Well they definitely should teach this in sparring class. a very effective way to distract your opponent!

Sesbian Listers.

Genshin is actually the game that convinced me that true gacha games (as opposed to single player games that just mimic some of their mechanics or aesthetics) can't be done well. It's not just a matter of drop rates, but also how it distorts things like progression and narrative while decoupling play progress with character growth.

A big example of this, in both FGO and Genshin is the way accessing new skills and effects, rather than just certain numerical bonuses, is largely dependent on pulling duplicates. This can result in, relatively, stagnant gameplay because your access to new abilities doesn't expand the way it's supposed to as you progress through the game, so clearing the first dungeon can look a lot like clearing the 10th, just with slightly different enemies and bigger numbers. It can also result in an opposite problem, where you gain access to a particularly strong character or mechanic early on, due to luck or monetary investment, and that trivializes things.

Overall, good drop rates or not, I'd rather just pay for a game up front and, possibly, the occasional expansion and get an experience with more intentional pacing and fewer perverse incentives for the devs.

For some reason RWBY Yuri make me feel things.

Ah SYTOkun, their expressions are fantastic and they're fantastically horny. Always fun to see.

Incorrect use of the Precure NTR format, but I don't mind.

^FGO isn't largely about pulling duplicates though, unless you want a damage boost for your main DPS. Main thing with FGO also is that free characters for events are often really powerful and the bread and butter for free players. Also that supports are strong and a 1 copy support will often carry you through the game, especially with another friend support.

There's a ton of problems I have with FGO, including the token system that was added later and how dupes interact with it, and that caused one of the biggest controversies even for the JP side of the game. However in general you really don't need the dupes. Plus resources in FGO once you get going, especially with how all the extra additions now, make it really easy to skill up and level characters in my opinion.

Genshin more so locks quality of life features behind character dupes, and that's more of a problem in my opinion and experience.

I know none of what I'm saying matters because regardless you it sounds like you think all gacha games are terrible and you hate them, and I don't see that changing. Where as I think there's a lot of really great things about gacha games, and I enjoy playing them in general. I just wanted to give my take on it as a long time player of FGO, and someone that played a good amount of Genshin.

Huh. I could have sworn you needed a duplicate to ascend a servant and get access to additional skills, but that doesn't seem to be the case. To be fair, it's been a VERY long time since I've played.

I think most good free to play gacha games would be better as traditional games, because the requirements of making them free to play gacha games (that have a chance at actually turning a profit) are measurably reduce the quality of the gameplay experience and the only thing they add is a stream of cash for the developers (which can create its own problems). I wouldn't mind being proven wrong about that, because HoYo's games look like they do a lot of things right, when it comes to character design, animation, and general storytelling. I just wish I could pay up front for a version with a traditional unlock structure and pacing.

^That's fair, I understand not enjoying gacha games and the way they're set up to make money, it's definitely not for everyone. The one time pay experience is usually a good way to go for a games because you get everything you need for a complete experience, I don't disagree there. For me though a lot of single player / single purchase games are expensive, along with the means to play them such as PC and consoles, and the price is only growing. So playing gachas as a free player often provides a lot of content, and while I have my frustrations with gachas there's a lot I do love about them as well, plus the whales basically fund long term experience with the games for everyone else. Plus they fund other media projects, such as adaptions, and single purchase games even. So I think overall gacha games can be great for long term enjoyment in varied regards. I do what I can in game to get by as a free player, and then invest my money into official physical merch. That works for me is all I can say lol

I have to be honest, some of their Buff designs kinda worked for me, especially Shiori and Mococo.

Brb, gonna go rewatch the peak cinema for the 100th time.

Life finds a way, don't give up :O

One of the few nice things that came from Blue Archive

I was just thinking abput rewatching Strawberry Panic, too. Maybe this is a sign to give in to the urge.

The ending everyone wanted

^ Really? Who would want this?

From what I understand, Mizuki was assumed to be a girl by Ena and the other two girls from their unit, and she seemed to be completely fine with that. She wanted to come out to them, but she delayed it for a long time. If for all intents and purposes, she was a girl when she was with her closest friends, why the hesitation to call her a girl?

I find it strange that the uploaders here apply the yuri tag to something like Akane x Ranma automatically, but not to MizuEna. Why is it that the shapeshifter is accepted as a girl so easily (with none of this concern trolling about how Ranma is "actually just" nonbinary or genderfluid or whatever), but Mizuki, a character whose story is very similar to that of many young trans girls, does not get this courtesy?

Surely it's not just because Ranma can shapeshift into a form where she is a cis girl, but Mizuki can't. It's not just because Mizuki has a dick that she can't shapeshift away... Right?

Those students also then say Ena is a "normal girl" where as it is implied then that they don't see Mizuki as such.

Not that those idiots have any say in who Mizuki is, but if they actually viewed Mizuki as just a boy, they would have just asked Ena if she's a girl, and the "normal" qualifier would not have been necessary. Ena being called a "normal girl" implies that Mizuki is viewed as a girl too, but the abnormal kind.

Awhh so cute ^-^

^Sounds like numerous commenters here want it. Personally I don't have much of an opinion, I remember not really liking the series and some of the romance dynamics, but my memory is mostly hazy as it's been 15 or so years since I've seen it lol

I don't play Project Sekai, so I don't know all details, but other characters have earned the Transgender tag much more easily, so at the very least it's not anti-trans bias.

^ The anime was bogged down with too much atmosphere and with muted personalities and color. The show was entry level yuri content for people who didn't know about the manga. Or whe ppl couldn't follow along after the fan translations stopped when the series got licensed. At the time another yuri was out, My Maria(?), and it was a little more well known. Years later, Sono Hanabira came out and just blasted most yuri content out of the water.

So ya, the anime fell flat and pretty hard. With the exception of the VN and the last scene in the anime, the creator of Strawberry Panic also perfed Nagisa x Tomao. Hell, the voice actors for those same characters sang both the ending theme songs as a duet. Wow, I just geeked out out with that rant!

Sulemio!!!

Haven’t seen this pairing before. I’m not opposed to it tho
