Now I don’t mean to come off like I’m knocking on this, but how come Blue Reflection keeps getting games (that are going in a direction that’s apt to piss off its audience) but we still haven’t gotten a third Nights of Azure game.

#like. if you're going to throw in a male MC into a series that's chock full of girls and yuri subtext more power to you #but if you HAVE to make it work #b/c AFAIK blue reflection stood on its own w/o any guys to either sink that subtext or make the girls rely on a guy to save them #and if there are guys - which i don't think there are - they're not important #it's a girl's world and they're just living in it!#like there were a couple guys in NoA1 but they didn't overtake the story #b/c it wasn't about them #what i'm trying to say is: it's not so much about genres as it is about sales #or trying to capture lightning in a bottle #b/c. again. AFAIK blue reflection isn't exactly pulling anywhere near the same amount of numbers as the atelier games are #and i'm going to assume NoA2 didn't sell as much b/c there hasn't been any indication the IP will be continued #and yet it feels like gust is. not trying to reinvent the wheel but add an element to BR that will renew interest in it #i'm over here like. magical girls are a dime a dozen.#and maybe that makes it easier to pitch and make bank b/c cute girls #but how often do you get a dark fantasy series that's explicitly yuri??#i'm going to assume it's not often!#idk #i'm rambling
