not I won't
ML game meaning = extremely low quality game with characters so flat and uninteresting they repell any person looking for a little more than a pay walled Koikatsu studio viewer.
>>1820872Are you implying the girls here will have any depth? lolThis is Manjuu we're talking about...
>>1820872You just described every gacha character to ever exist thoughbeit.
>>1820872GFL2 is melting down right now because its devs fell for the ML meme and made their game into a paywalled Koikatsu studio viewerBut hey, at least now you can grope your doll (singular) for the low price of 200$
1820960It's melting down because GFL devs lost CN playerbase back during Raymond shitshow and now without them have to milk global for all it's worth to keep the game afloat. It was always going to be a clusterfuck.
>>1820872Sounds based. Hopefully Azur Promilia will be ML.
>>1820960Meanwhile azur lane is 10x the amount of ML, and their skins are like 12 bucks. Snowbreak has 2x the amount of ML, petting on the dorm as default, and their skins cost 30 bucks.Its just mica retardation as always, always chasing the top dog and failing miserably though their own retardation. Like, they genuinily thought releasing the game as a shipfest was a good idea, the game that is a sequel to a harem ML game. They though that having zero interactions on the dorm was a good idea. They thought that having a brainwashing wedding was a good idea. Who could had though!
>>1820960>>1820989>offend ML chinks>waste years remaking the entire game to appeal to them>they hate you even more than they did beforeThe only lesson here is to never listen to ML niggers
>MLturds claiming AL is ML nowthe desperation is palpable
>1821012I see the yuritroon has run out of bait
>>1821007The only lesson is not to piss of chinks if you're a chink gacha, you won't survive on Global alone.
>>1821031it literally survived on global alone just fine until they announced the skin gacha tho
>>1821035If they did they'd have no need for skin gacha in the first place.
>>1821040It made more money than snowbreak tho
>>1821042Correction, it's still making more money than SB*
>>1821019Let's see your AL account then.
>>1821042Well clearly not enough to cover whatever needs they have. Otherwise they wouldn't need skin gacha in the first place.
>>1821067Of course they're going to monetize it, what's the incentive for them to make more dormshit and not get paid for it? This Koikatsu viewer garbage is always monetized, that's why it gets pushback everywhere, even on this 99% male website.Adding "ML" is like saying>we don't want to do hard work improving the actual game with no guarantee of a return, and would rather set up a virtual brothel to churn out blender animations at 20$/minute
>>1821082Well duh, they're monetizing it because they need more money ASAP, like I said. Wouldn't be such an issue if CN was still around.
>>1821090>they're monetizing it because they need more money ASAPWhere is the evidence for this?Saying it's natural to monetize dormshit because it's always monetized in every fucking game is a very easy to verify milquetoast claimYours sound like something you made up because you're a chink and/or want to dickride CN
they need to remove femc so i can grope blumine
>>1821094Not so fast chuddie, first you'll have to pay for itThat will be 30$ per groping session (character sold separately)
What's the point of making these threads when it would just serve as broken radio platform.
>>1821093>well of course they need more money!kek nice cope
>>1821104>no evidence>no rebuttalfigured as much
Going ML or not is the least of Azur Promilia's problems as of what we've seen from CBT 1, it wouldn't be able to cover the cost of sufficient content per patch if it tried to placate ML tards while driving away everyone else that wanted a game and not another Premium Koikatsu watcher.
>infinity nikki is going to add housing and gardening systempromiliaxissies...
>>1821141Good thing i like anime girl power fantasies and not literal doll simulators made for girls
>>1821111>rebuttalDon't think to highly of yourself, sister. To think that I need to "refute" your stance is nothing short of hilarious.
>>1821178>running away from the argumentk lole
>xe was unironically arguing that companies DON'T need more moneyThis place amuses me more and more.
>>1821264Now you moved the goalpost from "this company wants more money because it's failing!!!" to "eermm every company needs money y-you know!", kek what in tarnation, i'm (not) flabbergasted at your retardation kekypowmeow
>>1821131Could you specify what was bad in the beta and which competitor does this particular thing better?
>>1820240>ALfag>Wanting to remove femcThe heck? I play AL and I want femc not mmc>Inb4 tourist or you're a troonI'm playing AL since the first Soukaku and Zoukaku event, sex: male.
>>1821345so true agpGOD
Was the face design of mmc rated well on cbt? Sorry for asking so many times. Everyone just teased and didn't answer.
>>1821345Proof?
>>1821345>yuriniggerOpinion discarded.
>>1821391stfu kim
>>1821391yeah because you're retarded
>>1821412AL had yuri since release tho
>>1821342The combat first and foremost, characters only have 3 LMB moves and one heavy LMB attack, a dodge and a block, that's the full extent of all the characters movesets barring their skill and ultimate, they get old fast. And i don't think i need to mention how this is dull even for swap slop combat lifted directly from wuwa and genshin.Kibos are an extra skill button that break the flow of combat because the camera breaks focus onto them for their attack animation, Wuwa already did this mistake and then had to roll it back because it feels bad during combat.Exploration, there are way too many copy pasted interactable "puzzles" that consist on activating the respective element kibo there is even daily limit for activating them, the map is designed by getting around your flying mount and as consequence the more open ground zones are just flat kibo spawn zones with the shitty copy pasted "puzzles" in them. There's no climbing or gliding nor fall damage, if you need to get over that rock in front of you that is just inches higher than your jump heigh you gotta call your mount, and taller characters jump higher than the shorter ones.Character kits are as uninspired as a genshitwa can get "if enemy has this element mark, x happens", "consume x element marks to do x".The CBT didn't let you click on picrel but there's your typical constellations, the descriptions are placeholders as of now.Manjuu is coming too late with this way after everyone had genshit fatigue.
>>1821545It's too bad manjuu didn't learn anything from wuwa, since they fixed most of those problems between beta and release, and then again during the 1.X patches. Generally speaking I'm a fan of manjuu since they have been listening to feedback regarding character interactions (they stopped doing yuri baiting in 2018, they upped the implied sex scenes, they have gotten lewder and lewder skins and animations), but they are also stale as fuck. They haven't introduced a single new gamemode since siren OP back in 2022, which they updated only only once. They introduced the cattery, which they updated also once and abandoned. They introduced the submarine missions, never updated them and cut them from the game. They have only done 2 rebalancing patches, and never did them again. Destroyers are still trash since they haven't reworked the evasion formula since 2020. And most egregious, they abandoned lewding lolis for over a year now, when the characters that got the game popular in the first place were mostly lolis (like Vampire and Ayanami).So I had to drop the game last year, and it feels like promilia is going in the same direction, they made a good foundation but left it at that, just some basic bitch gameplay to sell skins. Even the affection scenes are 2D, they couldn't bother to animate them, lazy as fuck. And the game is going to have only platonic pandering.
>>1821545>genshit fatigueNah genshit fatigue is so 2023 bro, that shit is over alreadyManjuu is so hilariously slow I'm unironically down for some genshit again but the rest of that post does sound pretty bad...
>>1821580I'm on the same boat as you, i don't mind, for now, but idk how long i would be able to stomach it.If i were to make the game more "unique" i would drop swap slop, make it a 3-man active party like endfield, and give the MC jobs like GBF/final fantasy, just fully embrace the relink clone since Cygames is too inept to capitalize it on a live service title.

>>1822531Tell the class why is it wrong to expect AP to be an ML game
>>1821545>the map is designed by getting around your flying mountBlatantly wrong and ignorant to what real open world games were like pre-botw>There's no climbing or gliding nor fall damagegood. gliding and climbing trivializes exploration and furthermore would make kibos that can glide or climb redundant. this isnt genshit>and taller characters jump higher than the shorter ones.that makes characters more unique than just their combat kityou're just asking for a plain wuwa reskin with pokemon tacked on
>>1822543>gliding trivializes exploration>but flying doesn'tHuh, don't remember asking the schizo community for their opinion but ok.
CBT stats444465 plots were made on which 2828699 crops were planted of which corn was the most planted. 17608 eggs were hatched of which the mystery type was type of most egg hatched. 163556 meals were made of which roasted corn was the most cooked. The most abundant item produced was fine soft velvet with 225446 items.
Abby was the most used character. Players visited Luruka 175122 times for healing. One player got into 65 kibo duels and won 58 of them.
Bloomy was the most caught Kibo. The grass fox was the most selected starter. There were 149429 total caught kibos, 24 of those times was when the catch rate was less than 1% and 124 of those times when it was more than 95%
Players caught in total 2557 alt-coloured kibos, 2047 shiny kibos and 702 shiny alt colour kibos. The most used mount was the feathered dragon. Players collected 1196827 pieces of wood and 1083272 pieces of stone. Players caught boss kibos 9372 times
>>1822606Cute Luruka
>>1822600You keep forgetting that CBT1 let you buy literally everything possible and keep trying to balance the game off that when its obvious abby won't be obtainable at the start of the game or in the overworld at all
>>1822519this all the potential AP players will move to the superior mihoyo game.
>>1822519This is literally the best case scenario. That thing looks cheap and boring but it's also full of males. It's going to attract all of the kids, the "comfy" game fans and the fujos.Leaving AP for any of the real Palworld style game fans, fans of action combat and open world with some pet action and collecting. The game is also obviously made to run on phones and budget computers compared to AP's high system requirements and high level of quality.It will be great not having to deal with that shit audience around. We are still struck with the ML snowflakes having a meltdown every day but we can't win them all.
>>1823034>Game can't run in most devices>GoodIf Manjuu wants to be successful, they should take your opinion and do the opposite.
>>1823034ML pros won't stick around after they see how nuanced AP's "romance" is
obvious yurikeks are obvious
mlturdies will camp this game like wuwafags camp genshin lol
so when can is sex blumine
Luruka is sexier
>>1823272soon, we won't see mc selection in the next beta, mmc is canon.
Finally, the perfect gacha for trans allies like me.
>>1823313I can't wait for that to happen.
These post will be so funny to read again in the next cbt
Why would they delete fmc now if they haven't done it already?

>>1823345shhh let them cope
>>1822606>Abby was the most used character.Asians don't give one fuck about lolis or potatos, Abby will be the face of the game and i'm glad all the westoid virtue signalers are getting filtered.
>>1823345why are you talking to people that are literally pretending to be retarded by acting like that could actually happen in this stage of development and public visibility? It's the weirdest line of shitposting I've seen in recent AP threads.
>>1823418>>1823419u ok sis?
>>1823402Now they only have to revert the censorship.
>>1823345>>1823419>pretending to be retardedillusion of choice nowboth continuing to push or admitting to being delusional is just admitting their retarded
>>1823436lol wtf
>>1822606She's sexo but i hope the make an actual hebe that's well liked and not just another potato
>>1823514Manjuu isn't dumb, they can tell nobody likes potatoes from the stats, they exist to dilute the standard pool and make sure noobs don't get a char they like without spending on the limited banner.Other games use SR males for this, but AP doesn't have those, so I bet the SR pool will have an absolutely stupid amount of potatoes, and all the real SSR lolis, that they want to actually sell. will have the same body type as Abby
>>1823545>Manjuu isn't dumbthey're dumb enough to keep femc
>>1823558cope and seethe
>>1823558True. The fact at hand is that they're making faction centered around Pammy. And they're adventurer faction at that(they can release that faction character whenever they want it)
>>1823545But what if I like the potatoes though?
>>1823545>nobody likes potatoeswuwa chugging westoid faggots don't matter, also nice samefag

>MLfag hours>thread goes to shitevery time
you will never be the target audience, tranny
No more brother wars. It's irrational to attack trans girls and cis girls that play this game and want to have a female protagonist to self-insert as, considering the fact that the game will be released to PlayStation which by itself guarantees there was no chance of it ever being hyper lewd or even romance/pandering oriented like Lads. I've accepted that we are simply going to get a Genshin Impact that's slightly lewder and is female characters only, and maybe once in a while they'll throw a bone with some master love aspects like some light flirting or teasing with the waifu. Fundamentally though this game is not a waifu romance game, making it pointless whether the MC is male or female or both. Kaleido Rider seems to actually be a male MC only game where you'll get to actually romance the female characters you gachapig for and even have shown kisses and stuff that's betablocked for nikke/ap tier betas. Until cn male playerbase starts asking for romance and LADS-types, it's pointless to seethe about omnipandering beta games being slightly more or less omnipandering.
AP will never cater to me but I wont stop complaining
>>1823936You can have infinity nikki and honkek troonima
Pedogods own you
>Pedofags owning anythingThey don't even own BA, lmao.
MLturdies hate loli? No wonder you see them constantly posting reddit screencaps and links
snowbreak is a hagfest for a reason
I know that reddit is tranny(pedofag)'s hive, but you shouldn't bring it up for no reason.
reminder that fgo reddit banned lolis so anyone antiloli is technically a reddit tourist
>No more brother wars. It's irrational to attack trans girlsSee, even you know you're still brothers. You're not being attacked, btw. You're being repelled. You're the aggressors. A very masculine action as is fitting for men. Cowardly snively lot you are though.
The solution? Remove FeMC.
>>1824285We transfolk want Blumine to stay. She represents us.
what a sad samefag
>>1824289That's one of the reasons why anyone doesn't want her to be her own character. The other one is they don't want to see any male in their game(or life including themselves).
>>1824285>final solution?remove MMC, chuds will leave in droves and the yuri renaissance will begin
>He doesn't like PammiesGood Riddance, consider yourself filtered, bye bye
>>1824420>yuri renaissanceNo such thing, infinity nikki bombed.
>>1824447that shit was way too greedy for its own good
>>1824451Gacha is greedy by design, they're just poor.
>>1824454But if you overdo it, you will bomb.Especially in the modern, post Genshin world, if you want to compete you can't be more greedy than mihoyo.
Blumine won!
>>1824458You certainly can if you have the quality to match. Infinity nikki looks gorgeus and comfy on paper but its target audience is himejoshi(yurifags) and they exclusively use phones.
>>1824489who cares. nothing about that game appeals to straight men and if you think otherwise you've just admitted to playing barbie dolls as a child
>>1824573>nothing about that game appeals to straight menThat's the point. Yurifags should stay contained in their own high quality game with canon femc instead of trying to defend manjuu for chasing the general audience.
>>1824447>>1824489>>1824578>now the retarded samefag is trying to force Infinity Nikki = yurilmaothat game is filled with generic pretty boys what kind of retard do you have to be to fall for this
>>1824463Always has
>>1824593>that game is filled with generic pretty boysOnly reinforces the point that there's already a game for tranny like you. Nice self report, you can leave now.

>>1824593
>>1824667>>1823345
>>1824662two more weeks saar
mlturds status?
What's the point of allowing trannies to self insert as fem mc when they're all transbians so you can't even fuck them?
>>1824771Dead. We know that the "dates" or "bonding" events are just live 2D stuff (no 3D dorm stuff like snowbreak), and that at best we get a "you are the most important person in my life!" lines, no kissing or anything.How did we go from azur lane to this is anyones guess, if they were going to go the omnipandering route they might as well had kept the males.
>>1824635You're not supposed to, you're supposed to find them cute and adorable and want to protect them. You need to get over the idea that every character in gacha has to be jerk off material.
>>1824791To be fair even Azur Lane is very tame compared to Nikke in that regard.
True yurifags don't self-insert, it's more akin to shipping. Yuri is all about seeing two cute girls interacting with each other, sometimes in more intimate ways. If you want to fuck, or be the girl, then you are not a yurifag, plain and simple. Yet MLtards try to spin it like every yuri enjoyer is a troon. Learn the difference already.
>>1824802god i'd go hard on that cute little x butthole
>>1824438Bodiepokes are cute as hell though
>>1824843But you don't get cucked like in nikke. For the last 3 events, every time a girl asked the commander for sex, he refused with "now is not the time...". Even when a girl asks him to grope her tits he refuses too, he even refuses threesomes and prefers to sit in the chair.
>>1824802Yeah, but if I can have cute and sexy why should I waste limited resources on stuff that's only cute?
I find the Pammies cute and sexy tho?
>>1824802no i don't
>>1824791Why did they make it sounds like you're the slave for the botes
>>1825054because i am essex-sama
>>1825054because the AL shikkikan is just a meat dildo for the botes. Some of them like getting gropped, some of them don't, but they all get a turn the shikicock. this is the real meaning of ML, you have to satisfy a base of 700 botes. don't fall for the ML trap, you'll be tied to a bad 24/7, remember that canonically you summon every bote.
>>1824771Blumine is a master too
>>1825063Nah this ain't Master Love, this is Slave Love, where's my agency?
>>1825054AL's SKK is a faggot that denies botes advances unless he gets forcefully advanced upon by botes like Alsace's memory, etc.
>>1825065Aren't you playing the game to have sex with the botes? Well, aren't you happy? The monkey paw curls
>>1825068Her mouth looks so tiny. It must feel so good inside!
>>1825063>>1825065>>1825066foolsa woman doesn't actually love you unless shes making a habit of chaining you to her bed and putting you inside of her
>>1825089>dislocating her jaw during deepthroath-hot
>>1825083Getting laid with a gentleman is roastoids' fantasy, not men's. They really don't have to put it into words that i'm a submissive bitch.
can you guys post webms and picturesim too lazy to install the game, watch videos of the game or anything related to that
this is not a loli gameits gonna be a booba gamejust look at azur lane
>[Review] [Azur Promilia CBT1] Beautiful Girls + Palworld + Clash Royale? Are Qibos just a gimmick, or the core gameplay?Preface> Recently, there's been a lot of debate about how anime style games don't need gameplay. My personal take is that recent games, especially those with large 3D open worlds, tend to follow an industrialized formula to ensure stable version updates: mature gameplay (ARPG or turn-based) + mini-games + randomized stat modifiers (like artifacts). > These respectively correspond to the monetization points needed for updates, content padding for each version, and long-term progression goals. > As a result, many players who play Game A and then Game B feel it's just a different skin—version events, progression experience, and endgame mechanics are all largely the same. So they end up preferring games that are more hassle-free (whether that means less whaling or less grinding).> So here's my bold claim: gameplay fatigue comes from consuming too many industrialized canned games.> Now, aside from its signature cute girls, AP heavily promotes "Qibo"—a pet-catching mechanic. This is actually an attempt to break the mold and solve the two major challenges of updating large 3D open-world games: Content padding for each version, and long-term progression goals. So how well is AP actually doing?
>>1825263Beautiful Girls: Classic Japanese Fantasy > To talk about AP, we have to start with the beautiful girls! > At first glance, they all seem to follow classic Japanese fantasy tropes—but look closer, and things start to get spicy. > Here’s another bold take: I’ve always believed that good character design isn’t about piling on bizarre accessories like a Christmas tree. It’s about using visual cues to guide the viewer’s gaze—enticing players to look again and again, to imagine the character in motion, shifting poses, revealing just enough to spark curiosity and imagination. > Let’s start with Luluka. Personally, I feel she’s the most authentic loli-mama character since Princess Connect Re:Dive.> Classic pink hair, beast ears, sheer qipao, bust window with a chain, strappy panties, and thigh garters—those are all obvious at first glance. But to me, they’re not what makes this character feel the most seductive. > What really shows the designer’s mastery is the braid across her chest—and the shawl. > While going through the story, I couldn’t help but keep my eyes on that braid swaying across her chest. > It constantly swings back and forth, perfectly placed to obscure just enough, especially paired with the ultra-thin sheer fabric. It always makes me wonder… that braid, sliding and rubbing…
>>1825264> The shawl, I think, is the true finishing touch of her character design. > Its oversized, ill-fitting look instantly evokes the image of Luluka bearing shamanic duties far beyond her age. It also reflects her frail body—her soul is damaged in the story, as if she needs that heavy cloak to protect her delicate frame. > You thought I’d stop there? > The most provocative part is…> She’s wearing an off-shoulder outfit and often raises her arms, making the shawl look like it’s about to slip off—yet it never quite reveals her underarms. > Hidden beneath the heavy shawl, they feel warm, sensitive, shy of the cold, and subtly fragrant… > That’s masterful design.> You can also tell where the designers wanted players to focus: the gold-and-blue contrast in her hair accessories and bust chain, plus the 3D motion cues. > For example, if you’re drawn to watching the braid sway, you’ll naturally want to switch characters more often just to see it move.> If I had to nitpick one flaw in the model, it’s this: the bust chain isn’t independently rigged! It doesn’t sway when she runs or jumps—major letdown!
>>1825266> Next up is Luo Qing, the Chinese-style dragon maiden—now practically a staple in recent years.> You think I’m going to talk about the cliché full-body black stockings? > Nope. What I find most alluring is the bead on her chest.> The Chinese dragon maiden archetype is inherently reserved. Her eyes shimmer—sometimes glancing at the screen, sometimes shyly down toward her chest. And in that moment, the black silk subtly pulses with her breath and heartbeat, teasing and wrapping around that independently rigged bead… a double-dragon playing with a pearl.> Its perfectly weighted feel and metallic sheen carve out a depth that the sheer stockings alone couldn’t capture. > This dynamic motion is exactly where 3D triumphs over 2D.
>>1825269> Another pose I find absolutely stunning is Luo Qing clasping her hands together while holding her weapon aloft. > Her tail lifts along with it, exposing her delicate and sensitive weak spot.> You think I’m going to talk about her barely visible underwear? > No, no—the focus is on her expression! > Eyes closed, quietly enduring, as if silently consenting to your gaze and attention… > No matter what you’re doing at that moment, she must keep holding up her weapon, lifting her tail, unable to let go.
>>1825271Qibo: Do you love your shiny, rare heirloom variant?> Qibo—also known as the pet-catching mechanic—is the most distinctive feature that sets AP apart from other large-scale anime style games. > Not only can bosses be captured, but Qibo is integrated into every gameplay system in AP, including:> Combat: You can bring Qibo into battle, triggering effects like attribute disorder for bonus damage.> Mounts: With no climbing and few teleport points, traversal relies entirely on Qibo to move across land and sky.> Homestead: Qibo helps accelerate semi-automated crafting of weapons, gear, and upgrade materials.> Qibo Battles: A standalone mini-game inspired by Clash Royale-style auto chess.
>>1825273> To capture a Qibo, you need a Starlink Card, which works similarly to a Poké Ball. First, you must weaken the Qibo to low HP, then gamble on the capture chance.> In actual gameplay, there are several frustrating issues that hurt the experience:> Hard to control HP: Your own Qibo won’t stop attacking. > Especially when trying to catch a boss, the success rate is low. If you fail and keep spamming Starlink, your own Qibo might land the finishing blow.> Frequent disengagement in wild battles> After finally getting the Qibo to low HP and stopping attacks, it might suddenly disengage and flee—then return with full health.> Starlink Card shortage> Crafting Starlink Cards requires home-building and lots of Qibo labor, but you still won’t have enough. > These cards also come in different tiers. During the first test, only 3-star cards could be crafted. 4- and 5-star cards were exclusively distributed by the devs. Without those official resources, progress feels seriously bottlenecked.
>>1825276> Qibo also comes with a Pokédex-style task system. In the first test, completing these not only grants progression resources but also boosts Qibo stats.> Additionally, captured Qibo can come in alternate colors and even shiny variants. > That’s right—even bosses can appear as shiny alternates… > Just collecting Qibo alone could keep completionists busy for a long time.> Occasionally, you can find Qibo eggs in the wild and bring them home to hatch.> It’s unclear whether the hatching recipe system is unlocked yet—I haven’t been able to find any related gameplay. > Some Qibo can also evolve. > For example, the Illusion Butterfly can grow into the boss-tier Phantomfly.> I wonder if a shiny alternate Illusion Butterfly can directly evolve into a shiny alternate Phantomfly
>>1825278Combat: 3 Characters × 3 Qibo × 9 Elements × Physical/Magic> In AP, each team consists of 3 characters, each paired with a Qibo. > There are 9 elemental types. Aside from Light and Dark countering each other, the remaining elements—Water, Fire, Ice, Wood, Wind, Earth, and Lightning—each counter two elements and are countered by two others.> Each element triggers a unique elemental disorder effect. > Damage bonuses from characters are highly specialized, with most of the boost coming from exploiting these elemental disorder mechanics.
>>1825282> Characters have more than just basic attacks, charged strikes, skills (Star Echo Techniques), and ultimates (Starburst Techniques). > They also feature entry/exit abilities (Star Carry Techniques), perfect dodge, and perfect counter.> There’s no stamina bar system. > Dodging and counter use a separate 3-point gauge, with very forgiving timing windows.> Entry/exit abilities (Star Carry Techniques) consume three points located beneath the character, which naturally regenerate over time during battle.> Additionally, charged strikes, perfect dodges, and perfect counter all help restore ultimate energy.
>>1825286> Enemies also have a common mechanic called the "Stance Gauge". When broken, you can launch joint attacks with your Qibo.> After breaking the gauge, the enemy becomes immobile and takes 200% increased damage.> The elemental counter chart is as follows:> Skills also indicate how many Disorder Marks they apply. > When three marks of the same element are stacked, it triggers an Elemental Overdrive effect.> Here’s a breakdown of each element’s disorder and overdrive effects> **Fire Disorder**: Applies burn DoT and increases damage taken by percentage. **Overdrive**: Enhanced fire DoT.> **Water Disorder**: Reduces enemy attack by percentage. **Overdrive**: Reduces cooldown of allied skills.> **Ice Disorder**: Lowers enemy physical and magical defense. **Overdrive**: Freezes the enemy, preventing action.> **Wind Disorder**: Applies wind DoT and increases damage from basic attacks and skills. **Overdrive**: Pulls enemies together (crowd control).> **Wood Disorder**: Applies wood DoT and slows movement. **Overdrive**: Heals allies.> **Earth Disorder**: Applies earth DoT and increases damage from charged, aerial, and ultimate attacks. **Overdrive**: Boosts damage dealt during posture break.> **Lightning Disorder**: Increases lightning damage. **Overdrive**: Adds chain lightning to bounce attacks.> **Light Disorder**: Deals periodic light damage. **Overdrive**: Converts to true light damage.> **Dark Disorder**: Lowers all elemental resistances. **Overdrive**: Further reduces all elemental resistances.> This system strongly encourages using Qibo and team members with matching elements to frequently trigger elemental disorder effects.
>>1825289> Additionally, the damage buffs characters provide to teammates are quite conservative. > For example, in this test, the gold-tier support Luluka’s ultimate only boosts allies’ attack by 5% for 16 seconds.> As a result, stacking Disorder Marks of the same element becomes the primary source of damage amplification.> Some Qibo can help stack these marks more efficiently> Others directly boost damage for characters of matching elements.> This shows that AP’s first test takes a cautious approach to stat scaling. > With 9 elements and separate defenses for physical and magical damage, the game avoids rigid team archetypes, dedicated buffers, or character-lock mechanics. > As long as your character and Qibo can chain enough skills to stack elemental marks, you can deal most of the damage needed.
>>1825292> Still, I really have to complain—this test had some serious visual clutter. Especially when there are lots of enemies, it’s almost impossible to see what’s happening on screen. > Who am I? Where am I? What am I even doing?> In the end, I just pressed wherever the screen lit up, cycling through everything blindly. > The fast-paced combat and mowing down enemies is definitely satisfying—but my eyes were practically fried.
>>1825295Progression: Random stats? Random traits, random potential values> Now that combat’s covered, let’s talk about one of the two major challenges in updating secondary games: long-term progression goals. Is there any randomness in stat rolls?> Character progression includes the usual level-ups and skill upgrades, plus five gear slots with set bonuses and upgradeable stats—but those stats are fixed.> So where’s the randomness? The answer: it’s all in the Qibo.> Qibo features randomized base potential values (which can be balanced by feeding fruit), rerollable mutation traits, and even randomized base speed.> In short: Qibo is the core target for long-term progression and collection.
>>1825297> Characters can equip five types of gear: weapon, armor, pants, earrings, and ring.> Set bonuses are visible but not yet available in this test. > In the first test, gear is mainly crafted through gathering and homestead production. Upgrade materials follow the same system, and all upgrade stats are fixed and previewable.
>>1825304> Qibo progression includes randomized base potential values, which can be balanced by feeding fruit grown in the homestead.> There are also rerollable mutation traits. After consuming stamina in battle, new traits may randomly appear. > These traits come in various tiers: rainbow, gold, purple, blue, and gray (negative traits).> Once you've collected 8 traits, any new trait that appears will randomly select one of the existing ones, giving you the option to replace it.> Shiny Qibo also come with exclusive rainbow-colored traits.> Grinding for shiny Qibo just got even more important.> Also, I noticed that the three dragon mounts I got from the shop all have different movement speeds.> There doesn’t seem to be any way to train or modify speed, so mount speed becomes another grindable stat.
>>1825306Homestead: So I’m the Palworld Pal now?> You’ll notice that a lot of progression systems—like crafting weapons and gear, making Starlink Cards for pet-catching, and growing fruit to boost Qibo stats—are all tied to the homestead system.> The homestead is divided into four main areas:>Production buildings>Farming huts>Field gathering>Pastures> Field gathering and pastures allow for one-click harvesting. > But farming huts are only semi-automated—if the player isn’t present, Qibo will slack off and won’t auto-refill seeds. > Production buildings also lack queueing: you can’t auto-convert gathered materials into crafted items, everything has to be done manually.> So every time you log in, just harvesting crops and restocking food for Qibo takes ages. > Turns out… I’m the Pal now.
>>1825308> First up is weapon and gear crafting. You can see that 5-star gold-tier equipment will be available in the future.> Due to the short duration of this test, it’s difficult to grind all the way to level 80 and unlock the gold set bonuses. > Also, you can’t preview gear stats before crafting, which is quite inconvenient—you have to craft it first to find out its attributes and which character it suits.> The upgrade material, Fire Core, is also produced in the homestead.> However, only 2-star Fire Cores were available in this test. It’s unclear whether 3-, 4-, or 5-star versions will be added later.
>>1825309> The fruit used to enhance Qibo stats can be grown from seeds sold in the homestead shop—limited to one per day. Once planted, they don’t need to be replanted and can be harvested consistently.> However, there’s a cap on how much farmland you can use, so you’ll need to balance between growing food for Qibo and other production materials.> All production roles can be assigned to Qibo to speed up or semi-automate harvesting. > This includes outdoor tasks like gathering, mining, and logging—all of which can be delegated to Qibo.> You can also remotely assign Qibo, feed them to restore mood, and collect crops with one click—very convenient! > Some materials that normally drop only from defeated Qibo can also be passively collected by placing them in the pasture.
>>1825310> Every workstation requires Qibo, and the initial quantity needed is quite high—early progression can be a bit grindy. > By the way, Qibo assigned to farming huts tend to slack off when the player is offline. They only start harvesting properly once the player logs back in.> It’s recommended to log out while in the homestead, so you can supervise immediately upon logging back in.> Also, some homestead plots had bugs during this test, causing Qibo to freeze in place—manual reassignment is needed.> One more gripe: the farming grid can’t be aligned or adjusted at all. It’s a nightmare for perfectionists.
>>1825312Qibo Battles: I’ve already figured out the NPC’s deck!> Now that progression’s covered, let’s talk about one of the standout features—Qibo Battles. > It’s essentially a Clash Royale-style auto-chess mode, where both sides deploy Qibo based on cost, and the Qibo automatically move and attack. The match ends when one side’s base is breached.> This mode is completely separate from character progression and is designed to tackle one of the major challenges in secondary games: version content padding.> However, since this test only included PvE and many elements still need refinement, the full potential of this gameplay hasn’t been fully realized yet.
>>1825317> Before PvE matches, you can preview the NPC’s deck, allowing you to build your own lineup to counter their elemental affinities.> Different Qibo not only have varying deployment costs but also come with unique skill sets. These include:> Buffs like Inspire> Debuffs and Crowd Control> Healing> Defense roles like Fortify and Guard> Players can also bring two support skills into battle, such as:> Attack boost and speed-up> Defense boost> Healing> Cost acceleration> However, since your available Qibo are tied to your personal Pokédex, the card stats are also linked to your Qibo’s level and progression.
>>1825317This endgame pvp looks dogshit, you cant see anything. There's a reason Clash Royale plays from that top down view so you can actually see your characters and what opponents are doing. In this you cant see shit especially with all the crazy sfx, I can already tell this endgame mode is going to flop.
>>1825319> Since PvE matches reveal the opponent’s deck, you can simply counter with the right elements—so this test didn’t offer much depth in deck-building. > In practice, it felt like: progression stats >> strategy.> There were also several issues that hurt the experience:> Card text is too small, and there’s no skill preview for cards. > No elemental counter chart is shown—especially frustrating given how complex Blue Origin’s elemental system is. > Card stats are tied to Qibo progression, but there’s no shortcut to the training interface. > No top-down view option, so you have to deploy Qibo from the spawn point without clearly seeing the battlefield or what elements the enemy is using.> Overall, this first test feels like an early development phase. The gameplay potential hasn’t been fully tapped and still needs a lot of refinement. > Balancing the extra skill sets in Qibo Battles may also require significant development resources—so we’ll have to see how the dev team prioritizes production.
>>1825321Map: A Flying Open World> Gotta say—being able to fly freely is pure joy! > Qibo isn’t just a surface-level feature for combat and homestead systems—it’s the foundational logic behind the entire open-world design.> Since Qibo can be used as mounts, teleport points in AP are extremely limited, and characters can’t climb. Traversal relies entirely on flying mounts.> As a result, the entire map layout and puzzle mechanics are built around mount usage and Qibo elemental traits.> That said, even though Qibo is central to the map’s functionality, this test didn’t prioritize Qibo ecology. The world and interactions still follow the traditional secondary game open-world design.
good morning s*ars
>>1825322> In this test, the game doesn’t feature climbing—only double jumps—so you’ll often run into classic frustration moments. > There’s a treasure chest up top, a ladder in front… but no matter how you jump, you just can’t reach it.> And don’t even mention falling off a hill during combat—once you drop, you can’t climb back up, forcing a long detour and breaking combat engagement.> The open-world area available in this test only had four teleport points, which serve as map anchors.> Most traversal—and even some puzzle-solving—relies entirely on your mount.
>>1825325> The map also features many treasure chests that require elemental skills to unlock. > To open them, you’ll need Qibo with the matching element who aren’t currently assigned to homestead tasks—so the number of Qibo you need to catch keeps growing.> As for the finer details of map design—specifically Qibo ecology—this test showed that Qibo are fairly evenly scattered across the world. > For example, Frost Spirit Puppets live near water and walk on its surface, but they don’t interact with the water at all. There’s a lack of deeper environmental integration.> Many fire-type Qibo are found in grassy areas, yet there’s no interaction with the terrain either.> Still, you’ll spot some amusing moments—like low-level Qibo brawling outside the starter town.
>>1825329> There were even Ice Spirit Puppets sending heart emotes toward an empty nest I had just stolen an egg from—two of them, paired up.> They had no idea their unborn child was already in my inventory, about to become an unpaid laborer. What can I say… we humans really are the villains.> It feels like the interaction system is only halfway implemented. There’s no mechanic for Qibo reacting to egg theft or searching for missing eggs.> That said, since map design heavily depends on development resources, it’s understandable if Qibo ecology wasn’t prioritized during the first test. > The overall framework is in place, but whether it can catch up to games like Aniimo or Roco Kingdom, which put pet systems front and center as their core selling point, depends on how the dev team allocates production capacity going forward.
>>1825325>>1825329Yeah this all sounds pretty bad. The game forcing you to rely so heavily on flying mounts for movement makes exploration trivial and ground mounts are entirely useless because the entire map is literally designed vertically.Also not being able to climb walls mid fight is just dumb a retard design oversight, every other open world gacha has that for a reason. AP taking it out just to be different is just a braindead idea. I wouldn't be surprised if they add wall climbing back in the next beta.This game won't even release until Q4 2026 at the earliest.
>>1825330Conclusion> After writing all this, even though it’s just the first test, it’s already clear that AP has a robust gameplay and progression framework. > From actual playtime, there’s no need to worry about a lack of content—instead, the concern shifts to whether it might be too grind-heavy.> Especially the homestead system—it’s time to consider ways to reduce the burden. Manually restocking every day is genuinely exhausting.> The big questions going forward> Can the dev team keep up with content production in future updates?> Will the Qibo system be deeply developed, or simplified into a casual feature?> As for the popular debate—“Why bother with complex character combos when three dragons can nuke everything?”—I’m personally not too worried. > This test was short, and it’s unlikely anyone reached level 80 to unlock gold-tier gear, let alone max out gear stats or fully upgrade character skills.> Endgame dragons from the shop come maxed out, so naturally they outperform characters for now. > But Qibo, with their random traits and shiny variants, are clearly designed as the long-term progression goal. They probably won’t be added to the gacha pool (hopefully). > Their high stats mean even free-to-play players can grind their way to decent power levels.> The real issue worth discussing is grind reduction—especially how to obtain 5-star Starlink Cards. > Let’s hope they don’t become the next monetization trap.
>>1825332> Finally, circling back to the original question—does gameplay depth really matter in anime style games?> I still believe the reason people feel these games aren’t fun anymore is because they’ve become like Ubisoft-style open-world checklists: formulaic, repetitive, and exhausting after too much exposure. > That’s why many of the newer games being tested are trying to differentiate themselves through long-term progression systems or quirky gameplay mechanics.> AP is clearly experimenting with a new blend: beautiful girls + Palworld-style pet systems + Clash Royale-style card battles. > Beyond the 3D modeling and animation, the combat feedback and polish require serious technical refinement. Personally, I think the stat balancing and strategic depth of Qibo card battles also demand real experience to get right.> This test only revealed the framework—many details still need work. > I’m genuinely curious to see how the dev team will prioritize production resources, whether they can reduce grind, and whether Qibo battles can evolve into a truly standout feature.
>>1825332The grind is good, the "muh there's no content" retards causes more harm to player retention than always having something to do even if players bitch about it.
now they only need to remove FeMC from the game.

>>1825447he's gonna come back in 2 hours to cry about blumine
>>1825332There are several ways that the Monetization of Kibos could go:Best case scenario: You can get all Kibos through gameplay.Worst case: Some Kibos will be gacha/cash shop only.Middle ground: You can get all kibos through gamplay, but rolling gacha variants will have better and/or exclusive bonuses.You can have any amount of any given kibo and equip same name kibos to any number of characters, this would make premium gacha kibos very profitable.Some Kibos might be event only too.
>>1825331I can live without gliding but climbing at least short distances is necessary.
worst case: femc is still in the game
>>1825462they need to add qibo that can climbwe already have qibo that can swim/fly

freindly reminder that promillia is fucked if nintendo decides to go after them in japan and to get cn and western players to go all in they will drop blumine as a player character if they werent planning on doing that already
No way that was a serious theory.
Manjuu will drop Blumine if they go out of cat food for the office cats, trvst ze plan.
>>1825263Based review poster thanks for sharing that, this thread doesn't deserve you.Very in depth and on point commentary, it echoes most of the legitimate criticism I've seen.Good deeper on analysis of the mechanics and gameplay loops.I'm very happy to hear there's no RNG shit for gear, having to redo the same fucking item over and over was miserable.I'd rather have many ways of finding,breeding and raising good pets instead.Many of those points were already addressed by Manjuu like the visual overload before so it's really nice to see they are paying close attention to things and looking at how to improve it, it makes me feel confident the game has a lot of potential and if it does well Manjuu will keep doing its best.One thing I hope they don't overcompensate is with the complains about not being able to climb. Not every game needs to copy paste BOTW in that regard. Letting people climb over a small rock sounds reasonable and improve ladder mechanics should be done but not full on climbing.Improving the way farming plots can be organized should also be priority, I saw how bad it is already. And improving optimization.Mechanics that keep people playing once per day are good. But mechanics that force people to spend over a minute just to do the dailies bare minimum are not. It's a crowded market and most people will prioritize time and their current games.The analysis of the combat sounds very good too, basically as long as a team can apply enough of its elements its going to do well so team building should remain flexible and due to the elemental interactions there will be incentive to have multiple teams to cover for all type advantages.Sadly I think this means 2026.
I'm looking at the other to be released games and duet night abyss already confirmed they're going f2p/skin monetization. >shota trap mc>can get and max any character over timeLooks like I'm dropping Azur Piss before it even began.

I can already tell there'll be absolutely no drama in the AP community
femc won't be present in the release version
>>1825884This is the game that CN ex genshitters were pushing while saying stuff like "Farewell Genshit"... If anyone thinks butthurt genshitters (and feminists) wont try to create drama and attack it when it releases, then they're pretty naive.I mean the first closed beta already showed a preview of what's to come...
>>1825890>>1823345
>>1825893>>1825451
>>1825702They probably won’t add climbing, since there’s no stamina restriction, which goes against their design philosophy. I expect we’ll get specialized Qibo instead.For dailies, instead of forcing players to go to specific locations to complete specific quests, it should return to the old tradition where regular actions count toward daily quests (logging in, spending X amount of energy, feeding X Qibo, etc.)
>>1825991These were the kind of dailies in the cbt already
>>1825996am I mistaken or the current dailies require more effort than that? catching X qibo, opening X chests, etc
>>1826005>opening X cheststhat sounds pretty weird as a daily, do chests respawn?
>>1826071yes, and there's a limit on how many chests you can open daily
>>1826077ok, that's not something I would have expected
>>1826078I'm not sure if they respawn at the same location or completely random, tho I'd prefer the latter since it would make exploration feel authentic instead of just another checklist to clearbut that mean they cant use it as dailies cause it'd be extremely annoying
>>1826083might be annoying, but also might be something you just do on the side while palying the game normally anyway
>>1826086I mean as a player some day I don't have enough free time/energy to play seriously and just want to finish dailies as fast as possible, missing free resources because of that would make me feel bad.
>>1826090you may be expected to play some sort of minimum time daily. Usually, that's not a lot though.
i won't have to worry about dailies if there's an actual romance

>>1827347that grip looks mighty stupid, it would be really uncomfortable, and will not allow for a two handed grip, or any other kind of grip, and carrying it would be hell, you can't holster it. Also, its like they could decide if they wanted a revolving cylinder or a slide, and went for both.

>>1828746>removing femc in the Land of Yurilol lmao even

>>1820008fun fact: this game's preregistrations in China went down by over half after the ML movement started.before they even started the first beta somehow half of the customer base had already ran away. truly a legendary game.
>>1829987proof?
yeah, we're playing mihoyo's pokemon game now
So how are they gonna monetize this? Same as Genshit?
>>1829993His ass obviously
>>1830007apparently it's going to do with the amount or rarity of the kibos, since equipment fixed stats, and the only way to upgrade them is by crafting and farming, which is tied to the kibos stats.
>>1830007Once they remove femc it'll live off players' goodwill.
>>1830007Basically think of it as Genshit plus HNA monetization combined but without the weapon gacha.The game has a constellation system, they just blocked the higher ones during beta probably because they still dunno how to fucking balance characters yet.The PvP endgame is tied to Kibo though (exactly like HNA) where your character combat power probably doesnt even matter. So they cant really milk you for girl dupes.
We are eating good straight male bros

>femavatar>these same faggots againim good let me know if they wise up and make her a waifu instead otherwise easy skip
you MLsissies can cope and seethe all you want, but a Genshart/Wuwa without homos is already automatically better than most gacha no matter what you say
nu uh that won't do
>>1831236The faggot that wants to remove her? Yeah that guy is like the local jester.
>>1831236The tranny that still wants to play as her? Yeah, that xis is like the local madman.

>The new Nintendo patent covers a system that lets players move a main character, summon a separate "sub-character," and branch into combat based on where the helper appears. If the helper is summoned onto an enemy, a player-input-driven battle begins; if not, the helper automatically moves to a player-designated direction after a second input, and combat proceeds automatically upon encountering an enemy. Because all steps mentioned in the concept—player movement, summoning, location-based branching between manual and automatic battle modes, and the second directional input—must be present, the patent appears to cover a specific combination of mechanics rather than every summoning system in general. Even so, it appears to be fairly broad.
>>1830970>but not gay,>much more hornyLMAO
>>1831619Based, no chinks allowed.
>>1831619Manjuu should see the signs and remove the femc to secure stable funding when they are forced to remove the pokemons
It won't affect AP, stupid pagjeet.
>>1831734copeManjuu getting spitroasted by CHAD Nintendo and Mihoyoyou should play blue archive if you want a game that has a future
>>1831619Nintendo needs to fucking burn with everyone of the law team inside
>>1831649yeah if they lose the jp playerbase thats going to be fucking devastating lol
>>1831902Calm down Chang you can just create original ideas instead.
for example...a swapslop without femc
>>1831860It has a future but makes less than half of azur lane every month?
>>1820141>he thinks they're gonna show pantiesPrepare to be disappointed nigger.
>>1831860I'm playing it right now though?>>1831941>suddenly revenoo mattersThat's basically admitting they do better in everything else.
>>1831946they already did
>>1831860AP will be the new BA if manjuu doubles down on the lolis, simple as
>>1831970They won't seeing as they have already aged up lolis in Azur Lane.
>>1831970>nu-manjuu>lolisLLE
>>1831970We already know that all upcoming characters are hags, though. Lolis and hebes are only there as standard free fodder. it's Manjuu after all.
>>1831970So they'll flop? Yeah, I think it's not a good idea to do that.
we like loli here
>>1831970>the new BAThere won't be anything like it happening until at least another decade.
>>1831970the most popular BA girls arent even loli
so how do we stop nintendo from suing ap?
>>1832244Would patents even apply in China? I mean Nintendo attacked Palworld devs who are japanese. I doubt chinks would care.
>>1832259bruh they wont release the game on global if Nintendo have that patentthe same reason wang yue is not on global cause of zelda mechanics
>>1832262Yeah, just like they didn't release Genshin because of Zelda patents.
>>1832192The lolis still outnumber hags in popularity, especially when you take into account how the popular hags are liked by secondaries
>>1832357Big if true. Rio and Asuna mog every loli in the game.
>>1831649I always find the handful of autists crying about player sex choice to be funny. Like how of all things is that what you fixate on?
>I always find the handful of autists crying about player sex choice to be funny. Like how of all things is that what you fixate on?it's straight from your playbook xisteryou made it like thissome games are for youand some games are for me now
>>1832932So you are claiming that Azur Promilia was made for me not you, but yet you are still here? You don't even believe what your saying, we both know nobody actually gives a fuck about a literal option that affects nobody elses gameplay except your own. Thats why its funny xD

won't be dead if they remove femc
trvke, imagine how dead this game would be without femc
>>1832932>But during the creative process we discovered that if the genders of both parties in emotional interactions are ambiguous, it would greatly impact the precision and depth of our expression>Once we realized this we naturally removed the female mc and made extensive improvements and iterations to our male mc
>>1834096>AP>emotional interactions
>>1834099yes?
>>1834102>interactionskekall of these are just solo girl looking into the cameradude interactions lmao
He still hasn't posted his AL account lmaoo
>>1834122you got xim
>>1834102Literally nothing happens in those. They tell you that you are their best friends, and thats how they end. No kiss or hug or love confessions or anything. Even worse than platonic archive, in that the girls explicitly tell you they love you (but cuck sensei still runs out of the room and doesn't do anything).
>>1834224Got any proof?
>>1834231It was revealed to him in a dream.
>>1834096>even this indie gachadev knows female MC is the problemkek.
Alsace won
>>1834264Every single person in the industry knows this, they just can't say it out loud because of THEM backing the bigger studios
in truth most people don't care about that issue, only a small minority
>>1834290>issueIt's not even an issue, it's a gaslighting tactic employed by a small clique of crazy post-Genshin era chink zoomers that think they can steal creative control over a game by convincing gacha devs to make it worse to scare away as many other demographics as possible.I don't think they realize this isn't twitter, and the devs they're trying to gaslight will never read their shit. I bet someone told them this is the biggest western forum and they think it's some big srs bsns social media like Tieba or some shit
>>1834302Yeah, I bet that's why Genshin and other mixed toilet slop went back to releasing hot women. You lost sis.
>>1834313You don't actually believe 4chan posters in Azur Promilia thread would be against hot women, do you? Who did you even write this dogshit post for?Reminder that South-East Asia and China have some of the highest rates of schizophrenia in the world
>>1834096What game is this?
>>1834319I could ask you same thing.>scare away as many other demographics as possibleImagine writing this shit unironically. What a fucking retard.
>>1834320kaleidorider, indie gachadev company, supported by tencent, got a phone only cbt1>but why?because the gameplay is turn based and the target audience is phones.
>>1834330Yes I wrote this shit unironically, it's called gatekeeping, you should be familiar with the concept since it's all you people ever talk about in your dramanigger threadIronically, the "trannies" you're trying to gatekeep have been here for a decade or more while you came here last year
>>1834337>the sister reveals ximselfLMAO
>>1834340Everyone already knows that "trannies" means actual 4chan users, when a newfag dramatard ML nigger like you is saying itYou won't achieve anything here, go back >>1832437
>>1834343it's past your bedtime lil bro
>>1834343Just to be clear, sister. You are the tourist here, and now we're gatekeeping (You).
It's always the same retard crying about blumine, incredible it's the same posts over and over again
>>1834353What's your favorite yuzuge, fellow oldfag dating sim enjoyer?
>>1834354Xe still won't post his AL account kekaroo
>>1834102Doesnt really matter since those girls will be sent to be fucked by AL's MMC at the end of the day lol. They've already started whoring two of them to be oathed by the Admiral before the game even launched. Three if you count the bigg tiddy elf woman.
>>1834354>>1834359Why are you against making FMC her own character? Is it because you want representation?
>>1834434Blumine filters the small minority that will demand the game slowly being stripped out of their other gameplay elements, i'm all for both MC being their own characters instead of parallel ones like it is right now. I already have my fill of paid scene viewer with a game as a bonus to it with AL.
>>1834437Normalfags arent going to play this shit though. >the small minority that will demand the game slowly being stripped out of their other gameplay elementsWhat? Some only want the Femc to be one of the harem girls. No one of them asked them to change shit in the game. That's just the devs doing stuff on their own.
>>1834437>small minorityDon't cry when the game flops, sis.>>1834444Indeed. But you're replying to the troon that has been shitposting here for more than a year at this point.Nobody has talked about the removal of mechanics other than ximself but if you tell xim that xe/xim will just double down.
>>>1822252
>>1834464Shhh that's not convenient for xis narrative.
>>1834444>No one of them asked them to change shit in the gameYet* But doubt you play or played snowbreak, that's one horror scenario.
>>1834437>Blumine filters the small minority that will demand the game slowly being stripped out of their other gameplay elementsIf you think for a second, you'll realize that pandering and gameplay can go hand in hand.>>1834452Nah, he's a different guy. Now this one >>1834359 is 100% tranny. Xhe won't answer when you put xer in the spot.
>>1834464>>1834469Oh so you're the one who wrote that?>>1834472>YetOr never. If you want watered down interaction, less sexy character, and more loli character, you can keep telling yourself that we're an evil force that need to be brought down then.
Can we just not be niggers to each other for one day? We're all on the same side at the end of the day. We just want to collect cute girls we can pretend love us. The nitty gritty particulars barely matter. As westerners we have less than zero influence on how the game design plays out. We should just be sitting back and enjoying the ride. If the girls aren't lovey dovey enough for you than another gacha will come along soon enough to fill that need. I'm getting tired of the infighting, the only ones we should be fighting against are the subversive feminist elements (and their male orbiter traitors) who want to burn our hobby to the ground.
>>1834434>>1834444>>1834452>>1834475>samefag ML tranny is back>still no vinniesAnyway, here's a dude trying to argue that having kibo PvP means all the skins have to be censoredhttps://arch.b4k.dev/vmg/thread/1811399/#1813520>But if they also want to selling coom skins like before to hook the fanservice audience, that's going to clash with the pvp players who are not there for the lewd interactions and will just get turned off. Manjuu can't get both types of players to hang out together>If you think for a second, you'll realize that pandering and gameplay can go hand in hand.So which is it? Anything to say in your defense, MLsissies (singular)?
>>1834480The interactions will still be watered down and there won't be implied sex like you desperately want in every gacha, there still will be sexy characters like Metsa and yes i want more lolis.Lmao you are so retarded.
>>1834484It's immiedately apparent that xe's clearly arguing from a position where xe clearly doesn't like Kibo Fight and is projecting that everyone liking fan service like xim won't like Kibo Fight or the game being more centered around grinding Kibos.
>>1834482>the only ones we should be fighting against are the subversive feminist elements (and their male orbiter traitors) who want to burn our hobby to the groundWhich can be achieved by removing FMC and making her as her own character.>If the girls aren't lovey dovey enough for you then another gacha will come along soon enough to fill that needThe thing is, AP will be that game somewhere along the line. I just want to quicken the process.
lmao
>>1834491Shut the fuck up, this is exactly what I am talking about. If all you want to do is push this stupid war I don't want to hear about it.
>>1834484heh, you missed
>>1834494>warGet off your PC and go outside for a few days, sister.
>>1834484Y-you ma-ade t-that falseflag!!!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
>>1834482Agree, the game already is looking great as it is, nothing needs to be changed.
>>1834484He's right that if AP wants to success like Pokemon, then they need to tone down the fan service and make this game has mixed cast. But AP choose niche audience, so they should maximize it with interaction (including character story and design).
>>1834489show me your AL account, tranny
>>1834482>We're all on the same sideRookie mistakeI want to collect cute lolis/hebes/JKs like in my Japanese animes.Their main talking points include banning the characters from talking to each other and forcing the devs to crack down on the kind of fanart they don't like, and these people start seething uncontrollably at any mention of moe SoL.More importantly, they want to turn every character into a hag, make them all act like whores, and force you to watch some Kirito lookalike rail themThey're literal subversive chinkjews that pretend to be your friend>we just want to help you kick the trannies out, fellow straight manthen start wrecking your shit to make it into the most unsellable dogshit chinkslop only they likeThey're going to suck out all the anime out of your anime game, and make it into another ching-chong ping-pong hags-and-fags shitfest for Asian normalfag Solo Leveling tards (of the involuntarily celibate variety)GFL2 is their latest victim, go play that to see what it's like when your game kneels to MLchangs
>>1834505>GFL2 is their latest victim, go play that to see what it's like when your game kneels to MLchangsIt has a FeMC. Don't tell me you're THIS new,
>>1834505>Solo Leveling tardsLost a dear friend to that brain rot. I keep trying to get him to watch good stuff but all he wants to do is rewatch that shit for the 3rd time.
>>1834506she doesn't exist for mica now, it hasn't stopped the game from releasing more intimate skin animations
>>1834506Fuck off chang, you're a subversive ML nigger all the same >>1827499You can't no-true-Scotsman your way out of this, the game became a lot more ML friendly and turned to shit at the same time>but you see, real ML has never been triedwhatever you say commie
>>1834511The point is that Mica half-assed the direction change because they're retarded, the FeMC being there basically means it's all surface level. It's all non-canon side shit. If you believe GFL2 is ML then I have a bridge to sell you.>>1834518Sorry troon, FeMC = no ML. Facts established since long before you started your shitposting spree.
>>1834518>game was bad from day one>gets worse>it must be because the game didn't pander to homosexuals and fujos enoughWhatever helps you cope I guess.
>>1834519>FGO = no MLliar
>>1834523I don't play it but aren't you literally their master? Like you have a brand or something and they are forced to do whatever you say?
>>1834521Repeat after me, chang:Men that play female characters in anime games are not trannies, homosexuals or fujos.>>1834526No need to announce that, we all read the original VN here and know for a fact you didn't play any of this shit, because its actual contents would drive the typical MLtard up the wall.
>>1834530I didn't say any of that and I'm not any of those boogeymen in your head. I think you need help, spend less time on social media it's not good to be on here 24/7.
>>1834526Troons always ignore this fact. Indeed, the title that the MC holds is "Master" which they use to control their Servants. Troons, disingenuous as they are, basically use this to conflate Fate with ML which is incredibly retarded. It's also undermines their point further because there are cases in FGO where servants are shipped with other servants.
>>1834532ML came from FGO, that's a fact.You're not the authority on this, the chinks are because it's their term. It came from a chinese FGO community.YOU LOST
>>1834534Then you are even more of a schizo for even listening to chinesecucks in the first place
I don't like ML because I'm not into slavery and like my girls cool and not degraded. I'm glad AP is not taking the brown pill.
>>1834539True. The girls should have their own lives.
>>1834539One day is that and the next is you watching in a corner girls bond with each other... I guess that's what ex-Gensitters are used to.
>>1834538Okay, niggle me this batman, which one of us is>listening to chinesecucks1) The guy that knows where the term came from?2) The guy that adopted chinkcuck ideology AND tried to spread it here while claiming ignorance as to what it actually meansLet's be real, you knew where ML came from, you're just lying about things that aren't convenient for whatever you want to push at the moment
>>1834540>>1834542>noooooo you can't pick the decency, it's either pig costume and shackles or it's cuckoldry and lgbt!Jeets, calm your tits.
>>1834540>>1834542White man marries strong wife (singular), makes strong offspring and conquers the changChang wants a harem of weak debased whores because of deep-rooted generational trauma from the emperor taking away all his women
>>1834519>it's all surface level. It's all non-canon side shit.So like any other gacha bar snowkek with the 'canon' marriages which was a shit decision btw Why should i be forced to be 'married' to a character i don't care about? Player agency for oath mechanics sacrifice 'canonicity' for the sake of freedom.
>>1834555Strong Japanese* Man marries and makes strong offspring to conquer Chang
>>1834571There's enough Chang for everyone
>>1834485>He wants Azur Promilia to EoS by releasing more loliMask off moment.
>>1834581It will be a massive success in Japan thoughever.
>>1834581>ML tard cries about loli here>goes to his drama thread and accuses "yuriniggers" of hating loli>>1825455>>1825810>>1832981I guess these schizos are our punishment for the century of humiliation.
>>1834485It's pretty obvious that the starting cast was made 'safe' for promotional reasons.Metsa, however, always blushes and makes lewd expressions as default and all her animations are suggestive as fuck. She is obviously the limited character of the first patch.That means that despite the base cast being normie Genshin tier kids, the actual limited characters are coomer magnet. And the 16+ rating is there precisely because that was the plan all along - make base game tame and safe only to sell you the spicy stuff in the gacha later.All newer characters being Metsa tier is also pretty telling. AP is giving players the choice: they can play Genshin+Palworld with chibies and kibos or they can play AzurLane + MonsterGirl with horny titty mommies and equally suggestive kibos (it's pretty obvious that certain amount of kibos would be created anthropomorphic too) inside the very same game.
ok but when will they remove the option to pick femc
>>1834581>Abby most popular characterCry more faggot.
>>1834595There's something wrong with your brain if you think that I'm the same person with that guy. Yuritards are female in mind, that's why they don't like sexy female body and prefer baby or cute things.
>>1834615According to whom? Vocal minority shouldn't be heard or your game will fail. That includes anyone that doesn't want man in their game, female mc remover, and of course you, pedofag. I doubt that this game will survive with niche audience money.
>>1834616Go tell that to your ML buddies in their ML nigger thread. They're spreading lies over there, don't let them get away with it.
>>1834619Cry more.
>>1834607The people that want more coomer girls and more intimacy will be at odds with the kibos because it's suppossed to be the main gameplay loop intruding in their paid koikatsu gallery and will strong arm manjuu to slowdown on kibos or remove them, most likely remove them, and there you have it gfl2 / sb all over again.
>>1834619>according to whomthat picture were cbt stats specifically, Luruka and Abby are the characters with most fanart, mostly made by japanese fans too
Straight men yearn for young looking fertile girls.
>>1834626That's never gonna happen lol
>>1834616>>1834619We straight men like lolis, including in harems. You don't represent us, fuck off.
>>1834625>ywn dive into her crotch because there's a female mc
>>1834649That has happened and is going to happen again if the schizo ML minority pushes for Blumine to get removed.
>>1834666But according to what I'm reading here he isn't pushing for her to be removed, but to be made a gacha or starting character instead.
>>1834669Yes but my narrative
>>1834626>The people that want more coomer girls and more intimacy will be at odds with the kibosIt's like saying coomer games of the past were at odds with itselves because the in game representation of playable characters was cute chibies before the phones became powerful enough to held at least basic graphics.Cute does not conflict with horny. The only enemy of coom is femcels and fags, they are not present. Every normal man likes cute kittens and curvy woman.
>>1834669>not to be removedthat's the lie being held behind your back>ctrl + F "remove"you can only lie
>>1834679>It's like saying coomer games of the past were at odds with itselves because the in game representation of playable characters was cute chibies before the phones became powerful enoughThat's not even comparable to the situation at hand, chibis of the playable female characters aren't pokemon creatures that encompass the bigger long term objective of the game
>>1834686You say that but I've seen a dozen of posts saying otherwise, even in other threads. Not sure why you're so keen on denying it.
>>1834690Yeah, right.Doro is also anticoomer, because the mascot is intentionally made cute.You need to try harder than that.
>>1834695Incredible at your abyssmal reading comprehension, i assume you are the ml jeet and not the person i was replying to
>DoroI didn't know the game revolved around taming hundreds of doros for end game lmao
when anons said:>delete the female MC/delete the female avatarthat means delete her from the MC role and put her in the roster.if you are against it, you are the problem and never cared about the female MC in the first place.
>>1834697You are obviously a drama thread tranny that's not even plan on playing this game. That's what my reading comprehension tells me. Try harder.
>MLturdie pretending he cares about blumine and lolis now that xe realizes xis position is unpopularkek comedy in real time
>>1834697>>1834706Ok who of you wants to move the FeMC to the character roster?
>>1834708I want her to be the protagonist though.
>>1834708I'm not against Blumine either.
>>1834708me, Male MC only, all female cast (includes blumine)problem solved, gacha is saved.
>>1834704>>1834708When anons told you to fuck off, they meant they want to have a female protagonist in the game. You're not misunderstood, we just don't hold the same values as you do, and you look like an absolute clown to us because of it.>you are the problemYes, we're horrible people. Hate us.
>>1834720Why are you replying to me you fucking schizo? I asked those two because I want to know why they're seething at each other.
>>1834721To get this response of course.
There's quite literally nothing wrong with wanting Blumine as the protagonist.
>>1834482It's literally 2 or 3 people just baiting for replies.anyone that brings up the topic of removing characters (genuine retards at this stage), seriously bringing up other games for no reason, or ML/Yuri/whatever for no reason is just baiting for replies over pointless discussion. We've already discussed filters months ago.Everything is set in this game.
>>1834723Ok then retard
>>1834726Let's be real, this board is just /int/ without flags. It's not even about the game at this point.
>>1834726It's worse than that.There is literally only two talking points that's being actively pushed by tencent/mihomobots.That's just literally haters and bots. I've yet to hear this topic being brought by any person that's actually planning to play the game.They actively try to shit up the place.
>>1834633Japanese is an exception and you'll likely to fail if you pinned your hope to Japanese(for AP). Most of the comments I read from them are concern about how they don't have good device to play this game. Fortunately Manjuu knows about this from Azur lane, though.
>>1834736I doubt Manjuu aims at mobile players with this one.They specifically made graphics several times heavier with the latest model enhancement accompanied with bigger tits and 16+ rating. They aim at salarymen. You'd need at least $2k setup to run this properly.
>>1834736Japanese are the ones that decide what's popular globally, the game that appeals to Japan also appeals to everyone else.I'm sorry to all the changs but the entire world likes Japan, Japanese art, Japanese tropes, and Japanese writing. When we play a Chinese game we want it to be like Japanese games but higher quality.Chinky style of art, story telling, and MC wank just aren't marketable outside of China and the adjacent MLjeet circles. Pic rel = guaranteed flop on global, and Manjuu understands this. That's all there is to it really.
>>1834742>I doubt Manjuu aims at mobile players with this one>They aim at salarymenThis is contradictory statement. One thing that will guarantee them to fail is optimization. If it's heavier than WuWa, then it'll 100% failed.>1834746Too much word to say nothing of value.
>>1834754How much optimization Palworld had?
>>1834754>nothing of valueBro I can tell you're Chinese, no need to pretend you're not mad.
>>1834758You can run it on low end pc. It's one of the reasons why they're so popular.
>>1834764That's not the answer. Palworld has zero optimization, so instead it has shitties graphics imaginable.AP was going for the same route but then they realized that they would loose to every new competitor, so instead they went for longevity and made it much better.It doesn't matter if a few pags and jeets wouldn't be able to play it on launch, they already have Azur Lane for these people. Even jeets would be able to run it eventually.

Brothers stay strong. I have connections with the devs and they are in fact working to remove bluemine soon. There's an internal divide within the team but the master faction is winning.They need your help on the fight so you must support the cause and get a hash tag #APMasterLove trending so they know the western fans are on their side too. They told me that.Just trust the plan and we will win.A.
>>1834733I don't know if all of them are tencent shills but at least one is.Here's an alleged MLturd saying AP will flop because of Roco Kingdom, a literal kiddie game pokemon ripoff that isn't even gacha and obviously has no legs outside of China. Apparently AP is supposed to compete with this because they didn't remove the female MC kekThe funniest part? That tencent slop he's shilling has a female MC too
>>1834956The same guy also shills against gacha monetization because tencent was too late to get into the market lmao>>1820179Btw Duet Night Abyss is owned by Hero Games, which had a stake in WuWa (another tencent game). Wanna bet they hire the same company to shill here?
The whole world is a rover
>>1834956>Apparently AP is supposed to compete with this because they didn't remove the female MCCorrect.>That tencent slop he's shilling has a female MC tooAnd that's why there shouldn't be one in AP.
>>1834956>obviously has no legs outside of Chinanta but you're on a high horse here, you're completely overlooking that China is still the biggest anime game market in the world. losing even a sliver of that still sucks for business and I'm pretty sure Roco Kingdom and Tencent brands are way more popular than manjuu and the Azur franchise in CN.
>tencent shills immediately crawl out of their holepretty much confirmed at this point
>>1834966h-how dare you contradict me!
>tencent shills shit up AP thread with posts about homo kpoper wuwa and literal toddler game and their narrative about fmcIt's all so tiresome. Does their management really thinks that AP audience is going to play their soi trash for gay kids?
>>1834970>>1834966>samefagging this blatantsomeone isn't getting paid today kek
>>1834973Chinese shilling tactics are a bit different.Instead of trying to convince you, they just shit up any thread/board/topic for their competitor games with low quality spam to make them unusable and kill any community that might have formed.That's how they killed GFL2 in China, all GFL2 related topics on big chink websites were filled with this type of shit for months, you couldn't go anywhere without having to read this ML snowbreak remove female mc schizophrenia.
>>1834978>That's how they killed GFL2 in ChinaThe game killed itself with Yz's arrogance. Now it's even more greedy than ever to recoup the losses.
>>1834983yeah I'm sure people that never had any intention to play the game dogpiling random comment sections is a 100% organic phenomenontencent and mihoyo are innocent, nothing to see here
>>1834771Based. We'll speedrun EoS with this retarded take.
>>1834990No? Even for Genshin, ZZZ or Wuwa mobile platform is only around 30% of revenue. These games are 12+ and have lots of homoeroticism which means most of their mobile revenue is probably women and gays, so for AP, which targets adult (16+ rating) straight males (no playable males), even if they don't have mobile client at all the loss of revenue would be around 20-25% at most.Phones are important only for non-games that PC folks wouldn't ever care about or games aimed at women, because women don't own PCs.If your target audience is exclusively adult males you don't need mobile platform at all.
>>1834987Yes anon, Mica did nothing wrong.
>>1835000>AP, which targets adult (16+ rating) straight males (no playable males)Anon even Nikke with its male gaze fanservice for straight males and no femc still pulls in 30-40% female players. This game though has way less intense fanservice, healing slice of life, cute little kibomons, cultivation gameplay and a fem MC. So how come half the player base wont be women?
>>1835002Who cares if they did or didn't, we're talking about chink shills trying to drown out their competition with random nonsense which is exactly what you're doing right now>>1835009>revenue playerbase eos flop target audience demographicTimewasting nonsense chinkpost that wants to talk about anything but the thread topic. Made by the same person of course
>>1834978It worked with GFL2 because the game is shit, so people didn't care enough to doublecheck.And also, NTR themes are taboo for gachas and devs should be especially cautious threading these waters, even if it's about your previous game, you cannot do anything that implies unfaithful behavior of your character (both mc and women). I understand women writers like NTR and 50 shades of gray stuff, but that's precisely why you either never hire them to write anything for these games or supervise their work. Such things might not even arise from their malicious intent, they just don't understand men enough to not do something incredibly stupid and fatal for the company. It's especially important to be mindful of these things when you are a no name dev with no loyal playerbase that trusts you.Ap is a different story. The game is big and Manjuu aren't stupid, judging by their quick respond to the first smear campaign that implied AP was a mixed toilet game and which would also ruin this game were it not for their timely intervention and open statement regarding this matter. They build trust. They also have 10 year long gacha game where they never fucked their customers or ditched them even once. I'm not Azur Lane player, but I didn't hear anything bad about that game. Only that arknigger faggots chimped out and used gov to censor them... the censorship, however, is avoided with 1 letter even for CN, which means they never intended to censor anything even when gov orders it. That tells me, they want to stay faithful to their playerbase even when they have legitimate excuse to fuck them over. They also easily easily raise rating to avoid future censorship. They are miles better than other players on these market, AP will be fine.
>>1835009>even NikkeAs far as I can tell that game is written by women. It's coomer but it's also filthy and degrading, it's not male friendly. I wouldn't play that game for instance.
>>1835015Yeah sure, I agree with everythingI'm just telling people to ignore when they see this type of word salad>revenue playerbase eos flop target audience demographic pandering because that post was likely brought to you by tencent or mihomo. Many haven't seen this bullshit before
>>1835017>It's coomer but it's also filthy and degrading>it's not male friendlyYou're implying females like filthy and degrading
>>1835023females want to get raped
>>1835011>Who cares if they did or didn't, we're talking about chink shills trying to drown out their competition with random nonsense which is exactly what you're doing right nowThey brought it on themselves tho. Are you arguing that hiring writers who didn't care about the lore established by the first game was a good thing? And that's only the surface. If they were actually competent none of this would've happened. Your fixation on the chinks is weird because they're the ones funding the game, so obviously the company is gonna pander to them as much as you hate that fact. You just gotta deal with it.
>>1835015>they want to stay faithful to their playerbaseAnon they already self-censor a bunch of characters even before the game releases, you can still spot leftover old art from before they censored stuff in the beta, that they forgot to hide or patch.
>>1835023Yes, rape, degradation and ntr are tags overwhelmingly preferred by females. That's common knowledge actually.Nikki has large female playerbase precisely because it's filthy and it's filthy because it's written by women writers. You shouldn't actually support this game if you want gacha space to be rid of anti straight male hate.
>>1835031Initially the game was 12+ and much more tame.They made it much more lewd withing the last year and it's their actual intent, judging from the new girls' designs. Let's see what it will look like at launch. Besides, them being careful with lolis is understandable. If you don't see it's one of the talking points that tencent and mihomo use to shittalk the game. The fact that she even exists is telling. Other devs would just delete them completely to avoid controversy.
>>1835026>>1835031>>1835032>bro please I'm begging you just talk about other games bro you have to argue with me about GFL this is very important to me please just pick a side already we have to go on another unrelated purity spiral tangent about who likes what and what should be allowed bro pleaseFuck off
>>1835036kek
>>1835015>>1835035These days Sony censors way more than the CN gov ever could. For PS games to not get censored they need an M rating but I doubt manjuu would ever go for anything higher than 16+ since a higher age rating just makes ads tougher and reaching a bigger audience a lot harder.If you guys wanna shitpost about censorship you have to consider Sony too not just CN.
>>1835070lmao no way is this real
>>1835075this list is already outdated and it's missing a ton of other games that got censored.Making fanservice games in JP these days (like VNs) is kinda a dead end now because credit card companies and payment processors have really cracked down a lot.
>>1835070Rumors are, AP is not coming to consoles precisely because of snoy's soi guidelines.They wouldn't probably allow characters like Luruka or Abby to be released in the way they are now. Dealing with Apple would certainly be a pain in the ass too. It's really only PC that won't be an issue, since microsoft/linux don't have a say on what users can or cannot download and install. Dumb normoids allowed manufacturers to actually own their devices and police and tax all their interactions with 3rd parties.It would be smart for them to release full game on PC and then negotiate how much of a downgrade other platform clients might be. Trying to do all of this at once while having no income whatsoever isn't going to work. Especially when they have to optimize and bugfix it several times over not even knowing whether soi totalitarian fuckers would even allow them to release in their gulags.
>>1835000>Even for Genshin, ZZZ or Wuwa mobile platform is only around 30% of revenueProof next thread? You PC vegan truly live in different dimension.
>>1835102>You PC vegan truly live in different dimension.You are right. In our dimension devices manufactures is entitled to 30% of all our payments and we don't have to pass censorship committees before we are allowed to execute a file.
>>1835118don't worry, windows 12 soon will bring it to you
>>1835124You wish. Microsoft is not even bold enough to enforce licenses and buying their product since there is always linux and any wrong move can destroy their company. Unlike phones, PC is owned by user and we chose which OS to use. There is no EULA upon booting your BIOS.

>>1835070Do age rating really matters? Every kid knows where to find porn nowadays.
>>1835221Low rating means your game will never have any suggestive content and will always stay a cheap bait without properly delivering. Like wuwa, like genshin, like zzz and many other. The problem with rating is both devs literally declaring they have no intention of doing any real fanservice whatsoever and platforms actively monitoring for any breaches of content restrictions when your game is labeled for kids. They both say they won't and they literally aren't allowed to.High rating doesn't automatically mean devs are obligated to deliver such content though, but not having it means they will actually never do this under any circumstances.AP simply declares that it is free to release lewd stuff and they are ready to sacrifice certain amount of players to retain such freedom. Also there won't be anybody to complain either, because the game does not not actively seek femcels and homos like mixed toilet games do. And complaining also wouldn't work, because the game is properly rated and labeled, thus platforms would have no reason to intervene as well as government (in case of China).It matter when your game wants to do lewd stuff, it doesn't matter if your game wishes to stay soi pilled like kuro and mihomo.
Have they removed the female MC yet?
>>1835221It matters for advertising. 18+ can't be advertised on the storefront.
>>1835070I'm not entirely sure why devs even bother with Sony anymore when their playerbase is so abysmally small compared to PC and especially phones, seems like a lot of trouble for no real gain.
>>1835293Yep. No real gain there.
real gain can be achieved by excluding femc
>>1835331excluding? more like adding her to my harem
