Wugods win again

I liked the ultra-fangirl-menhera MV from today's showing.
Entire show had good stuff!
Weird how little Yunkui: SI6 stuff we got, I thought they were more popular.

Nicole!

>>530138583
what showing?

>>530138401
>10 mil usd to 38 mil usd
to think of it
that's a big increase of revenue

https://youtu.be/P2QCnjJAMrU?si=PC9guvKrY-ApeiFu

I'm sorry but her mental illness is terminal.

>>530138583
For yunkui they just released this patch so it makes sense they wouldn't show a lot, now for section 6 I'm surprised too

>>530138682
its cute though

>>530138627
Nicole's illegitimate daughter

>>530138627
Nicole pleases old TOPS members for dennies!

>>530138682
My menhera wife cannot be this cute?

>>530138682
My batshit insane wife Vivian is so cute.

This is why you can't give her too much attention.

I hate stamina systems so much it's unreal

>>530139484
At-least ours stacks up to 2400 pool by default so if you don't want casino spins you aren't resource starved brick crying for ability to play.

Remember to breed your sister every day.

Just watched the hoyofaur bod and like 90% of the songs are in jp, not complaining

>>530138682

>Battery overcharge

Wu?

>>530138682
This feels like a 2000s jp shitpost, it's great

>wake up
>Eris is finally coming back in Mushoku tensei
today is a good day

>come back
>stamina is capped you empty your bar and that's it you can't do anything else
current system
>don't play 5 days
>come back
>you have full stamina and quite a bit extra to catch up
If you go farther back, these kusoge used to consume stamina to participate in events too

>>530139912
>several big kinos getting announced back to back
being an anime fan is cool sometimes, even if I skippa 99% of the stuff now that I'm older, I miss the days of watching everything airing weekly and shitposting about whatever memes we collected that week.

Pulchra!

what team can i make with jufufu or pulchra

>>530140012
you're responding in good fail to a crossposter here to stir the pot. anybody who's played gacha knows ZZZ has QoL they've been begging to get since 2014, that anon is just a lolcow reaction farmer bwo.

>>530140098
>two stunner
Roll for huworm on the rerun

>>530140012
>spend stamina to fight a weekly restricted boss that will drop materials for a character you don't use
i can't believe i used to let genshin fuck my ass like that

Just finished the 2.0 story quest after putting it off for a while due to work.
It wasn't too good. I didn't like how Shifu was the only actual character, with everyone else basically playing second fiddle to her. Ju fufu and the panda really don't have the kind of chemistry the other factions have with each other, mainly because neither of those 2 have an actual personality.

It bothers me because everything else this patch was amazing except the story, the direction they're taking it in, and how much goddamn shilling Shifu got.

>>530140201
>absorbs city-wide miasma ball with no lingering affects or ethereal conversion because muh meridians aligned to let me just passively purify it out if I self isolate here for two days.
It could have been worse...

>>530140015
Arakawa kino too, I read a couple chapters of the manga back in 2022

Do you guys think Shiyu or Deadly Assault should be harder? I feel like besides new players / extremely casual players who only log in a couple times a week or something, everyone is full clearing both endgames without much effort.

>>530140201
>chemistry
>personality
So the same issue as every faction that isn't CH, VH or SoC.

>ZZZTHANK

DESPERATE

>>530139809
Considering the people involved it's not surprising.

>>530140340
Shiyu should be left for the casuals. DA should be 100% harder since they actually will make different boss mechanics/moves.

No thanks Sjal, I chuck my used batteries (and bangboos) safely into the ocean

Why are there Hollow pimples on the moon?

>>530140770
I cant believe I masturbate to NPCs in this game

did you regret not rolling for your #1 fan?

>>530140937
I'm skipping her for a more useful anomaly agent.

>>530140862
not sure but looking at the soviet style posters in areospace city they were sending people to the moon and probably had a moon base, the HIA also use modified space suits

>>530140937

I only just came back. Rerun when?

>>530140901
One of the first doujinshi we ever got was for Venus. We fuck NPC here.

>>530140201
Miyabi sword autism was respectable because she had cracks and her background was interesting, even if the foxfire stuff (train section lul) didn't really pan out as interestingly as I wanted it to.
Yeah I agree, Yunkui feels like they did a "these characters sound cool" type of design but lacking a fundamental sensible reason for them to get along other than (oh we go to the same sect and she's my 30 year old teacher who didn't really want the job but was forced to because well everybody else died) her entire stepping up arc was so underwhelming because her personality is so dry and fufu/panda are just fucking mascots rather than believable entities.

>>530140937
I'll get the turbo menhera on her rerun.

>>530141116
For me it was Orchidea and Sweetie

I don't like fast-paced action games but i play zzz

>>530140340
No. I want to clear with Nekomata.

>>530140937
I dont ever use Vivian I will just end up getting hard unnecessarily

>Confession
I enjoy playing NTR RPGM games.

Even Vivian is more likeable than Miyabi

>>530140937
no she makes Grace useable in endgame

>>530140012
>If you go farther back, these kusoge used to consume stamina to participate in events too

FGO still does that anon. Ours is a special kind of hell.

>>530138541
Just watch any of the interviews or nearly any of the streams, it comes up frequently, they're very open about how their direction and future plans (not just for the story, for everything) change based on player reception and feedback.

>Confession
I fap to AI-generated ZZZ fart porn twice a week

>>530140937
>still unmatched in her role months later
>unbricks my rat/burnice combo
I swapped for her plus ball, haven't regretted it yet. Regret fucken shifu though, I ended up just going back to Ellen and using fufu, I'm probably gonna retire shifu once her shill ends permanently.

>>530140340
>everyone is full clearing both endgames without much effort
Only whales are doing this actually

>>530138682
I can fix her. But I won't, I want her to stay as she is.

>>530140354
They transferred the old team to genshin and hsr

>>530141608
in FGO you have so many fucking stamina items that it's literally never an issue though, it's more about how much time you're willing to waste grinding
only people who ever have stamina issues are people who turbonolife lottos (or set FGA to spend all their apples on a lotto)

>>530140901
Same, but to Asha only

>>530141497
Miyabi has assbuggers she's trying her best.

>>530140298
>>530141223
Shifu definitely ruined the entire experience for me. I've played all 3 hoyoverse games and the shilling has never been this bad, where the entire story sabotages itself just to shill one character.
That scene where she flew up in the air and used magic to cleanse all the citizens just made my eyes roll so far back into my head that I could stare at my frontal cortex. Remember when this was about down-to-earth hacker outlaws trying to fight back political forces much bigger than them from the shadows?

The devs definitely know how to optimize their game with the many QoLs and mechanic changes that make the game much more enjoyable, but damn they clearly have 0 vision of this game and what to do with it.
Spook Shack looks kino though, but Shifu and her chink celebration shill patch left a very bad taste in my mouth. At least her tits are nice.

>>530141023
what managed to scare her...

>>530141348
They need to make a slower paced non mashy character, the closest we have is Ben and maybe Soukaku and Piper.

It's still better to have all the chink wank be contained in one character than the alternative.

Just show me the fucking characters after yuzu and alice. I refuse to pull.

>>530142208
Not faping to JKs is a crime you better have Ellen or else.

Even if Komano is probably an A-rank, what are the chances his kit ends up being fun?

WHAT
A
CUTIE!

>>530141884
We've had similarly bad mary sueism with the japwank before. Invincible, prodigious coldsteel waifu that can one punch kill any opponent (but allows herself to get escorted away by men with waterguns because lol). I'm afraid it is going to be like this with every Void Hunter level character because brownoids love their girlbosses.

>>530141613
for me it's ball stomping mmds

Will rolling on the standard banner affect my S pulls in the limited banner in any way?

>>530142361
Last I heard he got promoted to S.

>>530141884
My cope continues to be that like the other 2.0 patches, their hearts just weren't into the forced Chinawank (I imagine there's significant pressure to make positive PR for their home country due to who they're in bed with.)

I'm still paying, let's see if 2.1 is a-bit better and they polish up their idea for what hollows open world gameplay is now.

>>530142179
I did the survey for once, and man they suck. I wasn't even allowed to rate the new character, instead I had to answer how the fucking shitty filler events are with questions like how DIFFICULT each specific stage of this damn battle event was. HOW WOULD I REMEMBER?

Doubt they read the wall of text that I wrote at the end but man they suck. All I wanted to do is rate Shifu as low as possible and complain about them designing EVERYTHING around this one char and that being unfair as fuck to all the others. Also the lack of limited stunner upgrades to their additional ability, just because they release a new limited stunner right after.

Well, aside of the need to complain about more and more enemies having 0 indicators when they decide to turn invincible from one second to the next, and you often whiffing entire ultimates or Miyabi charge lvl 3 attacks. That should really not be. This starts to happen way too often for my taste.

>>530142520
who was demoted?

>>530142502
No separate counters.

>we have the upcoming swimsuit Yuzu and Alice
>let's draw more swimsuit Belle
The state of ZZZ fanarts.

>>530142642
Belle is just too sexy.

>>530142642
Devs have no idea what to do

>>530142598
Seed.

>>530142642
Worst mistake this game ever made was giving us the best girl from the start for free.

>>530142502
Yeah, you waste good luck if you get an early. Nobody knows dude. But you will definitely believe this.

>>530142696
mibibi agrees

At least we got some fucking GAINS from the chinkwank kun fu training.

>genshin has a china themed area as world 2 after a very strong start in world 1

>HSR has a china themed area as world 2 after a very strong start in world 1
>the story quality drops off a cliff
>ZZZ has a china themed area as world 2 after a very strong start in world 1
>it happened again
What the fuck is going on? How are they 3 out of 3 across their main games?
Is it a culture difference type thing where you HAVE to be chinese to enjoy these areas or is there some kind of conspiracy where they write the shittiest stories possible as protest over the fact that they're being forced to make china themed areas?

>>530142642
>Belle and Wise swimwear looks like something appropriate for the 90s urban setting.
>Alice/Yuzuha looks like genshin designed Halal tier safe-horny.
I wonder why nobody likes their swimsuits as much, weird.

>>530141613
this but futa

>>530143240
World 1 in HSR was the space station.
The SoC outskirts was World 2 in zzz.
But I guess that doesn't fit your narrative.

The urban designs in this game remind me of Jet Set radio's 90s futurism urban kino design a lot actually.
This is like somebodies distinct style right? I feel like it used to be more popular or famous.

>>530143240
Mihoyo's Chinese zones and characters are pretty terrible but the Japanese ones are even worse. At this point there has to be political motivations behind such piss poor writing.

I hontoni hontoni regret rolling for Anbryck

>>530143240
This has been discussed to death recently across all 3, do you remember the Laofu /hrt/ threads? Doomjeets were circling like vultures because of how TERRIBLE it was. Same as Genshin, honestly our 2.0 doomjeet reaction has been tame in comparison to there's, their 2.0 chinawank nearly KILLED both those games.

>>530143240
Well, in Genshin's case Inazuma was even worse (though as far as I know there was a lot of internal issues during it).
As for Star Rail, the main issue was pacing. They dropped you in front of the final dungeon, then you had to wait till 1.2 to DO the final dungeon ONLY and 1.3 to do the aftermath. It's nowhere near as bad if you'd just play it in one go, but times were harsh early on. All the story content of 1.2 and 1.3 was like 20% of a current patch. The return to china in year 2 was trying to set up a continuous story, but it didn't do it very well with how disjointed the two patches were. Like they internally couldn't agree on what to do.

ZZZ might really just be pressure from above. I have never seen more shill than Shifu in any Hoyo game. It's absurd.

But yes the chinese did love 2.0 a fucking lot.

>>530143493
>hontoni hontoni
i laffed

>>530143340
Nobody counts the space station because it was a tutorial. Even then, Belobog was the first one made in the data files; the space station was added later.
>>530143240
>HSR
>strong start
You do realize Wildfire theme carried that slop, right?

>>530143406
We're lacking black representation.

>chinks love it
>it flops
??

>>530143240
My head canon will continue to reinforce the idea that they themselves are westaboos and don't want to do it, but there's too much (((internal))) pressure to please a certain demographic.

When do we finally get to the French area?

>>530143541
Yeah, didn't Shifu sell like hot cakes?
I guess all the chinkshit, despite alienating every non-chinese player, is pretty much always worth it to keep the chink playerbase reeled in before they can do actually interesting stuff.

>>530143731
When we get Furina expy

>>530143242
>90s urban setting
>most characters blurted out gen A lingo and memes at some point
>lifelike VR exists and the convenience store's camera can record everything at 4K but we are still using videotapes box TVs and le vinyls because lol reddit
>streets in lumina square look like something from 2050
This game's setting can't make up its mind on what it fucking wants to be in the first place.

>>530143702
>all 3 mainline hoyo games have their best stories and most memorable characters be western-themed
damn, you may be into something

>>530143682
Japan and Korea were indifferent. They still made good money of the chinks

>>530143406
Something odd about zzz designs are the chains and bolts on Corin, Koleda and Soukaku the other characters don't really share any of those details. Caesar and Ellen have tiara's that resemble a crown and shark teeth and Zhu Yuan has a cuff holding her ponytail instead of a scrunchy but that's it.

>>530143840
Don't forget
>also there's actual magic
>not explained via phlebotinum or hollow anomalies, actual genuine chinese magic being cast as if it was the most normal thing in the world

I'm ready to curb stomp and snap her neck.

>>530144023
why

>>530144023
I don't think she will be a villain

>>530144069
she's wearing an officer's uniform so maybe she's from the defense force

>>530143843
Itto, Hu Tao, and Acheron are all eastern as fuck. Are you smoking crack?

>>530143939
>bolts
probably just the designer's fetish. god bless the mod that removes them on corin

>>530144110
it makes sense on her as she's a nod to Frankenstein but I don't understand why Koleda has chains

SHEEEEEEEEEEZAAAARR

>>530144174
Oh and I almost forgot Lucy has her pig boots.

>>530143957
Anon, YX explain that what she does is ether manipulation.

>>530144280
NYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>>530144174
that's an actual Trigger, I didn't add her because it's not the same dark metallic design as the rest other characters have cool on the nose accessories but it's the chains that stood out on those three.

Lol, Alice already censored. Fuck this homo game.

>>530144258
You don't, her race is almost extinct get to fucking work fixing that.

>>530144294
You called?

Bros...i already ordered all 4, but...

>>530144258
chemical castration

>>530143406
I don't see it. JSR's design are mostly normal clothes, its the art style that make them look cool.
ZZZ is pretty much standard anime, but the design can go from simple but stylish (Nicole) to over the top (Corrin).

Are all the Operation Yum conversations supposed to come across as schizophrenic rambling on the same level as EYE DIVINE CYBERMANCY'S dialogue?

>>530144673
...they are now making the maids too. I don't have enough money for All.

>>530143957
It looks silly as hell but it's not magic. The thing on her butt is an ether manipulation gadget

Don't open this.
https://youtu.be/lld-HwHBJJQ

>>530144673
You do realize a Grace one also just came out right?

>>530143240
i actually enjoyed the xianzhou luofo, mainly because the stellaron hunters were involved, for me, hsr's story really dropped in quality in penacony, that shit was a tedious slog, with a bunch of barely related stories all converging at the end. genshin is shit, played 2 hours of it and wanted to rope, so i can't comment on that, but zzz's story has been on a downhill before this shaolin shit, i feel it started off when we killed bringer, and zhu yuan had nothing to say about it, he was her fucking idol bro, and we don't even get a scene of her having a little cry (at least not that i remember), i also feel like we didn't get a proper explanation as to why he went from the people's hero, to a corrupt cunt, i do think there was some explanation, but if there was, it was so dogshit, that i just have a "i think there was a reason" memory of it... i also feel like the cunning hares have been reduced to below background characters in the story

When you see something magic like, its ether. Anby's thunder? Ether. Astra's song? Ether. Evelyn snap? Ether.

i hate the big ugly bear why'd they have to smush him between my wives

>>530145080
What about Ether?

>>530145080
Wrong Shifu's bird exists outside of hollows, the game is called urban fantasy by the devs and magic real deal with it.

>>530144759
Nah it's just AI generated since 99% will just skip trough it.

>>530145071
Penaconys setting was 10/10, but yeah the storytelling was a complete schizophrenic mess, it went in 6 different directions. The whole sparkle section left me feeling ill from tonal whiplash.

>>530144984
No She didn't. The only figure left is Lycaon and a small cheap Ellen.

>stop welkin since 1.3
>Because kinda feels like this game is more generous than hsr,gi
>No point in become paypigs anymore.
>have meta limited : ellen,mibibi,yi,astra,yanagi,burnice
>don't roll limited engine : only mibibi
>clear all endgame

Isn't this game too comfy? Meanwhile in hsr i sweat like an ass to clear endgame unlimited hp inflation

>>530145259
>urban fantasy
so its gonna be genshin impact by 3.0 just like HSR?

>>530145071
What happened to Bringer is still a mister. All we know is that he almost died being a hero but something saved him and immediately broke his mind.

>>530145447
It's the best part of why I'm still playing, its easy to maintain and f2p and still get whoever I want.
This is not something I could do in gig or hrt, barely get enough for skippa and just limiteds.

Didn't ZZZ previous livestream or dev talk said Season 2's story will last a full year?

>>530143615
>You do realize Wildfire theme carried that slop, right?
How can one properly done/place OST elevate a scene so fucking

>>530145259
You can use ether outside of the hollows you know. That's what ether battles are for.

>>530144673
>missing Amillion
You need the banging boo

>try ether 12 lost void with yixuan, pan and fufu
>fail 4 times
>try my standard evelyn, koleda and astra team
>win 1st time
I should have skipped shifu. I suck with her, or her weapon is THAT is a must and I dun goofed.

>>530140354
I think Belobog was cool too. Basically all the 1.0 cast, when they still cared about the game having sovl.
I don't think Shifu and friends' personalities are THAT bad though. Their allpowerful chinese chakra magic however - IS THAT bad. Writers are determined to sink this shit.
Voice your opinions in the Surveys. I told them to drop this chink shit and go back to Fairy and the hacker/ 4 AI plotline while they still can.

>>530145259
Ether exist outside hollows. Else, 1.5 wouldn't happen and Sacrifices wouldn't be such a major thing.

>>530140354
>VH
I think you meant to say PS

>>530145816
They only have these 2.

>>530145643
Yes but it's not going to be 100% china wank more like 30%.

Damn, didn't expect duet night abyss has good combat
https://youtu.be/bVwbn8FEBbk?t=703

>>530145643
We're already leaving faildong heights, it's more China but it's split between other stuff, 50% of this patch is (not) Hawaii

>>530145914
sacrifices aren't regular ethereals and can exist outside of hollows

>>530145831
that's me but with the battle tower right now. i feel like i've wasted a shit ton of rolls on these chars. should have stuck with my anomaly pill.

>>530146184
I knew I should have just pulled Lighter and skipped Shifu.

what engine do i get??? i have 2x brim, weeping and nothin else
maybe ill get fusion compiler for burny/meebs but i think r5 gemini beats it or something

>>530145914
They bringing it up in 1.2, almost everything in the city runs of it. Specialized ether weapons that can be used outside a hollow however are supposed to be rare.

>>530146371
I don't think anything in the early story matters anymore

>>530146134
it's destiny plus genshin they couldn't fuck it up

Which begs the question where the hell did Nicole get her briefcase?

>>530140098

i don't believe they'll ever even explain what happened to him, we're now so far detatched from the neps characters, that the police don't even bother showing up to investigate crimes. i really like how brown dust does their story, you have a core cast of characters, while new characters (or costumes) get added through different means (character stories, main story, seasonal events), it allows the main story there to retain the core cast and remain focused (chasing after warlocks/lathel), zzz needing to tie every little, uninteresting, new character into the main story really makes it suffer. they have an established tool, why don't they just progress the story with the main cast, and release characters that would otherwise derail the story, through the character tapes. i unironically don't remember what the main story involving sanby and trigger was, i did really enjoy trigger's tape however, it was actually memorable, but i don't have a single recollection of how they tied the 2 into the actual story

>>530145119

The chinks bitched that Jane's story had very little to do with the protagonist or the main plot. So now we ain't getting anything like that anymore. Which is stupid, because stories like that help fleshed out the world a lot more. And made it feel like an actual living city.

>>530146371
>Specialized ether weapons that can be used outside a hollow however are supposed to be rare.
I think its more there to justify why the military do not have access to Nicole/Zhu Yuan/Vivian tier weaponry.

i wish i could beat to death whoever did a half asses job on programming shadow jane's animations

>>530146134
It's literally just Warframe combat, in fact, that melee animation string is just the Tempo Royale stance from that game sped up by 2x.

>Only Safety has a proper plush
The hell it's like they don't want my money.

>>530147519
warframe's melee is janky and not amazing despite years of improvements and reworks but its easily overlooked because you're obliterating hordes of enemies with spastic, lightning fast melee. It just looks awkward in this game.

What the fuck is even going on with Task Force Ether Act 15. Do you need like both Ult resonas fully leveled up? I had the reduced decibel cost one fully leveled and it still took 3 minutes something to kill the priest with a very good Yixuan/Panda/Jufufu team.

really weird, i don't see the need for every character to be tied to the MC/main story, bloating and derailing the main story is stupid, and it also further delays it, they have to come up with random shit ways to tie multiple characters into the story of "what happened to their adoptive mum" every other month, which i don't think we've even made any progress on at all. it kind of makes sense from the point of view that wise/belle are freelancers, and also have no leads, so they just do whatever incestigations come their way, but it does make the story boring and diluted, there's no actual plot progression, and it's already obvious that the ebin cult, or whoever is pulling their strings, caused the fall of the old capital as well, obviously. every main story chapter is static and its own, self-contained thing, that has no effect on the world or the characters. we met evelynn and astra, did some shit, astra and evelynn are no longer part of the story, we met hugo and vivian, we did some shit, hugo and vivian are no longer part of the story, we met miyabi and the section 6 characters, did some shit, they're no longer part of the story, and all of these characters would be insanely useful if you're looking for information, nobles who larp as thieves, an pop-star with immense connections, a special police unit? fuck 'em, need to make space for the fotm characters. apologies for all of my blogpost walls of text.

I assume its made for whales who have hyper strong M6 limited character.
Which is why you don't really need to do it to get the rewards.

>>530147968
This game?
I played duet abyss cbt1 and characters don't have combos so it's just button mash.
The cherry on top is that only the limited character available was proficient both in melee and range weapon type making her way superior since you have game modes where you want to use both.
Not to mention she dies in the story so can't wait for the backlash.

>>530148024

excusing poor quality in games that make tens of millions a month is stupid, everything about the game could be much better, and not like they don't have experience, they have 2 huge games prior to zzz, surely there must've been some takeaways from their failures and successes... i understand that mihoyo specifically tries to pander to the lowest common denominator, but they could try to put a bit more effort in, at least i'd hope

no way, uma musume reference???

>>530148732
Problem is that they partially need to make it up as they go. FGO had major rewrites in the middle of end-stage development for patches. What I'm saying is things usually get worse before they start to get better with gatcha games.

>>530148732

hopefully, i'll take a break from it and lurk here to see if/when the story gets better, i don't enjoy zzz's side content much, the only one i kind of liked is taking specific pictures during combat.
>>530149076
pgr is also a mobile game, but everything about it far outshines zzz, it's an actual game, with effort put into it, and while i do realize that these games were made with mobile players in mind, they're obviously trying to tap into the pc/console markets, they obviously need to put more effort into them, you wouldn't catch me dead playing a game like zzz or pgr on a mobile device. i do realize that pgr is a 6 years old game, but mihoyo has hi3, which is even older, surely they don't need to make the same mistakes with every game they release (they do).

>>530146134
Holy shit this looks almost as bad as Blue Protocol

>>530149954
I dunno, I don't remember PGR being complex.

It is a shame but I dont think theres any saving the game. Theyve made their choice to appeal to the people who just want aura and hype moments with no substance. I honestly doubt theyre going to improve the "walk her press x" garbage and theyre further doubling down on making everything a stupid ass minigame you cant even fail because if they fail a puzzle twice the chink players threaten homocide.
The games just not about the story they set out to tell anymore

You think that hurts?

>>530154706
Persona antagonists (less so Jared from Subway) are about power dynamics and how positions of authority can be utilized for widespread and unpunished abuse and crime against those under your power.
You expect a company that's buddies with the Chinese government to write something like that? You VILL fight your villain of the week that just inhaled too much ether gas as motivation.

>>530154992
Sure. But I actually prefer the slow way than the fast way.
It actually gives a sense of progression.

>Proxy?
>a proxy for who?

>>530155081
yeah the first couple of months were rock solid. Always checking the interknot and reading comments before bed, comics instead of black screens, always out in the world doing intermissions and helping bangboos, exploring hollow zero and unlocking side quests, etc. The insane amount of content and style that had to be cut just so fucking 90 IQ retards who want to press "OK" and get their easy currency still enrages me.

>>530154376
The only thing I can defend about this is that the Siblings has always bitched about not being able to get inside the Hollow since their goal was and always has been to personally reach Helios Academy which was their whole reason for agreeing to becoming an independent hollow investigator for Ray and enter Hollow Zero. It makes sense in a way that they want to get experience investigating the Hollow, but at the same time then you kinda realize that the other Sibling is riding Eous while the main sibling is personally in the Hollow which just makes it more confusing

>>530143406
I picked up this game in the first place because it reminded me of JSR and TWEWY

I find it funny that moments before the story fight against Miasma Priest, Yixuan tells us to stay and hide somewhere and the next immediate cutscene is us following her directly into the big ominous arena

>>530155698
>They cancelled their MMO thing
This is unironically a good thing.

>>530155306
Yeah pretty much. Man Im really glad I picked the game up on launch and enjoyed all of that. It was so damn good, so much subtle story and world building in the original system
But, in order to appeal to a wide audience you have to be waayyyy more generic than the release allowed.
Though honestly Everything after Jane flopped so damn hard specifically because they exploded the storytelling to shit for sons of calydon onwards.
As things are I'll keep sorta playing but I know were way past the peak and just on a slow decline now, at least we can smile it happened

>>530155595
Yeah but they like to cope about it

Honestly like the concept of one of the sibilings going into the hollow while the other navigates Eous with support of Fairy.
But the way its presented is fairly bland since the person using Eous seems non existant.
Fairy also has nearly no lines anymore.
I miss her snarky comments like telling Belle that she should cut Assistant Number 2's pay so they can increase Fairy's performance.

>>530155871
imma laugh if the time travel shit comes true and Wise = Joyous

This all started in 1.3, gonna be like this until 3.0+ I bet
I miss how they were before so much, I miss how they were introduced as this cool team in the shadows using agents and guiding them with Eous, I miss all of that. Yeah I also miss TV mode but leaving that aside, I just miss that feeling. I have no idea what they are doing with the story oh my gosh

>>530156108
Holy fucking kino

>>530155871
>The time travel plot is actually just Wise doing a Steins;Gate
If it's tasteful I'll allow it, if it's low effort cop-out or straight plagiarism again i'll have a melty

>>530155594
Oh 100000% they did, I have no doubt the entire original team hates this new direction but have no choice for their baby of 4 years of love. You can tell there is no passjon in the stupid ass open world areas they have to do now. It really sucks for the team and part of why I stay is the love in the animations and characters

I feel that they should never have let Belle and Wise enter the hollows - I always felt that their lack of ether aptitude was good for raising stakes in the story - such as when Belle was caught in the hollow or both times when you crashed into the hollows in the Outer Ring. I also felt that it created more interesting dynamics with the agents and the uniqueness of Eous as a Bangboo they can experience things through

I was going to suggest just go full open-world to solve the story but it seems like many are being burnt out on open-world games.

>>530156108
Lets say this becomes true. Who is Belle gonna be? And how are they gonna do the story telling onwards since there would be a very clear split in personality.

>>530155446
even the l*dditors are flaming normgroids for being weird about Fufu, women don't all need to be 5'8 hags to be legal or desirable.

>>530156295
Open world are a complete waste of money & effort if the dev couldn't figure out something interesting to be added on it.

Every time we got our "meridians checked" via black screen to ""“""""master""""""" a new ether power it killed my a little more inside, and the other sibling is completely left out. Before we were masters of our craft and a team, now we are a liability with powers that feel non earned and cheap and the other sibling is becoming fairy 2.0. They have no fucking idea about what to do with the MCs and fairy and it shows. The 2.0 story was bad as fuck (the doctor, porcelumen, the exaltists...), but that could be isolated and can become better later. But the direction of the MCs is ruinning the story going forward.

>>530155446
Ironic pedophiles are getting too uppity.

>>530156292
Bro anyone can enter the hollows now, just update your HDD os snd shiet

>>530156436
no one cares you wall of text posting loser

>>530156292
If they ever wanted to go back to the old capital it's inevitable that things would have to change.

The worst part is that we DON’T EVEN DO ANYTHING in there. Do we calculate hollow routes and carrots? Nope! Agents already have one.
Imagine having your agents say “we’ll just use this rift over there” to the BEST PROXIES in New Eridu. It’s so nonsensical that the twins aren’t the ones pointing out the routes to use but the agents instead. We are literally tagging along for ZERO reason.

>>530155081
If FGO can come back from shit like Septem, Chunguska, Shimosa and Olympus among many other retarded story decisions any game with money can com back from fucking anything.

>>530156436
You are kinda pushing it now ngl

It all went to shit in 1.7 with this ridiculous exposition dump of "hey, your eye implants give you Ether aptitude because reasons". I'd be ashamed to post this kind of "writing" even on Wattpad.
Also with the mayor both knowing about us and being a huge sponsor, which came out of literal nowhere.
The whole premise of the game is completely thrown out the window with everyone and their dog knowing we're proxies, with us having the support of cops, the mayor, and Section 6, and now with Hollows being static and not labyrinthine death mazes.

>>530156292
>I always felt that their lack of ether aptitude was good for raising stakes in the story - such as when Belle was caught in the hollow or both times when you crashed into the hollows in the Outer Ring.

Sorry, the mind of the average chang or brown SEAnig cannot comprehend this. The only thing he comprehends out of this subtext is that he is being "cucked" and a "cameraman"

I like chink culture I just think the story direction is shit and a complete tonal shift from 1.0

>>530156571
The correct application of being proxy was back on the first part of 1.4. miyabi and wise getting lost in the hollow and finding their way out was 10/10 writing

Just give it up.
Release the Twins as playable S ranks.
Full shonenslop please.

It all went downhill ever since 1.5.

>>530156729
Based I like it too

>>530156956
none of the shit you're whining about was in 1.5

>>530156956

Is this the next TV ot no TV situation?

this thread is so much comfier when that one specific schizophrenic is taking their neet nap

>>530157271
MC aurafarming behind a computer screens.

>>530156956
As a newfag that just binged everything I think it was 1.2/1.4 and I honestly don't get most of the complaints because I genuinely don't feel that "tonal shift" in 2.0 and it all feels similar from SoC onwards
Only at the beginning it was made clear that we were the nerds in a chair guiding people. That got sidelined quite quickly so I feel the complaints are disproportioned, any different addition is just the current change of flavour to keep things fresh, including the Lemnian hollow

>>530156696
>and now with Hollows being static and not labyrinthine death mazes.

Only one hollow like that.

Now that the dust has settled, why did 2.1 fail?

>>530140937
Actually yes, but I had to save up for Yixuan. Rerun fucking when, especially as it seems Yuzuha will work wonders with her

>>530157530
John Titor now runs a youtube channel?

>>530156292
Anon, 1.4 revealed that the exaltist were linked to their mommy, and it was already stated that their main objectives if to get to the Helios Academy deep inside HZ and find their teacher-mom.
I could see Phaethon going into the hollow coming from a mile away.

>>530157530
gave us too much free shit, ended up making raiders jerk themselves into a black hole destroying the whole general

>>530157530
No naked bara furry

>>530157530
2.1 isnt even out yet. And its looking to be a fun Summer event patch?
Or was this supposed to be for 2.0?

>>530157530
Devs got complacent with mediocrity

>>530157271
Neither

>>530157605
Really it was never a matter of if but wen and how. They fucked up the wen and how.

>>530157668
People are pre-shitposting 2.1.

I need to rape Yuzuha btw.

>>530157489
yeah pmuch this. SoC was when the guillotine fell on half the dev team and things changed. I think it just took time for people to feel the aftermath since 1.0 and 1.1 had done so much heavy lifting for story setup.
after all the setup was used, and there wasnt anything to use for setup anymore after 1.2's changes, the tower of cards fell completely.
>>530156638
hell man I fuckin hope so, I fucking love these characters and what the world used to be

>>530157752
This fucking game is living rent free in some people's life

>>530157425
People forget that's a thing.

Billy vs anton, who has a better dps

>>530157745
Yeah, the OS update asspull was lame. I am just glad they are still basically civillian and their abilities just limited to traversal and puzzle solving.

Why is there so much doomposting in here? I love this game what the fuck are you doing?

>>530144673
How are Apex figs? Even in the promo arts, they don't seem high quality like GSC's ones. Or Alter but they're a league on their own. I'd get the Nicole one, but hey.

we were discussing the game dipshit

>>530158004
Hello fellow zzz enjoyer

>>530158004
sorry bruv got it out of my system, hoping 2.1 is some nice lax fun

>>530158048
Hello I love the game! I love how generous they got too!

>>530158013
I actually pre ordered the Nicole one.
I hope they do a Lucy Trigger and Evelyn one too.
And for the future of curse the entire Angels line up

we hate [current year] zzz here

What if your avatar get kidnapped, became a cyborg and had motorcycle that is called "chariot"?

yeah zzz fell off

Why do Ether wives have insane bodies?

>>530151457
When you think about it, your parents played gacha and 50/50 had a chance to get the daughter they wanted, but instead they got (You).
Gacha games are a reflection of life itself.

We enjoyed 2.0 here btw
ZZZ entertains us btw

That's it; ZZZ flopped bigly!
I'm dropping ZZZ and going back to ZZZ!

There are things you can't control
Fortune's fickle, that's this world

Is this game really floppy slop?

you owe Vivian sex

side 2 is supposed to shill shifu yet palicus are fucking impossible with her, the fuck did they mean by this?

They're already setting up for a looping timeline. We're going to get our asses reset to 1.0 v2.

What is this thumbnail style called

Vivian's lips curl into a fanged grin as she takes a slow drag from the cigarette Wise offers, the ember flaring in the dim motel room. She exhales smoke directly into Anby's face before grinding the cigarette out on her collarbone, relishing the sizzle of flesh and the choked scream that follows.

"Replace me?" Vivian purrs, her voice dripping with venomous amusement. She drives her spiked heel directly into Anby's wrist with a sickening crunch. "You couldn't even replace the lint in Lord Phaethon's pocket." The parasol flashes downward—once, twice—and two fingers go skittering across the floor like broken chopsticks.

Anby's shrieks turn guttural as Vivian straddles her chest, using the parasol's tip to pry open her mouth. "Let's see you talk shit without teeth or fingers," she growls, slamming the metal shaft sideways to dislocate the jaw with a wet pop. Blood bubbles from Anby's lips as Vivian leans in close, whispering: "This is what happens to greedy little whores."
She glances back at Wise, pupils blown wide with arousal, dress straps hanging off her shoulders. The AC kicks on again, fluttering the torn edges of her pantyhose against Anby's trembling thighs. "Shall I mail the pieces to her gang? Or…" Her tongue flicks out to catch a drop of blood on her chin. "Should I make her swallow them?"

>>530159065
This is how it felt for me too.
Side 1 actually pushed me into 2 minutes.

>>530159154

>>530159309
The only ZZZ commentator who isn't paid off by Hoyo

How come ZZZ is getting all these figs when Genshin is getting nothing. I'm not complaining, I like ZZZ's characters, but you'd think a Raiden fig would've sold gangbusters, or other Archons, and yet they didn't use this opportunity.
I don't understand MHY. Sometimes they feel like Nintendo. Decisions that doesn't make sense when it comes to business.

ZZZ needs a Phainon.

>>530159437
They do be like that, not even EU hours are safe now

>Sidetail
>Twintails
>Drilltails

>>530159497
The studio making the figs likely only asks Hoyo for the rights to make and sell them.

>>530159497
Forgot pic, love my Rinas.

ZZZ needs more cute playable Thiren girls.

Story plot? Rewrotten and destroyed. Gay shit? Added and shilled. Animations? Lazy. Yep, it's homoyo time.

If there is anyone here who actually plays the game and is not raiding:
Yuzuha's weapon is not a "must" right? W5 Kaboom is good enough? Proto Punk is her best 4pc set?

>>530159497
Forget the figs, I'm still waiting on that anime. It'll unironically bring Genshin back to KING of gacha status.

Vivian's lips curl into something between a smile and a snarl. She rises slowly, the joints in her knees popping like gunshots in the sudden silence. The parasol twirls once in her grip before she drives it downward with both hands—

The spearhead punches through Anby's sternum with a wet crunch, pinning her to the floorboards like a butterfly specimen. Blood wells up around the wound in thick pulses. Vivian leans into the thrust, putting her full weight behind it until the metal tip embeds itself in the wood beneath.

"Rot in whatever Hollow spits you back out," she murmurs, watching the light fade from Anby's eyes.

Then she's crawling back onto the bed, straddling Wise's lap with her torn dress riding up her thighs. She's still got blood under her nails when she cups his face. "Just us now," she breathes, pressing their foreheads together. The AC kicks off with a dying rattle, leaving only the sound of their mingled breathing and the slow drip of blood from the corpse in the corner.

>530159224
we do not speak its name

>>530158004
We are being raided. The people who usually raid /gig/ are raiding us because they succeeded in killing /gig/ and making most people who actually play Genshin leave.

>>530159745
I would like to know too.
Supports generally can get by with f2p options.

>>530158958
Alice references Damian in the trailer so he will have screentime.

Any chance for Shifu to use the sword? Would she turn into a void hunter2

>>530159851
I think she can't reach 200 AM without her sig, but even so it seems like her sig is just a 10% increase

>>530160041
ew Kill it

>>530160205
she'll die if she do that hollowbeit

>>530159762
they mentioned long term development, but it’s been like 3 years already and we know for a fact that ufotable is working on the Kimetsu movies
I think they announced it far too early

>>530160176
Damn Anby... Daring

>>530160205
Best case scenario the sword breaks and shifu mourns her sister one last time, i don't think the game can recover if we instead end up wielding the sword

>>530160205
mystery girl at the end of the PV, named Ye Shunguang in voice credits, uses the sword and gets amnesia but is strong enough in spirit to not get completely obliterated like Yijiang. she is a family member to Ye Shiyuan the NPC.

>>530160443
For me it would be kino if Shifu has to use it but is really struggling and then we help to wield it like pic rel with both siblings and Eous and an emotive ost.
Yep I'm seeing the vison, pure cinema incoming

>>530160367
The long term collab was not just for the anime, but also the various short YT animations Ufotable did thorough the years. They had to announce this collab at some point, and sooner rather than later.

Aura and Hype moments is not a sustainable story model

It is when it's with aura and hype moments I personally like and make me nostalgic

Do we even have enough time for it in 2.X

>>530156956
If that corresponds to Chapter 5 then I agree. I'm binging the story and the game went to shit starting from >>530157213 this cunt's extra chapter and kept finding ways to get worse with each successive chapter. It's impressive honestly.

>>530162085
But 2.0 did well thougheverbeit

>>530161547
Well who are the A-Rank agents in 2.1 the??

Is Ju Fufu really that good for Yixuan? I've been using Trigger in her stead, so far it kind works, I think? I could clear content, at least.

Tell me now, if this game "flopped" due to 37mi on 2.0, what would you say about a game who got 38mi on its most hyped character ever?
A game who pretended to be Genshin's competitor even. By the way, Genshin also nearly doubled that number, which is why your joke ass game doesn't even try to compete with it anymore
