I did both of them pretty close together, but I really enjoyed both. I was surprised how much of a hikkikomori dork they made Ei but that just made her more appealing. Since it made the archon quest boil to Yae tricks you into barging into her girlfriends room to drag her hikkikomori rear end out for an intervention.

I could understand her better if she displayed any knowledge of or interest in anything the way our other archon friends do. Like if she displayed an exhaustive knowledge of Inazuma culture and literature after centuries of monitoring it for any deviation from eternity. The way she staggers around wide-eyed and speechless half an hour after trying to assassinate you is just strange.

why would a Chinese broadcast TV law targeted at censoring foreign popstars impact a videogame fan poll, and why would they not just remove it entirely rather than fake the votes to appease the government? it makes infinitely more sense that tencent (a giant company) had their feelings hurt rather than imagining the government was engaging in some kind of bizarre soft propaganda.

It would be nice to hear her blab about sword styles and weapons and whatnot, since that's what she's passionate about, but all we really get is her challenging that one guy to a match to prove his worth, and she doesn't say anything about it.

I want to hear battle maniac Ei tell us in gruesome detail how much she loves fighting strong people... like Childe, but less evil.

Yes! If she were a sword otaku who could have gone into depth about why that teacher who had his vision stolen threatened eternity due to being on the brink of exposing some kind of fundamental gap in other sword styles, destroying the balance of martial arts.

its otome game phoenix wright, there's detective segments that have gameplay, the gacha cards help with that but also more importantly have character/story scenes tied to them. its a pretty common format for otome mobile games, people will roll for side content featuring their favorite boy.

It's hard. My yunjin has 240ER. With 2 favonious users and catching all the particles from her hold E it feels almost possible, but staying on field to catch feels weird so I always forget to do it.

idolmaster shiny colors is a game thats girls and has a similar idea, basically the main mode of the game is a roguelike raising sim where you schedule practice and concerts for whichever idol girl you picked, with the girls having different cards that have different plot arcs play out as you progress and if you get the ending, and then the 'support' cards you equipped before the run all have their own unique story scenes that pop up as you play. its a neat format but also if youre grinding out different characters with the same support setup youre gonna be skipping a lot of repeated scenes. good writing and art though. sadly jp only. also its idols which i know some people arent into.

the funniest otome mobage is twisted wonderland which is disney branded and has the worlds jankiest looking combat system that ive never seen anyone talk about

I didn't know Shiny Colours was structured like a roguelike. That's hilarious. Seems like a good choice, though. When I played Idolmaster 2 I only did one run and I remember it being, like, "full Europa Universalis campaign"-level long. Though I guess being in a language I could barely read will have slowed things down.

Ah yes that one that comes off as kind barely Disney themed, that I've never seen anyone mention anything to do with gameplay for (literal first time I've seen gameplay for it ever despite being casually aware of its existence for a couple years now lol), and seems to be banking entirely on a popular character designers branding as well as Sony Music's massive branding and marketing in, in the Japanese market. That one apparently came out globally, but I've scarcely seen a word of it since it launched. It doesnt seem structured much for the global market where the brandings mean little for it in absence of anything explicitly Disney unless theres more super fan whales of that character designer than I'm aware of.:shrug:

Tighnari will be released to the non-event banner next patch, but that isn't a normal occurrence, and it's just so that you can get a 5 star of all elements from Wanderlust Invocation. 4 stars usually are, though.

Notably there's still no Geo 5* on the Wanderlust Invocation. I wonder if there ever will be. It can't be any of the Geo characters released so far so it'd have to be a new one.

To further explain, the vast majority of banner 5* characters are "event-exclusive" characters, meaning they're never added to the standard banner and you can only get them when they're featured. Tighnari's a special case. He's the first new 5* to be added to the standard banner in the game's entire lifespan so far.

New 4* characters, like Collei, are always added to the standard banner, though.

Yeah people usually bring up Albedo as a character who'd make sense on the standard banner, but he can't be since he was introduced as event-exclusive. I do wonder if they'll ever make a new non-exclusive Geo character for the standard banner or just leave that gap there.

Yeah you've got a point, I should've been more specific and mention that hydro has the best gender split of all the elements on 5*s.
