Ai means love
>>2235830Are we going to get characters that are younger looking? You know, to balance the ratio since we are getting so many new cowtits.
>>2235848yes but with whiskers
>>2235848>cowtitswhere
I worry about how many ssr characters this is releasing with. Idk if my wallet can handle that
Louise when?The more I play this game, the more I like it bros ....
>>2235886Every game has 95% SSR characters, they only release SR once every year or so.
>>2235886the clans seem to have at least 1 ssr, the only clan with 2 ssr has been Runa's so far, so if they are aiming for 30 launch characters 13 will be SSR more or lessthe SR rate from the gacha is kinda high, so you end up getting a lot of SR artifacts with a few dupes and the uncaps for the SR magicians themselvesAnd magicians like Mai and Ren with their Artifacts uncapped and with uncaps themselves outperform SSRs without uncaps with a few utility exceptions.So focusing early on your best characters that have their signature artifacts seem the way to go
>>2235883She has spiritual cowtits
>>2235848Hopefully, especially given the characters in the CBT, wouldn't be the first time a gacha rugpulls lolicons though
New faction is very meh for me, bat girl is okay I guess. Maybe the glasses girl will be cute though
https://x.com/coco_TC04/status/2112534056399478904
news?
i cant wait for the release so i can finally have a new personality
There doesn't seem to be a rule in how to approach your opponent during a trial so Rion has her wand pretty much as an excuse to pummel other magicians barehanded during trials.
>>2235891>And magicians like Mai and Ren with their Artifacts uncapped and with uncaps themselves outperform SSRsSo what you're saying is I should roll a lot and aim for the SRs instead of the SSRs?I kinda want Moa
>>2235935Moa is fine, she is the other character that has purple block besides Erin, they are interchangeable even, both are also breakersHowever, Moa most likely won't be the first banner at launch, she will be a standard pool one, and as it stands, trying to get specific magicians from standard right now is tough and it will be tougher as more get added.I'd say this game needs a wishlist feature real bad.
>>2235939Imagine me thinking I could select a free SSR from the standard pool at 150 rolls. It's actually... random...

>>2236136Why is she ALWAYS adjusting the butt part of her swimsuit? Is her ass too big for it?
>>2236144she has a rash there
>>2236145from what?
>>2236144She keeps her ass lubricated and preped so it always rides up as a result.
>>2236135I'm already out of ideas

I dont understand the setting now that I've played a bit. Its 1890 but it looks just like 1990 because in this world there's magic, so development is sped up, but magic is still a secret and nobody but magicians know about it. Why not just set it in real 1990?
>>2236467too much overlap with harry potter. or they just want a world that's modern but they can change the dates of things as the story progresses to better fit things.
>>2236467Explains some reactions like Erin's and her friends where the idea of a middle-schooler dating an adult man is unusual but not instant "eww, call the police"
>>2236467It's done primarily to throw off some historical events, namely the construction of the Tokyo Tower, there will be some historical alterations to the real world as well combining 19th century elements with late 20th century setting, namely again, the Shogunate

>>2236478>only 80% bothered coming back a second dayit's so over bros
>>2236478maniac was indeed bullshit
>>2236478>apkfags were most likely counted in these statsheh
>>2236478>>2236481no wonder "cbt" was so easy to play, they wanted to inflate these for marketing.
>>2236485the stats are for all servers combined
https://x.com/Loryan74/status/2111269710729977969/photo/1
Asora won
>>2236510Shunin has to:>Manage the Office>Manage Minato Middle School>Manage and fix the stuff Ai throws at him>Have to roam Tokyo and calm magician urges>Every day
>>2236510no way moa's just wearing that in public right
>>2236517nobody comments on it, which is funnier
>>2236480My first SSR was a character I didn't want so I didn't bother logging in again. But I did enjoy what I played.
>>2236477I'm wondering if society using magic to make deals with magical beings like Other Cabinet to accelerate technology and sidestep modern history's largest losses of life within the last 100 years might become a thing with the main story. Which is why this is set in the time that it is.
>>2236171I hope she makes Shunin cosplay space sheriff in story.I wonder if Shunin will get some female fans, he looks handsome for a protag.
>>2236517she is wearing a mask, so no one knows who's tits those are
Shunin will be pregnant with my child soon.
>>2236517Its 1890. It was a different time you understand.
who(other than cuckolds) would even want moa when she is showing off her body to everyone like that?
>>2236609Depends on how much they show him and glaze him up for him to have yume fans.
https://x.com/kiga_yoroi/status/2113233218409537610
>>2236517She's wearing a mask, people can't see her dummy that's how phantom thieves 101 works
I missed the beta, how was the game? how was the gameplay?how bad is the gacha?
>>2236759>how was the game?You can play the CBT offline you know...
>>2236510>my virginity is in danger
>>2236759the story, characters and presentation are excellentthe gameplay needs more refinement it's pretty unique otherwisethe gacha is a mixed bag, it all depends on how much free pulls they give out
>>2236477Also it's to avoid pissing off people by canonizing ww2 Japan
>>2236778shunin runs away from any and all sexual or romantic advances, so no
Asora still winning
>>2236515Get to work, Shunin.
>>2236793>such a fucking chad has all the bitches running after himgod bless
>>2236517Yes, she is. And that's why she's perfect.
>>2236779Is there any way around rolling for dupes to upgrade your magicians and weapons?
>>2236793Do any interactions imply sex like in BA?
This girl is so thirsty...Surely I can pin her down and grape emoji her, right /aog/?
>>2236885you mind is dirty and twisting her words, Koyomi is too dumb to think of anything dirty herself

>>2236477I wonder if they're going to do the bioshock infinite thing where its clear that theyre stealing technology and ideas from the future/another timeline. Thats how they got you, after all.
>>2236905Anna making sure we can see her ass as usual I see
>>2236905>doremi repostedhow long til we get the bunnygirl outfits ingame?
anna has no ass
>jigglethat's enough for me
>>2236910I doubt itI think i typical Isakusan fashion the thing of the parallel world will be left unexplained for the rest of the franchise's lifespan given how Shunin pretty much has given up on returning there.But it's very possible that the plot point about his dead sister is brought up again.
>>2236915You can't include a chekovs gun like this with no payoff
>>2236930 I swam in high school and I love it when its clear that writers and artists spent enough time on a pool deck to pick up some minor fetishes too. Nagatoro is a great example.Maybe we'll get some deck changing. We already got some nice mons pubis.
>>2236930need white girl so bad
>>2236296We are going to Canada?
>>2236880No, shunin either gets embarrassed and runs away if the girl has the upper hand (like Ai), or uses his authority to turn them away (like with the bunny suits). And also, there isn't a single implied sex scene in BA, there isn't even a kiss or a confession from sensei
xe's going to pretend there's no jc and jk dating again isn't xe

>>2236759> how bad is the gachaMagicians and artifacts are in the same banner, 3% for SSR I don’t remember the split. It has a spark system like trickcals, tickets carry forward indefinitely, 150 tickets for a magician.>>2236876Magician dupes are literally 2% stat increases, the bond systems gives tokens that can be used to unlock dupe nodes, half of them can be gotten this way. I don’t know how important artifact dupes are.
>>2236774You thank you, it took me sometime but I found what I was looking for will try it later. thanks again!
>>2237002There's dating as there is dating in zzz, you hang out with the girl a bit and then nothing happens
>>2237071where's the zzz handholding
>>2237113Right there in the cinema scenes? And in several other CGs. My point is that if you define dating as hanging around for a bit, then any mihoyo game has more romance than AO, which is pathetic. We make fun of that shit, but this game has even less and you guys are considering it a win somehow? We should be demanding more from the devs, especially since every other aspect of the game is top tier
im gonna demand sex scenes
>>2237128Idk why i have to state the obvious but...Wait until the game releases and we see all the bond dates first, however one thing is true through gacha games, "romance" tends to vary from character to character. Some girls might probably have more overt romantic scenes than others, with (You) reciprocating, maybe. And some will stay purely platonic. It's left open ended most of the time exactly to fuel fan works.People love toying with the development and the comedy, that journey for many is more fun than the destination (Canonizing a romantic choice).And all of these romantic developments will probably be non-canon to the main story anyway and remain self contained within their bond stories if they happen.Gacha games don't do the snowbreak/kaleido thing that commits to a canon romance from an optional feature to not force a choice on the playerbase.So if that's what you want, seek out Kaleido because you will not be getting it here, or just read visual novels. Gacha games are a medium that needs to maintain the status quo for as long as possible.

>>2237263Kobato Mart’s accountant and a tsukumogami mage.A student at a prestigious girls’ school, she found herself saddled with an enormous debt due to circumstances beyond her control. While struggling to pay it off, she was recruited by Tsubasa, who recognized her talent.As Kobato Mart’s resident schemer, she can spot legal loopholes and gaps in the rules from a mile away, then exploit them with surgical finesse.“Someone as talented as me doesn’t belong in a place like this. I’ll be leaving as soon as I’ve paid off my debt, so don’t act like we’re friends.”Despite constantly saying this, she’s always the first to look out for her fellow Kobato Mart employees, earning their unwavering trust.And judging by the way she stands her ground against even the roughest magicians of the underworld, never backing down and always ready with a cutting remark, this young lady might just be the most naturally suited to life in the underworld out of the entire group.

New interview with D1 CEOhttps://www.topdaily.kr/articles/112429
>>2237319>twee~
>>2237263cute
>>2237319CEO confirms NCsoft won't be meddling in the game's monetization and will just be helping with publishing the game (server infrastructure, overseas promotion) and that they respect D1's gacha development knowledge and their soon to be user friendly approach.
>>2237327LET'SFUCKINGGOOOOOOOOOOO
>>2237319This is exactly what i was saying, this pretty much tellls you what D1 was feeling when they were at Nexon's offices.The second Nat Games merged with Nexon GT into Nexon Games it's when they felt it.
>>2237319CEO says that the game will be focused on "horizontal power expansion" between characters where they will have unique use cases based on narrative theming and that Dynamis One firmly rejects vertical powercreep/character power inflation, where newer characters are released stronger than the previous ones rendering them ineffective. They intend for the game to be able to be enjoyed by people wanting to immerse themselves in the story without having to spend money and the plan is to release 30 new characters anually,
>>2237327Not like they are going to say "we are always" in disagreement all the time but we will see, i somewhat trust D1's judgement, i think they will react quickly to feedback if a controversy arises.
>>2237335I've heard this a hundred times before. I'll believe it when I play it.
>>2237335Given the current way the character kits are structured, huh, that will be surprising if they pull it off, somehow
>>2237329Nexon cultists ain't gonna like this
>>2237335this is how it starts, but sooner or late some girls will have longer counter windows, some will have combos that don't take full sparks, etc., etc.

>>2237497You stack the potion counter from her normal attack as much as you can then you ult to roid your attacker with a fat Ult Dmg. Buff. Aditionally, you can hold her normal attack to charge 2 to give a the team crit chance buff.She is good alongside the Doll, but Nono or supports like her and Souka aren't that good for short battles unless you give them a lot of Ult point recovery from runes or level their dominion skill and rush to activate the requirement.

One thing that really bugs me about the combat are red attacks. You either need a defender or someone with high HP to eat the attack. If another red attack happening then it's just gg for that character.
>>2238578You need an o ereatch five meta type team.
>>2238422It's most likely, one banner every 2 weeks + the occasional free event unit and then a double banner for special things like halfanniversary and full anniversary for a total of 30 per year.

>>2238790Nopan!?!?
I could answer your L2D questions if i was able to rip the assets of the game, but apparently not only the asset bundles are encrypted but also its built on a very recent version of Unity so not sure how other people managed to rip it. I don't know Chinese either so it makes things harder.

>d1 don't even have 100 employees working on the game>made all this in less than 2 years total dev time>plan to release THIRTY character yearly>this equals one new character every 12 days on averagejesus christ, what black magic are they doing over in korea
>>2238913It's obviously a rehashed version of Project KV. They probably had the game figured out back in 2024 and were looking for investors.KV would've come out in 2025 if it weren't for Nexon, who sued the game to oblivion.
>>2238913NC is providing some of the assets and manpower
>>2238913why so quantity over quality character? I'm kinda worried
>>2239013need more SR and R character early in the game so they can focus on SSR in the future just like other gacha
>>2238979you can't just "rehash" all the animations, story, and modeling. and they'd still have to create new shit eventually, the animations in this game are pretty good so them releasing 30 a year is crazy
>>2238979That's not how it works, retard bro.
>>2239059bro they just copy pasted everything into a thumb drive they suck out and changed a couple lines

what a strange way to say an event start date
>BA committed suicide in JP market just now.The stars are aligning for this game to take over.
>>2239252how so?
>>2239258Nexon will take full control of BA JP server, Yostar will no longer handle any BA related contents.
>>2239260seems like a bad idea right after the gacha changes. pure greed for a bigger cut?
>>2239266My completely baseless theory is that whatever contract Nexon had with Yostar is expiring. Nexon saw how much money they made in the JP market and figure they stand to earn as much or more without Yostar's service.
>>2239260>Nexon will take full control of BA JP serverso uh, will we finally get full JP dub in story?
>>2239266The deal was probably on the table years ago, Yostar rushed out their BA clone because they knew Nexon would kick them out sooner or later. But this pretty much would send JP BA to the early grave since JP players detest Nexon, and now there is no Yostar being the middleman doing all the promotions, merchandises sale and events in Japan.
>>2239271Last time Yostar withdrawn from publishing a game, that game had all their voiced story removed, and then EOS a year later.Yeah that was Aether Gazer.
>>2239277But the game wasn't in a safe spot though you're comparing AG to BA
>>2239260>/bag/ is defending this moveI really don't know why they love Nexon so much
Guess Nexon is extremely confident they can do the same on their own. Akiba is no longer the biggest deal ever but it still carries some weight. That's a lot of footprint they lose all of a sudden.
The angry looking imouto mistress is getting into my nerves
>>2239316getting a particular vibe from her
>>2239326No...
>>2239326Every fucking six month someone remember i have the manga under my bed so i forgot i own itShe's more fuckable on the left
>>2239316Reminds me alot of this girl from love bullet
>>2239316I bet she is weak to anal
>>2239288It's not like they have a lot of choice to be fair
>>2239288They have to now more than ever Nexon can take their beloved game to the grave any time now, /bag/ also love the new pity system they are completely ootl on how the average player feels.I predict BA to go the Stella Sora route slowly forgotten and niche replaced by a new shiny toy, the new Azusa and Hifumi are just awful and might as well be new students.AO has the golden road carved for them now it cannot be easier than that as long as they don't fuck up the gacha.
>>2239442There is a big difference between apathy and actually supporting it. Apparently Nexon can do no wrong.
>>2239442They could only either quit or continue playing, and at this stage it's mostly sunk cost fallacy kicking in to make them stick to the bitter end.
>>2239447Somehow the gacha gods are lining up everything to make shunin's balls a big hit. I hope too that NCsoft doesn't fuck it up.
>>2239442at this point its like changing shit to turdim going to miss a lot of those content outside the game thats only possible because of yostar tho
>>2239260you know what the worst out of this whole affair is>no more ASMR
>>2239326>Has huge debt not through her fault>Got tangled with Kobato Mart underground due to thisYeah she's one slip up to becoming one really.
>>2239497The official ASMRs were too tame for me anyway
>>2239617Only liked misaki a lot lot by far personally Azur lane asmr hard mog the market
>>2239617Why are they so tame? In AL they suck you off and have sex while in the tub.Well, if this game ever gets ASMR its going to be the same tame shit
>>2239776AL's ASMR are made by a company called Atelier Mer, which Yostar also coordinates with so i'm not sure why Yostar own ASMRs don't go off harder
>>2239776>Well, if this game ever gets ASMR its going to be the same tame shitYeah, and I'll ignore it much like BAs
>>2239783>Yeah, and I'll ignore it much like BAsYou can do whatever you want, but both the BA and AL ones always get like top 10 or top 5 they are super popular
astrae oratio?
>>2239792Play both. Love both.
>>2239617I enjoyed them greatly with some doujin added to it Kayoko to this day remains my favorite not getting ASMR just sucks in general idc if it's tame

>>2240508>skirt so short you get a peek of her panties even while she's standing completely stillholy fuck
>>2240539Corrected
>>2240522Eh, they just need to stick to schedule. Even the gacha drama was pure coincidence. AO is doing everything right by being consistent with promos and stuff rather than being vague and no news for a stupid amount of time
whatever happened to that one porn artist? Abalone or something was his name

>>2240581You are thinking of Astrae Irrumatio, aren't you?
>>2240582I just learned that termI'm not a rough guy but holding her by the pigtails sounds tempting
In hindsight, yostar doing this now makes sense.
>>2240585Maybe we really got a future with Yostar ahead
>>2240595If there's business to be had and money to be made, then sure.
>>2239332>She's more fuckable on the leftmany fail to understand this
>>2239447Because the gacha change drama was a nothing burger only spouted by a minority of browns and seapags.Jp players being vocal about the publisher change now is justified seeing how its entirely up to nexon now to decide the brand reputation of the games future.
is this cunny-only game?
>>2240630lmao
here's your VA for the main girl
Why does Ai say she loves you?
>>2240645I really love her voice. She has that ever so slight lisp. The way her tone sounds kinda wavy is great too.
>>2240595I don't see it, not when they literally have their own BA wannabe they could be promoting instead >>2240655(You)'re her star
>>2240645>Literally has no role beside voicing a young boy side character>Is already pro seiyuu levelHoly shit, AO casting got a hidden diamond
>>2240655It's all a ruse. She knows that there's something important in Shunin that she knows she can make good use of, that's why she acts all chummy right at the start
>>2240692>that's why she acts all chummy right at the startShe knows how to push my buttons damn
Whiskers tomorrow...
>>2240508Shimapan makes me diamonds
>>2240687Most of the Seiyuus in the game are new names but honestly i have no complaints about the voice acting in the game, maybe Mayoi's as a nitpick of mine. Luise's seiyuu conveys the character way too well.
>>2240692>She knows that there's something important in Shunin that she knows she can make good use ofWell yeah, she got him doing all her work for her

>>2240810The rebates weren't part of the original iteration and you know it.
>>2240810Nobody cares about 80 rebates for a 320 double spark, everyone enjoyed the comfort of double dipping in a 200 spark, last message from me since this is too hard to understand for your kind.
>>2240827Even without the rebates, BA's hoyogacha is still better than AO's atp. However, AO is at least transparent about the Jewish tricks they're using right off the bat unlike BA.
>>2240856you are just retarded

BAfags don't tell you this but basically every student is useless straight out of the gacha. You need to get them from 3* to 5* and level up their Unique Equipment (locked behind reaching 5* btw). Getting any student to be optimal for high difficulty raids requires at least 2-3 dupes.
news tonight?
>>2241278Perhyaps
>>2241278Probably a new clan in an hour.
>>2241291based schizo
>>2240869It has them but they're unlocked with dupe frags after you max dupe a char, not something you directly gacha. Some of them are absolutely fucking massive and change a meme char into a meta char but you can farm some chars frags from stages with stamina and a currency you get from rolling the gacha can be converted into dupe frags for any character you own.

>>2241346AIIIEEE THE WHISKERS STAYED
>>2241347I don't know what were you expecting bro, the blue one had a 3D model, thankfully they are launch characters.
>>2241346The middle one wasn't part of the leaks and looks like a petite too so it's a 3-midget clan
>>2241346[Notice from the Special District Office PR Department]Clan Introduction - New Onigoya“A clan formed by mountain oni who moved to Tokyo all the way from Niigata.”- Area: Arakawa, Tokyo- Members: Kitora Shizuku / Kamikura Kotoha / Kamikura Tamaki
I'm a retard who can't keep up with all these dozens of gacha games. Who is the actual developer of this one? Which company?
>>2241350>>2241346guess the whiskers are two sisters
>>2241346Whisker lolis let's gooo. Seeing the leaks with them sometimes makes me hope NC loves these devs enough if they get successful that they sneak Poharan somewhere since she'd fit right in.
>>2241350>japanese OniI thought they were chinese dragons or something, zero Chinkwank in this game so far then.Which means the Shuringakuin clan could be next. Please, i want content for my wife Kanon.
>>2241352Dynamis One, a newly established developer, former Nexon employees.
Here this is 4 u guys
>>2241361
>>2241356it takes place in tokyo lolglad pikaman is a massive weeb, i have chink fatigue in anime gachaslop
>>2241346I hope they improved the navels
>>2241346so teh two onis are the dragons and middle girl is carp with that tail themed hair?
>>2241364Praising grorious Chyna is hip these days but i guess Isakusan is folded a thousand times so he's immune to the Chinese mind virus.

>>2241374Canon or not, Anna is my wife always
>>2241349pretty big improvement over the last one they teased then
>>2241349what if it's a two person clan like the cafe and she's a lolibaba who isn't playable?
>>2241381Sae wasn't leaked and she is playable out of the mart girls.
>>2241381there are playable college students so a lolibaba could be on the table maybe

>>2241346this will be the lowest rated design just due to the whiskers
>>2241364Chinkwank isnt even an issue in non chinkgacha, its just chinks themselves that suck at promoting their own culture since it feels more like propaganda
>>2241548yeah chinese culture was always a thing in anime, you don't see anyone complaining about ituntil its chink doing it themselves lmao
>>2241575Very niceI like her
>>2241575The proprietor of the dagashi shop New Onigoya.A mountain oni from Niigata, Shizuku is the daughter of the Kitora family, which has operated a large brewery for generations. Although she was supposed to take over the family business, she rebelled against the way she was raised, which clashed with her own values, and ran away to Tokyo with her childhood friends, Kotoha and Tamaki.She’s usually the one caught up in whatever trouble the twin oni sisters stir up, but when her patience runs out, she has a fierce side of her own, using her superhuman strength to put Kotoha and Tamaki in their place.
>>2241575I'm taking this child home.
>>2241575WTF. She looks this good but the other 2 look like gremlins.
>>2241575She got whiskers too huh, just well hidden

>>2241575What a cutie, I'm really liking this faction.

You niggas think Dynamis Wan knew about the Blue Archive-Yostar partnership ending in 2027 which is why they delayed AO's release to capitalize?
>>2242711no
>>2242711We will only know if it is reflected on what they do or yostar does.
>>2242711I don’t think it was "delayed". The Super Teaser PV released 5 months ago already mentions the year 1889 as "Reisei 9". This is clearly a blend of the Japanese era names "Reiwa" and "Heisei", and it corresponds to an actual year in the Japanese calendar—next year will be Reiwa 9. Therefore, the target year for AO must have been 2027 all along.

So how to signature artifacts differ from normal artifacts? Just the cosmetic signature on the card?
>>2243518Yes, the signature is a cosmetic thing.
How did Ai know Shunin's number?How did Ai know Shunin's professional background?How did Ai know when exactly Shunin arrived?How did Ai know that Shunin threw himself in the river?How did Ai know Shunin's smartphone was different?Why did Ai become the Commissioner of the SDO?Why did Ai need a replacement for the SDO's duties?What does Shunin even do at the SDO?These better be explained.

Which girls would be open to a threesome?
>>2244473looking forward to it bwo
>>2244629The two Oni sisters that are about to be revealed.
>>2244603my bet is on braces! because you're most likely in control when you get stuck on the doll joint and can just stop. while Mayoi would be actively sucking when you get stuck. her first reaction to your pain, would be being startled and trying to pull away - only making it worse.
Character Introduction - Kamikura Kotoha“See? I'm a genius, right? Wow, what a brilliant idea.My own talent is almost scary...!”Staff Member No. 2 at New Onigoya, a dagashi shop.A mountain oni from Niigata, Kotoha is the elder of twin sisters born into the Kamikura family, which has served the Kitora family for generations. Having always thought, “Working at some stuffy old brewery? How boring!” she jumped at the opportunity to follow Shizuku to Tokyo when Shizuku ran away from home.A starry-eyed dreamer, Kotoha figures that since she’s made it all the way to Tokyo, she might as well become a famous influencer!She is always brimming with energy and quick to spring into action.
>>2244780>twin sisters the other one doesn’t look the same though…
OH NOOOOOOOO WHISKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>2244780Aieeeee the whiskers
>CV: Miyazawa KoharuOnly major is Saki from Idoly Pride. Guess she's going to have lots of time to voice this one haha.
>>2244780Whisker bros WON!
>>2244787were recording cameras easily accessible in 1989?
>>2244780>>2244785>>2244787Yeah I still don't fw the whiskers
Might be the first character design I'm not really all that into.
>>2244806rare in the 60's, common in the 80's
C'mon anons it's like them Chinese dragonsThey're cool right
>>2244780I already got over them, they don't look bad when you put all 3 onis in the same composition.
>>2244785>>2244787100% deserves to be taken advantage of.
>>2244816I liked her more when I realized she looks like Kyoko. And those hips
>>2244806It's a tripod camera, these did exist already by then
>>2244819yes and it would've fit as a cope but for oni? why are those whiskers supposed to be part of an oni design? looking at both anime and old japanese drawings none had those. should've just given them the good old blue and red skin to get that across. it makes no sense, ruined the design for artist ego to be special.
>>2244781Not all twins are identical...
https://x.com/Asora_EN/status/2116107848094802302ass
>>2244940Her butt probably smells so good. I need her to sit on my face and smother my nose with her sweaty butthole.
>>2244944As long as you're not in the UK
>>2244846>blue and red skin I mean if you want them to stick out like sore thumbs
>>2244988the whiskers aren't? their horns are apparently hidden, the skin color could be too. there are a bunch of oni that have normal skin color and just horns too, if you want to go that way. it's all better than those needless whiskers.
>>2244780She's gonna look like SEX in 3D
>>2244990The whiskers are a small part of their overall bodies, they stick out so much because you're staring at them. If it was their skin there'd be nowhere to avoid looking. Also, nobody is talking about how Shizuku would hypothetically look like in this discussion.
>>2245033You don't understand how composition works, I would advise taking an art class before talking shit. Every single line, color and negative space in the illustration directs your eyes to her face, and the most standout feature of her face is the whiskers. Normally it should be the eyes, but either the artist is incompetent, or wanted the viewer to focus on her whiskers.
>>2245033>Also, nobody is talking about how Shizuku would hypothetically look like in this discussion.YELLOWnah but she would look almost the same, as hers are mostly hidden and you wouldn't even notice if they got deleted. btw iirc nobody said oni when Kotoha got leaked, clearly failed the assignment there!but whatever it's not like those whiskers will change now. gotta live with her design likely being wasted for no reason. the game won't die from it fortunately.
>>2245072We can only cope that they'll give her a good costume, but more likely she is going to be one of those release units that both the players and the devs forget about 6 months in and she'll never appear in any future story or event
>>2245080It's worrisome that they are trying to launch this game with around 30 characters, it will make rolling for matching artifacts a pain in the ass unless they are rate'd up, so if there's a second beta test i would ask them to address this.
>>2245080it's a shame because an easy middle ground would've been to make it simple white hair strands at the same spot. instead of sticking out like that nicely tucked in with the rest. maybe she gets a costume with a hat or bandana to fix it.

https://www.thisisgame.com/articles/431670another interview but im going to wageslave so i'll read it later
>>2244780I really like how her pants are hakama in a hiphop style, she reminds me of a girl from a small ps1 fighting game.I'm so mad ZZZ never got JSR-inspired team>famous influencerDo they even have social media in '89?
>>2245231>The overall BM structure, including the integrated recruitment of characters and artifacts or ceiling systems, is not yet a finalized step. Based on the feedback we received from this test, we are reviewing the proposal for improvement and may change until the full release.>Basically, we are preparing in a way that does not go far beyond the standards that are normally accepted in the genre. We believe that we should be able to collect characters and enjoy the game with just constant play, and we plan to refine the specific structure and figures based on this.well looks like they are touching the gacha system, i hope in a good way
>>2245244I hope they can make it so you can at least collect everyone easily. I don't care about meta I just want to see all their stories and interactions
>>2245244It doesn't look good, actually. Note how they mention >we are preparing in a way that does not go far beyond the standards that are normally accepted in the genreThis means they want to implement a mihoyo-like system, which people accepted in genshin since its open world, but for a budget game like AO its way too expensive. This is the same mistake stella sora had at launch, and despite giving away tons of rolls people didn't care. I'm not going to even explain that tribe9 did something similar.The worst case scenario for a game coming out in the near future is being branded as "expensive" or "stingy" by players, there isn't exactly a lack of other gacha games nowadays. The new bleach game that came out a few days ago gives you a total of 1 pull for completing a whole story chapter, and it's already dead. The new shadowverse game also died on release because it was WAY stingier than the first one.The only games that can afford to be stingy are shit like the hololive rhythm game, since you don't really need to pull to interact with the gameplay
>>2245258For a game that isn't open world and has lower development costs, I hope they would be satisfied with just a monthly spend of ~$15. There really is just too much competition and I'm not gonna drop hundreds on it every month. This isn't 2015. People are more worried about expenses now and will cut discretionary spending for the essentials.
>>2245258i noticed how they mentioned standards and was instantly afraid of mihomo too. i wanna believe that they meant standards for the other spark system related games. they really can't fuck the gacha up or it's nyover.
>>2245257>I hope they can make it so you can at least collect everyone easilygonna be nearly impossible to get everyone as they also mentioned that they want 30 new characters every year. that would be a lot of free gibs to a point where they won't make money and go legs up.
>>2245274They should do it like Stella Sora, it's nice and easy to collect everyone and you can go deep into whaling a character for ranking autism if you want.
>>2245274Then maybe don't do 30 fucking characters?

>>2245280how successful is SS actually to make them take that as example to strive towards?>>2245281i suppose some will be free from events but yeah, it's a lot
>>2245263Nigga you can get literally every character in mihoyo games or in wuwa for that much. 15 bucks is WAY too much for a game of AO quality. Its cool that is has fully voiced story but so does trickcal (in 2 languages) and you can get every character there for free. If you can't get at least 1 copy of every character plus their signature for 5 a month the game is going to bomb hard, the game has 3D models and doesn't even uses them, at least put in some animations for a cool intro or climax of the story if they are going to ask for that much.
>>224528730 characters a year more than 2 per month, my guess is that the free ones are going to be shitty 2 stars but the other 24 are going to be in the gacha. Not even mihoyo games releases that many characters. Game is fucked if they aren't generous
>>2245287>how successful is SS actually to make them take that as example to strive towards?Probably will be more successful than AO if AO doesn't adopt a similar practice, because having to skip C0 A0 characters in this game is going to feel like shit when SS gives you enough pulls to collect, you could say it spoils you really.Also 30+ fucking characters at launch.Giving enough to collect everyone at base level also won't stop whales from spending and maxing everyone, hence the spending ceiling. You treat your F2P and dolphins well through collection and you keep the power level of your whales high so they stay on top just like how they want it.
>>2245291i wonder how they will be able to keep up the 3D modeling for so many
>>2245295guess we will have to wait and see, hopefully they want to be generous and make most of their money from additional copies and skins.
>>2245297Maxing the relationship level thing gives you 2 or 3 copies
>>2245299>3only 2 (and a half technically, the half is only relevant for SRs) at bond 30, in reality you only need to get to bond 25 with SSRsStill that will take a lot of time, probably a month of focusing gifts so it won't be fast either.
>>2245296Translating 2D designs to 3D models is easy, the hard part are the animations. But since the 3D models only appear in battle, they only have to make, what like 7 animations per character? It doesn't sound that taxing
>>2245308Eventually those 3D models will be used on a 3D dorm
>>2245299it's been so long since CBT that i forgot half the stuff
>>2245312You gotta start memorymaxxing, bro.
>>2245309There isn't any evidence of that.>>2245312Don't worry about that, since they can change that for release. It might be that they go full jew and remove that entirely.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egaPGXTqPyQhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1KdKtfsSH0https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwg8CI5DTUwuh cool
>>2245316>It might be that they go full jew and remove that entirely.nyo...
>>2245323It's THAT easy to kill a game before release in this economy. If players get wind of a system that was there to guarantee extra copies of characters "for free" that was removed between beta and release, game is dead in the water. Especially since extra copies is a system to allow powercreeped characters to compete in the future. There have been plenty of games that change rewards between, say the CN version and the JP or EN one, which instantly kills the game, and of course stella sora that changed the gacha and rewards between beta and release, going from a collection type game to a mihoyo one.While its true that BA is more or less dead now, I hope NCsoft are sufficiently aware of current gacha climate to not be jews and instead place the monetization of the game in stuff like skins or other cosmetics. Azur lane or trickcal are collection games (you get every unit for free easily) and the monetization is mostly cosmetic, plus some QoL in AL and extra power from copies in trickcal.
>>2245335Imo it'd be better to be a collection game and build up trust with a playerbase while keeping costs low right now. I don't think a lot of the current and upcoming gacha games can live through any amount of economic downturn. If ncsoft's smart, they use ao as a low budget, reputation boosting IP and ride out the turbulence. Position themselves better for after all this, and fix their frankly awful reputation they got from their MMO practices.
One highlight of the beta content for me is definitely, the Souka bonds, if Isakusan has a favorite it's her. Shunin usually acts like your bog standard gacha mc with the girls, except with her. And i'm not complaining, it's actually hilarious. If the NC intern is reading, please more of this.
>>2245350she is a "cat" and so are we, pretty big attraction bonus over all the other magicians
>>2244780my problem is how much her art style sticks out compared to the rest
>>2245319shunin buying condoms
>>2245350Shunin is racists and bullies brown girls
>>2245362eh? i think mx2j girls stick out moreThe onis just look weird but their style is in line with the other doremi drawn girls
>>2245390nah their unique eyes just stands out too much, meanwhile mx2j girls have shading thats off.
What the FUCK is taking them so long to release the game?

>>2245485I want to lick her feet while cumming in her ass
>>2245577I'm going to kill myself soon if this game get canceled i need her so bad
>>2245580How the fuck could it get cancelled, expensive low quality slop get released all the time and last for years, like stella sora or mongil.This game is infinitely cheaper and higher quality, plus it has devs that have already proven themselves several times. Just don't be a retard and make this game you whole personality, its at most a side game
>>2245588>Just don't be a retard and make this game you whole personalityToo late i already fap to the characters
>>2245588mongrel: shart dive
>large scale clashes between citiesi was wondering what this would be like but i remembered the start of the game was literally kyoto attacking tokyo
>>2245614The Tokyo Expo that was being organized by Ai shortly before Shunin takes over is more or less hinted to be the catalyst of the war.
>>2245614It doesn't really matter, that's all background fluff. In terms of in-game assets, everything is going to use the same assets for backgrounds and such, and everything is going to take place in tokyo. Whether its an organization or group from within the city, or another whole ass city attacking tokyo, in game is going to look the same, its not like the game can handle big set pieces or anything since everything its either a VN style story or 1 on 1 battles.Its the same as that other game that shall no be named lest I summon the schizo from the same devs, in which everything takes place in the same small city and nothing from the background lore was ever explained, even like 5 years later.All that this writers can do is small scale personal stories and slice of life, which is fine. Its all this game can handle, and all that the players should expect.
>>2245624yes, we know that, bro, we already know this is not some open world game.
>>2245588>its at most a side gameDo you mean that in a gacha sense or in a general sense?t. not really interested in other gachas
>>2245631Gacha sense. After you beat the story, which you are probably going to do in manual, you are only ever hit resource stages to farm for materials, and do it in auto. Endgame you are probably going to do in manual unless you are a whale, but that stuff only refreshes like once a month. And new stuff like events and stories only come out every month too. So after beating the story you'll only play 5 minutes a day, like most gacha, you don't have a big world to explore or minigames or other activities that can take like 20 hours to do. Only 5 minutes of auto a day, that's not enough to obsess over. And we already know that these writers take their sweet time releasing new main story chapters.
>>2245633I personally lost interest in the open world meme a long time ago but I see where you're coming from. Though to be fair, we don't exactly know how much content there's going to be when the game comes out just yet. And they did say they want to make regular additions to the game afterwards, whatever that'll mean.
honestly the 30 characters per year is the most concerning thing about the game to me. not even about pulling all them in a gacha sense, just in a story sense with how much you'd have to give a focus to that many characters when they said they want this game to be thought of like a serialized manga
>>2245639The content is the short battles, and the story, so in short the story. And after you've read through all the story, that's it. So maybe 2 weeks of content if you through slowly, or 2 days if you no life it. After that the short bond stories as you unlock them (very slowly), and wait for a month for an event.This is what I mean as a side game. If you look around for other, so called side games, generals, you'll see that they mostly copy paste fanart they find in twitter, there's isn't much to talk about. No need to spend 24/7 in the thread bumping it.

>>2246221Hot take:Shunin isn't (You), he's got a defined face, a define backstory, and a designed personality, even if the guy fucking the "harem" is him it still ain't (You).Not only your childhood crush cucked you, not only you got cucked by life itself.but you get cucked by your imaginary drawing of women as well.
>>2248885all protagonists are me
>>2248885as retarded as saying joker isn't (you)
>>2248914It just occurred to me that if Shunin is from our time and he's in his late 20's or something then he was born in the late 90' - early 2000
>>2248885Doesn't matter, the stand in of the harem protagonist is a thing that comes from decades ago from galge, video games and anime, self inserting is a choice, a lot of people will either see Shunin as his own character others will see him as their self insert, however both of those groups will agree on the same principle, that the girls should be for (Shunin/You), am i wrong?
>>2248885First of all if you can only self insert into a blank slate that’s a you problem. Second shunin is a lower middle aged workaholic with depression, suicidal tendencies, and scruffy hair. He is literally me.

Do we even have a proper list of who did what? I know MX2J did the Akina Club and Rose of Bunkyo. Kobato Mart too I think.
>>2250491we're in good hands, bros
[Notice from the Special District Office PR Department]Character Introduction - Kamikura Tamaki“Mmm... Guess it can’t be helped.Today, Tamaki is officially on personal cheerleader duty for nii-chan.Go, go, nii-chan! You can do it!”Staff Member No. 1 at the dagashi shop New Onigoya.A mountain oni from Niigata, Tamaki is the younger of the Kamikura family's twin sisters, whose family has served the Kitora family for generations. She had no particular complaints about the family business, but between not wanting to leave Shizuku on her own and getting fed up with her relentlessly persistent older sister, she somehow ended up following the two of them to Tokyo.Once there, however, she quickly fell in love with the conveniences of city life and now enjoys living in Tokyo more than either of the other two.She is especially captivated by 24-hour convenience stores, something she never had the chance to experience while living in a remote mountain village.

>>2250570I hate the eyes
SEXO
>>2250588W-what are those expressions trying to convey?
>>2250588These looks horrible
>>2250588>>2250603Evil sexy onis...
Imagine the monstruous grip from their tiny oni holes

>>2250588damn what separate game are these designs from?v
>>2244780>>2250570These two are the closest we got so far to actual Y2K fashion. Thanks Brittney and Christina for inspiring a generation of tweens to go around in crop tops and denim skirts.
>red oni>blue oniclassic>...yellow oni?
>>2250588>two hornsis blue more powerful?
>trickal will launch a chibi porn game to compete with AOwe lost...
someone please delete the whiskers...
>>2250706I like fanservice as much as any other guy, but a good story, good characters and character designs, good art direction, and good music, are far more important to me in a game than just tits and ass.There are a ton of fan service heavy gacha that I've dropped after a few days because the fan service just isn't enough to keep me interested.
>>2250718i don't get why you guys hate it so much, i think they are fine, it gives the trio a unique look amidst so many other oni girls in other media, that's quite important from a design perspective personality i just don't like their clothes but that can be fixed since outfits can be easily changed in this game
>>2250706I hate how they used the chibi artstyle and applied detailed realistic rendering to them, it makes them look so soulless
>>2250725>you guysI am already over it, i like the blue one even
>>2250725>>2250730blue is the best, her whiskers are thin and cute. red's whiskers are too thick and fit more to an anime grandpa.
>>2250735ackshually they are all the same, but only the red one didn't comb her whiskers over her ears like the other two
>>2250738i'm gonna shave hers off so that she can't make that mistake anymore
>>2250491dear god... is this one of the official artists?
>>2250824yep

>>2250908>>2250909
biting shunin cat balls off and swallowing it
>>2250908I don't think the scene was about riria actually sniffing his balls but everyone took it as it is lol
>>2250916He looks like me.
>>2250570Skirt should be like 50% shorterotherwise nice design
>>2250718They only look weird on the red one. On the blue one, they look fine. And on the big sister, you can barely even tell it isn't just highlights.
>>2250718They'll be clauded out with mods
Despite her looks, she seems the gentle sort. Like she'd let you rest on her lap and pet your hair while you fall asleep
>>2251021What happens after you fall asleep is the problem
>>2251025I wouldn't mind...
>>2251029you would mind if your child is an ugly abomination with whiskers

This really does feel like one of those games destined to spend a decade in development hell, sustained by an endless procession of beautiful illustrations and grand promises, until all that remains is the memory of a lovely idea that might have been; and yet the extraordinary thing, the almost absurd miracle of it all, is that it really is being made, that artists and developers from so many different corners of the industry have somehow come together to give flesh and blood to what, in a thousand other circumstances, would have remained nothing more than a collection of pretty pictures and a wistful dream of what a game might look like; for we have grown so accustomed to seeing beautiful things imagined and never accomplished that we have almost forgotten what a wonder it is when imagination actually triumphs over the thousand petty impossibilities of the world, when what ought by every reasonable expectation to have remained a dream stands before us as a living, playable reality, and the astonishing thing is no longer that men could conceive of something so beautiful, but that they should have gone and made it. And then you begin to feel the magic that can only come about from a labor of love, or perhaps Love would be more accurate, for there is something almost divine in the stubborn determination of men to bring into existence a thing which the world neither needed nor demanded, but which they believed ought to exist simply because it would be beautiful; and perhaps that is the strangest and most wonderful thing about beauty, that it is so utterly unnecessary to the business of living and yet so indispensable to the joy of being alive, that men will spend years of their brief and mortal lives making something which need never have existed at all, and in doing so remind us why it is such a splendid thing that anything exists at all.
