Wow anon, thats a cool genshit/wuthering trash clone with 2 skills perf character and a 0.6% gacha rate that won't be out until 2027 and heavily censored by the time it releases
Pre-registered. I have also taken the liberty of following them on X, Taptap Global, and Youtube. If I used those services I'd follow them on Tiktok and Instagram too just for the heck of it.

>There's a male blacksmith in the trailer.
No game is perfect.
Yeah and they added a female MC, which means there won't be oaths or (You) pandering like in AL since chinks hate gay shit so now everything's gonna need to be ambiguous to account for people playing as female MC. And you can bet your ass it won't be getting lewd skins either
Assumptions like this are moronic. I'm not expecting the game to have oaths but Girls Frontline has oaths and you can make the commander male or female.
this
even in a perfect setting like AL these Black folk still show
so something like promilia will end up worse if they dont listen to the feedback based chinks are giving
Probably beta sometime during this summer and full release at the end of year, unless they pull another Wuthering Wave and redo the whole game because of backlash from beta test.
Sounds good. Is there a preferred platform for these type of games? I heard Playstation has a weird currency system for Hoyoverse games and genshin combat sucks on mobile. Any downside to playing these type of games on PC?
These kind of games are always meant to be played on PC. The only downside I can think of is that PC versions tend to have limited, or outright won't allow you to spend money due to payment problems.
I hope they have the sense to release separate clients for CN and overseas like they did with AL, because some of those outfits are definitely going to get censored in the mainland.
you can be male or female. otherwise no not so far
but the fact you can pick means they probably will reveal or add m*les down the line
only games with faceless (male) protags like AL or BA generally get away with all females
I think the choice for player character's gender is there to accommodate for two types of straight male players, the type who wants a self-insert man to have a harem with, and the type who would rather stare at a woman's ass than a man's when playing the game.
But that means there won't be any kindof romance because i doubt they will go the extra mile to give the male mc more lines from the character nor go equal and enable yuri because that's usually a big nono for chinese games, it will be completely neutered
>morons complaining about "muh censorship" >When we get stuff like on the official trailer or things like
Sexo outfit while any other chink game gets censored to shit
Oh and just so you know, the game was already approved by the chinks. These chads actually avoided the CCP censorship and what we are watching on the trailers and gameplay video is what we are getting as the final product. This also means the game will launch before January 2025 so we won't have to wait for 20 closed betas or some moronic bullshit like what the gays at Kuro Games did.
Mihoyo is moronic and releases their games on a single client. Manjuu has the precedent of AL having separate clients for CN, JP, and Global and they know that overseas players stick around because of uncensored fanservice in the JP and Global versions. It would make sense to follow the same direction with AP and give it separate clients to avoid censorship outside China.
Heard people call this genshit clone but besides a few characters the designs look more like older jrpg characters instead of genshin/ww chink designs.
Chinks can make good designs but they either don't sell them or the shitty ones they use on their playable characters make more money because shit taste. >inb4 that looks bad
Implying you have anything better.
here, since you're unable to back your claim, let me do it for you. this came from a title with similar genre. >b-but it's two-di--
they already released a couple of 3d games. >d-doesn't c--
you're gay.
So what? Have you played Genshin or any other gacha with this 'choose your protagonist!' shit? They all end up shipping the characters with each other, not the protagonist, and since this gacha only has girls so far that means the ships will be yuri.
>Writing changes between Male and Female MC >Female MC they just want to be friends with >Male MC, they want to sandwich between their yuri
Would be the ideal case, ngl. Who doesn't want a harem where all the girls are in yuri and want you sandwiched between them and their "besty"?
Anon, don't be delusional. No gacha dev is going to voice twice as much dialogue when they don't have to. You're getting one set of dialogue with both sexes, and it'll be 'friendship' while the girls mack on each other during events.
that will never happen, female mc troons will b***h and moan because the male mc gets preferential treatment not to mention the extra costs for doing voice lines for both genders for each character
>LGBTQ >Yuri
It's a common misconception to have, but the two are not the same. Yuri is not LGBTQ representation, and 3DPD LGBTQ is not Yuri. They are two entirely separate matters, and LGBTQ should not be allowed to coopt Yuri.

It makes so much more sense now. Do they not realize that the entire appeal of yuri is the absence of any males in the relationship?
You can't "sandwich" between yuri because the fanbase will ape out as soon as they see a male in the ship.
"Yuri" in a self-insert game is NTR but instead of a guy cucking you, it's a girl because (you) will never be involved or mentioned.

Which is why yuri has only and WILL only ever work with the tacit understanding that they're just fooling around and waiting for someone manly enough to come and take them. FFS, it's an implicit cultural thing that lesbian relationships are "practice" for heterosexual relationships in East Asia, and only special interest groups try to deny it and force western cuckshit into it.
>Female protag option so all the romantic interactions will be non committal >Only girls gacha so not even normalgays will touch it for looking too "horny" >gameplay directly lifted from genshin
Its dead on arrival
I'm staying on the fence for this one. I know it's from the Azur Lane devs but if you're making your own genshin clone you need normie and underage cash and those audiences don't buy big cleavages or any sort of fanservice.
Wasn't there a way to circumvent that regulation like borrowing a parent/relative's ID or something like that?
It's kind of a fools' errand to try and pry normalgays from Genshit while it's still in its prime. Not to mention they should have learned from Aether Gazer not to stoop to Hoyo and Kuro levels of homosexualry, especially when Arknots:Endfield will most likely cover that anyway
Well I sure hope they learn from other's mistakes and avoid the whole omnipandering bullshit, it would be great if Azur Promilia goes the Snowbreak route and focuses on the one and only audience that really matters.

At least pretend you watched the trailer.
Trailer ends with an upskirt pantyshot. Very AL-like thing to do.
At least we get actual panty shot instead of some lame ass bloomers or spats. Just hope things won't take a dark turn.
even if it's done by Manjuu there's so fricking many red flags on this shit, it's literally just Manjuu's take on their own Genshin combined with Palworld for some reason, leaving aside the cartoony ass pets i fricking hate how most of the girls have a somewhat similar style of face, it's nowehere near as bad as Genshin sure, but frick, this kind of 3D fricking sucks to make certain characters stand out over others, Shalle Ensys, FeMC and the other elf and the nigrette look way too similar, i really dont want another "body_type1-2-3" thing like they do in Genshit, the fricking world also looks uninspired as frick, the big breasts in some of them are nice i guess, but like with Rosaria in 1.2 or what happenned with ZZZ we can only hope that things will stay like that >but that was on Miho-
at the end of the day it's still fricking chinkslop aimed to Genshitters, and it's gonna be on PS too, we can only wonder wether PS and CN will stay cucked and PC-mobile will be free of cuckery or not, and considering how some designs still look "somewhat safe" i dont have any high hopes for this

after that mc thing being the first announcement after the actual reveal i believe youre right
Is this the first time male protag actually looks ever slightly better than female protag? Genshin, star rail, endfield, zzz all have awful male protags compared to female. Not sure if they botched the girl here or spent some actual time on the guy.
The vast majority are redditor like too, naive and actually think or have hopes that it will translate the good things of azur lane onto it
The "Ganker" chinks are saying the same we are saying, incorrect formula for trying to get an audience.
yeah mihoyo are like the chink blizzard, everything they do has to be safe
the thing im worried the most is platforms, of every single official source i checkec i didnt see a single pozzstation logo
if its pc/mobile i have hopes but if the abomination of a platform is involved then the scope of the game will be butchered for sure
Hell I remember when you could molest the shit out of the girls in Hi3, they literally had separate lines for tapping on their pussy or boobs. Shame they stopped all they.
There's zero indication this game is going to include the things that gave Manjuu its good reputation. Namely, the sexy girls, universal for (You) pandering, and generous gacha. So far this game seems to have mediocre, Genshin look-alike girls, zero for (You), and zero indication of a skin-based monetization system (which is what allowed AL to be generous.) There's just nothing good.
>barely any traction on other socials
I think its safe to say everyone got turned off by: the genshin combat and the outsiders got turned off by the "from the devs of coomer lane"
Even it sharing 'Azur' feels insulting

AL is 7 years old at this point, it’s hard for me to imagine anyone into these kinds games hasn’t heard about it. That’s assuming the audience that is brought in even likes AL as it is.

I think it showed more than enough
Only time will tell how they will take criticisms, so far chinks are very lenient and unaware of the implications and die hard azur lane fans that were expecting a sequel or a 3d spinoff are probably questioning their loyalty for manjuu
Mihoyo brainrot people, now anything that don't create the same amount of shitposting or clickbait videos as their announcements are considered to be a failure.
Uh yeah? These games are not exactly cheap to dev out so you need somewhat decent numbers to break even, it might be too early for AP but considering the glaring redflags no wonder people are angry/dissapointed or indifferent
There has been zero marketing for the EN audience. The fact a lot of people know about it it's pretty crazy. But anyway, we are probably getting a beta either on April or May.

I don't think Yostar (Yongshi) has the capability to port the game to PC and PS5 without problems. Aether Gazer hasn't gotten PC port yet even though it needs that more.

first game im genuinely excited for in a long time ngl. i think AP + GF2 will be the new GI + HSR for me. I just hope for Taihouesque girl and for devs to not pussy out completely on fanservice. imagine the possibility of a high quality ecchi pokemon genshin anime harem game. the characters that stick out to me rn are the ara ara white fox milf and the red haired oppai e-girl tomboy
Omni pandering involves shipshit which is going to piss off people. You cannot actually make everyone happy. If your game has shipshit, people will be upset those characters aren't for them. It doesn't matter if you have a default waifu because not everyone will like her, and will prefer one of the other girls who may not be for them. See GBF and Genshin.
>See GBF or Genshin
Or FGO for that matter. Most people didn't care about Mash, not even during LB6 (didn't help that there was, like, five or six other girls to fawn over during that chapter)
If Promilia goes full (You) Pandering:
it will have an edge over the other harem games by being the only harem game with "genshin level" production and not being a menu simulator
If Promilia goes full omni pandering:
it not only will have to compete with genshin on appeal, steady content production and "normalgay" marketing but gameplay as well and it being derivative off Genshin will give it a big disadvantage.
(You) Pandering seems like the best outcome here by a lot, harem game players don't give a shit about gameplay or production most of the time.

The thing about this is... If (You) pandering doesn't take much to make the players happy then why did they spend so many resources on crafting a 3D open world game when they could have just made some lower effort Azur Lane 2 with barebones gameplay but all the girls slobber over (You) and call it a day? They probably wouldn't make as much money but overhead costs and expenses would be drastically lower as well, increasing profit margins overall. I can only imagine they're trying to reach a bigger paying audience with this game unless they are based and don't give a frick if they're making less money by pandering to (You) coomers
That one is cursed by literally 0 marketing push and samey, repetitive content during each patch. does deliver on (you) pandering side though

This guy is having a melty in real time >I like this style so much. If the finished product will only be better than this demo, I will play as the main game. >Previously, when I played the so-called "normie" game from a certain dev, I was the type of player who only roll for female characters, but I was too scared to spend money for fear that there would be more and more males and uglier females char, and the sunk cost of abandoning the game would be very high, so I basically just bought a small monthly pass and played casually.

Some people have grabbed the ability to cast a female lead and spouted off that it's the anti-males that isn't complete. I think Manjuu should have an understanding of what their basic base is like, and not dig their own graves to make a yuri game out of it. So, if you can choose a female protagonist and it's not a yuri game, you can at least conclude that there is no "oath" between the protagonist and the female characters like Azur Lane. >That is, it doesn't fit the current narrow definition of master love (pandering).
But don't worry, it is possible to have a deep non-love bond with the characters, which is what I mean by the protagonist can't just be a camera(POV), and I think it still meets the broader definition of pandering, after all, your inspiration is fgo.
>To the yurigays that I also have a deep hatred of, they usually hide in the corner of the fandom and two sides would butt heads often, as they will often express their views on the role, this and, that chars are OOC, which will inevitably touch the interests of the waifu players. >I think as long as the official game has the right ratio, know where the red line is, and have the atmosphere that allows players to shout out "so-and-so character is my wife", the main character can choose a female character is also not a bad idea. >---- update again ---- >Alas, the Manjuu I support until now, including the male characters will be a repeat of that game that made the old mistake of shafting the female characters This kind of game is not going to be bought by men, so we'll have to wait for the next game. To be honest I'd rather make peace with the yurigays than see this happen. At least the material released by manjuu so far shows no signs that there will be a male character, and I really hope you'll stick to that line. At the very least I'd be willing to stop playing AL than using my money to fund this game.
Very rough translation of this dude meltdown
Man, anyone outside looking at this would consider this a full on schizo ramble, but I get him in a way
Delete the female MC, import the affection and oath system from AL, ensure all the girls are for (You).
Might as well go all in pandering to the male audience as genshin "female" players are making known that they will not play due to the lack of playable males.
Competing with Genshin and HSR is stupid, you’re not getting those entrenched players to quit their game to come to this one. The players are loyal to Hoyoverse.
Keep in mind Manjuu doesn’t have the income to compete with them yet. This also takes into account Genshins lucky release to catch normalgays during COVID.
Honestly I think the designs are pretty good. I have biologically female friends who looked at the trailer and thought the characters were really cute, especially the potatoes. Even outside of potatoes they really like the pals or whatever and the regular girl designs are nice too. The designs aren't overly horny so they don't instantly turn away women while not also putting them all in hijabs either.
AL fanbase isn't their primary target audience. AL players will just keep playing AL. They already know you won't quit the game if you've already been playing for years. At worst you will stop spending as much money temporarily in protest but how long can you go without spending on a new skin for your waifus or when you stop having enough israeliteels for more oath rings? They already have you locked to the game and don't really need you spending elsewhere. Just focus on keeping AL alive while Manjuu expands outwards to new audiences
That depends. If AL constantly gets less and less you think those players will stick around when they saw their money being used for things not related to them?
I would absolutely play an hypothetical AL 2 if it directly improved in the formula
It will also attract new players that were initially put off by the previous game's weaknesses and recover players that fell out

If they go that way then I just won't play it, don't wanna get into another Genshin flavored game. I want a game a 100% for men with very coom designs.
How long before phones will become as powerful as a 4090 GPU? I'm tired of all this effort put into mobile games only to be held back by shitty phone hardware. I wish we got the equivalent of mobile games but made for high powered PCs.
I'm fine with simplified game design meant to run on phones, I just think that with how much money gachashit makes they can definitely make shit that exceeds whatever slop AAA games put out these days but unfortunately that will never happen because they're held back by phones and common sense because why the frick would they want to work so hard to put out a great product when mobile audiences will slurp whatever half baked shit gets put out
Wouldn't it stand to reason that the people who have $2k GPUs are more likely to whale and if you make a game they really like they will spend lots of money on it?
guys, im sure many of you come from AL and so you have a bit of a warped perception. i can tell you right now that the most important thing is that the game just have only girls in it, and the sex of the mc matters very little. if the girls are good, and new ones are released at a decent enough cadence, men will come play it. it is literally that shrimple
anything beyond this like, no we cant have a female mc, or what about the shipgays, is all just nonsense in your mind. even if you have no mc at all, girls can be shipped together merely by being in the same ip, let alone the same specific game. so you should be able to see that your desires have been warped by what you think you want, and want to avoid, based on the things people simply type and post on the internet somewhere. but they dont actually matter. what you really want, is the game to give you plenty of girls you want to frick, and ideally, they get plenty of fanart as well. literally nothing else matters, and the fact that some people out there are doing things you dont like do not affect you. your favorite artist leaving, and the next day another one popping up that does something you hate, does not mean that the latter "came in and ruined your ip and made your favorite artist quit". its merely a coincidence
While this is true and while the all female cast is repelling the genshin crowd so to speak, I personally don't see the point of a female MC option in a bishoujo game targeted to men, gender options in these games are largely a pointless illusion of false choice that only thing it achieves is that the protag is written from a neutral prospective or worse is written like a woman like FE: Engage's MC you can't fault people who want to play a harem game with a protagonist that is written like a boy/man instead of a girl/them.
i agree. though i would add that i play female mcs a lot of the time. not because of any of the usual reasons though, just because i would rather stare at a girls ass than a guys ass while playing all day. having the mc being one or the other doesnt help me insert, or rather, the way i sexualize or visualize myself with girls, lol whatever that means, has nothing to do with the mc. but ofc, i can understand this is not for everyone. its merely a benefit of being me, as i am less... triggerable. the girl i am playing as is not a threat to my sexual prowess toward the cast. do not NEED to look through the eyes of the mc.
still, all that said, it does not really bother me either way. i merely try to argue that the nooooticeoors are definitely seeing things in their mind that arent real, and even if they are, they dont matter as much as anyone thinks. al just needs to give us pretty girls, and we will be happy. if they do not, then regardless of whatever anyone else THINKS is killing the game, is likely just a diversion or illusion. misattribution of cause is very common among our species.
but again, i agree. im not here to say that everyone has to enjoy the game the same way, or that people arent allowed to want their mc be a certain gender so they personally can insert more easily. however, having both genders in the game as mc does not prohibit this. instead, it is a delusion of grandeur that makes them THINK there should only be one gender playable as mc. and, cmon, that is silly. it does not affect anyone
NTA and I completely agree. I tend to see the MC in these games as a completely different character rather than as a self insert so I prefer female MCs because male MCs might as well be the same as rolling for and playing a homo. I can understand self inserting in games that have faceless protagonists that are off screen 99% of the time but it just doesn't work in 3D games like this where the protagonist is a playable character themselves rather than some kind of leader who just gives orders but doesn't participate in combat otherwise
It literally doesn't work. That's why self-insert characters are good. People mindbroken by the possiblity of other people than them being able to play as a female is hilarious tho.
most guys that would play the female mc in something like genshin for example, are doing that so they dont have to stare at a dudes ass all day. theyre not thinking about how to insert. a lot of males, myself included, dont even consider "how theyre going to insert." i dont insert through anything, i just think about the girl and how id interact with her. putting myself through another character like the mc just seems limiting
but im not here to say youre not allowed to have that, or argue that that way is inferior or crazy or anything like that... im just saying that its silly to think that an inserter is prohibited in any way by people having the choice of sex of their mc
>im just saying that its silly to think that an inserter is prohibited in any way by people having the choice of sex of their mc
the issue is when they offer both a male and female mc the dialogue is neutered and sanitized as a result
self-inserts and harem bros want that fantasy with the all female cast
the all female cast is aimed at a male audience in the first place, no playable m*les isnt going to bring the genshin crowd
they're shooting themselves in the ass trying to cater to an audience that won't entertain them and alienating the one they've cultivated
honestly, that sounds to me more like they just want it to be neutered and sanitized in the first place. nothing is stopping a company from having slightly different dialogues for he and him, she and her. so if youve already decided that you want your game to be for 12+, youre gonna let them be male or female, because the dialogue is going to be sanitized.
but, yes. at this point in my life, believe me, slippery slope isnt even a fallacy in my mind. i understand things only get worse. and the one problem with genshin being so successful as the first game to finally force the market to respond to having a higher quality gacha game, is that it panders to women more. and since humans are incredibly simple, investors will just ask for more of that instead of telling their companies, like manjuu here, to try something new. meaning someone is going to have to break the mold to prove that its even more profitable (female only cast pandering to males, ofc)
i personally wished that endfield was going to be females only, but i was unsurprisingly unhappy at the outcome
uh oh something is really going down right now
the only reason this sucks is because were just not gonna get another game that we want. not because you were "lied to". you didnt put any money in this game, and it doesnt cost money to buy. so its silly to put any stock in something before it comes out. if you did put stock into it, all just so that you could get angry when this happened... why not just not do it?
I really don’t give a shit what happens to this game as long as AL isn’t fricked up more.

Except that it costs more money, especially when voiced.
oh im not saying its flick a switch easy, but seeing as the amount of hours and money being put in already, its a pretty small addition. it just takes a competent producer to foresee the whole thing so that it all gets implemented in a rational, cost effective way from the beginning. thats the important part. when people frick up, and suddenly you have to go back, make changes to the timings of the dialogue in game, bring voice actors back out to do seemingly tiny little lines, then youre talking way more money that a company doesnt really want to do. but if you do it from the beginning because you know it makes sense, its very easy to incorporate because the game is still being made and not set in stone

At least we have a reason for the female MC now. Why the hell do they think pull off the failed bait and switch they tried with Aether Gazer? It's comical how fast the chinks caught this compared to last time.

Thanks to GFL2 drama im sure
Alright. I want them to focus more on the playable girls than I want them worrying about (Me). Make the FemPC a unit and make me Bell Cranel I guess and it's whatever.
That'd be great. It would take such (relatively) small changes to things they've already got the major foundation work laid for to make the game perfect. Or rather to make it a smash hit and another cult classic undying juggernaut like AL. The players in China instantly raised their ratings when Manjuu clarified some details and if they follow through on the FemPC we're golden. There's riches in niches.
Am I the only man who plays these games who doesn't mind bro characters
Have none of you had male friends before
I swear some of you hate other men more than how women hate other women. Very woman-like behavior if you ask me
You're not, and I don't really care if they have playable males or whatever in this game. If they want to expand and appeal to a different crowd then cool. But it does sting to think about how little work has been done to improve AL as a game over the years, and I hope this game's existence doesn't mean Manjuu is abandoning AL.
how wouldn't AL players feel insulted right now? AL has kept itself almost fosilized for the longest time without some overhauls or expansions because they were making a genshin clone, yet AL players gave manjuu their money in good will only to get a product is not really aimed at them?
Companies can and will make games for different target demographics, it's what happens when they expand. Blue Archive doesn't target the same audience as Maple Story but they're both by Nexon. The problem is when they completely neglect one demographic for another, which doesn't HAVE to happen (Metroid's existence doesn't deny new Mario content for instance) but it definitely feels like it's happening with Manjuu.
This.
It isn't that Manjuu made a game that doesn't directly target the AL fanbase. It's that it feels like AL is limping along and then they unveil this. We recently got the TB princess maker and don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it. I am talking about big gameplay updates or overhauls. It was Operation Siren and that was released at the end of 2020.
if anything, its a testament to AL's success. We aren't monetized like normal gacha's.
Nexon is a literal billion dollar corporation with 2 decades of scams, nobody was expecting anything from blue archive when it released exactly because it was nexon and it was hated
Azur Lane in comparison was maintained by a company that only started with Azur Lane and for 7 years it went through doing its own thing and a lot of players didn't complain because it was chill and very f2p friendly, but also very neglected in its gameplay and character content, so AL players were now icing on a sequel or update that could address the weakenesses of the game and what was actually delivered? A game literally nobody asked for much less AL fans.
You're not, and I don't really care if they have playable males or whatever in this game. If they want to expand and appeal to a different crowd then cool. But it does sting to think about how little work has been done to improve AL as a game over the years, and I hope this game's existence doesn't mean Manjuu is abandoning AL.
Yongshi are the ones that work on the technical side of AL, not Manjuu. From what I remember at least.
sensei... questions should end in a question mark. as for wappi, i dont know... you know i dont think about hags very often. honestly... i didnt know if shes even out or not already
>Honestly, I can understand you wanting to expand your audience in the general direction, and I can understand wanting the support of the Beyblade Circle players, but if you want to do the general direction and touch the Beyblade characters, have you ever thought about what the Beyblade players think? Do you know what I think of when I see a character in PV? When I see Nuno I think of Rafi, when I see Telara I think of Naka, when I see Kotenshiro Shinnojo Flam, I think I'm going to start a new journey with my shipgirls in a different world, and my expectations for the game have already been raised to a male oriented one or even a harem oriented one, and now you're telling me you want to make it a general oriented one? Meaning that I spend time hanging secretary ship out of the oath until practiced to the full good feeling of the character to the other world can because of the text of a sentence and other men and other men have feelings and even become CP, this is not to the blue line players betrayal is what? I do not ask for much, you really want to do general to you to touch porcelain Beyblue line of the role of all deleted, belonging to my Beyblue line of moving back to me!
wow chinese fans are vocal right now on the bilibili comments
I'd bet the global public reception will be something like, >chinks are whiny just release it on global we'll suck your wiener harder than them! >i-i don't mind them neutering the romance options...platonic is fine too >this is le high production game of course they need a wider audience!
Which totally outed their tourist status lmao.
Next someone will tell me, >then why snowbreak isn't successful as a WAIFU game?
Alright, let me list a few; >dogshit optimization and is fricking janky on mobile >use of stock shading method in a game that supposed to look anime-ish >change of overall direction late in the game >bad voice acting direction. even azur lane can control the direction of their amateur VAs >stiff animations where people expected nikke but in 3d >no "special" interactions for base models(their previous game let you flip their skirt)
And those are put before anything related to monetization and stories. >noo you're just a coombrain incel
Yeah, and you're gay.
Snowbreak revenue doubled after they went full waifu though. It's unironically making more than shit like Girl's Frontline 2 now. If anything it's a success story.
That was around gfl2 mass exodus isn't it? I barely see any returning player at that time.
And now they're trying their best to contain(heh) that crowd and even throwing jabs at mica which to me, that looks pitiful.
>This game at least in the beginning is ready to do mixed toilets, there have been people released the official picture background in the background of the male character's setup picture, congratulations to you yellow chicken, become another two squid, by the way, regret why I play the game one after another screwed up.
PV fraud, Maine North two tour, obviously mixed toilet PV only dare to put female characters, and even characters group CP, but also take the Beyblue Route skinning to engage. Why don't you go to heaven? tui~
Mixed toilets is what they call to lgbt stuff lol
in 2 months from now when the dust has settled, and newbies come to ask what the frick happened, we will take solace in the fact that we can simply post "BEYBLADES!!! LETTEM RIP, LETTEM RIP RIP!!!!" as a proper explanation. beyblades killed promilia
>I hope to give out internal packs to Beyblue level 127 and above commanders. Oh yeah by the way to add, male/female choice can set the female lead to be the male lead's wife, wouldn't that make everyone happy? Let's wait for you to correct it
>Isn't it just male V beats and a piece of furniture this time? What's wrong with that?Why don't we add a lesbian next time? A few times a shipgirl will have a life of her own.
They are reviewbombing AL in tandem lol
You need to understand that the kind of waifugays that hate the mention of any other man existing in the world are deeply emasculated gooncels
Even in a fictional anime world their self esteem and opinion of themselves is so low they cannot imagine themselves being able to be superior to any other male and so they automatically assume that if given a choice their waifus would 100% leave them for another man
As incels they also have a deep seated hatred of women and as such cannot trust women to do anything right which is why the mere existence of another man in a waifu game is enough to make them seethe because they automatically assume their waifus will cheat on them with said man
Tldr waifugays are more deranged than even idolgays
At least idolgays trust their oshis to not be fricking backstage
Waifugays cannot operate if there is any possibility of the world not revolving around them
>You need to understand that the kind of waifugays that hate the mention of any other man existing in the world are deeply emasculated gooncels
Or you know, maybe they just want what they're familiar with. What they like (harem fantasy). What they came into with Manjuu in the first place. No one likes a rug pull. But I dunno I didn't read your verbal diarrhea beyond that.
This. Dad's based. No one minds males in the story or in the world. The fact that he tries to frame it like we want a world of only women is reductio ad absurdum. Maybe he's projecting or being intentionally obtuse. Maybe he's stupid.

That's what happened in Genshin and GFL2.
bro... divorce rates are above 50%, and 70-80% initiated by the woman. thats not just a man being emasculated or not, thats women doing what women do. theres a reason humans are programmed to be jealous, "overbearing", skeptical, etc
Yeah those are real women aka prostitutes
There is (or should be) a difference between 3dpd and anime waifus
You have to be really broken to think even your anime waifus would cheat on you if it isn't explicitly mentioned by the devs themselves like in GFL2s case

I dont think you understand what he meant, I don't think anyone will understand what he meant.
making fun or do you fancy yourself a philosopher?
it is pretty funny seeing the fanbase betrayal of het men losing their shit with the bait and switch in the pv, just like how yuritrannies lost their shit at blue reflection self-insert
still not gonna play this game tho
Kinda crazy how YZ constantly finds himself the epicenter of a major controversy in the gachasphere in China. Like almost everything happening now can be traced back to Mica, it's unreal.
Isnt Snowbreak that game where they had to retcon 2 girls being normal friends
Yeah, I play Snowbreak and they've really turned the game into a full blown for (you) waifu game now, with the coom skins to match. Every developer is treading carefully after the GFL2 debacle and more recently, the HSR shit.
it's not really yuri if they are willing to include a male
said. I don't think I've ever seen a game implement that in a satisfying way, ever.
Anyone who's actually had the misfortune of interacting with actual yurigays knows they're vehemently against depiction of ANY males in the ship. They've sent death threats to an Genshin yuri artist for drawing a straight ship and made them take down the drawing.
GFL2's Raymond shit is the last straw for straight male gacha players in China. Either Manjuu course-corrected like Snowbreak or AP is DOA.
The truth is either someone must be killed by a schizo or a company must go bankrupted to course correct the omnipandering direction chink gacha is taking.
There is no other choice. Either blood must be shed or hundreds must go unemployed for these devs to realize who their masters are.
If nothing else, the CCP might be less willing to intervene this time-might even look the other way. They probably still kick themselves in the back over letting Dawei live
Curious to see what Manjuu does, we'll for sure see more info about it during the AL CN anni stream in May. I would be surprised if they waited that long to say anything though.
Are we really using comments from Bilibili as a source of how this game is DOA? I would like to invite you to read the launch comments for Genshin and Star Rail. The chinks were really salty Mihoyo made a new game that had males and were abandoning Honkai Impact 3 (a female only game).
mihoyo is massive, literally too big to fail this game was funded by a niche playerbase for a small company in relation to the market, there's no mass interest on this yet or will be at this pace
Back when Genshin launched they were ready to sell the company and become a public entity. They weren't massive at all. I can assure you that if you do a tiny bit of research and read the comments on Bilibili of when Genshin was about to launch you'd find way worse shit than whatever is being spammed here.
lets be honest, genshin impact was too far from a botw ripoff as people claimed and multiple factors made it massively successful at the time, AP has none of these plus is a genshin carbon copy
Hi3 and AL communities are pretty much 1 to 1. No playable male characters, the characters are all for (You) in all the non-story interactions. Hi3 had the same touching system were you could molest all the female characters. The main character is (You) and you are a guy who commands all the females in the game.
No, not even close. HI3's community has always been yurigays and the events where (You) exist are non-canon. ALL their social media presence reflects this, even the doujins or fan art.
Lol, you are being confused with how the community is now. I'm talking about who the playerbase wass and currently is in china. Western gays don't count. You are talking about the community that wanted to kill the CEO because they made their wives "impure" and "prostitutes" for making them dance for (You) wearing bunny girl outfits.
If anything, the subreddit of Azur Lane seems pretty excited for the game and so does the people making comments on YT. So how come the only ones having a melty are the chinks on Bilibili? It's literally a 1 to 1 to the Hi3 community.
No. Even Mihoyo itself can't stop with their shitty yuribaiting. This is most likely why Kiana never took off as a popular character. >subreddit

Aether Gazer is just a lot of questionable decisions.
No PC client (supposedly in the works but how long has it been since the game came out?), no simultaneous global release, and even the genre they picked.
I don't think the game differentiates itself enough from Honkai and PGR to stand out and do well.
We've yet to see how a competent Genshin clone can do (ToF doesn't count) so it will be interesting to see how this one pans out.
>the characters are all for (You) in all the non-story interactions
Depending on the character they are for (you) in story too, we just got an event last year where one of the girls tells you she loves you in poetic Nip (AL) >The main character is (You) and you are a guy who commands all the females in the game.
This only applies to Capverse in HI3.
>the characters are all for (You) in all the non-story interactions
All of the girls are for (You) in the AL story too, any time you're around or come up in a conversation the girls more or less start openly ovulating.
Those salty Bilibili comments were also in the Girl Frontline 2 page and we all saw how well that game did. Fact is Genshin did good because it was an open world 3D game that came out at the perfect time where people were locked down. People who don't mind Mihoyo's omnipandering just play Genshin now, most of them aren't going to drop it to play Azur Promilia, so trying to pander to that audience is not likely to do well.
Well normally I wouldn’t care but CN players can do A LOT of damage so their reactions and chimpouts can’t be ignored if it leads to AL getting genuinely killed too soon
Pretty much what he said. I tried Genshin and the gameplay loop just never appealed to me. Sure I liked maybe 3 or so characters, but what is really the point of trying to talk about them when like 80% of the community just wants to talk about ships or inject their headcanon into any actual discussion about the game.
>ML (male lead? Not as tall as the female lead I assume) - 5 stars
reminds me of the shit in HSR where people complained that Stelle's lance was bigger than Caelus'.
It's a possibility, but it's good that there's pushback this early. They need to get rid of the FeMC anyway and make the dude not look like a homosexual, hopefully with customization (tho I can accept a Goblin Slayer faceless badass).

when blue archive goes to shit because you decided to put your trust on >nexon your opinion won't matter either
who i have my trust in wont make ba do anything different... what does this statement even mean? actually think about what youre saying

Try saying that to Black folk who have to rewrite the entirety of WuWa. Chinks are incredibly sensitive

What happened with WuWa? All I remember was some hot black-haired chick was changed to have red hair at some point and that was disappointing.
it could
if they fix the issues it'll also shoot right back up to the top
as bad as everyones shitting on it they still give it the benefit of the doubt
GF2 is 5.5, have in mind that chinks are absolutely brutal in their scores and AL is one of the highest in score at 8.7 (right now), BA is 7.7 even, that's how much good will chinks had on Manjuu, AP can go as low as 5 something if manjuu doesn't speak up

because Manjuu has 7 years of good will behind them
>from 9.2 to this in less than a day
not sure if testing the waters or just moronic, what did they really expect? they cant just always claim they had a asiatic feminazi trying to do a 9/11 in the team

yeah thats the thing, al has( used to? didnt check the current one) highest user scrope in bilibili which is the only relevant one
I wouldn't have played this if they didn't show the dual sword wielding black twin tails pointy ears chick
She is pure sex and I will play and whale on this game for her alone
this one? i dont think i saw anyone with black hair and twintails, this one is dark blue and has little pigtails which i wouldnt call twintails
also im 99% sure this one has a weak backdoor
oh the pitbawd
also looking at yours im pretty sure there are two sets of models: the real ingame ones and the ebin trailer ones(pic related)
i downloaded both in og quality so im gonna check again just in case
Why do chink devs insist on learning the lesson the hard way and having to have their hands forced to actually deliver a product their fans want? Is it that hard to understand what your fanbase is after running a waifu game for 7 years?
pretty sure it was a gambit manjuu was willing to take, a very moronic one considering their fame and what people wanted from them, we will see how they address it
You know.
They could fix the MC problem by making MaleMC the canon and the one who handles the conversations aka Paimon while the FemMC does the hard work and the one who can be controlled aka Lumine.
If you select the guy it's the girl the one who does the talking, if you select the girl it's the guy the one who does the talking. That's how MCs work there.
take into consideration that very few people are actually complaining about it being a genshin clone, they just want an harem game and have raymond ptsd
not sure how a genshin like true harem game would perform but alas, i'm going to sleep
ofc it would be successful, and theyd be moronic to not "stand out" in such a stupidly obvious way right now. do it before someone else does and take the male audience
Waifu game players don't care, that's why AL still pulls millions per month 7 years later, it would undoubtedly be something "new" and if they don't make the gameplay loop moronic it could be the chillest waifuge ever.
They are releasing this game to a saturated market. You need things to stand out from the others to garner the audience. If you don't why would they leave their game to play yours?
Snowbreak really has the opportunity of a life time right now to capture all these refugees. It's too bad they're too much of an amateur studio and have no budget.
Boy, imagine losing to a GFL clone that didn't even have famous devs or the backing of a major company, unlike the ones that kept eating GFL's lunch (though it might be stretch to call them GFL clones, the ones I'm thinking of)
Manjuu has a track record of quickly falling back at an angry chinese mob so i could see them transforming the female mc into a npc or free character at the very least. We will see.
I'm 2 months into the game and I think their heart is in the right place but you can clearly see the effects of not having a major company back them. They have one of the best dorm systems I've ever seen in any gachas with a lot of potential to expand.
They've got the blueprint to be a great waifu game but lacks the depth to retain the players to keep coming back.
Snowbreak crippled itself with the horrible mix between TPS and HI3 gameplay. You can tell they are struggling to design skill sets and mechanics for new characters because of the limited options they have when it comes to character fighting styles.
There's @AzurPromilia_JP (TW, EN, KR) handles created last year, these are the same handle yostar uses, idk if the one you found is legit or just held by another person.
i was lurking kasugoddess account since terara(the redhead) looks designed by her, she didnt retweet but only liked this post
https://twitter.com/denfaminicogame/status/1770384781773279294
https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/news/240320n
and i found good info that was mentioned in the 15min video >According to the summary of the video posted on the overseas video sharing site "bilibili," it was announced that the game's music will be composed by Kawai Kenji, known for " Mobile Police Patlabor " and others, and Nishiki Yasutomo, known for "Octopath Traveler. "
i didnt play octopath but yeah he was also part of the cygays team for the music part so at the very least that part is in good hands
and yeah bisoku is the only canon anime
Are morons already seething because this is not just another generic "self-insert MC (you)" pandering game?
There's countless of games for you already if you want this, just play those.
It's Manjuu's new game and the shitposters of Ganker, their collective axe wounds almost tingle for the sake of the bote game that constantly buck breaks them. They came from all corners. Or that's just the rot setting in. Either/or.
More like the chinks found out it has a female MC and males in the gacha so they're pissed, unless you think 'Ganker shitposters' have something to do with
If they released a competent 3d sequel for azur lane to keep themselves more fresh and THEN pivoted to the genshin gambit there would be zero controversy right now, they had the resources all this time.
That's what I mean. This looks to be a 100% Manjuu thing. If that is the case, why can't Manjuu get devs to work on AL and kick Yongshi out. Maybe we'd actually get game updates.
We don't know the dynamic between the two for azur lane really. We never heard from Yongshi for something related to Azur Lane, they might partly be holders of the IP as well, who knows.
I cannot read chinese do you have a translation or a explanation for this? The only thing i can figure it out from this picture is that is a bunch of male characters in the concept art and poster

If this is true than this shit is GFL2 times a hundred lmao.
since chinks are discussing it here and other threads as speculation https://tieba.baidu.com/p/8946540518
It's funny how fast Manjuu bent the knee and had to go on stream to confirm that there would be now shipshit in Aether Gazer after the backlash. And that was just backlash due to the announcement of male characters this bullshit however lmao.
Aether Gazer they shilled the game as waifu game only to reveal that they are adding males 5 or so months later after the pre regs got rolling, chinks got mad and the devs had to confirm that the dudes keep to themselves and that they wont ship them with the girls.
Curious question. I play AL from time to time. It's very much something you just "play" to look at skins. Why do chinks even bother with it? Isn't it censored for them? Outside the sexy skins, the game has nothing
>full coom >still have males in gacha
What for? Like who are you trying to pander at this point? It's like Brown dust 2 case where the game is almost looks like a porn game, but no one wants to touch since it has males there and females players sure don't want female character to be oversexualized so they are not touching this kind of game either.

They won't be able to steal shit if they just repeat the same thing others already did. they will have to go further by having the males wearing speedo as their default outfit.

I predict it's at least GFL2 level if not more. Manjuu is big in chinkland so I expect quite a pushback within the upcoming weeks.
I'm not into men so I will pass. I just prefer it when the girls in these games have actual chemistry with (You). The idea of them just loving you because you're the only male around makes everything feel like it's extraordinarily fake and everything is done out of pity, which seems opposite to what I'd expect waifugays who are looking for "pure" love to want. Even in galge visual novels for instance there are wrong answers and flags and stuff that will sabotage your relationship with a girl and in a way you will still need to earn their love. In these other games where everyone just loves (You) by default it never feels like you really earn any real affection from the girls outside of very few cases.
You have to raise affection on girls to get their l2d though
And the way you primarily raise affection in these games is by giving them gifts until they feel like talking to you in which you choose from some scripted lines that will always end with them liking you further after the interaction.

Yeah but the point is that you are never "punished" in any way for interacting with any of the girls in the game. Anything you do results in a positive. You are rewarded for merely existing. I mean ultimately it makes sense because it's gacha so they want your money and no one is going to roll for a girl who can hate your guts because you disgusted her enough to reduce her affection to -100 but I still think it's extremely boring that there's no other social dynamics other than girls fall for (You) so easily. The way I see it is like picking up a 3D druggie hooker who just wants any man who works half a McDonalds shift per week so they can afford a cardboard box in a backlot to sleep in. There's no effort to it and for that my interest just isn't there either.

If I want drama or about making mistakes, male players would be more interested when that involves the politics, the state of the world or life or death of the characters. Why the frick would I want relationship drama about the waifu chars hating the protagonist and acting like some 3DPD?

I love how they look like scenes instead of girls just standing around or posing
Rather than yuri, Blue Archive has an ALARMING amount of futa fanart. When you mention this to them they ignore it and sweep it under the rug. Very peculiar.
It's kind of true.
People hate Nikke because of the existence of Pilgrims' original SKK and there was nonstop cuck doomposting about how they are dedicating anniversary events to showcase the past where the strongest Nikkes in the game are all devoted to someone other than (You)
I don't get Priconne though since even if that game has NPC males all of the girls and Yuki are still for (You).
Gacha companies have to rediscover that ancient knowledge every time.
investors. they demand the company just do what the other (company in category theyre attempting to compete in) do mostly but with extra "features." so, adding pokemon is the new feature, but everything else must be the same because OBVIOUSLY thats the only reason its profitable
They need to get the pandering right before people would even look at the game. It's the premise that draws people in, not the gameplay.
The gameplay gives them a reason to keep coming back and is always secondary to the pandering. It can't overstay its welcome, otherwise you'd just play a normal game.
The problem with normie pandering is that they are directly competing against genshit. If they can't release the game with 7 regions at launch and a new subregion every two patches then they shouldn't bother.
dont forget that furryhomos were snitching al about the botes being too female, >we had a grim era where botes were covered from head to toes
do you really want to share oxygen with these creatures?
>this shitpost again
Yeah yeah I'm supposed to believe a small group reporting content that wasn't hidden that caused manjuu to start censoring themselves as if they weren't already doing that years before arknights even existed

So this game will reach the drama proportions of GFL2 or will be like Snowbreak where they go back and listen to the players before any big drama?
My apologize, wrong quote
I predict it's at least GFL2 level if not more. Manjuu is big in chinkland so I expect quite a pushback within the upcoming weeks.
Maybe it's Playstation's fault?
Snowbreak, Nikke, GFL2: has PC but no console version, no playable males
Genshin, WW, Promilia: advertised with Playstation at launch, have playable males
i just saw the spritual successor of dream c club launching for switch/pc uncencored so yes, more or less what i feared here
yeah mihoyo are like the chink blizzard, everything they do has to be safe
the thing im worried the most is platforms, of every single official source i checkec i didnt see a single pozzstation logo
if its pc/mobile i have hopes but if the abomination of a platform is involved then the scope of the game will be butchered for sure
This guy is having a melty in real time >I like this style so much. If the finished product will only be better than this demo, I will play as the main game. >Previously, when I played the so-called "normie" game from a certain dev, I was the type of player who only roll for female characters, but I was too scared to spend money for fear that there would be more and more males and uglier females char, and the sunk cost of abandoning the game would be very high, so I basically just bought a small monthly pass and played casually. To ask why this, because other games have fallen behind the times, there is no other choice. >Seeing this in action makes me feel like I've found a place to belong. Please polish it up. Don't include men in gacha pools, differentiation is the answer, and I look forward to it. The protagonist gender I do not have any opinion, just mention one point, do not just be a camera [OK] [OK]. >updated >I'll add one more thing to my opinion. Some people have grabbed the ability to cast a female lead and spouted off that it's the anti-males that isn't complete. I think Manjuu should have an understanding of what their basic base is like, and not dig their own graves to make a yuri game out of it. So, if you can choose a female protagonist and it's not a yuri game, you can at least conclude that there is no "oath" between the protagonist and the female characters like Azur Lane. >That is, it doesn't fit the current narrow definition of master love (pandering).
But don't worry, it is possible to have a deep non-love bond with the characters, which is what I mean by the protagonist can't just be a camera(POV), and I think it still meets the broader definition of pandering, after all, your inspiration is fgo.
>To the yurigays that I also have a deep hatred of, they usually hide in the corner of the fandom and two sides would butt heads often, as they will often express their views on the role, this and, that chars are OOC, which will inevitably touch the interests of the waifu players. >I think as long as the official game has the right ratio, know where the red line is, and have the atmosphere that allows players to shout out "so-and-so character is my wife", the main character can choose a female character is also not a bad idea. >---- update again ---- >Alas, the Manjuu I support until now, including the male characters will be a repeat of that game that made the old mistake of shafting the female characters This kind of game is not going to be bought by men, so we'll have to wait for the next game. To be honest I'd rather make peace with the yurigays than see this happen. At least the material released by manjuu so far shows no signs that there will be a male character, and I really hope you'll stick to that line. At the very least I'd be willing to stop playing AL than using my money to fund this game.
It's some Oyohim nig, it doesn't matter the chinks are already pissed if the shiphomosexualry is confirmed in anyway then there will be a worse blowout then GFL2.
>bad performance >mtx galore >single save slot >doesn't add fast travel for immersion, but you can mtx to do it
>PC optimization is REALLY bad >microtransactions, LOTS of them, on top of being a full prize AAA game
I only buy 60-70 dollar games at 50% so there's still a lot of time for them to fix performance and it's kind of sad but Capcom being absolute israelites when it comes to microtransactions is to be expected at this point. Unfortunately I enjoy their gameplay too much to just pass on their games unless they shit the bad on that front.
mtx is the same shit they did with world or dmc5 from what I have seen so far, people getting baited into paying for shit thats already in game or to "skip grinding". Performance is the only major problem but even for me with a 3600 and a 5+ year old CPU, it runs passable on low settings
I dont care as long as shit is playable, but I hope they fix it
I only played World but I don't remember there being much microtransactions. What else was there besides just handler outfits? I read that Rise became more scummy with layered stuff though.

You're right but I still find it shitty in a paid game where you can grind out almost everything to have cosmetics exclusively locked behind paywalls.
It's not a Ganker thing, it's a chinese thing.
Explicit homosexual contents are banned in China. If your game has ambigious MC gender then it can't pander as hard as a game with only hetero relationships. Characters can never say "I love you" and the likes.
Adding female MC option means that gayshit getting added to the game is just inevitable. I remember Rune Factory, it only took one game for them to go full homosexual and make every man try to frick you even if you didn't want it.
Chinks are changing their scores right now, some of them, saying that manjuu deconfirmed males in the gacha, but where did they speak up? There are no socials yet that i can see.
If the MTL is correct this means the leak was real but manjuu here is saying that these homos were early builds concept that apparently won't be in the game
And that the gacha will be all female
We won't know what happens until the beta comes out i guess.
No, they're saying that those characters are enemies or NPCs, they never have a plan for playable males in the first place. They are also saying that they they know their playerbase and they know what they are doing, and tell people to not be worry.
>no male units confirmed (they're npcs or bosses like level headed anons assumed) >female mc shelved >(You)'re (male) back on menu >btw azur lane will be fine for 10 gorillion years

VICTORY
Thank you based chinese gamers
Slow down champ. It's all female playable + no male units but they didn't say anything about removing the female MC. That's still an issue for the dialogue and story.
>shipshit with male NPCs could be a thing too
gays will be gays nothing to be done about that but if its male pc only and cater the story to that end thats the best you can hope for
they do that for azur lane so its not like this is a difficult concept
It's not male pc only is the thing, everything, especially pandering, is gonna be designed and written with both male and female mc in mind

Sounds good to me, keep a place discussing the upcoming game and show a score of the interested parties based on what's the developer doing, not even westerners are this transparent.
They're not gonna bend the knee on that matter. These days chink devs don't see female MC as a negative, in fact some have grown bold enough to either have a female MC only (Reverse:1999) or giving clear favoritism to the female MC if you have two options (Arknights:Endfield).
It's probably not too late to avoid rollable male characters though. If they concede to the fanbase, that'll be the only thing they give up.
>game advertises both female MC and male MC, seemingly on equal terms >only the female MC ever appears in trailers and promo content >for the "technical alpha" test that players were invited to try, only the female MC was playable, the male MC doesn't even have a model yet
99% of the fan content is of the female MC now, obviously as a direct result of the male MC being an afterthought
>morons find some super old concept art of male characters >randomly assume it's for male characters going to be in the game >not just random concept art like ALL games have >have meltdown over nothing
kek
So there will only be female gacha characters and a male/female MC.
Does that mean it will be mostly a yuri game that self-inserters can enjoy as well?
We don't know, Azur Lane is not precisely tediumless either, it has many UI and gameplay loop elements that are still very annoying, nothing account bricking but if i am going to compare genshin hands off approach on dailies to azur lane, i think genshin is better optimized
The push for female mc to be removed is because it might lead to shit like this in the first place so when manjuu confirmed they're not going that route a lot of people care less but there's still going to be some asking for complete removal.
even the guy who claims to deeply hate pufferfish says he'd rather make peace with them than tolerate a game with rollable males so I think the brunt of the issue is over
the remaining pockets of resistance aren't enough to get the female MC removed

Puffer fish in chinese also read as ''river pig'', that's why the chinks call the yurigays ''puffer fish''
If you don't remove the female MC I (yurigay) will pufferfish the frick out of your game be warned chinese netizens as this is not a threat but a promise
If you take drastic actions like that so quickly, you kinda deserve it. Whenever stuff like this happens you should always wait a while to see how it plays out.
You really think the devs aren't going to add cuckshit with their beloved male NPC that they spent so much time and effort to create?
Or that this game is going to have fanservice and pandering?
I for one will stop spending money on AL, knowing that a sequel or anything of the sort is off the table now, since all dev power is going into AP.
Devs always do this shit, they copy stuff without rhyme or reason (genshin is popular, must be the males, the shipping, and the absolute lack of pandering!), they copy that and their game fails (tower of fantasy, snow break). They realize their moronation, and backpedal (they removed all males in ToF and made them NPCs, they removed the playable male in snow break and added fanservice).
This feels like a sakura kakumei 2.0 for manjuu, just absolute moronation.
Look at how popular nike is, solely for the fanservice, same for azur lane, it has survived 7 years for it on a time when fanservice is being abandoned by devs when in reality people want it the most. Look at gushing at magical girls, it's top anime of the season because of the sexual stuff.
Bwo, don't tell me you read an official statement with corporate language and actually believe it. Do you buy Apple products by any chance?
Also, don't look at retrofits and wedding skins number per year, you may notice a chance around 2020/2021...
>You really think the devs aren't going to add cuckshit with their beloved male NPC that they spent so much time and effort to create?
If they have a death wish they will, they aren't as liquid as mihoyo to do that
>you really think the devs aren't going to intentionally kill their game
yes
That's exactly my point, chinese devs ARE in fact that moronic to think that going from mega fanservice and pandering to males and shipping is going to open up their audience and earn them more money. I just put two examples (ToF and Snow Break), but also GFL2 (we all know what happened there, the complete change in tone and personality of the units from 1 to 2).
I can only hope this based backslash from the chiks woke them up and made them realize what made AL popular (is not the stellar gameplay).
If they are smart, they are going to add pandering and fanservice, but we'll see, I personally have no hope.
I've seen this EXACT same situation no less than 10 times before, and at best those games are sitting in 100K per month revenue.
ToF had a major reception and major gameplay related frick ups that were very severe, i can tell you that it having homos or not was the least of its problems
Exactly. I can only hope this game is going to have some sort of affection system, with scenes were you go in cute dates and stuff, and the text stating that you fricked all night.
Or we can go the genshin route, were you help the girl go on a date with a random NPC and he confesses at the end. Actual fricking cuck scene, kek. People are very vocal about this stuff for a reason.
You know what I don't get during all of this >No, this all misinformation, this totally meant to be a male pandering game where you collect only female characters!!!
Then who the frick are the npcs like the half-naked bull-human blacksmith guy for? What purpose do they serve? If the intention here was from the start a >for (you)
game putting work into designing character models like that, even just as npcs, doesn't make any sense.
I care because if the game truly wants to be for the AL audience and it isn't just damage control, that could've been a female character who only wears a blacksmith apron but instead work went into modeling the abs of some male npcs for some reason who is apparently strangely for no one and has no real purpose being the game by their own statement.
AL made it 7 fricking years without this shit, get the genshin brainrot out of your system - once again, if that npc is so irrelevant and could be anyone else in a game supposedly meant to exclusively pander to guys, why is he of all things a huge half-naked bull-human (not like you have his for some reason fully-clothed non-fanservice female counterpart as comparison right next to him in the fricking trailer). Or better yet, why isn't Akashi in his place? You know, the character in AL who fulfills a similar role without being male half-naked bull-human. You know Akashi? Probably not, fricking gigger.
Cool, went work and money into modeling any of them in full 3D as half-naked huge bull-human shop npcs you constantly gonna interact with or do you just keep trying to figure out even more moronic technical gotchas?
>you know akashi?
I recruited the kot years ago lmao.
Back to the topic, they clearly intended to make the world as alive as possible and not in a timeline where everyone but you is a female bote. Having males in this setting are fricking normal regardless of their appearance.
In contrast, it feels gross to have all npcs being female unless of course, you're into yurishits.

Because blacksmiths has ALWAYS been portrayed as bulky men like this, nearly every single piece of fiction portray them like this.
It would be like asking why a game would portray a scholar or alchemist as a nerdy looking person.
Sure, then put a minotaur girl with big jugs then, not a fricking dude. And then you have a female playable character, and all those other super hot, overdesigned male "NPC" or story villain.
You can see how people are getting worried about yume stuff, and no pandering for male players.
How's the writing and story in Azur Lane? Is it like many other Chinese gachas where the writing is padded to the extreme and there's countless amount of words without it actually saying anything?
I was thinking about Arknights when writing that. I've tried many times to enjoy the story but the amount of useless padding and filler is just too much.
Blue archive probably does it best, the filler is SoL fan service and when things get going they get to the point rather drawing it out. They teased a big bad though 3 chapters and actually went through and ended it with a big event. I don't recall any other game that had the balls to wrap up their main plot line.
Nikke is better though, literally nobody knows or talks about BA's literal generic villains meanwhile everyone acquainted with Nikke knows about Syuen, the Heretics, Dorothy.

A 3d open world game with purely female characters as npc too will feel silly, Nikke does just fine with Male npcs and some of them are fan favorites, ntr cuckposting is inevitable even if there's not a single male interested in the playable characters so might as well. BA's of robots and Corgis approach is just cringe because it oozes the player bases' insecurity.
There are just PNGs though, no fricking fully modeled, with custom animations, and fully voiced. I would be ok with generic no name males, but the blacksmith bull looks like he had more care put into him than the fricking fully clothed potatoes in the player party.
>robots and Corgis approach is just cringe because it oozes the player bases' insecurity.
this and also i don't mind femc because i don't want a playable male in my roster even if he's supposed to be my self insert.
No, you have combos, you can deal damage in many ways, especially with characters like Yelan. Don't be a dumb meta drone, play the overworld. Azur Promilia's combat is typical hack and slash garbage, where you hit in thin air. It's got not heft at all.
>add romance and marriage for male MC >add yuribait for female MC
Would CN like this? Their issue is that romance is toned down to accommodate female MC. What if romance is still available for male MC only?
You really think they're gonna write completely different interactions depending on what gender you pick? No gacha does that. The only reason to have a female MC is if you want female players or trannies, and both of those like shipping
Yeah okay lmao, I'm not talking one changed piece of dialogue once in a blue moon. You're talking about just entire interactions changing depending on what you play as. And it's just dumb, why would they even put the female MC in if they were planning on making a waifu game with marriage in it? Marriage is not gonna be in the game, and pandering is gonna be toned down. Best you're gonna get is hearing how important you are to them and nothing more than that, and they'll say that to if whether you're male or female
You can keep being delusional and thinking they'll totally add marriage in....but just for the male mc! They aren't doing that shit, they have a female mc, genshin looking npc dudes, they want women to play too. And they aren't gonna just shaft the female side like that, and you can't have shipbait and marriage at the same time.
you homosexuals instead of coping how about you just play a game that pander specifically to you
Like AL, the predecessor to the game and is the only reason this shit could be funded in the first place...
Best thing they could do is: >Write for a male character >Pretend the female MC doesn't exist for the writing >Characters are just (you) sexual
Would it work?
>They censor the love confessions for the female characters >Oath Rings become Friendship Bracelets for Female MC >Everything uncensored in global release
EZPZ
>Yeah bros they just put the female MC in for no reason its still gonna be a based marriage lewd game!
Why even bother having it in the first place? Nah they added female MC for a reason
Removing the Female MC can be done and it would take riling up the chinks more on NGA and Tieba, but for that you need chink contacts.
Chinks are going to get pretty pissed when the beta drops and its all platonic shit because of both genders, but i don't think the reaction will be enough, the incitement must start now.
Everyone is talking only about removing the female MC, but the male MC also looking like someone who can actually fight and has a good stature instead of little aether boy 2.0 would be nice.
Some anons suggested some customization options but honestly that comes with it's own issues short of just making the dude faceless (which would be the ideal but since you directly interact in the game, eh). Maybe some of the armors can have some cool helmets to hide that babby face. That would be a very minor issue overall. As long as the girls are good and loves (You) most people aren't actually hung up on the PC.
>As long as the girls are good and loves (You) most people aren't actually hung up on the PC
That is the big problem with having a Female MC, if they make every girl for (You) that also means every girl will also be a fricking dyke. Is either that or every girl will just be your best friend the most likely thing that will happen if the game keeps the femMc and have no pandering at all, not to mention they WILL use the Female MC for every trailer and every marketing material this game have, making even more a yurigarbage game.
>they WILL use the Female MC for every trailer and every marketing material this game have
Maybe not, the CN player backlash against the female MC has been pretty severe. Manjuu has plenty of time to tailor their marketing (and the game proper) to their audience after this wake-up call.
Nahh man, every time a gacha game that has a Female MC they ALWAYS use them to marketing material shit, the only game who don't do that i think is Genshin and even in that game all yuritrash people keep crying 24/7 Lumine is not on marketing material and Dunking on anyone who picked the Male Mc >the CN player backlash against the female MC has been pretty severe
And that is a very good thing, i just hope that Manjuu will backtrack on this whole Female Mc situation
>That is the big problem with having a Female MC
Yeah what I said is predicated on the hope that they'd wise up and remove the femPC. If they don't than all of this is a waste of time honestly. If they do they've created a new game in a narrow niche and a possible genshin killer. Up to them which path they want to take.
I honestly think they will after this drama tbh, game is not out yet and is probably not going to be for another year or maybe two and they where quick to address the males on gacha. I also agree that will be a waste of time for me, since i really don't want genshin clone number 37 without any pandering. Being Azur Lane, but 3d would make this stand out of being another genshin cloneIf i really wanted another genshin clone with Pokemons i would play WuWa and i will be skipping that game also
That's what Manjuu wants, which is why they added the female MC. They want the normalgay audience, and if it gets big enough you can bet your ass they'll shaft waifugays and just bank on normalgays once they have a good enough base to soften any backlash. The other leads saying there's actual shipshit with other men is worrying
I wouldn't give two shits about a "safe horny, omnipandering" game that are dime a dozen (unlike pandering and fanservice games, that are in danger of extinction), but to think that the money I spent in Azur Lane was used to churn up this shit doesn't feel good. I don't think I will spend more money on Azur Lane until we get proper pandering and sexual skins on AP.
They built up name for themselves and good rep from AL. Didn't mean shit though, as they're just ditching those people for the normalgay audience. Female MC is just a redflag, you do not want women and trannies in your fanbase, but manisraelite does
What debuked posts? All we got was that there were no males in the gacha, nothing more.
We can only speculate what relation the units and NPC have between each other, and what relation will the MC have with the units.
Translation stolen from Reddit: >Why are there only female characters in the PV? Because we have always been good at designing and controlling female characters, we are very clear about the future direction of the project. The world view of "Blue Star Plains: Ballad of Travels" is a continent with many species and different races. Our initial plan was that only female characters could be obtained from the Star Arrival card pool, so all the characters that could be displayed in the PV were females. Characters (except NPCs). >What’s going on with those pictures circulating on the Internet now? Some interested people used the early settings of our NPCs and villain BOSS to invalidate the cases (these invalid cases would not appear in the game), create rumors and create false character relationship information, and maliciously guide users. For these false information We will use legal means to resolutely safeguard the rights and interests of Manju. >When will the beta of "Blue Star Plains: Ballad of Travel" start? Since the establishment of the project, we have never conducted any form of external closed and recruitment testing. At this stage, our plan is to stabilize the existing internal version first, and after stabilization, we may conduct a series of very small-scale closed testing for external players. Used to collect opinions and refine products.
Are they removing the Female MC and making her a gacha character or what? It's nice it wont have males on gacha, but having a Female MC means the game will either be a sanitized garbage with no pandering or just some yuriBlack person garbage, whats the chinese reaction about that?
Chinks are rightfully worried, no male playable kind of quelled it for now and most are saying they'll wait to see more. But no, female MC is here to stay as of now
Damn, i really hope they backtrack on the Fem MC shit and make her a gacha character. >"After entering the game, they can design their own character image and officially start the adventure in this world. "
This makes me think the game will have some sort of character personalization, but i hope is just for the Male main character.
I'm also fine with that too, as long she is not the MC anymore. They could literally make her the Male MC sister, the first girl you get for free in the gacha and also the "main girl" with a deep relationship with the Male MC, like every other gacha game out there

that poster was just baiting, but it's pretty sad how wrong that post was
like, i want characters to have personalities and their own distinct life goals and interests besides just orbiting the mc
but when it comes to genshin characters that get shipbaited, its literally the exact opposite
they lose all personality and only exist to serve as each others accessory
look at something like eula and amber or ei and miko and tell me events in which they show up together aren't complete snorefest
they literally turn into cardboard cutouts of themselves
Exactly what I said here, but for Genshin instead of FGO
Why do shipgays love this muh one dimensional haremette cope so much? I play FGO and the shipshit characters are generally more one-dimensional than the for (You) characters.

This is why i mentioned the GFL2 drama, their spite for the player base literally killed the game and any chances of a comeback

This is a /vmg/ board homosexual, go be a troony elsewhere
Realistically speaking, they have no reason to keep the female MC. If they remove/repurpose her then the worse that could happen is some normalgays and Genshingays who wouldn't have played the game to begin with will make fun of them for a day and then move on. The only reason they would keep pushing the female MC is stubborn pride, and hopefully they make the rational decision here. They have a big opportunity to listen to the paying market's wishes and pander to them, and I hope they don't frick up.
I thought we were talking about big boy money here but apparently Azur Lane only made 5.5 million across all of its servers last month. Mihoyo wipes its ass with 5 mil. There's actually some yurigay games that make more than this. Are you guys sure that removing the female MC will improve sales when it barely makes any money to begin with?
genshin wipes the floor with everyone. and they did it simply by being the first to make an actual 3d gacha with decent quality, instead of a fricking webapp game with pictures, not because of its choice of characters or mcs.
Genshin and HSR both have yuri and they make significantly more money than Azur Lane and yet you morons want me to believe the chinks will drop this game en masse because it has a female MC option that MAY lead to yuri? Something that can be avoided by simply choosing the male MC? Holy schizos.

based on their voicelines both characters express desire to do it again so the chick that got mindraped is kind of a freak, Hoyoverse is like that sometimes
Uh no? The entire event is about how she never wants to do it again (while the mind rapist does) and how she wants to protect you by keeping you far away from her.
>voicelines
isn’t this the same cope aetherhomosexuals use when they say a girl is for them? kinda hypocritical to use that when you scream it doesn’t count for them lol
The same company that made a yuri series that bent over backwards and added males because yuri itself won’t carry it like it did with their previous games. Even shit like HBR homegrown yurige in japan loses to asiaticslop like Nikke in their home turf
>Genshin and HSR both have yuri
Not exactly they aren't allowed to have any hard yuri in their games anymore so they resort to shoving it into off media like youtube.
Honestly, I would rather they focus on making a good main story with hype cinematics like HSR, so that my VTuber wife can react to them and be as excited as I am. This would be impossible to achieve if they go full self-insert pandering with their story.
>Genshitter being a moron and trolling because he is mad of the possibility of them not pandering homosexuals
Kek, every single time, that's why people hate on Mihomosexual gays
This has been some interesting drama but I think we've reached a standstill. Guess it's time to wait for the beta before any more fuel is added to the fire.
If they remove the female MC this might finally be the last push I need to drop GI forever and get into a different game, but I doubt that will happen. Things never work out entirely the way you want them to.
The main issue with the female mc is that there's a high chance they will neuter the pandering b and become Genshin-lite because China won't allow explicit homosexualry shit.
>Ctrl + F "azur" on the last 3 /gig/ threads >good anons praising AP stance on no gacha males
Yep that explains the sudden influx of doomposts
Thanks for the free publicity trannies!
A lot of the /gig/ trannies migrated to /hsrg/. They were even blogposting about their transition the last time I qent there. There's a lot of ERPing in /hsrg/ as well.
/gig/'s alright, even the ones I don't like generally keep to themselves. It's a handful of shitters. They frick with /gig/, /bag/, etc. But especially /alg/.

>Do FeMCs really hinder the (You) pandering?
It does, if they keep the FemMC expect the writing to be about friendship with no pandering and NO oaths, rings or any type of harem Azur Lane has it
Unless I'm mistaken, showing the player character going further than holding hands instantly bumps the age rating to 16+ and that is what killed that Chinese Harvest Moon mobile game because they would've had to choose to either throw out the romance stuff which is important to Harvest Moon or allow the age rating to get bumped up which is ridiculous for a series that is known to be so family friendly.
>create false character relationship information to maliciously mislead users. For these false information, we will use legal means to resolutely safeguard the rights and interests of Manjuu.
Wait did I read this right is Manjuu really gonna sue a homie for cuckposting? Holy fricking based chinks.
Imagine going to jail for cuckposting kek
You know what, all genshitter related stuff annoys me, but what gets me more is that they apparently poured so much time and resources into developing something so lame and uninspired to just be yet another game that adds to an already clearly saturated niche. All this time I think about how sick some of the fancier riggings of the AL girls would've been in full 3D, so even it would've been only something similar I would've been hype. Because which game of this scale and quality has that? None. But instead we get >here is the fantasy character with her little swords, I hope your rolled for the limited 5* fancy version of the little swords
for the xth time, it's so fricking lame.
>the girls must be for (You) >this cannot happen if you are able to pick a female MC because then some other player who isn't me might pick the female MC and be gay
I feel like chinks are just creating problems for themselves at this point
Haremgays aren't going to pick the female MC
Are they angry over the idea that some other player is going to be gay or is this a government policy thing that anime girls cannot be for (You) if you're female and the chinks are too whipped to do anything about it?
By not having explicit lesbians, just a lot of teasing. >B-but this game could do that!
Yes, but that is a massive downgrade from AL where the girls are chomping at the bit to frick you.
Is that how AL is these days? Last time I played was when pasta botes first came out in JP and there was a ton of cuckposting because Zara's oath line was jokingly poking fun at the ring you were giving her
Even so the most lustful botes back then were probably just Akagi and Taihou and while they always implied they were down to frick it wasn't like the game was skirting R18 territory or anything. Lines overall were pretty mild
>Last time I was there there was a lot of shitposting
Yes those are shitposters and you're an idiot. Zara is like all the other boats, and is very horny and teasing. Her marriage line is her poking fun at the idea that it's the ring that binds her to you and not the love she feels, only a moronic cuckposter, a kind of shitposter, could take that to be anything but romantic.
I don't remember the last time they were explicit about it, it's just all vagueshit like "you're the most important person to me" which is exactly the sort of crap we want to avoid here.
Like the other anons said most of the yuri is shipteasing that the community then takes and runs with. After playing the games most of the couples that people claim are “canon” in genshin, I can maybe only see one or two being actual lesbians. From Honkai I only really remember the Kiana/Mei and Bronya/Seele stuff.
>Genshin and HSR both have yuri
Not exactly they aren't allowed to have any hard yuri in their games anymore so they resort to shoving it into off media like youtube.
You know if the air and water wouldnt give me super cancer and the buildings werent made out of cardboard and man eating escalators I might be alright over there
The thing is haremgays and yurigays are at direct odds with one another. One side will inevitably want the game to be catered towards their taste while trying to quash any sort of dissenting opinions. They cannot coexist.
The devs will be forced to pick a side eventually and earn the ire of those they did not side with. And that's how you end up with an actual schizo in your office building threatening burn the whole thing down.
Games like Uma, Idolmaster, etc. all feature faceless MC so both genders can insert. This doesn't work for 3D games obviously because MC needs their own model.
>end up with an actual schizo in your office building threatening burn the whole thing down.
thing is harem kings are just begging manjuu to reconsider the fem mc for the betterment and success of the game
if it doesnt work out they just go away and keep their wallets closed
schizo genderkin homosexuals on the other hand are the ones with a track record of doing shit like that and being notoriously disloyal
an audience they never had before
what moron casts aside their loyal fanbase for an unknown and unstable one?

explicit* romantic feelings. I find it hard to believe there won't be any (you) bait. Especially considering who the devs are.
Nobody cares about light 'teehee maaaybe she likes you' shit. That's a total blueball after AL.
>different interactions for the Male and Female characters
That's what I'd love to happen and I don't want to say it's impossible, but how many gacha actually do that to a significant degree other than FGO? Feels like Chinese gacha would rather put their money into a pointlessly massive world and cool battle animations than some extra voice lines and scenes for different genders. I'd love Manjuu to prove me wrong though.

Literally Genshin Impact has an NPC that thirsts after you only if you pick the FeMC and not the MaleMC. Saying this is impossible is incredibly stupid and moronic. And that's even without knowing what kind of interactions we are going to get in this game. You are literally fighting ghosts now moron. First it was the possibility of male characters and obviously you ate directly from the anus of the "leakers" and believed it. Now it's about the possibility of not having enough for (You) interactions because the FeMC exists. Take your fricking meds.

I just proved it's possible but now you want more examples. It's just never ending for you mentally ill schizos.
Having a female MC means there are no oaths/marriages, no intimate or sexual dialogues, and less overall fanservice interaction since they have to balance on both MC genders. This is the opposite of what people were initially drawn to with AL
It's that SIMPLE

Genshin's weird in that more and more, it's the unvoiced sections that actually matter while the voiced sections are story irrelevant. The real conflict in Fontaine revolves around Rene and his plan to save the world. He's the main driver of the all of the issues that happen, everyone is dancing in his hands, Focalors only has to off herself because of his actions.
Primordial water murders? Rene was using Vacher for his research.
Breach of the Primordial Sea? Caused by the seal that Rene engraved upon the land.
The Fricking Whale? Rene was prepared to deal with it and the only reason he didn't was because the Traveler added in a new variable that meant the TRAVELER would deal with the whale.
Literally nothing that happens in the Fontaine AQ actually matters. The unvoiced story quests are where the real meat of the region is, and I suspect this pattern will continue into the future. The voiced quests are just gacha advertisements.
That would just turn the FeMC into a neutered option, since there are no male characters. If you are going to do this might as well turn her into a gacha character.
>so the characters in this game will not have any romantic feelings towards the MC.
explicit* romantic feelings. I find it hard to believe there won't be any (you) bait. Especially considering who the devs are.
Gachas are community driven games, and I don't want to play a game whose community is filled with autogynephiles. If they keep FeMC I will not play this game.
So ultimately it just falls upon being the government's fault, got it
Not sure why these game studios just don't move to Japan to release uncensored versions of their games and then give China a censored version with official mods/fixes as to how to play the uncensored version
I just think it is moronic how much emphasis is placed on how for (You) this game will be rather than the gameplay
If the game is fun I will play it
I don't give a frick if there are male banners
I don't give a frick if there is shipshit
I don't give a frick if Tyrone takes your big titty fox wife and fricks her with his friends Jamal and Marcus while sending you the sex tape
Just give me good gameplay and I will play your game
If I wanted just gameplay I wouldn't be playing gachaslop and there's also what
They need to get the pandering right before people would even look at the game. It's the premise that draws people in, not the gameplay.
The gameplay gives them a reason to keep coming back and is always secondary to the pandering. It can't overstay its welcome, otherwise you'd just play a normal game.
Asmongold said the premise looks good and that he'll play it
Mtashed said the premise looks good and that he'll play it
Tectone called this the Genshin killer (real)
This game already won.
>Genshin killer (real)
Two more weeks bros... Genshin will definitely die this time.
The point isn't whether or not it actually kills Genshin. The point is that it has some e-celebs already hooked enough to say dumb shit like this. They are going to spend money on this game. Their viewers are going to spend money on this game. Them playing and spending on this game will serve as free marketing. This game already fricking won by getting big gacha celebs in on trying the game out.
This. Everyone says normalgays won't pick up this game but these morons don't realize they're stuck in 2021. Normalgays already dropped Genshit for the most part. Big content creators are all looking for the next new big game. Sure they won't play it long term because they are content cultures but the amount they whale plus their whale friends and influenced audience will whale within a one year period is already going to be more money than Azur Lane has ever seen in its life.

What is your obsession with this game being more profitable than AL?
Cautiously optimistic. They've quickly put down the idea of playable m*le units and reaffirmed their commitment to their flagship game so that's half the nails in that coffin. If they scuttle the FemPC option and make her a unit or something, we're in the clear.
They are haremgays upset that if female MC exists then the girls won't want to frick you even if you pick male MC because they need to play safe in front of Winnie Pooh and not let the possibility of yuri to exist
Self-insert gays are really insecure, like insanely so. So if there's another male close by that threatens them to the extreme and they have a meltdown. And the same applies for female characters and pairing, if there's any "competition" they start crying.

That was actually a /u/gay who thought having bunny skins was tainting the purity of his girls. You can see where the direction of HI3 took after that incident.
You can say the same thing about /u/shipping homosexuals. Why else would you be here? We're all schizos here, don't act like so sanctimonious in a /vmg/ thread.
Because mcwars autism and china won't allow things to get too fanservice-y if there's a female mc option because china doesn't allow promotion of homosexualry in media.
You can read the rest of the thread for more details.
While this is true and while the all female cast is repelling the genshin crowd so to speak, I personally don't see the point of a female MC option in a bishoujo game targeted to men, gender options in these games are largely a pointless illusion of false choice that only thing it achieves is that the protag is written from a neutral prospective or worse is written like a woman like FE: Engage's MC you can't fault people who want to play a harem game with a protagonist that is written like a boy/man instead of a girl/them.
I don't know bro it's not like it's been explained multiple times or anything. Maybe they're just gay and think you're cute and totally wouldn't head stomp you.
They are haremgays upset that if female MC exists then the girls won't want to frick you even if you pick male MC because they need to play safe in front of Winnie Pooh and not let the possibility of yuri to exist
For example let's say there's an event where a girl gives (You) a kiss
If the game locks you to male MC this is okay
If the game doesn't lock you to male MC then even if you pick male MC, someone else might pick female MC and see a scene of a girl giving female (You) a kiss
This is illegal in China
The options from here are >change the law in china to allow it >devs make different events and dialogue for when you pick male MC vs female MC >devs remove female MC
The third is the only viable solution
You only say this because Azur Lane is poor as shit and doesn't have any successful content creators promoting the game
Games wanting to make real money NEED content creators and streamers to play their game
>Falseflagging as yurigays
Yurihomosexuals always shows up when people start dunking on them, they did the same shit in the snowbreak general after the devs of that game gave them the middle finger, doomposting and concern trolling even tho they never played the game in the first place. YuriBlack folk always do this shit in every general when shit don't go their way. >mihomogays
That part is true, but they are also yurishitters themself, just look how they harass artists when they make straight couples fanart (the aether one with arlechino and another with Clorinde and another male character)
Funny cuz i just entered this discussion yurishitter, i don't have the entire day to be on Ganker >Take your meds, but unironically.
You should take your own advice homosexual
annoying yuri fans have been ruining anime threads since the days of love lab and euphonium, but if you watched even just the first episode of g-witch and it didn't clue you in that it's a yuri anime then i dont know what to tell you, dude
This has to be a terminally online thing. The one yurigay I know doesn’t bring it up at all unless promoted, she just shares it within her group and goes an about her business.
You now remember the Navia character quest making them upset because it was a bit too hard on the (you) pandering.
They are always like this, pretends to be the victim at the same time they invade generals of games they don't playor games that they doompost like Snowbreak and starts harassing everyone, including artists who goes against their delusions (like the genshin examples)
>insta seeth because he knows its true >schizo behavior thinking every post is from the same person All me btw
Yurishitter bro, you always going to be hated by everyone who is not a homosexual. Now go on twitter seeth at some random artist for making a straight couple fanart, again.
Crying over femc is the most moronic thing i have ever read. Every gacha game has gender choice or ambiguity gender but you can't do it in this game because (you)r schizophrenic mind said so >but the anti gay law in China
Proof? Evidence of the law exist? Unless is full of shit and (you) just make thing up right
I play AL. I spend money on AL. I want that money to go to funding a better AL.
Instead they use my money to make game that panders to normalgays and homos.
Of course I will be upset
You know there's a perfect place to go if you want to have an echo chamber where everyone thinks the same and no other opinions are allowed. It's called reddit and you should go back there.
Yeah, which is why as soon as the seething about le haremgays/self-inserts started several posts asking previously answered questions and posts about E-celebs Gensharters love discussing about popped up.
If they don't have a Female MC the game will fail, there's a reason all the biggest games have a female MC or the option for it.
If you only pander the demographic that self inserts you lose out on every adult and mature person that don't self insert into games and fiction anymore, that like everyone that 25+ years old.
As a nikkegay I can assure you that the people who are contributing to 80% of the games income are giant whalegays who spend $100 daily on red core boxes to keep up in levels with their whale friends
They also roll for 11 copies of a character every banner
I talk to some of these people and they literally just Skip story and events and advice sessions etc they don't give a frick about the game they are just whaling in it because their friends are and they compete to wave their dick when it comes to solo and union raid time
Yeah and guess what
Pascal is still in the game
Legendary SKK advise is still in the game
Shift Up doesn't give a frick
The game still makes tens of millions every month

Yes, because they didn't add an actual male. Flashback bonds/advise are also being tolerated since they are past stuff and shiftup is being careful with keeping it platonic as seen by black scarlet, but the players I know would generally prefer not to have them.

I'd blame that more on zero marketing (outside of shill threads on Ganker) and poor monetization, especially from a coomer's perspective. Like, the horny animations are all they have, and if you just want to goon to that, getting one copy is pretty easy, or, even better, just watch the PVs on the official youtube.

Nikke at least has paid costumes.

I never looked into that game because it's called fricking Brown Dust.
Women have had no problems playing as males in games just as they decided to watch capeshit and play vidya because it got very popular with men even tho they spent years making fun of people for liking it before.
You do know the target audience for these Isekai harem anime is japanese salaryman rather than basement dwelling NEETs, right? It's the same for gacha. Some people just want to roleplay their fantasy of being popular with cute girls.
It's funny because as an avid isekai reader the stories that seem the most popular lately are the ones with an edgy solo MC that gets teleported with their classmates or find other Japanese people and there's always some gay character that who either just wants a slow life with a group of girls or wants to become harem king of the world who gets killed by the MC
I think isekai audience is changing and is tired of this shit now
One of the best ones of late is probably Instant Death
It got an anime recently but I didn't watch it
Another one that features solo edgy MC is the one about an assassin who gets reincarnated to help a goddess kill a group of isekai heroes who went rogue and drunk off their power after they finished killing the demon king. I forgot the name however

Korean ones are edgy but in a different way
Japan usually just stops at NTR of the protagonists CF or love interest while MC is left to die
In Korea the villains get away with killing the MCs parents and raping MCs sister before selling her off to prostitution in a third world country. They kill off MCs only allies and torture the MC in every way imaginable

That's why I said options. Teens can still pick the twink look
>just looks like adult male
You're playing an anime game, you realize? To make men look like 'adult males' by your criteria, they need to be hyper masculine, which they see as gay.
Nikke's SKK looks like an adult male without being overly ripped and macho and still manages to be faceless
I don't know why chinks can't just go with a design like that

No one new to the franchise would pick up the game because the gameplay would still be shit
Brown Dust devs themselves aaid they were looking into adding a relationship system and a player's avatar. They also said they want to focus on releasing female characters.
Is too late for any of that, they should have done that since the beginning, but i guess they are just desperate now. I think they would have a better chance making a new game
Nobody will play this for being a genshin clone, everyone that will be interested in this game will be interested on the romance and the waifus that is known from azur lane devs.
>Nobody will play this for being a genshin clone
This game already has a bunch of big streamers interested in trying it out and thats with the impression that this is a waifu game with no male playable characters too

"Why are CN’s male players so resistant to female players?
The female model of the Chinese version of Genshin Impact was forced to be modified. Players asked the relevant local departments in Shanghai why, and the answer they received was "respecting the opinions of female players." As a result, the anger of Genshin Impact's male players against female players reached its peak. The mainstream view is that female players submitted a large number of reports to the government, resulting in the model being forced to be modified.
Especially at that time, they discovered that some female players were practicing double standards. While they accused Shenhe of being too lewd and exposed, they were full of praise for Arataki Itto.
All of these eventually led to a large influx of gender-opposing views into the gacha game market."
Wait it's actually true that it's thanks to females that Genshin got ruined?
Because women always ruins fanbases they enter.
They always whine on the smallest things, all the character stereotyping, always trying to force their "ideas" and virtue signaling.
Reminder that 10+ years ago they were just making fun of men who are into anime and videogames calling them creep, nerds, losers, incels, etc. and now they're invading the same space they hate and are now forcing their crap when they are just tourists who are into it because it's trendy and popular
This is exactly what happened in the West. This is exactly how Mihomos act since a lot of that fandom is full of femoids and trannies. They basically go to every new gacha and scream about how you need more males, more gay representation and stop pandering to men.
Men are becoming more radicalized by women in West, especially the younger generation that are listening to guys like Tate. It feels like women need to trend in the other direction or dudes are gonna want to beat them back into the kitchen at some point. Even voter lines are starting to look eerily like male vs females now because the whole race pandering nonsense hit its peak already and is facing backlash.
Women dont make creative decisions, you are placing blame on people who have less power than you do. If your game decides to pander less to you that is the fault of the corporate overlords who only look at numbers to make any kind of decision
>cater to the audience that's underage and barely adults >meaning they have no money >or the audience that's older and have lots of dispensable income
hmmm I wonder which is best
>dispensable income >Azur Lane audience
The other day I asked some Azur Lane anons how much they've spent and the most was maybe $2700 over a 5-6 year period
I've E6S5'd a few Star Rail characters back when I was playing that game. It cost maybe $1200-1500 per character on average. This was within a 4 month period. I was also not even that big a spender compared to those in my friend group.
Making a game that panders to normalgays like "me" will make way more money than pandering to whoever the frick the Azur Lane player base is.
Most Star Black folk are F2P. The devs already said they're pandering to straight men so you're welcome to frick off homo.

Are you insinuating then that if the game copied Genshin gacha and made it cost $1000+ to max out any girl that Azur Lane would be making as much money as normie titles like Genshin?
So why did you stop playing then? It's pandering to "normalgays" like you right? Why did you quit?

In AL you only need to buy skins, you can max out all of the girls absolutely F2P. There is no need to drop money on getting the characters. The monetization models are completely different. You act as if people aren't spending money on the game because they are poor. Which simply isn't the case.

This thread is so dumb, both sides exaggerating for the wrong reasons
Ecelebs and the online discourse around the game are already salivating or are very positive about it and it stands out to them that it has no males that would seem from the gacha.
Manjuu has already officially announced it won't have males in the gacha so i think the game needs to do no further.
All the genshin doubters and coomers who are already a big demographic are already in sights of picking up the game. This has already succeded.
it doesn't need azur lane tier (You) pandering, it already won't have homos in the gacha pool.
That alone puts it miles in front of genshin for all the other people sick of mihoyo's little forced shipping mini stories
This has happened like 5 times (famously once from arknights fans), and yet the game is still here, 7 years later.
And now the devs used those 7 years of revenue to shit out a genshin copy that will EoS in 6 months. It may go the tower of fantasy route and live on as a zombie, maybe.
We now know why we didn't get more muse ships with new original songs...
Manjuu has been reported to feminists multiple times and dealt with multiple censorship waves for azur lane, they know the workarounds, mihoyo is just cucked because they want.
Pretty sure they're just waiting for the game to get released to get some ammos to report.
It'll be Azur Lane all over again where Arknights femoids and feminist mass reported the game
This thread is just going in circles. The Mihomosexual isn't gonna acknowledge this game is for straight males so it's better to just stop wasting your time.
This game is for straight males
Straight males can play as a femc >b-but not in china
I don't give a frick about China I just want to look at a cute girl and not an ugly Chongyun expy
FeMC will upgrade all the other characters personality, character and interaction like crazy. Because if the game is just (You) pandering no other characters are allowed to look at each other, interact or have any kind of personality
>FeMC will upgrade all the other characters personality

See, with a female MC we attrack these kind of yuri troons. We need faceless MC only, and implied sex in affection events.
I do not have too much hope, seeing that they removed e-girls and added potatoes in their place.
But there was never much hope in the first place.
>nta but you are moronic and a homosexual
See, you dodge the question because you know that every fricking game like this with a female MC we NEVER end up with any of the girls liking you. Look at Mihoyo's shit.
The thing about mihoyo is if they were upfront about which girls are shipshit, I wouldn’t even mind. They are not. You roll at your own peril. Maybe you get lucky your girl never talks to anyone like Yelan.
>Manjuu was also very quick to clear this male drama out >they will very likely deal with FemMC problem too >they will make even more trannies seeth
Very bright indeed
I don't get people who say shit like "No way, it's Manjuu, they'd never make a shipshit game!" when they've already betrayed their fanbase and previous assumptions about them by including female MC in the first place.
>strawman >meanwhile every event [Headcanon]
Please, keep going.
>All the girls in Genshin are for (You) bro! >Meanwhile every event ships a girl with someone else
Tell me about your Nahida bro
>he is now pretending that mihoyo games don't have (you) pandering
here we go again
The thing about mihoyo is if they were upfront about which girls are shipshit, I wouldn’t even mind. They are not. You roll at your own peril. Maybe you get lucky your girl never talks to anyone like Yelan.
I decided to play the game after a while, mainly because I was tired of getting secondhand info about it.
For instance >Jean and Lisa
Why is this a ship? Lisa more often than not gets you to hit Jean up. Hell one time she literally tells you that Jean is out on the balcony alone and you should go talk to her...not to mention all the times you can blatantly flirt with her. Lisa even ships her off with you for the summer event.
This is why you don’t let those troons into your fanbase. They don’t even care if the game itself made Lisa tell (you) to go after Jean. They just ship every female and yell online until people accept it.
I guess that is the most annoying thing? I can't even talk the actual in game story or dialogue without SOMEONE injecting their headcanons/ships into it. It is rather annoying.
Again, go play the Nahida event.
I haven't gotten to it yet, however with what I have seen so far I am expecting it to just be another nothing burger that got blown out of proportion.
Hell, I even remember seeing cuckposts about Shenhe in a unrelated general, and just watching Cloud Retainer's trailer shows me how delusional that is.
>go to bed >wake up to 300+ new posts >it's nothing but culture war garbage
Time to go back to playing AL. Hope AP is good, but there's nothing to do anymore but wait.
stupid gay, speculation and community interaction is the appeal of live service games.
Is not that there's nothing to do but wait, instead there's nothing to do but talk with your fellow anons (except yurigays, those are subhuman).
Doesnt matter what gender you pick in those games

If having a game having a FeMC is enough to trigger you, then you should unironically have a nice day where no one can see.
>e-girls
They're a matter of height and that's why i suggested character customizations. Though the changs obviously prefer being a twink so there goes all hope.
Tbh the fanbase be fine. Most of trannies are already busy with mihoyo anyways. They’re not gonna swarm to a lesser popular game which means you can shit on any morons pretty easily.
The difference about GFL2 is that >directly linked to the previous game sharing characters and lore while AP isn't >explicit lines about being cucked in GFL2 while nothing remotely even happened in AP - it's literally all just schizo babble >only GFL players care about GFL2 while AP players don't really care about AL
Having a female MC means there are no oaths/marriages, no intimate or sexual dialogues, and less overall fanservice interaction since they have to balance on both MC genders. This is the opposite of what people were initially drawn to with AL
It's that SIMPLE
I just proved it's possible but now you want more examples. It's just never ending for you mentally ill schizos.

Cool, you can play Azur Lane then.
I initially asked for 5, even went easy on you and went down to 3 under one condition, and you can't even do that much. Do us all a favor and have a nice day genchink
Hilarious. You are acting just like the people you hate. The same Black folk who create out of thin air "canon" ships because the other character looked at each other for longer than 3 microseconds. That's how pathetic you look.
It would be worth it if the game had male characters, so the FeMC could get more explicitly romantic stuff. If they do that in the game as it is it will just turn the FeMC in a neutered option unless Manjuu adds that sort of content for the femc in a future global version.
Not even GI a "homosexual slop" game does romantic stuff with the FeMC. You are fighting ghosts anon.
You're never going to be playing this game in the first place, you're yoo busy juggling your four Mihomosexual games.
You are literally going to play it for a week maybe, complain that you can't do everything in one click or leave the game playing itself in the background and seethe at the most basic human interactions of the female characters in the world. You are already seething about the game without even being able to play it while I'm excited to try it out. Projection much?
If I play it for a week only that would be a week longer than you'd play it, parasite. You have no interest in playing this game, you just want to spite the people who do, because their very existence makes you seethe.

Stop engaging with this moron, dude. He'll keep going forever at this rate.
You know these people don't play porn games because I play the ones with huge titty female MCs and self insert as the ugly bald ojiisans fricking the female MC in a cow print bikini cosplay every time
True porn connoisseurs have no problem with female MC we've already learned how to enjoy things without self inserting as the main character all the time
What I don't get is why there's so little effort and money put into making different interactions for different gendered player characters. It's not a matter of "not enough budget", but where that budget is going. Most gacha players don't play for a huge open world, but for the character interactions. If a company like Manjuu has the money to dump into making all of these environments and animations, they could cut some of that and improve the character interactions instead because they matter so much more than surface level garbage like pretty locations and Pokemon fights.
Honestly if you get filtered by the female MC, good riddance. I don't want to share this game with Black folk like you moaning at the first sign girls are interacting with each other.
It would be worth it if the game had male characters, so the FeMC could get more explicitly romantic stuff. If they do that in the game as it is it will just turn the FeMC in a neutered option unless Manjuu adds that sort of content for the femc in a future global version.
very few people are complaining about the fem mc right now, anyways
reception is positive now after the announcement last night but i think they should drop a beta fast because its main weakness is looking really generic and with WuWa in the corner people will start making harsher comparisons
definitely will benefit from heavier pandering because everyone that is commenting over there just wants anime breasts
>very few
Literally lying, last time i checked even the 5 stars reviews was telling them to remove the FemMC, people in china are just giving Manjuu their trust because of their good will
read more comments then, i bet even in NGA and Tieba is the same shit. People in China will get even angrier if they sanitize the dialog because of the FemMC or even worse, if they add Yuritrash
Not sure what Your deal is, you really think all their complains about the FemMC just vanished because they chill out after getting what they wanted once? This is just them giving their trust and waiting to see what's going to happen.

Promilia looked very "complete" already if what we saw in the gameplay weren't complete scripted bullshots
In any case, this game has been in dev since 2021, that's a very very short for a game that looks as massive as it is in its trailer from a developer not precisely known for their technical prowess and owners of an IP that is not a top chart money maker either
I think fem mc is the last of Promilia's problems right now because it looks like its over promising with its trailer and it will be very undercooked.
Considering how bad Genshin's combat is all it takes for Promilia is to have just a decent and ok combat and that the pokémon system is not ass. If they manage to do this and not censor outfits and stuff I think they can really grab an untapped audience.
>Promilia looked very "complete" already if what we saw in the gameplay weren't complete scripted bullshots
A lot of games already looks complete in trailers, but that don't mean anything. Game is probably going to take at least a year or maybe even 2 to release
What complaints? It's just a few few posts "complaining" about the Female MC, it's a problem you've made up in your head that doesn't really exist.
>disingenuous post >pretending that this was not the first problem chinese complained about it even before the supposed leak about males in the gacha
homosexual
Then keep the low score until they remove the female MC, why bump it up
read their comments and you are going to see them saying that they just increase because of their good will and will review bombed again if they they piss them off and that includes the FemMC and the possibility of that affecting the writing of the game + yuri garbage being added
Because he's full off shit and making up stuff to stir drama here
Damn is almost like people can read what the reviews are saying and is almost like people who wrote the review can change the score whenever they want to threaten them
>A lot of games already looks complete in trailers
wuwa looked like shit AND STILL LOOKS LIKE SHIT wtf are these solid color sky boxes and textureless zones? the only thing they have polished so far is the premium characters

How could one possibly miss the absolute lack of new mechanics, wedding skins, retrofits, and original songs (with Muse events) that has been going on since 2021, unless said person doesn't play the game and is a tourist.
>we don't know what character interactions will be like >we don't really know much about the game in general actually
Why continue to speculate on these things, wait for the beta to drop and we will get a better idea of what the game is going to be like.
>first someone shit posted about the game will totally have playable male characters in the gacha for sure >the moment that stopped they started doing the "Chinks are in uproar because there's a female MC!"
I thought i was the only one that thought Wuthering Waves was an eyesore, they really really need to work more on their environments, the half assing and then using post-apoc as an excuse is so lame
Wasn't there a big drama in Snowbreak over yuri a few weeks ago and devs came out and publicly said the game will never have female MC option? So it's not a topic Chinese are unfamiliar with
Yeah, I'm not someone who wants yuri fans anywhere near my games, but I dislike the idea of female characters not being able to interact with one another at all due to fear of annoying yuri shippers. Half of Fenny's characterization is wanting to upstage Lyfe, if they remove that too, it would be a shame
The snowbreak devs took advantage of the GFL2 scandal to court their players. The GFL2 players (and chinese waifugays in general) are kind of on edge after the Raymond BS, so yeah...
The devs also changed some character models to become more fanservicey too thanks to the feedback.
Devs said the game wont have any yurishitter garbage and no NTR trash
Snowbreak is bizarre they retconned two girls being friends, said girls gave 0 indication they were yuri, from what I've seen at least.
>concern trolling just like in the snowbreak general
You lost

Half of Fenny's characterization is wanting to upstage Lyfe, if they remove that too, it would be a shame
He is full of shit and probably don't even play the game. Snowbreak board was full of tourists like him after some chink posted on reddit that the devs gave all yurishitters the middle finger. If anything the story of the game just got better after they went full (you) pandering and the MC being more of a gigachad
LGTV mindbroke the zoomers. They think now yuri = LGTV pandering when it was never the case before. I wish I could go back to 2014 when I could still enjoy comfy shows of girls doing girl things without some ape screaming "OMG YURI Black person, YOU ARE GETTING KEKED"
I might be getting old but it always baffles my mind when people act like this when yuri is mentioned.
Yuri has always been core part of anime/Ganker culture.
One think is liking it because it's hot and another is for le hecking wholesome relationship.
Yuri is only good for porn, or the porn potential, anyway,
Like I said, yuri is good for porn. If you watch it exclusively for the "pure" aspect then you're exactly the kind of person weebs in general should filter.

This is just a bad example, but the point is it's way more believable and easier to write two characters that actually has a personality and character to be together.
For some character traits and personalities it is actually impossible, makes zero sense and is not believable at all for them to instantly fall in love with the MC for no reason. It works for some character traits, but not most.

Except the gacha format makes it hard to develop characters, since it relies on FOTM to survive and there's too many characters to juggle.
Because of that, developing characters and relationships becomes hard. Gacha is just a bad format if you are looking for that sort of thing.

Like I said, yuri is good for porn. If you watch it exclusively for the "pure" aspect then you're exactly the kind of person weebs in general should filter.
You need to realize that not all people self-insert and for those people it's a clear choice to see 2 female characters in a relationship rather than another male and female.
This entire division only exist because people that self-insert honestly think that EVERYONE does it and there's no other option.
I don't self-insert into everything, I just don't see value in yuri other than the sexual aspect of it. I love anime bawds, that's it.
I don't watch it exclusively for the pure aspect but considering how rotten and self-centered I see some people acting I feel like it's a breath of fresh air when no none of that is involved
Whatever, it isn't like we're gonna change each other's mind anyway. The priority is to filter the mentally ill from the community (Homoverse, twitter homosexuals, western "normalgays" in general).

No, on average there's no sexual elements in yuri anime. The magical girl anime that's airing is an exception, and even then I rather watch the hot segments on Gelbooru.
I watch anime to experience a good story (which hasn't happened in a long time), rarely ever tune in for CGDT stuff.
So what? Based on the community from Genshin the game is full of homosexual, trannies and lesbian characters. But if you actually play the game you quickly realize what the community says and what the game is about are completely two different things. Try to interact with any My Hero Academia fan on the west and they'll swear that all the characters are homosexuals and Deku secretly wants to be raped by literally every single male character he interacts with. If you can't separate the mental illness that is the normie anime community with the actual content you need to touch some grass anon.
So stop interacting with them holy frick. How hard is to just open the game and enjoy it and occasionally browse the fanart for the game? You care too much what other "people" think of the games you play.

They also put in gay marriage while leaving out the e-girls they were originally suppoaed to put in. And that makes me mad.
I think what happens is that some people feel an unhealthy obsession with a community, whether it's a game/franchise's community or a general on Ganker or whatever. When they see things in a game or franchise that might shake up that community, things that could bring in people they hate talking about the thing, they view it as a threat even if its inclusion on its own is harmless to the product's quality.
I really don't get what's so great about yuri. In games like this of course I'd want the female characters to be all over me instead of some random character, even if they are a girl.
I can assure you it's all zhangs and these Black folk would never browse Ganker in the first place if not for pushing whatever propaganda they're trying to call for

Thank god. It's more reassuring the fanbase will be better than any Mihomosexual gachas. I bet most femoids and trans are just stick with Genshin/HSR anyways.
Why does moron think that female mc=no pandering?
You can fix this easily by just change the pov to first-person pov when you oath the girl. You can then make the girl kiss the camera.
In that way the "kiss" doesn't depict two women kissing.
I don't think the argument is "no pandering" its that the potential pandering is hindered.
>You can fix this easily by just change the pov to first-person pov when you oath the girl. You can then make the girl kiss the camera.
You already know if this does make it in, and it gets any sort of traction it will get reported to the CCP. >In that way the "kiss" doesn't depict two women kissing.
While true, its also why you see most pandering in Genshin and HSR use flowery language to get the point across instead of just saying it outright. Which, if you can read I really don't see why that is so bad.
That's what I literally mean. Female MC won't reduce or hinder pandering. Azur lane shikikan still has ambiguous gender(though it's leaning to male).
If the kiss will get reported, I don't think kiss between Male MC and the girl will be safe either.
If the pandering include hug or hand-holding, I think it will be safe with female MC too. Because it doesn't automatically mean yuri. I don't think words of love will be ground for report to CCP. I think what ground for report is the action.
Tldr: Anything that isn't safe for female MC, won't safe for male MC too. And anything that's safe for male MC will be safe for female MC too.
>hugs >hand-holding >maybe dates, or "romantic" situations
All these could happen, there just has to be enough room for some alternate interpretation. You won't see "love" be thrown around, like other anons said you'll get round-about ways to get the point across.
>Azur lane shikikan still has ambiguous gender(though it's leaning to male).
No, like the other anon said. Just going off words used by botes to describe him, SKK is a guy. You do not call a woman a stud.
I concede about shikikan gender. Not a fan of Nevada and Fdg disgust me, so I forgot about them. Your example is incorrect though, because it's from EN translation.
But for the "love" to be reduce, it's still your headcanon. The correct response is to wait and see from upcoming beta test. If it's really become as platonic like Ryza's characters lines, then I agree with the removal of female MC(if this is really the roadblock). But I'm more worried with age rating than this thing.
>Different dialogue for both gender
This comes from a game developer that put in valentine letters for 600+ characters every year and added a free princess maker minigame for no other reason. It's very doable.
Is this the promilia thread?
Anyway, the trailer sucks. The girls looks generic and I hate the chink aesthetic and kemono wanker can frick off. Give me IB theme you dicksucking homosexual.
I was going to bring up the point that a lot of people just want to play with a female lead.
Then immediately occurred to me that you just can give the player both the fem mc and the male mc at once and then just focus all the lines on the male mc.

Relationships between playable characters must be clearly defined like loyalty, rightousness, kindness, friends, enemies, business, and no vague hints or bait. Changes in relationship requires the influence of Rover. >5. Characters will support Rover's opinion during conflicts. Conflicts between playables must involve Rover. Conflicts between playable and NPC must involve Rover. >6. Rover must be the main role in life changing moments for playables, and their life cannot change without the knowlkedge of Rover. >7. All major change in plot must involve Rover or caused by Rover. The story cannot be advanced by other characters. >8. Characters' sensitive parts cannot be touched by other characters.

if promila is (you)sexual we talking
fem mc still has to be a playable unit and not a player character tho or else the game suffers for it
its that simple
Even genshit barely has any original ideas, they borrow most of the concepts from other games and just combine them together in a way that attracted normies.

It being its own thing and not based on ww2 helps a lot in the character distribution and focus department, i hope.

All the ecelebs that are outlining the all female cast basically love or hate it, no in between, more than 1 of them i've heard say that indeed this game has an unique market capture because there's no open world gacha with only females
This. Hopefully the all girl cast will keep the shitters from hoyoverse from coming over so I don't have to see people crying about their ships when two characters glance at each other.
The ongoing GFL2 drama should be a warning to all these devs. Mihomosexual can attract their LGBTBLMQQ+ crowd that they always pander to, but you better be careful what you release into the market.
Female ecelebs seem more organically interested into Promilia than they do for other gacha exactly because of the female cast and the emphasis on cute and bishoujo so i don't think fem mc is ever getting axed. Also Manjuu is managed by a female CEO and the main artist Soaryuna is also a woman.
This is why I tell people to support Nornium that game is basically everything everyone wants from AP, hell it's even going to have better jiggle physics too.
They just got through their first beta test a few weeks ago, I am assuming it will release by the end of 2024/ beginning of 2025 because they still need to add voice acting but the dev is regularly communicating with the EN side of the fanbase on twitter and discord.
That and the farming and lifestyle stuff, women absolutely love that shit and the ones that aren't mentally ill don't mind the playable girls being cute. It's going to be funny if Promilia captures the sane female playerbase Mihoyo has and Genshin becomes even more concentrated mental illness than it already is.
Yep just look at what the black swan dance did to the Star Rail fanbase.
that's yuritroons. just look at fgo, waifugays been fine for years occupying the space with yumes/fujo people. the one thing the franchise was never big on was attracting yuritroons. which is why hsr is so bad now after not even a year.
if you really think about, it's perfect. yumes/fujos loves males, waifugays loves females. you both get to play in your little corners and don't need to step on each other's toes all the time.
yuritroons basically come into communities screaming about incels and how the girls are all gay and not for (you). tell me why these people would get along with the waifugays in the gacha community? they wouldn't, that's why hsrg is a dumpster fire and it's not even at its first anniversary.

I agree with you, they don't. Just go into any hoyoverse game discussion be that here, twitter,discords,twitter. Even when you are trying to talk about the game outside of shipping, they somehow inject that headcanon into their view about the game, and it is just annoying to try and talk about.

I'm not into yuri but I don't understand anons who rather every girl be so into (You). I couldn't really get into Priconne or Blue Archive because of this. I'm not against the idea of any girls being into (You), but it starts to feel less special when everyone does it and you can't really expect anything different.
Wish more games took Nikke's direction. Not every girl in that game makes their entire personality revolve around riding your dick. Everyone says they hate platonic relationships but I rather enjoy that some of the Nikkes just have a really chill relationship with you instead of wanting your affection 100% of the time. It makes the moments where you actually have sex with Nikkes more special.

I might just be too used to games that reuse characters for alts like holiday/summer versions etc. but that's probably not a thing for 3D open world games.
I'm honestly fine if a girl is not too into (You) at first but over time as the character gets more alt versions your relationship progresses. This is the kind of thing I'd like to see more often but it's probably hopeless for 3D open world games, especially considering they probably wouldn't do things like side stories/character episodes so you get to explore more about the character.

Everyone has different tastes so there's the chance they'll release a girl you really like but she happens to be the one that's for shipshit or whatever the hell. I also wouldn't want that to happen to other anons even if the girls I like happen to be the ones for (you).

I dropped genshin sometime in Inazuma. Picked it back up later and immediately had Kazuha's incredibly dry "oh so sad boo hoo" backstory explained to me 3 times back-to-back in 3 separate quests/summer event and quit again. Then I came back for Sumeru. Then I left right after they released the third fricking desert area in a row. I can't bring myself to give it another go.

never said every girl needs to be explicitly for (you). my favorite girl in fgo is vaguely so and more like an older sister character. i don't need her to come out and say she loves (you).
i like girls having platonic relationships, back in the day, people were fine with this and we called it cute girls doing cute things in anime. modern yuritroons are no different at this point than western LGBT communities. they storm your community, call bayonetta gay because she has a female friend and then when people tell them no, they throw a tantrum and call you an homophobic incel. like frick off.

I don't think these people were yurigays. They were just the LGBT+ crowd whp makes their whole personality being gay wanting to claim characters as icons because muh represention.
Yeah, there's a certain audience of women who play games like this for cute characters. The lifestyle aspects, pals and stuff like farming seems like things that appeal to women, so I expect this game to be lighter on the pandering and lewds.
Like this anon
This is why I tell people to support Nornium that game is basically everything everyone wants from AP, hell it's even going to have better jiggle physics too.
said Nornium is probably the go to choice if you are looking for more overt pandering and lewdness.
I know. I'm not saying they are abandoning their waifugay audience. All I'm saying is that the pandering will likely be around the level of stuff like BA rather than the raunchier and morr agressive stuff you see in AL.
You can tell they've never encounterd or had to interact with /u/schizos before. Be careful what you're asking for. Coexistence with them is impossible unless you are also one of them.
Thus proving my point that coexistence is impossible. This whole thread is a small sample of what's to come. They fundamentally want different things out of the story/game.
They cannot coexist amongst themself since they are always fighting
Yeah they sure are so much worse than the schizos here that has made over 1000 posts about how "Yuritrannies ruin everything!"
says the yuritroony
yurigays have HSR already, just play that.
They can never be satisfied with anything, they already have all Mihomosexual games and a bunch of others but they still feel the need to invade other games like BA, Snowbreak, nikke, azur lane and whatever other who is made for straight males
You can just ignore them? Any male mc hate and obnoxious shipping you're forced to look at will be from disingenuous shitposters and people posting twitter screenshots
Yeah, those are the disingenuous shitposters in question. They may be yuri fans, they may not be. The problem isn't that they're posting yuri, the problem is that they're schizophrenic

Your enemies aren't yuri fans but the schizophrenic hellbent on shitting up your threads.
Disclaimer that I don't support shipshit, but imo it's fine if a girl initially doesn't show interest in you until way later. I feel like with a lot of characters in waifu-centric games they fall for you way too fast and the worst is probably the cases of you just being a decent person that gets them to be wet over you. It just does not feel genuine or rewarding.
>I feel like with a lot of characters in waifu-centric games they fall for you way too fast and the worst is probably the cases of you just being a decent person that gets them to be wet over you. It just does not feel genuine or rewarding.
I think this is more of a problem in wider cast games, since the wider the cast gets the less screentime characters get.
That's a problem with the games themselves, they don't want to risk having too long or involved character arcs since the whole model relies on short term hype, you want people to roll for the new girl and immediately max out her affection and put a ring on her.
I wouldn't mind a gacha where making a girl your wife was a long and involved process with a lot of story and interactions before the payout. All with the condition you can do this with any of the girls, even if by necessity the rest of the cast wouldn't be all over you while you are focusing on the one you like. Unfortunately you're more likely to get that model out of a VN.
This.
You guys are thinking of the old romance systems in RPGs where it takes maybe like half the games story worth of development for the pay-off. Gacha lives off FOTM, so you need to push it as fast as you can before people move to the next one. Of course you will always have people who stick with their favorites though.
Not those anons but tackling that topic another thing that gachas don't do that this could is add more content to characters with max affection or something like that, character bloat and reduced screen time is the worst phenomenon in the genre
AL does this by giving characters EX (post-marraige) lines if you marry them. Maybe we will get something similar in AP if there is a affection system. iirc Genshin does this by unlocking backstory and lines between you and them.

It mostly happens because writers don't know wtf they wanna do with the characters, or in Genshin's case they reserved the screen time to some irrelevant NPC nobody cares about.
Genshin's formula irritates me because it just pairs of characters. Like how if Eula was going to show up Amber had to be there. Glad that is no longer the case.

don't forget to make clickbait thumbnails of how it is killing genshing alongside wuwa and how mihoyo is killing itself with shippers and waifugays internal wars, bro!
All Yuritroons are shipcucks, but not all shipcucks are Yuritroons, I would say. Yuritroons are worse because they think men are "dirty" and "soil" the cute girls.
All Yuritroons are shipcucks, but not all shipcucks are Yuritroons, I would say. Yuritroons are worse because they think men are "dirty" and "soil" the cute girls.
The problem is that yurigays are generally shipgays. They would rather pair off two random girls rather than focus on the player for pandering, so they are naturally at odds with your average waifugay/haremgay.
We must put an end to the Yuritroon Menace.
Frick off, women ruin everything. Yumes are bad since they play for males.
Do yuritrannies actually think people like or even tolerate them or something? You're playing gacha, not Horizon Zero Dawn. Most of the big gachas outside of Mihomosexual hate shiphomosexuals in their fandom.
Interesting, maybe Manjuu wants become a big player by itself. In that case I'll support it (along with Nornium) since it's the only chink company out there doing the right thing. Genshin, WuWa and Mugen can keep their omnipandering public.
pre regs for JP, KR, and EN are being handled by this "JIMI" company based on Singapore while the TW pre reg is being handled by a taiwanese company, CN is probably is only being pre regged through bilibili's store as of now
are they really trying to pull a hoyoverse here?
Not having to share revenue with a publisher might be more important when making these expensive 3D games though.
Very chilling news to be honest, this to me means that manjuu is probably going all or nothing into this and if it flops it might risk the company going under and its not hard to see why they would take the risk, AL is so old now and drying up slowly and manjuu has been entrenched onto this project since AL's 3rd anniversary so its about time it gives some returns, which worries me about the final state of the game as well. So either they went willingly into self publishing or yostar rejected the pìtch. Unless i am over-worrying over technical details we might not be aware yet.
Yeah, this is looking way too big for Manjuu. If this flops things might get ugly for them.

This might be the perfect time though, after the coincidence and success that was palworld and how wuthering waves offers something completely different from Azur Promilia i think this probably will work in their favor.

Pretty bold of them since most would go safe and pick proven publishers especially for a 3D game that takes a lot of money and several years of development time
yeah that's what other developers often see as an opportunity, that proportion of unhappy players could be money for your project if you market search hard enough

People were discussing things until the Mihoyogays showed up to ask questions answered several times in the thread and seethe about self-inserts, harem gays and shill their favorite e-celebs.
No, it isn't. We had plenty of discussion until halfway into the thread, even after the clarification by Manjuu. After that it was full of shitflinging between mihomogays and waifugays/haremgays.
Classic Mihomogay behavior, hopefully all of them will get filtered before the game release. No males in gacha is already a pretty good sign that filtered a lot of them already

I remember how the WuWa threads were full of e-celeb shit. I hope the beta threads for this game will be better.
E-celeb always jump ship really fast to the newest shit to boost their views and goes back to the most popular shit when is a dry season, so i don't worry too much about those annoying homosexuals
Its funny how everyone here only talks and makes comparisons between Genshin and WuWa yet Arknights Endfield is another Genshin clone, was it that bad or something?
Wuwa's combat at least is polished, Endfield combat is similarly slow to genshin's, to tell you that Promilia looks lightning faster than Endfield's would be an understatement.
Arknights feels really pretentiouswith their narrative, heard that you aren't doctor anymore and that the setting was hundred years later after the OG timeline but with cloned operator, or how they mocked the male player or at least one who chose the male pc, is that true?
I hope it doesn't crush itself under its own weight, there seems to be a lot of hype for people that like the formula and the trailer showcased just one zone and then some over head zones but with no npcs on it
Cautiously optimistic.
Nips absolutely yuri undertones with a fem mc and a lighthearted story plus it looks very chill and casual, women streamers will love it and you can just pick the male mc who will get the same feely interactions and pretend they are for (You) as well as yurigays will
Azur Promilia will be a massive hit
Every women eceleb i saw reviewing it actually went the extra mile to look at the web page's illustrations because they liked the potatos and the pokemons so much.
They showed that character have actual panties in the gameplay footage.
If they actually censor and make everyone wear spats and granny panties I won't play and I bet nearly everyone that was excited would also not play.
Can someone how GF2 didn't recover from the raymond controversy? they reversed it as far as i'm aware, but manjuu recovered as fast as they fell when they released the public statement
iirc the initial fix was to just change Raymond to a girl, with no other changes. Which just made chinks even more upset because it just gave off the impression mica didn't get why they had a issue with it.
they actually scrapped and reworked entire events, made apology videos and removed daiyan's israeliteelry and diary.
i think they also give more roll currency
Difference is there was actually datamines for this stuff for GF2. According to Manjuu everything for AP has only been internal, so the leaker having that information to begin with should have called it into question.
>it's still come from a single dude who stirr shits up
Fair, I still think its more believable when he has stuff actually from the game and it is playable verses old ass concept art that who knows how he got.
They took too long to deal with the problem and allowed it to get bigger. Had they dealt with it quickly and didn't show disdain towards their players it wouldn'f have gotten that big.
The game had a completely different team working on the writing too, some who were unfamiliae with the prequel.
How could they have dealt with the problem quickly, if, as you say, the writers didn't even read the story of the first game (in fact there's a lot of stuff that contradicts the events of the first game)?
Game was fricked from the start, it's clear the devs just wanted to make a x-com ripoff and piggy backed of the characters from the first game to get that otaku money. If they have cared, they would have handled the story and characters with utmost care first and foremost, not as an afterthought. And then you have that other mega flop neural cloud. Anyone playing mica games at this point is a moron.

Kinda like
schizophrenia knows no bound
probably some corporate sabotage too
said, it really just looks like them shooting themselves in the foot.
There was also shit like the books controversy. Where adter they chabged Raymond into a woman they added books like The Handmaid's Tale (where women are being controlled against the will by a commander and forced to have sex with him) to the hang-out room. After the complaints they changed the book to one where a commander commits suicide. Players naturally thought MICA was targeting them, since it happened after they chanfed Raymond into a woman.
Yeah, but chinks were resentful towards MICA already and they are generally pro-Hamas/anti-Israel.
The girl from the Raymond incident also gave the protagonist a toothbrush during Valentines. Which made the chinks even madder.

The entire plot of the game is how you disappeared for 10 years and that the girls have their own lives now. Even without Raymond it's hard to escape from the NTR implications. Also GF2 just sucks as a game overall, it has a system worse than Genshit's artifacts.
Scouring some nip videos...nips are also looking positively at AP while pointing out that: >AP being bishoujo focused will set it apart from other open world games >Japan can't catch up with all the foreign studios entering their market with high budget games
Japan doesn't need to catch up because Uma Musume is still dominating there after 3 fricking years and is literally copycat-proof since it has Japan's unique love for its race horse culture backing it. The best you can do is be its predecessor Idolmaster which is still a niche.
Its copycat proof because Nips can patent gameplay models, there was a controversy a year ago of Konami suing Cygames because uma musume used some patented mechanic or something, it settled, don't know how but it did apparently.
They are also still not aware that they its not being published by Yostar.
And i think not being published by Yostar is a big deal, if you aren't with them you are competing against them. I wonder if Yostar knew of AP in advance.
I don't think it will surpass Genshin, Genshin had everything to be sucessful at the time it was released. The industry just isn't the same as it was back then.
Squeenix refused to do anything innovative in that franchise's since it's run by boomers. Maybe if the last founding member finally bites the dust they will start pulling the same shit they did with Final Fantasy
>make malePC only
What? I'm out of the loop. I heard they had to confirm there'd be no playable males in Promilia, but I thought they'd still have a male/female selection for the protagonist. If they don't what I saw must've been two different versions of the same NPC.
So, Manjuu just completely removed and will be redoing a bote based on negative feedback from the community for AL. It was almost an immediate response. Won't be a little edit here and there. It's being completely redone. Harem/Waifu bros things are looking good for you. Haven't seen such a dramatic response to feedback like that in a while. Manjuu have clearly got a close watch on the pulse of their players.
>Manjuu have clearly got a close watch on the pulse of their players.
They don't have a choice at the moment. They're about to release a new game. They can't afford to go into it with month of player disillusionment leading up to it.
So it's just a shitpost and there will be selectable protag? Kinda lame. If I wanted another anime game without full pandering i'd play... i'd throw a rock and pick one of the dozen competitors that started production around the same time after seeing Genshin's success and are all releasing in a concentrated window.

>Endfield
looks really boring right now, this is something only hardcore arknights fans will play if it stays like this.
Wuwa will take all the gameplaygays out of genshin, i think it might kill arknights more than it will hurt genshin
HSR has honestly a better hook and is less tedious than Genshin, it will keep cannibalizing it
Project Mugen unironically looks like a legit Genshin killer in the west, the fluid movement and combat is really nice + the urban setting is quite unique for an open world gacha. Assuming Net Ease doesn't frick up.
Promilia this will be the new Azur Lane, it will be THE new casual game, yet to be seen how they will polish and add stuff into the game to make it interesting i think the competition for Promilia after it releases will be very fierce.
>competition for Promilia
there was an upcoming mobile game called roco kingdom, it's pretty much chang's pokemon but i haven't got any news from them.
I play Arknights but feel like it's a bit stagnated and too formulaic now. All events are the same, even the story setup are mostly the same, the writing padding is way too much.
The main story also moves way too slowly. But I keep playing because of my dragon wife
It feels like wasted potential, what makes Arknights so fun is the cool lore and world. So being able to explore that in a 3D space and actually see all the locations and travel them would have been so awesome.
Instead it takes place in the future, on another planet but still have lots of "Remember these Arknight character's!?" throwbacks, one of the characters is even pretty much a clone of an Arknights characters.
So I just can't stop thinking how much better it would be if it was just "Arknights 3D" instead.
The gameplay itself looks quite generic, the world looks somewhat boring and the Factorio system will probably just have some solved BiS solution.
I hope this game gets a lot of character interactions between each other to flesh out the characters, yeah inviting yuritrannies but its always better in the long run than having cardboard cutout characters dumped patch after patch. I'll take the loss.
I'm pretty sure I saw the 180 stamina counter in their promotional material, so expect the genshit treatment in that sense. But hopefuly the farming, pets and other content isn't tied to stamina and you only spend it on the shitty gear lottery it will doubtlessly have.
So, Manjuu just completely removed and will be redoing a bote based on negative feedback from the community for AL. It was almost an immediate response. Won't be a little edit here and there. It's being completely redone. Harem/Waifu bros things are looking good for you. Haven't seen such a dramatic response to feedback like that in a while. Manjuu have clearly got a close watch on the pulse of their players.
>extra mile
I think this is not only feasible but will also give higher returns, both audiences are massive.
It attracts male yurigays. And then female yuri self-inserters. And then radfem.
radfems don't play female only games with borderline coomer desings like promilia
yurigays are mostly males too and the romance between the girls and the male mc will also unambiguous, also yurigays won't stop shitposting just because the game is hetero, any interaction between two girls will be extrapolated into yuri shitposting
And in any case the female casuals that will play Promilia for the bishoujo will keep itself to other female player communities
>what they do with the fem mc makes or breaks the game for a lot of people
She exists. That already pigeonholes the game into the heavily implied, but not outright stated "I kinda like you" stuff. Fem MC will have the monopoly on all art, shipping, funny, shitposts, etc.
It'll be functionally the same if she's canonically with you at all times throughout all interactions in the story. It'd be weird to have one of a two-pair MC not present at all.
In any case, i'd take it over the shitty things some games do where your PC is a nonexistent disembodied thing that characters only ever acknowledge in voicelines.

You're not following. They're not a two-pair. It's either/or. The suggestion of many a harem/waifu KING is that the malePC be the only PC and the femPC be repurposed as a unit or something at best or outright scrapped at worst. Maybe you're in that later camp?

This would be preferable. Either or it doesn't matter.
It won't happen though and we'll get the watered down platonic stuff for character lines. I've seen the morons that think they'd make two different versions of every single piece of content they create and we know that isn't feasible.

this is something that you will only see get adapted and refined through time as Manjuu understands which audience it has captured more
if there's more waifugays they will start pandering harder with (You) content, if there's more yurigays, casual women etc than expected they will amp up the light hearted story, but as i said earlier, if enough people complain its not out of the realm that they could pander to both separately through both mcs, if both audiences are big enough the costs will pay off
2 months ago

Them pandering harder to (You) will require them to spend the resources to make separate stuff for both MCs. And both MCs will exist because they can't just remove one. It's going to be a hard pill to swallow when they're already entering a market cornered by Genshin (mainly) and other more coomer-oriented gacha. Nikke has a pretty good grip on the underserved sex gacha with Snowbreak Containment Zone taking off the mask recently as well for another and Promilla doesn't look like it wants to play ball.
So the main point of contention over the female MC's existence is that she would potentially be holding back the romantic fanservice?
I can understand the perspective, but the game is already niche as is. Can a big budget open world game survive with an even more niche audience?
>Can a big budget open world game survive with an even more niche audience?
Sure. The focus is going to be on the gacha characters. The dude is another generic twink and the girl looks like the tutorial NPC you'd meet with first in the first new town in an RPG. As long as there's no catastrophic PR blunder right before release the first month will go a long way to recouping costs and hook people.

I don't think the game is going to flop or anything, but I think most gacha don't do dual-recordings because it's not seen as worth the cost. It's not just 2 voices and 8 affection lines. It's 10 lines for every language supported, syncing up a schedule with every VA they want to use, implementing those lines and their subtitles, and doing all of that every time for every new character and maybe some events if they want to hit it hard. I'm assuming it's another largely voiceless protagonist too or they'd have to actual responses.
Every gacha game that isn't grazing the EOS line could probably do it, but they don't.

Doing multiple dubs is a mistake in this case I think, chinks and asiatics love japanese dub.
This is definitely going to affect the number of lines every character has, outside of voiced story cutscenes (and maybe events).
Affection lines and events/dates are looking more and more like an impossibility. Say goodbye to groping lines, and memories/secrets

fem mc seems to have normal lines for menus and combat though as far as i saw in the demo
Manjuu always responds fast to chinks
Two years ago they put up a permanent free pack of resources in the cash shop that refreshes weekly because they changed a mechanic and chonks didn't like.
I don't see any issues with the female mc. A lot and i mean a lot of men play with the female mc just to see girls all the time, cool girls doing cool things is way more appealing in general than all the girls sucking the male mc's dick 24/7, that's not to say it can't have cheesy lines for the characters.
I think Manjuu is rushing to get the game out precisely to capitalize on this moment. Mihoyo's paid and unpaid shills are going to spam thousands of complaints to the CCP as soon as the game goes live, but I think the CCP is more likely to tell them to go frick themselves at this point because they don't want to mess with the gaming industry more than they already did.
They are somewhat based in matters that have nothing to do with developing new game. Even now they are in the process of developing SAO-like VR and fricking nuclear fusion technology.
So the main point of contention over the female MC's existence is that she would potentially be holding back the romantic fanservice?
I can understand the perspective, but the game is already niche as is. Can a big budget open world game survive with an even more niche audience?
It's not a niche audience at all, it's absolutely the main paying audience. The only reason to appeal to normies and women is free marketing, they don't spend on the game but they will talk about the game all day on twitter facebook reddit and wherever else they hang out.
But that market is already saturated and judging by what is happening in China the players that want fanservice and romance had enough and aren't going to fall for another bait and switch like Genshin.
I'm more worried it won't be able to get much of a playerbase due to genshit having already established itself for so long. If the money isn't rolling in then it won't live long due to that big budget required.
So far me scouring the internet for reactions it has remained true that all the women with that watched the promotional videos creamed themselves at the cute girls, the pals and the farming. Idk this game might be huge for women actually.
Incest would be so based beyond measure but i really really doubt it.
>but I really really doubt it.
Manjuu did this shit all the time in AL, more recently the TBmaker where you groom your ow daughter. Pretty based move honestly.
Imagine there having some male NPCs that the fem mc can flirt with, Jesus that would be a fujo money printer without putting a single male in the gacha.
You absolute fricking moron, you think BA and nikke are niche? People fricking love fanservice and pandering. AL is not more popular solely because people have become used to 3D graphics in gacha because of genshin.
>Low budget glorified png collectors
Just because they're good return-on-investments doesn't make them less niche. The upkeep on 3D open world games is going to require a bigger audience. You'll still have your harem, no one's taking that away from you.
>The upkeep on 3D open world games is going to require a bigger audience.
If Azur Promilia would need more income than Nikke, the game that occasionally bumps uglies with 3D gacha games, to sustain itself I would be very concerned.
Those are Mihomosexual homosexuals baiting again, literally doing this shit for days in this thread out of seeth for the possibility of a "genshin" that actually panders to straight males and not massive gays and trannies
Nah it will pander really fricking hard on waifus otherwise it won't be able to compete, and its only going to have JP and CN VA's so high chance they do a lot of gender based voice lines without much budget constraints
I really want to believe that, but we have never, ever seen that happen with this kind of game.
AL is nothing special and didn't invent any new kind of mechanic. For as much goodwill I have for the devs after 7 years, I still will need solid evidence to believe that.
>waifu pandering with a female MC
That sounds like a good way for any of their competitors or Ark Knights fans having a little giggle to mass report them immediately to the Ministry of Culture. They don't have Yostar's hush money to back them on this one.
It's a 12+ game with protagonist gender selection. At most we'll get things like >You are the most important person in the world to me, (Player). >Best friends >Teasing romance w/ flowery language
Yes, but having ambiguous/platonic relationships like this in a game with gender selection and male npcs facilitates the infiltration of harmful elements in the community. This sort od thing has happened way too many times before in chinese games, which is why the subs of this game are full of people worried about this sort of thing happening. >Feminists/yurishippers infiltrate the community >As their number grows their voices become louder >Feminists also have an habit of doing this like reporting content that appeals to male otakus >The devs gradually change the direction of the game to carer to their tastes more >Then they begin to ostracize the harem players and attack anyone who complains about the the state of the game

If a vocal minority can change a game that much, then the devs are incredibly pathetic and weak and don't deserve support.

Just go take a look at the subs for this game on tieba. Tons of posts complaining about xxn (feminists) and blowfish (yurigays), including the majn sub where mods have been deleting a lot of these culture war threads.
Some people are suggesting to gender lock the protagonist to male, but other guys say they don't want to watch a man shaking their butt on screen or that the protagonist is way too boyish, despite agreeing with the first group about the danger of infiltrators.
Those people suceeded in doing this due to naivety and complacency of harem players. There are also cases of such infiltrators being part of the game devs as well.

Okay, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
I was asking if such changes happened during an on-going game because of a vocal minority. Not from sequels or different games from the same series.
But I do understand there's an argument to be made about a series as a whole shifting or expanding its audience over time not being in line when their original game.
The point I was trying to make is that I find it unlikely that Azur Promilia itself will move away from having the option to self-insert and have your harem. It's not going anywhere

Alright, I think I'm starting to see the big picture here.
The real issue isn't the option of male or female MCs, but the potential for shipping of the playable characters with anyone but the MC?
So self-inserters want this reflected in the writing of the game so that none of the girls have any ounce of fondness for anyone that isn't the MC, whether they be a girl or a guy, so as to not be interpretable for shipping.
Am I getting that right?

Definitely willing to become a dolphin on this game if it turns out how I hope it does (lots of sexy waifus and fanservice) but that's a big "if". There's still a lot that could go wrong and recent history of chink gacha releases doesn't bode well. Begging that Manjuu will not make the same mistakes.
They could have zero pandering and you're going to continue to try it out and keep playing it. If you're already considering you might potentially dophin you'll buy whatever their version of a daily premium currency and battle pass is. Let's not pretend.
>If you're already considering you might potentially dophin you'll buy whatever their version of a daily premium currency and battle pass is.
Nope. Only money I've ever spent on gacha is a handful of AL skins because they scratched that itch, which is what I'm looking for here. It may be a surprise to you but not every gacha player is a no self-control having moron.
I think Promilia will have a rocky start, the dev is trying to self publish which is a massive commitment, idk where they got that much money from, certainly not AL only but if my experience with AL serves they really try to do the best they cant to the best of their technical abilities, the first 3 years of the game had very hard fanservice with things that aren't common in the game anymore like retrofits.
Pretty sure the oath change got rolled back.
Even then some of the botes that were “removed” you can still get, multiple people have shown themselves getting Akagi even though she was supposedly removed.
KEK if true. This game will cause 10x more seeth than any other genshin clone out there, especially if they lock the Male MC and let the female one be the main girl or another gacha unit. Hopefully Manjuu will take advantage of the situation and use this as marketing, it will end up doing better than WuWa
>Remove e-girls from AL >When the best selling banner in fricking Genshin history is a e-girl
Is yellow chicken moronic? even the normal gay game make a bank with e-girls
Don't worry. AL is killing itself by removing a e-girl.
I hope the redesign personally is that they're just making her look less like Privaty and more like her sisters. Keeping e-girl, leave the color palette.

It all comes down to Project 2030, the plan to domesticate humanity.
Males, especially straight males, have a genetic tendency to rebel against authority that is not shared by females, especially when their sexual and romantic needs are not being met. They yearn to be fathers, providers, husbands, loved by their wives. With (real) female companionship comes the creation of a microcosm ingroup, one that the male places over the sanctity of the state. This cannot be allowed.
Already, the industrial society that we live in exists to atomize the individuals, separate males and females as best they can to prevent the formation of the familial ingroup. Azur Promilia is the lever by which the romantic frustration of males - separate, but linked to sexual frustrations - shall be relieved in the System of Project 2030. BlackRock chose Manjuu as a backup because of Azur Lane's popularity. Mihoyo was the original candidate, but the CCP's involvement in their operations made them untenable.
By providing this Homesteading Life simulator with creature companionship and a virtual harem, Manjuu's game shall allieviate male stressors and allow a return to productive labor. This is not a cruelty, it is a mercy. The industrial society was not meant for humans, this is the attempt by humans who recognize this to correct the course and allow for humans to remain happy and motivated throughout their daily lives. Azur Promilia is not the only one, but it shall enact the New Standard for Simulated Romance of the male fantasy.
Expect more of these, and fear not for yourselves or your children. You shall be taken care of, as precious puppies being raised in freedom upon the open plain and grassy valley. The controls are not out of malice, but of a love for humanity.

Picked it back up later and immediately had Kazuha's incredibly dry "oh so sad boo hoo" backstory explained to me 3 times back-to-back in 3 separate quests/summer event and quit again. Then I came back for Sumeru. Then I left right after they released the third fricking desert area in a row. I can't bring myself to give it another go.
Yeah Inazuma was bad. Writting only got worse by the time I dropped it.
i really really doubt it, we have to make concessions for this, if anything pray that Promilia funds a new azur lanes with unrestrained breasts and ass
If they had that, dont you think they will put it front and center? The notShinano is about as big as we are going to get, I'm afraid.
I'm more concerned about the absolute lack of e-girls and groping though.
normal women are going to play this game too so manisraelite wont sexualize the girls that much
A lot of girls play AL and they like lewdness (like half the artist are female anyways). The normalgay femoids can stay in genshin with their homos and NTR, this game was always only going to appeal to the otaku crowd.

That one isn't open world, all the animations are canned. They are going to need inverse kinematics for this one, and you can't have breasts or ass that size without them clipping in hilarious ways. I honestly wouldn't mid that, and there is precedent.
When FFXIV added the 2B outfit, the ass was too big and clipped most outfits, so the devs nerfed the ass after a couple of weeks. Player insisted that they liked it that way, so they reverted to the original big butt (the butts in FFXIV are pretty sad normally).
I'm sure they could figure it out. I've seen indie porn games fixing the clipping issue with more accurate collisions or other methods, and this is a multimillion compnay we're talking about.
Frick i will just get it out.
I hope azur promilia succeeds i'm so fed up with oyohim but at the same time like their games that this game is almost exactly what i wanted, i am emotionally invested already.

I've been watching the 12 minutes gameplay demo on repeat. Besides the slow motion effect during combat I dont think it has any downside so far
>tieba genshin board change their pfp to "FAREWELL GAYSHIT" >other mihomosexual boards got butthurt and make posts about it >this incident went trending on the front page and tieba official made a post to explain it to people not in the know >cue further seethe
All this over a fricking picture
They will. Competitors and feminists always abuse the reporting system to get something they don't like in trouble with the CCP.
It's also a common tactic in the gacha/video game space over there. Steal assets and ideas from other games and then try to get their competitor games in trouble through reporting and smear campaigns instead of improving their own game.
How will this game handle coop (if there is any)
Since genshit has a party of 4 and 3 coopable partners I'm gonna assume it will be 2 for AP
I do hope it has guild function
I dunno, Mihoyo were always on the more safe side of things. They just tend to overload their designs for whatever reason. Just look at their "swimsuits"
It will be fine, maybe there will be some server and balance oopsies at the beginning but being all female will pay off in the long run, all the ads will be mommies and girls so that's already a massive advantage over the other male inclusive games and if its some sort of casual friendly game everyone will have it in their radar a side game.
Genshin went through a rollecoaster of ranking positions through the years and its back to number one even after HSR hooked most normalgays so Azur Promilia has everything in their favor to entice players that were initially skeptical.
After all Mihomosexual drama and GFL2 drama that will only cause shit to escalate even quicker. Every time i check on Tieba or NGA people are always shitting on Yurihomosexuals and any gay shit in general
No one is saying that, you seething moron. There are also a signifcant number of posts and threads who were discussing this sort of stuff (and that's excluding the ones deleted by the jannies).
I also mentioned there were people who wanted FeMC as well in this
Just go take a look at the subs for this game on tieba. Tons of posts complaining about xxn (feminists) and blowfish (yurigays), including the majn sub where mods have been deleting a lot of these culture war threads.
Some people are suggesting to gender lock the protagonist to male, but other guys say they don't want to watch a man shaking their butt on screen or that the protagonist is way too boyish, despite agreeing with the first group about the danger of infiltrators.
Those people suceeded in doing this due to naivety and complacency of harem players. There are also cases of such infiltrators being part of the game devs as well.

>Some people are suggesting to gender lock the protagonist to male, but other guys say they don't want to watch a man shaking their butt on screen or that the protagonist is way too boyish, despite agreeing with the first group about the danger of infiltrators.
I've come to terms with the Fem MC, she can stay i think the game is indeed going to suffer a lot with all these player that like picking them since for them no-males is not an issue and often a selling point even.
A lot of people will play it regardless because it will attack a niche of genshin which is casual elements on top of that it looks way more high fantasy than genshin having relatable fantasy races like kemonos, elves, bird girls and the potatos, etc. That alone is really appealing for me at least compared to genshin where they are all just featureless humans.
Another thing that caught my attention is that there are no "weapon types", every character already has a unique moveset with their predefined weapon, so it will come down to customization if any exists.
>Another thing that caught my attention is that there are no "weapon types",
I'm curious if they are just going to have a a character banner and that is it. One of the annoying thing about Mihoyo games is the multiple gachas(weapon, lightcone, ect)
>maybe the top tier pals will be gacha?
That would kinda ruin the Pokemon/Palworld idea of it for me. I would hope they would just be events that pop up maybe once a month for some new rare creature appearing.

I swear there was some thing about "pet" itemization/equipment/artifacts. They had a special name. I assume that's where most of your stamina is going to go. Given that I think some exclusive pets will be the gacha aside from characters.
I don't care about weapons that much but I hope they don't do the same bullshit where they aggressively lock all fun parts of a character's kit behind dupes. Or at least make dupes farmable, Snowbreak uses the Genshin dupe system but you can farm a character to +6 in half a year or so, so at least you can max out someone you really like eventually.
Making them farmable, over events would be a cool idea. Like you get X amount of a currency and that can go towards getting dupes for character .
[...]

Might just be the "domain" or zones you farm gear and what not at.
Tectone just posted a video addressing the leak drama.
He praised and hopes the game stays female only
But the comments though, holy shit, its like 90/10 of people getting filtered by no-males. I'm so glad the filter is working.
>But the comments though, holy shit, its like 90/10 of people getting filtered by no-males. I'm so glad the filter is working.
Good, filter the shitters and we will have a good community.
kek. the no males complaint is so moronic and not only that these people are complete virtue signaling hypocrites, a fricking lot of westerners also play Blue Archive and Nikke, and why? because of its good reputation that often waifu haters still play games because they can't stand the social pressure bottling up their natural instincts unless they are on HRT which most mihoyo fans are onto.
Yeah for fun I was looking around in the Genshin reddit and such and these people are mental. They actually praise when Genshin does censorship and stuff
>They actually praise when Genshin does censorship and stuff
I remember when people were defending that joke of a first anniversary. That is how you know the fanbase for that game had literally never played a gacha game before.
It's more of a general attitude problem towards anti-consumer practices in the west. On one hand you have the redditor bootlickers who will instantly bandwagon anything with "omg you entitled baby the poor corporation would make one less billion if they did the thing you want", and even the average Ganker poster isn't any better because they try to fit in by being ironic and above caring about anything. You get "yeah who gives a shit I'm not some loser who cares about thing deal with it nerd" which has the exact same effect of letting absolutely any bullshit corporations and devs pull go unchecked.
I find it ironic how often the chinese get called bugmen around here when they've obviously developed some consumer solidarity and are able to push corporations into doing what they want while the west eats up shit on a daily basis and is proud of it.

Rather than banner just make her into something like the ZZZ sibling. Also allow the player to switch the from the mc to other characters while roaming through the map.
Until the game drops and we see how neutered the interactions are because of selectable genders nothing will be changed.
But i am sure that Manjuu will remedy it depending how big the blow out is because of the "blowfish" allegations.
Calm your breasts
Frick you. My breasts will not be calmed until I see it. I've been down this road too many times before. I'm in full lactation mode and the tap won't be turned off until. I. Fricking. See it.
someone created one earlier when we got to image limit.
I'm surprised it hasn't been nuked by the jannies because in /vmg/ waiting until page 10 is the thing to do.
The sperg is just hysterical for no good reason
Granblue LITERALLY has different lines for Gran and Dj, i have no doubt in my mind Manjuu will do the same because they know this kind of dynamic, its not that expensive either.
You shouldn't forget the limitations of pandering when you can pick the gender of the mc. But I guess it doesn't matter that much when the age rating is 12+
Just make both playable at the same time, give focus to the male mc in the story, make it skipabble and add incestuous tension between both mcs
literal gacha of the year right there
That'd be cool. Not sure how they'd make it work without a vehicle to get the player grounded in their adventure. Maybe if they made it so that (You) were actually a team of four doing whatever bullshit you're doing.
That would just turn the game into shipshit. The easiest choice would be to make rhe MC into a cameraman, but this is a 3D game so...

I'll dumb it down for you. The adventure has to have a through-line with a character or group of characters to tie you down and embed you into it. The MC doesn't need to be a single character, but they need to be consistently involved. That is why I started talking about a team anon.
If there was no MCs at all you'd have to follow random gacha NPCs while they're actually doing something and wouldn't be able to build a connection at all with how often things would jump around. It would feel disjointed and episodic. Because it would be. This thing can work in single-player games, but this is an open world 3D adventure game. You'll have months, sometimes a year+ without rotating back to characters.

It would also fill the danbase with shippers, which might also affect the game's direction. Even Genshin made quite a few changes due to reports by feminists and shippers having melties over pandering to the player.
>Not sure how they'd make it work without a vehicle to get the player grounded
the plot now is now full harem >The mc send his wives to explore planes and bring him more females to marry.

>game will have sanitized dialog, no pandering, no oaths and people will still fight on who is the real mc or not
No thank you. Either lock the Male MC or make a generic omnipandering game like WuWa
It's a 12+ game with protagonist gender selection. At most we'll get things like >You are the most important person in the world to me, (Player). >Best friends >Teasing romance w/ flowery language
Remember they changed oaths in AL because feminists reported it to the CCP.
isn't nikke and brown dust 2 also 12+ rating and they are still very lewd games? Maybe its just different in Korea? Also reports even do anything anymore in china? I remember genshin being reported for adding that homosexual character Lyney and the Scara situation and nothing happened to them
A significant number of chink players also want to play with the female mc because she's cute. They are simply afraid of infiltration by feminists (xxn) and yurigays (blowfish)
They want to have her playable because she is cute, but her being playable doesn't mean she needs to be a Main character, she could be just another girl from gacha
>Also reports even do anything anymore in china?
Depends on the political and economic climate and what ties the company has with the CCP. Mihoyo is very closely involved with the CCP after they went big with Genshin so nothing will ever likely happen to them and most of their "censorship" is self-inflicted to not upset their fujo playerbase.
After a lot of anti-gaming pushes that added a bunch of age restrictions and that license requirement people keep bringing up the CCP fricked up massively recently by proposing regulations that would have pretty much killed mobile gaming and had to shamefully backtrack on it after stocks started crashing. Since the Chinese economy is not in amazing shape they'll probably keep a very hands off aproach for the immediate future so it's a great time for Manjuu to try to get away with more. Smaller games like Snowbreak are already getting confident and starting to put out uncensored panties and lewd outfits.
>Smaller games like Snowbreak are already getting confident and starting to put out uncensored panties and lewd outfits.
This isn't really because of that. Those devs did the exact same thing for their last game. The way to game the Ministry of Culture's system is toe the line early on and then when you're well established and less scrutinized turn on the lewd. You're fine unless you start getting reported.

The GFL2 situation was the straw that broke the camel's back for them. Ever since them the tension between waifugays and feminists/shippers/yurigays has escalated a lot since waifugays became less passive.
The general opinion of the chinese playerbase seems to be hostile towards yurigays tho. They are disliked even by the people who want to play as female.
Kill blowfish. Behead blowfish. Roundhouse kick a blowfish into the concrete. Slam dunk a blowfish baby into the trashcan. Crucify filthy blowfish. Defecate in a blowfish food. Launch blowfish into the sun. Stir fry blowfish in a wok. Toss blowfish into active volcanoes. Urinate into a blowfish gas tank. Judo throw blowfish into a wood chipper. Twist blowfish heads off. Report blowfish to the IRS. Karate chop blowfish in half. Curb stomp pregnant black blowfish. Trap blowfish in quicksand. Crush blowfish in the trash compactor. Liquefy blowfish in a vat of acid. Eat blowfish. Dissect blowfish. Exterminate blowfish in the gas chamber. Stomp blowfish skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate blowfish in the oven. Lobotomize blowfish. Mandatory abortions for blowfish. Grind blowfish fetuses in the garbage disposal. Drown blowfish in fried chicken grease. Vaporize blowfish with a ray gun. Kick old blowfish down the stairs. Feed blowfish to alligators. Slice blowfish with a katana.
Yes Black person, when the idolmaster collab was added to the game, before the post you linked even happen, friendship tiaras were added to the game for them instead of oath rings. Try not being a fricking moronic ape next time you post something.
Everyone's cautiously excited about what it could be and also dreading what it could be. This game is going to be the biggest wiener tease until we get more details.
WuWa will probably catch some of the gameplaygays, Promillia will probably catch the waifugays/self-inseters. People invested in Hoyoverse won’t budge(shippers)
I doubt it if they're day one players. Once you're invested it'll take something like Azur Promilia with a malePC only to really pull anyone away and even that might not be enough. Some of those dudes have dropped a down payment for a home into the game. It's why everyone is asking Manjuu to reconsider male + female PC. That route is just a less offensive genshin clone and you're not really pulling anyone away with that.
Something like a dedication to the PC, ie (You) (male) (exclusively), in a world of female units is something to play into in an industry that's going harder and harder into globohomosexual pandering. They already confirmed it'll be female units only. If they go the extra step and make it malePC only you've captured a niche that the market has neglected and swept away. There's a lot of money there. They'd be foolish to throw it away.
If mhy sabotaged genshin again just to shill ZZZ like they did for HSR then it would be a good time for ppl to try (not even jump ship) AP
Sounds, visuals, and smooth animations.
Agree. AP at the moment cant compete in term of OST (Yu Peng Chen left a great legacy for his music team), clean animation (AP has too many unnecessary moves in combat like WuWa), environmental visual (even Dragonspine still looks more detailed despite being 3 years old)
It will take a lot of time and effort for AP to catch up
That will depend on Manjuu's attitude towards the players. I want to avoid feeling any attachment towards corpos.
Too many hoyogays are willing to defend anything hoyo does. >Less rewards than last anni? So what, you are a poorgay! >Bad kits? No, you see... (excuses) >Bad writing? No, you are wrong because (excuses) >and may other examples
If it's a rough start because of genuine issues like bugs, technical and performance problems, content delays, I'm willing to stick with it and give them an honest chance at getting their act together, it's their first 3D high budget game and I'm not expecting the world.
If it's a rough start because they try to frick me over somehow or pull any form of bait and switch I'm instantly out. I gave Genshin 6 months of my life and still want them back.
More like Azur Lane killer
See you in 2026 and 2028 for JP/global.

These two in the pic already look great
I like this one from their announce trailer.
so its palworld with genshit artstyle?
pass, its going to be filled with homosexual garbage
This is made by Azur Lane dev.
I just hope Manjuu won't repeat the same mistake as Yonshi did with Aether Gazer.
Yeah and they added a female MC, which means there won't be oaths or (You) pandering like in AL since chinks hate gay shit so now everything's gonna need to be ambiguous to account for people playing as female MC. And you can bet your ass it won't be getting lewd skins either
That's concerning.
Assumptions like this are moronic. I'm not expecting the game to have oaths but Girls Frontline has oaths and you can make the commander male or female.
>going to be filled with homosexual garbage
Yeah, the players
Haha
this
even in a perfect setting like AL these Black folk still show
so something like promilia will end up worse if they dont listen to the feedback based chinks are giving
First Announcement with Pre Reg and everything? I wonder how fast this will be releasing.
Probably beta sometime during this summer and full release at the end of year, unless they pull another Wuthering Wave and redo the whole game because of backlash from beta test.
Sounds good. Is there a preferred platform for these type of games? I heard Playstation has a weird currency system for Hoyoverse games and genshin combat sucks on mobile. Any downside to playing these type of games on PC?
These kind of games are always meant to be played on PC. The only downside I can think of is that PC versions tend to have limited, or outright won't allow you to spend money due to payment problems.
I hope they have the sense to release separate clients for CN and overseas like they did with AL, because some of those outfits are definitely going to get censored in the mainland.
Coomer bros we're SO back
My God, Terara looks like would breed a football team worth of babies.
No playable m*les beside npcucks? I'm straight btw.
you can be male or female. otherwise no not so far
but the fact you can pick means they probably will reveal or add m*les down the line
only games with faceless (male) protags like AL or BA generally get away with all females
Nta but that's exactly what i was thinking if your gacha only has girls then your mc should only be male
Where did you even get the "you can pick main character gender" from. I only see what I assumed to be the FeMC from all the trailer so far.
You can pick between Male MC and Female MC.
This is from their official Taptap page
https://files.catbox.moe/0cnyxi.gif
I think the choice for player character's gender is there to accommodate for two types of straight male players, the type who wants a self-insert man to have a harem with, and the type who would rather stare at a woman's ass than a man's when playing the game.
But that means there won't be any kindof romance because i doubt they will go the extra mile to give the male mc more lines from the character nor go equal and enable yuri because that's usually a big nono for chinese games, it will be completely neutered
thats the sort of cope I remember genshitters running with for the first year
well yeah they were given male mc who looks like he came straight out of homosexual factory.
I remember when we could flirt with Jean, now you’re lucky if they throw out a “for (you)” character that is never allowed to act on her feelings
Yeah. Our best hope is that they cope out by making the FeMC the male MC's sister or something like that.
Hopefully they stop at the MC. Self-insert stuff is where I draw the line. Also overseas characters should be uncensored.
She's so fricking hot.
(me)
Uncensored isn't the right word I guess. More like lewder.
Sexo outfit
Trailer ends with an upskirt pantyshot. Very AL-like thing to do.
>morons complaining about "muh censorship"
>When we get stuff like on the official trailer or things like
Sexo outfit while any other chink game gets censored to shit
Oh and just so you know, the game was already approved by the chinks. These chads actually avoided the CCP censorship and what we are watching on the trailers and gameplay video is what we are getting as the final product. This also means the game will launch before January 2025 so we won't have to wait for 20 closed betas or some moronic bullshit like what the gays at Kuro Games did.
Oh boy the yuri shipshit game nobody wants will launch in 2024!
At least we get actual panty shot instead of some lame ass bloomers or spats. Just hope things won't take a dark turn.
If ZZZ got censored being a 16+ game then Azur Promilia will definitely get censored being only 12+
Mihoyo is moronic and releases their games on a single client. Manjuu has the precedent of AL having separate clients for CN, JP, and Global and they know that overseas players stick around because of uncensored fanservice in the JP and Global versions. It would make sense to follow the same direction with AP and give it separate clients to avoid censorship outside China.
AL only has male MC.
Mihoyo games have male AND female MC.
You do know which groups are pushing for censoring female characters, right?
>Mihoyo games have male AND female MC.
The problem is male characters in gacha not MCs
It's just MHY being a bunch of homosexuals. Aether Gazer has the same age rating as ZZZ and they can get away with stuff like this.
Manjuu is notorious for evading such shit but if this gets popular enough, well...
Heard people call this genshit clone but besides a few characters the designs look more like older jrpg characters instead of genshin/ww chink designs.
is my wife in?
chinese really cant design characters
post good example my guy.
this cope gets posted every time someone criticizes chink character designs
didnt know there were wumao shills on Ganker
Define good character designs
did your chinese boss ask you to type that here?

girls look good to me. wish they had more flatties though
Chinks can make good designs but they either don't sell them or the shitty ones they use on their playable characters make more money because shit taste.

it will, yuri shit is not sustainable
So what? Have you played Genshin or any other gacha with this 'choose your protagonist!' shit? They all end up shipping the characters with each other, not the protagonist, and since this gacha only has girls so far that means the ships will be yuri.
>Writing changes between Male and Female MC
>Female MC they just want to be friends with
>Male MC, they want to sandwich between their yuri
Would be the ideal case, ngl. Who doesn't want a harem where all the girls are in yuri and want you sandwiched between them and their "besty"?
Anon, don't be delusional. No gacha dev is going to voice twice as much dialogue when they don't have to. You're getting one set of dialogue with both sexes, and it'll be 'friendship' while the girls mack on each other during events.
that will never happen, female mc troons will b***h and moan because the male mc gets preferential treatment not to mention the extra costs for doing voice lines for both genders for each character
>Who doesn't want a harem where all the girls are in yuri and want you sandwiched between them and their "besty"?
People who aren't morons.
>LGBTQ
>Yuri
It's a common misconception to have, but the two are not the same. Yuri is not LGBTQ representation, and 3DPD LGBTQ is not Yuri. They are two entirely separate matters, and LGBTQ should not be allowed to coopt Yuri.
Anon, you pretending it's okay for a girl to cuck you with another girl because they're 2D is delusional.
They're not cucking you, they're fluffing eachother so they can be ready to take your D/ arouse you. That's what it means to be sandwiches between Yuri.
>He focuses entirely on the porn aspect and ignores the love and emotional betrayal aspect of a woman loving someone else and having to 'share' them
Yeah your brain is porn rotted for sure.
Tell me how I know you have Two X Chromosomes.
>c/u/cks unironically think that there is a place for them in a yuriship
It makes so much more sense now. Do they not realize that the entire appeal of yuri is the absence of any males in the relationship?
You can't "sandwich" between yuri because the fanbase will ape out as soon as they see a male in the ship.
"Yuri" in a self-insert game is NTR but instead of a guy cucking you, it's a girl because (you) will never be involved or mentioned.
Which is why yuri has only and WILL only ever work with the tacit understanding that they're just fooling around and waiting for someone manly enough to come and take them. FFS, it's an implicit cultural thing that lesbian relationships are "practice" for heterosexual relationships in East Asia, and only special interest groups try to deny it and force western cuckshit into it.

Holy shit I thought so too
i don't self-insert though
Play real games with canon protags instead of custom MC gachas or MMOs.
>custom MC gachas
they're just blank and bland MCs
do we know what engine this is running on?
Godot
kys
why would that question make you mad?
I'm staying on the fence for this one. I know it's from the Azur Lane devs but if you're making your own genshin clone you need normie and underage cash and those audiences don't buy big cleavages or any sort of fanservice.
>China
>underage cash
lol
By that I mean their parent's money, and parents don't buy anime breasts for their children.
There's a strict spending limit and playing time limit for under-18s in China. The age segment may as well not exist.
Wasn't there a way to circumvent that regulation like borrowing a parent/relative's ID or something like that?
Well I sure hope they learn from other's mistakes and avoid the whole omnipandering bullshit, it would be great if Azur Promilia goes the Snowbreak route and focuses on the one and only audience that really matters.
The US would NEVER.
Gotta let the tribe squeeze your kids for all they're worth, because the citizenry are just cattle to the 4th Arm of the Government.
It's kind of a fools' errand to try and pry normalgays from Genshit while it's still in its prime. Not to mention they should have learned from Aether Gazer not to stoop to Hoyo and Kuro levels of homosexualry, especially when Arknots:Endfield will most likely cover that anyway
Yeah this is going to end up like Aether Gazer.
No, this doesn't have homos like Aether Gazer,
Aether Gazer didn't have homos in the beta but look what we got at launch. We can only hope Manjuu isn't as moronic as Yongshi
if this game doesnt get enough flat e-girls, ill be gone faster than you can say blue archive
That's an hag

and then someone shows notshinano and the instant reply is

now frick off
>if youre game was as succcessfull as you claim you wont even need to be here
>now frick off
thats not true. i am actively waiting for a genshin clone with more e-girls. maybe nexon themselves have to do it, but until then, i can invest time in anything that could potentially be exactly that
NotShinano is bland as hell though, you're acting like she's dressed like Taihou
even if you were right, shes still like 3 times bigger than the cowest genshit
And it won't matter when she's just platonic with you because of the female MC, or worse, shipshit. I can already see the """"""affectionate pandering""""" likes being shit like
>Oh MC, you're so important to me!
And lame shit like that
youre just mad its not a porn game
>xe says posting a game that lives on its porn
Relax blud, you don't wanna get cooked up like this I assure you
im sure youre some literary genius thats going to accurately describe the nuance between porn and what you actually want from the game, and then convince me that you definitely dont want porn either. why do you think it gets good porn? because it has good characters, regardless of exactly why theyre good
Yeah and all the girls are for (You) and there's no gay ass female MC option for troons. What's your point?
i guess im convinced you dont want porn now
He's being obtuse on purpose bro, every shitposter is.
Stop avatargayging Hoshino. You're making be embarrassed to be a BA player.
>assuming it’s not one of the hoshino avatargays in /bag/
Im cautiously optimistic for the game, just hope AL doesn’t get the shaft because of it.
Them adding a female MC and therefore wanting the troon and shipshit crowd is shafting AL. They're literally putting Azur in the title too to capitalize off of its name
If anything that hurts it. Plus, why are they trying to attract the hoyoverse crowd? Those people will not abandon their game for this one.
I'm a former hoyotard whale
Yes I would, it's what I've been waiting for honestly
Wuthering world is too drab and boring and the city one looks like it will be shit

There's a male blacksmith in the trailer.

That's exactly what they should do, perhaps even repurpose the FeMC as the MC's sister and go the incest route.
>add customization for male mc
based.
let me play as a hunk you chinks.
Its the best upfront solution and funnily enough the people that will screech about it are people that don't like AL or similar games
even if it's done by Manjuu there's so fricking many red flags on this shit, it's literally just Manjuu's take on their own Genshin combined with Palworld for some reason, leaving aside the cartoony ass pets i fricking hate how most of the girls have a somewhat similar style of face, it's nowehere near as bad as Genshin sure, but frick, this kind of 3D fricking sucks to make certain characters stand out over others, Shalle Ensys, FeMC and the other elf and the nigrette look way too similar, i really dont want another "body_type1-2-3" thing like they do in Genshit, the fricking world also looks uninspired as frick, the big breasts in some of them are nice i guess, but like with Rosaria in 1.2 or what happenned with ZZZ we can only hope that things will stay like that
>but that was on Miho-
at the end of the day it's still fricking chinkslop aimed to Genshitters, and it's gonna be on PS too, we can only wonder wether PS and CN will stay cucked and PC-mobile will be free of cuckery or not, and considering how some designs still look "somewhat safe" i dont have any high hopes for this
Its gonna flop the same way Aether Gazer did trying to bank itself on copying someone else in a over saturated market, poetic since both companies that made azur lane parted their own ways to make their own games.
since im getting confused with the urls im gonna post them just in case

im not sure whats his source (maybe theres a media kit out there and im not aware of it yet) but this moron is posting some artwork that i didnt see anywhere else
i like pic related
after that mc thing being the first announcement after the actual reveal i believe youre right
Or it’s this years April fools, I doubt it though
Is this the first time male protag actually looks ever slightly better than female protag? Genshin, star rail, endfield, zzz all have awful male protags compared to female. Not sure if they botched the girl here or spent some actual time on the guy.
She has a ponytail so I'm thinking no
What do chinks think about it?
The vast majority are redditor like too, naive and actually think or have hopes that it will translate the good things of azur lane onto it
The "Ganker" chinks are saying the same we are saying, incorrect formula for trying to get an audience.
No idea how they can be this naive after Genshit and Star Rail
Mihoyo and Manjuu are two very different companies.
was talking about the chinks
yeah mihoyo are like the chink blizzard, everything they do has to be safe
the thing im worried the most is platforms, of every single official source i checkec i didnt see a single pozzstation logo
if its pc/mobile i have hopes but if the abomination of a platform is involved then the scope of the game will be butchered for sure
Hell I remember when you could molest the shit out of the girls in Hi3, they literally had separate lines for tapping on their pussy or boobs. Shame they stopped all they.
There's zero indication this game is going to include the things that gave Manjuu its good reputation. Namely, the sexy girls, universal for (You) pandering, and generous gacha. So far this game seems to have mediocre, Genshin look-alike girls, zero for (You), and zero indication of a skin-based monetization system (which is what allowed AL to be generous.) There's just nothing good.
big fairy sex
>fairy

Cute!
>barely any traction on other socials
I think its safe to say everyone got turned off by: the genshin combat and the outsiders got turned off by the "from the devs of coomer lane"
Even it sharing 'Azur' feels insulting
The biggest turnoff has been the female MC, everyone is convinced this means there'll be no romance pandering with the girls.
I’m not sure exactly what you people are expecting to happen from that trailer that honestly didn’t show much of anything.
we dont even know if it'll be an actual gacha
this shit is a day one buy if its palworld/crosswave regardless of how shit it is
various levels of skip if its otherwise
a actual game(not gacha) would be a insta buy for me
>we dont even know if it'll be an actual gacha
if the "literally Genshin and Palworld by the botefrickers devs" didn't somehow fricking spell it for you
>pre-registration
>fricking PC, mobile AND PS5
fricking moron
>by the botefrickers devs
yeah the guys who have the best barely a gacha in the industry funded entirely by botes in nicer outfits you might like
>pre-registration
not exclusive to gacha
>fricking PC, mobile AND PS5
that makes the case even more compelling for a potential not gacha
not every game is genshin impact
AL is 7 years old at this point, it’s hard for me to imagine anyone into these kinds games hasn’t heard about it. That’s assuming the audience that is brought in even likes AL as it is.
>That’s assuming the audience that is brought in even likes AL as it is.
This game has nothing in common with AL so it's doubtful it's going to retain that audience.
if they're going to taint their Azur trademark, sure.
Black person, did you not watch the fricking trailer? you can keep deluding yourself all you want, so far this shit looks either Genshir or ToF levels of "Multiplayer"
there's rarity in the gameplay footage.
>got kicked out for tapping three times
GOOD OLD TIMES
>Kiana “wouldn’t be able to do anything the next day”
Not subtle at all, now all that’s left is Theresa and Fallen Rosemary/Rita
>there's rarity in the gameplay footage
well that settles it
I think it showed more than enough
Only time will tell how they will take criticisms, so far chinks are very lenient and unaware of the implications and die hard azur lane fans that were expecting a sequel or a 3d spinoff are probably questioning their loyalty for manjuu
Mihoyo brainrot people, now anything that don't create the same amount of shitposting or clickbait videos as their announcements are considered to be a failure.
Uh yeah? These games are not exactly cheap to dev out so you need somewhat decent numbers to break even, it might be too early for AP but considering the glaring redflags no wonder people are angry/dissapointed or indifferent
>either lgbt yuri shit or completely sanitised shit because of fem mc
Kill fem mcs
We won't know how popular it will get until streamers showcase it to normans
There has been zero marketing for the EN audience. The fact a lot of people know about it it's pretty crazy. But anyway, we are probably getting a beta either on April or May.
Wtf is a promilia
Could be a corruption of "Promila' which is a Hindu name meaning to "Love others".
https://www.myupchar.com/en/baby-names/meaning-of-promila
Sounds like shipshit for sure.
>PC, mobile and PS5
I don't think Yostar (Yongshi) has the capability to port the game to PC and PS5 without problems. Aether Gazer hasn't gotten PC port yet even though it needs that more.
No mention of Yostar being involved in this at all.
welp confirm flop then

Yostar is the one tardwrangling manjuu. The servers manjuu runs are all censored to shit.

Obviously, because they're cuck.

You sound as if asiatics or japs are any different.
chinkwumao shills coming out of the warehouses to defend garbage ass character designs is always funny
first game im genuinely excited for in a long time ngl. i think AP + GF2 will be the new GI + HSR for me. I just hope for Taihouesque girl and for devs to not pussy out completely on fanservice. imagine the possibility of a high quality ecchi pokemon genshin anime harem game. the characters that stick out to me rn are the ara ara white fox milf and the red haired oppai e-girl tomboy
Good for you i guess, i'm afraid that your hopes for a taihou expy probably won't happen unless the game hits rock bottom
Finally Blue Archive of open world gachas.
What does that mean
He means they're going to spend half the budget shilling porn art on twitter.
You say that like it's a bad thing
Not going to happen without Yostar handling it.
to be fair that was pretty fricking based
Certainly better than wasting money for some fricking content creators or streamer awards.
Sex designs and community free of homos and anti dicky screeching.
I think any Korean will take this one as a compliment.
I am gonna pick the female mc and make her yuri
So when will they allow beta testing?
So what are the only alternatives for this game to succeed? we have established that in its current form it pleases nobody
Delete the female MC, import the affection and oath system from AL, ensure all the girls are for (You).
ok but remember that the "gacha market cap" is a zero sum game, if Azur Promilia goes that way, what other games will be affected by this?
Alternatively what if the game goes full omni pandering with no bait and switches?
Omni pandering involves shipshit which is going to piss off people. You cannot actually make everyone happy. If your game has shipshit, people will be upset those characters aren't for them. It doesn't matter if you have a default waifu because not everyone will like her, and will prefer one of the other girls who may not be for them. See GBF and Genshin.
>See GBF or Genshin
Or FGO for that matter. Most people didn't care about Mash, not even during LB6 (didn't help that there was, like, five or six other girls to fawn over during that chapter)
Because the writers have fumbled Mash horribly
>ok but
No buts
If Promilia goes full (You) Pandering:
it will have an edge over the other harem games by being the only harem game with "genshin level" production and not being a menu simulator
If Promilia goes full omni pandering:
it not only will have to compete with genshin on appeal, steady content production and "normalgay" marketing but gameplay as well and it being derivative off Genshin will give it a big disadvantage.
(You) Pandering seems like the best outcome here by a lot, harem game players don't give a shit about gameplay or production most of the time.
>(You) Pandering seems like the best outcome here by a lot, harem game players don't give a shit about gameplay or production most of the time
this but also what they've shown looks pretty decent
it would take relatively little on their end to make it perfect for (you) players and harem lads who already dont need much from whats already there beyond support from the devs and some half decent dialogue and fan service
they did it with azur lane
they're definitely not getting those players if they're going all in on omni pandering and sanitized dialogue
>female MC
There will never be (You) pandering
>If Promilia goes full (You) Pandering
>If
i kind of hope they dont just so i have a good reason to skip it
if they were based i would have to play it and ill be one of those crazy Black folk playing multiple gachas
It already fell below zenless zone zero in the chink ranking for most anticipated
The fem mc is literally the only thing they are complaining about right now, its just a matter of how interest drops after the gacha rates are confirmed
They should act quick, or else the game is gonna fall into irrelevancy like GFL2.
If i knew chinese and had a chink id i would have riled them up hard on chink forums
Manjuu folds easily to chink complaints but i feel like there aren't enough yet
The thing about this is... If (You) pandering doesn't take much to make the players happy then why did they spend so many resources on crafting a 3D open world game when they could have just made some lower effort Azur Lane 2 with barebones gameplay but all the girls slobber over (You) and call it a day? They probably wouldn't make as much money but overhead costs and expenses would be drastically lower as well, increasing profit margins overall. I can only imagine they're trying to reach a bigger paying audience with this game unless they are based and don't give a frick if they're making less money by pandering to (You) coomers
A non png collector where the girls are actually for (You) would be a new thing on the market.
>but ba, nikke
Png collectors as well
Snowbreak.
That one is cursed by literally 0 marketing push and samey, repetitive content during each patch. does deliver on (you) pandering side though
The massive shift to (you) pandering only happened because they fricked up literally everything else, and now it becomes their only lifeline.
I think the gameplay is just fine, pretty good even, and decently generous... Ehh, sorry anon I just really want that game to live and thrive
Man, anyone outside looking at this would consider this a full on schizo ramble, but I get him in a way
They are stupid and think they can steal Genshin's audience of normalgays.
Might as well go all in pandering to the male audience as genshin "female" players are making known that they will not play due to the lack of playable males.
>genshin gets the "female" players and their playable m*les
>promilia gets the male mc and the playable harem
Genshin pandered to them for a whole fricking year with homosexual only 5* and it was the worst the game had ever been
It pleases me (straight male). It doesn't please genshart troons.
yes. the game has to cater to straight males so much it disgusts troons and femoids.
Competing with Genshin and HSR is stupid, you’re not getting those entrenched players to quit their game to come to this one. The players are loyal to Hoyoverse.
Keep in mind Manjuu doesn’t have the income to compete with them yet. This also takes into account Genshins lucky release to catch normalgays during COVID.
If you promise to take all annoying male mc pickers from hoyo games I'll gladly support the female MC being deleted from this game
Honestly I think the designs are pretty good. I have biologically female friends who looked at the trailer and thought the characters were really cute, especially the potatoes. Even outside of potatoes they really like the pals or whatever and the regular girl designs are nice too. The designs aren't overly horny so they don't instantly turn away women while not also putting them all in hijabs either.
Yeah here's the thing, the AL fanbase doesn't want women shitting up the game with shipshit and males.
AL fanbase isn't their primary target audience. AL players will just keep playing AL. They already know you won't quit the game if you've already been playing for years. At worst you will stop spending as much money temporarily in protest but how long can you go without spending on a new skin for your waifus or when you stop having enough israeliteels for more oath rings? They already have you locked to the game and don't really need you spending elsewhere. Just focus on keeping AL alive while Manjuu expands outwards to new audiences
That depends. If AL constantly gets less and less you think those players will stick around when they saw their money being used for things not related to them?
>AL fanbase isn't their primary target audience
Then they will fail. Normalgays aren't leaving Genshin.
I would absolutely play an hypothetical AL 2 if it directly improved in the formula
It will also attract new players that were initially put off by the previous game's weaknesses and recover players that fell out
This
If they go that way then I just won't play it, don't wanna get into another Genshin flavored game. I want a game a 100% for men with very coom designs.
If only the devs weren't chinese it would have had hot incest with fem mc as an npc
Looks very Isekai, imagine if this was Isekai with a customizable male mc only
will this game run well on galaxy s22?
WE dont know sadly. Not requirements have been posted from what i've seen so far.
How long before phones will become as powerful as a 4090 GPU? I'm tired of all this effort put into mobile games only to be held back by shitty phone hardware. I wish we got the equivalent of mobile games but made for high powered PCs.
Doesn't really matter how powerful phones can be when game design will still be based on the general mobile audience.
I'm fine with simplified game design meant to run on phones, I just think that with how much money gachashit makes they can definitely make shit that exceeds whatever slop AAA games put out these days but unfortunately that will never happen because they're held back by phones and common sense because why the frick would they want to work so hard to put out a great product when mobile audiences will slurp whatever half baked shit gets put out
They make money precisely because they aren't making games for the few thousand people playing shit with a $2k GPU.
Wouldn't it stand to reason that the people who have $2k GPUs are more likely to whale and if you make a game they really like they will spend lots of money on it?
PC players are on average older (30~40), richer but less likely to whale due to their internalized hatred towards mobile titles
>towards mobile titles
Which is why they should make games primarily for PC
Unless you meant internalized hatred for micro transactions and gachashit
does this game have feet?
Yes otherwise people wouldn't be able to walk.
What a weird question.
guys, im sure many of you come from AL and so you have a bit of a warped perception. i can tell you right now that the most important thing is that the game just have only girls in it, and the sex of the mc matters very little. if the girls are good, and new ones are released at a decent enough cadence, men will come play it. it is literally that shrimple
anything beyond this like, no we cant have a female mc, or what about the shipgays, is all just nonsense in your mind. even if you have no mc at all, girls can be shipped together merely by being in the same ip, let alone the same specific game. so you should be able to see that your desires have been warped by what you think you want, and want to avoid, based on the things people simply type and post on the internet somewhere. but they dont actually matter. what you really want, is the game to give you plenty of girls you want to frick, and ideally, they get plenty of fanart as well. literally nothing else matters, and the fact that some people out there are doing things you dont like do not affect you. your favorite artist leaving, and the next day another one popping up that does something you hate, does not mean that the latter "came in and ruined your ip and made your favorite artist quit". its merely a coincidence
While this is true and while the all female cast is repelling the genshin crowd so to speak, I personally don't see the point of a female MC option in a bishoujo game targeted to men, gender options in these games are largely a pointless illusion of false choice that only thing it achieves is that the protag is written from a neutral prospective or worse is written like a woman like FE: Engage's MC you can't fault people who want to play a harem game with a protagonist that is written like a boy/man instead of a girl/them.
i agree. though i would add that i play female mcs a lot of the time. not because of any of the usual reasons though, just because i would rather stare at a girls ass than a guys ass while playing all day. having the mc being one or the other doesnt help me insert, or rather, the way i sexualize or visualize myself with girls, lol whatever that means, has nothing to do with the mc. but ofc, i can understand this is not for everyone. its merely a benefit of being me, as i am less... triggerable. the girl i am playing as is not a threat to my sexual prowess toward the cast. do not NEED to look through the eyes of the mc.
still, all that said, it does not really bother me either way. i merely try to argue that the nooooticeoors are definitely seeing things in their mind that arent real, and even if they are, they dont matter as much as anyone thinks. al just needs to give us pretty girls, and we will be happy. if they do not, then regardless of whatever anyone else THINKS is killing the game, is likely just a diversion or illusion. misattribution of cause is very common among our species.
but again, i agree. im not here to say that everyone has to enjoy the game the same way, or that people arent allowed to want their mc be a certain gender so they personally can insert more easily. however, having both genders in the game as mc does not prohibit this. instead, it is a delusion of grandeur that makes them THINK there should only be one gender playable as mc. and, cmon, that is silly. it does not affect anyone
NTA and I completely agree. I tend to see the MC in these games as a completely different character rather than as a self insert so I prefer female MCs because male MCs might as well be the same as rolling for and playing a homo. I can understand self inserting in games that have faceless protagonists that are off screen 99% of the time but it just doesn't work in 3D games like this where the protagonist is a playable character themselves rather than some kind of leader who just gives orders but doesn't participate in combat otherwise
No, I want the game to let me romance the girls like AL.
Gacha MC pandering doesn't work on 3d games or games that have a defined MC depiction, granblue etc
People can self-insert into shotas or feminine male protag (Link etc.) just fine
It literally doesn't work. That's why self-insert characters are good. People mindbroken by the possiblity of other people than them being able to play as a female is hilarious tho.
most guys that would play the female mc in something like genshin for example, are doing that so they dont have to stare at a dudes ass all day. theyre not thinking about how to insert. a lot of males, myself included, dont even consider "how theyre going to insert." i dont insert through anything, i just think about the girl and how id interact with her. putting myself through another character like the mc just seems limiting
but im not here to say youre not allowed to have that, or argue that that way is inferior or crazy or anything like that... im just saying that its silly to think that an inserter is prohibited in any way by people having the choice of sex of their mc
>im just saying that its silly to think that an inserter is prohibited in any way by people having the choice of sex of their mc
the issue is when they offer both a male and female mc the dialogue is neutered and sanitized as a result
self-inserts and harem bros want that fantasy with the all female cast
the all female cast is aimed at a male audience in the first place, no playable m*les isnt going to bring the genshin crowd
they're shooting themselves in the ass trying to cater to an audience that won't entertain them and alienating the one they've cultivated
honestly, that sounds to me more like they just want it to be neutered and sanitized in the first place. nothing is stopping a company from having slightly different dialogues for he and him, she and her. so if youve already decided that you want your game to be for 12+, youre gonna let them be male or female, because the dialogue is going to be sanitized.
but, yes. at this point in my life, believe me, slippery slope isnt even a fallacy in my mind. i understand things only get worse. and the one problem with genshin being so successful as the first game to finally force the market to respond to having a higher quality gacha game, is that it panders to women more. and since humans are incredibly simple, investors will just ask for more of that instead of telling their companies, like manjuu here, to try something new. meaning someone is going to have to break the mold to prove that its even more profitable (female only cast pandering to males, ofc)
i personally wished that endfield was going to be females only, but i was unsurprisingly unhappy at the outcome
the only reason this sucks is because were just not gonna get another game that we want. not because you were "lied to". you didnt put any money in this game, and it doesnt cost money to buy. so its silly to put any stock in something before it comes out. if you did put stock into it, all just so that you could get angry when this happened... why not just not do it?
i simply want this game to be targeted towards males because im a male
Well you did kinda put stock into it if you are a AL player
you have to leave that stock in each game separately, anon
oh im not saying its flick a switch easy, but seeing as the amount of hours and money being put in already, its a pretty small addition. it just takes a competent producer to foresee the whole thing so that it all gets implemented in a rational, cost effective way from the beginning. thats the important part. when people frick up, and suddenly you have to go back, make changes to the timings of the dialogue in game, bring voice actors back out to do seemingly tiny little lines, then youre talking way more money that a company doesnt really want to do. but if you do it from the beginning because you know it makes sense, its very easy to incorporate because the game is still being made and not set in stone
>nothing is stopping a company from having slightly different dialogues for he and him, she and her
Except that it costs more money, especially when voiced.
>MC pandering doesn't work on 3d games or games that have a defined MC depiction
haha...
Rean is an actual character
>games that have a defined MC depiction
Does Yuuki from Priconne count as defined? Because he has quite a harem.
I think he works because he's 90% offscreen unlike Gran or Jeeta
He's like the Nikke MC, has a canon appearance but it is so innofensive anyone can self insert as him
>dolls cuckline
not helping your case
keep going.
Does the game actually have no playable males outside MC or are they just hiding them?
So why is the MC Chongyun?
chinks are starting to catch up on the fem mc implications
absolutely based
Chinks just posted this but I don't know where they got these from.
chinks seem to have "leaked" some male characters in the game, not know if they are gacha or just npcs
I am a straight male but would roll for the Gojo looking motherfricker to be quite honest
Looks way better than any Genshit homo
they can still salvage this titanic if they shift all that shit into customization options for the male mc
just saying
sink or swim
Lol. Alright friends, you all have fun with the genshin impact clone + pals. I'm needed back at port. Peace.
Is that a *gasp* human being with a penis
In the 'sequel' to a waifu game.
What a weird sequel
>just announced
>bait and switch attempt already uncovered
DOA lol
They really learned NOTHING from Aether Gazer
Manjuu didn't learn from Aether Gazer. Nobody want playable male characters.
At least we have a reason for the female MC now. Why the hell do they think pull off the failed bait and switch they tried with Aether Gazer? It's comical how fast the chinks caught this compared to last time.
Maybe AG was the reason they stay on guard this time.
>Why the hell do they think pull off the failed bait and switch they tried with Aether Gazer?
My only guess is that they are really that delusional thinking that they can make another Genshin if they keep trying
>It's comical how fast the chinks caught this compared to last time.
Thanks to GFL2 drama im sure
That's literally Gojo
Post yfw these are going to be ported as additional designs for male MC
Alright. I want them to focus more on the playable girls than I want them worrying about (Me). Make the FemPC a unit and make me Bell Cranel I guess and it's whatever.
That would be cool. They could even pull a zzz and make her a starter character and (Your) sister.
That'd be great. It would take such (relatively) small changes to things they've already got the major foundation work laid for to make the game perfect. Or rather to make it a smash hit and another cult classic undying juggernaut like AL. The players in China instantly raised their ratings when Manjuu clarified some details and if they follow through on the FemPC we're golden. There's riches in niches.
Am I the only man who plays these games who doesn't mind bro characters
Have none of you had male friends before
I swear some of you hate other men more than how women hate other women. Very woman-like behavior if you ask me
You're not, and I don't really care if they have playable males or whatever in this game. If they want to expand and appeal to a different crowd then cool. But it does sting to think about how little work has been done to improve AL as a game over the years, and I hope this game's existence doesn't mean Manjuu is abandoning AL.
how wouldn't AL players feel insulted right now? AL has kept itself almost fosilized for the longest time without some overhauls or expansions because they were making a genshin clone, yet AL players gave manjuu their money in good will only to get a product is not really aimed at them?
Companies can and will make games for different target demographics, it's what happens when they expand. Blue Archive doesn't target the same audience as Maple Story but they're both by Nexon. The problem is when they completely neglect one demographic for another, which doesn't HAVE to happen (Metroid's existence doesn't deny new Mario content for instance) but it definitely feels like it's happening with Manjuu.
This.
It isn't that Manjuu made a game that doesn't directly target the AL fanbase. It's that it feels like AL is limping along and then they unveil this. We recently got the TB princess maker and don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it. I am talking about big gameplay updates or overhauls. It was Operation Siren and that was released at the end of 2020.
if anything, its a testament to AL's success. We aren't monetized like normal gacha's.
Nexon is a literal billion dollar corporation with 2 decades of scams, nobody was expecting anything from blue archive when it released exactly because it was nexon and it was hated
Azur Lane in comparison was maintained by a company that only started with Azur Lane and for 7 years it went through doing its own thing and a lot of players didn't complain because it was chill and very f2p friendly, but also very neglected in its gameplay and character content, so AL players were now icing on a sequel or update that could address the weakenesses of the game and what was actually delivered? A game literally nobody asked for much less AL fans.
homie that's a bait.
Literally a copypasta if I remember right.
uh oh something is really going down right now
Dead on arrival.
It's fricking over.
Yeah, I dunno what Manjuu was thinking
fell to 8.6 in like the span of two hours, yep this is some controversy going off
from 8.8* that's a lot of 1* still
It's still 4 AM in China too. Wonder how low it will go once it's daytime.
Think about it.
Males are written for (you)(female)
Females are written for (you)(male)
Whatever happens, I win and that's the most important part
I really don’t give a shit what happens to this game as long as AL isn’t fricked up more.
Yongshi are the ones that work on the technical side of AL, not Manjuu. From what I remember at least.
Farfie, when is Wappi rerunning.
sensei... questions should end in a question mark. as for wappi, i dont know... you know i dont think about hags very often. honestly... i didnt know if shes even out or not already
>Honestly, I can understand you wanting to expand your audience in the general direction, and I can understand wanting the support of the Beyblade Circle players, but if you want to do the general direction and touch the Beyblade characters, have you ever thought about what the Beyblade players think? Do you know what I think of when I see a character in PV? When I see Nuno I think of Rafi, when I see Telara I think of Naka, when I see Kotenshiro Shinnojo Flam, I think I'm going to start a new journey with my shipgirls in a different world, and my expectations for the game have already been raised to a male oriented one or even a harem oriented one, and now you're telling me you want to make it a general oriented one? Meaning that I spend time hanging secretary ship out of the oath until practiced to the full good feeling of the character to the other world can because of the text of a sentence and other men and other men have feelings and even become CP, this is not to the blue line players betrayal is what? I do not ask for much, you really want to do general to you to touch porcelain Beyblue line of the role of all deleted, belonging to my Beyblue line of moving back to me!
wow chinese fans are vocal right now on the bilibili comments
are they also not happy? can you link the petition?
What the FRICK does any of that mean
Tl;dr
AL player feels betrayed by Manjuu
Didn't know chinks felt so strongly about Beyblade
Translating from chink is weird, what else can I say.
I'd bet the global public reception will be something like,
>chinks are whiny just release it on global we'll suck your wiener harder than them!
>i-i don't mind them neutering the romance options...platonic is fine too
>this is le high production game of course they need a wider audience!
Which totally outed their tourist status lmao.
Next someone will tell me,
>then why snowbreak isn't successful as a WAIFU game?
Alright, let me list a few;
>dogshit optimization and is fricking janky on mobile
>use of stock shading method in a game that supposed to look anime-ish
>change of overall direction late in the game
>bad voice acting direction. even azur lane can control the direction of their amateur VAs
>stiff animations where people expected nikke but in 3d
>no "special" interactions for base models(their previous game let you flip their skirt)
And those are put before anything related to monetization and stories.
>noo you're just a coombrain incel
Yeah, and you're gay.
Snowbreak revenue doubled after they went full waifu though. It's unironically making more than shit like Girl's Frontline 2 now. If anything it's a success story.
That was around gfl2 mass exodus isn't it? I barely see any returning player at that time.
And now they're trying their best to contain(heh) that crowd and even throwing jabs at mica which to me, that looks pitiful.
>This game at least in the beginning is ready to do mixed toilets, there have been people released the official picture background in the background of the male character's setup picture, congratulations to you yellow chicken, become another two squid, by the way, regret why I play the game one after another screwed up.
PV fraud, Maine North two tour, obviously mixed toilet PV only dare to put female characters, and even characters group CP, but also take the Beyblue Route skinning to engage. Why don't you go to heaven? tui~
Mixed toilets is what they call to lgbt stuff lol
I don't get the mixed toilets and Beyblade stuff
Beyblade/bayblue = azur
Route = lane
Mixed toilets = euphemism for american gender neutral toilets or just troon shit in general
in 2 months from now when the dust has settled, and newbies come to ask what the frick happened, we will take solace in the fact that we can simply post "BEYBLADES!!! LETTEM RIP, LETTEM RIP RIP!!!!" as a proper explanation. beyblades killed promilia
Damn
>ratings shot up after they introduced the males
I am never believing anything you guys say again
It was 9.1 yesterday, anon.
You are not very clever are you?
>less rating than the censored game from the most homosexual company
>for a company with relatively well reputation through the years
Grim
>males
Just feels like the game loses something that set it apart from the other Genshin-likes.
>I hope to give out internal packs to Beyblue level 127 and above commanders. Oh yeah by the way to add, male/female choice can set the female lead to be the male lead's wife, wouldn't that make everyone happy? Let's wait for you to correct it
These people feel a little entitled don't they
Nah. They can choose to not play this shit and it'll EoS in a month.
I said a little just a tiny minuscule bit entitled
Nah. They're doing great. Godspeed to them. Maybe they can convince them to fix this shit before they launch a DoA turd.
The people who played the company last game and paid money for it expect their next game to pander to the same audience, yes. Only natural.
They are not entitled to my money or my goodwill either lol
>Isn't it just male V beats and a piece of furniture this time? What's wrong with that?Why don't we add a lesbian next time? A few times a shipgirl will have a life of her own.
They are reviewbombing AL in tandem lol
>A few times a shipgirl will have a life of her own.
Average gacha player worst nightmare right here
why is a life of their own a bad thing? It worked for Arknights and Genshin
You wouldn't understand
>why is it a bad thing in a game where the 600+ girls all love you without question for it to suddenly stop doing just that
Because she's meant for me. She's not supposed to be venturing else where without me. Its a waifu game for fricks sake how is that hard to understand?
Players also have wallets of their own.
You need to understand that the kind of waifugays that hate the mention of any other man existing in the world are deeply emasculated gooncels
Even in a fictional anime world their self esteem and opinion of themselves is so low they cannot imagine themselves being able to be superior to any other male and so they automatically assume that if given a choice their waifus would 100% leave them for another man
As incels they also have a deep seated hatred of women and as such cannot trust women to do anything right which is why the mere existence of another man in a waifu game is enough to make them seethe because they automatically assume their waifus will cheat on them with said man
Tldr waifugays are more deranged than even idolgays
At least idolgays trust their oshis to not be fricking backstage
Waifugays cannot operate if there is any possibility of the world not revolving around them
Trvth nvke. These homies won't even be able to handle a normal game with waifus
>You need to understand that the kind of waifugays that hate the mention of any other man existing in the world are deeply emasculated gooncels
Or you know, maybe they just want what they're familiar with. What they like (harem fantasy). What they came into with Manjuu in the first place. No one likes a rug pull. But I dunno I didn't read your verbal diarrhea beyond that.
Azur Lane has males in the story. Nobody cares. People are worried about males in the GACHA, and the shipshit that'll bring.
Don't disrespect dad like that.
>Post literally saying Azur Lane players are okay with dad
>Disrespecting
?
misinterpreted what you said, oops.
This. Dad's based. No one minds males in the story or in the world. The fact that he tries to frame it like we want a world of only women is reductio ad absurdum. Maybe he's projecting or being intentionally obtuse. Maybe he's stupid.
What about Mr.Raymond
Raymond was mica being absolute morons, not even nikke has shit like this and is full of male npcs
You just said you didn't mind male npc's
He's alright. I grew up with Mr. Risar though.
he said mr.raymond not rayman
I don't know who the frick that is my guy, I'm not a gunkek.
how would you know hes a gunkek character then? moron
Because multiple posts bring up the sentiment? Black person? I can read. I still don't know who the frick that is so I couldn't personally tell you if he was alright or not. Savvy?
Peak of micas stupidity its a dishonest example hes doing the israelite thing
Dad in AL is completely different than Raymond.
It's funny too, the game literally has mom tease dad about how he obviously designed all the girls to fit his fetishes and nobody minds because he's just dad, he's not trying to romance any of the girls, not even the Sirens.
Zero, Tester, and Observer are pretty blatant with how they feel.
>Zero
Well the new system lets you upgrade her from wife to daughter-wife.
>being intentionally obtuse.
They always are.
Speaking of the devil, projecting aren't we?
>Wow game looks good, I'm excited to try it
>Out of nowhere "cucks" "yurigay" and even "Raymond"
Sure thing buddy.
>Out of nowhere "cucks" "yurigay" and even "Raymond"
I didn't say any of that
>the mere existence of another man in a waifu game is enough to make them seethe because they automatically assume their waifus will cheat on them with said man
That's what happened in Genshin and GFL2.
bro... divorce rates are above 50%, and 70-80% initiated by the woman. thats not just a man being emasculated or not, thats women doing what women do. theres a reason humans are programmed to be jealous, "overbearing", skeptical, etc
Yeah those are real women aka prostitutes
There is (or should be) a difference between 3dpd and anime waifus
You have to be really broken to think even your anime waifus would cheat on you if it isn't explicitly mentioned by the devs themselves like in GFL2s case
oh, thats easy to agree with. but men being in the game means literally only half the amount of girls will be developed, and especially for games like genshin where the cadence is much slower than say, blue archive the best gacha ever made for girls to jack off to, it will way too sparse. no thank you, i will quit and play the game that is exactly the same but only girls on day 1
>ever made for girls to jack off to
yuritroony huh?
I dont think you understand what he meant, I don't think anyone will understand what he meant.
> but men being in the game means literally only half the amount of girls will be developed
???
A game can have male characters without forcing themselves to be 50-50 split
dont most have basically a 50/50 split?
no idea why my brain typed girls. guys, obv
Both HSR and Genshin are around 1:2 in favor of girls
well im just taking your word for it. but even that, with the slow cadence it has, and given its more than just a 2d sprite with a few poses/emotions as would be classic in gacha, and then tack on the fact that a majority of the girls are hags (this part just personal preference though), yeah, id find myself on blue archives genshin clone once it comes out
making fun or do you fancy yourself a philosopher?
why are you still here?
I don't see the point in this unless they take a clear direction change with AL...which hasn't happened in 7 years now.
because they used AL money to make something so insipid while AL stagnated for years?
it is pretty funny seeing the fanbase betrayal of het men losing their shit with the bait and switch in the pv, just like how yuritrannies lost their shit at blue reflection self-insert
still not gonna play this game tho
GFL2's Raymond shit is the last straw for straight male gacha players in China. Either Manjuu course-corrected like Snowbreak or AP is DOA.
Isnt Snowbreak that game where they had to retcon 2 girls being normal friends
And remove a male playable char from the beta if I remember right.
Which character is that?
OR we wait for Nexon to branch Blue Archive into an open world shooter
im waiting for that as well either way
Kinda crazy how YZ constantly finds himself the epicenter of a major controversy in the gachasphere in China. Like almost everything happening now can be traced back to Mica, it's unreal.
Yeah, I play Snowbreak and they've really turned the game into a full blown for (you) waifu game now, with the coom skins to match. Every developer is treading carefully after the GFL2 debacle and more recently, the HSR shit.
I'm personally fine with yurishit as long as the girls are very, very willing to have a threesome with the MC, to the point it feels like polygamy.
it's not really yuri if they are willing to include a male
I guess, but the fact that they're introduced like that makes it hotter
What
said. I don't think I've ever seen a game implement that in a satisfying way, ever.
Anyone who's actually had the misfortune of interacting with actual yurigays knows they're vehemently against depiction of ANY males in the ship. They've sent death threats to an Genshin yuri artist for drawing a straight ship and made them take down the drawing.
>
It's not about the yuri itself but about the fetish. See pic rel.
The truth is either someone must be killed by a schizo or a company must go bankrupted to course correct the omnipandering direction chink gacha is taking.
There is no other choice. Either blood must be shed or hundreds must go unemployed for these devs to realize who their masters are.
>Attempted murder on Da Wei because of the Global Honkai anni with the bunny girls
Already done, we see what happened there.
>GF2 abysmal sales
If nothing else, the CCP might be less willing to intervene this time-might even look the other way. They probably still kick themselves in the back over letting Dawei live
>Already done, we see what happened there.
What happened is the schizo didn't succeed.
I mean more so that we haven't seen any sort of fan service like the bunny girls out of hoyoverse since.
>the schizo didn't succeed.
that too
Curious to see what Manjuu does, we'll for sure see more info about it during the AL CN anni stream in May. I would be surprised if they waited that long to say anything though.
>comment 47 minutes ago
>reply? 1 day ago
Huh?
Also what is the reply even talking about.
its google translate, take it with a grain of salt, chink tl is very hard even for machines
Are we really using comments from Bilibili as a source of how this game is DOA? I would like to invite you to read the launch comments for Genshin and Star Rail. The chinks were really salty Mihoyo made a new game that had males and were abandoning Honkai Impact 3 (a female only game).
mihoyo is massive, literally too big to fail this game was funded by a niche playerbase for a small company in relation to the market, there's no mass interest on this yet or will be at this pace
Back when Genshin launched they were ready to sell the company and become a public entity. They weren't massive at all. I can assure you that if you do a tiny bit of research and read the comments on Bilibili of when Genshin was about to launch you'd find way worse shit than whatever is being spammed here.
lets be honest, genshin impact was too far from a botw ripoff as people claimed and multiple factors made it massively successful at the time, AP has none of these plus is a genshin carbon copy
Hi3 and AL are vastly different games and communities. Mihoyo never really abandoned what they did in Hi3, so far AP has abandoned what AL is.
Hi3 and AL communities are pretty much 1 to 1. No playable male characters, the characters are all for (You) in all the non-story interactions. Hi3 had the same touching system were you could molest all the female characters. The main character is (You) and you are a guy who commands all the females in the game.
No, not even close. HI3's community has always been yurigays and the events where (You) exist are non-canon. ALL their social media presence reflects this, even the doujins or fan art.
Lol, you are being confused with how the community is now. I'm talking about who the playerbase wass and currently is in china. Western gays don't count. You are talking about the community that wanted to kill the CEO because they made their wives "impure" and "prostitutes" for making them dance for (You) wearing bunny girl outfits.
If anything, the subreddit of Azur Lane seems pretty excited for the game and so does the people making comments on YT. So how come the only ones having a melty are the chinks on Bilibili? It's literally a 1 to 1 to the Hi3 community.
No. Even Mihoyo itself can't stop with their shitty yuribaiting. This is most likely why Kiana never took off as a popular character.
>subreddit
LOL
Anyway, I don't see this having a future. They didn't learn their lesson with Aether Gazer and this game will kill them for good.
Aether Gazer is absolutely fricking dogshit. Don't bring up that dogwater game as an example. The devs weren't even Manjuu moron. But I guess that doesn't matter if you just care about doomposting.
He is probably talking about them because the devs of Aether Gazer (Yongshi) also work on AL.
They literally did the same bait and switch, the only difference is that the Administrator's sex could not be chosen.
Aether Gazer not only came late to global, it was mobile only. It wasn't made by Manjuu, it was made by Yongshi. Yongshi isn't Manjuu.
No, we don't have anything yet. It's unironically schizo posting by the same morons who are trolling GFL2. Micca already made changes for like a month now, so the schizos just found a new target to moan and shitpost about. I repeat, there is literally, absolutely literally fricking nothing that implies that this a yuri baiting game or whatever the frick these chinks think it is. I wish we could somehow nuke these Black folk because rather than giving anything a chance, they shit on it before it's even out. Happened with Genshin, Star Rail and now this.
From your post I get you don't understand the core issue yet are keen on giving your 2 cents. I suggest you frick off.
You are literally on here to shitpost about this game, derail conversations about people interested in this game and tell any anon that they are cuck for wanting to be excited about this game. The only person who should frick off is you mentally ill Black folk. Back to /alg/ to circlejerk about your dying game.
Aether Gazer is just a lot of questionable decisions.
No PC client (supposedly in the works but how long has it been since the game came out?), no simultaneous global release, and even the genre they picked.
I don't think the game differentiates itself enough from Honkai and PGR to stand out and do well.
We've yet to see how a competent Genshin clone can do (ToF doesn't count) so it will be interesting to see how this one pans out.
>the characters are all for (You) in all the non-story interactions
Depending on the character they are for (you) in story too, we just got an event last year where one of the girls tells you she loves you in poetic Nip (AL)
>The main character is (You) and you are a guy who commands all the females in the game.
This only applies to Capverse in HI3.
>the characters are all for (You) in all the non-story interactions
All of the girls are for (You) in the AL story too, any time you're around or come up in a conversation the girls more or less start openly ovulating.
>Bismarck, Soyuz, and Clemenceau in the most recent event
>for (you)
Indeed
Those salty Bilibili comments were also in the Girl Frontline 2 page and we all saw how well that game did. Fact is Genshin did good because it was an open world 3D game that came out at the perfect time where people were locked down. People who don't mind Mihoyo's omnipandering just play Genshin now, most of them aren't going to drop it to play Azur Promilia, so trying to pander to that audience is not likely to do well.
It's so absurdly funny how someone goes crazy just because there's a guy in a game
Well normally I wouldn’t care but CN players can do A LOT of damage so their reactions and chimpouts can’t be ignored if it leads to AL getting genuinely killed too soon
brutal but true
Pretty much what he said. I tried Genshin and the gameplay loop just never appealed to me. Sure I liked maybe 3 or so characters, but what is really the point of trying to talk about them when like 80% of the community just wants to talk about ships or inject their headcanon into any actual discussion about the game.
chinaman schizo kino
they are starting to wake up now i'm being pushed several pages back every minute
LMAO
i think "mr. hat" is the green hat they use as cuck symbolism
What the frick is Northern Myanmar?

Okay
5 stars yellow chicken game
Female protagonist -2 stars
Male character -2 stars
ML (male lead? Not as tall as the female lead I assume) - 5 stars
This is a -4 stars game
>ML (male lead? Not as tall as the female lead I assume) - 5 stars
reminds me of the shit in HSR where people complained that Stelle's lance was bigger than Caelus'.
you know for all we know those dudes are npcs or story characters like bosses or something
i get the panic i guess because they could also be playable
This is kinda the problem with how little info on the game is out.
fair and true
It's a possibility, but it's good that there's pushback this early. They need to get rid of the FeMC anyway and make the dude not look like a homosexual, hopefully with customization (tho I can accept a Goblin Slayer faceless badass).
truth nuke
changs are so funny but i think i will stop now
How many of these changs even play AL
It really reads like a bunch of tourists who are just shitposting manisraelite because its the new hot topic to shitpost about
yellow chicken = manjuu by the way
>you can't have your cake and eat it too
Is this an idiom they borrowed from English or is the MTL actually localizing an idiom properly instead of just copying the words verbatim?
Aoste in azur lane is just a flashback because he's long dead by the time of the game's events
Actually he's in the future, it's you flashing back to when you were in the future.
If we are being technical here, Dad doesn't exist yet in the games timeline. Except he has interacted with at the very least the Sirens and they are from the original timeline.
azur prom
huuuh
This is a nice new game you got there...
Is this the most powerful gacha character? He literally never made it to release and yet already killed his game and has influenced the entire gacha industry into an all out conflict.
I KNEEL RAMON SAMA
Mica's never gonna be able to release another game again, are they?
I surprised the studio hasn't dissolved yet.
Current rumor is they fired the GFL2 writing team and moved GFL1 people on to salvage it.
>Current rumor is they fired the GFL2 writing team and moved GFL1 people on to salvage it.
This was the whole problem in the first place, why the FRICK would get people who have no clue about what goes on in GF1 to write the sequel?
I think half of this shit could have been avoided if they didn't use "Azur" in the title of the game.
even without azur, the dev(manjuu) is already known for male pandering and so is their fanbase.
I know, but I feel like leaving it out lessens the expectations on the game.
I wouldn't play another flavor of Genshin no matter the name
i dont know about you guys, but im not just gonna start believing posts on the internet. ill believe males are in the game when i see them, and im willing to bet they wont be
You can see a male blacksmith in the trailer.
oh NO!!!!!!!! the blacksmith is a DUDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Which is why people can easily believe the uncovered concept art of pretty boys are for playable units and not NPCs.
but you dont know its real
and manjuu hasnt done this before. theres no reason to be upset. and then even if it has dudes, oh well, dont play the fricking game, wtf
anyway, ill take the bet if you want. put your money where your mouth is
>but you dont know its real
The chinks think it's real, and at this point their opinions are the only ones that matter.
>Dude just don't play the game!
>Dude just be okay your money went to fund shipshit!
No.
why does someones opinion have to matter? noones opinion matters, theres no reason to believe any specific thing the company isnt showing you specifically. and you giving money to other manjuu games does not mean you get to pick what the company does going forward. if thats what you want to do, become an investor
>Nobody's opinion matters
Tell that to GFL2.
im not saying people arent allowed to voice their opinions or concerns. im saying theres no reason to believe anything anyone says until the company makes a statement. youre getting worked up over it because you have nothing else to do
who i have my trust in wont make ba do anything different... what does this statement even mean? actually think about what youre saying
autosage takes ages here you can keep going or go back that's your choice.
when blue archive goes to shit because you decided to put your trust on >nexon your opinion won't matter either
Try saying that to Black folk who have to rewrite the entirety of WuWa. Chinks are incredibly sensitive
What happened with WuWa? All I remember was some hot black-haired chick was changed to have red hair at some point and that was disappointing.
Never mind, found some articles on the topic
Are BAturds this obnoxious like this avatarhomosexual?
Always
Yes, BA fans are some of the most obnoxious gacha players
t. BA fan
can't believe i fricking fell for the meme where they said vol 3 was peak writing.
Can it hit 7.9?
i think so, very easily within a day
it could
if they fix the issues it'll also shoot right back up to the top
as bad as everyones shitting on it they still give it the benefit of the doubt
GF2 is 5.5, have in mind that chinks are absolutely brutal in their scores and AL is one of the highest in score at 8.7 (right now), BA is 7.7 even, that's how much good will chinks had on Manjuu, AP can go as low as 5 something if manjuu doesn't speak up
because Manjuu has 7 years of good will behind them
just ignore the baBlack person and the genshitter
>from 9.2 to this in less than a day
not sure if testing the waters or just moronic, what did they really expect? they cant just always claim they had a asiatic feminazi trying to do a 9/11 in the team
yeah thats the thing, al has( used to? didnt check the current one) highest user scrope in bilibili which is the only relevant one
Minotaurs?
/jp/friend fancy meeting you here
I wouldn't have played this if they didn't show the dual sword wielding black twin tails pointy ears chick
She is pure sex and I will play and whale on this game for her alone
>next banner
>new one but with bigger breasts and better personality
break out that credit card boyo
this one? i dont think i saw anyone with black hair and twintails, this one is dark blue and has little pigtails which i wouldnt call twintails
also im 99% sure this one has a weak backdoor
dude
oh the pitbawd
also looking at yours im pretty sure there are two sets of models: the real ingame ones and the ebin trailer ones(pic related)
i downloaded both in og quality so im gonna check again just in case
>pic
I can see twitter and reddit already
oh shit never mind
Christ
I really, really do NOT want people like this in the fanbase.
chink gamers are fricking bros
bless your quest you magnificent bastards
Why do chink devs insist on learning the lesson the hard way and having to have their hands forced to actually deliver a product their fans want? Is it that hard to understand what your fanbase is after running a waifu game for 7 years?
pretty sure it was a gambit manjuu was willing to take, a very moronic one considering their fame and what people wanted from them, we will see how they address it
shit, couldn't resist, they are going hard
>blowfish
>xxn
i need translation for these
blowfish/pufferfish = yuriBlack folk
xxn = feminists
probably fujos and yurigays if i understand it correctly
You know.
They could fix the MC problem by making MaleMC the canon and the one who handles the conversations aka Paimon while the FemMC does the hard work and the one who can be controlled aka Lumine.
You mean like they do it in ZZZ?
FemMC ain't playable in ZZZ right, just like the MaleMC?
If you select the guy it's the girl the one who does the talking, if you select the girl it's the guy the one who does the talking. That's how MCs work there.
Well in my case you can't choose MC and FemMC like your starter character.
that's a good idea actually, but is the other playable as well or do they just pop up in cutscenes?
just cutscenes
take into consideration that very few people are actually complaining about it being a genshin clone, they just want an harem game and have raymond ptsd
not sure how a genshin like true harem game would perform but alas, i'm going to sleep
ofc it would be successful, and theyd be moronic to not "stand out" in such a stupidly obvious way right now. do it before someone else does and take the male audience
Waifu game players don't care, that's why AL still pulls millions per month 7 years later, it would undoubtedly be something "new" and if they don't make the gameplay loop moronic it could be the chillest waifuge ever.
They are releasing this game to a saturated market. You need things to stand out from the others to garner the audience. If you don't why would they leave their game to play yours?
Snowbreak really has the opportunity of a life time right now to capture all these refugees. It's too bad they're too much of an amateur studio and have no budget.
I'd play Snowbreak but I hate bulletsponge gameplay. Still, if it can make a comeback like Blue Archive it'd be good news indeed.
Now that you put it that way yeah Snowbreak can easily rebound.
Boy, imagine losing to a GFL clone that didn't even have famous devs or the backing of a major company, unlike the ones that kept eating GFL's lunch (though it might be stretch to call them GFL clones, the ones I'm thinking of)
Chinks rioting is always top tier entertainment.
Surprisingly good thread, nice gacha study case.
https://weibo.com/3975501094/O676PxQnK
i found the source of the m*le images, looks like nga leeks so it might be legit
Manjuu has a track record of quickly falling back at an angry chinese mob so i could see them transforming the female mc into a npc or free character at the very least. We will see.
She's gonna turn into our sister who is extremely loose
Incest undertones would absolutely make the game go to the moon.
Indeed
>flirt with dozens of bawd, let her watch in anguish every single time
>still put my first oath ring to her anyway
yeeesh
Fem MC has pretty nice breasts too
Fingers crossed
Stop. I would not be able to handle it.
I think you're confusing the schizo complaints here with the chink complaints.
No? That's exactly what they're complaining about
I can't believe I'm considering picking up Snowbreak because of this thread of all things
it picked it up last week, its on PC so that's 1000 extra points in favor, its ok for me so far.
You should try it at least. It's pretty good but got boring real quick. and i fricking suck at tetris.
I'm 2 months into the game and I think their heart is in the right place but you can clearly see the effects of not having a major company back them. They have one of the best dorm systems I've ever seen in any gachas with a lot of potential to expand.
They've got the blueprint to be a great waifu game but lacks the depth to retain the players to keep coming back.
Snowbreak crippled itself with the horrible mix between TPS and HI3 gameplay. You can tell they are struggling to design skill sets and mechanics for new characters because of the limited options they have when it comes to character fighting styles.
https://twitter.com/AzurPromilia
i found the eng(global) account, seems never than the other ones, feb from this year
This is kinda worrying if they are actually self publishing globally, Yostar is the best publisher they got and could ever get.
It just looks like Manjuu is trying to expand the company as a whole. That being said it reminds me of Hoyoverse.
There's @AzurPromilia_JP (TW, EN, KR) handles created last year, these are the same handle yostar uses, idk if the one you found is legit or just held by another person.
i was lurking kasugoddess account since terara(the redhead) looks designed by her, she didnt retweet but only liked this post
https://twitter.com/denfaminicogame/status/1770384781773279294
https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/news/240320n
and i found good info that was mentioned in the 15min video
>According to the summary of the video posted on the overseas video sharing site "bilibili," it was announced that the game's music will be composed by Kawai Kenji, known for " Mobile Police Patlabor " and others, and Nishiki Yasutomo, known for "Octopath Traveler. "
>yasunori nishiki
He composed the soundtrack for the first azur lane anime, and it was the best thing out of the entire anime. The anime was dog SHIT
i didnt play octopath but yeah he was also part of the cygays team for the music part so at the very least that part is in good hands
and yeah bisoku is the only canon anime
Are morons already seething because this is not just another generic "self-insert MC (you)" pandering game?
There's countless of games for you already if you want this, just play those.
>just play those
Nyo!
You can go back to genshin and also play wuthering waves too
Bratty manjuu thinks they can branch out right under my nose!?!?
Needs review bomb correction!!!
Just play Hoyoshit if you want omnipandering
You might have had a point if we were talking about anyone but Manjuu.
There's countless games that don't do the (you) pandering too. What exactly is your point here?
Name some proper gachas that do this
I can understand this somewhat, would probably have been better if they didn't name the game "Azur _____" and something totally different.
Its less about the entitlement and more on how the dev has a reputation of a harem game and how they have betrayed their first born.
>unironically replying to Gankereddit bait
i had the feeling this board was sligthy above that, looks like i was wrong
This thread is full of tourists from other boards.
It's Manjuu's new game and the shitposters of Ganker, their collective axe wounds almost tingle for the sake of the bote game that constantly buck breaks them. They came from all corners. Or that's just the rot setting in. Either/or.
More like the chinks found out it has a female MC and males in the gacha so they're pissed, unless you think 'Ganker shitposters' have something to do with
You're not following.
If they released a competent 3d sequel for azur lane to keep themselves more fresh and THEN pivoted to the genshin gambit there would be zero controversy right now, they had the resources all this time.
I want to know if they had the ability to make a actual in house dev team, why are they still using Yongshi to do the technical stuff in AL?
No yongshi has been credited for Azur Prom so far, so probably not. And vice versa for Aether Gazer
That's what I mean. This looks to be a 100% Manjuu thing. If that is the case, why can't Manjuu get devs to work on AL and kick Yongshi out. Maybe we'd actually get game updates.
We don't know the dynamic between the two for azur lane really. We never heard from Yongshi for something related to Azur Lane, they might partly be holders of the IP as well, who knows.
It's way easier to keep the status quo going on so you can focus your resources and new hires for the new, bigger project.
That then bombs and wipes out all your money.
the plot thickens
wow
I cannot read chinese do you have a translation or a explanation for this? The only thing i can figure it out from this picture is that is a bunch of male characters in the concept art and poster
God speed chinks
What are we suppose to see here tho?
Chinks hunting for proof of males.
So they really did it huh, it's gonna be shipslop
Apparently this is what being circulated by CN
>There'll be AL Expys like Illustrious/Taihou/Enterprise
>Bad news: Some of them are coupled with other male charas/pushing for shipbait
>Information on the leaker: Involved in alpha testing for multiple games for different companies, leaked information on GFL2 months before there's any sparks of drama (drama did not come from his side, people found his posts after the drama started), leaked that there will be male playables in Azur Promilia before the image leaks happened.
If this is true than this shit is GFL2 times a hundred lmao.
>There'll be AL Expys like Illustrious/Taihou/Enterprise
>Bad news: Some of them are coupled with other male charas/pushing for shipbait
What the frick are you even doing, manjuu?
I don't mind them going full moronic with this shit, at least the ensured shitstorm from them fricking up this hard would be gigantic enough for them to redo the whole game.
>the ensured shitstorm from them fricking up this hard would be gigantic enough for them to redo the whole game
Let's sure fricking hope so. I really don't wanna see even a single bote expy fall for anyone other than the guy I'm playing as.
Lmao so this is what AL players have been funding?
I just refuse to believe this, this literally won't happen. It can't
btw that was taken from reddit for maximum credibility
seems like this was debunked
>>>/vg/
>It's just one bro!
>It's not even a relationship she just wants to be in one with him!
You don't even see him in the game so why does it matter
This is gonna be Raymond all over again if this is true, so it can't be true. They aren't that dumb
>They aren't that dumb
It's 2000+24
We're in a decade of dumbhomosexualry
Now we can see how moronic manjuu is without yostar tardwrangling them.
That's even worse
how do i link to posts on other boards
like this?
Are they fricking moronic?
Azur lane has girls that talk about and have relationships with other men that you never see in game as well so this is nothing new.
No they don't
Ah so you've never played azur lane.
Day one player Black person, post your "proof"
>Now when I dream about those five brothers... I can see their faces clearly, and they bless me with their smiles...
It's literally a love line
not this shit again
He's just baiting at this point, why did you even bother replying?
So you concede, huh?
Go back to /hsrg/ troony
That's a reference to the five brothers who served under Juneau (the ship) and she has nightmares about them
They basically pass on and disappear forever (or reincarnated into cranes)
Also post the full line, moron
>Now when I dream about those five brothers... I can see their faces clearly, and they bless me with their smiles... But somehow it was so sad it almost made me cry... *Tearful sobbing*... Can I really live happily together with you, Commander? It's not just a dream, right...?
So? Azur lane has girls that dream about other men and that's ok but not when AzuPro does it?
Sometimes people appear in my dreams, does that mean I am in a relationship with them
Nice goalpost moving. Being in a relationship with another character is not the only thing unacceptable in a waifu game.
Time to go back to your cuck general.
She's not the only one, AL girls talk about other men all the time.
What men?
There was a story scene recently where it was revealed another man created shipgirls and they all designed in line for his fetishes (i'm not joking)
>man created shipgirls and they all designed in line for his fetishes (i'm not joking)
Sirens
The creator of botes is a woman
>flashback
K
No they don't
btfo
...Are you moronic?
She's talking about you
ESL confirmed
You're probably thinking of Nikke
Frick off eitherway
source?
Why this shit sounds too similar to the GFL2 drama? You sure they aren't just trying to copypaste the same shit?
>dev makes the same mistakes
>now we aren't allow to post it because there was precedence
have a nice day
>believe some baseless rumor without source
have a nice day.
This was leak by the same guy that leaked GFL2 Raymond shit
nta but that doesn't make it any credible if you ask me.
the entire issue was started because of femc.
The leak that claimed the girls have love interests? Sure
The one claimed to be a debunk then post the same exact scenario as GFL2 Raymond? Nah that's getting too suspicious.
not debunked since anon didnt provide a source to that claim. there is supposed evidence of
since chinks are discussing it here and other threads as speculation https://tieba.baidu.com/p/8946540518
>Male interest of female character
This is considered okay? What are they thinking lol
It's funny how fast Manjuu bent the knee and had to go on stream to confirm that there would be now shipshit in Aether Gazer after the backlash. And that was just backlash due to the announcement of male characters this bullshit however lmao.
>aether gazer
Azur Promilia or you do mean Aether Gazer (which is Yongshi)
Aether Gazer they shilled the game as waifu game only to reveal that they are adding males 5 or so months later after the pre regs got rolling, chinks got mad and the devs had to confirm that the dudes keep to themselves and that they wont ship them with the girls.
No wonder why the revenue of Aether gazer is so fricking bad
At least get the devs team right since it just makes thing more confusing if you mixed them up/
I love girls
STOP THE COUNT
I hope chinks keep up with the fight and manage to change the game just like they changed Snowbreak
guess you can't join the fray without chink phone number huh...
Nah chinks are absolutely justified on their chimpout, manjuu really wanted to use my money for that shit? Tough luck
Curious question. I play AL from time to time. It's very much something you just "play" to look at skins. Why do chinks even bother with it? Isn't it censored for them? Outside the sexy skins, the game has nothing
This would probably surprise you but with small tinkering they can also have access to the global version.
Wow. Does manjuu pay off the ccp or something? Why isn't every Chinese dev doing this?
Perks of being a relatively small, niche game.
They -do- though, okay not mihoyo but there are workarounds
Their game is in fact not censored.
Manjuu told them how to “remove” the censor.
Seeing Aether Gazer also has the file editing censor removal trick, I am more inclined it was Yongshi handiwork.
What's the point in decensoring the art in a shipshit game?
>shipshit game
You mean Aether Gazer? They went full coom not long after launch
>full coom
>still have males in gacha
What for? Like who are you trying to pander at this point? It's like Brown dust 2 case where the game is almost looks like a porn game, but no one wants to touch since it has males there and females players sure don't want female character to be oversexualized so they are not touching this kind of game either.
>removing male characters
That'd be a nice way to open their butt cheeks for a lawsuit
Not exactly what i was trying to say, is just that it feels too late to starting doing that shit and they should have decided on who to pander since the beginning, but i guess they get desperate when their revenue is low
They were trying the genshin formula with limited banners, male characters, 50/50 pity. Shit blew up in their face almost immediately and even after almost 2 years they still have to try various patch jobs to fix the problems
>They were trying the genshin formula with limited banners, male characters, 50/50 pity
Sounds like the curse of gacha games nowadays
Arknights has coomer designs for girls and males in the gacha and it's like the most popular game in china
Its a chinese normalgay gacha, that's its market audience
>coomer designs for girls
You can't be serious, it has NOTHING close to AL and AP won't either because it's gonna be safe normalgay shit
Utage is the only coomer design that has ever been noticed outside arknights. Literally nobody talks about it otherwise, even azur lane has essex
Arknights literally has more art than azur lane
TAKE THAT BACK!
Well obviously it has the higher ratio disparity of artists to players so it gets more aislop
Will she do a naked dogeza to apologize?
Pretty sure she left manjuu some years ago exactly after a controversy they had to fix quickly and they (kinda) did it successfully
She showed up on a stream last year or at the end of the year before.
>last year
i watch all the azur lane streams, she wasn't, so show me.
She was in the after credits of the 6th anniversary with Yostar CEO
In the cn anniversary stream?
The JP one with Unzen the 1st part
no.
i want her photobook though does anyone has it?
Female MC AND leaked male characters? I can't believe people were really trying to argue with me and act like this was gonna be some based lewd waifu game with marriage. They sold out, they want the genshin normalgay audience
>want the genshin normalgay audience
Manjuu need twinkification (+crop top) every male and reduce breast size of every female to AAA (+boy shorts) to able stealing genshin normalgay (lgbqwerty+) audience.
They won't be able to steal shit if they just repeat the same thing others already did. they will have to go further by having the males wearing speedo as their default outfit.
have a nice day shitler.
Why don't people copy Priconne and Nikke's marketing?
>girls girls girls
>all girl gacha
And then they just have male npcs (non threatening to the player) in game?
Gacha companies have to rediscover that ancient knowledge every time.
Execution
I find Nikke's story, characters, mc, music, art absolutely stellar but the game is so dreadful to keep up with.
Why the frick do men need to exist why not just do what blue archive did where men are basically cryptids, NPCs are cute girls or dogs or robots and you're the only one man around
It's a genshin copy, they sold out and want to get the genshin normalgay audience
Palworld copy you mean.
BAgays and ALgays really fricking hate Nikke and Priconne for that exact reason though
The frick are you on about?
>he doesn't know
Try again and write an actual reply.
shitposting
im a bote/nikkegay, hes full of shit, probably the furryBlack person from gay boyfriends general or some other multiple-thread-shitposting creature
You should've seen their generals
>For Blue Archive
>Chibi
lmao
I know those gays always talk about frickable chibis and stuff but I'd just rather these games have actual fricking scale models instead of chibishit
The sex scenes in BA are l2d or CG
The chibi stuff is just for gameplay and they're still very good
sex scenes? BA has sex scenes??
Game is R18 for a reason
>Hag with breasts
Don't care.
Holy frick
Huh, the appstore allows porn?
Picked the frick up.
At least try something with actual R18 contents first, not that lame edited shit.
This is a blue board
>still edited
Well yeah I stiched them together for context but whatever, here, an unedited screenshot.
Black person you are literally trying to bait with the shitty Toki edit
I literally had Ako and unlocked the L2D
there is no sex in the game
yeah prove it
The L2D is the most genius stuff from BA. It's basically the equivalent of an event CG in galge game.
Former BA player here but the L2D shit gets old fast. Maybe galge just aren't for me because it's extremely boring when every girl is for (You) without you even having to try. This also means that girls you don't like or particularly care for are also into (You) and it just feels wearisome.
You sound like you might enjoy Twisted Wonderland instead.
I'm not into men so I will pass. I just prefer it when the girls in these games have actual chemistry with (You). The idea of them just loving you because you're the only male around makes everything feel like it's extraordinarily fake and everything is done out of pity, which seems opposite to what I'd expect waifugays who are looking for "pure" love to want. Even in galge visual novels for instance there are wrong answers and flags and stuff that will sabotage your relationship with a girl and in a way you will still need to earn their love. In these other games where everyone just loves (You) by default it never feels like you really earn any real affection from the girls outside of very few cases.
And the way you primarily raise affection in these games is by giving them gifts until they feel like talking to you in which you choose from some scripted lines that will always end with them liking you further after the interaction.
You're saying that like people don't look up guides in those vns anyways
"People" using guides for motherfricking GALGE visual novels are actually subhuman morons
Yeah but the point is that you are never "punished" in any way for interacting with any of the girls in the game. Anything you do results in a positive. You are rewarded for merely existing. I mean ultimately it makes sense because it's gacha so they want your money and no one is going to roll for a girl who can hate your guts because you disgusted her enough to reduce her affection to -100 but I still think it's extremely boring that there's no other social dynamics other than girls fall for (You) so easily. The way I see it is like picking up a 3D druggie hooker who just wants any man who works half a McDonalds shift per week so they can afford a cardboard box in a backlot to sleep in. There's no effort to it and for that my interest just isn't there either.
Go play taimanin gacha or something then I heard it has NTR
funny you bring that up because in the non-NTR cases half the time it's just Fuuma initiating sex/raping some b***h and she falls for his wiener which is at the very least the minimum of putting effort to make a woman fall for you than simply existing and getting love for it
Then an orc steals her from you.
To be fair, when I did play that game my waifu was Kirara and she is literally IMMUNE to being NTR'd since she's Nagisa Aoi's OC daughterfu or something so I lucked out
So literally like sensei?
From what I recall BA has no actual fricking though, it's all just suggestive bait. It's not like Nikke where they are as explicit about it as possible without being outright R18.
There wouldn't be relationship drama, they just wouldn't like you and that's it.
>Acting like some 3DPD
There is still a dimension of difference between anime girls who don't like you in VNs versus real women
the game literally has sex scenes
BA is literally R18
Proof?
I literally played the game, it does not have sex scenes.
see
>Yeah but the point is that you are never "punished" in any way for interacting with any of the girls in the game. Anything you do results in a positive
Yeah because sensei (me) is just the best. Just the best. Why would I want some drama baiting storylines from some cheap shoujo manga in this gacha game anyway?
If I want drama or about making mistakes, male players would be more interested when that involves the politics, the state of the world or life or death of the characters. Why the frick would I want relationship drama about the waifu chars hating the protagonist and acting like some 3DPD?
Nah there are girls that don't like you at first like
But you frick her into submission
>blah blah muh failure muh "real affection"
I don't know. You still sound like a homosexual to me.
>there are no males
>there are no playable males
>the other males don't interact with any girls <-you are here
>there are no other m/f couples
>well at least (my) girl is faithful
>she won't cheat on me and leave me
>at least she didn't get pregnant
there's literally no males in blue archive other than sensei
there's some other cryptids that wear suits but they're barely even humanoids
Funny because Black suit literally blacks students, its even a meme in the community.
is that why of the thousands of doujins blue archive has literally none of them feature black suit
You have to raise affection on girls to get their l2d though
I love how they look like scenes instead of girls just standing around or posing
>a bunch of doompost from a cuckposter
Wow this is worthless
Rather than yuri, Blue Archive has an ALARMING amount of futa fanart. When you mention this to them they ignore it and sweep it under the rug. Very peculiar.
ALgays don't even think about Nikke and Priconne unless someone goes into their thread and starts talking about them (usually to shitpost.)
It's kind of true.
People hate Nikke because of the existence of Pilgrims' original SKK and there was nonstop cuck doomposting about how they are dedicating anniversary events to showcase the past where the strongest Nikkes in the game are all devoted to someone other than (You)
I don't get Priconne though since even if that game has NPC males all of the girls and Yuki are still for (You).
Nobody in AL cares about your thread's drama dude.
investors. they demand the company just do what the other (company in category theyre attempting to compete in) do mostly but with extra "features." so, adding pokemon is the new feature, but everything else must be the same because OBVIOUSLY thats the only reason its profitable
should game focus more on gameplay instead of pandering?
They need to get the pandering right before people would even look at the game. It's the premise that draws people in, not the gameplay.
The gameplay gives them a reason to keep coming back and is always secondary to the pandering. It can't overstay its welcome, otherwise you'd just play a normal game.
This
I couldn't have put it better, this why azur lane still has a global audience to this day and it has worse production values than priconne
It's gacha, gameplay will always be secondary for this shit.
The problem with normie pandering is that they are directly competing against genshit. If they can't release the game with 7 regions at launch and a new subregion every two patches then they shouldn't bother.
>even the arknots are here
wow i feel offended now
Azur Lane, and Arknights need to kiss.
dont forget that furryhomos were snitching al about the botes being too female, >we had a grim era where botes were covered from head to toes
do you really want to share oxygen with these creatures?
I believe those creatures prefer methane over oxygen.
>this shitpost again
Yeah yeah I'm supposed to believe a small group reporting content that wasn't hidden that caused manjuu to start censoring themselves as if they weren't already doing that years before arknights even existed

>there will be males
It's nyover...
can't wait for the meltdown
Did some yumejoshi infiltrate manisraelite or something? I feel like I'm about to witness some shenanigan like pic related from this new game of theirs.
>CEO is a woman
>artists are women
>project lead is a troony
should this have come as any surprise
why are you replying to a Gankereddit repost of
not only that but a c*tBlack person
holy shit today is a (you) farming zone
>BA shills are here
Pack up, it's over
its all the same guy and hes been doing in on Ganker and every gacha general here for years
its literally his life to shill some korean slop kek
ive seen him shit up so many different gacha generals ive played
id love to interview him just to see how sad his life is
So this game will reach the drama proportions of GFL2 or will be like Snowbreak where they go back and listen to the players before any big drama?
>it's extremely boring when every girl is for (You) without you even having to try. This also means that girls you don't like or particularly care for are also into (You) and it just feels wearisome.
Are you an unironic homosexual or something?
Mad over a question or what homosexual? I literally just asked because i want to know how big is the reaction in chink land

My apologize, wrong quote
I predict it's at least GFL2 level if not more. Manjuu is big in chinkland so I expect quite a pushback within the upcoming weeks.
Ok then, thanks for responding since i really don't know how big is their reaction on Chink land
Nah manjuu is like a nobody in china
>Male MC is always some sword wielding twink
Why can't we get an MC that looks like he jumped right out of Tekken or smth
good thing ip counter was removed eh
Maybe it's Playstation's fault?
Snowbreak, Nikke, GFL2: has PC but no console version, no playable males
Genshin, WW, Promilia: advertised with Playstation at launch, have playable males
i just saw the spritual successor of dream c club launching for switch/pc uncencored so yes, more or less what i feared here
Dumb cope. Is them putting shipshit in also snoy's fault?
azur lane crosswave is on playstation and it doesn't even have male NPCs
the nep series as a whole didn't have males either come to think of it
now you're just pulling theories out off your ass, holy shit.

why do chinks allow people to rate a product that hasn't even been released lol
not that I believe their ratings
>8.0
It's old news now
nice,
i didnt buy skins for years only to end up funding pozzed shit
only botes are vrooms are allowed
Koyukigays really are based everywhere and only spit facts.
now it's back to 8.0
seems like they ran out of fuel
It's obviously manjuu rigging the ratings again.
Just clicked the link for the first time and it’s still 7.9 on my end
Based chinks for once, not accepting whatever slop that they give
I don't see anything wrong with male playable characters
This guy is having a melty in real time
>I like this style so much. If the finished product will only be better than this demo, I will play as the main game.
>Previously, when I played the so-called "normie" game from a certain dev, I was the type of player who only roll for female characters, but I was too scared to spend money for fear that there would be more and more males and uglier females char, and the sunk cost of abandoning the game would be very high, so I basically just bought a small monthly pass and played casually. To ask why this, because other games have fallen behind the times, there is no other choice.
>Seeing this in action makes me feel like I've found a place to belong. Please polish it up. Don't include men in gacha pools, differentiation is the answer, and I look forward to it. The protagonist gender I do not have any opinion, just mention one point, do not just be a camera [OK] [OK].
>updated
>I'll add one more thing to my opinion. Some people have grabbed the ability to cast a female lead and spouted off that it's the anti-males that isn't complete. I think Manjuu should have an understanding of what their basic base is like, and not dig their own graves to make a yuri game out of it. So, if you can choose a female protagonist and it's not a yuri game, you can at least conclude that there is no "oath" between the protagonist and the female characters like Azur Lane.
>That is, it doesn't fit the current narrow definition of master love (pandering).
But don't worry, it is possible to have a deep non-love bond with the characters, which is what I mean by the protagonist can't just be a camera(POV), and I think it still meets the broader definition of pandering, after all, your inspiration is fgo.
>To the yurigays that I also have a deep hatred of, they usually hide in the corner of the fandom and two sides would butt heads often, as they will often express their views on the role, this and, that chars are OOC, which will inevitably touch the interests of the waifu players.
>I think as long as the official game has the right ratio, know where the red line is, and have the atmosphere that allows players to shout out "so-and-so character is my wife", the main character can choose a female character is also not a bad idea.
>---- update again ----
>Alas, the Manjuu I support until now, including the male characters will be a repeat of that game that made the old mistake of shafting the female characters This kind of game is not going to be bought by men, so we'll have to wait for the next game. To be honest I'd rather make peace with the yurigays than see this happen. At least the material released by manjuu so far shows no signs that there will be a male character, and I really hope you'll stick to that line. At the very least I'd be willing to stop playing AL than using my money to fund this game.
Very rough translation of this dude meltdown
Why didn't they just make 3D Azur Lane
They clearly want to genshin normalgay audience
your crosswave???
They did, and it flopped.
>no mobile
Of course it flopped.
Mobile gaming is future.
There have been several Chinese full 3D bote games on mobile and all of them have completely EOS'd.
Oh my fricking god the anti-AL gay is insufferable
It's some Oyohim nig, it doesn't matter the chinks are already pissed if the shiphomosexualry is confirmed in anyway then there will be a worse blowout then GFL2.
>DD2 is dogshit
>This whole shitfest in AP
Man what a fricking day
>DD2 is dogshit
Haven't seen post release stuff but in what way?
Its just people with 8gb of VRAM thinking they can run a 2024 game. It's nothing new.
I only buy 60-70 dollar games at 50% so there's still a lot of time for them to fix performance and it's kind of sad but Capcom being absolute israelites when it comes to microtransactions is to be expected at this point. Unfortunately I enjoy their gameplay too much to just pass on their games unless they shit the bad on that front.
>bad performance
>mtx galore
>single save slot
>doesn't add fast travel for immersion, but you can mtx to do it
>MTX
FRICK FRICK I PREORDERED THAT GAME NOOOOO I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING IT TONIGHT FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUCK
It's 2024, why do you still preorder game anon?
You can refund it
i don't even care about the money i was looking forward to it because i liked DD1
mtx is the same shit they did with world or dmc5 from what I have seen so far, people getting baited into paying for shit thats already in game or to "skip grinding". Performance is the only major problem but even for me with a 3600 and a 5+ year old CPU, it runs passable on low settings
I dont care as long as shit is playable, but I hope they fix it
The monhun mtx were pretty annoying because it wasn't stuff you can grind and it got even worse going from world to rise.
I only played World but I don't remember there being much microtransactions. What else was there besides just handler outfits? I read that Rise became more scummy with layered stuff though.
They had hairstyles, weapon accessories, chat stickers, emotes and room decorations and bgm.
Cosmetic mtx is miles better than one time revive or one time appearance change mtx
You're right but I still find it shitty in a paid game where you can grind out almost everything to have cosmetics exclusively locked behind paywalls.
>PC optimization is REALLY bad
>microtransactions, LOTS of them, on top of being a full prize AAA game
What's AP?
That acronym is too common.
Is dislike of female MC as an option just a Ganker thing because people here associate it with trannies/yuri, or are Chinese also mad about it?
Chinese also don't like gays and yuri playerbase.
It's not a Ganker thing, it's a chinese thing.
Explicit homosexual contents are banned in China. If your game has ambigious MC gender then it can't pander as hard as a game with only hetero relationships. Characters can never say "I love you" and the likes.
azur lane has ambiguous MC though
Sorry, I meant to say ambigious as in "unknown". I think "unknown" on female is fine but female on female is illegal.
no it isn't.
It’s not illegal to be, but they do have laws against it being promoted in media.
Adding female MC option means that gayshit getting added to the game is just inevitable. I remember Rune Factory, it only took one game for them to go full homosexual and make every man try to frick you even if you didn't want it.
Nah, chinks would flay alive manjuu if they catered too hard to pufferfishes just like how you saw today.
>score going up again
Chinese normalgays are starting to outnumber them the based chinks
Bilibili has been known to fudge the scores, like metacritics/rotten tomato/imdb etc.
Chinks are changing their scores right now, some of them, saying that manjuu deconfirmed males in the gacha, but where did they speak up? There are no socials yet that i can see.
i MTLd the announcement. i can't find the link to the original post but they're posting these screenshots in tieba
Link me please, that mtl is too rigid compared to google's
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/8946846591?pn=1
What are they going to do about the female MC?
As I said before, they could have turned her into starter character.
so? what about the (you) pandering? they brush it off like that?
>NPCs
told you guys it was nothingburger
Raymond are NPC too
If the MTL is correct this means the leak was real but manjuu here is saying that these homos were early builds concept that apparently won't be in the game
And that the gacha will be all female
We won't know what happens until the beta comes out i guess.
No, they're saying that those characters are enemies or NPCs, they never have a plan for playable males in the first place. They are also saying that they they know their playerbase and they know what they are doing, and tell people to not be worry.
As people say Raymond was an npc too, we won't have the full picture until the beta.
>early build concept
>won't be in the game
Maybe they actually learnt something from Yongshi.
More likely from Snowbreak.
>mentions nothing about playable girls potentially having relations with npcs
Yeah still no
>no male units confirmed (they're npcs or bosses like level headed anons assumed)
>female mc shelved
>(You)'re (male) back on menu
>btw azur lane will be fine for 10 gorillion years
TOTAL
CHINESE
VICTORY
Thank you based chinese gamers
>female mc shelved
They haven't said that yet...
Slow down champ. It's all female playable + no male units but they didn't say anything about removing the female MC. That's still an issue for the dialogue and story.
Female MC is still there, so pandering is still gonna be fricked. Also shipshit with male NPCs could be a thing too
>shipshit with male NPCs could be a thing too
gays will be gays nothing to be done about that but if its male pc only and cater the story to that end thats the best you can hope for
they do that for azur lane so its not like this is a difficult concept
It's not male pc only is the thing, everything, especially pandering, is gonna be designed and written with both male and female mc in mind
>It's not male pc only
>but if its male pc only
>if
Black person
Chinks are based for once
Yumes and fujoshits should stay in their fricking lane
Hopefully they remove the FMC too and turn her into MC's wienersleeves to eliminate the yuritrannies

Based. Turns out making your voice heard actually works
Why are they allow you to score a game that is not even released yet
Sounds good to me, keep a place discussing the upcoming game and show a score of the interested parties based on what's the developer doing, not even westerners are this transparent.
Good now remove the female MC
They're not gonna bend the knee on that matter. These days chink devs don't see female MC as a negative, in fact some have grown bold enough to either have a female MC only (Reverse:1999) or giving clear favoritism to the female MC if you have two options (Arknights:Endfield).
It's probably not too late to avoid rollable male characters though. If they concede to the fanbase, that'll be the only thing they give up.
>clear favoritism to the female MC if you have two options (Arknights:Endfield).
qrd?
female MC is a lot cuter
>game advertises both female MC and male MC, seemingly on equal terms
>only the female MC ever appears in trailers and promo content
>for the "technical alpha" test that players were invited to try, only the female MC was playable, the male MC doesn't even have a model yet
99% of the fan content is of the female MC now, obviously as a direct result of the male MC being an afterthought
>morons find some super old concept art of male characters
>randomly assume it's for male characters going to be in the game
>not just random concept art like ALL games have
>have meltdown over nothing
kek
>concept art of male characters
What about the cosplay event then?
>Noo you must believe everything that gets posted on NGA!!!
I think anons on Ganker are genuinely more moronic than chinks.
What a rollercoaster
If they frick up again it will go down just as fast or faster
Is it going up again?
Why? More news?
The review bombers are turning around after the announcement
It's obviously manjuu manipulating votes
Alright back to looking forward to the cbt.
Wrong thread?
Don't care would still play
I just want to see cute girls
That's right. I want to see cute girls making out with other guys~
So there will only be female gacha characters and a male/female MC.
Does that mean it will be mostly a yuri game that self-inserters can enjoy as well?
I'm actually very excited for this game, it seems like it would be Genshin without all the awful stuff that Genshin suffers from.
like clockwork.
We don't know, Azur Lane is not precisely tediumless either, it has many UI and gameplay loop elements that are still very annoying, nothing account bricking but if i am going to compare genshin hands off approach on dailies to azur lane, i think genshin is better optimized
>Chinks are celebrating their victory over the news.
This is like a fricking roller coaster.
If they're already celebrating victory I take it that they're not pushing for the female MC to be removed?
The push for female mc to be removed is because it might lead to shit like this in the first place so when manjuu confirmed they're not going that route a lot of people care less but there's still going to be some asking for complete removal.
so the pufferfish and xxn allegations still stand.
even the guy who claims to deeply hate pufferfish says he'd rather make peace with them than tolerate a game with rollable males so I think the brunt of the issue is over
the remaining pockets of resistance aren't enough to get the female MC removed
Self-inserters and pufferfishes joining hands to get rid off the male menace.
damn it bugmen i thought we were comrades 🙁
>waifugays and yuriBlack folk join forces to get rid of the husbando menace
KINO
Yeah no, i'm not willing to share the space with yuriBlack folk either
If the game is truly for (You) without npc shiphomosexualry then there's zero reasonable divide between waifugays and yuriBlack folk
if that was how it worked then yeah
but thats not how it works
99% of all yurigays are first and foremost shippers
they would rather ship two girls from their harem with each other than than their harem girls with their self-insert female character
That issue is still not apparent enough for all of them yet it seems.
Most of them are waiting until the game's first test.
The puffer fish must be stopped.
>to raise puffer fish
heh chinks are funny sometimes
It seems that the game has been in development for a while prior to the announcement.
Hopefully we don't need to wait forever for the release date
>pufferfish
Why the frick do they call it like that lmfao
Evading the ccp, probably or idk. chinks love such playwords.
Which means currently they only addressed the "green cap" issue.
Green hat is literally the chink word for cuckold, not a playword
cool, the more you know.
>Why the frick do they call it like that lmfao
Puffer fish in chinese also read as ''river pig'', that's why the chinks call the yurigays ''puffer fish''
If you don't remove the female MC I (yurigay) will pufferfish the frick out of your game be warned chinese netizens as this is not a threat but a promise
>pufferfish
qrd?
Yuri trannies
What will the people that sold their AL accounts do now? RIP
People without faith deserve no mercy.
If you take drastic actions like that so quickly, you kinda deserve it. Whenever stuff like this happens you should always wait a while to see how it plays out.
why?
You really think the devs aren't going to add cuckshit with their beloved male NPC that they spent so much time and effort to create?
Or that this game is going to have fanservice and pandering?
I for one will stop spending money on AL, knowing that a sequel or anything of the sort is off the table now, since all dev power is going into AP.
Devs always do this shit, they copy stuff without rhyme or reason (genshin is popular, must be the males, the shipping, and the absolute lack of pandering!), they copy that and their game fails (tower of fantasy, snow break). They realize their moronation, and backpedal (they removed all males in ToF and made them NPCs, they removed the playable male in snow break and added fanservice).
This feels like a sakura kakumei 2.0 for manjuu, just absolute moronation.
Look at how popular nike is, solely for the fanservice, same for azur lane, it has survived 7 years for it on a time when fanservice is being abandoned by devs when in reality people want it the most. Look at gushing at magical girls, it's top anime of the season because of the sexual stuff.
Must have missed the post where it’s completely separate teams huh
it's ultimately still manjuu.
they mostly borrow the same artists as well.
Kincora and Sorayuna are the only AL artists we have seen from the banner art.
Cloud and dishwasher have both made statements confirming they're working on the project
Bwo, don't tell me you read an official statement with corporate language and actually believe it. Do you buy Apple products by any chance?
Also, don't look at retrofits and wedding skins number per year, you may notice a chance around 2020/2021...
>You really think the devs aren't going to add cuckshit with their beloved male NPC that they spent so much time and effort to create?
If they have a death wish they will, they aren't as liquid as mihoyo to do that
That's exactly my point, chinese devs ARE in fact that moronic to think that going from mega fanservice and pandering to males and shipping is going to open up their audience and earn them more money. I just put two examples (ToF and Snow Break), but also GFL2 (we all know what happened there, the complete change in tone and personality of the units from 1 to 2).
I can only hope this based backslash from the chiks woke them up and made them realize what made AL popular (is not the stellar gameplay).
If they are smart, they are going to add pandering and fanservice, but we'll see, I personally have no hope.
I've seen this EXACT same situation no less than 10 times before, and at best those games are sitting in 100K per month revenue.
Go play blue archive if you're allergic to men then.
I can only hope this gets a tenth of BA money and fanart. We can see that the way to do it is trough pandering.
ToF had a major reception and major gameplay related frick ups that were very severe, i can tell you that it having homos or not was the least of its problems
>you really think the devs aren't going to intentionally kill their game
yes
>they removed all males in ToF
>and made them NPCs
Wait, what? For real?
>Look at how popular nikke is, solely for the fanservice
I play nikke but their real fanservices are text-based...
Exactly. I can only hope this game is going to have some sort of affection system, with scenes were you go in cute dates and stuff, and the text stating that you fricked all night.
Or we can go the genshin route, were you help the girl go on a date with a random NPC and he confesses at the end. Actual fricking cuck scene, kek. People are very vocal about this stuff for a reason.
>and the text stating that you fricked all night.
Just play a porn game at this point.
You know what I don't get during all of this
>No, this all misinformation, this totally meant to be a male pandering game where you collect only female characters!!!
Then who the frick are the npcs like the half-naked bull-human blacksmith guy for? What purpose do they serve? If the intention here was from the start a
>for (you)
game putting work into designing character models like that, even just as npcs, doesn't make any sense.
Remember this is Manjuu they do wacky shit for whatever reason.
Not everyone is lazy enough to use the same NPC models for everything like Mihoyo.
Cool, then they could've also just put a hot blacksmith cow lady there, but instead you have a half-naked dude.
We won't know yet until the beta happens and you saw here how angry chinks get and how fast they are
Why should you care about irrelevant npcs like him? That's just you being insecure.
keyword here: irrelevant
I care because if the game truly wants to be for the AL audience and it isn't just damage control, that could've been a female character who only wears a blacksmith apron but instead work went into modeling the abs of some male npcs for some reason who is apparently strangely for no one and has no real purpose being the game by their own statement.
homie if they wanna create a living fantasy world then it's a common sense to put inconsequential nobodies. he's not even intricately adorned.
>later area has another blacksmith npc
>she is a big titty cow girl
>more intricately adorned than dude
Imagine
That's great. Make even more npc varieties than any hoyoslop combined.
AL made it 7 fricking years without this shit, get the genshin brainrot out of your system - once again, if that npc is so irrelevant and could be anyone else in a game supposedly meant to exclusively pander to guys, why is he of all things a huge half-naked bull-human (not like you have his for some reason fully-clothed non-fanservice female counterpart as comparison right next to him in the fricking trailer). Or better yet, why isn't Akashi in his place? You know, the character in AL who fulfills a similar role without being male half-naked bull-human. You know Akashi? Probably not, fricking gigger.
Azur lane has male NPCs as well FYI
You mean (Your) dad?
Cool, went work and money into modeling any of them in full 3D as half-naked huge bull-human shop npcs you constantly gonna interact with or do you just keep trying to figure out even more moronic technical gotchas?
>you know akashi?
I recruited the kot years ago lmao.
Back to the topic, they clearly intended to make the world as alive as possible and not in a timeline where everyone but you is a female bote. Having males in this setting are fricking normal regardless of their appearance.
In contrast, it feels gross to have all npcs being female unless of course, you're into yurishits.
>In contrast, it feels gross to have all npcs being female unless of course, you're into yurishits.
Just drag your gigger ass back to genshin, like holy shit, just make it even more obvious where your first contact point with gacha games was, because it's certainly not when you
>recruited the kot years ago
ok i admit i no longer play AL but let's see if i remember the steps correctly...
>tap akashi multiple times until a cutscene popped up
>do multiple set mission
>don't remember whether it's timegated
>got her after around two weeks
she got a base l2d which is pretty cute nya. was my strongest repair bote.
Because blacksmiths has ALWAYS been portrayed as bulky men like this, nearly every single piece of fiction portray them like this.
It would be like asking why a game would portray a scholar or alchemist as a nerdy looking person.
Sure, then put a minotaur girl with big jugs then, not a fricking dude. And then you have a female playable character, and all those other super hot, overdesigned male "NPC" or story villain.
You can see how people are getting worried about yume stuff, and no pandering for male players.
The last game I played that had a blacksmith was baldur's gate 3 and he was a scrawny weakling that couldn't even take on goblins
>game putting work into designing character models like that, even just as npcs, doesn't make any sense.
doujin bait
How's the writing and story in Azur Lane? Is it like many other Chinese gachas where the writing is padded to the extreme and there's countless amount of words without it actually saying anything?
The main story? Yes
The events where you do cute stuff with your girls? Some of the best
Not very far off, not near arknights level either
I was thinking about Arknights when writing that. I've tried many times to enjoy the story but the amount of useless padding and filler is just too much.
To be fair, very few can hope to match AK level of padding and worthless wording.
Blue archive probably does it best, the filler is SoL fan service and when things get going they get to the point rather drawing it out. They teased a big bad though 3 chapters and actually went through and ended it with a big event. I don't recall any other game that had the balls to wrap up their main plot line.
>wrap up their "main" plotline
if the context is gacha, guardian tales did that.
Nikke is better though, literally nobody knows or talks about BA's literal generic villains meanwhile everyone acquainted with Nikke knows about Syuen, the Heretics, Dorothy.
Never head of them
Meanwhile Mika alone has more art than all of them combined
Kancolle has order of magnitudes more art than BA and it doesn't even have a story so that's not the own you think it is.
lol
Don't pretend you've never seen mika or shiroko
They're practically gacha icons
Meanwhile I've never even seen any of the characters you mentioned
I know mika because of the scat pics if thats any consolation for you lol
Admitting to your scat fetish all of a sudden?
Mika Schizo is BA's greatest contribution lel
Doro is as popular as Rabi blue archive doesn't even have a single organic meme
>blue archive doesn't even have a single organic meme
as forced as rabi
That was a BA meme? Nobody uses whoever that character is as the meme its just edits changing the character.
Everyone is using the Sparkle edit now so might as well be a HSR meme.
>HSR
Speaking of a gacha that doesn’t have anything organic in it
Yeah just like rabi lol
Rabi is iconic and even called rabi-something to every edit, nobody calls whoever that is something-meme.
that was originally from Epic Seven just like Rabi you fricking moron
Doro stole it, ran with it and took all the credit!
The uoh and plap memes came from blue archive
Uoh is an im@s meme actually, you know the pic which that guy was reacting to, and plap comes from touhou shitposting.
Jesus why are you BAmonkeys so dishonest?
Uncultured baggot
at least learn where your memes came from, e-girlphile
bet you're going to claim dicky posting started with BA too
Never even heard of doro
AL's story is notoriously terrible
>bwo
Yeah makes sense you are here too you shitposting reject
morons
got his nerves boys.
A 3d open world game with purely female characters as npc too will feel silly, Nikke does just fine with Male npcs and some of them are fan favorites, ntr cuckposting is inevitable even if there's not a single male interested in the playable characters so might as well. BA's of robots and Corgis approach is just cringe because it oozes the player bases' insecurity.
Manjuu wanted that 3d open world anime money
There are just PNGs though, no fricking fully modeled, with custom animations, and fully voiced. I would be ok with generic no name males, but the blacksmith bull looks like he had more care put into him than the fricking fully clothed potatoes in the player party.
>robots and Corgis approach is just cringe because it oozes the player bases' insecurity.
this and also i don't mind femc because i don't want a playable male in my roster even if he's supposed to be my self insert.
pufferfish detected
Male gacha crisis averted.
Other questions remain, certainly i'm more interested in the game now than before, i'll try it out i guess.
Shit combat. Genshin's combat is quite satisfying.
>EQ2EQ3EQ4EQ1
Peak of combat bros
homosexual
No, you have combos, you can deal damage in many ways, especially with characters like Yelan. Don't be a dumb meta drone, play the overworld. Azur Promilia's combat is typical hack and slash garbage, where you hit in thin air. It's got not heft at all.
Anyone who seriously thought the “they are going to ship AL expys with other males” was real AND plays AL is stupid.
That's shitler shitposting he doesn't even change his phrases to doompost azur lane or this game also notice the blue archive avatars
Obviously, but I meant the chinks as well. I’m no stranger to Manjuus decision making, but THAT was too extreme to be remotely believable.
>add romance and marriage for male MC
>add yuribait for female MC
Would CN like this? Their issue is that romance is toned down to accommodate female MC. What if romance is still available for male MC only?
You really think they're gonna write completely different interactions depending on what gender you pick? No gacha does that. The only reason to have a female MC is if you want female players or trannies, and both of those like shipping
>different interactions based on gender
Genshin has, FGO does.
Yeah okay lmao, I'm not talking one changed piece of dialogue once in a blue moon. You're talking about just entire interactions changing depending on what you play as. And it's just dumb, why would they even put the female MC in if they were planning on making a waifu game with marriage in it? Marriage is not gonna be in the game, and pandering is gonna be toned down. Best you're gonna get is hearing how important you are to them and nothing more than that, and they'll say that to if whether you're male or female
Anon, a characters entire dynamic with you is different based of if you are male or female in FGO.
Do you not remember the shit with Jeht in Genshin?
You can keep being delusional and thinking they'll totally add marriage in....but just for the male mc! They aren't doing that shit, they have a female mc, genshin looking npc dudes, they want women to play too. And they aren't gonna just shaft the female side like that, and you can't have shipbait and marriage at the same time.
Like AL, the predecessor to the game and is the only reason this shit could be funded in the first place...
Best thing they could do is:
>Write for a male character
>Pretend the female MC doesn't exist for the writing
>Characters are just (you) sexual
Would it work?
No, because explicit homosexuality is illegal in China. You can't just make a female character confess her love to the female MC.
>They censor the love confessions for the female characters
>Oath Rings become Friendship Bracelets for Female MC
>Everything uncensored in global release
EZPZ
Believing they'd do all that is just delusional. Would it be a good compromise? Sure. But will they do it? Hell no
>Yeah bros they just put the female MC in for no reason its still gonna be a based marriage lewd game!
Why even bother having it in the first place? Nah they added female MC for a reason
you homosexuals instead of coping how about you just play a game that pander specifically to you
>crying about harem games while posting Carl
The irony
the best thing they can do is make the fem mc have affection points for that sweet incest
Removing the Female MC can be done and it would take riling up the chinks more on NGA and Tieba, but for that you need chink contacts.
Chinks are going to get pretty pissed when the beta drops and its all platonic shit because of both genders, but i don't think the reaction will be enough, the incitement must start now.
A lot of the complaints are already mentioning that but yeah it would be nice if they kept pushing it. It's a pretty serious issue.
worst case would be them picking noone but normiegays as participant to minimalize complaints.
Everyone is talking only about removing the female MC, but the male MC also looking like someone who can actually fight and has a good stature instead of little aether boy 2.0 would be nice.
Some anons suggested some customization options but honestly that comes with it's own issues short of just making the dude faceless (which would be the ideal but since you directly interact in the game, eh). Maybe some of the armors can have some cool helmets to hide that babby face. That would be a very minor issue overall. As long as the girls are good and loves (You) most people aren't actually hung up on the PC.
>As long as the girls are good and loves (You) most people aren't actually hung up on the PC
That is the big problem with having a Female MC, if they make every girl for (You) that also means every girl will also be a fricking dyke. Is either that or every girl will just be your best friend the most likely thing that will happen if the game keeps the femMc and have no pandering at all, not to mention they WILL use the Female MC for every trailer and every marketing material this game have, making even more a yurigarbage game.
>they WILL use the Female MC for every trailer and every marketing material this game have
Maybe not, the CN player backlash against the female MC has been pretty severe. Manjuu has plenty of time to tailor their marketing (and the game proper) to their audience after this wake-up call.
Nahh man, every time a gacha game that has a Female MC they ALWAYS use them to marketing material shit, the only game who don't do that i think is Genshin and even in that game all yuritrash people keep crying 24/7 Lumine is not on marketing material and Dunking on anyone who picked the Male Mc
>the CN player backlash against the female MC has been pretty severe
And that is a very good thing, i just hope that Manjuu will backtrack on this whole Female Mc situation
>That is the big problem with having a Female MC
Yeah what I said is predicated on the hope that they'd wise up and remove the femPC. If they don't than all of this is a waste of time honestly. If they do they've created a new game in a narrow niche and a possible genshin killer. Up to them which path they want to take.
I honestly think they will after this drama tbh, game is not out yet and is probably not going to be for another year or maybe two and they where quick to address the males on gacha. I also agree that will be a waste of time for me, since i really don't want genshin clone number 37 without any pandering. Being Azur Lane, but 3d would make this stand out of being another genshin cloneIf i really wanted another genshin clone with Pokemons i would play WuWa and i will be skipping that game also
Pre registrations as of now of these top 3:
>433K
>3.5M
>1.6M
yeah manjuu gotta stick their guns to their audience, cn normalgays aren't eating it up
That's what Manjuu wants, which is why they added the female MC. They want the normalgay audience, and if it gets big enough you can bet your ass they'll shaft waifugays and just bank on normalgays once they have a good enough base to soften any backlash. The other leads saying there's actual shipshit with other men is worrying
I wouldn't give two shits about a "safe horny, omnipandering" game that are dime a dozen (unlike pandering and fanservice games, that are in danger of extinction), but to think that the money I spent in Azur Lane was used to churn up this shit doesn't feel good. I don't think I will spend more money on Azur Lane until we get proper pandering and sexual skins on AP.

If anything it proves that cn is reserving judgement for promilia, seems to be quite popular all things considered
They built up name for themselves and good rep from AL. Didn't mean shit though, as they're just ditching those people for the normalgay audience. Female MC is just a redflag, you do not want women and trannies in your fanbase, but manisraelite does
>still going with the debunked shitposts
What debuked posts? All we got was that there were no males in the gacha, nothing more.
We can only speculate what relation the units and NPC have between each other, and what relation will the MC have with the units.
>manjew
pffft, yeah now there really is no doubt.
Translation stolen from Reddit:
>Why are there only female characters in the PV? Because we have always been good at designing and controlling female characters, we are very clear about the future direction of the project. The world view of "Blue Star Plains: Ballad of Travels" is a continent with many species and different races. Our initial plan was that only female characters could be obtained from the Star Arrival card pool, so all the characters that could be displayed in the PV were females. Characters (except NPCs).
>What’s going on with those pictures circulating on the Internet now? Some interested people used the early settings of our NPCs and villain BOSS to invalidate the cases (these invalid cases would not appear in the game), create rumors and create false character relationship information, and maliciously guide users. For these false information We will use legal means to resolutely safeguard the rights and interests of Manju.
>When will the beta of "Blue Star Plains: Ballad of Travel" start? Since the establishment of the project, we have never conducted any form of external closed and recruitment testing. At this stage, our plan is to stabilize the existing internal version first, and after stabilization, we may conduct a series of very small-scale closed testing for external players. Used to collect opinions and refine products.
Are they removing the Female MC and making her a gacha character or what? It's nice it wont have males on gacha, but having a Female MC means the game will either be a sanitized garbage with no pandering or just some yuriBlack person garbage, whats the chinese reaction about that?
>Are they removing the Female MC
No update on that still
Damn, i really hope they backtrack on the Fem MC shit and make her a gacha character.
>"After entering the game, they can design their own character image and officially start the adventure in this world. "
This makes me think the game will have some sort of character personalization, but i hope is just for the Male main character.
>gacha character
>that based on (you) but female
ehh i prefer this
route.
I'm also fine with that too, as long she is not the MC anymore. They could literally make her the Male MC sister, the first girl you get for free in the gacha and also the "main girl" with a deep relationship with the Male MC, like every other gacha game out there
Chinks are rightfully worried, no male playable kind of quelled it for now and most are saying they'll wait to see more. But no, female MC is here to stay as of now
It still has a female MC which means it's going to be yurishit shipshit like every gacha with a female MC.
The take away here is that chink coomers are based
>male and female MC
>which means that all the characters won't randomly be in love with (you) for no reason
>which means that they can have proper personalities, characters and development instead of one dimensional harem girls
Yurifens keep winning
means that they can have proper personalities, characters and development instead of one dimensional harem girls
What's her personality besides standing next to Navia?
Isn't that an NPC?
She will be playable in 4.7 but all she does is stand next to Navia or Wrio like some socially awkward weirdo, she is almost never seen without them.
Damn she’s just like me…
Being the only human being in Fontaine who isn't a fricking SHIT and standing by Furina after the AQ. This cow breasts duelist is actually best girl and it doesn't even come close. Wife. Material.
that poster was just baiting, but it's pretty sad how wrong that post was
like, i want characters to have personalities and their own distinct life goals and interests besides just orbiting the mc
but when it comes to genshin characters that get shipbaited, its literally the exact opposite
they lose all personality and only exist to serve as each others accessory
look at something like eula and amber or ei and miko and tell me events in which they show up together aren't complete snorefest
they literally turn into cardboard cutouts of themselves
>everything I don't like is bait
You guys are actually impossible to deal with.
Exactly what I said here, but for Genshin instead of FGO
Why do shipgays love this muh one dimensional haremette cope so much? I play FGO and the shipshit characters are generally more one-dimensional than the for (You) characters.
>Affection points just like AL
>Marriage Rings just like AL
>The Oath sequence is an unique voiced cutscene for each girl in the altar with that ends in a kiss
Jesus Christ, its not even hard to implement, i would only justify genshin gacha rates for something like this.
Can't, it's illegal to do that with another woman in China. Blame the female MC.
I would drop my Genshin sunk cost in a heartbeat.
>they took 1 day to address the males on gacha drama
>Manjuu is well aware of people complains about the FemMc
>GFL2 Drama shows they can actually just kill a IP if they cuck their playerbase hard enough
I really think that the Female MC option is not surviving at all as a duo Main character option and they will backtrack into making this game an Azur Lane in 3D
Depends if the company is personally invested in the female MC concept, developer spite is also a thing.
>Depends if the company is personally invested in the female MC concept, developer spite is also a thing.
This is why i mentioned the GFL2 drama, their spite for the player base literally killed the game and any chances of a comeback
>Yeah a few few people
I'm seeing a lot of chinese comments, even the ones giving good scores saying that they want the Female MC gone. They are not review bombing yet because of the good will Manjuu has it and they are waiting to see what's going to happen in the game.
>Manjuu is well aware of people complains about the FemMc
Yeah a few few people, if people had any major issues with it they would still review bomb the game.
Manjuu always been quick to respond compared to most developers as far as AL controversies i can remember, not sure how removing the female mc would set them back though
They're still not going to remove these ugly gremlins from the game
What's wrong with them?
You need to pander self-insertgays 100% or the game will fail and is shit
nice concern trolling
really obvious though
Just look at this thread, it's true.
YWNBAW
>makes a straw man about self inserts
>concern trolling
It's way too fricking obvious what are you trying here homosexual
Just take a quick look at the thread, 90% of the posts is the same few people seething about that the game might not 100% pander them and it will fail, make everyone mad and how they need to change everything to pander to them even more.
Half of the most recent posts are the same moronic shitposter that shits up /alg/ his posting style is unmistakable.
Manjuu caved already as they admitted they're in the wrong so I'm not sure what you're on about
The Chinese fanbase is saying the same, you think they can just ignore them to pander to you, a western transsexual?
>a few comments
yeah the entire CN fanbase, even now you continue to seethe that they need to 100% pander to you or it will fail
>yeah the entire CN fanbase
Pretty much, yes. The Chinks aren't like westerners who slurp shit up, pissing them off over their waifus WILL kill your game. Look at GFL2.
>they're so pissed off they all changed their reviews to 5-star again
yeah....
While writing pleas in their review for Manjuu to drop the female MC. The message is pretty clear. "You listened to us over males, please listen to us here too, we want to like you."
based
>not reading what they are saying on the 5 star reviews
You are just very low iq
you didn't read the other half of the thread explaining how the them doing the opposite won't work
I self-insert as gremlin fricker, they are for me.
I'd oath them.
im gonna marry them
newest comments, they are posting 5* in good faith but still talking how they don't want the fem mc
I'm reading a lot of those comments also, even the ones giving a very good score is saying that they really don't want a FemMC. It's funny the amount of good will Manjuu has it with the Chinese players, where they criticism something, but still giving a nice score.
>low effort bait
This is a /vmg/ board homosexual, go be a troony elsewhere
Realistically speaking, they have no reason to keep the female MC. If they remove/repurpose her then the worse that could happen is some normalgays and Genshingays who wouldn't have played the game to begin with will make fun of them for a day and then move on. The only reason they would keep pushing the female MC is stubborn pride, and hopefully they make the rational decision here. They have a big opportunity to listen to the paying market's wishes and pander to them, and I hope they don't frick up.
I thought we were talking about big boy money here but apparently Azur Lane only made 5.5 million across all of its servers last month. Mihoyo wipes its ass with 5 mil. There's actually some yurigay games that make more than this. Are you guys sure that removing the female MC will improve sales when it barely makes any money to begin with?
>Azur Lane only made 5.5 million across all of its servers last month
GFL2 only made 3.5 million since launch lol
AL is old as frick, and still makes good money. The market wants waifu games as shown by Nikke blowing up
genshin wipes the floor with everyone. and they did it simply by being the first to make an actual 3d gacha with decent quality, instead of a fricking webapp game with pictures, not because of its choice of characters or mcs.
Genshin and HSR both have yuri and they make significantly more money than Azur Lane and yet you morons want me to believe the chinks will drop this game en masse because it has a female MC option that MAY lead to yuri? Something that can be avoided by simply choosing the male MC? Holy schizos.
>Genshit
Won the timing gacha by giving people free Breath of the Wild to play during COVID, literally does not count.
>Shart Rail
Coasting on Genshin's farts. Does not count.
>it doesn't count because it doesn't fit my narrative

>Autocorrelation doesn't exist
"The drawing that took less time all used Pen Brand A instead of Pen Brand B. This must be why they're faster... instead of the artist being a cheap frick who put in less detail and bought a cheap pen."
t. You
You are asking me to treat the luckiest gacha in history as if it were anything more or less than perfectly timing the market to maximize new players.
Keep coping.
t. moron
Genshin captured the normalgay audience. Why would they abandon Genshin to play the new Genshin clone by the infamously coomer AL devs?
>HSR
Also the 'yuri' in that turned out to be a girl basically mind raping the other one and is depicted as a bad thing.
>and is depicted as a bad thing.
based on their voicelines both characters express desire to do it again so the chick that got mindraped is kind of a freak, Hoyoverse is like that sometimes
Uh no? The entire event is about how she never wants to do it again (while the mind rapist does) and how she wants to protect you by keeping you far away from her.
check their voicelines for when you add them to the same team, doesn't sound like someone who doesn't want to to it again to me
>voicelines
isn’t this the same cope aetherhomosexuals use when they say a girl is for them? kinda hypocritical to use that when you scream it doesn’t count for them lol
The same company that made a yuri series that bent over backwards and added males because yuri itself won’t carry it like it did with their previous games. Even shit like HBR homegrown yurige in japan loses to asiaticslop like Nikke in their home turf
>Genshin and HSR both have yuri
Not exactly they aren't allowed to have any hard yuri in their games anymore so they resort to shoving it into off media like youtube.
Honestly, I would rather they focus on making a good main story with hype cinematics like HSR, so that my VTuber wife can react to them and be as excited as I am. This would be impossible to achieve if they go full self-insert pandering with their story.
Holy homosexual
s-shut up
>Vtumors
kys
>Genshitter being a moron and trolling because he is mad of the possibility of them not pandering homosexuals
Kek, every single time, that's why people hate on Mihomosexual gays
This entire thread is selfinsert gays being mad for the exact reason you stated tho?
>genshitter mad
Yep, checks out. Go back to your troony game moron
This has been some interesting drama but I think we've reached a standstill. Guess it's time to wait for the beta before any more fuel is added to the fire.
If they remove the female MC this might finally be the last push I need to drop GI forever and get into a different game, but I doubt that will happen. Things never work out entirely the way you want them to.
>we are gonna bump up the rating
>but you need to remove the female mc
Why not just keep the rating low what are you afraid of
The main issue with the female mc is that there's a high chance they will neuter the pandering b and become Genshin-lite because China won't allow explicit homosexualry shit.
>Ctrl + F "azur" on the last 3 /gig/ threads
>good anons praising AP stance on no gacha males
Yep that explains the sudden influx of doomposts
Thanks for the free publicity trannies!
A lot of the /gig/ trannies migrated to /hsrg/. They were even blogposting about their transition the last time I qent there. There's a lot of ERPing in /hsrg/ as well.
>last time I went there*
Typo.
/gig/'s alright, even the ones I don't like generally keep to themselves. It's a handful of shitters. They frick with /gig/, /bag/, etc. But especially /alg/.
Also this. They're troony pisscord raiders, unironically.
Do FeMCs really hinder the (You) pandering? I thought a lot of the girls were gay for the 1999 MC.
In Chinese games, yes, because gays are illegal in China.
>Do FeMCs really hinder the (You) pandering?
It does, if they keep the FemMC expect the writing to be about friendship with no pandering and NO oaths, rings or any type of harem Azur Lane has it
Good, they can focus on good story instead.
Holy bait
>wordswordswords

>paimonslop

>fake archon twist for the 100th time
>shit bait
Not even worth my time genshitter The story of your game fricking sucks btw
Good story aka. more cuck shit
Unless I'm mistaken, showing the player character going further than holding hands instantly bumps the age rating to 16+ and that is what killed that Chinese Harvest Moon mobile game because they would've had to choose to either throw out the romance stuff which is important to Harvest Moon or allow the age rating to get bumped up which is ridiculous for a series that is known to be so family friendly.
>create false character relationship information to maliciously mislead users. For these false information, we will use legal means to resolutely safeguard the rights and interests of Manjuu.
Wait did I read this right is Manjuu really gonna sue a homie for cuckposting? Holy fricking based chinks.
Imagine going to jail for cuckposting kek
And to think i thought Manjuu couldn’t get any better
You know what, all genshitter related stuff annoys me, but what gets me more is that they apparently poured so much time and resources into developing something so lame and uninspired to just be yet another game that adds to an already clearly saturated niche. All this time I think about how sick some of the fancier riggings of the AL girls would've been in full 3D, so even it would've been only something similar I would've been hype. Because which game of this scale and quality has that? None. But instead we get
>here is the fantasy character with her little swords, I hope your rolled for the limited 5* fancy version of the little swords
for the xth time, it's so fricking lame.
Fine by me since I used to like Genshin in the early days, and if I can get a non-cucked version then it's a win for me.
>the girls must be for (You)
>this cannot happen if you are able to pick a female MC because then some other player who isn't me might pick the female MC and be gay
I feel like chinks are just creating problems for themselves at this point
Haremgays aren't going to pick the female MC
Are they angry over the idea that some other player is going to be gay or is this a government policy thing that anime girls cannot be for (You) if you're female and the chinks are too whipped to do anything about it?
>this cannot happen if you are able to pick a female MC because
Lesbians are illegal in China.
How does HI3 exist
By not having explicit lesbians, just a lot of teasing.
>B-but this game could do that!
Yes, but that is a massive downgrade from AL where the girls are chomping at the bit to frick you.
Is that how AL is these days? Last time I played was when pasta botes first came out in JP and there was a ton of cuckposting because Zara's oath line was jokingly poking fun at the ring you were giving her
Even so the most lustful botes back then were probably just Akagi and Taihou and while they always implied they were down to frick it wasn't like the game was skirting R18 territory or anything. Lines overall were pretty mild
>Last time I was there there was a lot of shitposting
Yes those are shitposters and you're an idiot. Zara is like all the other boats, and is very horny and teasing. Her marriage line is her poking fun at the idea that it's the ring that binds her to you and not the love she feels, only a moronic cuckposter, a kind of shitposter, could take that to be anything but romantic.
>it wasn't like the game was skirting R18 territory
I don't remember the last time they were explicit about it, it's just all vagueshit like "you're the most important person to me" which is exactly the sort of crap we want to avoid here.
They toned down the yuri after CCP started cracking down and shifted to lore autism after HoV
Like the other anons said most of the yuri is shipteasing that the community then takes and runs with. After playing the games most of the couples that people claim are “canon” in genshin, I can maybe only see one or two being actual lesbians. From Honkai I only really remember the Kiana/Mei and Bronya/Seele stuff.
It's literally censorship, China doesn't allow depictions of homosexuality.
being gay in china is illegal
You know if the air and water wouldnt give me super cancer and the buildings werent made out of cardboard and man eating escalators I might be alright over there
Poor lad brainwashed by CIA propaganda.
The thing is haremgays and yurigays are at direct odds with one another. One side will inevitably want the game to be catered towards their taste while trying to quash any sort of dissenting opinions. They cannot coexist.
The devs will be forced to pick a side eventually and earn the ire of those they did not side with. And that's how you end up with an actual schizo in your office building threatening burn the whole thing down.
Is this a chink thing because Uma has been doing this exact thing for 3 years and both sides seem content
Uma is japanese only
That’s why I’m asking if it’s a chink thing…
any game with a global release
Fair enough.
It has been additionally released in Korea, Taiwan, and Mainland China.
Games like Uma, Idolmaster, etc. all feature faceless MC so both genders can insert. This doesn't work for 3D games obviously because MC needs their own model.
>end up with an actual schizo in your office building threatening burn the whole thing down.
thing is harem kings are just begging manjuu to reconsider the fem mc for the betterment and success of the game
if it doesnt work out they just go away and keep their wallets closed
schizo genderkin homosexuals on the other hand are the ones with a track record of doing shit like that and being notoriously disloyal
an audience they never had before
what moron casts aside their loyal fanbase for an unknown and unstable one?
they should ask themselves that

>Harem schizos are way worse than--
Aged like milk
I don't want gayshit in my gacha games.
Okay then pick the male MC? How does someone else playing as female MC affect your own experience?
Do we have to explain this shit every time? Just read the thread, it's been repeated again and again.
He's just baiting, anon.
>b-because muh China
Ok but that anon says he doesn't want gayshit at all in his games meaning even if China allowed girls to be for (You) with existence of female MC he still wouldn't be okay with it despite playing male MC
Yes? A lot of chinks complaining about males and FeMC said similar things. They don't like yurigays.
I'm not a yurigay though and I'd still choose female MC the same way I choose Gudako and Djeeta in FGO and GBF
They are just way cuter and better than male MC in every way
>I'm not a yurigay I'm just a gay transsexual
Yes, but those kinds of options attract that audience.
Because you cannot have explicit lesbians in China, so the characters in this game will not have any romantic feelings towards the MC.
That's literally not a thing moron. Manjuu can easily make different interactions for the Male and Female characters. Now frick off with your delusions of NTR.
>That's literally not a thing moron
Yes it is.
>They can make different interactions
And spend twice as much money? No dev does this.
Nobody cares about light 'teehee maaaybe she likes you' shit. That's a total blueball after AL.
>different interactions for the Male and Female characters
That's what I'd love to happen and I don't want to say it's impossible, but how many gacha actually do that to a significant degree other than FGO? Feels like Chinese gacha would rather put their money into a pointlessly massive world and cool battle animations than some extra voice lines and scenes for different genders. I'd love Manjuu to prove me wrong though.
>Manjuu can easily make different interactions for the Male and Female characters
give an example of 5 different devs, or 3 if all of them are chinese, that actually do this sort of thing
Literally Genshin Impact has an NPC that thirsts after you only if you pick the FeMC and not the MaleMC. Saying this is impossible is incredibly stupid and moronic. And that's even without knowing what kind of interactions we are going to get in this game. You are literally fighting ghosts now moron. First it was the possibility of male characters and obviously you ate directly from the anus of the "leakers" and believed it. Now it's about the possibility of not having enough for (You) interactions because the FeMC exists. Take your fricking meds.
>An NPC
Wow! And how about in the fricking gacha?
>Genshin Impact
>NPC, probably a unvoiced one too
lmao, ok lets pretend that counts moron, how about the other two/four then?
I just proved it's possible but now you want more examples. It's just never ending for you mentally ill schizos.
Cool, you can play Azur Lane then.
>probably a unvoiced one too
yep
Genshin's weird in that more and more, it's the unvoiced sections that actually matter while the voiced sections are story irrelevant. The real conflict in Fontaine revolves around Rene and his plan to save the world. He's the main driver of the all of the issues that happen, everyone is dancing in his hands, Focalors only has to off herself because of his actions.
Primordial water murders? Rene was using Vacher for his research.
Breach of the Primordial Sea? Caused by the seal that Rene engraved upon the land.
The Fricking Whale? Rene was prepared to deal with it and the only reason he didn't was because the Traveler added in a new variable that meant the TRAVELER would deal with the whale.
Literally nothing that happens in the Fontaine AQ actually matters. The unvoiced story quests are where the real meat of the region is, and I suspect this pattern will continue into the future. The voiced quests are just gacha advertisements.
That would just turn the FeMC into a neutered option, since there are no male characters. If you are going to do this might as well turn her into a gacha character.
>so the characters in this game will not have any romantic feelings towards the MC.
explicit* romantic feelings. I find it hard to believe there won't be any (you) bait. Especially considering who the devs are.
Gachas are community driven games, and I don't want to play a game whose community is filled with autogynephiles. If they keep FeMC I will not play this game.
>How does someone else playing as female MC affect your own experience?
You fricking female MC morons led to Rune Factory literally forcing you to be gay in the span of one (1) game. I will never trust your kind.
Wasn't that because of the influence of localizers?
Influence that wouldn't exist if the series was exclusively for males like it was originally was.
I remember it has gay marriage instead of e-girls because of the localizers. It was also full of bugs upon release too.
NTA but if they add one gay option in these kind of games instead of just making everyone bisexual it would already make me happy enough
So ultimately it just falls upon being the government's fault, got it
Not sure why these game studios just don't move to Japan to release uncensored versions of their games and then give China a censored version with official mods/fixes as to how to play the uncensored version
Chinese Market >
Plus it’s hard for IPs to leave China.
It won't be ultra coomer like azur lane but more romantic pandering is absolutely possible in the chinese market, azur lane is already there after all
Harem schizos are way worse than yurigays can ever hope to be.
Where did you tourists come from?
Should be obvious, especially the yuriBlack person.
>it's not me shitting up the thread crying about how everyone should pander me
>it's the Yurigays fault!
Take your meds
Stop putting words I didn't say in my mouth, moronic yurihomosexual.
Feeling called out eh?
How many Zhangs are in this thread? I feel like some of you are way too invested in this "drama" as if you're stockholders
I just think it is moronic how much emphasis is placed on how for (You) this game will be rather than the gameplay
If the game is fun I will play it
I don't give a frick if there are male banners
I don't give a frick if there is shipshit
I don't give a frick if Tyrone takes your big titty fox wife and fricks her with his friends Jamal and Marcus while sending you the sex tape
Just give me good gameplay and I will play your game
If I wanted just gameplay I wouldn't be playing gachaslop and there's also what
said.
Asmongold said the premise looks good and that he'll play it
Mtashed said the premise looks good and that he'll play it
Tectone called this the Genshin killer (real)
This game already won.
>Genshin killer meme
lol
The point isn't whether or not it actually kills Genshin. The point is that it has some e-celebs already hooked enough to say dumb shit like this. They are going to spend money on this game. Their viewers are going to spend money on this game. Them playing and spending on this game will serve as free marketing. This game already fricking won by getting big gacha celebs in on trying the game out.
This. Everyone says normalgays won't pick up this game but these morons don't realize they're stuck in 2021. Normalgays already dropped Genshit for the most part. Big content creators are all looking for the next new big game. Sure they won't play it long term because they are content cultures but the amount they whale plus their whale friends and influenced audience will whale within a one year period is already going to be more money than Azur Lane has ever seen in its life.
>Genshin killer (real)
Two more weeks bros... Genshin will definitely die this time.
>asmon
>playing a game
lmao
>mtashed
he will quit within a month
>kektone
probably the only one who will actually play it, if only for his massive hoyoverse hate boner
Most will probably play for a bit then go back to mihoyoslop.
Doesn't matter. Asmongold whaling 2k in the 4 hours he plays this game already pays for 1000 Azur Lane players who spend an average of $2 a month buying skins every half a year for their waifu and thats just himself and not accounting for his thousands of viewers who will try the game
morons who watch streamers don't play video games
I remember when I watched some streamers do account reviews. Majority of the accounts were so bricked I’m surprised they know how to tie their shoes
They do. But they usually play the game for the 1 month or so then drop it. They are FOTMgays.
Doesn't matter if they play, what matters is if they spend
A game that can get Timaeuss and his discord groupie of whales that all spend $50k a month on gacha each is already going to be more successful than Azur Lane even if this group of whales drops the game after a month
What is your obsession with this game being more profitable than AL?
Then you probably shouldn't on fricking /vmg/ of all places. Frick off back to Ganker.
>go to Ganker
>200 threads about how DD2 is dogshit
Bad time to be a gameplay fan…
I mean it is. Horrible optimization…oh you can pay $2 or farm for hours to change your appearance.
Im so hyped for this game bwos...
Anyone feels the same?
Cautiously optimistic. They've quickly put down the idea of playable m*le units and reaffirmed their commitment to their flagship game so that's half the nails in that coffin. If they scuttle the FemPC option and make her a unit or something, we're in the clear.
why does EVERYONE hate playable feMC
I genuinely dont understand
t. loom picker in genshit
They are haremgays upset that if female MC exists then the girls won't want to frick you even if you pick male MC because they need to play safe in front of Winnie Pooh and not let the possibility of yuri to exist
Self-insert gays are really insecure, like insanely so. So if there's another male close by that threatens them to the extreme and they have a meltdown. And the same applies for female characters and pairing, if there's any "competition" they start crying.
>So if there's another male close by that threatens them to the extreme and they have a meltdown.
Yurigays do the same shit i.e GBF's Love live collab.
You don’t even have to go to Japan for that it happened with Honkai 3’s bunny suit sperging out
That shit was so funny
>Girls are for (You) forma Western
>chinks see this as NTR and attempt to stab Mihoyo workers in real life for this
Haremkek changs are so funny
That was actually a /u/gay who thought having bunny skins was tainting the purity of his girls. You can see where the direction of HI3 took after that incident.
You can say the same thing about /u/shipping homosexuals. Why else would you be here? We're all schizos here, don't act like so sanctimonious in a /vmg/ thread.
Because mcwars autism and china won't allow things to get too fanservice-y if there's a female mc option because china doesn't allow promotion of homosexualry in media.
You can read the rest of the thread for more details.
I don't know bro it's not like it's been explained multiple times or anything. Maybe they're just gay and think you're cute and totally wouldn't head stomp you.
For example let's say there's an event where a girl gives (You) a kiss
If the game locks you to male MC this is okay
If the game doesn't lock you to male MC then even if you pick male MC, someone else might pick female MC and see a scene of a girl giving female (You) a kiss
This is illegal in China
The options from here are
>change the law in china to allow it
>devs make different events and dialogue for when you pick male MC vs female MC
>devs remove female MC
The third is the only viable solution
>gives (You) a kiss
You do know that you are not the character in the game?
Bait
Yurichads won
>Bringing up streamers
>Falseflagging as yurigays
Yep, looks like the Mihomogays have come /here/ to kill all discussion.
You only say this because Azur Lane is poor as shit and doesn't have any successful content creators promoting the game
Games wanting to make real money NEED content creators and streamers to play their game
No, I'm saying this because their choice of e-celebs makes it obvious they are mihomogays.
your replying to one btw
>~~*content creators*~~
they literally need to be spoonfed if x is good or bad
>Falseflagging as yurigays
Yurihomosexuals always shows up when people start dunking on them, they did the same shit in the snowbreak general after the devs of that game gave them the middle finger, doomposting and concern trolling even tho they never played the game in the first place. YuriBlack folk always do this shit in every general when shit don't go their way.
>mihomogays
That part is true, but they are also yurishitters themself, just look how they harass artists when they make straight couples fanart (the aether one with arlechino and another with Clorinde and another male character)
How many posts have you made in this thread?
Take your meds, but unironically.
Dunno about you but I have made 1188 posts here
Funny cuz i just entered this discussion yurishitter, i don't have the entire day to be on Ganker
>Take your meds, but unironically.
You should take your own advice homosexual
>How many posts have you made in this thread?
All of them, btw.
>t. Anonymous
Actually, all 1195 posts in this thread is (me). Including every post that will be made from this post foward.
>yurishitters gets called out
>starts having a meltdown
Every single time, no exception
Kinda hard to see /u/gays in a positive light in recent times when they ruined Gridman and Gundam threads for so long tbh
annoying yuri fans have been ruining anime threads since the days of love lab and euphonium, but if you watched even just the first episode of g-witch and it didn't clue you in that it's a yuri anime then i dont know what to tell you, dude
Except their homosexualry used to leak into /m/ Gundam threads as well.
This has to be a terminally online thing. The one yurigay I know doesn’t bring it up at all unless promoted, she just shares it within her group and goes an about her business.
this is a 1200 post thread tranks to selfinsert moronation
They are mihomogays. Harem/self-insert stuff makes them seethe.
You now remember the Navia character quest making them upset because it was a bit too hard on the (you) pandering.
You people really like flip flopping on wether double gender mc games have you pandering or its all platonic
Anon, I seriously don’t care about the femMC stuff. Will it be toned down from something like AL? Yes. Will it be there? I hope so.
You are not my homie and I do not approve of you
Do I want the femMC? No. I’m just setting my expectations to not be disappointed.
They are always like this, pretends to be the victim at the same time they invade generals of games they don't playor games that they doompost like Snowbreak and starts harassing everyone, including artists who goes against their delusions (like the genshin examples)
You've posted this like 20 times already in this very thread
>insta seeth because he knows its true
>schizo behavior thinking every post is from the same person All me btw
Yurishitter bro, you always going to be hated by everyone who is not a homosexual. Now go on twitter seeth at some random artist for making a straight couple fanart, again.
They're called yuri gayS for a reason.
I'm fine with no male playables besides MC, but is Azur Lane a series for yuritrannies like Honkai? If so, it's a definite skip.
>Azur Lane a series for yuritrannies like Honkai
No you can marry the girls.
Every single girl is for you
No, it isn't. Azur Lane is a haremgay gacha. It's pretty fanservicey and generous too but rather outdated.
>only experience was Azur Lane
Anyone else not notice this?
This is such a huge jump from azure lane.
You have mounts, flying Dragon, pets system, different environment, housing, flashy combat, open world, and farming.
There is so much systems in this game they need to perfect.
Idk man. A trailer can be deceiving.
You can hire people to code a game for you, you know
No for (You) and I don't care.
Crying over femc is the most moronic thing i have ever read. Every gacha game has gender choice or ambiguity gender but you can't do it in this game because (you)r schizophrenic mind said so
>but the anti gay law in China
Proof? Evidence of the law exist? Unless is full of shit and (you) just make thing up right
I play AL. I spend money on AL. I want that money to go to funding a better AL.
Instead they use my money to make game that panders to normalgays and homos.
Of course I will be upset
>spoon feed me you people
WHOS YOU PEOPLE Black person?
Nah but seriously you're either moronic or intentionally being obtuse. Maybe both.
i m a g i n e
stop
replying
to
touristBlack folk (and shitler)
>everyone that doesn't self-insert like me is a troll
All the more reason to remove the FeMC.
Hoyodrones ruin every thread.
Probably best advice so far, mihomosexual homosexuals always does this shit and wont stop seething no matter what
Bro the people not from /alg/ have no clue who Shitler is.
even worse, you dont belong here
the fact that the ppm went down in other threads is proof of it
All me
You know there's a perfect place to go if you want to have an echo chamber where everyone thinks the same and no other opinions are allowed. It's called reddit and you should go back there.
You only came here to shit up the thread Black person and ask questions that everyone who read the thread knows Black person, let's not kid ourselves.
You do know there's more than 2 people in this thread... right?
Actually there's ? in this thread.
he forgot he cant shitpost about the ip counter anymore please understand
Yeah, which is why as soon as the seething about le haremgays/self-inserts started several posts asking previously answered questions and posts about E-celebs Gensharters love discussing about popped up.
This is a thread for an unreleqsed game. Of course it's fonna be full of tourists. I understand what you mean, though.
If they don't have a Female MC the game will fail, there's a reason all the biggest games have a female MC or the option for it.
If you only pander the demographic that self inserts you lose out on every adult and mature person that don't self insert into games and fiction anymore, that like everyone that 25+ years old.
Nikke doesn't have a Female MC and it is pretty successful.
As a nikkegay I can assure you that the people who are contributing to 80% of the games income are giant whalegays who spend $100 daily on red core boxes to keep up in levels with their whale friends
They also roll for 11 copies of a character every banner
I talk to some of these people and they literally just Skip story and events and advice sessions etc they don't give a frick about the game they are just whaling in it because their friends are and they compete to wave their dick when it comes to solo and union raid time
People care so little korean and chinese players threw a fit over Pascal or the advise sessions with the legendary commander
Yeah and guess what
Pascal is still in the game
Legendary SKK advise is still in the game
Shift Up doesn't give a frick
The game still makes tens of millions every month
Just goes to show seething haremgays aren't worth shit
Yes, because they didn't add an actual male. Flashback bonds/advise are also being tolerated since they are past stuff and shiftup is being careful with keeping it platonic as seen by black scarlet, but the players I know would generally prefer not to have them.
>pascal is not a male
>lskk could literally be the self insert of the game since it has (you)r name on it, nobody knows his identity and nothing happened in those advice homosexual
>shift up already removed a bunch of troonylation that tried to cuck the players, so they sure fricking care
Legit have a nice day mihomosexual cuckshitter
>I'm not a cuckposter
sure thing homosexual
This
is literally me replying to him dude, how am I a cuckposter?
>lies about a game with cuckposting
>its not me
sure thing gay, here is my last (you) before i lose anymore brain cells
All what you saying its useless if they didn't got hooked in the first place by the game and that only happened because of the with (you) pandering towards the Self insert. Brown dust 2 has none of this and is a much more of a coomer game than Nikke and gets dogshit sales
>mihomosexual cuckshitter
That's explain the amount of seething and shitposting in this thread, frick off homosexual
I'm not a cuckposter. But chinks and koreans were genuinely worried about a slippery slope when they included Pascal. I remember a lot of people dissatisfied with the flashback bonds/advise too as well.
>Brown dust 2 has none of this and is a much more of a coomer game than Nikke and gets dogshit sales
I'd blame that more on zero marketing (outside of shill threads on Ganker) and poor monetization, especially from a coomer's perspective. Like, the horny animations are all they have, and if you just want to goon to that, getting one copy is pretty easy, or, even better, just watch the PVs on the official youtube. (They recently released a video containing ALL their skill animations so far)
Nikke at least has paid costumes.
Brown Dust devs themselves aaid they were looking into adding a relationship system and a player's avatar. They also said they want to focus on releasing female characters.
>said*
Kek, adding that after a year of nothing but cuck stories are not going to net them any player. At this point they may as well release a third game with nothing but pandering from the start.
Why are devs so moronic, same shit with snow break. At leas they aren't the nikke devs who, for the anniversary, released a cuck event and unit who doesn't even like the MC.
I've seen this shit happen so many times these last few years
How is a flashback event a cuck event? My main problem with was hoe they introduced a character only to kill her off again soon after
Riddle me this, what was the need for a flashback at all? In which our character hasn't even entered the story? Why was the whole fricking flashback the girls gushing who awesome was the former commander? And as you say, the killed the fricking characters and the story amounted to nothing. What a great way to celebrate the fact that the players have spent one whole fricking year with the game!
I also feel the need to mention that one (1(unus)) skin costs 60 dollars.
He'a more of a figurehead in their team and the whole event was about their squad failing. They even tease him for being weak.
I do agree about the skin though.
.
Ngl this is pure cope and you know it. A game that tries to panders to coomers and waifugays and still has Males on gacha is doomed.
This is also a problem, wtf where they thinking by putting this terrible name on a game.
I never looked into that game because it's called fricking Brown Dust.
>If you only pander the demographic that self inserts
The only reason to have 2 MCs male and female is for self inserting you fricking idiot.
Most of the people who seethe about self-inserters/harem on social media are LGBTQEBBQ+ teenagers, though?
Then you shouldn’t be playing a RPG to begin with lmao
Women have had no problems playing as males in games just as they decided to watch capeshit and play vidya because it got very popular with men even tho they spent years making fun of people for liking it before.
You do know the target audience for these Isekai harem anime is japanese salaryman rather than basement dwelling NEETs, right? It's the same for gacha. Some people just want to roleplay their fantasy of being popular with cute girls.
It's funny because as an avid isekai reader the stories that seem the most popular lately are the ones with an edgy solo MC that gets teleported with their classmates or find other Japanese people and there's always some gay character that who either just wants a slow life with a group of girls or wants to become harem king of the world who gets killed by the MC
I think isekai audience is changing and is tired of this shit now
Any recommendations of edgy solo MC isekai animes?
One of the best ones of late is probably Instant Death
It got an anime recently but I didn't watch it
Another one that features solo edgy MC is the one about an assassin who gets reincarnated to help a goddess kill a group of isekai heroes who went rogue and drunk off their power after they finished killing the demon king. I forgot the name however
It's just teenagers wanting to be chuuni, it's a phase.
>I'm so cool, and dark, and badass
>Nobody understands me, I hate girls they won't date me
>All those chads should be punished for making fun of me and my dark powers
thanks for recs
but I want to watch my chuuni escapism anime
Isn't typically the korean ones that go super edgy.
Korean ones are edgy but in a different way
Japan usually just stops at NTR of the protagonists CF or love interest while MC is left to die
In Korea the villains get away with killing the MCs parents and raping MCs sister before selling her off to prostitution in a third world country. They kill off MCs only allies and torture the MC in every way imaginable
Korean ones are either like that or gigachad power fantasies.
>shounen series
>for middle aged men
Sure thing kiddo
How new?
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-04-22/shueisha-reveals-new-circulation-numbers-demographics-for-its-manga-magazines/.145991
>Isekai harem anime
Yeah those are shounen series, thanks for telling me?
Are you trolling? Look at the magazines mentioned and the series they publish.
>self-insert gays really think a company would be dumb enough to pander kids that doesn't have money instead of adult males that has a lot of money to spend
Oh please, everyone knows you yurigays self-insert as the female. There is not a single yurigay who isn't a troony.
Will there be hags
man you cant even read the thread you dont read shit
Do hoyogays even read their own game? There was a lot more (you) pandering in then than I was led to believe
They simply seethe at (You) pandering and pretend their headcanons are real
The people arguing in favor of fem mc and or omnipandering here won't play Azur Promilia.
You can tell they are Oyohimgays. Their posting styles, the images used and the e-celebs mentioned make that pretty obvious.
if manjuu listens to them their established fanbase wont play it either
If they kill female MC then they NEED to make male MC appearance adjustable or at least let us choose from different presets
If I'm playing a male I don't want to play as a homosexual ass twink who looks like he can't even lift his own weight. At least let me insert myself as a gigachad if I can't look at a cute girl
Asians aren't into hyper-masculine men and perceive them as homosexuals.
They don't need to be muscleballs, just looks like adult male
That's why I said options. Teens can still pick the twink look
>just looks like adult male
You're playing an anime game, you realize? To make men look like 'adult males' by your criteria, they need to be hyper masculine, which they see as gay.
Nikke's SKK looks like an adult male without being overly ripped and macho and still manages to be faceless
I don't know why chinks can't just go with a design like that
>If I'm playing a male I don't want to play as a homosexual ass twink who looks like he can't even lift his own weight
How are kids going to self-insert if the self-insert character doesn't look like a teen or kid like they are?
>At least let me insert myself as a gigachad if I can't look at a cute girl
Black person with the possible exception of the mc all the playable characters are girls
just change your focus
every troony homosexual uses that as an excuse though
>I doNt wAnt TO stARe at A GuYS AsS
sounds like a homosexual problem
They never do, same shit with Snowbreak. Also these same people will start shitting on the game if becomes a Genshin impact competitor, just see how much Seething WuWa causes among genshitters and that game is full of Homos
>they listen to their player base
>make a Azur Lane but in 3d and with high budget
>Thinking that people wont play that
You are legit moronic
The only people who would play Azur Lane but 3D and higher budget are Azur Lane players
No one new to the franchise would pick up the game because the gameplay would still be shit
>the only people who would headcanon*
Is too late for any of that, they should have done that since the beginning, but i guess they are just desperate now. I think they would have a better chance making a new game
ex-players(me) and audiences from neutered games might pick this up as well.
Nobody will play this for being a genshin clone, everyone that will be interested in this game will be interested on the romance and the waifus that is known from azur lane devs.
People will play it because it's Genshin without the fujo pander, censorship bullshit and full female gacha.
>Nobody will play this for being a genshin clone
This game already has a bunch of big streamers interested in trying it out and thats with the impression that this is a waifu game with no male playable characters too
This game is already winning no matter how many mental circles you want to run around
Those big streamers would look into any Genshin clone. I hope it suceeds tho.
Anyone who isn't a terminally online schizo yuri/haremgay pretending they're fighting a culture war wants this game to succeed
Most people just care if the game is good
It's always the schizos crying that if the game doesn't suck their dick for them then the company should dogeza and file for bankruptcy for their forgiveness
Lots of chinks changed their bilibili reviews to 5 atars after the devs clarification. They still say they would prefer to remove the Female MC.
The main issue is that the pandering will be forced to be toned down if they keep the FeMC option.
>Everyone wants this random generic genshin clone to succeed
Nobody cares about it except AL players.
Asmongold says the game looks neat and hopes it's good
His net worth is more than the entirety of Azur Lane players net worth combined
>Asmongold says
Stay mad. The opinion of one e-celeb is worth more than the entire AL community
Can you get his dick out of you mouth anon? Holy shit you keep bringing up Asmongold like that homosexual actually cares about any of this shit. Think for yourself.
And then he'll at most try out the game when it comes out then drop it. A lot of these streamers are just chasing the next flavor of the month.
Nobody expects him to play a game for more than a day these days
What's important is his opinion
If he thinks the game is still good after trying it
If he gets his viewers to try the game and spend on it then it is winning
Then what does his net worth have to do with it if he won't keep spending money on the game?
His opinions alone will impact more money than the entirety of what AL players can muster and he's just one streamer
When this game comes out there will be a lot more streamers shilling this game
These people wouldn't have batted an eye for Azur Lane 2
Streamers are looking for any Genshin clone they can shill as a Genshin Killer. Watch them do the same to other upcoming Genshin clones.
These threads will be full of incels
They already are
Haremgays who seethe at the existence of other men in-game because they cannot trust their waifus to not leave them for a better man
Feel free to go back to r*ddit anytime homosexual
>low views on every big streamer
>everyone thinks is another genshin clone
>streamers will shill any new genshin clone to have future sponsors and to boost their channels
OwO 1300 replies?! Whats going on here
People are excited over the game because it won't be another self-insert faceless MC gacha
More like people were interested in the chinese drama.
"Why are CN’s male players so resistant to female players?
The female model of the Chinese version of Genshin Impact was forced to be modified. Players asked the relevant local departments in Shanghai why, and the answer they received was "respecting the opinions of female players." As a result, the anger of Genshin Impact's male players against female players reached its peak. The mainstream view is that female players submitted a large number of reports to the government, resulting in the model being forced to be modified.
Especially at that time, they discovered that some female players were practicing double standards. While they accused Shenhe of being too lewd and exposed, they were full of praise for Arataki Itto.
All of these eventually led to a large influx of gender-opposing views into the gacha game market."
Wait it's actually true that it's thanks to females that Genshin got ruined?
Because women always ruins fanbases they enter.
They always whine on the smallest things, all the character stereotyping, always trying to force their "ideas" and virtue signaling.
Reminder that 10+ years ago they were just making fun of men who are into anime and videogames calling them creep, nerds, losers, incels, etc. and now they're invading the same space they hate and are now forcing their crap when they are just tourists who are into it because it's trendy and popular
God I hate women.
At least despite everything we can all agree upon that we will all be glad that it will be female only gacha and scare away all the femoids.
This is exactly what happened in the West. This is exactly how Mihomos act since a lot of that fandom is full of femoids and trannies. They basically go to every new gacha and scream about how you need more males, more gay representation and stop pandering to men.
Westerners need to learn from what koreans do with feminists
Too many simps and corpo backing to work in the west.
Men are becoming more radicalized by women in West, especially the younger generation that are listening to guys like Tate. It feels like women need to trend in the other direction or dudes are gonna want to beat them back into the kitchen at some point. Even voter lines are starting to look eerily like male vs females now because the whole race pandering nonsense hit its peak already and is facing backlash.
Letting women and LGBT++ run things was a fricking mistake. It's the reason why western video game industry is imploding right now
Women dont make creative decisions, you are placing blame on people who have less power than you do. If your game decides to pander less to you that is the fault of the corporate overlords who only look at numbers to make any kind of decision
>Women dont make creative decisions
This lie no longer works.
Pagpagpags
Seeing how much /gig/ and /hsrg/ talk about it, it's probably their favorite meal.
Don't care. Remove the FeMC and we're talking.
>remove FeMC
>kill your game
why would they do this?
FeMC
>>kill your game
no suck thing
>cater to the audience that's underage and barely adults
>meaning they have no money
>or the audience that's older and have lots of dispensable income
hmmm I wonder which is best
>Source? My ass.
>dispensable income
>Azur Lane audience
The other day I asked some Azur Lane anons how much they've spent and the most was maybe $2700 over a 5-6 year period
I've E6S5'd a few Star Rail characters back when I was playing that game. It cost maybe $1200-1500 per character on average. This was within a 4 month period. I was also not even that big a spender compared to those in my friend group.
Making a game that panders to normalgays like "me" will make way more money than pandering to whoever the frick the Azur Lane player base is.
Most Star Black folk are F2P. The devs already said they're pandering to straight men so you're welcome to frick off homo.
>Most Star Black folk are F2P
And Azur Lane players aren't? Isn't one of the main draws of AL that you can collect every girl for free and that the """""gacha"""""" is generous?
>collect costumes for the girls
duh
There isn't much to spend on Azur Lane.
Are you insinuating then that if the game copied Genshin gacha and made it cost $1000+ to max out any girl that Azur Lane would be making as much money as normie titles like Genshin?
I got bored lol
That $11000 I spent however is more money than what all of /alg/ has pooled for AL though and that's the kind of audience Manjuu is looking for now
You do know Genshun had a lot of factors that allowed it to grow as big as it is, right? I doubt any Genshin clone will be able to surpass Genshin, at most they will suceed in carving out their own niche..
Genshin*
Minor spelling mistake. Sorry.
So why did you stop playing then? It's pandering to "normalgays" like you right? Why did you quit?
>maybe $2700
I said at MINIMUM $2700, I only counted one type of purchase, not all the others.
In AL you only need to buy skins, you can max out all of the girls absolutely F2P. There is no need to drop money on getting the characters. The monetization models are completely different. You act as if people aren't spending money on the game because they are poor. Which simply isn't the case.
You act as if Manjuu raising monetization wouldn't result in a bunch of you gays crying about P2W
Manjuu wants more fricking money Black folk
They obviously aren't going to get it from you fricks because any attempt to try will result in outrage
So now they're trying to do it with another game and of course you fricks are crying about how your $10 skins are going to developing a new game for real richgays instead of your haremgay poor asses
>You act as if Manjuu raising monetization wouldn't result in a bunch of you gays crying about P2W
>P2W
How? What the frick is there to win in a PvE game?
>Manjuu wants more fricking money Black folk
No shit, why do you think AL Merch sells as well as it does? People buy it. Manjuu is a company, no shit they want money.
>They obviously aren't going to get it from you fricks because any attempt to try will result in outrage
Yet anytime Manjuu has added something to AL that costs money, people have enjoyed it.
>So now they're trying to do it with another game and of course you fricks are crying about how your $10 skins are going to developing a new game for real richgays instead of your haremgay poor asses
Where have I complained? Why is people wanting more content for the game they play suddenly a bad thing as well? I've spent plenty of money between Genshin and HSR. Probably equivalent or close to what you have. Literally all you are doing ITT is trying to have a dick measuring contest with how much money you have pissed out into gacha.
You have a ton of poorgays in /alg/ complaining about this game being a Genshin clone because they're afraid of israeli gachas
The majority of /alg/ are literally poorgays who only play the game because you can get everything F2P and they only need to spend money 2-3 times a year for skins for their favorite characters
Meanwhile richGODS don't care, we just care if the game is fun enough and if our richGOD social circles are playing it
Our opinions are the ones that matter
Why wouldn't new games try to appeal to us? We spend more than the entirety of you people combined
All the Changs crying on the Internet should just stick to Azur Lane and continue spending $5 a month to keep their ships from barely sinking literally
>Why wouldn't new games try to appeal to us?
If this were the case, these homies wouldn't go into every new gacha and b***h and moan about why it's not pandering to them.
The ones crying the hardest right now though are literally haremgays chanting for no feMC
And? That doesn't change you homosexuals crying about the game clearly not being for you. Those people will play because it's a waifu game, they're just trying get rid of any cancer that might grow in their fandom.
It is for me though. I like playing with female MCs. It's haremgays that this game is not for
Except those haremgays are the ones who care about tge game the most. Especially in China, which is their main playerbase.
Okay so they can stick to Azur Lane then? You act like they are putting males and shipshit into the main game. No one cares if the old player base stops opening their wallet for the new game. Just keep supporting the game that's actually pandering to you.
You lost homo
>no argument
I accept your concession
Just stick to playing AL
Any money they might have lost from not getting you to play is more than 100x made up from the new audience they are appealing to
I see no concession in that post. Go back to Genshit Black person.
That so called new audience seems to be more interested in the likes of the arkfurries, though?
>they can stick to Azur Lane then?
Why would I spend any money on Azur Lane when I know that's just going to fund AP?
Then let your game die?? I don't give a frick but I'd think that you would want to keep supporting the game that panders to you than to stop and prove it further to corporate that waifugay pandering games aren't selling anymore so they just eos that and stop making any effort into pandering to your kind ever again
Except reviews show the players want waifu pandering, mihomoBlack person. Whyndo you think they were so vehemently against males?
moron, literally read Manjuu's post about everything. They literally say AL is doing fine and they are striving to do even better for the game.
That's just corporate speak, I have zero reason to trust them. Where is any of that reflected in AL at all? We don't even get new songs anymore.
I'm going to wait for CN anniversary this year, that's usually when they make the biggest announcements for upcoming content
I'm going to laugh if the whole stream is just dedicated to shilling AP. I'm also going to watch this month's revenue for next week's event (looks like a Bong one,) and see if AP negatively impacts it.
I'm not even the one you were replying to, Black person. Also, the people who are most interested in this are haremgays, not femcgays like you. There's a reason why so many reviews are asking to remoce the femc.
>keep their ships from barely sinking literally
PFFFT. Man you literally just proved my point for what you are doing. Do you seriously think the money AP makes won't go back into AL as well? Do you think the money you spend on Hoyoverse games didn't find its way to their other games? This in all honesty is a net win for AL.
>this is a net win for AL
If only /alg/ actually thought this
I can't blame them either, I am a bit sour all we have gotten outside the gacha for games is Crosswave. So I see partly where they are coming from. Either way, whenever they see tangible proof they will come around.
>the game with a dedicated and loyal fanbase
>not being a cash cow with constant and steady income
Why lose a revenue stream when you have a stranglehold on that niche? THAT would make zero sense.
>a dedicated and loyal fanbase
They clearly don't care about them or else they wouldn't have made a yurigay and shipgay game with their money.
Here, have a pity (you) for this incredibly shit bait
>Female MC
>Duh nuh uh it totally won't be shipgay and yurishit
Have you ever played any gacha game with a female MC before?
Are you moronic?
They would come shitpost the threads later anyway. Just look at WuWa threads.
He's a Mihomogay larping as a richgay and strawmanning all harem/waifugays as poorgays.
The problem is that having a femc eill make the game neutered in terms kf pandering and make it lukewarm like Genshin. Because that's how China works.
All this just makes it sound like the root of the problem is China and not the people wanting femc
Why in the frick would they re-invest their money from their new shipgay-targeting gacha into their ancient nearly a decade old male player-targeted gacha? That'd make zero sense.
lol
lmao even
>remove FeMC
>saves your game
Here fixed for you
This doesn't happen, moron. People would just use the male and keep playing.
Any adult male would refuse to play a game that forces you to play a shitty boring self-insert male character
>Any adult transsexual man from the globohomosexual western sphere of influence would refuse to play a game that forces you to play a traditional male character
You're welcome!
You're posting a game only kids and tendies bought?
>d-d-doesn't count
Black person almost every video game you played growing up had you play as a dude exclsuively, frick your pilpul bullshit. Next you're going to tell me video games are for children.
I kneel
Remove the Fem MC AND add incest.
>trying to imply harem KINGS nerd GODS arent absolutely loaded and stacked in all the fricking coins
>implying the western market isnt absolutely starved for a no bullshit non-troony no-cuck shit fantasy game
>implying CN and JP arent the same x10
Yeah I don't understand the fantasy world that homosexual lives in but in the real world there's a market for an open world waifu centric game
This thread is so dumb, both sides exaggerating for the wrong reasons
Ecelebs and the online discourse around the game are already salivating or are very positive about it and it stands out to them that it has no males that would seem from the gacha.
Manjuu has already officially announced it won't have males in the gacha so i think the game needs to do no further.
All the genshin doubters and coomers who are already a big demographic are already in sights of picking up the game. This has already succeded.
>Coomers
>Picking up a game with no for (You) pandering
Nope.
You do know the Yuri magical girl show became really popular and it's PURE yuri and coomer?
You know this is a Chinese game, right?
>yeah people DO love yuri coomer stuff.... BUT CHINESE DON'T OK!?
Holy mother of cope
>Japanese otakus and western trannies
>People
Gay shit is banned in China.
Yes, because yuri gachas are extremely sucessful lol
it doesn't need azur lane tier (You) pandering, it already won't have homos in the gacha pool.
That alone puts it miles in front of genshin for all the other people sick of mihoyo's little forced shipping mini stories
>it doesn't need azur lane tier (You) pandering
Yes it does.
If they want to fail, yeah.
>Nuh uh everyone's a gay shipper like me and
>women will get mad if this game becomes successful
>they will start to mass report the game to CCP
It'll be the CN arkBlack folk again
This has happened like 5 times (famously once from arknights fans), and yet the game is still here, 7 years later.
And now the devs used those 7 years of revenue to shit out a genshin copy that will EoS in 6 months. It may go the tower of fantasy route and live on as a zombie, maybe.
We now know why we didn't get more muse ships with new original songs...
Manjuu has been reported to feminists multiple times and dealt with multiple censorship waves for azur lane, they know the workarounds, mihoyo is just cucked because they want.
Pretty sure they're just waiting for the game to get released to get some ammos to report.
It'll be Azur Lane all over again where Arknights femoids and feminist mass reported the game
kys yuritroon
This thread is just going in circles. The Mihomosexual isn't gonna acknowledge this game is for straight males so it's better to just stop wasting your time.
This game is for straight males
Straight males can play as a femc
>b-but not in china
I don't give a frick about China I just want to look at a cute girl and not an ugly Chongyun expy
>I don't give a frick about China
These games only get ported when they're successful in China.
FeMC will downgrade the character interactions. If you still can't understand that after 1400 posts then you're just a fricking moron.
FeMC will upgrade all the other characters personality, character and interaction like crazy. Because if the game is just (You) pandering no other characters are allowed to look at each other, interact or have any kind of personality
>The only personality is shipping
Harem self-inserters are so insecure that if a character even looks at someone else or is not mindlessly in love with (you) for no reason they feel threatened.
I play these games primarily for the pandering. Why would I want shipbait instead of having all girls be for (me) or platonic like a lot of mihomosexual characters?
Personally I play gacha for the exemplary gameplay, live service story with a clear plan of when and how it ends with impeccable pacing and most importantly a realistic lived in world.
Bait? Or are you just being ironic?
Yurigays are also problematic.
Does it matter if it's bait or not when there's a bunch of morons with that line of thinking unironically?
>FeMC will upgrade all the other characters personality
No it fricking won't. Imagine actually believing that shit.
your low self-esteem is leaking out anon.
See, with a female MC we attrack these kind of yuri troons. We need faceless MC only, and implied sex in affection events.
I do not have too much hope, seeing that they removed e-girls and added potatoes in their place.
But there was never much hope in the first place.
You guys do realize it being a female only gacha probably filters most of the shitter mihoyo fans right?
>gayhoyo fans have 3 gachas to play soon
>still need to inject their shit into every other gacha
Why?
>gayhoyo fans have 3 gachas to play soon
4
Because you keep luring them here, moron. The general consensus was to wait for technical test to judge further.
They will also shit on the game if actually tries to become a genshin competitor, just look on how Mihomosexual gays treats WuWa
nta but you are moronic and a homosexual
>nta but you are moronic and a homosexual
See, you dodge the question because you know that every fricking game like this with a female MC we NEVER end up with any of the girls liking you. Look at Mihoyo's shit.
Sorry i miss quote, that was meant for this homosexual
Oyohim fanbase is full of women and trannies nowadays. They always want to infect places and spread their ideas like cancers they are
If you could read(you can't) I literally said I played HSR and Genshin not even a few responses ago.
Yes we know you're a gay no need to repeat yourself.
>he is now pretending that mihoyo games don't have (you) pandering
here we go again
>All the girls in Genshin are for (You) bro!
>Meanwhile every event ships a girl with someone else
Tell me about your Nahida bro
The thing about mihoyo is if they were upfront about which girls are shipshit, I wouldn’t even mind. They are not. You roll at your own peril. Maybe you get lucky your girl never talks to anyone like Yelan.
>not playing both sides
its like you hate fun
>fujos and yuritroons on social media being so disappointed and more or less calling people incels
Future looks bright.
Good sign indeed
More like return to the way it used to be before all the pandemic shit.
>Manjuu was also very quick to clear this male drama out
>they will very likely deal with FemMC problem too
>they will make even more trannies seeth
Very bright indeed
I don't get people who say shit like "No way, it's Manjuu, they'd never make a shipshit game!" when they've already betrayed their fanbase and previous assumptions about them by including female MC in the first place.
>strawman
>meanwhile every event [Headcanon]
Please, keep going.
>In denial about Scaramouch still
I decided to play the game after a while, mainly because I was tired of getting secondhand info about it.
For instance
>Jean and Lisa
Why is this a ship? Lisa more often than not gets you to hit Jean up. Hell one time she literally tells you that Jean is out on the balcony alone and you should go talk to her...not to mention all the times you can blatantly flirt with her. Lisa even ships her off with you for the summer event.
This is why you don’t let those troons into your fanbase. They don’t even care if the game itself made Lisa tell (you) to go after Jean. They just ship every female and yell online until people accept it.
I guess that is the most annoying thing? I can't even talk the actual in game story or dialogue without SOMEONE injecting their headcanons/ships into it. It is rather annoying.
I haven't gotten to it yet, however with what I have seen so far I am expecting it to just be another nothing burger that got blown out of proportion.
Hell, I even remember seeing cuckposts about Shenhe in a unrelated general, and just watching Cloud Retainer's trailer shows me how delusional that is.
Again, go play the Nahida event.
>go to bed
>wake up to 300+ new posts
>it's nothing but culture war garbage
Time to go back to playing AL. Hope AP is good, but there's nothing to do anymore but wait.
stupid gay, speculation and community interaction is the appeal of live service games.
Is not that there's nothing to do but wait, instead there's nothing to do but talk with your fellow anons (except yurigays, those are subhuman).
Yurichads won
>Personally I play gacha for the exemplary gameplay
Expect more complaints from chinks if its mostly platonic stuff when the beta drops.
Good. You need to put a little pressure sometimes on these devs when they step out of line.
And that is a good thing. Hopefully enough pressure to remove FemMC and add oaths to the game
the potatos are a turnoff
there better be real e-girls in this instead of just potatoshit
There are, like the pink girl with the staff and the archer
The potatoes are cute as frick though?
>I'm not into toddlercon looking homies and can't get my dick hard to them tho
That sounds like a you problem
Right? The one good thing I can say about this game is that it'll produce some good Harvin and Lalafell tier potato mashing.
That's fine and all but some actual e-girls would be nice.
Yes that is one of the many, many negatives about this game, no e-girls.
I like potatoes
>morons think they will remove the female MC
It's like you never played Chinese games before
I've seen how every gacha with a female MC is dogshit.
Genshin and Star Rail are making a ton of money though?
Granblue and FGO are the forerunners of gacha and also have female MC?
Problem is Granblue and FGO aren't Chinese, so they can go all out with (you) pandering or whatever else they want to do.
>female MC
>(you) pandering
Doesn't compute
You clearly haven't played FGO then.
>fgo
Trash game, MC got cucked by a lion
troony
Doesnt matter what gender you pick in those games
Girls will still want to suck on your futa wiener if you pick female MC
Too bad china is living backwards and doesn't allow this yet
>futa
Not an actually thing. Are you a troony?
>Not an actually thing. Are you a troony?
>he doesn't know that Merlin LITERALLY does this for someone in the Fate universe.
Cmon bro
No one cares about your cuckshit game
One grub character literally traps you in a barrier with just her and tells you that you cannot leave until you ravage her
This happens regardless if you're male or female MC
If only China allowed this
Dudes literally have exclusive scenes wjth you if you play as the FeMC in FGO. Same with the MaleMC but for girls instead.
(me)
TL:DR: FeMC in FGO is for women and gays.
There is also one character that loves (you)(male) but is friends with (you)(female). They are extremely explicit with how she feels if you are male vs female.
Sucks how no other gacha with a gender selector tries to copy this, they copy all of the monetization of FGO but none of the nice stuff
I said 'dogshit', idiot. Read.
Your definition of dogshit is wrong then if these games make money
>Making money is the same as being good
Now you are an idiot.
Making money and being popular means a lot of people think it is good
A lot of people thinking it is good > one salty bitter homosexual who thinks his gacha with male MCs is better
sounds like you never played a chinese gacha game before moron.
Step 1: Remove Female MC
Step 2: Put Female MC as a gacha playable instead
Tons of Chinese people are recommending just that. Gotta wait a year or two to see if Manjuu will actually do it, let's hope they do.
>year or two
The game has to be released before Jan. 2025 or it will lose its license
>the same morons that believed a moronic "leak" also said they should do this!
>we should listen to the morons!
You should listen to the Chinese players, yes.
Yes? Chinese players are wary about it after the GFLw fiasco. AL even cancelled a vtuber collab because a streamer made a joke about being isekai'd to azur lane and the players thought he would be part of it.
GFL2*
NGA is not all of china, that's like saying western players are all from reddit
Well let's look at GFL2 and see what 'all of China' thinks about shitting on waifugays. Hmm, seems like they're losing a lot of money huh?
>having a female MC = doing cuck shit
Yes? Can you name a single Chinese gacha that does otherwise?
The point is that you are pretending this is a nothingburger when Manjuu was forced to put out an statement because of speculations of these chinese players.
Yeah something that didn't have anything to do with the female MC
And these same people changed their review ratings after Manjuu's statement but are still complaining about FeMC.
And yet they still give it full stars, so clearly it's not such a big issue
For now. It depends on how the beta goes.
He is a disingenuous homosexual, he is literally doing this shit on purpose to shitpost
People said the same shit about GFL2 cuck drama and their game is fricking dead, you can cope as much as you want moron
Anon, it's like two or maybe 3 at most schizos on this thread moaning about the FeMC and how in their delusion they think it means no (You) pandering before the game itself is out. If having a game having a FeMC is enough to trigger you, then you should unironically have a nice day where no one can see.
No e-girls no buy.
This, also Elin characters
and tons of JCs
>e-girls
They're a matter of height and that's why i suggested character customizations. Though the changs obviously prefer being a twink so there goes all hope.
Tbh the fanbase be fine. Most of trannies are already busy with mihoyo anyways. They’re not gonna swarm to a lesser popular game which means you can shit on any morons pretty easily.
Explain to me why femaleMC is a bad thing? I want to play as a cute girl tho.
The difference about GFL2 is that
>directly linked to the previous game sharing characters and lore while AP isn't
>explicit lines about being cucked in GFL2 while nothing remotely even happened in AP - it's literally all just schizo babble
>only GFL players care about GFL2 while AP players don't really care about AL
>AP players
Literally don't exist, it's not out moron.
Just erase the female mc. Honestly it’s not really needed.
Nah, if it triggers you this much go play your png collector game.
Having a female MC means there are no oaths/marriages, no intimate or sexual dialogues, and less overall fanservice interaction since they have to balance on both MC genders. This is the opposite of what people were initially drawn to with AL
It's that SIMPLE
Play a porn game, holy shit
play homosexual games instead of infecting others with your homosexualry
>Just watch porn bro!
Why do you think the game is called Azur Promilia? They obviously want their old customers to play it as well.
>These guys from the harem game with a male MC will totally like our sexless female MC game!
Blame Manjuu for thinking that. They obvipuslt wanted to use AL's name to attract players.
your twitter checkmark is showing
I initially asked for 5, even went easy on you and went down to 3 under one condition, and you can't even do that much. Do us all a favor and have a nice day genchink
Hilarious. You are acting just like the people you hate. The same Black folk who create out of thin air "canon" ships because the other character looked at each other for longer than 3 microseconds. That's how pathetic you look.
Not even GI a "homosexual slop" game does romantic stuff with the FeMC. You are fighting ghosts anon.
You are literally going to play it for a week maybe, complain that you can't do everything in one click or leave the game playing itself in the background and seethe at the most basic human interactions of the female characters in the world. You are already seething about the game without even being able to play it while I'm excited to try it out. Projection much?
If I play it for a week only that would be a week longer than you'd play it, parasite. You have no interest in playing this game, you just want to spite the people who do, because their very existence makes you seethe.
I have been playing games for over 20 years now. The only parasite in this thread is you. Before Manjuu announced that it was a female only gacha you were calling to boycott the game and how it was DoA. have a nice day homosexual.
the parasite is a zoomer, what a surprise
Stop engaging with this moron, dude. He'll keep going forever at this rate.
So you are 21 at most. Frick off kid
You know these people don't play porn games because I play the ones with huge titty female MCs and self insert as the ugly bald ojiisans fricking the female MC in a cow print bikini cosplay every time
True porn connoisseurs have no problem with female MC we've already learned how to enjoy things without self inserting as the main character all the time
What I don't get is why there's so little effort and money put into making different interactions for different gendered player characters. It's not a matter of "not enough budget", but where that budget is going. Most gacha players don't play for a huge open world, but for the character interactions. If a company like Manjuu has the money to dump into making all of these environments and animations, they could cut some of that and improve the character interactions instead because they matter so much more than surface level garbage like pretty locations and Pokemon fights.
that's gonna be a coding hell and prone to branching too far.
Honestly if you get filtered by the female MC, good riddance. I don't want to share this game with Black folk like you moaning at the first sign girls are interacting with each other.
You're never going to be playing this game in the first place, you're yoo busy juggling your four Mihomosexual games.
Funny you say that because she's not gonna exist in the final game
Nah the best thing would be to repurpose the female MC into the male MC's brocon sister and make her part of his harem.
It would be worth it if the game had male characters, so the FeMC could get more explicitly romantic stuff. If they do that in the game as it is it will just turn the FeMC in a neutered option unless Manjuu adds that sort of content for the femc in a future global version.
>porn
lol so this is the sort of Black person that arrived from /gig/
jesus christ you morons are discussing exactly what was being discussed more than A THOUSAND REPLIES AGO
Because the genshitter keeps asking the same questions and anons engage with him.
The Gentard can't stop baiting
And yet you homosexuals really have nothing better to do than keep biting
Terminally online
Not me. I'm merely an observer. If I had my eyesight back I'd be playing vidya instead.
How is this thread still alive? This is the longest and fastest thread in the history of this board.
>oldest thread in the catalog is 14 days old
wonder how many posts this thread will get by the time it archives
>oldest thread
it's one(uno) years and counting btw, welcome to /vmg/ and please don't lure too much morons here.
no i meant 14 days since last reply, was measuring an estimate as to how long it would take this thread to archive after reaching bump limit
Based chinks for forcing homo$harts out of this game
gatekeep the game from homotards or you will end up like genshit
Ngl I'm straight but I'd have rolled for Gojo
I hope we can make the MC look like him
>i'm not gay!
>yeah but I refuse to play the game unless I'm FORCED to play a twink male MC
very few people are complaining about the fem mc right now, anyways
reception is positive now after the announcement last night but i think they should drop a beta fast because its main weakness is looking really generic and with WuWa in the corner people will start making harsher comparisons
definitely will benefit from heavier pandering because everyone that is commenting over there just wants anime breasts
>very few
Literally lying, last time i checked even the 5 stars reviews was telling them to remove the FemMC, people in china are just giving Manjuu their trust because of their good will
I just checked and there's barely anyone complaining
read more comments then, i bet even in NGA and Tieba is the same shit. People in China will get even angrier if they sanitize the dialog because of the FemMC or even worse, if they add Yuritrash
I just did and barely anyone complains, not sure what your deal is.
Not sure what Your deal is, you really think all their complains about the FemMC just vanished because they chill out after getting what they wanted once? This is just them giving their trust and waiting to see what's going to happen. Btw while writing this i already saw people even mentioning that they don't want this game to be sanitized garbage like genshin and meming about GFL2 situation
What complaints? It's just a few few posts "complaining" about the Female MC, it's a problem you've made up in your head that doesn't really exist.
nta but chinks have become really volatile after the GFL2 scandal. As someone who plays Snowbreak I've seen how carefully seaslug has been when dealing with them.
Then keep the low score until they remove the female MC, why bump it up
Because he's full off shit and making up stuff to stir drama here
Chinks aren't up to speed with the implications yet, last controversy only blew out because a direct leak happened
Only like 30% of the chinks know the implications of the female protag
The yuri or the sanitary?
Even the GFL2 drama took a while and happened pretty much on the game release to explode to the insane proportion that is right now
based
check the comments now, they have slow down and that one that i cropped was the only one mentioning anything mc related
Wuwa is going to release before this game anyway, don't think there is much point in fighting for attention for now.
Promilia looked very "complete" already if what we saw in the gameplay weren't complete scripted bullshots
In any case, this game has been in dev since 2021, that's a very very short for a game that looks as massive as it is in its trailer from a developer not precisely known for their technical prowess and owners of an IP that is not a top chart money maker either
I think fem mc is the last of Promilia's problems right now because it looks like its over promising with its trailer and it will be very undercooked.
I could be massively wrong and Manjuu hired some mega top tier talent but i doubt it.
Considering how bad Genshin's combat is all it takes for Promilia is to have just a decent and ok combat and that the pokémon system is not ass. If they manage to do this and not censor outfits and stuff I think they can really grab an untapped audience.
I was not talking about audience anymore i was talking about dev time and potential on release content
>Promilia looked very "complete" already if what we saw in the gameplay weren't complete scripted bullshots
A lot of games already looks complete in trailers, but that don't mean anything. Game is probably going to take at least a year or maybe even 2 to release
>disingenuous post
>pretending that this was not the first problem chinese complained about it even before the supposed leak about males in the gacha
homosexual
read their comments and you are going to see them saying that they just increase because of their good will and will review bombed again if they they piss them off and that includes the FemMC and the possibility of that affecting the writing of the game + yuri garbage being added
have a nice day mihomosexual homosexual
>bump the score up
>huh I guess things are okay now no need to change anything else
What if this happens, who do we blame?
Damn is almost like people can read what the reviews are saying and is almost like people who wrote the review can change the score whenever they want to threaten them
WuWa artstyle just sucks tbh, hard to make that game look good. It's like Tower of Fantasy 2.0
I feel like people are more inclined to read bad reviews than good ones, at least I do that.
>A lot of games already looks complete in trailers
wuwa looked like shit AND STILL LOOKS LIKE SHIT wtf are these solid color sky boxes and textureless zones? the only thing they have polished so far is the premium characters
And the enemies i guess
Wuwa has too much black, white and gray. The characters look really bland.
WuWa is just one of the upcoming Genshin clones.
>I'm not an incel!
>Yeah but I refuse to play the game if it has rollable males or even a female MC.
I might play this depending on how the beta goes. If it is sanitized like Genshin I won't play it.
I just hope AP doesn't influencr AL's schedule too much.
It's separate teams, and this game has been in the works since 2021. So I doubt it.
>doesn't influence
>future tense
if it should've done it, it already did without you noticing
How could one possibly miss the absolute lack of new mechanics, wedding skins, retrofits, and original songs (with Muse events) that has been going on since 2021, unless said person doesn't play the game and is a tourist.
>we don't know what character interactions will be like
>we don't really know much about the game in general actually
Why continue to speculate on these things, wait for the beta to drop and we will get a better idea of what the game is going to be like.
>first someone shit posted about the game will totally have playable male characters in the gacha for sure
>the moment that stopped they started doing the "Chinks are in uproar because there's a female MC!"
Chinks were in uproar because they thought they were Manjuu wanted to abandon their old audience and because males.
I thought i was the only one that thought Wuthering Waves was an eyesore, they really really need to work more on their environments, the half assing and then using post-apoc as an excuse is so lame
Game just looks really bad thanks to the artstyle and colors
looks cool
yeah that artwork looks good, does not reflect the game though
too much gray and black
Looks like shit
Meanwhile in the AP trailer when they shifted scenes to flying through the canyon I was stunned.
Wasn't there a big drama in Snowbreak over yuri a few weeks ago and devs came out and publicly said the game will never have female MC option? So it's not a topic Chinese are unfamiliar with
Snowbreak is bizarre they retconned two girls being friends, said girls gave 0 indication they were yuri, from what I've seen at least.
Yeah, I'm not someone who wants yuri fans anywhere near my games, but I dislike the idea of female characters not being able to interact with one another at all due to fear of annoying yuri shippers. Half of Fenny's characterization is wanting to upstage Lyfe, if they remove that too, it would be a shame
They should've put their foot down at least on that
I'm fine with lesbian bawds as long as they also lust after the male MC
The snowbreak devs took advantage of the GFL2 scandal to court their players. The GFL2 players (and chinese waifugays in general) are kind of on edge after the Raymond BS, so yeah...
The devs also changed some character models to become more fanservicey too thanks to the feedback.
Devs said the game wont have any yurishitter garbage and no NTR trash
>concern trolling just like in the snowbreak general
You lost
He is full of shit and probably don't even play the game. Snowbreak board was full of tourists like him after some chink posted on reddit that the devs gave all yurishitters the middle finger. If anything the story of the game just got better after they went full (you) pandering and the MC being more of a gigachad
>Devs said the game wont have any yurishitter garbage and no NTR trash
Self-insert gays will seethe if two character just as much look at each other.
lol no, its yurishitters like you will scream gay sex if 2 females interact for 1 second
1 less game without your shitty troony fetish, you lost homosexual
They weren't even gay yet they managed to do a stinky over it
Good on the devs for not giving yurishitter an inch because everyone knows they will take a mile if you let them. Their revenue doubled after that btw
From the way you talk about it there must've been a lot of yurigays shipping it
Seaslug really capitalized on that opportunity and saved their game.
See
>lgbt trash
Just admit that you are a troony
Nothing lgbt in liking anime bawds
gay cope
falseflagging Black person
I'm fine with it as long as I'm higher priority than the other girl and they are both mine.
The right mindset
There's no problem so long as they are both (Your)s.
you are right tho
It looks like they spent more effort in the male charaxtera in WuWa than the females.
>characters*
Oops, typo.
>on Ganker
>hating yuri
I fricking hate election tourists
Really, I don't hate yuri. I hate the people behind it using it as shipshit.
LGTV mindbroke the zoomers. They think now yuri = LGTV pandering when it was never the case before. I wish I could go back to 2014 when I could still enjoy comfy shows of girls doing girl things without some ape screaming "OMG YURI Black person, YOU ARE GETTING KEKED"
I might be getting old but it always baffles my mind when people act like this when yuri is mentioned.
Yuri has always been core part of anime/Ganker culture.
One think is liking it because it's hot and another is for le hecking wholesome relationship.
Yuri is only good for porn, or the porn potential, anyway,
What do you have against wholesome relationships
Like I said, yuri is good for porn. If you watch it exclusively for the "pure" aspect then you're exactly the kind of person weebs in general should filter.
I don't watch it exclusively for the pure aspect but considering how rotten and self-centered I see some people acting I feel like it's a breath of fresh air when no none of that is involved
I've seen that type of yurigay. They are obsessed with purity and think of men as dirty, the more extreme ones begin to hate themselves. Very likely to troon out.
Are we that different, you just asked for a purge on male characters and is actively worrying about male npcs, the only difference is that I dislike self-inserting.
I wasn't saying you were that kind of yurigay. I was talking about that kind of self-hating extreme yurigay.
Really I thought you were, anyways it's not like I want all girls to be gay or hate all male characters, but I need to ask, do you people genuinely have fun by reducing characters personalities to just another harem member, do female characters have no value outside of being in your harem?
In this yes, absolutely. I don't play gacha for any other reason than collecting girls, otherwise I'd just play normal games.
Do their motivation, history, relationships, goals or aspirations interest you one bit, is being in your harem the only important thing or else shes worthless?
I don't play gachas for the story, period.
You're in a thread surrounded by AL fans. If you ever played that game for more than a month you should understand the kind of bottom feeders that game attracts with how shamelessly pandering to the male gaze and male perspective it is.
t. AL player
>how shamelessly pandering to the male gaze and male perspective it is.
as it should
if you dont like it go play a hoyo game, it has all the homosexual pandering you want
It's funny how you think I don't like AL. I absolutely adore it, it appeals to my conditioning to want to be an alpha male surrounded by subordinate women who love my dick and won't end my life if I grope them or sexually assault them. I just see the game for what it is, an incel magnet that has very little respect for its female characters, and embrace it because my animalistic side loves it.
based, but my point stands, the people who dont like that can go play something else instead of ruining this game for us
why are you so self hating?
>Using Feminist language designed from the grounf up to shame heterosexual men for taking an interest in the only interesting thing about most women
Frick right off with that.
You don't have to feel shame for being interested in the female form or personally enjoying games that objectify women, it just helps to be aware that a lot of media is aimed at heterosexual men and AL goes a few steps above that with its depictions. Enjoy your escapist fantasies, but don't deny reality or you'll hurt yourself and the people around you.
>Enjoy your escapist fantasies, but don't deny reality or you'll hurt yourself and the people around you.
You're projecting. Things like that goes without saying.
low quality concern trolling
As someone who plays stuff like FGO, that contains actual canon couples, For (You) characters generally have better characterization than characters in a relationship.
(me)
Because shipping often becomes their entire character. It's more common for that to happen to them than For (You) characters.
That lines up with what I've seen, the writing for both generally just revolves around being a couple. Instead of two separate people, who just so happen to in a relationship
Janus would be disappointed.
Why do you reduce characters' personalities to shipping only? If a character is not romantically shipped with another one, they have literally nothing going for them? Is that all characters are for in your eyes?
>this is a arrogant, strong, proud and level headed female character
>but for some reason she falls in love with your for no reason and worships you like a god because you said "hi" to her
Because it doesn't work
but it works if she's in love with another girl huh
>the arrogant, strong, proud and level headed female character
>has a friend that has known her since childhood that was appointed as her servant
>she is clumsy but loyal and dedicated and has gained her friends respect and love as time went on
This is just a bad example, but the point is it's way more believable and easier to write two characters that actually has a personality and character to be together.
For some character traits and personalities it is actually impossible, makes zero sense and is not believable at all for them to instantly fall in love with the MC for no reason. It works for some character traits, but not most.
>girl that's quiet doesn't trust anyone and has been a loner their entire life and don't like people
>instantly falls in love with (You) because you did one single thing for her
vs
>she forms a relationship with a super happy clingy person that sees good in her and won't stop bothering her because she knows deep down she's lonely and a good person
Except the gacha format makes it hard to develop characters, since it relies on FOTM to survive and there's too many characters to juggle.
Because of that, developing characters and relationships becomes hard. Gacha is just a bad format if you are looking for that sort of thing.
Priconne and BA do it by just spamming alts
Yeah it's hard but character development like that can work, some of my favorite Arknights character has that.
And if nothing else you can write it in their backstory as well how they used to know each other, it's hard to introduce a new gacha character and have their backstory that they already know (You) since long before.
So character romances are these deep intricate developments but character-player romances are flanderized I Like Him Because He's Nice? Interesting.
It's a strawman. Most canon couples I've seen in gacha suffer from these same problems they claim all For (You) charcters suffer.
How else are you going to appeal to the self insert incel that acts like everyone who disagrees with him is either a Hoyoverse shill or a LGTV mentally ill Black person?
Considering you're using terminology only those groups use, I don't think you should be surprised people see you for what you are.
Because it's pretty obvious this Mihomogays have been here for a while. Their writing style, images and the e-celebs mentioned in this thread givew them away.
These people are beneath even moebuta galge players
They are literally incels who hate women
The only good women are just dolls that do whatever the incel wants
Women do not need to have goals or personalities outside of the shallow one note tropes designed by the incels for his tastes
As incels they have been shit on by life at every turn and just want to play with dolls and pretend they are cool in the eyes of their dolls
When you take that away from them and make their waifus pay attention to anyone else that isn't the incel then of course they will go on a full incel rage because they need to defend the only "love" they will ever receive in their lives
Reminder that these people are so moronic they can't even play through a VN without guides because their autism literally has them making the wrong choices each and every time and lock themselves out of getting any girls route
It's why the girls need to unconditionally love you no matter how moronic you may be
These subhumans are literally hopeless
Too long, didn't read.
yikes being a terminal contrarian to Ganker is the only thing you have in life to act like this huh?
silence, femcel
I mean, that's just what you get when you have games that pander to them. If you want people to be more self-aware, then improve society itself.
Well lucky for you they are still the minority, just like the femcels. Otherwise Manjuu would've never made a game like Azur Promilia and instead kept milking them with a PNG collector that takes 24 hours a week to keep running and has stopped receiving real content for years. The same Black folk on this thread that moan about the FeMC would be happy with a rock collector using Power Point as long as the ever so slightly inclined to be female rocks were for (You) and not another rock, even if they are rocks and you are a real person.
>would be happy with a rock collector using Power Point as long as the ever so slightly inclined to be female rocks were for (You) and not another rock, even if they are rocks and you are a real person.
i mean it would be a novelty
Same sex romance is weird. I don't feel as grossed out as man x man but I can't get into it. It's weird.
I was about to say he is a haremgay but even haremgays are okay with their harem having a good relationship between harem members
These are are mentally ill gays who seethe at the idea of women having any kind of relationship outside of with them
I like both of those
Yeah, I have no interest in the romantic aspect of Yuri.
Also, while girls shlicking with each other is hot, I'd rather be in the middle with them.
Same
half the yurishit I see is literally abuse shit. Hell, just look at HSR. People are cheering for Archeron/Black Swan when she got mind raped to hell and back, wants nothing to do with that again...and people push it while going.. LE TOXICITY IS BASED YURI
/hsrg/ is full of unironic trannies. Last time I was there I saw trannies talking about their transition and ERPing.
Same with /gig/ posting gay porn 24/7, they are call Mihomosexual for a reason
Last time I was in there was people vehemently saying Kafka is your "mother" and not interested in you and her sending you a picture of her chest or agree to go on a movie date was nothing.
>Arlechino attempts to kill her
>has her break down and cry about it
>SHIP IT
This is why I had "yurihomosexuals"
same shit happened with arlechino and furina in genshin.
hoyoslurpers are just mentally ill
You need to realize that not all people self-insert and for those people it's a clear choice to see 2 female characters in a relationship rather than another male and female.
This entire division only exist because people that self-insert honestly think that EVERYONE does it and there's no other option.
I don't self-insert into everything, I just don't see value in yuri other than the sexual aspect of it. I love anime bawds, that's it.
Whatever, it isn't like we're gonna change each other's mind anyway. The priority is to filter the mentally ill from the community (Homoverse, twitter homosexuals, western "normalgays" in general).
>I just don't see value in yuri other than the sexual aspect of it.
I just told you, I rather see 2 women being cute with each other than 1 man and 1 woman being cute.
Like watching stuff like yuru yuri and lucky star, according to a lot of people here I'm a troony because I like watching cute girls doing shenanigans and having a fun time.
Now combine that with sexual attraction as well and you have yuri.
No, on average there's no sexual elements in yuri anime. The magical girl anime that's airing is an exception, and even then I rather watch the hot segments on Gelbooru.
I watch anime to experience a good story (which hasn't happened in a long time), rarely ever tune in for CGDT stuff.
Bro, yuri communities are full of rainbowgays who bring their 3dpd baggage together with them.
They unironically see it as representation instead of something made by guys who think girls being together is hot.
So what? Based on the community from Genshin the game is full of homosexual, trannies and lesbian characters. But if you actually play the game you quickly realize what the community says and what the game is about are completely two different things. Try to interact with any My Hero Academia fan on the west and they'll swear that all the characters are homosexuals and Deku secretly wants to be raped by literally every single male character he interacts with. If you can't separate the mental illness that is the normie anime community with the actual content you need to touch some grass anon.
Bro, we are on Ganker, stop with the reasonable posts and start shitposting.
Yes, but you have to understand that sort of content attracts that sort of person, and I want nothing to do with them.
So stop interacting with them holy frick. How hard is to just open the game and enjoy it and occasionally browse the fanart for the game? You care too much what other "people" think of the games you play.
In some kinds of hobbies you can't do that.
Let's say I have two options
>1. Gatekeep a certain demographic from the community of a game I enjoy
>2. Completely abandon the community of the game to that demographic and let them shape the public perception of the game while I only discuss the game with a close knit group of friends in private
Why would I ever go with option 2. when I can go with option 1. instead?
I want to be able to discuss games I like with other people online without having to worry about various freaks and mentally ill invading and taking it over.
this.
if we dont gatekeep these morons now it will be too late and we will end up like genshin, full of troons and shipgays
You're a 100% correct. Genshit showed me that gatekeeping is incredibly important, otherwise the entire community goes to hell.
If you stop interacting with them they will be the only ones voicing their concerns and devs will start listening to them only. See: Devs being pressured to add gays to Rune Factory because of some homos being loud.
>See: Devs being pressured to add gays to Rune Factory because of some homos being loud.
I never played Rune Factory, what's the issue with this if girls are still romanceable? From what I heard RF4 has great female love interests.
Rune Factory went from 12 marriageable waifus to 6 because they added a female MC to the fourth game.
Then the fifth game added gay marriage and forced you to be gay if you ever talked to the bachelors.
Just don't talk to the bachelors
Just don't play the game.
Just don't
Oh okay
They also put in gay marriage while leaving out the e-girls they were originally suppoaed to put in. And that makes me mad.
supposed to*
Based.
I think what happens is that some people feel an unhealthy obsession with a community, whether it's a game/franchise's community or a general on Ganker or whatever. When they see things in a game or franchise that might shake up that community, things that could bring in people they hate talking about the thing, they view it as a threat even if its inclusion on its own is harmless to the product's quality.
Not when they can influence the product in question.
>Implying anything the morons moan about in the west changes something for games by asiatics or chinks
I'm not referring to games by asiatics or chinks tho?
I really don't get what's so great about yuri. In games like this of course I'd want the female characters to be all over me instead of some random character, even if they are a girl.
Its cute
I can assure you it's all zhangs and these Black folk would never browse Ganker in the first place if not for pushing whatever propaganda they're trying to call for
Even on modern Ganker shounenspics have dominated that board for almost a decade
2013 really killed Ganker and this website and moot got away with everything
I hate yurigays. Simple as.

Is there a post cap on these threads? I feel like we can literally hit 5000+ posts before this thread dies in 2 weeks
to be fair this topic has never been discussed before, all the circumstances are unique this time
How terminally online do you have to be to care about public perception of your gacha game
>O nyooo my only fwens on /vg/ and /r/gachagaming are going to make fun of me for playing a troony game NYOOOOO

When was the last time Azur Lane had a content update that wasn't the same dogshit "events" with an unreadable story and a farm this stage 500 times using an Emulator on the background to get the loot?
Literally a month ago.
I liked the TB grooming event
This mihomogay has been getting btfo'd over and over again for half this thread. It's not even worth it to argue with him.
That's why i started to ignore that homosexual, mihomosexual gays are mentally ill

yea dude the original manjuu fanbase is just a minority, yep
they clearly dont want them anymore, they want YOU the progressive transbian, yep
The manjuu fanbase that acts like you sure is a minority.

Sorry homos, this thread is for HaremGODs only.
not for long
The homosexual fears the HaremGOD.
You can be a harem god without being an incel you know? Shocker concept I know, but you rather play in a room full of dolls who are programmed to obey you no matter what you say or do. How sad is that even in a fictional world you have to feel this inferior? I think I had enough of laughing for tonight, cya tomorrow Black folk. Try to not have a nice day by tomorrow Ok?
Don't let the door hit you on your way out. Happy dilation, by the way.
>You can be a harem god without being an incel you know?
That's true but again dude, just look where you fricking are.
Yet you are here crying about chudcel haremgays on a dead board, you failed normalhomosexual.
lmao.This gay typed like a fricking woman.
>Incel Incel Incel

I want them to show the Elin and oppai e-girls already
I just want a flat e-girl that doesn't look like a potato.
Oh yeah that too
Shinobu is pure sex. I wish the degree of censorship in anime was at least as small as back when i watched this show. Tho nude shots of her bathing man...
it was dead over 1k posts ago its just haremKINGS objectively beating the shit out of shitposters and learning about how based our chinkbros are on the other side of the world
Thank god. It's more reassuring the fanbase will be better than any Mihomosexual gachas. I bet most femoids and trans are just stick with Genshin/HSR anyways.
Nothing. You can leave and go back to /gig/ now and start posting gay porn from your homos there.
Is anyone talking about the Pals?
pals?
Yes. Earlier. Have a look.
They're average. Gotta wait for more gameplay.
I like the Black personman
They'll probably add every mechanic except controversial stuffs like butchering and implied slavery to avoid raging pokefans.
The movement needs to be more fluid imo. I don't like how they snap when changing direction.
Yeah. I agree.
Depending on how the beta goes I can see this carving out it's own niche. It has its own appeal and it isn't just mindlessly copying Genshin for now.
I am here to kowtow below Manjuu
unf e-girl armpits...
that's a potato

Why does moron think that female mc=no pandering?
You can fix this easily by just change the pov to first-person pov when you oath the girl. You can then make the girl kiss the camera.
In that way the "kiss" doesn't depict two women kissing.
That won't be enough for chang schizos
I don't think the argument is "no pandering" its that the potential pandering is hindered.
>You can fix this easily by just change the pov to first-person pov when you oath the girl. You can then make the girl kiss the camera.
You already know if this does make it in, and it gets any sort of traction it will get reported to the CCP.
>In that way the "kiss" doesn't depict two women kissing.
While true, its also why you see most pandering in Genshin and HSR use flowery language to get the point across instead of just saying it outright. Which, if you can read I really don't see why that is so bad.
That's what I literally mean. Female MC won't reduce or hinder pandering. Azur lane shikikan still has ambiguous gender(though it's leaning to male).
If the kiss will get reported, I don't think kiss between Male MC and the girl will be safe either.
If the pandering include hug or hand-holding, I think it will be safe with female MC too. Because it doesn't automatically mean yuri. I don't think words of love will be ground for report to CCP. I think what ground for report is the action.
Tldr: Anything that isn't safe for female MC, won't safe for male MC too. And anything that's safe for male MC will be safe for female MC too.
>If the kiss will get reported, I don't think kiss between Male MC and the girl will be safe either.
No that's completely incorrent.
>hugs
>hand-holding
>maybe dates, or "romantic" situations
All these could happen, there just has to be enough room for some alternate interpretation. You won't see "love" be thrown around, like other anons said you'll get round-about ways to get the point across.
>Azur lane shikikan still has ambiguous gender(though it's leaning to male).
No, like the other anon said. Just going off words used by botes to describe him, SKK is a guy. You do not call a woman a stud.
I concede about shikikan gender. Not a fan of Nevada and Fdg disgust me, so I forgot about them. Your example is incorrect though, because it's from EN translation.
But for the "love" to be reduce, it's still your headcanon. The correct response is to wait and see from upcoming beta test. If it's really become as platonic like Ryza's characters lines, then I agree with the removal of female MC(if this is really the roadblock). But I'm more worried with age rating than this thing.
>age rating
now this just makes me think it’s going to be your normal power of friendship still and relatively platonic all across the board.
Then they will either
>a. go bankrupt
or
>b. funded by normalgays
but again, it's better to wait.
Its already considered "too coomer" by normalgays
I didn’t play it but how did Reverse 1999 do pandering? I heard most of the girls are gay as hell for the female MC.
>>>/vg/
>ambiguous
>boya
>shounen
you dont even play al, shut the frick up and go back
*flops*
>thinking literally what country's lore is relevant
utterly brainwashed.
>Different dialogue for both gender
This comes from a game developer that put in valentine letters for 600+ characters every year and added a free princess maker minigame for no other reason. It's very doable.
Yes, but as some anons said previously in this thread that would just turn the FeMC into a neutered option lol.
I bet all of the genshin killing devs feel stupid as frick now for losing to a fricking AL's successor
Too early to say how sucessful it'll be bro. Also, some streamers are already starting to call this a Genshin Killer as well.
Is this the promilia thread?
Anyway, the trailer sucks. The girls looks generic and I hate the chink aesthetic and kemono wanker can frick off. Give me IB theme you dicksucking homosexual.
I was going to bring up the point that a lot of people just want to play with a female lead.
Then immediately occurred to me that you just can give the player both the fem mc and the male mc at once and then just focus all the lines on the male mc.
All of the reviews that i have seen so far had people fawn over the Shinano expy
What the frick is an expy?

if promila is (you)sexual we talking
fem mc still has to be a playable unit and not a player character tho or else the game suffers for it
its that simple
That's some mad cope indeed
>>I'm tired of using borrowed concepts from other games
hilarious coming from someone whos going to play bootleg genshit
Even genshit barely has any original ideas, they borrow most of the concepts from other games and just combine them together in a way that attracted normies.
More news when?
I am unironically excited for news and the people's reaction lol
Just wait for closed beta. Then we'll get a lot more drama if they haven't removed the female MC.
There will be more drama IF they remove it.
no one cares about twitter trannies
Yeah lets remove 90% of the potential players to pander a super small minority of self-insert harem mentally ill people.
twitter trannies don't spend money
Why are you newbies like this?
Trannies need money to buy HRT; they don't have money to spend on gachas.
Just because you homos are the loudest on the internet doesn't mean you're the majority.
I'm pretty sure she won't survive until the final release
I was bitter a few days ago as an AL gay but after seeing the designs and girls a little more in details honestly it might be good, its not azur lane level of coom but they are pretty.
It being its own thing and not based on ww2 helps a lot in the character distribution and focus department, i hope.
eternally online troons arent 90% of the potential players you're less than 1% of the population worldwide under the widest umbrella count one could manage

That one fairy monster was pretty cute, hoping they have more human-like monsters to catch
Seems like they are going hard on the fairies and elves in this game, i just notice picrel might have a decent story role
Elves are lazy character design
Frick she's the perfect size
Into the Cum Jar she goes
the fairy is a cutie
wienery fairy needs human dick correction.
watching some youtuber right now
yep they are getting filtered by the all female cast already
Good
All the ecelebs that are outlining the all female cast basically love or hate it, no in between, more than 1 of them i've heard say that indeed this game has an unique market capture because there's no open world gacha with only females
Yeah T*ctone coomed himself all over the reveal, have fun with him and his shills
I don't give a shit about e-trash, the community is gonna be way better because homos won't be in it.
This. Hopefully the all girl cast will keep the shitters from hoyoverse from coming over so I don't have to see people crying about their ships when two characters glance at each other.
This is only a good thing. Tectone primarily covers Genshin and HSR, or just Mihoyo, in general since he's also gonna cover ZZZ most likely.
The other games, all he's doing is shilling them and giving them attention without bringing any of his Mihomosexual drama over.
Tectone is based and i'm tired of pretending he isn't.
Just wait until the big vtubers showcase it
Hoe-girlve aren't allowed to play chinktrash while Nijisanji has a contract with Mihoyo
No one cares about vtumors
also rarities
pets also have rarities so essentially your party has 6 characters because all pets also have an active skill
too many 5 stars
and a pet wheel for utility pets different from your active one
or these might all be just mounts
The only humans shown in the trailer are the Chinese girl form not Liyue and the MC
Well they did say Promilia is a multi-cultural, multi-species continent
The ongoing GFL2 drama should be a warning to all these devs. Mihomosexual can attract their LGBTBLMQQ+ crowd that they always pander to, but you better be careful what you release into the market.
Female ecelebs seem more organically interested into Promilia than they do for other gacha exactly because of the female cast and the emphasis on cute and bishoujo so i don't think fem mc is ever getting axed. Also Manjuu is managed by a female CEO and the main artist Soaryuna is also a woman.
This is why I tell people to support Nornium that game is basically everything everyone wants from AP, hell it's even going to have better jiggle physics too.
When is that shit even releasing? I'm only seeing the page for chink version on steam.
They just got through their first beta test a few weeks ago, I am assuming it will release by the end of 2024/ beginning of 2025 because they still need to add voice acting but the dev is regularly communicating with the EN side of the fanbase on twitter and discord.
No idea but here's the Steam page
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2877160/Nornium/
That and the farming and lifestyle stuff, women absolutely love that shit and the ones that aren't mentally ill don't mind the playable girls being cute. It's going to be funny if Promilia captures the sane female playerbase Mihoyo has and Genshin becomes even more concentrated mental illness than it already is.
Fujos and Yumes ruin every single franchise they touch for everyone else, developers that enable them are also largely the culprits
Yep just look at what the black swan dance did to the Star Rail fanbase.
>Yumes
They are fine
>Fujos
I agree
He says some stupid shit a lot, but at least he comes off as being honest with what he thinks about things.
that's yuritroons. just look at fgo, waifugays been fine for years occupying the space with yumes/fujo people. the one thing the franchise was never big on was attracting yuritroons. which is why hsr is so bad now after not even a year.
Take your meds
I think the reason FGO can get away with it is because they can be much more explicit. You know when someone is for (you), not for (you), ect.
if you really think about, it's perfect. yumes/fujos loves males, waifugays loves females. you both get to play in your little corners and don't need to step on each other's toes all the time.
yuritroons basically come into communities screaming about incels and how the girls are all gay and not for (you). tell me why these people would get along with the waifugays in the gacha community? they wouldn't, that's why hsrg is a dumpster fire and it's not even at its first anniversary.
>tell me why these people would get along with the waifugays in the gacha community?
I agree with you, they don't. Just go into any hoyoverse game discussion be that here, twitter,discords,twitter. Even when you are trying to talk about the game outside of shipping, they somehow inject that headcanon into their view about the game, and it is just annoying to try and talk about.
Hell I remember some of earlier /hsrg/ before I left because it kept going downhill
>any discussion about Kafka and/or her motives
>HAHA SHES FOR ELIO/NANOOK/BLADE KEKED!
Same shit with SW or whatever other girl.
I'm not into yuri but I don't understand anons who rather every girl be so into (You). I couldn't really get into Priconne or Blue Archive because of this. I'm not against the idea of any girls being into (You), but it starts to feel less special when everyone does it and you can't really expect anything different.
Wish more games took Nikke's direction. Not every girl in that game makes their entire personality revolve around riding your dick. Everyone says they hate platonic relationships but I rather enjoy that some of the Nikkes just have a really chill relationship with you instead of wanting your affection 100% of the time. It makes the moments where you actually have sex with Nikkes more special.
I guess in that situation would be
>holy shit I love this new character
>game has a history of for (you)
>get disappointed when said character turns out to not be one of them
I'd feel bad for them if that was the case.
I might just be too used to games that reuse characters for alts like holiday/summer versions etc. but that's probably not a thing for 3D open world games.
I'm honestly fine if a girl is not too into (You) at first but over time as the character gets more alt versions your relationship progresses. This is the kind of thing I'd like to see more often but it's probably hopeless for 3D open world games, especially considering they probably wouldn't do things like side stories/character episodes so you get to explore more about the character.
>I'm honestly fine if a girl is not too into (You) at first but over time as the character gets more alt versions your relationship progresses.
I like that BA does this some times. Saori, Haruna, and Izuna all come to mind.
>I don't understand anons who rather every girl be so into (You)
Everyone has different tastes so there's the chance they'll release a girl you really like but she happens to be the one that's for shipshit or whatever the hell. I also wouldn't want that to happen to other anons even if the girls I like happen to be the ones for (you).
>there's the chance they'll release a girl you really like but she happens to be the one that's for shipshit or whatever the hell.
I will NEVER recover from Thunder.
I will NEVER recover from that fish princess from the bloody Alice games.
I will NEVER recover from Uni from Hyper Neptunia 2
I will NEVER recover form AN-94
I will NEVER recover from the fact that I always end up really liking the one character in a given game that ends up purely being the designated yuri-bait with anothe0r character that I don't care about at all at best or actively dislike at worst.
I will NEVER recover.
this sums up my experience with mihoyo pretty well
>this Kiana character looks alright. White hair is my thing. And she just goes around shooting shit. And she's got a nun outfit. Give me a quick rundo-
>well, this Bronya character looks cute and has a cool golem What about he-
I knew nothing about it before then. It turned out the ones I liked were not just yuri in a yuri-centric game, but part of the biggest pairings you get crucified for if you even imply anything else.
for me it was Mei, I kinda lucked out with Rita.
>Kiana
>Bronya
Your post basically summarized my experience with HI3 lol. Ended up dropping the game around the Legion thing since the story was getting really shitty anyway. Then dropped Genshin around the Dehya patch because the way they were managing the game pissed me off.
>Then dropped Genshin around the Dehya patch
Inazuma killed it for me, the writing was just so bad.
kek, same. notchina was bad enough, but notjapan was a joke, I've played a good dozen Hgames that had better story and didn't had glaring plotholes. That and the enemy design, let's have bosses that hover half a meter in the air that melee characters can't hit, and that teleport randomly, without a startup animation, to the other end of the area, on a cooldown based action game.
I dropped genshin sometime in Inazuma. Picked it back up later and immediately had Kazuha's incredibly dry "oh so sad boo hoo" backstory explained to me 3 times back-to-back in 3 separate quests/summer event and quit again. Then I came back for Sumeru. Then I left right after they released the third fricking desert area in a row. I can't bring myself to give it another go.
>tfw Bronya used to be my favorite character in HI3
Oh no no no no no no
never said every girl needs to be explicitly for (you). my favorite girl in fgo is vaguely so and more like an older sister character. i don't need her to come out and say she loves (you).
i like girls having platonic relationships, back in the day, people were fine with this and we called it cute girls doing cute things in anime. modern yuritroons are no different at this point than western LGBT communities. they storm your community, call bayonetta gay because she has a female friend and then when people tell them no, they throw a tantrum and call you an homophobic incel. like frick off.
>modern yuritroons are no different at this point than western LGBT communities. they storm your community, call bayonetta gay because she has a female friend and then when people tell them no, they throw a tantrum and call you an homophobic incel. like frick off.
The only thing I ever seen is self-insert haremgays screaming and flinging shit everywhere the moment "yuri" is mentioned. Just look at this thread.
and yuritroons have said nothing to counter any of these statements. it's almost like it's all true and they to try to gaslight you into thinking everyone else is the problem.
>why don't they engage in my shit posting!
yeah frick off
>they storm your community, call bayonetta gay because she has a female friend and then when people tell them no, they throw a tantrum and call you an homophobic incel. like frick off.
I don't think these people were yurigays. They were just the LGBT+ crowd whp makes their whole personality being gay wanting to claim characters as icons because muh represention.
>who*
I was not the only one under the impression that AP looked very female coded, an all female gacha is not off limits for having a female audience.
Yeah japanese girls are generally sane
it's because of the survival/building simulator aspects of it
Yeah, there's a certain audience of women who play games like this for cute characters. The lifestyle aspects, pals and stuff like farming seems like things that appeal to women, so I expect this game to be lighter on the pandering and lewds.
Like this anon
said Nornium is probably the go to choice if you are looking for more overt pandering and lewdness.
I disagree. They made this all-female for a reason.
The trailer didn't seem particularly lewd
NTA but there are plenty of girls who play all-girl games.
>NTA but there are plenty of girls who wanted attention from insecure virgins
FTFY
I know. I'm not saying they are abandoning their waifugay audience. All I'm saying is that the pandering will likely be around the level of stuff like BA rather than the raunchier and morr agressive stuff you see in AL.
I've seen similar information regarding NIKKE and that game is very lewd, so who knows. BA level is still pretty good.
>I've seen similar information regarding NIKKE and that game is very lewd
Yeah, but this is a Chinese game with a female mc option.
I wanna touch Nono's nono square!
this is an odd discrepancy
What are we supposed to understand here, schizo anon?
NTA but 4 ears
Furrians don't have human ears accompanied by their animal ears except the fox lady, but pammies do have both pairs
>Elves
Picked up
I'm in favor of EVERY girl being for (You) male or female mc
its the only way waifugays and yuritards can cohexist
At the end of the day, we're all just appreciating cute girls.
Too many yurigays are into shipping and are the type who hate male mcs.
You can tell they've never encounterd or had to interact with /u/schizos before. Be careful what you're asking for. Coexistence with them is impossible unless you are also one of them.
Yeah they sure are so much worse than the schizos here that has made over 1000 posts about how "Yuritrannies ruin everything!"
They were arguing with yurigays and hoyogays for a lot of those posts, though?
Thus proving my point that coexistence is impossible. This whole thread is a small sample of what's to come. They fundamentally want different things out of the story/game.
>I scream and shit up the thread because the existence of yuri fans make me seethe!
>that means we can't co-exist
It's always hard to cohexist when you have multiple parties that want things that are at odds with each other.
They cannot coexist amongst themself since they are always fighting
says the yuritroony
They can never be satisfied with anything, they already have all Mihomosexual games and a bunch of others but they still feel the need to invade other games like BA, Snowbreak, nikke, azur lane and whatever other who is made for straight males
To be fair BA barely get any likes on twitter, tiny insignificant franchise.
BA gets a lot of fanart an it's also been growing more and more popular in the doujin scene.
and it has*
To be fair BA barely make any money, the tiny amount it made is invested in paid doujins
I wouldn't fool myself like that. If anything's bad about it, that would be their rabid slurpers.
You can just ignore them? Any male mc hate and obnoxious shipping you're forced to look at will be from disingenuous shitposters and people posting twitter screenshots
Not when they bait others into arguing with them and kill the discussion. There's also the spammers.
Yeah, those are the disingenuous shitposters in question. They may be yuri fans, they may not be. The problem isn't that they're posting yuri, the problem is that they're schizophrenic
Yes, but that kind of content attracts this sort of person. Even BA has this kind of yuri shitposting and it doesn't even have an actual femc option.
huh? Who could possibly be the yuri recipients for BA?
Shipper headcanons and le female sensei shitposting.
the only person I see posting Yuri in /bag/ is the scatschizo. Hell I even see push back against it on reddit
Shitposting is just inevitable, especially in a game that shares even an ounce of similarity to the G-word game.
And in my personal opinion, it's a small price to pay for a het or yuri harem enjoyers both getting what they want.
The problem is shiphomosexualry.
Which comes from shitposters as I said here
Your enemies aren't yuri fans but the schizophrenic hellbent on shitting up your threads.
You've been posting non-stop about yuritrannies for ever 2000 posts now and somehow it's others that's the shitposters?
Do you think there's only two people in this thread? That's not even the guy you were arguing with, schizo.
Considering he writes the exact same posts over and over again in the same style, yeah it's quite obvious to see who it is.
>girls that end up actually being not for (you)
Someone post THAT /alter/ screenshot
Disclaimer that I don't support shipshit, but imo it's fine if a girl initially doesn't show interest in you until way later. I feel like with a lot of characters in waifu-centric games they fall for you way too fast and the worst is probably the cases of you just being a decent person that gets them to be wet over you. It just does not feel genuine or rewarding.
>I feel like with a lot of characters in waifu-centric games they fall for you way too fast and the worst is probably the cases of you just being a decent person that gets them to be wet over you. It just does not feel genuine or rewarding.
I think this is more of a problem in wider cast games, since the wider the cast gets the less screentime characters get.
This.
You guys are thinking of the old romance systems in RPGs where it takes maybe like half the games story worth of development for the pay-off. Gacha lives off FOTM, so you need to push it as fast as you can before people move to the next one. Of course you will always have people who stick with their favorites though.
Not those anons but tackling that topic another thing that gachas don't do that this could is add more content to characters with max affection or something like that, character bloat and reduced screen time is the worst phenomenon in the genre
AL does this by giving characters EX (post-marraige) lines if you marry them. Maybe we will get something similar in AP if there is a affection system. iirc Genshin does this by unlocking backstory and lines between you and them.
Bro, AL is the worst offender of this
Yeah they get EX lines NOW, but all the first 3 year botes save a few exceptions still do not have EX lines plus its like 5 new characters every month, nobody remember more than 4 by the end of each year
>Bro, AL is the worst offender of this
Oh believe me, I know. I was just throwing it out there as something they could do.
Meanwhile I will still cope for my U-47 and DoY EX lines or oath skins
Genshin's formula irritates me because it just pairs of characters. Like how if Eula was going to show up Amber had to be there. Glad that is no longer the case.
They're getting better at it. Honestly I hated how much Ningguang was attached to Beidou. Or Eula to Amber. Nowadays they seem to not really show up together as much.
>They're getting better at it.
Might have to try it a bit again then. It always felt like one of the characters just became an accessory to the other and not their own character.
Yeah you see, what you hate isn't about them being on screen together, but all the teasing and subtleties revolving them.
Regardless of the writer's true intention, he's doing it again and again, luring homosexuals all over the globe.
>I hated how much Ningguang was attached to Beidou. Or Eula to Amber
and now eluer showed up with beidou lol
>spoiler
Pray that Promilia ends up being a massive hit so Manjuu dumps more money into AL
It mostly happens because writers don't know wtf they wanna do with the characters, or in Genshin's case they reserved the screen time to some irrelevant NPC nobody cares about.
I'm pretty sure Gacha and generative AI will converge at some point and the first dev to release a game where every girl has her own chatbot which changes with her affection level is going to make an unholy amount of money.
The game which successfully does that deserves to topple the rest of the waifu mobage industry.
BA is doing that with momotalk
>BA is doing that with momotalk
I just want to tell Yuuka I am wasting more money on figures and stuff to get her worked up.
Is it? Was that announced today?
That's a problem with the games themselves, they don't want to risk having too long or involved character arcs since the whole model relies on short term hype, you want people to roll for the new girl and immediately max out her affection and put a ring on her.
I wouldn't mind a gacha where making a girl your wife was a long and involved process with a lot of story and interactions before the payout. All with the condition you can do this with any of the girls, even if by necessity the rest of the cast wouldn't be all over you while you are focusing on the one you like. Unfortunately you're more likely to get that model out of a VN.
hmmm
We can go smaller
yeah i think she's for (Me)
this is it, promilia will be the game where i will finally become the eceleb of my dreams
nice knowing you gays, this is my time to shine
make sure to remember us when you make it bro
don't forget to make clickbait thumbnails of how it is killing genshing alongside wuwa and how mihoyo is killing itself with shippers and waifugays internal wars, bro!
Self-insert haremGODs dominate this thread homo. Write another bible seething about us.
We must put an end to the Yuritroon Menace.
Yuritroons and shipcucks are one in the same. It's why they hate harembros.
All Yuritroons are shipcucks, but not all shipcucks are Yuritroons, I would say. Yuritroons are worse because they think men are "dirty" and "soil" the cute girls.
>Yuritroons are worse because they think men are "dirty" and "soil" the cute girls.
This, bring Mr.Raymond back, us waifuchads have no issue with men unlike those yuritroons.
The problem is that yurigays are generally shipgays. They would rather pair off two random girls rather than focus on the player for pandering, so they are naturally at odds with your average waifugay/haremgay.
Frick off, women ruin everything. Yumes are bad since they play for males.
>90% of the posts in this thread is the same 2 guys seething about how "yuritroons" are obnoxious
The irony
You will never be a woman
It's pretty obvious they were here tho
Do yuritrannies actually think people like or even tolerate them or something? You're playing gacha, not Horizon Zero Dawn. Most of the big gachas outside of Mihomosexual hate shiphomosexuals in their fandom.
Why are you people talking about this again? lol
It's 2 dudes spamming the thread
3 dudes including you
got bored for a sec.
I want them to cull chastechuds as well.
theres a discord for the game now
All me, btw.
This is not getting published by yostar?
self-published, apparently.
Interesting, maybe Manjuu wants become a big player by itself. In that case I'll support it (along with Nornium) since it's the only chink company out there doing the right thing. Genshin, WuWa and Mugen can keep their omnipandering public.
yostar is not even a bad publisher + they have a frick ton of influence and resources
I agree but they're still stuck in the last decade and I doubt they can fix/update Aether Gazer to keep up.
pre regs for JP, KR, and EN are being handled by this "JIMI" company based on Singapore while the TW pre reg is being handled by a taiwanese company, CN is probably is only being pre regged through bilibili's store as of now
are they really trying to pull a hoyoverse here?
its actually a company just created last year
This is beyond what i expected manjuu to be able to do with AL money kinda worrying tbh
Yeah, this is looking way too big for Manjuu. If this flops things might get ugly for them.
All the more reason for them to respond to demands.
What are you on about? Honkai 3rd making less money than fricking Azur Lane spawned Genshin.
It wasn't that bad before, the game took a huge nosedive. But still I don't think Manjuu is in danger of any kind.
Very chilling news to be honest, this to me means that manjuu is probably going all or nothing into this and if it flops it might risk the company going under and its not hard to see why they would take the risk, AL is so old now and drying up slowly and manjuu has been entrenched onto this project since AL's 3rd anniversary so its about time it gives some returns, which worries me about the final state of the game as well. So either they went willingly into self publishing or yostar rejected the pìtch. Unless i am over-worrying over technical details we might not be aware yet.
This might be the perfect time though, after the coincidence and success that was palworld and how wuthering waves offers something completely different from Azur Promilia i think this probably will work in their favor.
Also Hoyo games are in a very weak spot right now, Genshin feels stale, HSR is having a yuri civil war and ZZZ went through a harsh censorship scandal
Bara furries don't help ZZZ at all, it might give you an audience boost but the threads will be completely unusable.
Kek, it's funny how everyone always forgets HI3 exists.
HI3 is just not fun to play in 2024, only whales and long time sunk cost players still touch it
I'n talking about the part 2 shitshow.
oh what happened with that again? wasn't a separate app or something?
>I'm*
Yuri civil war? Are things really that bad for HSR?
The game was forever tainted. The general will always be at odds with each other now. I didn’t even bother sticking around for long, I saw the clip and immediately uninstalled.
You mean you didn't leave the general when you noticed the ERPing and unironic trannies?
Pretty bold of them since most would go safe and pick proven publishers especially for a 3D game that takes a lot of money and several years of development time
Not having to share revenue with a publisher might be more important when making these expensive 3D games though.
The thing about Nornium is that shit is going to be chink-only for years
The dev confirmed he is working on EN and JP localization, the team is basically a ragtag group of CN otaku so things take time.
I will make him rich
I just checked Genshin score on that billibili website and genshin is 5.8 hoyo truly doesn't give a frick about review bombing
yeah that's what other developers often see as an opportunity, that proportion of unhappy players could be money for your project if you market search hard enough
Mihoyo is a rather special case tho
Just the announcement has attracted all sorts of disgusting vermin, I can't wait for the schizo general once it get released.
I am just here for the drama, my hands will be full with wuwa
we get it, you like men
yeah hopefully all the bad apples will be contained there while
Can't be worse than this thread. Just a few guys spamming and stirring up drama.
I don't get what "kind of people" you are trying to refer to
People were discussing things until the Mihoyogays showed up to ask questions answered several times in the thread and seethe about self-inserts, harem gays and shill their favorite e-celebs.
The entire thread is 2 guys seething and complaining about how not everyone wants to consume harem self-insert slop.
No, it isn't. We had plenty of discussion until halfway into the thread, even after the clarification by Manjuu. After that it was full of shitflinging between mihomogays and waifugays/haremgays.
Not really but keep seething
Classic Mihomogay behavior, hopefully all of them will get filtered before the game release. No males in gacha is already a pretty good sign that filtered a lot of them already
I remember how the WuWa threads were full of e-celeb shit. I hope the beta threads for this game will be better.
It was just a single Black person spamming e-trash
E-celeb always jump ship really fast to the newest shit to boost their views and goes back to the most popular shit when is a dry season, so i don't worry too much about those annoying homosexuals
Yeah, I guess there are way too many upcoming Genshin clones.
I'm inviting all my HSR sisters to come here.
Its funny how everyone here only talks and makes comparisons between Genshin and WuWa yet Arknights Endfield is another Genshin clone, was it that bad or something?
Nobody cares about sci-fi games
>nobody talks about puritygays
go figure.
nornium looks sci-fi though.
>puritygays?
wha?
Enfield looks like WuWa but worse
Wuwa's combat at least is polished, Endfield combat is similarly slow to genshin's, to tell you that Promilia looks lightning faster than Endfield's would be an understatement.
Arknights feels really pretentiouswith their narrative, heard that you aren't doctor anymore and that the setting was hundred years later after the OG timeline but with cloned operator, or how they mocked the male player or at least one who chose the male pc, is that true?
This game would benefit greatly from mmo-esque elements like hunting rare mons.
There does seem to be a pal catching element to it so that's not outside the realm of possibility.
I hope it doesn't crush itself under its own weight, there seems to be a lot of hype for people that like the formula and the trailer showcased just one zone and then some over head zones but with no npcs on it
Cautiously optimistic.
I dismissed the game 3 days ago when it announced but you know what? I'm so tired of mihoyo drones, i'll give it a shot for sticking to waifus only.
>loud minorities are so much worse than the intended majority of the audience
yes i agree.
yurigays have HSR already, just play that.
Too many men. Most of the "yurigays" there just want to own le "pags", as hoyogays say.
Obviously its a yurigay falseflagging, you would do this too when called out.
Look at the last several replies here and tell me it's "yuritannies" shitting up the threads and not insecure haremgays
They simply replied to your seething post, Black person.
>/u/troon inciting conflict
>received (You)s
>"waah waah see? they are evil!'
Nips absolutely yuri undertones with a fem mc and a lighthearted story plus it looks very chill and casual, women streamers will love it and you can just pick the male mc who will get the same feely interactions and pretend they are for (You) as well as yurigays will
Azur Promilia will be a massive hit
Every women eceleb i saw reviewing it actually went the extra mile to look at the web page's illustrations because they liked the potatos and the pokemons so much.
Not even gonna bother replying anymore. I'll let the creature keep seething because othera don't like yurigays.
Based or cringe?
Based, owning up to your mistakes is always good.
Based. I too apologize on behalf of everyone here who's being paranoid of the cuckposting but femc should still be repurposed.
Yeah, I agree with you. Oh well, let's just wait and see for now.
>Do you think there's only two people in this thread?
all me btw.
Like I said before, I have made all 2107 posts in this thread.
Let's just ignore the yurigay's seetheposts. He's gone mental.
>He still doesn't get it
Okay, there's no point in arguing further. Let's just agree to disagree since I'm tired of discussing about this issue.
ok shitler
I'm not your boogeyman
>almost 5 million views
>176k likes
nice
not bad numbers considering azur lane and manjuu aren't really big names either
Yup, this is my harem.
OwO that's a cute boy
I'm really excited for this game, more news when?
copefully soon
every single eceleb that wasn't immediately filtered by no-males liked it, so i think its on a good track
Waiting for the beta.
beta in like 15 months
We're going to see a lot of Genshin clones flopping within the next few years. Kind of looking forward to shitposting about them lol.
This game license is registered on 25/01/2024, meaning it must release before 25/01/2025. Expect beta and release in later half this year.
The tieba genshin board just changed their picture

JK sex
they will all wear spats underneath
deal with it chud
They showed that character have actual panties in the gameplay footage.
If they actually censor and make everyone wear spats and granny panties I won't play and I bet nearly everyone that was excited would also not play.
literally all of them had spats and shorts
I mean it's not a string but it's definitely not spats/shorts.
???
I honestly think there's a big audience for people that kind of like Genshin but is tired of the neutered state of the game and all the censorship.
Like come on did you even watch the video or are you just here to shitpost
>are you just here to shitpost
How could anon ever?
Yeah, I can't see the people who complained about males and ALgays staying silent if they do that
Can someone how GF2 didn't recover from the raymond controversy? they reversed it as far as i'm aware, but manjuu recovered as fast as they fell when they released the public statement
schizophrenia knows no bound
probably some corporate sabotage too
iirc the initial fix was to just change Raymond to a girl, with no other changes. Which just made chinks even more upset because it just gave off the impression mica didn't get why they had a issue with it.
they actually scrapped and reworked entire events, made apology videos and removed daiyan's israeliteelry and diary.
i think they also give more roll currency
The whole thing feels inorganic at this point.
it's really forced.
i"m pretty the guy who started this is the same guy who started the drama for AP
none of this genuine
Difference is there was actually datamines for this stuff for GF2. According to Manjuu everything for AP has only been internal, so the leaker having that information to begin with should have called it into question.
point is, it's still come from a single dude who stirr shits up. it is rather "suspicious" for the lack of a better word.
>it's still come from a single dude who stirr shits up
Fair, I still think its more believable when he has stuff actually from the game and it is playable verses old ass concept art that who knows how he got.
And? Failing to stop a potential bad actor which would have been pretty easy is their fault entirely.
I'm not even sure what you're trying to say. I have never said that Mica didn't fumble that shit.
And Manjuu threatened to sue him for that. MICA could have too, but chose nit to. Once again, the fault lies with MICA for letting it get this bad.
Manjuu responded in like 8 hours of the leak dropping, that's the difference.
They took too long to deal with the problem and allowed it to get bigger. Had they dealt with it quickly and didn't show disdain towards their players it wouldn'f have gotten that big.
The game had a completely different team working on the writing too, some who were unfamiliae with the prequel.
How could they have dealt with the problem quickly, if, as you say, the writers didn't even read the story of the first game (in fact there's a lot of stuff that contradicts the events of the first game)?
Game was fricked from the start, it's clear the devs just wanted to make a x-com ripoff and piggy backed of the characters from the first game to get that otaku money. If they have cared, they would have handled the story and characters with utmost care first and foremost, not as an afterthought. And then you have that other mega flop neural cloud. Anyone playing mica games at this point is a moron.
>Type 95 story gets data mined
>chinks freak out
>MICA apologizes, but the apology just told them to be "rational"
>some other things happen
>CCs start making fun of MICA, threaten to get the CCP involved (I think there was something about prostitution that was data mined)
>MICA starts deleting comments, which just makes it worse
>MICA's CEO eventually makes a video apologizing for everything (this includes all the technical shit wrong with the game, like it wiping the C: drive if you delete it)
>Chinks are still angry because instead of blaming the writers the CEO takes the blame instead
>This is where
happens
>Later Mica releases a showcase of 95...wearing a Lightning Pendant, guess where that came from
Kinda like
said, it really just looks like them shooting themselves in the foot.
There was also shit like the books controversy. Where adter they chabged Raymond into a woman they added books like The Handmaid's Tale (where women are being controlled against the will by a commander and forced to have sex with him) to the hang-out room. After the complaints they changed the book to one where a commander commits suicide. Players naturally thought MICA was targeting them, since it happened after they chanfed Raymond into a woman.
Chinks also found bots defending GFL2 as well.
After*
Changed*
So what the frick is MICA's problem? Is this just sabotage or what?
Spite. MICA has burned bridges with a ton of people in the industry.
There was also the problem of politics and the Talmud bs during a time where relations between China and Israel are tense.
That sounds like schizo bullshit
Yeah, but chinks were resentful towards MICA already and they are generally pro-Hamas/anti-Israel.
The girl from the Raymond incident also gave the protagonist a toothbrush during Valentines. Which made the chinks even madder.
i think the raymond being playable thing was related to them forming a band with 95 and some other people, don't remember if the other band members were going to be girls or not.
>Is this just sabotage?
In short, yeah. Look at what's happening in korea with the feminist cult.
>like it wiping the C: drive if you delete it)
Excuse me??
Uninstalling the game deleted the contents of the entire drive it was installed on, allegedly.
It wouldn’t create a folder for itself, so when you install all the files were just in the C: drive, and the uninstall just wiped the folder it was in and not its own specific files, so it everything in C: would get deleted,
>>MICA's CEO eventually makes a video apologizing for everything (this includes all the technical shit wrong with the game, like it wiping the C: drive if you delete it)
You have no idea just how paranoid this is going to make me in the future whenever I'm about to uninstall anything. We're living in dumb times after all.
The writers decided it would be an amazing idea make raymond references in the game, MICA had to fire the writing team.
The entire plot of the game is how you disappeared for 10 years and that the girls have their own lives now. Even without Raymond it's hard to escape from the NTR implications. Also GF2 just sucks as a game overall, it has a system worse than Genshit's artifacts.
what about the dorm system and the feet that everyone seems to drool on?
Zero interaction. The girls just do things while (you) watch them like a creep.
Damn I love reading Talmud with my wife
unfortunate.
Someone at Mica must have a cuck fetish
Ok but who is it for you so far?
If girls have panties and I can see lots of pantsu upskirt? I play
Speaking of, what other 3D gachas out there have upskirt and real panties?
ToF i guess.
snowbreak's the only one i can think of
Snowbreak
I wanna play it!
Scouring some nip videos...nips are also looking positively at AP while pointing out that:
>AP being bishoujo focused will set it apart from other open world games
>Japan can't catch up with all the foreign studios entering their market with high budget games
Japan doesn't need to catch up because Uma Musume is still dominating there after 3 fricking years and is literally copycat-proof since it has Japan's unique love for its race horse culture backing it. The best you can do is be its predecessor Idolmaster which is still a niche.
Its copycat proof because Nips can patent gameplay models, there was a controversy a year ago of Konami suing Cygames because uma musume used some patented mechanic or something, it settled, don't know how but it did apparently.
>sperging over ownerships
Nips can't escape the westwank allegations huh
yeah I mean look at this masterpiece lol
They are also still not aware that they its not being published by Yostar.
And i think not being published by Yostar is a big deal, if you aren't with them you are competing against them. I wonder if Yostar knew of AP in advance.
>make malePC only
>in a cast of all female playable units
Dragon Questshin Impalworld. It prints money forever
I don't think it will surpass Genshin, Genshin had everything to be sucessful at the time it was released. The industry just isn't the same as it was back then.
it went back up to 9.0 you almost never see these kind of rebounds, ZZZ has stalled at 8.9
it wont but it will be the only game of its kind for some time, if anything this market is looking to be very diverse
Yeah, it fills a niche that other Genshin Clones can't, since they fell for the meme and went after the same audience as Genshin.
>Dragon Questshin Impalworld
DO IT Black folk AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Balls in their court. They can. They should. Will they? Well.
Squeenix refused to do anything innovative in that franchise's since it's run by boomers. Maybe if the last founding member finally bites the dust they will start pulling the same shit they did with Final Fantasy
Nerf the women's breasts and scam people with a fake remake?
>make malePC only
What? I'm out of the loop. I heard they had to confirm there'd be no playable males in Promilia, but I thought they'd still have a male/female selection for the protagonist. If they don't what I saw must've been two different versions of the same NPC.
>Manjuu have clearly got a close watch on the pulse of their players.
They don't have a choice at the moment. They're about to release a new game. They can't afford to go into it with month of player disillusionment leading up to it.
You saw it right its that they havent removed her yet
So it's just a shitpost and there will be selectable protag? Kinda lame. If I wanted another anime game without full pandering i'd play... i'd throw a rock and pick one of the dozen competitors that started production around the same time after seeing Genshin's success and are all releasing in a concentrated window.
Yellow Chicken > Manjuu
I love scantily clad little girls so much it's unreal
Too bad there's going to be none in AP...
Only potatoes dressed from head to toe.
Also for the GF2 drama Type 95 wasn't the only one.
>MP41 pretends to be a persona girlfriend/wife that supposedly died over letters
>She delivered packages to them previously so she felt bad for the guy
>turns out the girl wasn't actually dead
>MP41 tries to ghost him by giving him a fake address
>turns out it was some unsafe area
>she had to go save him anyways
For this one I saw some people claim she had real affection for the guy, but I haven't seen proof of that.
OTS-14's evening dress only gets worn when she runs away to drink at the bar without (you)
Type 95 gives you a toothbrush as a gift, I think this one was overblown, but some chinks took it as a slight for bad mouthing the game.
Leaks came out that Raymond was suppose to be playable (lol?)
CZ75 supposedly opened up a flower shop with a dude with (your) blessing
This doesn't include all the other technical or monetization related complaints they had about the game too.
Wasn't there one girl who was revealed to have served several masters after the Commander left?
Yeah G36
>had 10 masters
>wants to be human, and have a kid
However, every source I've seen said this leak wasn't really reliable so I left it out.
FIFA is one of the most profitable franchises ever. Why hasn't anyone make a football gacha with anime girls?
FIFABlack folk actually like rolling for men
MICA was too arrogant.
Some of the funniest stuff about GF2 dramas is that there are so many small frick ups you wouldn't think would happen
>Release Type 95 skin, she is holding a G36
>release UMP9, she is marked as AR not SMG
and other small mistakes like this that someone always sneak past QC. Almost like they know nothing about GFL or guns in general. So why the frick are they working on this game?
Because it wasn't made by the original GFL team. The new team didn't even have proper knowledge of the game's lore.
>Endfield
looks really boring right now, this is something only hardcore arknights fans will play if it stays like this.
Wuwa will take all the gameplaygays out of genshin, i think it might kill arknights more than it will hurt genshin
HSR has honestly a better hook and is less tedious than Genshin, it will keep cannibalizing it
Project Mugen unironically looks like a legit Genshin killer in the west, the fluid movement and combat is really nice + the urban setting is quite unique for an open world gacha. Assuming Net Ease doesn't frick up.
Promilia this will be the new Azur Lane, it will be THE new casual game, yet to be seen how they will polish and add stuff into the game to make it interesting i think the competition for Promilia after it releases will be very fierce.
>competition for Promilia
there was an upcoming mobile game called roco kingdom, it's pretty much chang's pokemon but i haven't got any news from them.
I don't think a urban setting game will compete with a fantasy game
i said only in the west, Project Mugen is much more "cool" and culturally relatable for westerners than a fantasy game as slow as genshin.
i'm still not sure how people enjoy arkslop
Western moralists who get offended by even a slight hint of cleavage but still want anime girls are keeping it on life support.
>Western
why lie?
Post apoc shit needs to die its so overdone.
Yeah, one thing I've noticed about Arknights is that it attracts the ironic weeb crowd.
True
not sure about ironic weebs but it definitely attracts the kind of people who claims to read books but actually doesn't
aka fedora tippers
I play Arknights but feel like it's a bit stagnated and too formulaic now. All events are the same, even the story setup are mostly the same, the writing padding is way too much.
The main story also moves way too slowly. But I keep playing because of my dragon wife
Since you play Arknights, what's your opinion on Endfield?
It feels like wasted potential, what makes Arknights so fun is the cool lore and world. So being able to explore that in a 3D space and actually see all the locations and travel them would have been so awesome.
Instead it takes place in the future, on another planet but still have lots of "Remember these Arknight character's!?" throwbacks, one of the characters is even pretty much a clone of an Arknights characters.
So I just can't stop thinking how much better it would be if it was just "Arknights 3D" instead.
The gameplay itself looks quite generic, the world looks somewhat boring and the Factorio system will probably just have some solved BiS solution.
>wasted potential
Can't word it any better. It was pretty good but clearly they got wienery ever since under tides.
I want my brown wife
Take your bets, which of the girls we've seen so far will be the most popular?
Poseidon expy
Shinano expy and every girls that kincora has drawn
Not shinano or one of the two Noire look alikes or the nip girl.
No Essex no play, simple as
It will have elf sex though
Eh?
For me, its Fern segs
I hope this game gets a lot of character interactions between each other to flesh out the characters, yeah inviting yuritrannies but its always better in the long run than having cardboard cutout characters dumped patch after patch. I'll take the loss.
hope for something like fish/mona event in genshit
im so sick and tired of NPC slop
You're in luck anon, games like that are a dime a dozen.
Fem MC is bigger than Lumine
Let that sink in
If the game doesn't gate me hard with "stamina" and has the same generous system as AL I might actually try it.
It's an open world game so you still have things to do when out of stamina. The real gate is content output.
I'm pretty sure I saw the 180 stamina counter in their promotional material, so expect the genshit treatment in that sense. But hopefuly the farming, pets and other content isn't tied to stamina and you only spend it on the shitty gear lottery it will doubtlessly have.
>has the same generous system as AL
Yeah that's not happening in an open world gacha.
So, Manjuu just completely removed and will be redoing a bote based on negative feedback from the community for AL. It was almost an immediate response. Won't be a little edit here and there. It's being completely redone. Harem/Waifu bros things are looking good for you. Haven't seen such a dramatic response to feedback like that in a while. Manjuu have clearly got a close watch on the pulse of their players.
No wonder, it looks like shit, assuming from the machinery she's supposed to be one of these big historical ships?
It only takes Manjuu about two days to respond, which is very quick. Also, the ways Manjuu responds are satisfying.
Fun April Fools Joke, humans have to ruin it.
what are they complaining about, the mustache? the crocs?
She doesn't look like her sisters
https://azurpromilia.manjuu.com/home/
The main land china page has a live pre registration counter
>already at 1.2 million pre reg
this is way better than hsr penacony pre regs
everyones hopefully they're listening to feedback
what they do with the fem mc makes or breaks the game for a lot of people
If someone instigates chinks enough and make it a review bomb i'm sure Manjuu will go the extra mile to add gender exclusive voice lines.
>extra mile
I think this is not only feasible but will also give higher returns, both audiences are massive.
radfems don't play female only games with borderline coomer desings like promilia
yurigays are mostly males too and the romance between the girls and the male mc will also unambiguous, also yurigays won't stop shitposting just because the game is hetero, any interaction between two girls will be extrapolated into yuri shitposting
And in any case the female casuals that will play Promilia for the bishoujo will keep itself to other female player communities
>what they do with the fem mc makes or breaks the game for a lot of people
She exists. That already pigeonholes the game into the heavily implied, but not outright stated "I kinda like you" stuff. Fem MC will have the monopoly on all art, shipping, funny, shitposts, etc.
>She exists
As a unit and not the player character if they're listening
It'll be functionally the same if she's canonically with you at all times throughout all interactions in the story. It'd be weird to have one of a two-pair MC not present at all.
In any case, i'd take it over the shitty things some games do where your PC is a nonexistent disembodied thing that characters only ever acknowledge in voicelines.
You're not following. They're not a two-pair. It's either/or. The suggestion of many a harem/waifu KING is that the malePC be the only PC and the femPC be repurposed as a unit or something at best or outright scrapped at worst. Maybe you're in that later camp?
>The suggestion of many a harem/waifu KING is that the malePC be the only PC and the femPC be repurposed as a unit or something at best or outright scrapped at worst.
This would be preferable. Either or it doesn't matter.
It won't happen though and we'll get the watered down platonic stuff for character lines. I've seen the morons that think they'd make two different versions of every single piece of content they create and we know that isn't feasible.
>It won't happen
I think it will given the almost unanimous outcry from both the eastern and western fanbase. We'll see won't we.
I'll just hope that's the way it goes even though I don't believe it. I would pick it up no questions asked. Only reason I would really. I'll watch some stuff from the first beta when it drops.
this is something that you will only see get adapted and refined through time as Manjuu understands which audience it has captured more
if there's more waifugays they will start pandering harder with (You) content, if there's more yurigays, casual women etc than expected they will amp up the light hearted story, but as i said earlier, if enough people complain its not out of the realm that they could pander to both separately through both mcs, if both audiences are big enough the costs will pay off
Them pandering harder to (You) will require them to spend the resources to make separate stuff for both MCs. And both MCs will exist because they can't just remove one. It's going to be a hard pill to swallow when they're already entering a market cornered by Genshin (mainly) and other more coomer-oriented gacha. Nikke has a pretty good grip on the underserved sex gacha with Snowbreak Containment Zone taking off the mask recently as well for another and Promilla doesn't look like it wants to play ball.
>Can a big budget open world game survive with an even more niche audience?
Sure. The focus is going to be on the gacha characters. The dude is another generic twink and the girl looks like the tutorial NPC you'd meet with first in the first new town in an RPG. As long as there's no catastrophic PR blunder right before release the first month will go a long way to recouping costs and hook people.
You don't actually need to spend a frick ton of money to pander to both, just maybe 2 voices cutscenes an 8 affection lines, the most expensive thing there will be the voice actress.
>just maybe 2 voices cutscenes an 8 affection lines
I don't want that though, I want FULL (You) pandering
explain what you want so i can grasp how delusional you are or not
I got a better idea, frick off to Genshit
So you are shitposting then. glad to know
Genshit/HSR is exactly what your kind wants tho, not sure why you'd be seething here all day
Stop being baited by shitposters, anon.
I don't think the game is going to flop or anything, but I think most gacha don't do dual-recordings because it's not seen as worth the cost. It's not just 2 voices and 8 affection lines. It's 10 lines for every language supported, syncing up a schedule with every VA they want to use, implementing those lines and their subtitles, and doing all of that every time for every new character and maybe some events if they want to hit it hard. I'm assuming it's another largely voiceless protagonist too or they'd have to actual responses.
Every gacha game that isn't grazing the EOS line could probably do it, but they don't.
Doing multiple dubs is a mistake in this case I think, chinks and asiatics love japanese dub.
This is definitely going to affect the number of lines every character has, outside of voiced story cutscenes (and maybe events).
Affection lines and events/dates are looking more and more like an impossibility. Say goodbye to groping lines, and memories/secrets
fem mc seems to have normal lines for menus and combat though as far as i saw in the demo
sexo with Sirius
Yeah if they remove her they'll lose most of potential players
>most of potential players
That don't pay. I'd call it a win
>13.8 billion years
I thought it was established last year that the universe is acktually 26.7 billion years old
Manjuu always responds fast to chinks
Two years ago they put up a permanent free pack of resources in the cash shop that refreshes weekly because they changed a mechanic and chonks didn't like.
I don't see any issues with the female mc. A lot and i mean a lot of men play with the female mc just to see girls all the time, cool girls doing cool things is way more appealing in general than all the girls sucking the male mc's dick 24/7, that's not to say it can't have cheesy lines for the characters.
It attracts male yurigays. And then female yuri self-inserters. And then radfem.
I want no femc too but I don't think that many people are complaining about femc.
this got a +12 licence with all the boob jiggle and side boobs, ass fangs and panties? are chinks relaxing their laws now?
They must be trying to fix the gaming stock market crash they caused
I think Manjuu is rushing to get the game out precisely to capitalize on this moment. Mihoyo's paid and unpaid shills are going to spam thousands of complaints to the CCP as soon as the game goes live, but I think the CCP is more likely to tell them to go frick themselves at this point because they don't want to mess with the gaming industry more than they already did.
AL is a 12+ game
bro
I don't know about China but playstore listed it as teens
Do we know if this game is made with Unity or Unreal? Might learn how to mod
i think its unity, AL is made on unity as well
Thats surprising
I thought people would stop using Unity after that license fee change
afaik genshin is also an unity game, you just can pull out like that, they haven't ported genshin to their own engine yet afaik
I really don't know, maybe its just unreal and they thinkered with the shading well enough to confuse me.
Unity-China is immune from that bullshit.
damn mhy is actually based?
They are somewhat based in matters that have nothing to do with developing new game. Even now they are in the process of developing SAO-like VR and fricking nuclear fusion technology.
So the main point of contention over the female MC's existence is that she would potentially be holding back the romantic fanservice?
I can understand the perspective, but the game is already niche as is. Can a big budget open world game survive with an even more niche audience?
It's not a niche audience at all, it's absolutely the main paying audience. The only reason to appeal to normies and women is free marketing, they don't spend on the game but they will talk about the game all day on twitter facebook reddit and wherever else they hang out.
But that market is already saturated and judging by what is happening in China the players that want fanservice and romance had enough and aren't going to fall for another bait and switch like Genshin.
My only gripe is the twink MC, let me customize him as big hunky bara playing with cute girls
>but the game is already niche as is
Honestly i don't want her to be scrapped. At least make her a starter unit akin to Javelin, Laffey and Niimi.
she shows up as the MC in the PV
I dont think they will remove her
maybe they will make different dialogs depends on the gender of MC like genshit
I'm more worried it won't be able to get much of a playerbase due to genshit having already established itself for so long. If the money isn't rolling in then it won't live long due to that big budget required.
Fem MC is cute as frick THOUGH
Make her a twincest, it's that really easy to emotionally bait the players (like me) to keep playing on the game.
So far me scouring the internet for reactions it has remained true that all the women with that watched the promotional videos creamed themselves at the cute girls, the pals and the farming. Idk this game might be huge for women actually.
Incest would be so based beyond measure but i really really doubt it.
There's farming? You think it has the potential of being rune factory copy?
it has pretty much rune factory grid based farming with different crops assisted by your pals
Where did you know this, is it in the trailer or one of the gameplay videos?
its literally in the last part of the gameplay demonstration
Oh wow, I don't care about the combat but my hopium is through the roof. Please don't ruin this one.
Rune Factory copy down to female MC ruining the game and making everyone gay.
Women love incest fetish right? And the CEO is a woman
>but I really really doubt it.
Manjuu did this shit all the time in AL, more recently the TBmaker where you groom your ow daughter. Pretty based move honestly.
Imagine there having some male NPCs that the fem mc can flirt with, Jesus that would be a fujo money printer without putting a single male in the gacha.
>fujo
yume*
sorry
You absolute fricking moron, you think BA and nikke are niche? People fricking love fanservice and pandering. AL is not more popular solely because people have become used to 3D graphics in gacha because of genshin.
Yeah I have no idea where these prude Black folk came from
>you think BA and nikke are niche?
yes,not even close to the top 5
>Low budget glorified png collectors
Just because they're good return-on-investments doesn't make them less niche. The upkeep on 3D open world games is going to require a bigger audience. You'll still have your harem, no one's taking that away from you.
>The upkeep on 3D open world games is going to require a bigger audience.
If Azur Promilia would need more income than Nikke, the game that occasionally bumps uglies with 3D gacha games, to sustain itself I would be very concerned.
Those are Mihomosexual homosexuals baiting again, literally doing this shit for days in this thread out of seeth for the possibility of a "genshin" that actually panders to straight males and not massive gays and trannies
you have 60 seconds to stop shitposting and catch this
I wouldn't put a much stock in this game. Manjuu can be pretty moronic without Yostar tardwrangling it.
Nah it will pander really fricking hard on waifus otherwise it won't be able to compete, and its only going to have JP and CN VA's so high chance they do a lot of gender based voice lines without much budget constraints
I really want to believe that, but we have never, ever seen that happen with this kind of game.
AL is nothing special and didn't invent any new kind of mechanic. For as much goodwill I have for the devs after 7 years, I still will need solid evidence to believe that.
>waifu pandering with a female MC
That sounds like a good way for any of their competitors or Ark Knights fans having a little giggle to mass report them immediately to the Ministry of Culture. They don't have Yostar's hush money to back them on this one.
It's a 12+ game with protagonist gender selection. At most we'll get things like
>You are the most important person in the world to me, (Player).
>Best friends
>Teasing romance w/ flowery language
As long as its that and trying to minimize shipshit, I'll be a happy camper.
Yes, but having ambiguous/platonic relationships like this in a game with gender selection and male npcs facilitates the infiltration of harmful elements in the community. This sort od thing has happened way too many times before in chinese games, which is why the subs of this game are full of people worried about this sort of thing happening.
>Feminists/yurishippers infiltrate the community
>As their number grows their voices become louder
>Feminists also have an habit of doing this like reporting content that appeals to male otakus
>The devs gradually change the direction of the game to carer to their tastes more
>Then they begin to ostracize the harem players and attack anyone who complains about the the state of the game
(me)
>Feminists/shippers (including yurigays)*
That's cool and all, but how does that affect my in-game experience? It's not like I'm being forced to look at twitter conversations
Did you not read my post? It says exactly how it would affect your in-game experience.
Did you read my post? It doesn't count.
Except it does, when the content of the game begins to cater to those people more and more.
You don't get it. It literally, LITERALLY, doesn't count.
I won't lie, I stopped reading when I got to the greentext. That's my bad, sorry.
I'm skeptical that they would change the game so much to alienate any particular part of its fanbase. Have any harem, self-insert games lost their harems and self-inserts before?
If a vocal minority can change a game that much, then the devs are incredibly pathetic and weak and don't deserve support.
GF1 -> GF2
Just go take a look at the subs for this game on tieba. Tons of posts complaining about xxn (feminists) and blowfish (yurigays), including the majn sub where mods have been deleting a lot of these culture war threads.
Some people are suggesting to gender lock the protagonist to male, but other guys say they don't want to watch a man shaking their butt on screen or that the protagonist is way too boyish, despite agreeing with the first group about the danger of infiltrators.
Those people suceeded in doing this due to naivety and complacency of harem players. There are also cases of such infiltrators being part of the game devs as well.
It's better to have a faceless male MC imo
Yeah, some people also suggested this over there.
There are also some who suggest making the FMC a playable childhood friend/sister character who accompanies you and gicinf the players the ability to switch characters for roaming on the map.
giving*
How do you have a faceless male MC in an open world game?
Give them a face mask or some other accessory that blocks their face.
duh
Make you into a formless voice from the sky or a slime.
>or a slime.
Oh god no. Not THAT incident.
All they have to do is lock the Male MC as the canon MC and give him a character creator for his face/body while making the girl his first love interest/sister/childhood friend or whatever
Indeed
I think they said the game will alloe you to edit the MC's appearance to some degree already.
That doesn't answer my question if such a game has changed drastically enough from a vocal minority to alienate part of its fanbase.
Same series but different game, no? Did GF1 lose its harem and self-inserting? Did GF2 get made because of feminists or whatever?
>Same series but different game, no?
GF2 is a direct sequel to GF1, you can no longer marry the dolls and half the shit some of the dolls do directly contradict their marriage lines in GF1.
Weren't the oaths non-canon? Still they clearly were targeting a broader audience with GF2.
Ah yes, the cuckold audience. Truly the most enviable and broadest audience for gacha
>Weren't the oaths non-canon?
They were, but it doesn't change the fact that it still irritates people.
This too
, it was more so that the writing of GF2 contradicted a lot of GF1.
(me)
Like the book where it has Commander acting like a dictator and what not when that was never indicated at all in GF1. This isn't Path to Nowhere where you are forcing criminals to work for you against their will.
And they failed
Or the part where they're glad to be rid of G&K and mention of the oppressive lifestyle without having a friend and no mention of the SKK at all.
Those people even get janny/mod positions in community boards to shape the discussion to their liking.
Rune Factory series
Mary Skelter (went from straight male MC to yuri pandering)
Bokujo Monogatari (originally only for males, then had separate male and female MC games, then eventually went full homo)
Blue Reflection series, but as a rare inverse example where it went from literal lesbians to harem pandering
Idolmaster kinda, depending on the game
Arknights with Arknights: Endfield went from ambiguous self insert to more defined male and female MCs (but female MC is pretty much the main one)
Girl Frontline
These are just off the top of my head.
Okay, I think there's been a misunderstanding.
I was asking if such changes happened during an on-going game because of a vocal minority. Not from sequels or different games from the same series.
But I do understand there's an argument to be made about a series as a whole shifting or expanding its audience over time not being in line when their original game.
The point I was trying to make is that I find it unlikely that Azur Promilia itself will move away from having the option to self-insert and have your harem. It's not going anywhere
Even GF has actual playable unita who get shipped with male npcs. People didn't complain much bdcause back then rhe cultural climate wasn't this tense and no one cared about the chqracter in question.
This time with GF2 players were already jaded from mixed gender games or characters being shipped with randos and the character at the center of the drama was a fan favorite among the chinese.
Units*
Alright, I think I'm starting to see the big picture here.
The real issue isn't the option of male or female MCs, but the potential for shipping of the playable characters with anyone but the MC?
So self-inserters want this reflected in the writing of the game so that none of the girls have any ounce of fondness for anyone that isn't the MC, whether they be a girl or a guy, so as to not be interpretable for shipping.
Am I getting that right?
>In her diary, MP41 claims that she had few friends back in Griffin and she had no friends until she found a penfriend as she disguised as the guy's girlfriend who was thought to be dead. And it was implied that there were actual romantic feelings happening towards the end. And no mentions of the Commander.
>In SPAS-12's note, it is said that some girls are happy or even excited to leave Griffin, with one claiming "Freedom at last!" in a world with terrible fantastic-racism against the dolls. And no mentions of the Commander.
>The Commander themself said in one stage that "In a short time all my comrades left one by one, either actively or passively, until I became the only one left."
>notes/diaries of various dolls indicates they don't care much about the Commander, with no or passing mentions. Few exceptions.
ntr game
The issue is you cannot have a female MC option and pander to males at the same time, at least not now in 2024, or you will attract feminists and trannies who will try to change the game and insult males who disagree with them. Even Blue Archive, which until now didn't have an "explicitly" male sensei in the game, is having its own drama issues with people who disagree with sensei being male in the anime.
I don't think the anime sensei is suppose to be the games sensei. The game sensei is (you)
>no bro it's a DIFFERENT sensei
How many times have I heard this one? Everyone knows the moment you show a PC in a anime adaptation that iteration of them begins to dominate all fan content until it's all but "canon."
I seriously doubt that anime sensei will somehow push out doodle sensei.
bro you are so wrong, no real MEN wants to see the ass of other man in a 3d game like we have here. We'll be playing female characters only, even the mc
Nope, "feminists" and trannies will just ignore the game like they did with nikke and BA and call it coomer incel etc and keep polluting the game they like, hoyoverse
a lot of men just want to see girls myself included, so i have no issue with the female MC
>As a fellow "male" I see no issue with a female MC
>Despite 2000 posts of people's arguments showing exactly what the issues are
Your pathetic attempt at infiltration will not work here.
Ahh i see, are the yurigays in the room with us right now?
sorry but i dont want a man for playable character
Genshit is right next door
do you like man ass?
Go do your genshit dailies bro.
I will love to see when Manjuu btfo all those homosexuals when they announce that the male mc is the only canon option while the femMc its playable as the "main girl" only, they already did half of the job by btfo all the homos lovers in gacha
SHOW ME THE BETA AND CONFIRM THEY'RE DOING FEMALE MC SO I CAN BE FREE
>beta
I don't think this game will be out anytime soon, maybe in 2025 or even 2026
The game has to release before the end of January next year iirc. Or they lose their license.
Can't they just renew their license?
they can, i think the lincense is pure cope, we are in for a wait for this one specially when so little of the map has been shown and seems to be, the gameplay demo has clearly not so far structures as pngs
That's what I thought. it could also happen the same shit that happened with WuWa when they decide to change the whole story or aspects of the game because of players feedback, causing more delays.
>The problem is mc wars and shipping.
That's also trannies favorite hobby
He is a broken record that got mindbroken by Self Insert CHADS
its in the trailer and gameplay buddy
NO! SHOW ME THE BETA, REAL GAMEPLAY, POST SEETHE SO THAT I CAN SHRED THAT LAST LITTLE BIT OF HOPE
bro i swear you just trolling but first girl on the gameplay its the mc, image limit reached so..
It's all subject to change. IT'S ALL SUBJECT TO CHANGE
why you want the mc to be male?
Why are you asking things that have been answered by multiple people countless times by different people in this thread? Frick off.
im talking to you not others, are you hivemind?
>the potential for shipping of the playable characters with anyone but the MC
Yes.
>so that none of the girls have any ounce of fondness for anyone that isn't MC
Yes, although being acquainted to each other is just as normal as i barely remember any of my classmates.
It's only a problem when their dialogues are bloated with nothing but "Hey, do you know A/B/C-san?" that literally no one asked.
I see now.
Well, I'm not a self-inserter myself, but I'm not against the game being written the way self-inserters want. I'm personally picking the female MC myself because I only want to play as cute girls in an action game full of girls, so it won't make much of a difference to me.
Not sure if it was all due to vocal minorities but:
Girl's Frontline 1 added a female commander option that wasn't there before
Azur Lane was trying to expand their audience to females with the anime but chinks raged hard so they went back to male self insert
Aether Gazer baited players with a female-only game but then added males at the last second before release to try and please female players
E.T.E chronicle baited players with cute girls but the plot was yuri
Honkai Star Rail has changed to a fully yuri direction with that new dance trailer
Honkai Impact 3 has changed directions lots of times but the new version lets you pick between male or female MC now
Should be plenty more out there but these are the ones I can remember right now.
Isn't Aether Gazer a super dead game now because of that shit? They end up just fricking with their playerbase in general with that move
I didn't know it wasn't supposed to have males. I just remember the gameplay feeling like shit with massive cooldowns.
There is no point of adding males (only if its mc) bc hoyomo has the monopoly of fujos. Devs should cather us who want all sort of waifus on the game (without) censoring ofc
doods out
it was worse than that, AG had no males in its betas, it came out of nowhere
>Honkai Star Rail has changed to a fully yuri direction with that new dance trailer
Bro... your bronya x seele?
>Rune Factory Tides of Destiny introduces a female MC option
>Females complain that the female MC has less options than the male one
>Rune Factory 4 comes out, male MC and female MC now get the same number, males get half the number of waifus compared to Rune Factory 3
>Now homos complain that there's no gay marriage and they can't marry the same gender
>Rune Factory 5 comes out
>Game is a complete disaster with bland waifus for males, bara furries for females, and now has gay marriage and you're literally forced to be gay even if you don't want to
Yeah that's how it goes.
Definitely willing to become a dolphin on this game if it turns out how I hope it does (lots of sexy waifus and fanservice) but that's a big "if". There's still a lot that could go wrong and recent history of chink gacha releases doesn't bode well. Begging that Manjuu will not make the same mistakes.
They could have zero pandering and you're going to continue to try it out and keep playing it. If you're already considering you might potentially dophin you'll buy whatever their version of a daily premium currency and battle pass is. Let's not pretend.
>If you're already considering you might potentially dophin you'll buy whatever their version of a daily premium currency and battle pass is.
Nope. Only money I've ever spent on gacha is a handful of AL skins because they scratched that itch, which is what I'm looking for here. It may be a surprise to you but not every gacha player is a no self-control having moron.
Literally impossible.
You shouldn't project so hard, anon.
I think Promilia will have a rocky start, the dev is trying to self publish which is a massive commitment, idk where they got that much money from, certainly not AL only but if my experience with AL serves they really try to do the best they cant to the best of their technical abilities, the first 3 years of the game had very hard fanservice with things that aren't common in the game anymore like retrofits.
You can't even oath the botes in china, why ppl think this game will be different?
huh? i don't believe you
Pretty sure the oath change got rolled back.
Even then some of the botes that were “removed” you can still get, multiple people have shown themselves getting Akagi even though she was supposedly removed.
This shit never got reverted, same for the 2021 shit.
what's the best ocr translator? this is important
apparently mihoyo is censoring "azur promilia" as user name and changing it back to "traveler"
that was quick
It's afraid
no way
KEK if true. This game will cause 10x more seeth than any other genshin clone out there, especially if they lock the Male MC and let the female one be the main girl or another gacha unit. Hopefully Manjuu will take advantage of the situation and use this as marketing, it will end up doing better than WuWa
I think they've done this with every major gacha after its announced. I think it's policy.
its just 4 random haikus come on, oyohim
If Azur Prometheus get popular i bet you AKtroons will report the game to the CCP just like they did with AL back then.
Don't worry. AL is killing itself by removing a e-girl.
>Remove e-girls from AL
>When the best selling banner in fricking Genshin history is a e-girl
Is yellow chicken moronic? even the normal gay game make a bank with e-girls
Nahida's banner is #1? I thought it was Raiden.
I hope the redesign personally is that they're just making her look less like Privaty and more like her sisters. Keeping e-girl, leave the color palette.

>I can only hope global wont be censored
They will hire Sweet Baby Inc. for the ESG.
hehehehehehe
It's so fricking over...
Huh? Why would an investment firm director would supervise an anime con event?
It all comes down to Project 2030, the plan to domesticate humanity.
Males, especially straight males, have a genetic tendency to rebel against authority that is not shared by females, especially when their sexual and romantic needs are not being met. They yearn to be fathers, providers, husbands, loved by their wives. With (real) female companionship comes the creation of a microcosm ingroup, one that the male places over the sanctity of the state. This cannot be allowed.
Already, the industrial society that we live in exists to atomize the individuals, separate males and females as best they can to prevent the formation of the familial ingroup. Azur Promilia is the lever by which the romantic frustration of males - separate, but linked to sexual frustrations - shall be relieved in the System of Project 2030. BlackRock chose Manjuu as a backup because of Azur Lane's popularity. Mihoyo was the original candidate, but the CCP's involvement in their operations made them untenable.
By providing this Homesteading Life simulator with creature companionship and a virtual harem, Manjuu's game shall allieviate male stressors and allow a return to productive labor. This is not a cruelty, it is a mercy. The industrial society was not meant for humans, this is the attempt by humans who recognize this to correct the course and allow for humans to remain happy and motivated throughout their daily lives. Azur Promilia is not the only one, but it shall enact the New Standard for Simulated Romance of the male fantasy.
Expect more of these, and fear not for yourselves or your children. You shall be taken care of, as precious puppies being raised in freedom upon the open plain and grassy valley. The controls are not out of malice, but of a love for humanity.
The Pammy Adventure Team shall be my daughterwives. Male MC player, by the way.
>That navel shadow

>white hair

>skintight white bodusuit
The main girls' starter design is hot as frick, a shame it's stuck in that game.
>manjew's CEO is a woman
>pander to straight males
>mihoyo's CEO is an otaku
>pander to yurigays
the world is full of mysteries
>Manjuu censoring
Holy frick I hope they get that artist to design some bawds for this game
Yeah Inazuma was bad. Writting only got worse by the time I dropped it.
Do you think we can get exaggerated body shape like this considering the 3d model? The game trailer so far only shows a somewhat skinny model.
i hope.
i really really doubt it, we have to make concessions for this, if anything pray that Promilia funds a new azur lanes with unrestrained breasts and ass
normal women are going to play this game too so manisraelite wont sexualize the girls that much
A lot of girls play AL and they like lewdness (like half the artist are female anyways). The normalgay femoids can stay in genshin with their homos and NTR, this game was always only going to appeal to the otaku crowd.
If they had that, dont you think they will put it front and center? The notShinano is about as big as we are going to get, I'm afraid.
I'm more concerned about the absolute lack of e-girls and groping though.
If some cheap Taimanin action gacha can I don't see why AP can't
NTaimaninR doesn't want the normie audience.
That wasn't my point at all, ESL.
That one isn't open world, all the animations are canned. They are going to need inverse kinematics for this one, and you can't have breasts or ass that size without them clipping in hilarious ways. I honestly wouldn't mid that, and there is precedent.
When FFXIV added the 2B outfit, the ass was too big and clipped most outfits, so the devs nerfed the ass after a couple of weeks. Player insisted that they liked it that way, so they reverted to the original big butt (the butts in FFXIV are pretty sad normally).
I'm sure they could figure it out. I've seen indie porn games fixing the clipping issue with more accurate collisions or other methods, and this is a multimillion compnay we're talking about.
This is shit. The boob doesn't even jiggle
Get with the times, old man. Concrete breasts are all the rage.
It was just to show that there's precedent of huge 3D breasts
Frick i will just get it out.
I hope azur promilia succeeds i'm so fed up with oyohim but at the same time like their games that this game is almost exactly what i wanted, i am emotionally invested already.
same bro
I've been watching the 12 minutes gameplay demo on repeat. Besides the slow motion effect during combat I dont think it has any downside so far

>Now AP get mass reported by butt hurt gentroons
i don't know man...
cant wait to see the mihomotroons mass report AP lol
They won't mass report this game and force censorship... will they?
Of course they will; mind you Azur Lane was mass reported by Arknights fans and didn't release a single swimsuit skin for an entire year.
They absolutely will. It's the go to form of weaponized autism. AL learned this very well. Twice.
Mihomosexual got reported by trooncent, everything is possible.
They will. Competitors and feminists always abuse the reporting system to get something they don't like in trouble with the CCP.
It's also a common tactic in the gacha/video game space over there. Steal assets and ideas from other games and then try to get their competitor games in trouble through reporting and smear campaigns instead of improving their own game.
How will this game handle coop (if there is any)
Since genshit has a party of 4 and 3 coopable partners I'm gonna assume it will be 2 for AP
I do hope it has guild function
Still hate mihoyo for censoring Shenhe's belly button.
homosexual company, I can only hope Manjuu steals their good character designs
For me it's the bunny dicky with the fat thighs

Pure sex
Wait it's actually THAT Blackrock? I thought it was just a funny coincidence and they were a chinese artist group or something.
I want to believe it's a coincidence, blackrock staff are listed as lighting/makeup which seems odd for that company

Probably wait until new leak/content drop before making a thread. Otherwise we'll be talking in loops
ZZZ is 16+ yet it still got censored in the end
Im worried
The way the censorship works is inconsistent at best. I've seen 12+ games less censored than 16+ ones.
I dunno, Mihoyo were always on the more safe side of things. They just tend to overload their designs for whatever reason. Just look at their "swimsuits"
>Just look at their "swimsuits"

>already got porn
Look at this masterpiece bros
MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODSSSSSSSS???????????????????????
It will be fine, maybe there will be some server and balance oopsies at the beginning but being all female will pay off in the long run, all the ads will be mommies and girls so that's already a massive advantage over the other male inclusive games and if its some sort of casual friendly game everyone will have it in their radar a side game.
Genshin went through a rollecoaster of ranking positions through the years and its back to number one even after HSR hooked most normalgays so Azur Promilia has everything in their favor to entice players that were initially skeptical.
There's a lot of Genshin players who are dissatisfied with Genshin and Mihoyo in general, but lack any good alternative that caters to their tastes.

This whole Raymond thing in GF2 + Handmaid's Tale stuff really smells like feminists.
There are already yurigays posing as moderates/centrists trying to create infighting in tieba subs.
The battle for Azuroth starts now.
After all Mihomosexual drama and GFL2 drama that will only cause shit to escalate even quicker. Every time i check on Tieba or NGA people are always shitting on Yurihomosexuals and any gay shit in general
Tieba/NGA has a higher concentration of male players. Women dominate spaces like Weibo.
Tieba/NGA are the 4chins of china
All i ask is sex with nudes and all that shit.
12+ game with gender selection. Sorry.
The only place where they can published such thing is nutaku.

No one is seething about anything. We're just talking about the situation in China.
Stop assuming everyone is a single individual.
He is the mihomosexual homosexual who is projecting his seeth towards Self insert harem games.
>a few posts says they kind of don't want female MC
>"LOOK ALL OF CHINA HATES IT GAME WILL BE DEAD UNLESS THEY REMOVE IT!"
Yeah
No one is saying that, you seething moron. There are also a signifcant number of posts and threads who were discussing this sort of stuff (and that's excluding the ones deleted by the jannies).
I also mentioned there were people who wanted FeMC as well in this
post.
>Some people are suggesting to gender lock the protagonist to male, but other guys say they don't want to watch a man shaking their butt on screen or that the protagonist is way too boyish, despite agreeing with the first group about the danger of infiltrators.
(me)
By this sort of stuff, I mean the MC gender.
Yes, I will choose the female MC.
Yes, I will make her molest as many anime girls as humanly possible.
I've come to terms with the Fem MC, she can stay i think the game is indeed going to suffer a lot with all these player that like picking them since for them no-males is not an issue and often a selling point even.
So Long Gayshit Infact
A lot of people will play it regardless because it will attack a niche of genshin which is casual elements on top of that it looks way more high fantasy than genshin having relatable fantasy races like kemonos, elves, bird girls and the potatos, etc. That alone is really appealing for me at least compared to genshin where they are all just featureless humans.
Another thing that caught my attention is that there are no "weapon types", every character already has a unique moveset with their predefined weapon, so it will come down to customization if any exists.
>Another thing that caught my attention is that there are no "weapon types",
I'm curious if they are just going to have a a character banner and that is it. One of the annoying thing about Mihoyo games is the multiple gachas(weapon, lightcone, ect)
maybe the top tier pals will be gacha? or maybe the monetization of a second banner will go elsewhere
>maybe the top tier pals will be gacha?
That would kinda ruin the Pokemon/Palworld idea of it for me. I would hope they would just be events that pop up maybe once a month for some new rare creature appearing.
I swear there was some thing about "pet" itemization/equipment/artifacts. They had a special name. I assume that's where most of your stamina is going to go. Given that I think some exclusive pets will be the gacha aside from characters.
I don't care about weapons that much but I hope they don't do the same bullshit where they aggressively lock all fun parts of a character's kit behind dupes. Or at least make dupes farmable, Snowbreak uses the Genshin dupe system but you can farm a character to +6 in half a year or so, so at least you can max out someone you really like eventually.
Making them farmable, over events would be a cool idea. Like you get X amount of a currency and that can go towards getting dupes for character .
Might just be the "domain" or zones you farm gear and what not at.
Why leave money on the table? Just make the event farmables exlusively/for purple equivalent unique pets.
Not gonna give this mindbroken yurigay (You)s anymore.
Good idea, they are like a broken record who cannot stop repeating the same 1 seeth
i NEED middle ground body model in between teen and potato. I know you can do it manjuu.
are you blind? there are 4 types

No, their races are defined
nothing to do furrians and humans, there are 4 heights/ base bodies

good news for you then that's a 4*
Tectone just posted a video addressing the leak drama.
He praised and hopes the game stays female only
But the comments though, holy shit, its like 90/10 of people getting filtered by no-males. I'm so glad the filter is working.
>But the comments though, holy shit, its like 90/10 of people getting filtered by no-males. I'm so glad the filter is working.
Good, filter the shitters and we will have a good community.
filtering people like ba, we eating good this year
they can stay in the hoyoverse
>male sensei voiced by male actor
Gotta commend the devs for that.
Be clear of your target audiences, get your target audiences. It's that shrimple.
kek. the no males complaint is so moronic and not only that these people are complete virtue signaling hypocrites, a fricking lot of westerners also play Blue Archive and Nikke, and why? because of its good reputation that often waifu haters still play games because they can't stand the social pressure bottling up their natural instincts unless they are on HRT which most mihoyo fans are onto.
Yeah for fun I was looking around in the Genshin reddit and such and these people are mental. They actually praise when Genshin does censorship and stuff
>They actually praise when Genshin does censorship and stuff
I remember when people were defending that joke of a first anniversary. That is how you know the fanbase for that game had literally never played a gacha game before.
90% of western players are just gacha tourists, ofc that happen
How about when Star Rail got the free Dr. Ration and Genshin has yet to get anything of that magnitude.
It's more of a general attitude problem towards anti-consumer practices in the west. On one hand you have the redditor bootlickers who will instantly bandwagon anything with "omg you entitled baby the poor corporation would make one less billion if they did the thing you want", and even the average Ganker poster isn't any better because they try to fit in by being ironic and above caring about anything. You get "yeah who gives a shit I'm not some loser who cares about thing deal with it nerd" which has the exact same effect of letting absolutely any bullshit corporations and devs pull go unchecked.
I find it ironic how often the chinese get called bugmen around here when they've obviously developed some consumer solidarity and are able to push corporations into doing what they want while the west eats up shit on a daily basis and is proud of it.
Its so funny how every eceleb covering the leak issue reacts surprised that Manjuu responded.
>reacts surprised that Manjuu responded.
A company giving a shit about their players is unfortunately a rare thing these days. Especially Hoyoversegays Three rolls btw
open world fate gacha when
manjuu so no name dev in only 7 years with a shitty png collector made a full fledged 3d game, what makes you think DW has any interest in thinning their profit margins?
NTA, but I agree with you. After Sakura Revolution failed, I doubt DW would take any more risk.
never ever
>actually getting filtered by a cute girl
kek literally on the same level of the no-males morons
I won't use my self-insert outside of cutscenes hence "I don't wanna see man's ass" is a dumb argument. If anyone's gay, that's you.
That is the yurihomosexual cope. They always say they hate Self insert, but in fact they only hate male self inserts while self inserting as the woman alwaysliterally troony behavior
It sould be one thing if they merely self-insertrd as a woman. The problem is mc wars and shipping.

it'll just be /gig/ and /hsrg/ 3.0
well, male MC already lost then lmao
bro who cares about if mc is female or male lol
true
Since no one cares I'm sure you won't complain when they remove the female mc then lol.
Don't engage with the lowercase troony. He's just here to troll.
im not trolling like you typing on a phone
im playing a female, bc i want to see a female ass only on my screen i cant care less about males on the gacha, ill insert myself as the hot chick ill be playing so who cares
Shit is legit fricking cancer. I want them to lock a MC just for that reason alone
>I want them to lock a MC just for that reason alone
Genshin has the male MC locked in for all its promotional material, and that hasn't helped in the slightest.
He is not actually locked, but heavily implied, but that's not even what was talking about, i was talking about legit making the Male MC the only playable option while the Female one is playable by her being given for free on in the first banner.
Rather than banner just make her into something like the ZZZ sibling. Also allow the player to switch the from the mc to other characters while roaming through the map.
Until the game drops and we see how neutered the interactions are because of selectable genders nothing will be changed.
But i am sure that Manjuu will remedy it depending how big the blow out is because of the "blowfish" allegations.
Calm your breasts
Frick you. My breasts will not be calmed until I see it. I've been down this road too many times before. I'm in full lactation mode and the tap won't be turned off until. I. Fricking. See it.
They said you will be able to customize the mc's appearance btw
Big if true

Thanks I hate it.

We get it you like looking at men's ass, just go play genshin then

A moron made another thread after we hit the image limit des
Why the frick we got 2 threads?
someone created one earlier when we got to image limit.
I'm surprised it hasn't been nuked by the jannies because in /vmg/ waiting until page 10 is the thing to do.
sorry forgot this too
>WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE DEVS SAID BOTH ARE CANON AND IT IS YOUR DECISION
The sperg is just hysterical for no good reason
Granblue LITERALLY has different lines for Gran and Dj, i have no doubt in my mind Manjuu will do the same because they know this kind of dynamic, its not that expensive either.
You shouldn't forget the limitations of pandering when you can pick the gender of the mc. But I guess it doesn't matter that much when the age rating is 12+
cool slope there but i don't remember ~~*manjuu*~~bros being that obnoxious.
Just make both playable at the same time, give focus to the male mc in the story, make it skipabble and add incestuous tension between both mcs
literal gacha of the year right there
WOAH CRAZY THAT'S THE SAME CONSENSUS AS...LET'S SEE...TWO THOUSANDS POST AGO
calm down you are balding faster, fatty
And i WON'T give you (You)s because i know someone as pathetic as you put push notification for replies LMAO
Meant for
That'd be cool. Not sure how they'd make it work without a vehicle to get the player grounded in their adventure. Maybe if they made it so that (You) were actually a team of four doing whatever bullshit you're doing.
That would just turn the game into shipshit. The easiest choice would be to make rhe MC into a cameraman, but this is a 3D game so...
That's what I mean. You have to have some sort of MC for a game like this. Without one you'd have to follow the PoV of random characters when they're doing something important. It falls apart.
>Without one you'd have to follow the PoV of random characters when they're doing something important. It falls apart.
Characters having their own personality, goals and affect the story? That would be HORRIBLE!
Players also have their own wallets.
Chink waifugays (ie. The people looking forward to this game the most) make fum of this tired shipgay argument all the time.
>illiterate shitposter
I'll dumb it down for you. The adventure has to have a through-line with a character or group of characters to tie you down and embed you into it. The MC doesn't need to be a single character, but they need to be consistently involved. That is why I started talking about a team anon.
If there was no MCs at all you'd have to follow random gacha NPCs while they're actually doing something and wouldn't be able to build a connection at all with how often things would jump around. It would feel disjointed and episodic. Because it would be. This thing can work in single-player games, but this is an open world 3D adventure game. You'll have months, sometimes a year+ without rotating back to characters.
It would also fill the danbase with shippers, which might also affect the game's direction. Even Genshin made quite a few changes due to reports by feminists and shippers having melties over pandering to the player.

>Not sure how they'd make it work without a vehicle to get the player grounded
the plot now is now full harem
>The mc send his wives to explore planes and bring him more females to marry.
>game will have sanitized dialog, no pandering, no oaths and people will still fight on who is the real mc or not
No thank you. Either lock the Male MC or make a generic omnipandering game like WuWa
>omnipandering
Go play genshit
It's also 12+, so it's going to end up like this
Remember they changed oaths in AL because feminists reported it to the CCP.
isn't nikke and brown dust 2 also 12+ rating and they are still very lewd games? Maybe its just different in Korea? Also reports even do anything anymore in china? I remember genshin being reported for adding that homosexual character Lyney and the Scara situation and nothing happened to them
They want to have her playable because she is cute, but her being playable doesn't mean she needs to be a Main character, she could be just another girl from gacha
nikke is not officially published on china
12+ in Korea and 12+ in China are very different things. NIKKE, despite being 12+ in Korea, is similar to Azur Lane in lewdness which is 16+ in China.
>Also reports even do anything anymore in china?
Depends on the political and economic climate and what ties the company has with the CCP. Mihoyo is very closely involved with the CCP after they went big with Genshin so nothing will ever likely happen to them and most of their "censorship" is self-inflicted to not upset their fujo playerbase.
After a lot of anti-gaming pushes that added a bunch of age restrictions and that license requirement people keep bringing up the CCP fricked up massively recently by proposing regulations that would have pretty much killed mobile gaming and had to shamefully backtrack on it after stocks started crashing. Since the Chinese economy is not in amazing shape they'll probably keep a very hands off aproach for the immediate future so it's a great time for Manjuu to try to get away with more. Smaller games like Snowbreak are already getting confident and starting to put out uncensored panties and lewd outfits.
>Smaller games like Snowbreak are already getting confident and starting to put out uncensored panties and lewd outfits.
This isn't really because of that. Those devs did the exact same thing for their last game. The way to game the Ministry of Culture's system is toe the line early on and then when you're well established and less scrutinized turn on the lewd. You're fine unless you start getting reported.
>You're fine unless you start getting reported.
And this shit company get reported every other year, first AKtroons then another shit company making an AL clone.
Yeah. We're going to see companies eating each other alive once a few contenders start finding their footholds.
so the self insert gay is just trolling, got it
>mihomosexual homosexual trolling 24/7 and repeating the same 2 questions every time
>No, its you the one who is trolling
Frick off, yurishitters
>yuriGODS WWA???
Just delete both MC
Can't wait for the moment when beta starts and chinks complains so much about xxn and blowfish that Manjuu needs to remove the female mc, yurihomosexuals tears are going to be delicious assuming they dind't 41% themself by then
How old are you?
Enough to frick your mom
>yuritroony cope
how to kill your company 2.0 kek
A significant number of chink players also want to play with the female mc because she's cute. They are simply afraid of infiltration by feminists (xxn) and yurigays (blowfish)
you have to stop coping already, the amount of men that pick female mcs is massive
>inb4 they pull a MICA Team and give the infamous "please be rational"
>This game is also 12+ reeeeeeee
AL and Nikke are also 12+ morons
AL is 16+
Holy shit that tieba forum is literally Ganker level of shitposting
>gossip gossip gossip
>hey guys i trolled this guy
>social media screencaps everywhere
kek lmfao
>rare sighting of globo and changs being on the same page
The GFL2 situation was the straw that broke the camel's back for them. Ever since them the tension between waifugays and feminists/shippers/yurigays has escalated a lot since waifugays became less passive.
Let the blowfish hit the floor

Well, jannies? Is it okay to move or nah?
Wait until page 10
I'm not a janitor my fellow anonymous poster. Try your luck and see what happens.
I want to play with notYuuka and notfemDanHeng already
Does having a female mc option mean we can't have oaths?
Azur lane has implemented "friendship tiaras" for the im@s collab before so maybe yurigays can get a best friend bracelet or something
>best friend certificate
my fricking sides
What they are talking about is unrelated to that.
Game is clearly yurikino if they wanted to market it as a harem game they would have shown the male mc first
The general opinion of the chinese playerbase seems to be hostile towards yurigays tho. They are disliked even by the people who want to play as female.
>The general opinion of the chinese playerbase seems to be hostile towards yurigays tho
Source, two posts I looked on at NGA!
cope homosexual
Kill blowfish. Behead blowfish. Roundhouse kick a blowfish into the concrete. Slam dunk a blowfish baby into the trashcan. Crucify filthy blowfish. Defecate in a blowfish food. Launch blowfish into the sun. Stir fry blowfish in a wok. Toss blowfish into active volcanoes. Urinate into a blowfish gas tank. Judo throw blowfish into a wood chipper. Twist blowfish heads off. Report blowfish to the IRS. Karate chop blowfish in half. Curb stomp pregnant black blowfish. Trap blowfish in quicksand. Crush blowfish in the trash compactor. Liquefy blowfish in a vat of acid. Eat blowfish. Dissect blowfish. Exterminate blowfish in the gas chamber. Stomp blowfish skulls with steel toed boots. Cremate blowfish in the oven. Lobotomize blowfish. Mandatory abortions for blowfish. Grind blowfish fetuses in the garbage disposal. Drown blowfish in fried chicken grease. Vaporize blowfish with a ray gun. Kick old blowfish down the stairs. Feed blowfish to alligators. Slice blowfish with a katana.
>no mention about lilyposting
we won yuribros
Wtf is lily? Or white dolphin chaser etc?
Lily = yuri
Lily = yuri
海豚 (hǎi tún) = dolphin
海 Hai = sea
豚 tun = pig
Sea pig = yuritard
Blowfish = river pig = yuritard
XXN = weibo feminist
Turtle = cuck?
Ignore the yurigays, morons.
The people most looking forward to this game in china are haremgays. And they dislike people like shippers, yurigays and feminists.
Yes Black person, when the idolmaster collab was added to the game, before the post you linked even happen, friendship tiaras were added to the game for them instead of oath rings. Try not being a fricking moronic ape next time you post something.

Will the next thread be the same harem schizo shitting up the entire thread?
The trannoid lost xis mind.
Holy yurishitter seeth, you lost gay
Bro, he's likely not even here anymore.
Biggest thread in the history of /vmg/
Everyone's cautiously excited about what it could be and also dreading what it could be. This game is going to be the biggest wiener tease until we get more details.
Yeah. I guess the mihoyogays moved to the other thread so this one should be comfier now.
The official twitter acount is following steam
https://tieba.baidu.com/p/8950645282
Any chances of independent pc client?
Dunno, really. The EN account is the one following steam.
That could be huge actually considering manjuu is just starting self publishing
I thought some company called JIMI was handling publishing?
That was formed just like year, seems like a placeholder subsidiary to manjuu
Ah, I guess it’s like Cognosphere for Hoyoverse then.
Cognosphere is hoyo's parent company.
I suspect quite a few players will migrate from Genshin to one of the Genshin clones that fit their tastes within the next few years.
A lot of people play Genshin due to a lack of real alternatives in the industry.
It’s possible. If we are being honest what does Genshin really offer? Other than being the first of its kind.
Mihoyo has also been catering too much to their female playerbase that quite a few male players are getting more and more dissatisfied.
The new female characters are also far less attractive than the older ones.
Sounds, visuals, and smooth animations.
(Me)
Oh and to some extent, clothing physics.
Definitely, Genshin has turned itself into a Disney product.
Wuwa is much "cooler" and Promilia is much coomer.
WuWa will probably catch some of the gameplaygays, Promillia will probably catch the waifugays/self-inseters. People invested in Hoyoverse won’t budge(shippers)
I stopped playing anyway even with no alternatives
Sumeru was just too much
What came after isn'r much better
>isn't*
Typo.
I doubt it if they're day one players. Once you're invested it'll take something like Azur Promilia with a malePC only to really pull anyone away and even that might not be enough. Some of those dudes have dropped a down payment for a home into the game. It's why everyone is asking Manjuu to reconsider male + female PC. That route is just a less offensive genshin clone and you're not really pulling anyone away with that.
Something like a dedication to the PC, ie (You) (male) (exclusively), in a world of female units is something to play into in an industry that's going harder and harder into globohomosexual pandering. They already confirmed it'll be female units only. If they go the extra step and make it malePC only you've captured a niche that the market has neglected and swept away. There's a lot of money there. They'd be foolish to throw it away.
There's quite a few gacha games past their prime who are kept alive entirely by whales.
If mhy sabotaged genshin again just to shill ZZZ like they did for HSR then it would be a good time for ppl to try (not even jump ship) AP
Agree. AP at the moment cant compete in term of OST (Yu Peng Chen left a great legacy for his music team), clean animation (AP has too many unnecessary moves in combat like WuWa), environmental visual (even Dragonspine still looks more detailed despite being 3 years old)
It will take a lot of time and effort for AP to catch up
>hurrdurr just migrate from genshin
>because hurrdurr
>just because hurrdurr
Would you have faith in this even if it had a rough start?
Fricking. Wait.
That will depend on Manjuu's attitude towards the players. I want to avoid feeling any attachment towards corpos.
Too many hoyogays are willing to defend anything hoyo does.
>Less rewards than last anni? So what, you are a poorgay!
>Bad kits? No, you see... (excuses)
>Bad writing? No, you are wrong because (excuses)
>and may other examples
No, the first impression is the most important for the public, look at ToF for example or cuck frontline 2.
Bad start = your game is dead.
If it's a rough start because of genuine issues like bugs, technical and performance problems, content delays, I'm willing to stick with it and give them an honest chance at getting their act together, it's their first 3D high budget game and I'm not expecting the world.
If it's a rough start because they try to frick me over somehow or pull any form of bait and switch I'm instantly out. I gave Genshin 6 months of my life and still want them back.

The next thread is at 1259 already too, 4k posts about this altogether.

because there's a lot of expectations and discussion for Azur Promilia?
this game is so peak, I literally can't stop refreshing youtube to watch people reacting to the gameplay trailer.
