it's true asmongold said it's non-woke certified

Is this game difficult?

>>714613356
you have to spend time and money on women
there's no male horses
also tranime style
bro it's hella woke as fuck....

>>714613092
I'd try it.

>>714613098
I was going to get blue archive, until I saw I needed a third party login. Fuck that shit.

GANBATTE URARA!!!

>Dexerto
Fucking hate that guy

>>714613356
I want to see other horse breeds represented but they'd all be Amazons, Lanklets, or Lolis. And they would all be shit at racing.

>>714612286 (OP)
Didn't play Uma Musume when it was the big new thing in Japan years ago. I'm especially not playing it now that the normalfag western hordes have discovered it. The novelty will eventually wear off and you'lll stop seeing all these ironic weeb morons pretending to care about le epic peak horse game because its trendy.

>>714613687
You don't tho, the game will create an account automatically when you'll play it for the first time. If you have already a mobile account and want to transfer your data over PC then you'll need to log-in/create an acount with their site.

>>714614124
It's like SuikaGame, it'll go away in a couple weeks

When do I train guts?

>>714614124
Also doesn't help its not coomer oriented and the main game mode takes forever (gacha wise). Hopefully the QoL features come soon from the rest of the servers.

Oh my god, it just keeps rising.

>>714614167
I don't have a mobile account, and I don't want one. I just want to play the game through steam. If I can't do that, i won't play it.

Yeah, a lot. Even raised the height of the little horses, this is pedo protection.

>>714614532
But you can, no need to create Nexon's account in the end. At least you'll re-roll more ""fast"".

>>714614434
it doesn't have the three sizes of each horse
if you're wondering doto has the biggest boobs and creek has the biggest ass

>>714614605
Alright. I'll download it now. But if I find out that you have been lying, or stretching the truth. I will come back and write a strongly worded post, with your post number attached.

I'm just glad it's shitting on blue archive by every metric, Blue archive fans are gay and annoying

>>714614756
The game will ask you "play as guest or do you have a Nexou's account?", just pick guest.

>>714614602
Who cares about height/sizes, it's just little info you can find in the wiki anyways.

>>714614830

I like this game because it objectifies women and equates them with dumb horses. That's pretty accurate.

>>714612286 (OP)
This literally isn’t a game. There’s zero interactivity during races. You just watch.

>>714615016
you don't need to reroll anymore but you should always give priority to support cards over trainees. i did one roll for trainees when i started

>>714614831
>still wearing school swimsuits at the beach?
The summer trip is part of school, it's not just the girls going to beach by their own accord, so there are policies to follow.

why is it that I've never seen any super lewd or straight up porn of these horse girls?

>>714613687
It also has kernel access anti cheat but steam doesn't tell you that

>>714613098
Blue archive just failed because they released the game in steam years after the NA server started
that's years of limited events and exclusive collabs lost outright

TM Opera O Factoids (1/2)

>Despite his father being very successful (Opera House was a multiple GI winner from the UK), his bloodline was thought to not be suitable for Japanese courses, so TM Opera O’s price was very cheap - only 10 million yen.
>However, he ended up earning more than 1.8 billion yen.
>His RL Nickname: “End of the century (centurial) overlord” (世紀末覇王). He started his legend at the turn of the century (1999) and all of his major victories were in 2000.
>His triple crown year being unsuccessful marked little interest in him, with the year following being a shock to trainers and fans alike.
>TM Opera O remains as the only horse in history to champion at all of the senior classical races in Japan - and he did that in the same year.
>Her in-game ‘theatre kid’ personality and delusional sense of grandeur were contributed from the fact that TM Opera O’s greatest feats were almost like reading an adventure story.
>TM Opera O’s horse girl design borrows a lot of elements from his jockey Ryuji Wada, who rode the horse from his debut to retirement.
>People like to joke that it was TM Opera O who rode Wada, not the actual way around. It was partially true because there were times TM Opera O moved by himself in races and produced a better result (he knew that the human on his back isn’t trustworthy).
>Wada was often mocked by media outlets as an unworthy jockey for such a powerful horse
>Norihiro Yokoyama: “If it was me on TM Opera O’s back, he would be a Triple Crown horse already”.
>At the time, Wada was still very much a rookie jockey; to have so much success with TM Opera O really surprised him and he credits the horse for teaching him how to jockey.

>>714615118
What's the benefit of doing one ten roll at trainee?
I do want to keep rolling on support for a Super Creek or the green big titty lady.

>>714615156
because the yakuza come after you if you draw the horses in lewd ways

she's so smol

>>714615156
>upload a lewd uma
>get a knock on your door 10 minutes later

>>714615248
that's fine, i just did a ten roll for trainees to have more different careers to play through for now. but if you want to go for support cards only that's probably smarter

>>714615243
(2/2)

>The 2000 Arima Kinen is almost unbelievable with other horses trying to form a wall around him (intentionally) to prevent him from winning. But he somehow left all of them in the dust by finding a different way around.
>It’s said that other jockeys united and planned this scheme ahead of the race, Yutaka Take included (and many fans claimed that he was the mastermind behind this). Since most horses joining the blockade belonged to Shadai, it’s named by fans as “Shadai Blockade”
>Ryuji Wada gave up the idea of winning half-way in the race, but Opera O found his own way out.
>Wada cried after he won the race because he felt he was too incompetent.
>The blockade was again formed in the 2001 Takarazuka Kinen (claimed by some fans to be initiated by Yukio Okabe), and this is probably the reason why he lost to Meisho Doto.
>He retired on the same day as his biggest rival - Meisho Doto. Their retirement ceremonies were held together. In-game, they're shown to be friends.
>Just like Tokai Teio, TM Opera O liked to escape from his ranch. But unlike Tokai Teio, he usually can’t find the way back home.
>Wada loves his fans and is generous with them, like horse girl TM Opera O is with her fans.
>The seven rings on TM Opera O’s fingers represent the seven GI titles she earned.
>His prize ranking ranked 4th among all of the Japanese horses. However, if converted by today’s rate, it would be more than 3 billion yen, which makes him the richest horse in Japanese history.
>Opera could be stubborn. If he felt that he trained enough that day, he would walk back to his stable and refuse to train anymore.
>He would still bite Ryuji Wada, and he threw Wada off onto the concrete floor once.
>He is also the first horse to break the Fall Tenno curse (since 1988, the most favoured horse always failed to win the Fall Tenno-sho. The Silence Suzuka incident was one such case of this curse.)

>>714614831
the longer than average spats are to show which horses are males irl.

>>714615303

Nah bro, I kinda wanna do both, like my brain says Support for Super Creek, but my heart says racing is more fun if you got more horses.

Imma gonna do one ten pull on trainee just like you. Question, who am I suppose to use the 3 star voucher on?

Does anyone like Maruzensky?

>>714612286 (OP)
>Uma is a galge
>none of the horse girls appeal to me
Their designs are too restrained and too similar. The ear autism wouldn't even allow for more hairstyle options. I can recognize the few poster girl horses (but I wouldn't remember the names, because it's a random mishmash of English words), but beyond that - it's all a blur. I can hardly tell a difference between named horses and NPC designs you can encounter in a race.

>>714614756
oh god please don't

>>714614779
You can find this in a lot of japanese games.
It's a no-brainer for them but it can confuse westerners.

Meisho Doto Factoids

>Was dirt cheap by horse sale standard - his owner purchased him with merely 5 million yen. He earned nearly 1 billion yen in return.
>Due to a misunderstanding of language, Meisho would mimic the staff that attended to him and put on an angry face when TM Opera O was mentioned.
>However when Meisho encountered TM Opera O in stables or at races, they were actually incredibly friendly. Making it likely Meisho doesn't actually know what the words TM Opera O refer to.
>Never the less, when visited by TM Opera O's jockey- Ryuji Wada- Meisho became aggressive and delinquent-like.
>It's possible that Meisho believes Wada is the 'TM Opera O' her team hate, and not the horse he rides.
>Despite the timid nature displayed in the anime and game, Meisho was a feared horse during his day. He lost frequently to Opera O, but Only to Opera O. Making him a 'demon' to try to 'over-come' to other jockey's and their steeds.
>He is surprisingly a boss horse, managing to make Taiki Shuttle and Rose Kingdom his lackeys after retirement.
>It also became apparent that Meisho is, according to Japanese fans, a 'dirty old man'. Hungry for mares and the chance to breed with them.
>It's said when introduced to a potential mate in his sire years, he'd stare eagerly.
>He does however possess a softer side. He is fine with being surrounded by lots of goats (while Taiki Shuttle doesn’t like it). He is building a good relationship with farm cat Meto. He allowed a wild raccoon dog to live in his stable during the winter time.

>>714615718
This art is nice, you’re just gay.

>>714615480
First do all the welcome event part 1 missions. You get a random 3 star horse ticket when you do and you don't want to get the same one twice. After that, "your favorite" is genuinely the best choice, but if you really wanna tier whorse it's Oguri Cap, followed by maruzenski and takai shuttle.

>>714612286 (OP)
I thought I'd try it out because it's been such a big deal in nipland for so long
I can't stop

Not tasted picrel. But horse meat is fairly common in Norway, and it's tasty.

>>714615523
Generally speaking the conversation regarding the 'bests of all time' tends to only include the horses who successfully claimed the Triple Crown. Personally however I feel like TM championing all the classical races in a single year- Not to mention doing so when other jockeys were collaborating to stop him- Should really be accomplishment enough for him to be in that discussion. The Overlord of Century's End was a monster and should be appreciated as such. Even if Ryuji Wada was a total shitter.

>>714612286 (OP)
Imagine how western shareholders and investors must feel when they chase the latest trend hoping to be the next big success and they find out a game where you race horses that look like anime women is extremely popular

>>714615632
The 3D doesn't help their designs and that's a running issue on various gachas and vidya. Nothing against 3D for me but I hear it has very much to do with 3D tracking and in some cases a "look" the chinese are looking for. Which is why so many post-genshin gachas blend together.

But this was by the Japanese for the Japanese.

>>714616108
It's this, but slightly more professionally drawn

and even american horse racing people can see the appeal, as Uma Musume just did a Kentucky Derby sponsorship recently.

>>714616276
I'm playing horse and persona, you eventually just daily log for persona once you finish the current story which is why numbers are kind of flatlining. Also uma is actually getting viral traction with streamers.

>>714616215
They really don't care as long as it brings more money and awareness in.

horses smell like shit

>>714616128
It's best to play now since everyone's still figuring out the meta.

>>714616363
nah, surprise me

>>714616280
The game is insanely grindy and I can't see many people putting up with it for too long, there will be a massive drop in players once the honeymoon phase is over.

Question for the luddites ITT. Do cards level up on their own or do you have to manually upgrade them? Thinking of just spending money to upgrade all SSRs I got to max level but not sure if I'm gonna regret that later on.

They'll very slowly level up when used in training, but it's much faster and intended to level them up manually.
You'll be tight on resources early on, but it levels out pretty quickly.

i fully uncapped an R support, how useful is she now? should i use her over a base SR?

>>714616232
Non-Genshin Chinese gachas seem to doing fine in terms of character design though. AK have Endfield coming out, and it translates the designs to 3D pretty well. Hell, even Mihoyo's ZZZ has a diverse lineup, not the clone wars shit like GI and HSR have. Dunno much about WuWa. I just know the giant girl they've been spamming recently, but the idea is interesting.

She just says trainer like everyone else.

>>714616597
how do you do it? level them up to say, level 29 or level 25? or you dont level them up?

>>714616435
Eating horses is legal in the states, and its currently illegal to slaughter them commercially and majority of the population sees them as pets (comparable to dogs and cats). You can slaughter a horse you own for the purposes of consumption.

They serve horse meat in Canada. I know they slaughter horses in Mexico but never heard of anyone eating it, they usually just ship it out to Iceland or Europe.

>>714616735
Why is she beatboxing?

>>714616490
They level extremely slowly if you use them in a run.
If they're already capped, you get some bonus support points at the end of the run. In general it's best to just level them manually so you can win easier since you'll make the cost back.

i've given up on rudolf. mihono bourbon is my favorite horse now, even though i don't understand how her unique ability works.

>>714616254
Yeah but when you start you have a lot of content until you hit the wall

>>714616768
thanks

>>714616208
I mean if he was that bad they'd have just replaced him, it's not like his horse even liked him, Opera treated him like his bitch and beat him up

>>714616551
It depends on your horse's position dummy
But generally the longer the race the more stamina you need.
Power is for breaking through.

>>714615693
Why?
Nobody playing horse girl gacha would be against Christmas or being called Master

Nishino Flower Factoids

>Her design is meant to make her look small as the real filly was really small, which made training stables refuse to take her in at first.
>One trainer, Masahiro Matsuda, looked at her and was hesitant. When recalling the first time he saw Nishino Flower, he said she was “all legs and no width, like Bambi” and that “her own sneeze could knock her over”. But he had a gut feeling about her and took her into his stable.
>She had a bad temper and did not get along with humans. She lost many races due to not obeying the jockey's commands.
>Nishino Flower had 11 children who were all pretty successful.
>There are scenarios where she interacts with Seiun Sky, Agnes Tachyon and Taiki Shuttle. This is because she mated with all of them in real life.
>Seiun Sky, however, was considered her 'true love'.
>Notably Nishino Daisy (their off-spring) won the 2022 Nakayama Daishogai, making him the first descendant of Seiun Sky to win a GI. He beat the strong 9 JGI winner Oju Chosan.
>Some scenario's will jokingly have Taiki Shuttle 'stealing' Nishino away from Seiun to play into this history
>She was buried beside Seiun Sky’s grave after she passed away.
>Nishino Flower is regarded by Nishiyama as the saviour of the farm. The horse’s excellent performance earned enough prize money to save the farm from the verge of bankruptcy. Her epitaph says: “From a genius girl to a great mother, we are showing our gratitude here to the famous mare that saved Nishiyama Farm.”

where's the porn

>>714617180
Yakuza won't allow it

>>714617180
Uma Porn is illegal because they're all real horses.

>>714617180
they intentionally keep things PG because they're based on real horses and need the owners' approval to portray them in the anime. Doesn't really lend itself to making porn of it. The devs actively request the fandom not to make excessively lewd content of them either

Nice Nature Factoids (1/2)

>His nickname is “Mr. Number 3” and “Bronze Collector”, for usually finishing in third in races (especially Arima Kinen).
>That’s why she has a special speech if she ever finishes in third in the game. And also why her nickname requires you to finish third in three GI races and to earn 320,000 fans
>Nice Nature is one of the three horses that made to the JRA fan voting “Top 100 20th century dream horse” lists that had never won a GI title (he ranked in 71st).
>Among all of the horses that had never won a GI title in Japan, Nice Nature won the most prize money. (Till Deep Bond showed up at least).
>Has a leg belt on her left leg, because her IRL counterpart has an injury on his left leg too.
>Had a very strong relationship with his trainer and stablekeeper, Baba Hideki.
>Many fans think that the trainer of Team Canopus, Minamisaka, is based on Baba Hideki.
>When Nice Nature was being selfish due to temperament issues, Baba did not get angry with him and was patient. Eventually, this soothed Nice Nature and he would walk behind Baba without any reins.
>Eventually, it got to the point that Nice Nature could walk behind him without a tug.

So retired horses don't get immediately murdered? Does it get ridden by little girls or something?

>>714617003
Just racing heavily and some SoL. The school portion is barely acknowledged. And the girls do barely anything besides racing sport wise, even though there's some implication they do some other track sports too like baton passing on the side. Oh and the Idol part of the game is like 1% of it if you don't like it.

The gameplay is a rogue-lite dating and raising sim where you grind stats and watch them race.

This is just women's track and field.

Nice Nature Factoids (2/2)

>On race days or even when just training, if Baba was not with him, he wouldn’t approach the gate or begin exercise. Shigeru Inagaki commented that, “It is very rare for a horse and a person to have that much trust in each other.”
>Before the week of a race, Baba would mix pit viper powder into Nice Nature’s feed. Pit viper powder costs 15,000 yen per serving but Baba paid for them out of his own pockets.
>This is referenced in the game. If you put Nice Nature in the main screen, she would say she wants to order viper powder from the TV shopping channel.
>Upon discovering the leg injury that would cause Nice Nature to retire, and despite it being so small that it would be okay for him to race in the Arima Kinen to create the record, Baba pleaded to Yoshiharu Matsunaga to let Nice Nature retire with tears in his eyes. Trainer Matsunaga replied: “If it’s a request from you (Baba), the man who knows Nice Nature the most in this world, then I have to comply.”
>The reason why Baba grew very concerned was because he saw what happened to Rice Shower in the 1995 Takarazuka Kinen.
>Baba liked to interact with Nice Nature’s and his own fans. He would decorate Nice Nature’s stable with the paper cranes he received and would casually hand out masks and bibs to fans.
>He was the most visited horse at Ritto Training Center at the time.
>Nice Nature has long served as the model horse to promote welfare programs for retired horses. Every year on his birthday, there’s a crowdfunding to gather money to help the retired horses. Usually it gathers about a million yen. However, the popularity of Uma Musume boosted that money significantly. His 2021 crowdfunding gathered near 36 million yen,

Get sent to Mexico or Canada if losers. Some people might "rescue" them and use them for other purposes but Thoroughbreds are hyper specialized and suck at anything else besides racing.

Wits and Stamina mostly
If you're upfront you don't need much power, so Wits activating more skills will help more if you have enough stamina already

Do you guys ever stop to think about how evil the idol part of uma musume is?
Imagine you're training your whole career for this single race, the day comes, you're at your peak, but something happens while you're on the track and you end up losing. It feels surreal, there are tears streaming down your face and distorting your vision but you don't even feel it, for all you know your life ended on that finish line. Then you hobble towards the changing room, get dressed, and you're forced to come on a stage to sing and dance next to the bitch who just minutes ago stole your dream right before your eyes, in front of an audience of tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of people. Even worse, you may just be relocated to serve as background for her, while she gets to shine in the spotlight.
It makes sense why they're playback singing and everyone besides the top 3 is usually hidden away in the shadow.

I posted this before but no one responded so I guess no one cares? But at my last job I bicycled past a horse stable. One day I saw a stallion pissing. It genuinely mesmerized me. The stream did not look like water. It was like a solid yellow tube. For like 5 seconds glancing to the right while bicycling, I didn't really understand what I was looking at. Did the horse have some kind of medical tube attached to its penis? But no, they just piss really fucking hard.

to be fair, eating horses literally saved Napoleons army during extended campaigns. horse broth was used in the first concept of nutrition for troops by his famous battlefield surgeon Dominique Jean Larrey. so its not surprising it became popular there

>>714617725
What are you trying to clear? If you're just trying to get shit done, pick Bakushin or Haru, put them in the Front Runner position (don't worry about the rank), grab as many speed cards you can get and spam nothing but speed training. Then level up any skills that make you even faster, just be careful to be compatible with the type of race or position you're doing.

Agnes Tachyon Factoids (1/2)

>Four Races Run Against The Strongest Peers.
>Four Races Won In Complete And Utter Dominance.
>After winning the Satsuki-Sho IRL, Agnes Tachyon developed a bowed tendon, causing him to retire.
>Became known as the 'phantasm triple crown winner', a horse believed to have had the potential to have taken the triple crown if they didn't become injured.
>Fuji Kiseki, who shares this nickname, had some debate on whether or not they could truly achieve this due to existing rivals at the time.
>Agnes Tachyon did not, for none amongst the track could be called their rival.
>After his initial performances, many trainers feared competing against Tachyon due to his strength. Thus the movie portraying them as a mind-breaking intimidating figure.
>Jungle Pocket's belief that their victories are fraudulent due to Tachyon's absence in the movie reflects the real life press coverage of the time. Horses who found victory in high profile races were disregarded with messages such as 'But were Tachyon present...'
>According to the first volume of the artbook, her four zippers represent Agnes Tachyon’s four wins in four starts.

So what's even the gameplay? You pick a horse and watch it race?

Agnes Tachyon Factoids (2/2)

>This fragileness was inherited by his children too. While many of his children had excellent speed and could win some big races, they developed injuries early in their career and were forced to retire.
>IRL Fans joked Agnes set a “Pokion-timer” to his children, making them easily susceptible to breaking their legs (‘Poki’ is the sound of a bone breaking).
>Agnes Tachyon is the father of Daiwa Scarlet. Thus their relationship in-game.
>He gets extremely noisy when meal time is approaching, desperately trying to get people’s attention for providing food. (This occurs in game too.)
>He also hates to be left alone, and would cry for someone to accompany him.
>One of Swimsuit Tachyon’s upgraded skills is called “Dazzling Luxon”. This makes reference to Luxon, a Kyushu-region horse whose damsire is Agnes Tachyon (her father is Eishin Flash, by the way). She was one of Kyushu’s finest horses up until her untimely death.
>'Tachyon' refers to a theoretical particle that moves beyond the speed of light. This is where their science gimmick comes from.

I've had a steak of horse meat before. It tasted pretty decent, but definitely felt like it occupied the same sort of culinary niche as a leaner cut of beef.

Nah that's one of their more common purposes but only after heavy training. You kind of don't want to put a little girl on a horse that wants to sprint with a light nudge, much less a little girl who is just kicking her legs everywhere.

You pick a horse and train it by selecting which stats to improve, then the horse participates in races. Throw VN style scenes in the middle and random events that might affect your stats and skills in the middle of that, with each horse having its own unique story.
Also you pick Support Cards at the start of the career which determine which grant you different benefits and have their own VN scenes with dialogue options to get different rewards.

That's the idea with most commercial meat, to avoid that. It's the reason why people people talk about meat they get from hunting or when they visit 3rd world countries because it's the same idea although they don't know why.

You are putting her on the wrong strategy most likely. Or she's getting trapped in the mass of horses in the middle and can't get out due to a lack of power or skills to get out

>>714618662

>Undefeated god-tier horse in real life

You would think they would give her 3* for all that

So I got fine motion and super creek using only 2 of the free 10 rolls and the random SSR support card draw.
So why isn't pulling horses important? Do you just get so many and the game is so Career focused that why bother over specific horses when you can't go through a Career with it again? Or is the game more PvP focused with the Veteran horses?

Italy also breeds horses for the purpose of the consumption, although it's relatively niche and most is imported.

Daitaku Helios, the Gyaru Honse, Factoids

>Smiles in every single race. He received the nickname “smiling horse” or “dumb horse” because of this.
>In the game, she smiles no matter which place she ends up finishing in a race.
>Fans think he can read the news. Every time he is favored in a race, he loses; when he is not favored, he wins.
>This contributes to her gyaru personality because gyarus love to stay trendy.
>Formed the “baka escaping duo” with Mejiro Palmer. If they join a race together, they are always the one leading. However, since Daitaku Helios is essentially a mile racer, he usually drops out first.
>They were the ringleaders of the 1992 Arima Kinen or, as fans call it, the “BakArima Kinen”.
>He seems to look attractive to fillies and mares, but it somehow does not work on Daiichi Ruby. The contrast between him and Daiichi Ruby is huge (from appearance, pedigree to personalities. Daiichi Ruby came from GI winning parents while Daitaku Helios’s were the opposite. So she’s usually portrayed as an ojou-sama and he’s a country bumpkin), so they became a very popular pair for horse racing fans to ship through various means. In reality, they never mated.
>He usually ran well whenever Daiichi Ruby raced, which added to the shipping fuel.
>They have their own popular fan comic too, HeliosRuby: A Love Story, in Umanari Ichi Furlong Theatre.
>In the world of Uma Musume, Daitaku Helios fell head over heels for Daiichi Ruby upon first meeting her, calls her ‘her type’ and asks for her to become her “schmoopy-poo”
>This leaves her tragically ignorant of the fact that Mejiro Palmer is in love with her
>Once acted dead and scared the shit out of his grooms.
>In the world of Uma Musume, she sometimes does this to freak friends and trainers out.
>In her hall conversation, she mentions that she has a “crazy aunt” named “Ya-chan”, this refers to Kaburaya O, the horse’s actual uncle, nicknamed “the insane runner”.

>>714617932
It depends really on the place and the horse's own temperament.
Ones that people learn to ride on are usually older and pretty mellow horses that won't easily spook or freak the fuck out on the learner.

Mejiro Palmer, the Gyaru Friend, Factoids

>Name origin: Mejiro (clan name) + Palmer (from American professional golf player Arnold Daniel Palmer.)
>This is the reason why she is very good at playing golf in the world of Uma Musume
>While being portrayed as a child from Mejiro’s distant branch in the anime and the game, the horse is actually from Mejiro’s main parent ranch (while McQueen is from the subsidiary ranch).
>But he was not expected to run well, so no one from the Mejiro Clan paid much attention to him.
>When he won the 1992 Takarazuka Kinen, no one from the clan and the team showed up in the winning ceremony except his groom.
>They were planning to send both McQueen and Palmer to the race but when the former fractured his leg, Miya Kitano had to cancel the tour that they were going to take him on and thus Palmer was the only one sent to the race.
>Shared the same trainer with Narita Brian, Narita Taishin, and Silk Justice.
>She has a hallway conversation with the former two for that very reason.
>The horse is always way too energetic, once headbutting the fence and causing serious nosebleeds. He also gets excited every time he sees a mare (and he would lose weight because of it).
>He is the only Japanese horse that came back to flat from jump races, and could still win a GI.
>Her father is a journalist, and her mother is a picture book writer.
>This is because IRL Palmer’s father, Mejiro Eagle, won Kyoto Shimbun Hai (a race sponsored by Kyoto News Press). Palmer’s mother is Mejiro “Fantasy”, so it’s related to picture books.
>In her ending, she received a racing car as a gift, and she named the car “Palmer”.
>A reference to Palmer’s jockey, Taisei Yamada. After he won Palmer the first GI, he received a car as a gift, and he also named it “Palmer”.
>Had a long relationship with Daitaku Helios which made it's way into the game and anime.

>An ojou-sama from the “splendid clan”. The splendid clan were all descendants of a British mare named Mairie, who was introduced to Japan in 1957. The Hagino clan won a lot of GI level titles in the 70s and early 80s.
>Daiichi Ruby’s mother is Hagino Top Lady, the Oka-Sho and QEII Cup winner.
>Her father is the famous “heavenly horse” - Tosho Boy, one member of the infamous TTG trio and multi GI level title winner. Tosho Boy was famous for siring excellent racers such as Mr. C.B.
>Daiichi Ruby was already attracting a lot of attention before her debut, because her sale price was 100 million yen, which was huge at her time.
>Even though Daiichi Ruby was born with a crooked leg, she showed strong competitiveness in races. Her main jockey Kawachi Hiroshi praised her to be the strongest racer for any race under 1600m at the time.
>The reason why the shoes for her left foot and right foot are different in size is because the real horse has very uneven hoof shapes and sizes - to the point that no trainer wanted to accept the horse at first.
>She is the first filly to win two GI titles in mixed races (after 1984 when races were graded, that is), she also broke the fillies’ prize record after she won her second GI at the 1991 Sprinters Stakes.
>But after K.S. Miracle’s death during that race, she could not win. Fans speculated that she missed him.
>This affection is seen in Uma Musume as well
>Was known to have a foul temper, which is a big contrast to her rival Daitaku Helios, who was tame (but weird).
>As mentioned in the Helios post, she was heavily shipped IRL with Daitaku. Though nothing ever came of it.
>Many horses retire due to injury or threat of it.
>Ruby retired because she turned into a gooner.
>She started experiencing heavy bouts of estrus, and at the time it was especially difficult to deal with it. This heavily effected her racing, leading to her retirement.

I won my first my first Ura finals final using vodka.

K.S. Miracle, the Gyaru Appreciator, Factoids

>He is currently the shortest lived horse that was adapted into a horse girl. He lived for 1,369 days (compared to Aston Machan, who lived for 1,508 days, and Rhein Kraft who lived 1,598 days).
>K.S. Miracle caught Japanese encephalitis when he was born, and had a serious leg problem before debut, but he conquered all of these life threatening illnesses. This also happens in horse girl K.S. Miracle’s past and because of her gratitude to everyone who took care of her, she wants to succeed in racing.
>He broke the record of three races. In the 1991 Swan Stakes, not only did he break the record time, he also defeated Daitaku Helios, Daiichi Ruby, and Bamboo Memory all at once.
>He eventually met his tragic end after suffering a comminuted fracture at the 1991 Sprinters Stakes, and was euthanized.
>He was also the most popular horse in the race as well.
>The injury was on his left hind leg, indicated by a yellow belt on her left leg in her race outfit.
>Footage of this scene was especially tragic. The crowd were hushed into a silence and K.S. Miracle was stumbling around in pain. Very unfortunate moment in the sport.
>Even more tragic: it hadn’t even been a month since his first heavy prize win.
>The real life horse was quite popular with female fans, which seems to have translated into the fandom of Uma Musume. A day after she was released (as a support card), she became extremely popular among yumejoshi communities.
>Daiichi Ruby seems to have a crush on them in the game, which is a reference to the IRL speculation that Ruby's lacking performance in later years was due to grief over Miracle's end.
>The complicated love quartet of Uma: Ruby loves Miracle, Miracle loves Helios, Helios loves Ruby. Palmer loves Helios, but no one loves Palmer (aw).

They eat a lot, cleaning up after them is a lot of work, you need a pretty large amount of land so they can run and derp around without getting depressed, they can pretty easily injure themselves or get sick so you always need to have a minimum of few thousand dollarydoos for vet calls

>>714619229
I seriously doubt the horse girls outright buy the horses they ride, it's probably some kind of club renting system. I have known horse girls and they were not rich cunts.

>>714619272
The characters are only liked due to being hot for the most part. Most of them are tamer versions of the characters they take influence from to make them more palatable to waifufags.
Yeah, a few of them are genuinely funny to see in action but they're swimming among a sea of utterly forgettable characters stealing them screentime, in a plot and setting that feels like a lot of random ideas thrown at the wall.

Maintenance is generally much more expensive then the price of buying a horse in the US outside high end sport horses. It's not uncommon for people to try and give them away for free or abandon in some area, especially in Arizona, Nevada, or any of the Reservations. it use to be $300-500 a month to maintain a horse without free property/grass in 2012. I imagine its more expensive then that now.

And I will confirm that men get pushed out of horse industry because of the women. As women got more and more involved in horses, the more drama there is. Almost all high end horse trainers and riders are still guys though. And all the real cowboys (the ones that actually do work with cattle) are still guys too.

>Always went on a rampage when he is about to take an injection from vets due to a fear of needles.

>He made the JRA record of winning eight heavy prize races straight - tied with TM Opera O.
>Taiki Shuttle is the first short distance horse to win JRA horse of the year.

Taiki Shuttle (2/2)

>After Norihiro Yokoyama jockeyed Taiki Shuttle (because Shuttle’s usual jockey Yukio Okabe had to jockey Shinko King due to latter horse’s temper issues) and won the 1997 Mile Championship, he complained to Okabe: “It’s so unfair Okabe-san, how can you possess this horse? With a horse as strong as this, you can win as many races as you want”. Okabe tossed it back and said: “Nah, if it’s you jockeying the horse from the start, he isn’t going to become this strong.”
>Originally, Taiki Shuttle wasn’t going to run in the 1998 Sprinters Stakes, but JRA wanted him to run the race and win, to have a glorious retirement on the same day.
>Taiki Shuttle showed a rare rebellious attitude before running the race, oddly enough.
>He eventually lost the race, and the title was taken by Meiner Love. It was the first GI title obtained by the Meiner Clan.
>However, JRA already made the video for Taiki Shuttle’s retirement, which showed that Taiki won the 1998 Sprinters Stakes. They never thought he could lose, so it was already too late to make the change.
>So at Taiki Shuttle’s retirement ceremony - the big TV screen shows Taiki Shuttle has a race title he didn’t win in front of tens of thousands of audiences.
>Taiki Shuttle actually has fragile hoofs, so his team needed to constantly monitor his hoof condition.
>Became stablemates and good friends IRL with Meisho Doto (Rival of TM Opera O) after their retirement.
>They get along quite well in-game

Yostar handles JP while Nexon handles global but they said they are working on getting a JP client because they rightfully kind of started a shitstorm for not being able to play on the pc client.

No seriously, how DID Uma blow in popularity like this? We literally just had an anime that didn't that much attention.
Or maybe it did, I was seeing that shitpost comparing its animation being leagues above Blue Lock and whatever seasonal isekai people were hyping up that had no budget

>>714620064
The counterargument is that tons of gacha games do bunny outfits, or swimsuits or whatever other bullshit rationalization you'd use as a strawman argument.

You will literally say anything to justify shitting on the game even if it is hypocritical or applies to the genre as a whole. It's dishonest just like your entire existence but that goes with being a woman/tranny/faggot.

You should still go heavy rolling for supports at some on though so you can get MLB SRs which will greatly increase the strength of your deck, way more than slotting in random 0-2LB SSRs.

Super Creek Factoids

>Name origin: Super Creek was actually born with a defect: his left foreleg turned outward. Nobody bought him in auctions so the owner of the farm that bred him asked his friend to buy him. The reasoning behind the name: “He’s a small creek now but I hope he becomes a big river in the future”.
>In-Game Motherly personality comes from how the horse ‘nurtured’ Yutaka Take towards his first GI win (and the record for youngest jockey to win a GI, at 19 years old). Super Creek facilitated his growth into a genius jockey.
>Take said: “This is the first horse I fell in love with, and I won’t give him to anyone.” He even talked to the horse with baby talk, like how a parent talks to a child.
>He was also nicknamed “Take Yutaka’s wife” at the time.
>Super Creek was also a very calm horse, one of the calmest stallions that his breeding farm’s owner had ever seen.
>Super Creek was more of a heel character during his time. When he beat Oguri Cap in 1989 Fall Tenno, Take received a lot of harassment letters from haters. So for a period of time, Take hated Oguri Cap a lot.
>He won’t eat carrots unless they're sliced in equal pieces.
>If other horses try to pick a fight with him, he'd fight back without hesitation.
>Usually it’s always the jockey who picks and chooses the horse they are going to ride. But when Take Yutaka visited Ito training stable before the 1988 Kikka-Sho to pick his partner, Super Creek bit Take’s sleeves and didn't let him go, like the horse was picking Take to jockey him. This is why Super Creek is the one to choose you as trainer and not the other way around.

In horses, there can be a system of who does what. I'll explain thoroughbreds (race horses that all the umas are, there's other race horse breeds) real quick.

Owner: Actually bought and owns the horse. Usually rich. Sometimes can have multiple sponosors or owners, especially when the Arabs get involved.
Trainer: Trains the horse and may ride it some of the time for purposes of training. may also be the groom. Almost never rides the horse for races because usually too big.
Jockey/Rider: Actually rides the horse. Ultra manlets. Not uncommon seeing from various countries. Very good at hanging on and not getting themselves killed.
Groom: Takes care of the horse, mostly around them all day. Almost never rides period.

On the lower end of things but still seen in sporting or competition, its very common for the Owner to be the Rider and to have a trainer and nothing else.

Yeah, and BA is one of the many gachas that get attention mainly due to that. Just like Azur Lane, it doesn't have an actually enjoyable story or setting though and the vast majority of characters are pretty unremarkable.
My point was never "BA is the only/one of the few gacha that rely on sex-appeal" but that it doesn't have a lot more besides that.

Take's pretty much rode every major horse in this game at least once. He's got 23 years straight with a G1 win in every year. I think he even mounted Urara once. He's Japan's most prolific jockey. So chances are he's gooning to most of the characters in this game period.

The story, setting and characters are literally the reason why it is so popular with otaku and art. If it weren't for those things then it would have crashed and burned years ago with how mediocre the gameplay elements are.

Oguri Cap Factoids (1/???)

>Probably one of the most beloved horses ever and was the center figure of the second Japanese horse racing boom (the first boom was caused by Haiseiko). At that time, even if someone wasn’t even interested in horse racing, they would know who Oguri Cap was.
>Mostly because he had such a dramatic life; his underdog to victory story, going from local to central, when he couldn’t run in the classic races and everyone wanted him to, being very powerful, his own racing abilities, his battles with horses like Tamamo Cross, Inari One, Super Creek, etc. His 1990 Arima Kinen win also goes down in history as one of the best races ever.
>He and Tamamo Cross broke the stereotype that grey horses were unable to win, which was a wide belief around their time in Japan.
>Oguri Cap is not picky on food; not only does he eat a lot more than other horses, he also eats twice as fast as regular horses. You all probably recognize this from the anime.
>He loves garlic miso.
>He once got so hungry as a baby, he started to eat the straw from his own stable.
>He can digest some foods that other horses can’t.
>He likes to roll around after having a training session.
>Oguri Cap is a terrible swimmer. Witnesses said he “swims so slowly, like he’s about to drown”. She actually almost drowned in Cinderella Gray's manga.
>He had three retirement ceremonies, one in Kyoto, one in Tokyo and one in his original home of Kasamatsu. 40,000 people attended the Kasamatsu one, which surpassed the town’s population of 23,000 at the time.
>Oguri Cap was the first Japanese horse to have plushies. JRA designed them to meet the demand from newly attracted female fans: which was an extreme minority before the Oguri Cap boom.
>These female fans were called “Oguri Gals” and began to rise more as racehorse fangirls over time. In Cinderella Gray, Norn Ace becomes one.
Oguri Cap’s plushies can be seen in her first Power SSR card.

>>714620854
Nah, remove the fanservice and no one would care.
Literally the game only started getting attention due to the sexier designs and most of its fan content is NSFW.

>>714621038
Oguri Cap (2/???)

>In her non-GI winning pose and in Cinderella Gray (before the Pegasus Stakes), she trembles out of energy. This is a reference to him trembling in preparation for a race, like he was a warrior going out to battle. The in-game scenario “Warrior’s Tremble”, which gives an extra stat boost to a horse girl before a race, is also a reference to this.
>Oguri Cap has great battle instinct, he knows who his biggest rival is (this is shown at 1988 Arima Kinen, Oguri Cap only paid attention to Tamamo Cross).
>Oguri Cap runs with his head lower, making his whole body almost horizontal to the ground, which gives him extra thrust power and reduces aero drag (like how motorcyclists and skiers will do the same). His hooves also dig deep into the ground when running. His running style is emphasised a lot in Cinderella Gray, but unfortunately not in the game.
>Jockey Minai Katsumi compared Oguri Cap with Narita Brian (whom he won the Triple Crown with): “Both horses are powerful and have a very similar way of accelerating.”
>Oguri Cap usually starts running with his right leg first, which makes him run better at clockwise courses.
>He is also very calm, and you never see him go berserk in a race. He is not easily affected by crowd cheers and yellings.
>Oguri Cap is very serious about race, so he doesn’t know when to relax. His jockey has to assist him.
>Oguri Cap has a lower heart rate than regular horses, so he can keep his condition for longer. His heart is also larger.

>stats way above everyone else
>10+ skills
>200k+ fans

>Compare say KC (which also has plenty of fanservice) or Fate to it and you'll see lots and lots of fanworks that don't rely on anything lewd getting attention and exploring the characters under different lights than "uoooh I wanna fuck this girl"
That made me remind when someone made a graph (I don't remember where) comparing the proportion of SFW and NSFW works for each otaku franchise, and Blue Archive had a high percentage toward NSFW. Hell I think it's the highest too.

>>714620729
They have different activation requirements, with different powerlevels.

>>714620963

Oguri Cap (3/???)

>Was said to be in love (or at least attracted to) a New Zealand filly named Horlicks. Horlicks came to Japan in 1989 to contest in the Japan Cup, which she then won.
>Because Oguri was a glutton, trainers and other staff said that he never looked up from his trough of food no matter what. However, whenever Horlicks passed by, he seemed glued to her presence and would keep staring at her. When he couldn’t see her anymore, he went right back to looking at his food.
>In the 1989 Japan Cup, he wouldn’t stop looking at her in the paddocks. They were even placed next to each other in the gate. When the race started, Oguri made a mad dash for Horlicks and was right behind her the entire race.
>Horlicks broke the 2400m course world record in that race - by two seconds.
>This also made Horlicks the only foreign horse to ever be featured in JRA’s commercials (JRA’s The Winner commercial for the 2012 Japan Cup).
>Two mating requests were made by Oguri Cap’s team to Horlicks’s team after retirement but both were turned down. (No waifu for Oguri)
>Before moving to central racing from Kasamatsu, Oguri got his hooves filed and corrected. When he came to central, he loved having his hooves trimmed.

>>714621227

Oguri Cap (Final)

>Her headband is based on the pattern from his jockey silks, and her race outfit is based on the colours used when he went into central racing.
>For some time, Take Yutaka hated Oguri Cap because he and his horse Super Creek were treated as “heels” by Oguri fans, and Take received a lot of hate / harassment letters.
>Before Take had to ride Oguri Cap at the 1990 Arima Kinen, it’s said he yelled to Oguri Cap, who was at his deepest slump at the time: “Snap out of it! You were the one who made me look like a villain, why can’t you again show what you are capable of?”
>After the 1990 Arima Kinen, Take admitted that Oguri Cap is a really amazing horse.
>The fan cheer for Oguri Cap’s 1990 Arima Kinen victory was so loud that it could even be heard from several kilometres away.
>After Oguri Cap retired, he moved to a stallion station in Niikappu Town, Hokkaido. Many fans went to visit him. On May 5, 1991, which was during the golden week holidays, 6,000 fans visited Oguri Cap. This number is equal to the population of Niikappu Town at the time.
>However, Oguri Cap’s stallion record was poor. His sire line is now almost extinct in Japan.
>This is also the case for some other great horses in his generation, such as Super Creek and Inari One.
>Oguri Cap also returned to Kasamatsu each year to attend the race “Oguri Cap Kinen” as a surprise guest.

expect uma to fall off a little once the streamers get bored/people discover the boring ass gacha elements and p5x to continue flying under the radar

Japan lost. Genshin is still the king.

Okay Hank Hill, Chill out. It's just a game with cute Horse girls.

The roguelite gameplay loop is what people are getting hooked on, I don't know where this retard "hurr durr nobody actually play da game" narrative comes from

Doto when?

>>714622052
the first 4 are the prologue, it explains how (You) became their trainer and goes into depth on their dreams. The others unlock as you bond with the horse, but I haven't gone in depth into them yet.

>>714622112
It's actually very common in gacha communities for people to not actually play the game but sit in the community for shipping and the likes, especially the female side of the playerbases. It's why the term "tourist" gets thrown around so much in these spheres.

>>714621767
Suzuka wasn't exactly an undefeated horse, it had L's. Nor was it one of those rare 'epic results no matter the distance' horses. But it had a very specific type of course it went incredibly hard on and the way it would win was always incredibly flashy and admirable. The 'spectacle' is part of what made Suzuka brilliant. I do feel as though it wouldn't be remembered quite so fondly if it never had 'the incident', probably another famed horse but not the legendary one it is right now. It'd definitely never be viewed on the same page as the likes of Symboli Rudolf, for instance. As to the crux of your question though, it depends what you mean by 'everything'.

i never realized how stacked winning ticket was until i saw her racing clothes

HORSE PUSSY

I can't believe how much i care about this stupid shit

it's fucking impossible to google anything about this game. what's tp and rp and do i use/replenish them?

>>714622264
doto had a hard life

>>714622281
tp is used to start a new career for a trainee, rp is for team battles

>>714622281
tp is what you use to start a career run, you can refill it by clicking the plus button next to it. you get tons of recovery items for that. rp is for the pvp mode, it fills up by itself

>>714622281
TP is for career, you wont run out unless you are speedrunning fails for sparks. RP is for PvP. Both replenish over time.

>>714622281
Basically what the other people said.
But apparently there's also more uses for TP in the future, like you can use more TP in a single career to get at chance at rerolling rewards or something like that?

cheers lads. half the time I google the name of the game + a word I see in the game that I definitely blasted past in the tutorial I just get the most random fucking results. was getting results earlier for the free masons reddit page fs.

>>714621763
Legally Distinct Horlicks would probably be NPC only. Actual Horlicks would require getting permissions which I don't see happening any time soon.

>Urara is still alive
If you think about it, she won at life.

Umamusume is even more region locked. Asian countries, some European countries and most of the turd world aren't allowed to play on the American servers.

>>714622545
is she the only living umamusume?

Is "The Danger Zone" Mayano Top Gun herself and the fact that she wants to fuck the trainer the most out of all the horses?

I can't win with anyone that isn't a sprinter/miler

bakeks...

>>714622651
No, there's a few still alive. I don't think there's any in-game who are still racing though. They wait till they're retired if nothing else.

>>714622651
nah, scarlet is still alive too for example

Mayano Top Gun Factoids

>Named after the movie 'Top Gun'
>Notably during the recent press tour for Top Gun Maverick, Mayano's voice actress got to meet Tom Cruise due to this. Irrelevant, but funny.
>His groom and stable workers called him by the nickname “Gun-chan”.
>The horse is quite moody, childish, and would refuse to do anything he absolutely doesn’t like. Including in races.
>He had a late debut due to developing osteoid osteoma, and could only run on dirt at first because it was less stressful (that’s why she gets many free turns in her scenario before the first goal race, Kikka-Sho).
>Her habit of throwing kisses up towards her fans is a reference to what his jockey would do during races.
>Gun-Chan would often decide how to run based on mood alone, leaving their jockey to just have to put up with it.
>Gun-Chan had won races with all four different running styles. (This is very impressive.)
>They loved to rub their head against grooms’ bodies. Very affectionate in this regard, with humans at least.
>With horses though? Gun-Chan was picky. Often refusing to mate with mares that didn't match his 'standards', but overly-eager with those that did. Apparently became far less stressed when they gave up on trying to make him a competitive mate sire.
>Gun-Chan also hates vets. He would run away if he spotted a vet from afar, and it would take a lot of time for the grooms to catch him.
>He eats the things he likes first, leaves the things he doesn't like to the last.

Gold Ship is alive I believe.

>>714622798
heh, you can really tell how they made her in game personality from the horse being a brat

>>714616423
What the fuck are you talking about did you just time warp from 2021 or something? The meta is blown wide the fuck open, we're playing with four years of datamining and foresight from the JP server.

>eating horsemeat is le bad
piss off

>>714612286 (OP)
It's been around for a while, why is it popular now?

>>714622978
It tastes bad, literally peasant food

so is now a good time to get into this or do i wait for some update or something. i'm seeing a lot of people talk about global vs jp. why are the versions different?

>>714622209
The most important races it could've run on, but your post answered enough already.

Man these horses have a lot of lore.

>>714622798
I only started Uma Musume today and she's already my favorite. Any horse that likes Top Gun is kino

it's in english now. most people can't read japanese.

>>714622798

any other horses like this? i hate it when i get "6 turns to goal!" or "it's race day again!" immediately after finishing a goal.

She still SAYS it during voiced lines, the text just doesn't match up.

>>714617680
I have no clue man.
I don't watch the show, I don't play the game, I know nothing of this fucking IP, I just saw some shit about horse girls in the catalogue and jumped in the thread, but in my opinion they totally should be proportioned like horses relative to their trainers.

>>714623027
>It tastes bad
skill issue
>literally peasant food
that would be normal pork

>>714622487
Some info is really hard to gind with google. You should save this pic for later use as you won't be finding this with google.

>>714622646
What? Proof? Just like other games there's different servers depending on the region. Which countries are locked out of the game. Off the top of my head it's like Netherlands and Belgium but that's because of verification issues.

>>714618490
Is that a meat horse or a draft horse?

>>714613313
Brazilians aren't human, so don't expect them to care.

>>714623162
And lobster also tastes like shit unless you drown it in a stick of butter.

>>714618735
Correct answer

>>714623067
Global got released 5 years later so Cygames are doing an abbreviated run of all the game's previous events/banners. If you're interested in the game and you don't start now you'll be handicapping yourself since you'll miss out on a lot of free currency and event cards.

>>714612286 (OP)
>Haru Urara
>Bad stats
Her problem is that the last race before the URA Finale races is long, not sprint or mile.

>>714617680
looks silly

>>714623213
pork is raised for food, horse is what you eat when you're an uncivilized peasant and have literally no other protein to eat

>>714618497
>more rice, less main dish
No one has ever asked for this ever

>>714618604
Urara is a mare

japanny hired indians to shill this shit because they are in panic mode over koreans and chinese booting them out of gacha market.

Tanino Gimlet Factoids (1/2)

>As of 2024, he is the oldest surviving Derby winner in Japan.
>Tanino Gimlet is a victim of the notorious and cruel “Matsukuni Rotation”. This is a famous race schedule arranged by trainer Matsuda Kunihide for the horses at his stable. It fits as many races as possible in the horse's first half of the classical year. One famous arrangement is to make the same horse run all of the more popular classics, including Satsuki-Sho, NHK Mile Cup, and Japanese Derby. Many horses ended up broken (most suffered bowed tendons) after the Japanese Derby and had to retire, Tanino Gimlet included.
>Some other famous victims: Kurofune, King Kamehameha, Deep Sky, Black Shell, Pink Cameo.
>Uma Musume Gimlet is a big time fence breaker and consciously does it as an appeal. IRL Tanino Gimlet is exactly the same and has broken over 30 fences in 2022 alone.
>Besides the fences, he also breaks feed buckets and stable walls.
>Kicking fences is very dangerous for horses, many end up breaking their legs or even die. However, Tanino Gimlet is an expert on this matter and never gets injured. He also does this for pure pleasure.
>On the first day he arrived at his retirement farm, he broke four fences, and scared the hell out of Rose Kingdom.
>He also teaches his stablemate/neighbour Rose Kingdom to do it, so now even Rose Kingdom is starting to kick the fences.

So how are horse races irl anyways? do the jockeys have zero input during the race while the horse chooses whatever they wanna do? Most of them look like assholes

>>714623869

(2/2)

>Staff had tried everything to prevent this from happening to even planting trees in front of the fences… which haven’t worked. >Most of the birthday funds he gets are to repair the fences he’s broken. But they seem to have found a good way to get funds by selling products made from the wood of the fences Tanino Gimlet has broken.
>The products made with fences broken by Tanino Gimlet were sold out minutes after they were released (and they were quite expensive).
>Because of this, he is known as the “God of Destruction”, which she also calls herself in Uma Musume.
>However, besides breaking the fences, Tanino Gimlet isn’t bad in terms of temper, he is actually on the tamer side. His stablemate Rose Kingdom is actually a lot worse.
>When Yogibo cushion was put on the grazing ground, Tanino Gimlet’s first thought was to kick it, but he gave up eventually because it was soft.
>But after a few tries, Yogibo also fell victim under the mighty power of God of Destruction (the pillow didn’t break though, which showed how durable it is).
>Gimlet's daughter is Vodka
>These two became the second father-foal pair and the first father-daughter pair to win the Japanese Derby.

Haru Urara is the patron saint of the underdog.

Gimlet, Vodka, Agnes, Scarlet. The Quartet of Cute.

>rerolled for 3 straight weeks and skipped every text in the process
>finally get the supposed GOD support horse
>but I don't know how to play now since I skipped every tutorial and cutscene
WHAT THE FUCK am I suppose to be doing. Careers non-stop? How do I consume my energy?

>>714618649
Skill issue. She only lost 2 out of 30 races for me despite the terrible training rng.

how f2p is this game? and I don't mean the kind where you gotta use this welfare unit kind of f2p

>>714623223

Japan, Korea and Taiwan have their own separate clients and are banned from playing on global. The steam community forums are full of various brown people seething about it being unable to play.

>e doing an abbreviated run of all the game's previous events/banners.
who should save for?

>>714622029
Just take a look at the steam forums nigga

Guys, I fear Haru will lose this race...

>>714624115
you can't compete, simple as

Consider the following, you get 50 americarrots per day, and you need 1500 for a 10 pull with zero guarantees of getting an SSR (the only cards that matter)

>>714624246
what if you don't wanna compete vs other players though

>>714624336
Isn't it mandatory to compete with them for rewards? You don't have to win, but you have to compete

can you pop two ults in one race or is it more just "if you're in a better position for the X ult than the Y ult, then we'll X ult"

do any of them have human ears? I hate how they hide it with long hair to avoid establishing the fact

>>714624336
NTA but if you're not aiming for pvp, you're fine. Career mode is relatively easy once you've trained some legacy horses. I haven't spent any cash and I've got several careers done.

>>714621378
>Two mating requests were made by Oguri Cap’s team to Horlicks’s team after retirement but both were turned down
WTF this is bullshit!!

>>714624405
every single kemonomimi character no matter the race has long hair to avoid the ears question

>>714616254
That's most likely why Blue Archive failed lol. Not enough retention or reason to come back and play other than logging in doing a daily and logging out. Plus let's not kid ourselves, gameplay and content is barebones compared to Umamusume. I feel like i am spoiled by playing the game.

what happens when you max a card? Aka: when you get like 6 copies of it

>>714624405
No, they've established they don't.
That's why the uma-use phones are so large.

>>714624219
>3000 meter sprint
what

>>714616276
The reason why Persona is not popular with the Gacha community is because it's an IP Gacha. It's a game in which has Gacha elements slapped on, and is using the IP of Persona to sell it and make money, which does not work because IP Gacha tend to be stingy compared to Original Gacha which was concieved from the very beginning to be a Gacha through an Anime itself like Umamusume. It also means that Cygames is not as stingy and also has to put in an effort for the fans with Merchandise, Anime, and even the Gacha itself to survive. Umamusume is their LIFELINE. For Persona it's a product with Gacha slapped on.
