World Dai Star will now add male self-insert after seeing how popular Blue Reflect S is.

>>42731047
Shine Post will become a success if it differentiates itself from Idoly Pride and Lapis and shows everyone's pantsu instead of everyone wearing spats or shorts.

>>42731095
Idols don't wear pantsu.

Kishida needs Sun to be a success, he put a lot of work into the game and even came out as pansexual to try to appease the fanbase.

>>42731300
I am one too but I follow a smorgasbord of genres. I like yuri but I also like SoL, CGDCT, romance, het, idols, and other stuff. I even watch the occasional yaoi.

>>42731274
I don't remember this in the game

>>42731259
and her wings and fishnets

I downloaded the game for Hinako but she's not even in the game yet. This game is just a giant heckin grind too. I don't dislike what I played so far but its a pretty obvious pay 2 win game if you don't want to spend weeks grinding.

What's worth playing right now?

>>42731388
DW and DJ

>>42731347
Did you at least get to see pantsu? If yes post your pics.

This game has a really terrible UI. Nothing is intuitive and nothing tells you anything useful without having to click to different menus.

>>42731388
Please play

>>42731556
I don't remember them looking this fugly in console versions.

Crush & build.

Trust the plan.

This game is pretty heckin tedious. There's so much to upgrade and grind. So much of the game is trivialized if you just get SSRs in the gacha too. Gotta love pay 2 win kusoge.

No, you only see blobs of light that hide their feminine shapes.

Pic related.

For the Lapisbros, I found two things from the internet that may intrigue you.
Here's the first one, from 5ch (https://krsw.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/gamesm/1667719609/148).). Putting these in Translate, these are what LapiLai would've gotten:
>The main story new chapter is 79 episodes for 7 chapters.
>Unit story new 6 episodes + 6 episodes (2 chapters), Ray formation episode 13 episodes.
>The 5 episodes of the event story have been completely recorded for 28 episodes, and the 4 episodes that the teachers saw are just the tip of the iceberg.
>Other Cards Stories, Battle Voices and other huge creations.
The other thing on this list was:
>The analysis archives of Chinese volunteers have been completely erased.
Stay tuned for the other one.

>>42734498
Here's the other one.
https://pickups.jp/global/54290/
Last February 10, the Chinese General Administration of Press and Publication released a new approval information for domestic online games. One of these games is Lapis Re:Lights, which would be distributed by BiliBili.
The article also pointed out that the game was originally developed by Shengqu Games, which is why it was checked and approved that way.
Meanwhile, Japanese fans are now aware of this. Time will tell what will happen next.

>>42734075

i was in blue reflection and atelier discords briefly and it had to be some of the most deluded and cringe group of people i've ever come across on the internet. i really hate discord, are there any good places aside from mongolian basket weaving forums to talk about gust and other niche jrpgs?

>>42735141
It's very original so hope it won't flop, but it feels too demanding for a side game.

Also it has isekai so lapis sensei should enjoy it.

>>42737596
>>42737629
I really don't want to say this, but my experience with yurifags and yuri hasn't been pleasant, and I say this as someone who actually likes yuri (in addition to other genres). Their fans tend to be pretty extreme and closed-minded for whatever reason. You can even see those types on /a/ as well and it seems in recent years they've become the dominant form of yuri fan in Japan at least for otaku media.

>>42738192
a lot of western BR fans i've encountered are the super angry fat millitant lesbian type or just trans. Either way they are unhappy people and want everybody else to be unhappy with them.

>>42736993
You really just download it from the store like normal. Maybe it doesn't work with qooapp.

>>42738247
Is it me or have yuri fans become way more militant over the last few years? They weren't like this before and frankly it's affecting my enjoyment of the genre. It's becoming hard for me to actually like yuri stuff when people who are into it tend to be so closed-minded and militant. Like, I'm probably one of the few yuri fans left who doesn't mind other genres and consumes several kinds of stuff, whereas the hard yuri fans now tend to really only like yuri now, and a specific type of yuri no less (i.e. the ones where males are either de-emphasized or non-existent). The funny thing is that, from what I can tell, militant yuri fans tend to be men, not women, so it's not only self-hatred but also seemingly contradictory.

>>42738293
they justify their behavior because actual yuri content / franchises is pretty rare. most of the yuri fandom exists in terrible non official ships and head canon. i remember telling some yuri fanatics that most of blue reflection is poorly written yuri bait and they immediately got all defensive with their passive aggressive behavior. never mind the facts that there's a girl in 1 that has a crush on her male senpai and the only "yuri"character in the first game is basically just comedic relief. Then the sequel comes around and there is actual real yuri and it's written so badly that you could remove it out of the game entirely and nothing would have changed.

Also never bring up Kishida or Tsuchiya to them, they want to continue existing in their own deluded head canon that the series isn't about sexualizing JKs.

>>42737629
It's a damn shame the Gust thread just went and died. Admittedly there isn't much to talk about aside from when the new Atelier comes out or if someone new to the games came in and asked about stuff. It probably would been spammed off the board with all of the vtuber threads anyway.

>>42738334
So you're saying it doesn't matter to them if canon yuri is poorly written or contrived as long as it's actual yuri?

>most of the yuri fandom exists in terrible non official ships and head canon.
The funny thing is that you can pretty much say the same thing for yaoi, and yet generally speaking, militant yaoi is nowhere near as common as militant yuri. I'm not saying it exists: it does, and militant fujoshi are just as bad or even worse than militant yuri fans (they've even sent death threats in the past!), it's just that my impression is that the average yuri fan is more likely to be militant than the average yaoi fan, and I have no idea why.

>>42738346
it's probably better that those threads died before Ryza came out. Ryza introduced a bunch of coomer tourists to Atelier and the series basically never existed before Ryza at this point now.

>>42738361
That is essentially why yuri fans are so crazy about Blue Reflection. They are losing their shit and genuinely getting very upset that their yuri series is now a harem series with a male mc. If anything Gust adding the male mc was probably due to the poor sales of tie and them doubling down on the yuri content. Turns out the yuri market isn't actually big at all and a lot of Gust fans got turned off by the sequel toning down all the fan service and shoehorning a forced yuri plot that goes absolutely nowhere in the game.

>>42738400
So you're saying that the yuri *hurt* sales rather than helped? Doesn't that go against the common narrative on 4chan that yuri boosts interest and popularity rather than the opposite?

>that is essentially why yuri fans are so crazy about Blue Reflection.
I was speaking more in general than about BR specifically. In fact I had Kirara and CGDCT fans in mind rather than BR when I made that post.

>>42738400
>Turns out the yuri market isn't actually big at all
So people were lying when they said that Lycoris and G-Witch were popular because of the yuri? What about Kirara becoming more openly yuri over the last few years and CGDCT series leaning more towards the yuri aspect recently? Are they just appealing to a niche that's actually surprisingly small, simply vocal, or is there something else behind it?

>>42738400
It's been planned since the same time as Tie. Stop posturing as an expert on the subject.

>>42738400
BR Sun was in production the same time as Second Light they're just hopping both trains

>>42738411
>>42738452
I know most people here are unstable, but do you really need to converse with yourself like this out in the open?

>>42738411
Gust tried to reboot the series as a full on yuri franchise with the anime and tie. They both drastically under performed and Sun is the only reference to BR in any of the KT financial reports, they already gave up on BR as a series going forward it seems. I think Tie sold more than 1, but at the same time it had a way bigger budget and got a huge multimedia launch with it. Gust sales post Ryza 1 are also way higher for all of their games now too along with overall videogames sales increasing every year. Either way, references of tie and the anime were scrubbed pretty quickly by KT.

In the end I think the main things killing the series was them toning down all of the fanservice and most people don't actually like or care for yuri.In the end BR was always just a slice of life jrpg with lots of JK fanservice. I just view the male MC as damage control because they need to make their money back. Also Shiho is basically the main love interest in Sun which I'm sure makes yuri fanatics super upset.

Unrelated but I'm pretty sure Tie was banned in Russia because of the yuri content too which I found funny.

>>42738452
i think some series can break out and be popular because of the yuri aspects, BR was never a big series and them going all in on yuri did nothing for it.

>>42738487
It was only a few months ago that we learned that the MC of Sun would be male. There was a very long time where nothing was known about Sun. Pretty sure November was the first we actually had any news about there being a male character which was only months before its launch.

https://www.siliconera.com/blue-reflection-sun-trailer-teases-a-male-protagonist/

>>42738506
Shiho talked about a male leader in Tie and it pissed off a lot of people then but everyone just inhaled a lot of copium, it was always planned they just didn't talk about it until they were finished squeezing the yuri fans

>>42738506
I'm still surprised at how much /a/ liked the anime when from what I saw even the actual game fans didn't like it. I myself watched a few episodes but dropped it a few episodes in, I just couldn't stand it.

>>42738506
>them toning down all of the fanservice
I wonder why they thought that was a good idea and if they thought they should backtrack on that from sun. Toning down fanservice in otaku media rarely works and backfires more often than not yet people keep doing it.

>>42738567
*backtrack on that in Sun

>>42738527
sure but the male leader could have just been a random background character just there for comedy events. i guess we'll never know for sure or not if the male mc was always planned from the start. there was no real indication that sun was going to be a harem game with hetero romance given the image the series was pushing out.

>>42738556
The anime was pretty boring, it would have been better if it was only 1 cour. Tie ignored some of the unique character traits like them having scars which was pretty important to their character arcs. All in all it felt really disconnected because Tie didn't include those details, mostly just due to low effort or miscommunication I guess.

>>42738567
Kishida claimed it was for "global audiences". No idea if any of this is actually true since Kishida was actually demoted for the sequel compared to his position in the first game. I just don't get how you go from having a fetish for smelling stinky jk socks to coming out as pansexual for the global market and not liking sexualization of cute girls.

https://www.thegamer.com/mel-kishida-interview-blue-reflection/

>>42738600
Why do you think then did /a/ like the show?

>>42738618
I think it was because of the hype that BR was coming back. The anime itself was a really cliche forgettable experience with tons of QUALITY moments for the animation. The only memes to come out of the show were how autistic the girls were and the single male at the konbini. It was also fun placing the anime in the timeline of the series, before Tie came out but then Tie came out and had such a terrible story that it wasn't worth being invested with the plot at all.

They must have buffed the hell out of the TT event drops if I'm getting 1500 after a fight.

>>42738646
From what I've seen, most of the /a/ fans of it had never even played the games.

>>42738668
no idea then, I know that /v/ has some strangely attached fans to the series that are probably the same people posting about it on /a/.

The anime couldn't even hit sufficient preorders in Japan which is a decent indication of popularity. Gust fans are usually fanatic at grabbing any kind of physical goods too.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2021-06-15/blue-relection-ray-anime-home-video-release-canceled/.173991

>>42735671
I am not saying that or more or less, but it just raises a lot of questions.
Think about it, why was it that China approved the game for distribution months after the game shut down in Japan? And also, if Shengqu Games is the original developer the game like the article pointed out, was it the developer issues and arguments between them and Klab/Kadokawa that caused the game to end service in the first place? Not to mention the question of release by Shengqu and BiliBili.
Again, there are many questions, and the future is uncertain.

I don't want to invest in my SR characters but I'm hitting the wall, what do I do?

>>42735257
Post school uniform pantsu shots from Sun.

BRS is getting review bombed on Play Store...

>>42739888
is it genuine reviews or just people upset that it's not yuri anymore? the game is pretty bad even without the controversy, it will be a miracle if it lasts a year.

>>42739892
No matter how bad the game is, it couldn't be 1.9 star

>>42739702
there's no model viewer in the game that lets you do it, the animations also make it difficult to see any upkirts, you are better off just ripping the assets since it's just a unity game anyway.

>>42739900
You can see their panties every time the battle starts.

The saddest part is that most yuri discussions are meta discussions about the state of yuri itself rather than the content.

>>42740994
Can you really blame it when many yuri fans act the way they do? It wouldn't surprise me if their actions are turning people away from yuri, even those who actually like the genre.

>>42740434
I've talked to some of them and they genuinely seem to be ignorant about female friendships. They seriously think that it's impossible for women to be friends with each other without it turning into yuri. Sometimes I wonder if they've ever had actual female friends or knew female friend groups in real life.

>>42741078
Based, is there even such a thing as yurige? It's all female friendship in mobages.

>>42741078

>>42741078
Many people who are "troubled" by yuri fans turn out to be ignorant homophobes. They have no idea about homosexuality. Likely they don't have homosexual friends or relatives but it's not an excuse to keep living in a fantasy world where there's only friendship between women and nothing more.

>>42741798
I personally am very pro-LGBTQ and know multiple people, including relatives, who are LGBTQ, and I still think the militant yuri fans can be grating. I personally like yuri but I find the attitude of those militant frustrating, especially when they attack anyone with different opinions or even people who doubt if something actually is yuri.

Story

>>42738646
>Tie had a bad story
Geez, some people really got a bad case of mobage brain or something. The two Blue Reflection games had actually something that's rare in the game industry: Good writing with drama that stays grounded. (English translation aside, that one sucked)
It even took a really badly written char out of the garbage anime, and made her work. Something that's insanely hard to do.

The gameplay's quality is average at best, the OST weaker than in BR1 (still better than what the anime did), but if you complain about BR2's story.. I dunno what to say.

>>42741798
>there's only friendship between women and nothing more.
Also that was never my point. Of course lesbians exist. I even know some. My point is that women being close friends with each other does not automatically mean they are lesbians, which is against the narrative of some that women cannot be close to each other unless they are lesbians, or that close friendships automatically mean being a lesbian.


To give you an example: back in high school I knew multiple female schoolmates who had female friend groups. And guess what? Eventually, they got married to men and had children. The same thing happened in college. I myself had female friends who were also friends with other women, but they all either had boyfriends or got married to men. Those kinds of experiences are what made me wonder if those kinds of yuri fans have even had interactions with female friend groups in their lives, because if they did, they'd know that close female friendship does not automatically mean they're lesbians.

Are we raided by /v/ and /u/?

>>42741917
Are they discussing EoS? If the answer is no...

>>42741899
>My point is that women being close friends with each other does not automatically mean they are lesbians
This is a weird point, no one claims that.

>>42742170
I've seen some on 4chan making a similar point (as in girls being close to each other must mean they are lesbians or at least lean that way) and I felt I had to set the record straight.

>>42742170
It's the reverse fujo opinion.

I feel like bushiroad mostly keeps games around to sell merchandise. They went through the effort of getting a new dev team for that Symphogear game for example

>>42756295
The next Symphogear Project is slated for 20XX after all.

>>42756290

>>42756305
that makes it even more impressive they're keeping the game running, isn't it
the two main guys behind that IP are making a JRPG with now so there confirmed won't be any anime content for 3+ years. Keeping the game running until the new project would be complete insanity.

>>42756290
>the anime is still ongoing
Argonavis still has a movie this year
Didn't stop them from shutting the app down

>>42756347
>They are smashing the emergency button
What do you mean?

>>42756522
Argonavis' game shutting down does not mean the whole project is dead. Argonavis is not Lapis or CUE.

>>42756832
CUE died years after the game shut down

>>42756856
True, but it was the confirmation that the game wasn't coming back that killed the franchise. Until that point there was still hope the game would be revived.

>>42756863
More proofs that getting an anime doesn't help with the game these days.

>>42756832
>What do you mean?
They are desperate to save it

>>42757219
Don't people joke that mobage getting anime is a curse rather than a blessing? A lot of mobage died soon after their anime finished, too many to count (but Puramemo, Soraumi, Idol Jihen, and Arsnotoria are some notable examples).

>>42757219
>these days
It was always like that. Anime is a tool to increase the reach of the franchise that has potential on its own. If the franchise is hopeless, then the anime won't do anything.

>>42756522
Except it's getting a new game. Weird how /mbgg/ never knows what it's talking about.

>>42758488
Will Groovy Mix get a new game too?

>>42758499
It doesn't need to. Your continued butthurt over it is strange.

>>42758507
What butthurt?

Competent bushiroad salesfags should be worrying more about bandori's low sales and upcoming 3D bomb.

>>42758586
Bandori is the highest performing Bushiroad game

>>42758586
Bandori could make 0 bucks and they'd still keep it around for cd sales and concerts. Shit elements garden is so autistic they'd probably pay to keep it alive.

Why do Japanese like to doompost Groovy Mix so much?

>>42758516
>>42759669

This Atelier Tsugai event is very high level

>>42760080
That's nice sweetie, but I don't mean high player level. I mean high level as in good.

Seriously: is Groovy Mix actually in danger? Like is it seriously in danger of dying in the short-term? Or are people just doomposting about it with no backing?

>>42761162
if Bushiroad had any intention of shutting it down they would have done so when it launched with meh sales or after season 1 of the anime

they're not square enix

>>42761197
Then why do people, even the Japanese, claim that it's in trouble?

>>42760010
Why are Japanese butthurt over it?

>>42761197
Does that mean if Engage Kill underperforms it will be dead in a year?

>>42762791
It's expected from Square Enix (and Aniplex and Konami )

It is now proven the market is big enough for both yurige and yuri-correction-ge

>>42763192
Should have had a model viewer or gravure feature to appeal to pantsufags.

>>42763199
Gust / Koei Tecmo censored Blue Reflection Tie so it's consistent with their aversion to male gaze fan service.

Will there ever be non-DMM, non-Chinese mobage for male gaze again?

>>42763210
And Tie ended up underperforming so we know how well that turned out.

I wonder how long the whales are going to stay interested.

>>42763241
You mean Tie didn't underperform because it was too yuri?

>>42763288
It could have underperformed because of both. The non-yurifags were turned off by how much yuri it got, and the fanservicefags were turned off by how the game had less fanservice than the first game. Yurifags might blame Sun failing (if it does) on the male MC, but Idoly Pride has a male MC too (at least the anime did) and it's doing just fine.

>>42763308
Can a game be both for yurifags and fanservicefags?

>>42763428
HBR had a popularity poll recently and the most popular gameplay unit ended up being the swimsuit alt that's not even meta, so it actually have a lot of the male gaze coomers among the fanbase despite being yurige.

I already did all of the story content in BRS. Everything else is just gacha wall.

>>42763465
but HBR boasted that their irl events have over 50% female attendance... are female players coomers, or it is just coomers don't go to events in Japan...?

>>42763473
Spoil us the story please

>>42763485
Female fanbase votes were split while coomers were united through the dick.

>>42763489
Story is a sequel to Second Light, Ao failed and the new world she created still will have everyone die to the ashes.

Leader-kun manages the magical girl squad but he eventually falls in love with one of the girls, and so does she, but it turns out she's a traitor who's trying to get into the world's common to wipe everyone out. Again.

But traitor is tired of doing this so she proposes Leader-kun becomes the Adam to her Eve, gets her (both metaphorically and literally) pregnant, and creates a new world with her for humanity. This is why BRS protagonist had to be male.

This is as far as we know from the story, rest of it is just Leader-kun solving the girls' issues.

Enough doomposting...

How do rythym-game idol mobages work exactly? I've only played autobattler gacha, in which you are encouraged to log in daily and grind to match increasing enemy stats and get roll currency. In a rythym game however, I can't see any way there could be an artifical stat barrier like that. What do these games typically do instead, or I am I getting it all wrong?

>>42767279
Probably neither. The graphics don't look powerful enough to handle upskirts.

>>42767281
Stronger cards = higher score
Most people in these communities have learned to place more emphasis on combos and number of perfects than on score.

>>42767281
>>42767358
to add to this mobage veteran, there are usually also certain separations of player technical scores and whatever scores that get counted in events/pvp.

>>42767281
There's not a stat barrier in terms of "you need to have this card or you physically cannot progress," of course.
But they can come out with new skills that boost points in different ways, resulting in teams that blow the older teams way out of the water.
Not just "same boost but bigger numbers," but also "bigger boost but with specific conditions that you need to plan rest of the team around" and such.
But I'd say the main draw fueling the gacha is "This idol is cute, I want more outfits for her/versions of her/whatever."
Then again, that's my main driving force in pretty much all gacha games.

Any expectations for this when it finally releases?

Yes it is literally the one announced when it was shut down

>>42768520
No, it's not. DeNA isn't involved so it's a completely remade game with a different story and different rhythm gameplay. Managing to relicense the songs and art doesn't magically make it a mobage.

>>42767863
Is it that an idol card will have a base score multiplier on it depending on the rarity, or that each card has specific situations in which the score would be increased? Can you give some examples of that, or link to a wiki page with examples?
I'm asking all this because I'm brainstorming a hypothetical bullet-hell gacha game, and in that genre you can't really change the damage or health to wall people or it wouldn't work. The system used in idol games would fit much better, playing for perfect runs or high scores. Idle game-like gameplay like Nikke would fit as well, with the only daily thing some sort of randomized boss run, but in this case you would re-play the story levels to get higher max scores on them, maybe to accumulate some sort of stage points to unlock new stages. Of course, more of that gives you more passive resource income for enhancing stuff and rolling as well.

>>42769561
Yeah but they don't melee in World Dai Star

>>42770923

>>42771134
There is more to life than fighting

>>42771154
You make it sound like a rhythm game.

>>42771268
what? can you rephrase that

>>42770923
My experience with rhythm gacha is mostly just im@s.
At a base level you've got Score Bonus that stays pretty static, and Combo Bonus that increases as you don't fuck up.
You can only have one of each at a time (usually,) but they're not on all the time. It'll be like "x% chance to activate every y seconds, and lasts for z seconds."
But there's also ones with special conditions on top of that, and skills that affect the other skills.

>Can you give some examples of that, or link to a wiki page with examples?
Depending on how deep you wanna go, a wiki page on skills in Theater Days (fewer skills here, so a bit simpler):
https://project-imas.wiki/THE_iDOLM@STER_Million_Live!_Theater_Days/Skills
And a teambuilding guide for Starlight Stage (mainly the last couple sheets):

Maybe the anime can do something interesting and turn things around, but everything they said and shown about the game so far feels like an another random rhythm game that will get EoS'd because nobody cares.

NTA, but there was that one Kadokawa-backed magical rhythm game that had covers of anime songs from Kadokawa properties. I forgot the name but it had "Onegai" in its name I think. It was dead on arrival for some reason and died in less than a year.

>Is it that an idol card will have a base score multiplier on it depending on the rarity
Rather than the rarity, it's the score stated on the card. The score will be directly proportional to the combined score of the cards you use in your unit.

>and in that genre you can't really change the damage or health to wall people or it wouldn't work.
Why not? The worst that players will have to do is to go through the same patterns the enemy throws at them a little longer, or be a little better at dodging than someone who whaled for a tanky unit. People who can 1cc lunatic should have no problem clearing it with an N rarity unit.

>>42771375
That's pretty much every rhythm game. Skills are mainly divided into three categories:
>score increase, such as by a % of base score or by % of combo count
>judgement strengthening, where the timing window of getting a perfect judgement is increased (as in a note that would normally be judged as great is judged as perfect instead) or sometimes a note that would normally break combo instead keeps combo, usually by giving a good instead)
>life increase. There's a life bar of sorts that depletes whenever you get a bad or miss, and these skills just restore the bar, and in some cases allow for overflow
These are the main skill types but there may be a number of fringe skills that don't fall under any of these types (for example Starlight Stage has a skill that increases the effectiveness of other skills), and not all these skills would necessarily appear in every gacha rhythm game (for example D4DJ doesn't have judgement strengthening skills).

You can also classify them into the number of times each skill procs per song. Games like im@s and Love Live ones proc multiple times per song, then some games proc them only once per song.
