I don't play Kancolle (the last browser game I played was BattleSpace, and I stopped because Marvelous closed and the European server sucks), so I want to know what does it mean "win" in this game.

If it is a game with ranking, generally means anyone can get a good rank without wasting money.
For example, Valkyrie Crusade's ranking (the Subdue Archwitch one, not the Alliance Duel) is pretty F2W. You just need a lot of senders and time. Money doesn't really help you (maybe in getting good UR cards, but they aren't needed).

If this game doesn't have a ranking, then it means you can beat the story (and probably special events) without spending money, but there must be some catch.
Maybe it is like Candy Crash Saga, that it is mostly a luck game in later stages if you don't spend money.
Or maybe it needs careful planning like saving resources for an event and, if you waste a lot without thinking, the only way is getting them with money.

I just hope it isn't like Puzzle & Dragons. People tell you to restart the app until you get a good monster.
That kills the interest in the game before you actually play it.

>> No.12340141

>>12340124
Kantai Collection = aim is to collect all ships (and maybe waifu one of them and level her to 150). Think of it as something like Pokémon in that regard.

The game has a monthly ranking where the top 500 in every server get something, but most people don't usually bother with it I think.

>Or maybe it needs careful planning like saving resources for an event and, if you waste a lot without thinking, the only way is getting them with money.
Pretty much this. Most people don't bother with ranking for this reason. They want to stockpile for the next event due to paranoia. Whether the paranoia is well-founded or not is another story, of course. It wasn't for Spring event but more likely than not it will for this event.

Touhou is not outdated. Touhou will NEVER be outdated. All this trolling about Kancolle being "more recent" or "more popular" than Touhou is really getting on my last damn nerve. Because Touhou is nowhere close to being outdated, and it's just trolls like the OP here who are virally marketing Kancolle in an attempt to convince people that Kancolle is the new Touhou when we couldn't be further from the truth. This is a cheap attempt to collapse and commodify the Touhou fandom, to steal a piece of our pie so that Kancolle can profit.

Be strong, my brouhous. This too, will pass. They're just trolling. We will always have our veritable stream of Touhou, and it will be quality.

This pretty much pisses everybody off including Japan. That's why Japan is starting to re-militarize themselves.

Actually.

Those people that Shikieki (and Komachi) mean when they say that are unproductive NEETs who lose grips on reality.

Shikieiki is perfectly fine with people not getting along, she even encourages youkai like Yuuka to attack people, and for Miko like Reimu to exterminate youkai, because that's the right thing to do.

Not to mention the nature of Gensokyo itself is isolationist, with all the foreigners getting beaten up by the local inhabitants (the Hakurei miko) by force.

If China is a foreign force attempting to mess up Gensokyou/Japan, then Japan representative/military (Reimu) would go beat China up, and words are useless against her.

In this way, it can be said that Touhou encourages self-defense with force.

At the end of the day, both Yuuka and Reimu are doing their attacking and exterminating with danmaku. Bloody fighting has been replaced with ritualized courtship displays. Not very militaristic there.

But actually, the lecture I was thinking of in particular was Shikieiki's criticism of Medicine Melancholy's and her suzuran field.

People do get hurt in spell card rule, but never mind that, the second reason why spellcard rule is made, aside from not hurting your own side, is to strenghen yourself in case a strong youkai from the outside world attack, that building up is pretty militarism.

It's pretty damn clean. Conflict resolution is ritualized. Sure, there still is conflict, but so what? The laws of war were drafted in line with liberal thinking and yet people still have wars. The only way to not have any conflict ever is for nobody to have any ambition and youkai aren't going to put up with that kind of garbage.

Actually I'd say it's an elegant, particularly Japanese solution to the problem.

The idea is that that conflict, and even if non-lethal resolution happens, it still means no world peace for anyone, it just means everyone get to be as brutal as they can as long as it abides to spellcard rule.

It promotes militarism and self-defense (got a problem with that dude, build up your power and your friend's power, and beat him the fuck up) at the same time.

But it's ultimately doesn't mean jackshit if the opponent does not agree to spellcard rule.

>> No.12358600

Gensokyo isn't a Machiavellian place where everybody studies the letter of the law and figures out how to be as brutal as possible without breaking it. I mean, come on. Look at the Second Lunar War, that was resolved with the only casualty on both sides being one jar of sake. Danmaku is more like sports than real combat. People challenge each other to that shit for shits and giggles.

And in SoPM you just have people casually talking out their geopolitics (before the law arrives and closes the party). It doesn't have the atmosphere of a Yoshinoya where a fight could break out at any time.

>But it's ultimately doesn't mean jackshit if the opponent does not agree to spellcard rule.

Because 2hu does acknowledge no spellcard rule battles, and ZUN just tries to avoid it as much as it can because it strays away from the game.

Imagine if Yorihime didn't agree to the spellcard rule and she fought to kill instead, thing would be messy.

And no, I don't complain 2hu, 2hu attributes some of the values I share (pro-spiritual, pro-self defense, pro-mil), it's just that the guy was saying Gensokyou is internationalist, which it's not, even Gensokyou itself is broken into various factions, the only thing they agree on is spellcard rule.

>And in SoPM you just have people casually talking out their geopolitics (before the law arrives and closes the party). It doesn't have the atmosphere of a Yoshinoya where a fight could break out at any time.

Funnily enough, we've never seen anyone step out of bounds. The fights are arbitrarily settled in spellcard duels.

You think spellcard fights are too combat oriented and deciding victors based on strength is unacceptable, ok think of spell card fights as 'melee oriented sports', like sumo wrestling and boxing. At the end of the day neither party ends up with significant casualties and they can still continue being friends without any ill will

Maybe this is a stretch considering the closest thing to a mil 2hu has is the lunar defense force and these rabbits are a joke, Reisen aside

The military leaders such as Yorihime and Toyohime are portrayed decently though, even they make about exterminating people, but Yorihime and Toyohime only care about defending the moon from impurity, rather than attacking the source of impurity (the Earth), so they are not really anti-war libs, but they aren't heartless monsters either.

There is nothing funny about it because ZUN purposely made it that way.

But as said Akyuu stated the 2nd reason for spellcard rule is to fight against each other and become stronger as a result, which means ZUN still acknowledges outside threats that might not abide to spellcard rule.

I don't think it will happen in the games, but it would be nice for a future plot point.

There's no "elite soldier".

Those rabbits are the elite emissaries she were training.

People deny the moon war but evidently a lot of older, experienced rabbits (the Reisen I generation or older) are dead and the new batch are just in training. And Yorihime wanted to be sure, considering no matter how strong she is, Reimu and co still outnumber her and can target the rabbits instead.

Why bother? Kancolle is a game that gets you hyped easily but there's only so much you can do with both the gameplay and content.
I had been playing Kancolle since last year and have already stopped for a month. Both the events and new girls can't keep me playing. Basically, I unfollow the game and whatever new content Kadokawa release will soon become obscure to me.
It's from my experience, I won't stop you from trying it out, just a little review.

It's not either and I was not talking about Touhou either.
My point is that Kancolle doesn't offer much in both gameplay and content. It probably wouldn't last longer than 2 or 3 years either.
If you want comparison with Touhou, well, I still find the characters interesting and continue to enjoy the games. The manga updates is good as well in my opinion. I was never into more than 10 ship girls and actually only feel emotionally attached to Kirishima. The new ship girls, I don't care. I actually stopped caring about new ship girls since Musashi.
Actually, the thing that I enjoy the most out of Kancolle is that official 4-koma which features Fubuki as main protag.
