Let's Discuss: Broccoli's new app

So if you haven't heard then allow me to give you the skinny

This is an article that was posted a few days ago and it was about a "Game App" that Broccoli was working on...yes you heard that part right because this one ISN'T under the control (to the best we know) of KLab whom currently still runs the JP server for Shining Live. Now what is fascinating about this is we have only the one screenshot in the post (which is also on Broccoli's Press Release) with STARISH standing on a stage. I THINK (and I could be wrong) but I think these costumes come out of "Maji Love 2000%" which is INTERESTING if you know anything about "Start Dates" for the Anime seasons See the Date for "Maji Love 2000%" was April 8th of 2013 and this image was posted on April 14th of 2023...yes friends this is literally around the 10th Anniversary of that season! I find it fascinating that they are actively doing a callback to that season in their own way but then again when you also think about the fact that they are also going to be incorporation "Raging Entertainment" now its gonna be a lot of fun! Yes kids...HEAVENS makes their official game debut! Now we have to ask some questions 1. Visual Novel or Rhythm game? If you ask me I think this will be another Rhythm Game BUT I think they will take the approach that Happy Elements does when it comes to EnStars in that they are going to do long chapters with segments voice acted per usual. I also think however that the story will actually lead to something (The UtaPri Awards Showdown. SSS ,or maybe a new contest) so that the game doesn't feel "Aimless" which was a big criticism of mine 2. How would songs unlock? If this is a Rhythm game I think we are going to see more of the Happy Elements approach in that songs will be unlocked after events and that there maybe be other ways too (like the equivalent of a "Live Fes" from EnStars). so there is that also. 3. If It's not a Rhythm Game at first could we see "Idol Training game"? Oh sure! Like since we have Shining and Raging Entertainment its not out of the possibility to see that happen. Like literally in EnStars (Basic and Music) there is "Yumenosaki Academy" and "Reimei" so if we go the route of a game like "ES Basic"...sign me up! If you notice that I am using the "Happy Elements" approach its because of the fact that they OWN their games so they don't have to ask for permission to get songs from someone. I think that might have been a problem for Shining Live a little bit because KLab never owned the content for it. I imagine having to ask for permission a lot is quite the tab Now the big thing is this When does it release? We just really heard about this a few days ago so I suspect that we'll not hear about it again (at least in terms of a title) in June when the 13th Anniversary happens. At that time (if we do hear about it then) I suspect the name and game format to be explained and (POSSIBLY) the "Sunset" of SL for the JP server. I only say "Possible" because it still has a lot of players but again this is all speculation on my part. If you ask me about Dolce Vita...I still think that game could be announced also but then Broccoli would have to think about this: If you announce Dolce Vita that HAS to be the only game announcement for the year. You CAN announce the name of the new Game App but I wouldn't announce a release date because people might be more interested in Dolce Vita honestly. I also think that if they do announce that this new game is a Rhythm game and people don't get a proper update on Dolce Vita then there is gonna be a problem. We know about the "BackPri" issue and how that didn't go well with people so I could see that being a real PR issue if something isn't said about DV Anywho fam that is all I have for right now but I am curious to what you think about this because I am really hyped no matter WHAT it turns out to be...not gonna lie I'll be happy as hell if we get a new rhythm game but sad if that means getting rid of Shining Live altogether. Take care fam and talk to you again soon

Do you remember if it was a 30 day countdown last year or was it 28 days? I'm asking this because of the fact that we haven't heard anything about login bonus calendar thingy like last year I don't think and I wondered if it was done around the 30 day mark or was it when we got to the beginning of August in Japan? Just something I thought about and I was wondering if you remembered or not friend. Take it easy

There certainly was one last year. I’m really wondering whats going to happen with the anniversary this year. Hopefully we hear something soon since they’ve been so quiet on it. I wonder if we’ll have things the week leading up to it as opposed to the month.

I just wanted to send you a very friendly reminder that we are 30 days from Myu's birthday AND it will be his first where the "3 Pull rule" and it being a "Camus Exclusive box" so to steal a line from ML1K: "Are you ready?"

Oh you KNOW I’m ready. I’m saving prisms on both accounts!

Alright @amisbro challenged me to rank best Heavens boys in regards to who is best for Haruka so I’m just gonna type out my thoughts here.

To start we gotta consider what Haruka would like in a man. I think she’d like a quiet boy since she’s not a very loud girl herself. Someone gentle and polite, but won’t put up with bullshit. Romantic. The more uplifting the better. I’m mostly going off of the traits she seemed to like in Hayato and by proxy Tokiya despite the CeciHaru shipper in me crying.

So with that in mind, my personal ranking of my favorite Heavens boys from least to most is Nagi, Yamato, Eiichi, Eiji, Shion, Kira, and Van is best. I love all of them, though, don’t get me wrong.

For Haruka, though, I think I would equally put Shion and Nagi at the bottom. Shion because he was cold to both Haru and Cecil for understandable reasons, but also there would probably be a lot of culture shock between the two. As for Nagi he’s like 14 you Nasties™ and Haruka is maybe 19 in season 4. Age of consent in Japan aside, Haruka’s probably not into shoutacon.

As much as it makes me want to cry, I’d put Kira next. I love him to death, but I just never saw much of a connection between him and Haruka outside of professional work relationships. Yamato doesn’t really seem to be interested in her either, unfortunately. He’s gotta get over his brobro issues first.

That leaves Van, Eiichi, and Eiji. I’ll put Van below the other two just because he’s already been rejected by Haruka, but he’s a good boi and when Haruka can stop thinking about only music, she might be willing to revisit the big goofball again. After all, he can make her happy so he says. I would then put Eiichi in second because when he did the chin tilt thing, they smiled at each other and that was cute. I think their personalities would contrast well and imagine him saying “IIIII~” and her repeating it in good humor. Dat’s cute. Finally that leaves our boy Eiji at first.

I think Eiji would be the best Heavens boy for Haruka because he’s quite gentle, probably very romantic, sweet, down to earth, and would compliment Haruka quite well. Plus, he boldly kissed her hand in front of his bandmates and brother?? That’s pretty cool. Plus his kindness and politeness is not weakness, I doubt he’s too much of a pushover and could keep his girl safe if push comes to shove.

So yeah. EijiHaru is probably best Heavens ship in my subjective opinion. This has been your daily dose of Finny Theory™ thanks for reading.

Hello friendly mods I have a question and I was wondering if you could help me out: Can you tell me whom the designated leader for SolidS and SOARA are? I'm trying to put the characters in their correct positions for tehe group but the only ones I know definite are the ones for Tsukiuta. If you can cool and if not I understand too

Ohara Sora is the leader for SOARA, and Takamura Shiki is the leader for SolidS. :)

no joke I just picked up Abzu recently but I haven't like "officially" started it yet. Looks like a really fun game though for sure and I love Flower also so this should be a fun experience for sure

i have flower and the others that came with journey but i haven’t even touched them lmao it’s sad really

i’m waiting until i get a ps4 to play abzu even though it’s (apparently?) for pc as well and fairly cheap even but i hope you have fun with it!

I always wanted to ask this Question

How many people that have been in the UtaPri fandom genuinely don't care about the character routes in the games? I'm actually serious about this question and let me tell you why Tomorrow is going to be January 7th and it will be my 9th year associated with UtaPri despite not being as connected to the fandom as I used to be and I remember how I got introduced to the series...it was literally a gif of Ren from the Anime and then that got me interested in the actual Anime part of the franchise. HOWEVER... What this didn't make me do is become as interested in the Otome/Visual Novel games as a lot of people might be in the fandom but that was more because the songs in the Anime actually got me interested in buying the songs and then also playing the Music games of which I own all 3 games. Like the idea of the Romance in the series (and yes I get it that it was an Otome first) wasn't a bad thing so...I get that but I also know that the biggest draw for me when I watched each episode was whatever song they were going to play in it. Why do you think that ,to this day, "Crystal Time" holds the record for the longest time I ever played a song on a loop (it was 3 weeks for anyone that doesn't know)? The other thing for me was always going to be this What characters did I see myself the most in and honestly...yeah we know already who that was right? The characters whom (currently) don't have any actual character routes in the games which sucks but eh...what can you do right? The best thing really is try to watch when they WERE in the Anime and see if you can figure out WHY you relate to them so much (which I did) and then you're good. Now does this mean that ,if/when HEAVENS get routes in a UtaPri game, I'm going to detach from them? NOPE! Here is what it WILL do for me It will either confirm or bust the ideas in my head about the backstories of the different members (of which...I had a lot of theories trust me) so there is that...but simultaneously I don't NEED or crave that content from them to love them more than I already do you know? I know that sounds odd but trust me my mind works in mysterious ways...hell ask me how much I love reading "deep dives" from twitter about characters in EnStars and the answer for that is A LOT but I'll try to explain that later down the line. So this brings me back to my original question If you were someone whom ,like me, came into the UtaPri fandom through the Anime and later the Music games then I have to ask you this: Did you ever feel like you needed the game routes to really embrace a character or were you satisfied enough with what you found out through the Anime series itself? Like I said for me it was more about the Music at times...well until Season 4 and then we know what changed and its been that way since 2016 (arguably even 2014 when I saw S2 for the first time). Let me know fam and I'll talk to you later :-)

One thing I found interesting in the rewards today was that ,not only do we get the Bangles in there, (And I'll take that # especially with getting that about 3-4 times a month thank you) BUT they also doubled the prisms for the "login markers" (10 each now) AND we get 50 to 100 LP depending on the mission. I wonder if they are being that generous because they are going to push the final story marker to 70K like they did the collection event? THAT I wouldn't be a fan of but what do you think?

I didnt notice the changes in other weekly missions tbh, I’m assuming they raised them because they replaced other weekly mission rewards with bangles, but didn’t want to give out less rewards overall. I’m not sure what I’d think about them upping it to 70k.

amisbro replied to your post “Is it Thursday night yet?”

I heard rumors that the system is gonna be $250 which is decent but I gotta hear launch titles before I think about it. Give me good stuff out of the gate then cool but we gotta see you know?

I mean I bought the 32gb WiiU when the only decent things out were Pikmin 3 and NintendoLand that came with it. And that was like $350. Barely missed the price drop and the Wind Waker edition. So price isn’t that bad. Especially as an upgrade to the WiiU. I’m honestly surprised it’s not at least $300. But maybe the $250 is a base edition with less memory like how the WiiU was. But that’s still cheaper than the 8gb WiiU at launch.

And I’ve been hearing good rumors about launch titles. Like Breath of the Wild is almost guaranteed and rumors of a special console. If Stars is real, it might be launch and rumors of a console. Basically any games we’ve heard floating around have a good chance of being in the launch window or a fairly early release. To me, if it’s got a decent changes compared to the WiiU BOTW or a special console, that’s worth buying it on launch alone. Honestly just being able to take BOTW to campus to play during breaks would be worth it. So anything else in the launch window is just bonus. If we’re getting an hour presentation Thursday and streams Friday, there’s clearly a decent number of games coming close to if not on launch. And I think they’ve learned from the WiiU’s launch to have a better line up.
