I figured that must've been the case, I couldn't imagine the game being cruel enough to put them on banners at separate times like that lol Only 3 weapons in 4 years sounds insane. Have you just not been prioritising that many of those weapons or is there some rotten luck involved with that?
Oh where she's fused with Lady Kasuga and sports the pink kimono right? I did start the event but had to put it on hold when the last event started and haven't got back round to it yet. Yeah I get what you mean, something does feel kinda off about it lmao
Yep those designs are top-notch, especially Kali, she's my favorite of the two also. I really dig character designs with blue skin.
There was one occasion where I had to skip through the story just because I was really short on time when that event was taking place, it was the MHX Alter event which was a damn shame because that seemed like a pretty good one. But aside from that, I've also read pretty much everything. Not having the option to skip for a gacha game feels strange af, I feel like even the majority of other types of games in general typically let you pause and skip cutscenes so that sucks to not have a simple quality of life feature like that.
I love that archetype of character where it's a loyal af swordsman that always has their boss'/masters best interests and protection in mind. This might just be a specific case by case thing but details like environments and time periods have been known to affect some servants personalities if I'm not mistaken, like how Gilgamesh seemingly became a lot more malicious in FSN compared to how he was in FZ, due to having lived in modern times for 10 years which he hated. So there might be some of that at play to explain the slight differences with Okita in Redline and her in FGO. Redline takes place during WWII if I'm not mistaken so I wonder if that kind of world-state could be bringing out Okita's more serious and no-nonsense aspects. I could just be looking too deeply into it but it's interesting to consider.
Only time will tell but I'm really hoping they do a lot with this crossover. I hope it's more content than just a single level, or at least make it a really huge level XD
You got any upcoming anime you plan to watch? The first episode of Uzumaki came out recently, so I plan to start that soon. It's based on the manga by horror mangaka Ito Junji, have you heard of him? His work is cool af, but his manga have never really translated well to anime until now. Being in the hands of studios that clearly don't give much of a fuck about the projects and having no budget doesn't help either. But it seems like a great amount of time and care has been put into this Uzumaki adaption. It's been animated in a black and white style to better match the manga which I think couldn't be more perfect for it, and the animation looks really fluid. The first episode of Dandadan comes out tomorrow as well IIRC, and Bleach will also be airing in October so it seems it's going to be a busy anime season for me.
I was never a fan of using other people’s accounts, building my own characters/collection/etc. is a very important part of the journey, but I guess it’s a viable choice if the alternative is too unappealing - like spending 1000s hours/USD on a 20 y.o. game. There was one time I tried selling my own account btw - the one I had in League of Legends. It was very old (I started playing in early 2012, I think) and I had tons of skins there, but I didn’t get any offers. As for in-game currency, I bet it’s being farmed by bots nowadays. All ex gold farmers like me need to unionize and demand this to stop XD
Watching a playthrough on Youtube isn’t an option I consider at all. Playing the game myself, controlling the characters, building them, doing every little thing is half the fun. I’m not a fan of second-hand experiences in general and I love Kiseki too much to experience Kai this way. I wonder how MTL works on PS, though? I was under the impression that modding console games is much more difficult than on PC. It would be pathetic if I end up buying a PS after avoiding consoles for 2 decades for just one game though… Well, it’s not like I have that money right now anyway. Still, if that MTL is like DeepL Translate, then it’s actually preferable to official localization. Both make inaccuracies, but at least what MTL has are honest errors due to its imperfections, not some BS made up by people who hate the original script and fans of the series. I don’t know if you understand what I mean, but like… When MTL gives me wrong lines, I don’t get angry and the main feeling I have in those moments is self-pity - why after so many years I still can’t read a Japanese video-game raw? But when I read official localization and see what they’re intentionally doing with the script, I feel irritation, resentment and disappointment and it kind of sours my time with the game.
Nope, I haven’t heard anything extra about it; I generally avoid Falcom-related communities, after all, like Twitter, Reddit, 4chan, etc. since they have a lot of negativity I’d rather not read and I’d like to avoid spoilers. I’m inclined to think they don’t require localizers for that release because FC is already translated, so all they need is to adjust EN script if necessary. However, if they do manage to drop the middlemen, then I’ll become a happier man. That said, it probably wouldn’t mean much for the translation quality if they end up hiring the same people that work for NISA.
True, compared to games like Valkyria Chronicles, the way war was presented in Cold Steel was very fairy-tale-like. Kuro II is often being called a “filler game” because it didn’t advance the story much, but I don’t see how that’s an issue. The island exploration and all those Shizuna moments throughout the game are enough for me to put it above other games. I think the majority of the fans play this series for the same reason as both of us do.
“To not offend” in this case likely means “I don’t like Christianity”. The biggest irony here is that Western activists are so obsessed with “not offending anybody” and being diverse & inclusive, yet end up being dicks to anyone who isn’t like them - imposing their values on foreign culture (Japanese art and entertainment, for example) is an obvious example of that.
She did show up but as a cameo only. As far as I know she’s one of the main characters in Zestria, and Berseria is a prequel to it. Who is the publisher for that SAO game, Bandai? They seem to have a finger in every pie, so it’s not surprising to hear they could try something like what you’re describing.
Considering that VNs are relatively cheap to make, Falcom could probably earn plenty of money if they released that type of spin-off content. They wouldn’t sell as much as mainline games, but would also cost 100 times less to make.
You know what’s 'funny' to me? I don’t get jealous of other people for having luxurious yachts and gigantic mansions, but when I think about all the stuff I could commission to be made (e.g. video-games, anime, art for visual novels (and write it myself), ASMR vids etc.) - in these moments I feel pensive about not being rich and having no ways to earn enough money to make these projects happen no matter how much I think about it. Another way would be to actually develop some kind of talent myself, but I think I’ve already mentioned how my drawing practices went 5 and 8 years ago.
Shiroko Terror earned some points for me lately, alongside Saori, Hiyori and some other students (not because of their recent releases on JP). I don’t think I’ll stay with the game after finally finishing the story, though. And unlike me you’ve been playing Genshin very faithfully (from what I can tell) so yeah no reason to drop it completely at this point.
Among other things, your country probably has less internal issues than Germany does, although I’ve never set foot in either country so I don’t know how things really are. That said, from what you’ve told me and what I’ve read on the internet, Serbia seems like a better place than both of “my” countries, especially nowadays. It wouldn’t surprise me if at some point even MAL/Discord will be banned here for some superficial reason. It really sucks being undermined both internally and externally at the same time.
How about these ones?
Oh, I’m the opposite of you - I’m using headphones most of the time.
Yeah, I just listen to it, it would defeat the ASMR purpose if I tried reading the sub. I understand a lot by ear though, definitely much more than when I try to read voiceless text.
For a second there I thought it’s Muv-Luv, but that’s probably NGE.
Grisaia is great. The protagonist is awesome, the girls are all cute, the comedy is nice, there are plenty of tear jerking and otherwise emotional scenes too, not to mention some real action. I haven’t seen the anime adaptation, and I don’t think it’s possible to adapt all those routes into a single anime. This is my favorite girl from it:
True, it's really useful to be aware of which servants will be getting reruns in the near feature, I should get into the habit of checking that out more.
It was an adaption of a handful of Riyo's comedy strips and is basically a bunch of in-jokes about the game and story, it's free to watch on Youtube if you didn't know.
Oh that's funny that other gacha's have their own version of that lol I recall looking into Xiang Yu a bit since his design made me wanna pull for him and yeah, the general consensus for him is that he's not too useful if I recall. I mean there's already so many busted Berserkers after all.
Huh interesting, so if you're trying to pull a certain character, it must be pretty important to try and get their matching weapon also then. The weapons must get reruns as well right? Or do the weapons only get reruns when the characters themselves do?
Holy shit that's brutal.
Oh my bad, I guess I'm blind XD Astolfo's great but I don't really care for Parvati, that art-style is really hit or miss for me. Pretty disappointing design imo, especially when compared with the amazing designs that Kali and Durga later received.
It does seem to be the case that it's her hair then huh, I probably never would've took notice of that if you hadn't pointed it out to me.
Very nice to hear, always an awesome bonus to have those romantic options open.
Yeah I've definitely been in that position many a time, and not being in the habit of skipping the story elements definitely doesn't help either lol That's how I know I just wouldn't be able to keep up with more than one gacha at a time very well, even though there's other games I'd be interested to try out.
Ikr? lmao us getting kidnapped really is becoming a ridiculous recurring theme it seems. True, it's a shame that Okita didn't have much chance to shine in this event. The Fate/Type Redline version of her does sounds pretty compelling, and the art for that series is so fire. Would be really cool if it got an adaption down the road.
Oh interesting approach. It no doubt helped with the games' appeal to western audiences I bet, and from what I'm aware, there's certainly a novelty aspect to English spoken songs in Japan, China & South Korea. That's probably why you also hear English lines in many Japanese songs now that I think about it.
Ah so she's been known about for quite a while then but only just got released recently. Are upcoming characters in Genshin usually known about for that long before release or was that only the case with the characters shown in the original announcement trailer?
Btw it was just announced that Stellar Blade is doing a collab with NieR Automata later this year. I'd be hard-pressed to think of two better games to collab with one-another.

Also, players from the poorer countries could earn some profit with this system. For example, when I've been playing Dungeon Fighter Online I used to farm gold and sell it in exchange for Steam gift cards.
That being said, all this (the gacha element, premium items bought with real money, farming gold for money, etc.) kind of distorts what video-games are supposed to be about.
I don't think that Agnes looks bad, but compared to her 3D model certainly not as cute. Fie though definitely had better art in Cold Steel; personally, I like her CSII one the most. I think Falcom changed the art style mostly so that it doesn't feel the same as in the previous arc.
Yeah, I meant Kuro II, but so far I don't think I've seen any mention of Rixia on Kai's site at all. Man, the game releases in two days and I'm salty beyond belief it's only on PS and who knows how much time it will take for either PC JP release or EN fan patch. And salt is only amplifies because of all the wrong things going in my life. Recently I wanted to buy some new Kiseki merch, but couldn't because of the sanctions - like my flat and all the property was bombed and ruined, I can't go home because I'll just end up being treated as a slave for the state, I'm not in a stable position where I'm currently at either - everything can go very bad any moment etc. etc. etc. and I can't even buy something I want without bothering a lot of people and overpaying like three times, can this world just leave me alone? lol.
Yeah, that Fate/Type Redline anime would need a good direction and animation, if it's just a typical mediocre adaptation there wouldn't be much point in it. Like all those visual novel adaptations I don't even bother to watch. Thankfully, messing up anime based on manga is harder than one based on a visual novel.
There are many things I'm excited about when I think about Kai, but broadly speaking:
1. Anything related to Shizuna is obviously a top priority and it seems like this game is going to have more of her than the previous two.
2. Just "being inside the game", exploring new locations, seeing new interactions between the characters I already love (or meeting new ones), etc. is something I look forward to in every new Kiseki game. Aside from Shizuna, Rean is the one I'm looking forward seeing (and playing as) the most again.
3. Seeing how the story plays out further.
So even though I really love Kiseki's storytelling, it's actually not as important as the characters and to a lesser degree its worldbuilding. That's probably why I didn't care much about Kuro's II plot being relatively weaker than the rest - you can make a spin off game where Shizuna travels around Calvard and does things which are irrelevant to the main story and I'm still going to love it more than the biggest plot twists we've seen lol.
The "Happy Holidays" always seemed cringe to me, like a child being stubborn and refusing to call something by its name for some superficial reason. Okay, you don't believe in God or not a Christian, why does it matter? Christmas is Christmas, you either call it what it is or not celebrate at all. Japanese and Koreans don't seem to have a problem with it, so why do Westerners? And that Priconne's localization is on part with Elaine's Sword Maiden becoming Beauty's Blade - really irritates me because even though they know they have no excuse, they are still doing it.
When I was a kid we used to do "Koliada" on Christmas, basically children going to their neighbors, singing songs and getting candy or money from the adults in return. Where I live now no one obviously does this because unlike my homogeneous town this city is a multicultural one.
Well, I'm finally done with Berseria (after two whole months...) so now I can focus on other things, mainly finish BA and watch what I was recommended by you and Mindnight (Monogatari). I will decide what to do with Clannad and Kanon afterwards. Berseria was a great game, btw, definitely one of my favorites; a rare case when I liked all the main characters more or less the same. Usually there is a clear favorite, some I like a lot and some which are whatever. By the time I'm composing this reply, you're probably already done with everything you wanted to do in that SAO game.
Would you read a Kiseki-inspired visual novel where you can romance any of its many girls? :D
I think decoupling from gachas is a wise choice. I gave up on getting back into FGO and at the moment have only BA and that Kiseki gacha installed.
That thing about economy gets even worse in the global market because rich countries can produce nothing of value and still buy whatever they want from the poor countries, including cheap labor, raw materials, land and finished goods. When I think about scale, it just makes me facepalm, i.e. pre-war, normal salary in my town was like ~$150 per month, in U.S. it's something you can earn in two days being on the minimum wage. Sure, it's costlier there, but you still have much more purchasing power if you save even a fraction of that money. Then there are things like Elon Musk buying Twitter for 44 billion, which is more than GDP of entire countries. Even a successful country like Japan is being slowly bought up by American corporations just because of the difference in scale of their economies.
It wasn't even about catching the criminal, but rather protecting from them. And I don't mean war-related stuff, there were many things you're not supposed to say, post or do on the internet even before that. One time our local forum was ordered to take down a thread where users were discussing the theme of suicide lol. I think it was for the same reason they wanted to ban (or actually banned? I don't know where I can check) anime like KonoSuba and Death Note.
Hmm, what is your opinion on kemonomimi in general?
Assuming that you have to spark both Shiroko*Terror and BHoshino (that is if you want her) that'll put you at 23K which is almost a spark itself. By then you'll have enough for yet another spark. There's good news in the C&C Bunny Girls are getting a rerun in Japan this week. Which means another chance for me to get BNeru and/or BKarin. Last but not least Kisaki isn't limited so no need to worry about FOMO.
I sit at 15K gems right now. Miraculously, I've gotten NY!Fuuka at 10 pulls. I'd probably save until Nagisa/Toki arrives.
I finished my first Senran Kagura game: Burst Re;Newal and before that I was playing Needy Girl Overdose. I got bored so I took a break before I continue being all achievements/endings. I tried Dohna Dohna but I don't know if I want to play it right now. I was thinking that my next game should either be Little Witch Nobeta or Ape Escape. For anime I started the Russian girl that was popular in the last few weeks. Also I've been job hunting.
Ah yes the ol' carrot on the stick.
Yep, you heard that right.
Xiang Yu's design is so sick, he def has one of the best final ascension arts imo. Cool, I've prob said already but some of those are among my favs too ofc.
True, I imagine it wouldn't be in their best interests to directly acknowledge cases of their players getting screwed over now that I think about it lol
Ah cool so you managed to nab one yourself then huh, looks sweet. Oh wow it's stayed the best spear for that long? Seems like it was an incredible pickup then, and that makes it so much worse for Tectone that he didn't get it after spending so much XD Although I looked into it a bit and apparently he did eventually get his hands on it if I'm not mistaken.
Congrats on getting her with plenty of quartz to spare, that's an awesome result. What freebies did you get btw?
Huh I've never noticed that either, I just always assumed she had ears as well wth lol You'll have to let me know if you manage to find out for sure, I wonder if she's featured in any craft essence artwork or something that might showcase it more clearly.
Looks like all the gachas had you pretty busy, must be somewhat troublesome for them all to come out with updates and events at the same time like that.
Interestingly Iyo had an unlockable BGM for her NP which is the first time I've seen something like that I'm pretty sure.
Very nice. Love her eyes, and incorporating those types of colors is a pretty sure-fire way to get me to like a design ngl lol Oh that's interesting, she's got quite a good voice.
That's a pretty unique design, lots of elements going on with her that I really dig. I'd say she's definitely up there as one of my fav designs that I've seen from Genshin.
Usually, old games give a lot of freebies to returning/new players, but yeah... Compared to veteran players who have been playing the game consistently it would amount to nothing. Genshin might be better, but the situation is relatively the same. If you start playing it right now with a fresh account, you'd be very behind all other players.
I doubt that anime is any good as with most vg/vn/gacha adaptations, but if you do watch it, tell me about it.
When I first played Kuro I thought that the character art was a downgrade compared to Cold Steel/Hajimari, but right now I'm not sure if that's the case. At the very least, both Shizuna's artworks look gorgeous, so I wouldn't mind getting the third one.
I mostly use DLC outfits when I'm exploring parts of the game which aren't story heavy, where you mostly fight things. As for Rixia, she only appeared at the game's end in Kuro II and Satou Rina wasn't invited to voice her for that game, so I'm not very optimistic.
Fate/Type Redline anime would be fairly short, so I'm not sure it would work for you this way, although you're already attached to Okita, so the situation is a bit different.
For me Kiseki got better with each new arc I've played, i.e. Sora was a wonderful 10/10 journey, but then I liked Zero/Ao even more, and Cold Steel even more than Zero/Ao. When CSIV ended, I thought that nothing will impress me as much, but then Kuro happened which had life-changing Shizuna and amazing visuals. So even if different arcs feature different characters and storylines, I'm still very thrilled about the series continuation. That said, I wish Falcom would focus on already existing characters for the future games.
One of my friends thinks that Deda Mraz/Grandfather Frost was popularized (or maybe hijacked) by communists and that's why he brings gifts on New Year's rather than Christmas. I didn't really think of this before, but it makes sense.
I have watched Clannad in 2012, but not After Story. I don't remember anything about it, so going into VN would be almost like a fresh experience. Alternatively, if I decide to watch anime, I'll need to re-watch the first season.
Yep, I meant Mai. Looks prettier than the rest to me, wields a sword and is voiced by Tamura Yukari.
I wish my media-consumption speed would be as fast as before because I can't finish Berseria for more than two months, so taking on something like Shiny Days will probably wait until I'm 60 years old or something. Thankfully one season of anime is just 4 hours long.
Appearance-wise Kotonoha is definitely the prettiest one in School Days btw. Sekai on the other hand has terrible personality and looks worse than the others.
All this is probably by design. Governments don't exist to be of any help to people after all, all they need from you is to pay taxes, increase GDP and in some cases die in war. A few days ago something awful happened to one of my family members, we went to police and one other gov organization and no one bothered to help in any way - they simply didn't care even though a crime happened. However, if you post something bad on the internet you'd get behind bars very fast.
Robin isn't on the same level as Firefly, but still one of the better characters in HSR, so congrats on getting her. My only complain is her songs being in English, but we've already talked about it.
So Okuni is like Keqing - I initially thought she was a catgirl too. I like this ascension of hers the most.
Yeah that's a huge factor for sure, liking a decent amount of both males and females is so unhelpful when you're trying to save quartz lol You're a lot more likely to have a streak of banners that you're uninterested in compared to me. So if Merlin was your only intentional pull for a male character, then any you do have must've been inadvertent summons right? Which 5* male servants do you have again? and yeah Merlin was definitely a very wise pull at the time.
Holy shit I can't even imagine how crushing that must've been lol Looks like we have him and his sizable sacrifice to thank for the pity system then XD Would've been cool of them to at least gift him the servant as well after they implemented pity due to that. Interesting, I'll check it out. So is there a pity system in place for the weapon banner now and can it be attributed in-part to him also? and lol: "Maybe the real staff of homa was the friends we made along the way."
Lmao fitting nickname.
Oh yeah definitely, that would be an awesome quality of life option to have. I imagine a lot of people might still opt to use support a lot of the time just to enable loops with support Koyanskaya's and other such servants, but like you say it would be a great option for better optimised bond farming.
Well I've finished with all the missions of the new Yamataikoku event, I just have general farming left to do now. And agreed, both Okita's and Nobu is a very strong starring line-up for an event to be sure. What did you think of the story? I ended up liking Sen no Rikyu/Komahime a lot, so much so in fact that I threw 6 or 7 ten-pulls at her banner after I finished the story. Regrettably I didn't get her though. I only got Yamanami for my troubles unfortunately, who's alright but not a servant I would've aimed for, still at least I got something out of it. Ofc I should've had the foresight to realise Okita was also gonna be on the banner soon, and a double Okita banner at that. Not to mention Rikyu will be on another banner sometime next year, so I would've preferred to have prioritised the Okita banner had I known all this. Me getting Yamanami on Rikyu's banner probably would've meant I would've received swimsuit Okita on her banner as well, that's what I get for impulsively rolling I suppose. I guess Rikyu/Komahime had me particularly charmed in the moment.
Aside from really liking Rikyu, I think Kukochihiko will make a cool af servant once they eventually get round to adding him. Akesato was pretty cute and likeable even though we didn't get to see her much. And that Rikyu jumpscare actually caught me off-guard ngl XD Also this outfit/artwork of her is incredible:
Rage bombing after dying is very relatable lol I'll let you know how things go once I do start playing them again.
Oh interesting. Really dig her design, cute pics of her as well. I googled her and really like the primary artwork of her on the shark. Between her and Xilonen, Genshin's been getting some designs I really like lately.
It's a shame you're almost certainly past the max-playtime where you could get a refund, it undoubtedly sounds like it would warrant that ngl.
Yeah fair point, a totally reasonable price considering how fucking amazing it looks. I've tried to avoid looking at content from it as best I can but I've seen some short clips here and there, and the game just oozes style and detail from what I've seen.
I'm a bit surprised Sekiro still hasn't gone down in price at all yet tbh. Still worth every penny ofc but surprising nonetheless. And yeah there's always Christmas sales and usually sales for Halloween also.
I did indeed hear about that trash fire of a game. The character designs are so fucking atrocious lmao I'm glad that woke garbage failed as spectacularly as it deserved. I've heard the developers have been pretty salty on social media about it as well. Not to mention, it was already a game that was gonna be dead on arrival, but they actually thought they could compete with Black Myth: Wukong and released it 3 days after the release of that game. Just wow lol
True, it's really hard to say. I could see it being largely successful both ways. Oh interesting, you wouldn't be interested in rolling for them even just for the novelty of having them in HSR? and do you think this'll be a one-time only chance to get the Fate characters? I don't really know how HSR would handle guest characters like that in the long-term.
The second thing is that it got a PC client. Meanwhile all those popular gachas can't make one for some reason.
