Here’s the currently confirmed info:
>All the PVs (promotional videos) are real.
>Character development is tied to the Kibo, rather than having a separate upgrade system. The upgrade materials aren't complicated.
>Considering the sixth Kibo function, which has been questioned.
>It's speculated that skill upgrade materials come from retiring different Kibos. You need to capture various Kibos and convert them into materials (definitely not "slaughtering" them, just retiring), which are then used to upgrade skills and train characters.
>The Kibos in the inventory system have a pixel-art style similar to Pokémon.
>Boss fights are multi-phase, and hand/limb attacks make up a significant portion.
>The battle system has depth, including elemental counters, skill combos, team synergies, and roles. With limited time, it's hard to find an optimal build.
>The test was conducted following the actual game flow, with nearly all game systems accessible.
>Based on hints in the videos, the offline test likely included:
>[Main storyline, open-world exploration (puzzles + encounters), Kibo capture, Kibo development, team setup system, home/base system, Pokémon-style battles (PVE only), character development system (skill upgrades), boss fights]
>The content was already quite rich. It’s assumed that during actual gameplay, all game systems (except for monetization) will be available.
>Internal test feedback has been very positive.

Not even as good as Roco Kingdom World. Won't play unless they remove female MC

>>1736604
Well, maybe this will force Manjew to reconsider their life choices.
It will not lmao

>>1736604
lol all Manjuu had to do was remove the female MC and add more fanservice. Now they're so fucked.

yeah it's over for azur flopmillia
kek

>>1736604
Let's see if the mixed toilet audience gravitates to AP now that hoyoslop is directly competing with it. 300 IQ move there, Manjuu.

>>1736604
OWARI DA
The hoyodrones and mixed toilet audience won't even give AP a second look now.

>>1736604
over

Why do they all write the same?

pagsaar poomilia brothers, we are losing

>>1736650
They're correct though.

>>1736650
Because we don't have IDs here, so "they" can shitpost all they want. Janny doesn't give a shit either.

>>1736604
Oh shit I already play AL, Genshin and HSR so I have no space for another gacha

>>1735237
>he still believes this problematic design is gonna be in the game
lol, but honestly what waste that character design is 10/10

>>1736741
It can be, depends if you'll be willing to riot against Manjuu for them to make the game ML.

>>1736604
they're so petty

>>1736610
Why would they remove the female MC? I want to play a game with females and not males.

low quality bait

>>1736950
Man Love gamers don't operate on the same level as normal straight men.

>>1734916 (OP)
Literally none of that matters, the only thing that matters is if it is a watered down mixed toilet romance game or not.

>>1737007
We already know the answer for that.

>>1736604
Hahhahaha it's so fucking for Azur Flopmilia before it even started. Now they are fighting for the same crowd of Hoyoturds players after they ditched their Azur Lane players

>>1737007
They went full retarded wanting the Mihomo and Wuwatards audience, so ofc the answer for that is a yes. But now they are fucked with how saturated this marked is and Roco Kindgom coming in hot to kill them

probably the only good part of the trailer

>>1737086
>he thinks that will stay in the game
lol will 200% get censored and be replaced by spats like genshin

>>1737081
ni wonder if roco kingdom be the most succesfull this azur promillia and the new honkai shit are focusing in human shit lol nobody cares humanshit in this type of games

>>1737091
roco kingdom looks like mosnter collection game not a waifu simulator like the other two

shit generic boring designs, call me when it get cool designs like digimon

>>1737091
HOLY ESL

>Reveal that the female MC is still kept and your game is still a censored genshin clone
>Die

How do we revive Azur Promilia now?

>>1736604
The gacha field sounds like such a shitshow to dev for, especially with a giant casually making a game for every possible avenue of gacha.
The only upcoming game I can realistically see hanging on, in spite of Jewhoyo's shit, is Ananta.

>>1737106
Cancel it and make Azur Lane 2, let Genshin and Wuwa compete among themselves

>>1737088
Well yeah i have zero expectations the moment i saw them adding spats on top of pantyhose, fucking blasphemous design.

>>1737106
endure...
until it gets released.

>>1737127
man that's bad

>chinks: inevitable censorship and spat designs with the cccp

Why'd you think Ananta is special compared to the rest?

>>1737127
>spats over pantyhose
I'm getting ellen joe vibes, grim

>>1737175
Ananta's only real competition (aside from GTA obviously, since it's aiming for the anime GTA niche for some reason) is NTE. And NTE has the blemish of the first month of ToF to their name.
I'm hoping that we get public beta tests for those two this year, they're both aiming for very similar markets so it REALLY depends on which one has the better quality at the end of the day. But again, NTE is on the back foot since they left a bad first impression a while ago already, but at least there's a game to their name beforehand compared to Naked Rain I guess.

>>1737091
roco seems purely focused on monsters, and if it has even a single monster that appeals to pokefags (yes, there are a few roco mons that match this category), then pokemon fans are just going to flood that one instead of honkai
that, on top of the game being monetized only through cosmetics and being on pc is already checking off all the points people would bring up to doompost the game
honkai mon seems like it's gonna be a character locked to a mon, which is far less appealing, and the leaks said it's an autobattler gacha (no idea if it'll stay the same at release)
pokemon masters ex does the same with locking character-mon pairings and isn't that popular or profitable despite having the "pokemon" brand name attached to it
so yeah, it's only a matter of time, see if roco even makes it to global because it does have a lot of potential to be an actual competitor unlike the other monster tamers that have fallen off before it

>>1737163
The average gook ML game is good tho? Nikke is a failed coomerge that panders to normalfags

>>1737274
>The average gook ML game
Such as?

>>1737274
Wouldn't say they're *good* but at least they don't piss you off with unrelated drama or constant MC worshipping.

>>1737091
Average gacha drama monkey pecking away at his keyboard.

>last post was 15 hours ago
Is there really that little hype for this game? I was going to give it a second chance when they did that little teaser a few weeks ago and it looked like the whole spats thing was reversed. Did they bring them back?

>>1737721
All the reviews that i've seen only talk about kibo. I don't think anyone who write those are being sincere.

>>1737744
I read this thread and it seems like Kibo are the game. I don't know if I like that. I thought they were gonna be like an accessory system and you still had to work and build up your characters.

>>1737721
Most people don't care about this game anymore since they revealed they're keeping the female MC. Going by the Bilibili trailers almost 2/3 of the potential userbase stopped caring about the game already.
Now we either wait for Manjuu to stop being stupid, or for Project Witches reveal which may bury this game for good.

>>1737772
>Project Witches

>>1737772

First i've heard of it, but with how disastrous this fucking 2.5 anniversary is in Nikke I really don't have much faith in this. What kind of game is it supposed to be?

>>1737775
Idk what to hype anymore.

>>1737796
you were retarded enough to hype one for gachashit to begin with

>>1737721
What is there to talk about? It's been nearly 2 year since the first announcement and we've barely seen anything since

>>1737783
It's an urban sci-fi ARPG by Shift Up, apparently it's open world as well. We don't know anything else about it but they're supposed to reveal it either this month or the next.

>>1737173
>miniskirt over spats over thong
Genius. Hoyo should hire whoever designed this.

The male mc outfit is so tacky, can't I replace it with the original one?

>>1738958
I actually prefer the old one too, the solo levelling manwha protag doesnt really fit the cute pokemon atmosphere

>>1738958
Why cares about the male? Nobody is going to play as him

>>1738958
Yeah. The current body model and the old outfit is better.

>NINTENDO OWNS FLYING

>>1738958
>>1738961
now that I've seen the old art again, yeah I can see why people prefer one or the other.
the lightweight appearance and color scheme comes together better than I remembered.

>>1739023
That's pretty disappointing. It says Pocketpair made a compromise, but I wonder if they were ordered to make that change, or if they just caved to pressure?
>“On November 30th, 2024, we released Patch v0.3.11 for Palworld,” it said. “This patch removed the ability to summon Pals by throwing Pal Spheres and instead changed it to a static summon next to the player.
Same question as above. Now I'm curious how closely Manjuu is following this. They may be tempted to hold off on releasing AP until they know what they can get away with.

>>1739023
>riding on companion animals is only ok when Nintendo does it
How the fuck? Are they going to sue every game ever that allowed you to fly on buddies?

>>1739023
Don't forget that the underlying reason why they're suing Pocketpair is because Palworld fans taunting Pokemon. Now Nintendo is just trying everything to ruin Pocketpair.

>>1738958
you can see how manjuu had to go out of their artistic vision to force out the blue rover mc just to appease...some deranged group probably

>>1739023
kek
if you can't make better games than your competition, just sue them!
anyways, i wonder if jewtendo will go after roco kingdom, azur promilia, hoyomon... at least hoyomon will have some popularity due to it being made by hoyo, so they know they'll have some competition there

>>1739295
>going after chink companies
lol good luck with that, nintendo only has shit over palword because they're in the same country

>>1739316
this anon is right, trying to sue a Chinese company in China as a foreing is something even Nintendo won't be retarded enough to try

>>1739316
>>1739342
yeah, pocketpair should have really established in glorious china instead of staying in that nintoddler yakuza shithole with dropping birthrates

>>1739342
this anon is wrong, if manjuu wants to release their game in JP then sueing a foreign company for anti-competitive shit is super fucking easy for nintendo. Bet Japan's officials would be all over protecting Nintendo too, have to look after their own industries after all. Unless Manjuu is retarded enough not even bother releasing their game in Japan to begin with.

>>1739519
>want general audiences
>have to lay low to avoid lawsuits
love how the death of this game is getting more and more certain with each passing day

>>1734916 (OP)

I'm going to choose a male mc, but there's no possibility that the design will change to old, right? The boy's face of old is better because of the game atmosphere

Manjuu must be a complete mess internally, it's just mistake after mistake.

I think firing their SEA art director halfway through the project is already proof enough that Manjuu has no idea what the fuck they are doing

>>1740890
agreed

>>1740883
literally blue genshin

>>1740890
>firing their SEA art director
You mean Dishwasher? Unironically, it might have saved the project. Look at the art style when he was still involved, it was bland, generic and cheap. Now that he’s out, the art direction has improved significantly.

>>1739023
this wouldn't need to happen if nintendo kept itself in the pixel and 2d realm but here we are can't fix the issues they have but they will do the best they can to sue

>>1740890
>>1741069
>DISH out
Perhaps the game has a chance after all...

>>1734916 (OP)
>MC got reworked
It's an improvement. It was never the biggest issue though. The greater issue is that the dialogue is going to suffer for reason of MC sex selection being a thing at all. A lot of players feel the same way. A lot of games that do that, prove that. If that's the road they're going to take, they will really really have to go out of their way to avoid that pitfall in particular.
Don't have much faith they can do it given every other game that's done it has fumbled and kneeled to the gaystapo in some form or another. But if anyone was going to defy the expectation, Manjuu might. Azur Lane is one of the only games on the market that does at present.

>>1740883
On one hand LoL, Lmao.
On the other hand they correctly understand most Azur Lane players aren't going to switch games and selected accordingly. Still, they really should have picked a few token retards to save face.

"I was told Azur Promilia is going back to the roots, but is Manjuu really going to do that? Hard for me to say"
"Azur Promilia is still expanding its audience, but it's expanding towards perverted otaku, which is strange to see. It's also "going back to ML", which is quite bizarre"

What do we think? Is Azur Promilia back? Or is this guy just bullshitting?

>>1743017
>"going back to ML"
>still expanding its audience
The devs are so fucking retarded.

Master Lesbian

dead on arrival

>>1743017
I'm guessing Manjuu's logic is to make an open world game like Palworld to have a basic audience who likes that, then since expanding to the hoyo audience will fail, they'll instead just copy Snowbreak and Azur Lane and try to expand to the ML audience. There's a bit of evidence supporting this because Manjuu stopped neglecting their AL CCs. But it could also be all just bullshit, or Manjuu's idea of "ML" can be very different from mine or yours.

>>1743017
Two things. This is a third party saying this, and even if that's legit those statements are contradictory.

>>1743049
>they'll instead just copy Snowbreak and Azur Lane and try to expand to the ML audience.
there is nothing shown so far to suggest they'll do anything of the sort, much less so when the ratings are for literal children

The fuck is ML supposed to mean?

>>1743182
Master Love. Basically waifu pandering expression coined by extremely insecure chink incels. They also use other expressions like "mixed toilets" for games with males characters.

>>1743220
>t. mix toilet tranny player

>>1743220
Why didn't you support Tribe Nine?

>>1743241
They can't. It's currently dying with "dignity" lmao.

>>1743265
kek

>>1743182
Man Love. If your game doesn't have an effeminate male protagonist, we aren't playing it.

>>1743327
Incredible how that description only fits mix toilets trash where the protagonist can't be masculine and has a queer faggot design like gayshit impact, trannies like you always end up loving it or thinking every game it's the same as yours every time

>>1743017
Doesn't matter how hard ML trannies screech, they don't play AL because they think it's old chibishit and outdated.
And also AP would have flopped if it went full ML, since it's an oversaturated market already, established ML audiences won't drop or split their money on a new palshin impact clone full of chores.

>i-i-it doesnt matter!!!!!
One Azur PalSnowbreak coming up

>>1743854
>they don't play AL because they think it's old chibishit and outdated.
Holy mix toilet schizo rambling when the game is alive and kicking making millions for over 7 years, while your mix toilet trash just EOS
>And also AP would have flopped if it went full ML, since it's an oversaturated market
>when gayshit mix toilet clones are the actually saturated genre with at least 4 more of them coming up
Holy tranny delusions. And btw why didn't you support Tribe Nine mix toilet tranny?

>>1743868
Are you a falseflagger? no way you are this stupid, i do play AL THOUGH that's why i am saying the ML trannies never don't play AL since it always had yuri undertones.

>>1743871
I doubt he plays AL either kek

>>1743871
>Are you a falseflagger?
>yuri undertones when they dropped that in the first year after it flopped in both the shitty anime and the only character they tried to put it and never did it again and even apologized
Not only you are the only one falseflagging here, but also a newfag thinking people don't know about Azur lane. Funny how you also forgot to mention all the mix toilet saturated market with 4 more coming out and one that just EOS, and btw why didn't you supported Tribe Nine tranny?
>>1743873
>he resorts to samefag in a slow thread

How are we feeling about this games projected success with all of the new recent reveals and trailers for upcoming 2025 and 2026 gacha? At this rate it seems like there are too many games to play next year.

>>1743980
Low chance of success until they go full coom. Silver Palace will be another rival of this game.

>>1743980
I mean, every new gacha that will release will most likely only get a small portion of the market anyway.
Long gone are the days of Hoyo's monopoly over almost of the market. No one will reach those player numbers again.

NTE, Ananta, Promilia, etc., all will get a relatively decent playerbase but not Genshin level if the devs are expecting that. Hopefully they don't have crazy expectations.

>>1743987
AP is already competing with all the other harem games, it's looking very grim regardless.

>>1743980
Depends. If they change nothing about it, then this game is already dead. But if it's like the insider said and they're going back to AL roots then it has a good chance to do well since there will be no competition.

>>1744003
>all the other harem games
Anon there are no harem games on the horizon.

>>1744046
There's already too many harem games, AP will be competing with all of them.

>>1744087
such as...?

>>1744003
>>1744087
God you retards are so misguided. This is completely irrelevant compared to the actual game being good.

>>1744143
>nikke, BA, AL itself, snowbreak, gfl2
>inb4 nooo these don't count! It will SURELY steal all the players from AK, wuwa and hoyo!
Do you know what "zero sum" means?

>>1744170
It will sell on aesthetic alone, in contrast that mihoyo pokemon game looks like absolute shit.

>>1744274
It literally doesn't count. You can just auto or sweep in all of that games. It's different with Genshin/AP/WuWa that needs your full attention.

>>1744274
My point is it's still easier to tap into harem genre since even the popular ones like those you listed have glaring flaws but again manjuu is retarded. I won't be surprised if some data revealed that their company got like 30% female employees.

>>1744087
PNG slop and low effort trash are not games.
There is a reason why, despite everything, people still play Hoyoverse games.
Most people are players first, coomers second. Gameplay first, then comes monetization through selling waifus. Waifus also need to be of a decent quality, of course, otherwise the only drive for sales would be meta and powercreep, which are detrimental to the gameplay in the long run.

>>1744274
>nikke, BA, AL itself, snowbreak, gfl2
>inb4 nooo these don't count! It will SURELY steal all the players from AK, wuwa and hoyo!
>Do you know what "zero sum" means?
>nikke
Very different game, won't be a competitor
>BA
Same thing
>AL
Again same
>snowbreak
Now we are getting somewhere, but even then the game isn't doing that good
>GFL2
This is the only real competitor from the one's you posted, but the turn based gameplay is still very different.
Wuwa is the closest thing to an action based harem gacha, and although it has been ramping up it's fan service lately, it's still not up there with the likes of GFL2. Still wuwa will absolutely be the biggest competitor of these amongst the current games. Arknights probably as well when it actually releases.
The new pokemon honkai game might have overlap as well.

>>1744274
>nikke
are people still thinking its an ML game after all the yuritranny and cuckshit it tries to do?

>>1744485
Any examples? I haven't played nikke at all but everything I hear makes it sound like a very for (you) game

>>1743017
this is exactly the same as if I posted that text here and some random CN took a screenshot to share on their forums full of Chinese dudes going with
'大家怎么看?《蓝星: 旅途的赞歌》要回归了?还是这哥们纯属瞎扯?

>>1744548
Which they do, btw. It's mutual bullshittery.
>You really think someone would do that?
>Just go on the internet and tell lies?

>>1744475
So what you are telling me is that you don't really care about harem games but instead you have been waiting for hoyo/kuro/big 3d games to catter to you? lol just go play snowbreak, it won't get any better than that

>>1743854
>And also AP would have flopped if it went full ML, since it's an oversaturated market already
>literally one mainstream 3d ML game

>>1744879
>make dumb statement
>"wtf why are you guys calling me out???"
(You)

>>1744860
nta but of course no game's a 100% "AP competitor" that term's super broad, but you can still compare the different parts. and those games can definitely take a chunk of APs players just cause they're also waifu-only live service gachas, if they each take 3 mins for dailies, that shit adds up. Players might just bail on AP cause they dont have the time. It's zero sum.
And if you even look at mixed gender gachas, WuWa even though its mixed has shown way more ml and fanservice AP ever did. Then look at the pic related its fucking retarded, the elf with her bobbas out got censored by stupid spats cause manjuu wants the kiddy rating. And I'm not sure she's going to survive the censorship wave from mass reports by jealous rival companies when AP releases. Meanwhile Wuwa characters now can wear actual panties no problem, plus 9-to-1 female ratio and its pretty hard gameplay (hard for a gacha anyway) is already filtering out the undesirable playerbase. AP with their cutesy Pokemon and slice of life farming crap, we already know the devs are trying to bring in those undesirables

The retard seriously believes AP will spawn fans out of thin air that will give it money printed out of thin air.

but of course it's wuwajeet, why am i not surprised

>none of these games are in competition with AP
>give counter arguments how they could compete
>N-NO IT DOESNT COUNT ANYONE WHO DISAGREES WITH ME IS A JEET! A JEET I SAY!
Typical manjew loyal sons. Fact is AP's still rated for kids while those other games have higher ratings.

In case you didn't notice i don't support either side but you have to be retarded to think WW got the edge on AP over anything other than shameless advertising thanks to tencent funding them.

>WW got the edge on AP over anything
Yeah pretty much. Fact still holds true
>it has a higher age rating so they can be way more relaxed about not getting ccp'ed
>the new girls even wear actual panties
>devs are doubling down on (You) pandering
>meanwhile AP girls get stuck with spats because of the kid friendly rating
>and AP still has a female MC so they cant do real romance to one up other male-mc-only gachas

I haven't kept up with this, is Blumine kill?

>>1745040
The fact that it had to copy rover mc's design pretty much cements the fact that AP will be an extremely watered down ML game if it has any to begin with

Does the presence of fmc have a bad effect on this game?

You can't even sell their characters because they all look ugly as shit, squint eyes, same hair color and all that.

I'm going to choose mmc, but I don't like the design released in the 2025 pv, so should I say there's no possibility of changing it to another design?

So all the "leak" reviews from the NDA test are only talking about the Pokemon, barely anything on the girls. Makes you think what manjuu told them they could actually say, and they only talk about the Kibos... as if they don't want to give a fuck about hyping/selling the female characters.
>Character development is tied to the Kibo, rather than having a separate upgrade system. The upgrade materials aren't complicated.
>Considering the sixth Kibo function, which has been questioned.
>It's speculated that skill upgrade materials come from retiring different Kibos. You need to capture various Kibos and convert them into materials (definitely not "slaughtering" them, just retiring), which are then used to upgrade skills and train characters.
>The Kibos in the inventory system have a pixel-art style similar to Pokémon.
>[Main storyline, open-world exploration (puzzles + encounters), Kibo capture, Kibo development, team setup system, home/base system, Pokémon-style battles (PVE only), character development system (skill upgrades), boss fights]
Not a single line about any playable girls at all, like at least say if they look good or how detailed the models are or something. Seems pretty much the game is Kibo-first and waifu-second.
I don't have much hope for it to be waifu-focused, looks like the devs love cute monsters more than waifus and For (You) elements... And proof is they didn't even bother to design the self-insert protag, just literally copy paste the MC from Wuwa for fuck's sake.

>>1745074
I guess that's why that insider said they're "expanding to the perverted otaku audience", because kibos by themselves aren't gonna sell.

>>1745047
Blumine is still alive and the reason ML tards are still shitting up the threads as of late.

>>1745074
That's good, Manjuu wants to make a game, you just want an emotional support supplement to compensate for your lack of interpersonal relationships, just go play an eroge, a real dating sim or just watch porn.

>>1745074
This is Manjuu they'll shit out hot chicks one way or another, it's their specialty. If you're only concerned about the girl and none of the gameplay, then go play AL or the newest hot garbage.

obvious tranny is obvious

>>1734916 (OP)
The Palworld killer......
The Pokemon slayer.....
The Wuwu dethroner......
The Genshin raper.....

>>1738958
That's Marth Blanco from Fire Emblem x SMT

>>1739023
I hope Mihoyo implements it and proceeds to buttrape Nintendo at court with their own chink lawyers.

>>1745074
Rather than worrying about the gender war, I'm a bit confused at the game
The gameplay is based around the animals? But the animals are free while the characters are gacha?
How are they going to force the money from the players then?

>>1745190
>chink lawyers

>>1745313
Same way a piss easy game Genshin managed to dish out billions at start.
By being an enjoyable game and actually having millions of players on a good side.
Goodwill is everything when it comes to gachas.
Manjuu brand isn't defiled yet, so they can manage to monetize through pure cosmetics and premiums. I suspect premium would boost drop rates and or craft rates.
Also, they are the merch selling company. Kibos are highly merchandisable commodities, literally designed to be easily turned into plushies and such.
They just need to create a pleasing games and suppress drama. They are not in Mihoyo position where only meta characters sell, because players hate their guts and don't spend unless literally pressed into.

>>1745313
How do they monetize AL?

>>1745320
Yes

>>1745373
Skins. Just by doing dailies you get more than enough rolling currency (cubes) and gold to craft new units. I used to buy the monthly but stopped in like 2021 (I played in JP server) because I had too much gold and cubes. They also introduced a battle pass with a skin and cute weapon skins. Also there are some dorm furniture that you buy with the premium currency.
There is some QoL stuff like more dock space for botes and equipment, but I don't think it makes that much money compared to spending for skins.

>>1745436
>Skins.
It will never work for AP. Players don't really want to spend money on 12+ skins.

>>1745508
We know that, skins only work on colle type games, I can't imagine gfl2 or nikke do that much money on skins compared to rolls.

>>1745533
>skins only work on colle type games
It's working for LaDS but it's a softcore porn game just like AL, so basically skins only works if you go the fanservice route. AP doesn't want to do fanservice so I doubt they'll try the skin monetization route.

>>1745074
cool, manjuu can go bankrupt faster, another tribe 9 trannies will shill and will go EoS

>>1745074
But they did design him, and then people like you cried about it so they turned him into generic self-insert.

Which do you prefer, the mmc shota face or the mature face?

>>1745740
Wuwa protagonist looks out of place. Shota was shit too, but at least he looked like he belonged in a setting of AP.
They need to redesign him proberly. Switching between Genshin and Wuwa protagonists is lazy and lame.

>>1745740
Both shit. Just let people customize their male MC

>>1745753
That's even worse. It's fine how it is. Rework the femMC into a unit and call it a day. Everyone is happy. Except faggots. But they were going to be unhappy people either way.

>>1745740
Helmet MC

>>1745346
That sounds easier said than done, honestly.
But I guess that if different characters don't impact much if at all the gameplay factor, then they can just focus on giving them as much appeal without worrying about kneecapping some character's usage potential because of balance?

>>1745848
The majority is already happy though.

>>1745998
the second trailer views say otherwise

>>1745916
There is 3 major pieces that will determine AP's meta.
Characters - this is payed content and thus cannot be changed post sale.
Kibos - obtained through gameplay.
Gear (including weapons) - obtained through gameplay.
2 out of 3 factors are fluid, so even the same three character party can and will be adjusted in performance.
Because AP is much less gacha heavy, its balance can be adjusted at any time without much drama, because introducing new free content is not the same as powecreeping payed weapons and gear.

Am I the only one hyped for this game just purely for the exploration? Everyone is talking about gender war bullshit or gacha bullshit or gameplay bullshit. For me the appeal of this game is that it looks fucking beautiful as an anime fantasy setting. It's like Genshin but doesn't look like shit and that's all I ever wanted.

>>1746121
This is the wrong place to connect with people that want to play games for gameplay.

cbt1 when?

>>1746121
You pay too much heed to resident schizos.
This 'everyone' has never planned to play this game in the first place.
It's a comfy game for chill people.

>
lol

>>1746121
The little they shown off of their opening setting looks exactly like Genshin's opening setting. Of all the improvements the environment isn't one of them.

>>1746533
The water and lighting alone in this game shits on anything Genshin has ever done in 5 years

>>1746668
Well, of course
That shit is 5 years old running on a customized unity build, which Hoyo refuses to update (probably to not break it up and keep the specs on check)
Every new gacha is running on way better and newer engines now, in fact, looking worse than genshin would be disappointing

>>1746675
So you admit that the environments in AP do look better than Genshin?

>>1746121
Too early to be hyped, but nice if they pull it off.

>>1746121
yeah you're putting way to much stock into the 2 or 3 autists that care about whatever shit most of the last 50 posts were

>>1746742
having "better" graphics does not make the environment design and overall world feel to be better. there are a shit load of mmos better looking than wow that fails to match up with its overall world feel

Have they deleted the female MC yet?

>>1746742
He's not me. I meant the environmental design. It's open world 101.
>Here's a grassy plain.
>See that cliff in the background artistically pointing to center? You can climb that.
>16 TIMES the walking

>>1747099
No, and it's confirmed that they aren't going to. Also, it's hard to tell if it's for publicity or it's the final designs, but as with most CN games they have censored some stuff (no more panties, no more sideboob), but they compensated by giving most girls bigger thighs and boos, and wider hips.
For example in azur lane for the streams and commercials they show the censored versions of the characters but in the game they release the uncensored ones (because of television and advertisement posters regulations).
In any case don't expect the game to show bare crotch or tits (at most they'll have spats or cover the tits with thin fabric), or for character to have panties, for me that is a deal breaker but if you don't mind you do you.
We still don't know what the relation with the character is going to be, if there's going to be an affection system, if there are going to be dates or hangouts, if there is going to be pandering or just "you are my best friend!", if it's going to be implemented in the main story or just as side content, etc...

>>1747180
We have riding and flying with the kibos though, right?

>>1747185
Talking about the environment not the traversal mechanics. Keep up, anon.

>>1747188
But the post mentioned "16 TIMES the walking" as it were a negative, which isn't going to be in promilia, so that environmental design can be more open with bigger distances not being an issue, or more vertical designs since you can fly.

>>1747183
>if there's going to be an affection system, if there are going to be dates or hangouts, if there is going to be pandering or just "you are my best friend!", if it's going to be implemented in the main story or just as side content, etc...
Honestly asking, is there any relatively well-known CN gacha post-Genshin with dating mechanics and fanservice but is still 12+?

>>1747196
>16 TIMES the walking
It was a Todd joke, anon. It's not necessarily a negative. It's just saying "this is your standard open world opening area grassy flatland."
The original point is that the opening environment looks like Genshin's opening environment. This isn't exclusive to these two games. The grassy plains with like one major city and two or so small villages has been the defacto RPG baseline for decades.

>>1747202
Not that I know of. Several have an 'affection' bar for characters, but all it does it unlock voicelines or backstory. None of them have fanservice, pandering, or proper dating. I would argue that outside azur lane or snowbreak no CN, KR or JP have all of the above, 12+ or not.

What do you think of mmc's current outfits? Do you like the 24 year old designs or the ones from the pv released in April?

>>1748263
New body type is better, old outfit was better

>>1748341
This

I'm dissatisfied with mmc's eyes in the pv because they are too small, what do you all think? I want them to be bigger like boys

>>1748389
dont like it looks better how they did it

>>1748389
In that image his eyes are 80% of his face, don't know what you are on about.

>>1748496
like this

>>1748583
He looks way too young and too cute in that old design, not fit for a cool MC. Cute enough as an unit that you would roll for, but not as a self insert. Just like that, you outed yourself as a faggot that likes young boys.

>>1748612
I am cute so I would've self-inserted as the cute version tho

>>1748612
I'm sorry, but since the fmc is young, I thought maybe the mmc should be around the same age

I don't think this year's release will be possible, when do you think you'll do the cbt?

This is either going to be the best or worst 3d gacha ever made. I can't see it going any other way.

>>1750478
As if there aren't a million shitty 3D games out there.

>>1748583
He looks like he takes Kibo cock on the regular

It's simple: either Manjew removes the female protagonist and make the game coomer like Azur Lane, or the game is dead on arrival.

Sorry for the similar post. Very serious, is it unlikely that mmc's design will change from new to old? First of all, the response to voting theory is split in half

we dont know shit they went radio silent and the music composer said its coming out this year
they're either course correcting hard and not saying anything or they gave up outright

>>1734916 (OP)
is the gacha generous like azur lane or 50/50 bullshit? I wont touch if the latter

>>1751938
Who the fuck knows
The gameplay is based around the not!pokemons so the gacha characters shouldn't be "roll this shit or get bent" tier at least.

>>1751951
still not supporting garbage gacha rates. if people like eating shit thats on them. that said Im totally fine with cosmetic monetization.

>>1746121
You are not, ML cucks are the very vocal and annoying extreme minority fixated in a non issue.

>>1751585
very unlikely, we are stuck with blue rover

>>1752050
All they need is to change haircut and the clothing and we'll be set ugh

>>1751585
It can and very likely to change. The fact that they charge it to rover mk. II is a proof in itself.

>two months since they stopped their drip marketing
>over one month since their second trailer
>no more news other than the rumor from that one shanghai leaker
Hopefully it's true that the game is going back to its AL roots and female MC is gone, otherwise all Manjuu is doing is making people care even less about their game.

You keep coping so hard kek, back to snowbreak.

Is Manjuu's internal civil war over? Most of their urgent hires are now gone. They might be going full steam ahead with development.

>>1752725
Ohhh cool, that means the game can come out before the end of 2026. I do have a strong feeling most of those hires are straight out of college, Kuro was also doing some recruitment on students. Maybe the fresh blood will do them good?

I want a character of Terara's body shape with long white hair and white eyes, but no matter how much I email majuu, it's useless, right?

>>1753546
Make a commission of how you want the character to look (should be less than 200 dollars from a popular artist), hope that it becomes popular enough for people to start doing fanart of it, put her in doujins and fangames, etc. THEN send it to manjuu stating that you can give them the design for free and to use it since it's popular.
This already happened with block rock shooter, so it's not like there isn't any precedent.
Good luck!

For mmc's design, the likes and dislikes of new and old are divided in half. How do you think Majuu will produce mmc's design

>>1756276
I think they will go with Rover. The best thing though is probably release a (free) skin where the MMC can have the old design and FMC gets some cool jacket or something.

It's funny how since AP's first reveal and now a bunch of similar Genshin-likes have been announced and many seem to be coming out before AP, some even have creature collecting as well.
They're all a little different in terms of asthetics, tone and gameplay but they're all still open or semi open world anime style action RPG's with a character swap mechanic.
Right now the one thing that makes AP unique in the genre, and at this point it makes AP the only unique game within the whole genre, is that it's a girls only gacha game. For all the retarded doomposting over not having guys this ended up being AP's saving grace.

>>1759860
>this ended up being AP's saving grace.
It's the main reason why I'm still here.

why is there a need to censor these games? Just make it 17+ like CODM and not 12+. Just pure greed.

>>1759921
Just do a BA and have an all ages winnie hut jr version and a real version.

>oh good new--
>nevermind its just some faggot replying to his 5 day old shitpost

>>1759860
Pretty sure what makes it stand out is the Palworld elements instead of being a straight Genshin clone.

>>1759921
That greatly hurts sales, since only 12 or 14 (don't remember) can be featured on app stores frontpages. I know you want to think that we are the ones that contribute the most to sales, but in reality it's normalfags that download the game on a whim after seeing it on an add or the front storepage.
Not only that, some games have changed rating to 18 in china and korea, and still got hit with censoring, so in reality it doesn't mean anything.

>>1759968
STAR DIVE: MONGIL looks almost like Azur Promilia and it has some sort of partner monster feature and Hoyo already has a similar game in the works as well.
There will be at least 2 more games with monster partner mechanics. And there are 2 more whose names I can't even remember out there as well too so make that at least 4.
But all of them feature male characters, only Azur Promilia is focused on girls only.

>>1759987
AP has way more competition now that when Manjuu announced it. They need to stand out somehow or it'll turn into another Infinity Nikki.

>>1760014
Manjuu just needs to do a livestream showing a public beheading of the female MC and the hype for the game will come back.

>>1760031
No need to go that far. Just show the male player character fucking her.

>>1760039
Just make MMC and FMC interact with each other and it'll cleanse this game from unwanted element.

>>1760054
Genshart's sublings are separate people and interacting with each other. Did that filtered out unwanted element?
Devs are in for omnipandering and selfcensorship. They are already prepared a knife to backstab you and your expectations.

>>1760233
>Comparing mixed toilet with all female cast game
Retard bro...

>>1760039
I support this decision.
>>1760233
>They are already prepared a knife to backstab you and your expectations.
I guess that explains why they've been pushing fanservice in AL lately, they just want to milk their former audience dry.

>>1760054
The mentally ill man love fags? They'll be here until the lame twink MC is removed.

>1760264
Lmao. Look at this tranny. Is it not enough to shit up gacha drama thread?

>>1760054
>"muh MMC cannot FUCK the girls if there's a female protagonist too" twink self inserting fat virgins still mad the FMC exists

>>1760766
isn't that the same event where they showcased nothing but kibos and pvs

>>1760781
Last year, they just showed the same announcement PV.
They sold merch: about 20% female character merch and 80% Kibou merch. The character merch sold out in the morning, and by the end of the day, there was still plenty of unsold Kibou merch.
The only new thing was two cardboard with two new characters.

>>1760783
>about 20% female character merch and 80% Kibou merch
But why?

>>1760879
Because Manjuu is ran by a retarded woman.

>>1760886
I mean was ran*. Surely they've realized they can't keep being retarded.

>>1760879
They're overestimating their popularity. Even Genshin who open the floodgates to normie sphere is still smaller than Fortnite.
Manjuu or gacha playerbase is still mostly comprised of people who want to play anime games and care about the characters more than the monsters. Honestly, as a fan of the monster-taming genre, I mostly don't care about the monsters and care more about collecting (the exception being the Digimon franchise).

>>1760908
Pokemon is bigger than any and all gacha combined.
Cute magical animals mog anime waifus in popularity. That's not an overestimation it's a fact.
If they wanted to attract some mainstream attention the kibos are the best option. Not saying they should neglect their base core, the girls are still going to be the safest investment for the fans that will show up first.
But they haven't entered that phase of the marketing yet.

>>1760947
>Pokemon
How big are the pokemon clones?

>>1760954
Almost nothing. The better ones (Palworld) are being sued and red taped into irrelevance. Nintendo has fuck you money and is going on a warpath for anything that even vaguely resembles Pokemon in their ambitions to be Japanese Disney.

>>1761075
I mean, there was digimon and monster rancher and probably more stuff, but none of them really got big, with digimon still being the biggest one probably.
It's similar with MMOs where everyone wanted to be the next wow, but in the end, all of them failed miserably. Being a clone rarely is a good thing, you surely will be not as big as the thing you copied. You kinda need to add something new to it to become your own thing (and then people will copy you if you become big enough), but that rarely succeeds.

Brother that's a lot of exposition on shit that doesn't matter. Azur Promilia is in a rough spot given the nature of the market right now and their inability to read the room. Let's leave it at that.

soon it's go time. First come first serve for this genre and of course make sure the hoyoclone won't eos your game.

I don't understand why I changed it to rover when I liked the mmc of the boy's face released in 2024

>1762043
Stfu, snowbro300. No one asked about your falseflag opinion.

Just like with the two trailers, there is also a huge drop in engagement when you compare the two bilibili world announcements. Roughly a 50~60% drop, meaning AP has lost at least half its potential playerbase since its announcement.

If Manjuu does not change direction, then there's no hope for this game.

>>1762043
Everyone other than schizos agrees

Perhaps they should show more of the actual game

>>1763716
it's over before it even began....

>>1763841
that would be for the best honestly
but they could impress by doing a 180 and listening to the ML bros
going to be the biggest slap in the face and subsequent flop or the biggest turnabout since snowbreak
no in between

>>1763844
Snowbreak is a flop

>>1763716
>Roughly a 50~60% drop, meaning AP has lost at least half its potential playerbase since its announcement.
>If Manjuu does not change direction, then there's no hope for this game.
Yeah it has nothing to do with the fact it was like 2 years ago they announced it and haven't done shit since

the harem trannies here can't just let them make the game they want to make lmao. you want male mc only, just go play snowbreak.

>>1764259
They can make the game they want, just don't expect the Azur Lane playerbase to support it.

>>1764278
if they wanted to cater to the azur lane trooner playerbase they would've just made azur lane 2.0. i doubt they care as much as you hope.

>>1764283
Well their game can flop at ease then.

>>1764329
>game that is never coming out already broke tranner's brain

>>1764278
The Azur Lane playerbase will continue to support AL which supports this.

>'harem trannies'
>tranners
Is this that thing where the worst insult you can come up with for your boogie man is what you actually are? Because you sound like a faggot and your shits all retarded.

Since there are both mmc and fmc, is it hard to expect azurlane's love, marriage or something like that?

>>1734916 (OP)
uma musume global next week...

>>1764523
Xe/xim is not very smart, cut them some slack.

>>1764609
They want the modern audience bro, just move on if you're looking for romance, they need to recoup development costs. Just think of this game as another genshin but with kibos

People at Bilibili world will be able to test the game.

Boobs have also gotten bigger.

>>1766676
Pantsu status? Pandering status?

Compared to last year's BW, this time there's actually merchandise of the girls instead of just the Kibos. I guess Manjuu is learning.

>>1766687
No idea but you should assume it's still a 12+ game with both MCs.

>>1766688
>this time there's actually merchandise of the girls instead of just the Kibos
Thank christ, how is manjuu this retarded. You can like a girl right away from the design alone, that is very hard for monster-like creatures. Usually people need time to warm up to the little fuckers, like Agro from shadow of the colossus or something. Unless they have a human-like design like the gato sexo from pokemon, people won't give a fuck about the kibos.

>>1766687
>Pantsu status?
You still see a lot of characters wearing black shorts in the new trailer.

>>1766697
Personally I was coping that it's for the publicity law that you can't show panties or cleavage on adds (japan has the same regulation), but these CBT tells us nothing anyways, since even genshin and zzz had panties on them but were censored before release.

>>1766715
True.

>>1766676
> Boobs have also gotten bigger.
Dropped

Wasn't it like 2 years since it was first announced?

>>1766901
One year and 3 or 4 months I think

>>1766810
That's the norm for manjuu. I don't have the image of an ex manjuu employee going to work for another gacha company and sharing porn on his first day on the company discord, because it was the norm on manjuu.

>>1766965
That sounds ridiculous but also believable

>>1766688

They really just don't care.

>>1769544
They really went full 360 on azur lane, pre-AP, they would never have shown a crotch-shot like that. It would have been a tease shot that might barely show some pantsu. They really want to distract coomers away from AP

Now this is just sad. This game has seen such a huge decline already.

>>1770544
it's so fucking owari da...

>>1770544
Normie isn't a devout fan. If your game doesn't have a hype(marketing, etc.), good quality(gameplay/story), then it'll be abandoned by them.

You can easily go to the latest trailer and download the 2K version and check frame by frame and zoom in as well, they look like panties to me.

>>1770883
Yeah currently she's the only one with panties. But I'm sure Manjuu is going back to ML so the other girls will get uncensored!

Genshin and zzz also had pantsu before release on their CBT1, but got removed in CBT2 onwards. I'll believe it a month after release, ton of chinese games have been censored after release and they start pre-censoring their characters afterwards.

>>1771047
I expect them to remove it, they probably need to undergo review again from the censorship board when they release. Maybe after the game flops they will reintroduce pantsu

>>1771261
The game isn't going to have any pantsu, fanservice or pandering, just a bit of cleavage. After it flops a couple of months later it's going to introduce actual fanservice and pandering. This is done to keep the game out of the CCP view and avoid additional censorship (like it happened to wuwa). Once the hype dies down they can return to the original vision.

>>1771261
>>1771333
Or they could do what Snowbreak does and just not censor it and any time the CCP tells them to censor something they add in a toggle that immediately reverts it.

Honestly, this was one of the biggest fuckups in all of gacha history.

The drama over the female MC was actually the start of the ML movement, where many male players were unsatisfied with big gacha games being mixed toilets, and wanted a company to fully cater to them. All Manjuu had to do is to listen to them and they would instantly already have a big playerbase licking their game. They would have grabbed the right to define what ML is, and while AP was in development could direct the unsatisfied players to Azur Lane, enjoying increased revenue. It would have been a big win to Manjuu.

Instead, they just kept silent for too long and let Snowbreak take over ML. They allowed Bilibili to fuck them over, and made male players their enemies. I don't know why Manjuu never did anything, I suppose like in many companies, Manjuu was already in the process of being conquered by feminist women which paralyzed them, and probably were threatened by Bilibili to boot.

Now, most of their potential audience is gone and the game's reputation is ruined. Even if Manjuu were to make the game ML now, they would still have many difficulties ahead of them, they'd have to be very bold and have very a lot of marketing to make people care about their game again. To think that the AP thread here once got to 3000 posts, but now can barely manage a couple posts a day...

And I can only say that I'm still not very optimistic for them, because they don't seem to know what they're doing.

Ever since AP started making posts again Manjuu has only shown they don't know what they're doing. Their drip marketing stopped after just three days, I don't know if on purpose or if due to Reddit drama, which made the second trailer's release come out of nowhere; talking about the second trailer, it clearly was only released to attract investment, they barely marketed it, forgot to post it on their Douyin until over a week later, and haven't even changed the trailer on their fucking official website; at first they completely ignored their AL CCs and only had the neutral/ex-Genshin CCs advertise the game, but now it's the opposite: thus far only AL CCs have been allowed to make videos about their testing experience, which is something you absolutely should not do if you want to expand to a wider audience. They have also removed their other two trailers from their official youtube channel (maybe because of the Reddit meltdown over the female MC), which is utterly bizarre.

At least they seem to have hired actual PR now. Back when Bilbili fucked them over running an ad with a feminist slogan, they just stayed silent and never said anything. But now, when Bilibili deleted one of their posts, instead of staying silent which they could've easily done, they quickly apologized, blamed Bilibili for the mistake, and made amends. Doing this certainly means Bilibili has no chance of being publisher of this game anymore.

Now, with their BW coming up, we'll have to see if they've changed the game's direction or if Manjuu still insists on committing suicide.

>>1771675
>I don't know why Manjuu never did anything
It's simple, Genshin's first month revenue alone completely blew past AL's total revenue across its entire lifespan. So why wouldn't they want to attract the Genshin audience?

>>1771663
>>1771675
That they don't know what the fuck they are doing is obvious. The only other project they've worked on is AL, and while that is stable now, they've had a million fuckups over the years even recently, like the Anson incident.
It's pretty clear that some higher up/investor is leading the project and as always they want to cast the net as it were to as wide an audience as possible. Do they want cute pets? Do they want cute girls? Sexy girls? Pandering? Shipping? Exploration? Combat? They themselves don't know. At least other projects like wuwa or snobble got to a clear objective and pointed the game in that direction (combat/pandering respectably).

>>1771695
Yes, but Genshin came out at a time during COVID, when it was an unique flagship title, people were stuck in their homes with nothing else to play, and the opposition to mixed toilets hadn't started yet. The market is very different now, Genshin itself isn't even 10% of what it used to be, and its clones are doing even worse. Trying to be the next Genshin Impact now is like companies trying to make the next FGO or the next Monster Strike.

>that huge wall of cope
nobody gives a shit about the fem mc, only a small insignificant screechy minority

New AP info from the drama general >>1771746

>>1771759

>>1771761
BTW I think this is an older version they used for their internal beta a couple months back. Looks like Manjuu has another huge drama on their hands.

>that baby bitch cope
everyone thats going to actually fund the game gives a shit about the fem mc issue its going to make or break the game and they're not doing themselves any favors by ignoring the issue even if they do ultimately fix it

you are brown and poor lmao don't expect me to believe you will "fund" anything

>>1771767
You're right, everyone that's going to fund the game wants a female protagonist.

I want to choose mmc, but I'm worried that it will come out as a recently released PV costume. I'd like the production team to change the costume and face

>>1771792
They could just let you change between different costumes like Snowbreak.

Blumine status?

>>1771729
I agree, but I think every Genshin clone game will died regardless(including WuWa). They demand huge money+resources and it's not feasible considering many of Genshin clone game to come(you can only pick one of them because they demand much of your time). And because the nature of FOMO, it's unlikely to gain more players after they passed their release date, so their playerbase will start shrinking. Genshin still survive because they've got big playerbase during COVID. Smaller and more niche gacha game has better chance to survive.

>>1771805
Still there bro, this is an older version. Even IF they removed her (and that's one big if), it wouldn't appear in this version. Anyway if Manjuu won't remove her then I want the leaker to just upload the game to everyone, fuck Manjuu.

so they still keep femc...

>>1771805
BLUMINE WON
Now if only there's confirmation of dual protagonist so I can dick her instead

Wait people here are so gay they DISLIKE having a female MC?

>>1771816
lmao no, they want genshartwaves audiences why would they bother implement dual protags

>>1771815
Old version leak. We don't know yet. They haven't said anything. Still that means an unfinished version of the game is in the wild. That's a big deal by itself. Someones head is going on the chopping block.

>>1771818
not here, but here >>1767855

>>1771826
Just to show how high the morale in the team kek.

>>1771816
Won't happen. It'll destroy the lore.
>>1771818
I want to date her, not playing as her, transbian sister.

>>1771844
She's a video game character anon, you can't "date" her

>>1771837
I don't think it has anything to do with morale. There's not much money to be made from leaking something like this, it's not like AP is some super hyped game. We know Manjuu has had an internal civil war, so I'd speculate some unhappy woman employee leaked it, maybe even Bilibili is involved. I wonder what's going to happen at Manjuu internally.

Retards really think they would ditch the female MC and alienate all the male players that make up the majority of the gacha userbase for these games?

>>1771851
you arent the majority tranny

>>1771845
So true, chad. Imagine playing video game. What a loser. We're going to gym in our spare time and learning new real life skill. There's no time to waste with consumptive hobby.

that's not how cutscenes work

>>1771851
And they're alienating 50% of potential playerbase with no male characters. Your point being?
>>1771857
Yeah. I bet they will change their direction in the middle like GFL2(adding romance and power fantasy) after they've failed.

>>1771848
Could be a stealth marketing for BW.
At least it's one step closer towards knowing luruka's schrodinger pantsu.

>>1771851
Sorry sis but trannies like you are busy buying HRT pills

guys it's so over for AP
the game isn't even out so there's no playerbase and no content but among the people who hype up games in a chinese forum it's not doing well so it is OVER IT'S SO OVER AP IS DEAD FOREVER

the only reason an employee would leak an extremely unfinished build of a game barely anyone cares about anymore is if said employee is a childless, mentally ill roastie who's unhappy that "her game" is going the snowbreak route and doesn't care about throwing her life away as long as it means she gets to sabotage the project

Looking at this picture, I don't think mmc's outfit will change. It's a shame because the older version was better

>>1771807
>Smaller and more niche gacha game has better chance to survive.
And your stupid AP will also die because it's a Genshin caliber project, MLtranny

Is that all what leaked?
A webm and 4 screenshots that don't really show anything new?

>>1772030
the guys who leaked those will probably leak more stuff in the upcoming days. but maybe they just don't care about it anymore already.

>1772029
You shouldn't let DOA and unreleased game rent-free in your head bro, lmfao. Imagine seething about unreleased game.

>>1772026
>snowbreak route
I fucking wish but lol lmao

>>1772026
It wouldn't be the first time.

So surely all the gay people here that doesn't want a female MC will fuck off once the game releases... right?

>>1772350
Oh hell, I posted it wrong. I was just asking if there was any chance that the design would be rolled back with old mmc

>>1772309
Not happening.
It was funny how the discussion about the game goes from "farewell gayshit" to "no ML?" overnight.
>>1772365
What old design? There's no model of mmc made from his old design, dude's clearly an afterthought.

>>1772412
I liked the boyish look when the game was first released, but I don't like it because I feel like I imitated the main character of WooWa. Sorry

>>1771663
>To think that the AP thread here once got to 3000 posts
I've never seen anything like it, of course it could only get that high because the board is so slow but still it was absolutely insane seeing the crazy hype of that first trailer reveal. Can't believe they squandered that.

retards finally realized that it wasn't going be a porn game like they initially deluded themselves into thinking it would be

Leaks doko

>>1771663
>Honestly, this was one of the biggest fuckups in all of gacha history.
no there are worse fuck ups. Manjuu could've bounced back if they just focused on getting the game out like NTE is doing, and not trying to appease every audience possible. None of this matters until the game is released, but all they're doing is shooting themselves in the foot and losing their potential audience to the next wave of gachas that are going to release (endfield, NTE, DNA, and so on)

Yeah, I know that there's a woman who plays game with female only character like AL or HI3, but it's not a big number. No male character will still forced AP to choose niche audience.

>>1772862
Femcels are obviously undesirables for the game like AP. Not all female players are femcels.

Sometimes I wonder if it's satire when I see a post brimming with SEA brainrot to such a degree.

Man is the power in the field.

You've got it backwards. The female who will play this game is femcel. And their numbers are small.

Not even worth talking to (you), shitposter-kun. This will be the last 'reply' to you.

>>1773056
Manjuu doesn't want you in their games. No males. Period. Your opinion is irrelevant, the devs themselves denied you openly when there was a leak a year ago. Manjuu doesn't want gender wars in their community, simple as that.

>doesn't want gender wars
>make femc
big think

>>1773087
True. That's why there's no need for FMC.

>>1772862
if they are really going for a niche audience then they failed miserably

I'll only play this game if it gives me uncensored lolis.

https://cunnyx.com/promiliaintel/status/1824883995085054288

>>1773098
Even that you wouldn't be able to achieve, femcel. Nothing you say will ever be listened by the devs, because they know you are their community enemy.

So just what the fuck is going on at Manjuu that they managed to get their entire game leaked? They've always been a pretty confidential company, AL doesn't even have any insiders. Last time we even got AP leaks was because some female employee was mad that the male characters got removed. Does this mean that this time Blumine got removed and some girl leaked the game out of pure spite? Otherwise I see no reason someone would do this.

>>1773104
There's no other choice. It's not because AP itself, but because other games will take the wider audience.
>>1773124
So true, transxister! Female is our enemy!

>>1773143
I don't think that it's that dangerous. We'll see this in BW later after all.

>>1773143
I'm not saying this applies to AP, but a lot of times devs leak to build hype, attract investors by building buzz around the game, though i doubt this is the case this time. No one seems to really care either which is grim for manjuu. I guess we'll know the truth if manjuu tries to litigate and dmca leaks and get the leakers imprisoned.

>>1773169
hard to care about ap with a market this oversaturated, it would have gotten even less buzz if it was ML

>>1772862
1. Vtubers are women that play male-oriented games to entertain their male audience.
2. Hardcore female anime fans, that cosplay or draw fan art like female characters because anime men/boys are not the focus in most anime, and the typical moe aesthetic ever-present in modern anime is optimized for drawing girls. Anime boys simply suck, that's not just something I personally think because I'm a man, it's an objective fact.
These 2 demographics are the reason BA has more women playing than a mixed cast game like WuWa, and AP is banking on attracting these people.
Dunno what's so hard to understand.

>>1773211
He's mad that the pixels on their screen won't be fucking the male character (who isn't him btw).

>vtubers are women

>>1773211
And how many that kind of woman population?
Dunno what's so hard to understand.

>>1773395
This many apparently.

>>1737173
Latest leaks show that they're still considering what to do with the girls' underwear. There are 2 options, they are trying to go as close to pantsu as they can or there's going to be a censored and uncensored version of the game, just like with Azur Lane.

Why are you using these numbers for BA, this is after most male players ran away to join the ML movement when Yostar fucked them over with the Mahjong Souls collab. It's like using the Path to Nowhere numbers when a lot of men quit the game after Infold sided with female players.

>>1773444
>no reply

>Path to Nowhere (who even knows or cares about that shit)
back to gacha drama, schizo

>>1773427
>they are trying to go as close to pantsu as they can or there's going to be a censored and uncensored version of the game
For the AP case it's just not possible. They can make an uncensored version for the global audience but with only a 12+ rating in CN they can't make a separate uncensored one for their mainland audience. And you know CN players won't be happy if they don't get some special treatment. It's 2025 not 2015 anymore.

>>1773504
Azur Lane is already censored in China and uncensored everywhere else and they aren't rioting, the fact that they made so to get the uncensored version players just need to edit a .txt file helps I guess.
CN censorship even disables some shipgirls to become unobtainable, changes the names of all the shipgirls from a certain faction, deleted some VAs due to drama, etc. aside for the obvious censored skins.

>>1773508

>>1773759
>Is AP an open world game?
No, it's instance-based game.

>>1773735
Kek. It's obvious that xhe is samefagging. This must be the same troon that samefagging in Gacha drama thread.

What's the point in arguing over Blumine? An entire fucking early build of the game got leaked, I don't even know if this has happened before in the chinese gacha industry. A company known for their confidentiality had a massive fucking leak. This can only mean either of two things: some braindead high-ranked roastie got so angry that Blumine was removed she leaked the game into the wild as a final fuck you to the project, or Manjuu's civil war has gotten so chaotic and working conditions worsened so much that employees are now adopting a "just let it all burn" mentality. Either a new ML game will be born, or a mixed toilet will be aborted. In both cases it's a decisive ML victory.

So I suggest any ML brothers who may still care about this game to just save up their energies for the upcoming victory celebration.

>>1773775
If an entire build got leaked then why do we only have five blurry screenshots?

>>1773508
>CN censorship even disables some shipgirls to become unobtainable
They reverted that, they just don't show them as available drops when they're farmable (for example the foxes) and those that were gacha only like Taihou are available for free every anni or LNY.

???

>>1773775
There are other options, like they submited their game build to showcase in BW and the staff there leaked it due to a femoid seething... and are we even sure an early build was leaked if at all? maybe it's just the fotage submited to BW that is getting leaked by them, and the leaker/provider just tag it like a build leak to maximize damage to Manjuu

>>1773798
Tell me you're a tourist without telling me you're a tourist.

>>1773803
It's probably not the BW build because Shalle's portrait is using old art. I don't think a BW build even exists yet anyway, it's still 12 days until the event and they're probably still working on it, besides letting BW staff have access to your game build sounds like an obvious security risk neither Manjuu or Bilibili would be willing to do.

>>1773798
It's just another mentally ill snowbreak fag from gacha drama, he already made the same post there.
We have at least 2 schizos from there crossposting, if you see any mention of "ML", disregard immediately.

Nah fuck that, rushing the game out just to get it out is a recipe for disaster. Path of Exile 2 did that and they wasted all the goodwill a launch gets and it's not even technically out yet.

The longer it takes the better the game needs to be, and at some point this is just not achievable anymore.

They need to release in Japan, retard. That's why that other anon said they'd be at the mercy of the Chinese server otherwise. Maybe global and they'd be fine in the US but global always earns a pittance compared to CN and JP. To lose the JP market would be catastrophic.

>>1776252
Why would Nintendo do it in the first place, Lil' bro? They're going after Palworld because it's obviously copying Pokemon (from the design standpoint).

>still can't romance femc
yawn

>>1776222
That is not pixel art.

>>1776274
ok

Looking at the field effects, this picture might actually be from a build that's newer than the second trailer's. Almost all of the other leaked images are from significantly older versions since they use old HP bars/damage numbers.

>>1776237

>>1776256
>>1776316

>>1776256
jeses fuck i knew 4chan wasn't the bastion of intelligence but fuck man...

>>1776572
Oh no. Some retard guy pulled ad hominem on me, so he must be right.
Yeah, you're right, Lil' bro. Nintendo will sue AP like how they've sue Genshin because they're copying BOTW.

>>1776577
nta but nintendo goes feral when it's about pokemon mostly, I wouldn't be surprised if AP ends up being sued by them eventually

>>1776132
Blumine sounds better than Blavelin

>>1776591
They're goes feral because Palworld taunting them. They don't have grounds to sued Palworld for their similar aesthetic so Palworld fanbase(ex-pokemon fans) taunting them that it's the better pokemon. That's why they're suing it for bullshit reason because they just hate Palworld that much. Even other Japanese people think that it's par for the course for Palworld to get sued because of their aesthetic.

>>1776621
They also sued some guy who made a fan remake of metroid2

>>1776635
Irrelevant. They're indeed suing or removing fanmade content. But until they sued Genshin Impact, they won't sue this game.
Of course, they'll sue AP if AP fanbase is like Palworld fanbase(bitter ex-pokemon fans), but I don't think majority of them will play this game.

Are there Wizard characters in this game? So far I only saw Archers and Swordsmen.

>>1776256
>nintendo owns the idea of using pets
All nintendies deserve a slow death roasting over an open fire.

>>1776732
I repeat then, Lil' bro. Why would Nintendo want to sue AP then?

>>1776703
Luruka the pink dog

biliworld in less than two weeks, expectations?

>>1776895
more not pokemon merch and the video leaker xister has been posting screenshots of before radio silence for the next year or two

>>1776895
Release date, I'm fucking tired of blueballing trailer and teaser.
If only the CNschizos stop sperging out and scared the dev again to redraw their plan on the board room for the 999th time.

>>1776895
I expect nothing so I don't get disappointed.

>>1776895
last year's was so bad, even the attendees looked disappointed, i expect generic trailers we've already seen, and a bunch of kibo dolls for sale.

God bless CNschizos, they're the reason we're going to have a gacha worth anything in this current year

>>1776895
Total Uncensor GFL2 style followed by artificial shizodrama thats almost kills it in CN so they'll have to rely on Global more.
The most perfect outcome for a gacha game from my observation.

This is ridiculous... KEEP DOING IT!

buddypoke bros...

>>1776895
What I want is for them to reveal a new trailer where Blumine is gone, redesigns for the girls making them more appealing to otakus, and an announcement of signups for the first beta. What I expect is that there will be almost nothing new, they will just rerun the second trailer that no one cares about, and the game will keep being a flop.

>>1777094
This, ideally without wasting dev time on dumb rewrites to appease CN that us global chads never asked for.
GFL2 would already be a good game if they could just develop it faster instead of being stuck in this loop of
>add mediocre stopgap "content" because the good stuff isn't ready
>good stuff still isn't ready
>rinse and repeat

>>1777248
Maybe they shouldn't had hired a female writer with a cuck fetish that hates the player? And then try to sweep it under the rug and call it the players fault? And then use writers that didn't play the first game so half the "backstory" directly contradicts the game glf2 is supposed to be a sequel for?

>>1777250
seethe, chang

>>1777250
you will never be white

>>1777250
Boy they sure don't like you reminding them of the chinks in their armor.

You don't need to samefag, chang.

>>1777250
Based.

>>1777250
That's the truth of it

Hmmmm... I think I will play this game

>>1777431
in 2-3 years from now maybe

Which do you guys think is better?

>>1777888
Rover is easily the worst male MC design I've seen, worse than Aether even: he wears women's clothes, has ear piercings, and he's the only character in the entire game with visible nostrils, that make him look like a dopey loser any time his face is in the shot. Idk what Manjuu was thinking when copying that shit.
Blue rover's face doesn't look quite as bad, but that blue hair is just lmao.
Anyway left > right (who cares I'm choosing blumine regardless)

>>1777888

>>1777888
Right but with left's clothes.

>>1777906
I like boyish faces, but most like mature faces of mmc

>>1777901
I know this is a shitpost, but they can actually make a good-looking male character, but somehow blue rover is the soundest decision to them, it's dumb.
Oh wait, if they did
>CNschizo melty

>>1777888
also right but with left's clothes and lighter hair shading like left

Do you guys like mmc's shota face or changed face?

>>1778044
Shota face feels like a better fit, can't really explain why.

>>1778044
Shota, narrow chinky eyes are gay
>>1778052
AP is supposed to be a comfy farming game, a protagonist that has this as his default expression just doesn't fit

>>1777888
Right is generic as fuck but works better if it's a silent MC or they hope you self-insert.
Left actually looks like a character and would be my preference. Way better than Genshin though. It's impossible to create a more emasculated MMC that Genshin's MMC.
nice double trips

>>1777888
Both look like homos with that shitty blue hair.

>>1777888
Left is better because at least it's not just Wuthering Waves guy but blue.
t. don't even play Wuthering Waves

>>1778244
but right is genshin but blue...?

>>1778211
Just make him the MC already.
>>1777953
It was a genuine response.

>>1778269
holy shit get your eyes checked

The possibility of remodeling the mmc design to old is very low, right? Because we've already completed the new mmc modeling

>>1780288
Why do you want the old MC? He is supposed to be and feel like a badass cool dude who gets all the bitches, not a twink. If you want to feel like a kid who watches the adults fuck while he sits in a chair there is already a game for you.

>>1780364
Brother, I don't think you understand what you signed up for.
It's a game for toddlers >>1776222

>>1780364
>He is supposed to be and feel like a badass cool-
>generic blank slate with no personality probably
NTA but please stop self inserting you fucking loser. you're in the same league as aetherfags.

>>1780364
Honestly I don't think they'll create that kind of story. They legit don't know how to create cool and badass MC.
Ignore this obvious bait >1780375

>>1780364
The new design is the worst, fmc is a young girl, but mmc feels weird coming out as an adult

>>1780492
Male MC being an adult could have worked if he was a goofy older man like Kakashi, or Gojo I guess
Just make him the girl's uncle, let the player freely change between the two, and it should be fine
Blue rover looks like a jacked dude that just turned 18 and is looking to get laid in a world full of kiddie shit and moe lolis. Just imagining this guy riding some cutesy chocobo pokemon makes me wanna puke

Blue Rover looks bad because he looks too much like Rover, players making the comparisons is never a good thing.

>>1780514
Thank you for actually stating a reason for why you want the old MC design. But your reasoning of "I don't want to imagine a 17 years old dude railing a 12 years old girl" is strange, considering how popular blue archive is, so I think it's a you thing more than a generalized sentiment from the potential players (you sound like you might drop the game less than a month in).
That being said, the game is going to have some light pandering at best (like blue archive), and no fanservice or actual romantic relationships anyways.

>>1780521
>17 years old dude railing a 12 years old girl
That's fine, I'm not fine with the 17 year old dude picking flowers and doing other girly shit to fit in with 12 yo girls, especially knowing the game won't have any pandering. 17 yo dude just makes it look lame and gay, that's all I'm saying
I'm not some moralfag from twitter like you assume, but those people will get upset, yes, and that's something Manjuu should've considered

current male mc is fine just give him multiple clothing skins like Snowbreak's mc has

the priority is killing Blumine anyway

>>1780553
>current male mc is fine
of course you'd think that when you're a snogger
>the priority is killing Blumine anyway
not happening, the game is not for you

Sex with Blumine

>muh concession
yep i was right, it was a samefag

Imagine being so mentally weak you can't handle the idea that two people disagree with you. Hopefully your children (lets be honest you will never have any) don't inherit your feminine personality.

>9 hours later in the dead thread
lmao

>Two people
lmao you are still butthurt

I like the boyish face of mmc but do you guys prefer the mature face of the changed mmc?

There's no way AP is still a 12+ game right? They showed some crazy jiggle in the girl's boobs.

>>1782053
this is like the 4th or 5th time you've asked this exact same question 4chanGPT, chill

>>1782088
Azur Lane is 12+

>>1782105
Sorry, I'm so nervous that it won't change because I don't like the new mmc design.

>>1782117
Azur Lane is 16+ in CN.

>>1782118
It won't change because the shota was never modeled.
Blue rover was a mistake but they'll just have to suck it up and take the wuwa comparisons now, it can't be helped.

>>1782131
I wish I could at least change mmc face

i will sex blumine and there's nothing you can do about it

New stuff dropped. https://x.com/AzurPromiliaFan/status/1942954913434103829

>female mc present in all new promo content
Cucked game, I’ll stick with better shit

>>1782131

Can't be more cucked than AL players getting their money stolen.

also stop acting like a subhuman

>>1782686
But why are you so angry, sister? I thought that's what you wanted. Now all that's left is to get rid of the male MC to have our own tranny... I mean yuri paradise for straight people!!!!

>>1782717
bro is really mad about that one post in gacha drama

>>1782147
well shes one of your beloved starter girls after all so thats understandable haremKING

>>1782326
>>1782343
what? I only see the male MC in that link, I'm missing something? I don't see FMC anywhere

Was I really in this thread for like 2 months?

>>1783385
Yeah they only showed male MC in the new material, instead of using female MC they used Shalle for some reason. So she's either gone or Manjuu's hiding her.

>>1783420
Yes.

>>1783428
>So she's either gone or Manjuu's hiding her.
I doubt it, the promo material is showing some signs of yuribating between characters, this game is really Blue genshin

>1783724
Kys, shitposter retard.

We like to watch /here/

Only one girl has panties (for now)... meh. Not really in the zone for adding more gacha games to my list without a good incentive and that requires a lady's intimate fabric to be visible, ccp/feminist sensibilities be damned

>>1783874
which gacha on your list show you panties?

>>1783874
Who has it?

>>1783800
>If you point things you are shitposting

>blue rover is still there
i think i will just pick blumine

DOA

Yeah its a skip sorry not sharing a game with agp homos with watered down dialogue to accommodate a non-existent playerbase best of luck though hope you guys compete with genshins or something

>>1784358
thanks sis, i hope you enjoy love and deepspace.

>>1784358
>with watered down dialogue to accommodate a non-existent playerbase
but enough about snowbreak

>>1783724
what kind of mental illnes do you have to have to say retarded things like this? how is a game with only playable girls comparable to the sausage fest that's genshin?

>>1784358
no...

>>1782053
This one looked like a shota the new one looks like a manlet.
They're both more or less the same height but the new one has a more adult face with a thicker neck but he is still short as hell so it looks like those short guys that hit the gym.

>>1784562
NTA but since I played Genshin some time ago I can say this of the female cast, 80 % of the characters are yuribait with another one, 15 % are shipbait with one male character (usually this male character is shipbait with another male too) and 10 % of the female characters are for (you) until mihoyo decides to make this character shipbait with another male or female

>>1784683
Were there a lot of people who were unhappy with old mmc's big eyes?

mmc is so ugly. Just release the fmc

>>1784769
Listening to CNschizos were a mistake
New MC really didn't fit the laid-back bright fantasy they want

>>1784774
blue rover lmao!

>>1784774
i want to be squished between blumine's fat thighs...

>>1784784
I'm sorry, but are there a lot of people who aren't happy with the new mmc?

>>1785389
It's too similar with that fag game wuwa or something. Honestly, they just need get rid of the midriff jacket and tailcoat, shit looks gay af.

>>1785389
In my opinion, the face is fine. i think the problem is the clothes, and the hair seems forced to look messy. Iithink they should give back old outfit, and he needs a more original haircut like AK: enfield mc.

>>1778365
No thanks, the one above looks like it's coded for a fucking otome game, that's not what we want here.
