Sakura War
Jesus new fucking game when???
And yes, I want actual turn base jrpg, xcom-style, not whatever the fuck they were doing in the recent game

Ohji Hiroi is 71. Shin bombed. I seriously doubt he has any pull to get more money to make a new game.

So your answer is never.

I played and completed the PS2 version of Sakura Wars 3 using a gamefaqs script translation back in 2008 and I came to the conclusion the franchise sucks unless you're a hardcore waifu otaku.

No idea why /v/ claims to be some hidden ultimate X-Com style masterpiece; those games are just interactive romance anime with a token turn based minigame between chapters.

Yeah.
I do like the idea of steampunk robot xcom, and it could be just that if a new game came out. But the game's routes in harem VNs are so strong there's no way it'd do well outside japan. Western otaku has been proven incapable of carrying a franchise, unless you appeal to coomers as well, and I feel that'd be the real death of the Sakura Wars franchise. Death of the soul.

I think they have a bigger issue where no zoomer knows of this series. The last game they realized sold like shit.

They need to remake the animes and then remake the old games so new fans can get into the series before making anything new.

Its a dating sim with isometric turn based battles every once in awhile and some other minigames. Its like persona, people don't play it for the combat.

off all the retarded decisions this was not one of them, if anything the problem was taking half-measures by trying to make the armors resemble the bulky mechs to please old fans which made them really ugly, instead of going full mecha musumue

I had a full collection of Sakura Wars games for Saturn, Dreamcast, Playstation 2, Playstation 4, including some merchandise. Then one day a few years ago robbers broke into my house while I was at work and took everything. Not just my Sakura Wars collection, but my entire physical games collection, including my imported Japanese Dreamcast console itself. Police said they can't do anything because it's not important enough. It was important to me.

Erica is mai waifu.

Making her just a delusional tragic character for cheap tears would have been very easy, but it's extremely lazy and a shit overdone story
Everyone thinks she's a fraud, everyone thinks she's a spy.. etc
The reason her story is great is because she is someone who always believed in herself because if she didn't, absolutely nobody else would, not even (You), all people have to offer is cheap patronizing pity, thinking she is just a dumb naive child, they're just looking down on her
She doesn't want your sympathy, she wants you to believe her
Of course the reveal has to be that she was telling the truth, she told you over and over with utmost conviction
And you didn't believe in her
But she did

It's still honestly incredible how much SEGA fumbled the ball with their Sakura Wars revival. It's obvious how much money they pumped into the reboot with even the flop of the mobile game having an insanely well animated full 20+ minute OVA. The fact that no videos on the western side of the world have seemingly been made on this failed reboot also goes to show how irrelevant the franchise is in the west. It's honestly a real shame.
