#sorry for liking a gatcha game

+Doodling for my beloved eve Iduna🩷

finally dragged him home kicking and screaming 🥰

[kalashtars]

honestly I kinda love playing tft because whenever someone comes to my board and starts spamming question marks I'm like "dude I don't have a clue either" and it really feels like a bonding moment

[sorenblr]

What was it like when games had "Replay Value" and "Fun Factor"? Why are games today designed to have "'Neverending Play'" and "Salt Factor"?

Games have been pretty much dogshit since they stopped prioritizing "Fun Factor"...

But yeah, it just wasn't as viable to try and hold players in years-long compulsion loops before widespread online functionality and the design/business practices that this enabled: patching, microtransactions, GaaS/Gatcha structures etc. It's not that this wasn't always the desired outcome- the industry even in its nascency attempted to monetize "Neverending Play" with arcades and the design philosophies that formed around coin-based play- only the overhead cost was far greater and the potential for direct profit piddling compared to modern practices. Even MMOs required a relatively large investment in digital infrastructure that ensured only a few could achieve long-term sustainability- Gatcha games similarly come and go every quarter, but the buy-in is a fraction of whatever it took to get The Matrix Online off the ground.

"Replay Value" meanwhile found joint expression with "Neverending Play" in the Roguelike genre. This is critically one of the few pathways to commercial success for indies that lack access to massive digital infrastructures or lucrative IPs- a way of suggesting hundreds of hours of compulsive play (notice how often the phrase "gameplay loop" is deployed to describe specifically player compulsion cycles) with a relatively modest asset base. The same ethos of variety-within-scarcity underlines the popularity of deck-building mechanics and makes their inclusion attractive to developers forced to appease arbitrary ideas of hour-to-dollar value, to slip past the refund window on Steam etc.

Sorry if this was a more serious reply then was merited, but the gaming industry is just a constellation of profoundly evil business practices and the modern notion of the "forever game" (i.e. a single piece of software that extracts attention and capital from an audience in perpetuity) is one of its supreme expressions. It would be good if the earth opened her mouth and swallowed the entire Embracer Group executive suite tomorrow.

Okey, I need to talk about Obey me. Not the Fandom nor the characters, I need to talk about the game.

I've been in this fandom for about four years, I know I'm not the oldest player but I've invested a lot of time and money in this game. I've never been this hyper fixated on any other game or anime for so long, and I still love Obey…. But I'm starting to get disappointed with the game.

The main story isn't a problem (it has its bad things and such, but that's always been the case), but everything else is lacking a lot. The events are monotonous, without any plot in most cases and getting the rewards from those events is too difficult. Obey me used to secure me a ssr card with 100 000 event points, but not now. And in nightbringer I find it really hard, it's like if you don't have a gatcha card or two you can't advance much to get the rewards in the event.

And that's another one, the nightmare runs, they have reduced the character birthdays to nightmare events, whose stories in devilgram have lost quality too ( in my opinion) and to exclusive things that cost real money, I AM POOR, it's impossible for me to get all the cards I like or all the content, because we have a new event every 15 days, and in nightbringer you need to get twice the card to be able to raise a card to level 100 or unlock all its chats. And I can't spend real money, no more.

The original game is abandoned, they only update nigtmare and events. They don't even give you the opportunity to get nightmare cards from other events anymore. I have the feeling that everything I got in that game was useless.

I love Obey me, it is a game that has accompanied me in the hardest moment of my life, and its characters are already part of me, but I am disenchanted, every day I find it harder to get into the two games to do the daily tasks or get points, to try to get cards that I am not going to get. Am I the only one in this state?

Sorry for the rant, but I needed to get it off my chest.

I know twisted wonderland is disney branded but i thought it was owned by disney japan? I was told that regular disney and disney japan aren't exactly the same entity so does boycotting twst and related merch actually do anything? Genuine question!

I'm no business expert or anything, and do correct me if I'm wrong, but I think disney jp is just a geografic division for the walt disney company (that is donating 2 million dollars and siding with Israel, cough) so like this, probably whatever disney jp owns goes to disney company in general too. (I find it difficult to think that whatever profits the japanese division makes stays in that section exclusively 🤔)

Boycotting disney properties include things like their streaming service, the parks and whatever they make, and I don't see how their games section would be any different or disconnected from all of those others in any way. Buy hey, until I find out that maybe, in some crazy twist of fate, that a super profitable gatcha game doesn't give back to Michael the Mouse himself, I'd rather be safe than sorry and hold myself back from buying some keys for that cool character card at this present moment. It's like very very least thing we could do

[eerna]

Out of curiousity, what was it about genshin that you hated? I'm not very far through it and now I'm curious what to expect from the story and you have good takes usually (Like aside from the gatcha system, which I stay safe from the clutches of by only engaging with genshin through my friend streaming it sometimes)

Sorry if this is kicking a hornet's nest, in which case no pressure to answer, but I would genuinely like to hear your thoughts on it

Thanks! That's ok, I am always up for some hornet's nest kicking :3 (note: this user never posts any of her opinions in main tags because she wants to avoid kicking hornet's nests as much as possible)

OK I will be a bit short and vague on it bc there's a Lot to cover and idk which parts exactly interest you. In any case it needs a keep reading

Yeah, I never paid a single coin for Genshin, all of my investment was done through time and braincells. The story is the same in every region you go to. You arrive, you wanna talk to the Archon, there is a problem caused by the baddies, you solve the problem, you talk to the Archon, the baddies take the Archon's thingie, you meet your sibling, the sibling goes away. This wouldn't be a bad formula, there's lots of wiggle room for fun yearly adventures, but the dialogue and the characters make it unbearably boring. The dialogue is just everyone talking in circles, repeating the same thing over and over again, broken up by meaningless conversation choices. You can't skip it, which is stupid because the MOMENT the conversation ends PAIMON JUST SUMMARIZES WHAT WAS SAID AND HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FEEL ABOUT IT. After a while your sanity starts slipping. You can't even hang onto interesting personalities, because everyone in that game is an anime stereotype meant for fanservice depending on your type. My fav is the magical pirate woman with a big sword who has a lawful ruler gf!!! OF COURSE my fav is THE MAGICAL PIRATE WOMAN WITH A BIG SWORD WHO HAS A LAWFUL RULER GF because that's the type of shit I enjoy in better media so I am automatically more willing to like these cardboard cutouts. It's like the game is allergic to stopping and digging deeper into its themes or messages, everything is to be taken at face value, it honestly feels like a preschool TV show with jiggle physics. I know a lot of people say the game lore is super cool, but honestly it just reads like typical anime fantasy without any rhyme or reason behind it to me. What I DO like about the lore is the certain ideas behind the regions and the way nature (and the elements) are interwoven through the map. Exploration is 1000000% the best part of the game, the music accompanying the areas is beautiful and the views are very pretty. Honestly, the best time I've had with the game is when my friends and I would run around the map, talking aimlessly about whatever was happening in our lives, the one veteran showing us newbies cool spots or farming grounds.

All in all, hope you do have fun with it, but I honestly can't say it is a good game.

Liza from Saga Frontier

Liza is a side character from Saga Frontier who features most prominently in Emelia's scenario. She is a tough and reserved, yet caring woman.

On the surface she's a waitress at an Italian restaurant in Koorong, but she actually works for a resistance group called Gradius whose base is the restaurant. They fight against Trinity, a corrupt organization involved in criminal activity that acts as the government in many areas. She assigns duties and goes on missions for Gradius.

Liza used to be in a relationship with Roufas, Gradius' leader, and still has lingering feelings for him; he is likely the reason she joined in the first place. Nicknamed "The Iron Woman," she is the best martial artist in the game, as well as being proficient in swords and magic.

Initial stats:

STR 14 + 5 QUI 24 INT 20 WIL 13 PSY 18 VIT 12 CHA 20 DEF 12

Translation of passage from Essence of Saga Frontier by Kenton Alkemi:

“This is so exciting!” [Emelia’s Scenario – Quote]

"Liza says this as she stands next to Emelia, who has been chosen to participate in the Masked Martial Arts Tournament. It seems that even the “Iron Woman” can get excited about something. One could say that Liza has martial arts mania, having already mastered Aikido and other styles."

Personally, I suspect that Liza and Tifa are based on the same character concept, although they turned out quite differently in execution. They:

belong to a resistance group fighting an evil organization, both of which are based out of a restaurant

have feelings for a member of the group

are martial artists

wear short skirts

have similar names

know a man named Roufas/Rufus

And as you can see from the above concept art from Essence of Saga Frontier featuring characters from Final Fantasy 7, Square clearly circulated ideas throughout the company and used the same ideas in different games.

The fact that both both games have a leader character named Roufas/Rufus (one as leader of an evil organization, one as leader of the resistance) points to this as well. It's not a stretch to think that they also used the concept for Tifa in this game.

Art of Liza from gatcha games:

[How Can I Help You?] Liza Whatever you need, I can help. Legal, illegal... what sort of services do you require? I promise you we won't let you down.

[Thought I was Helpless?] Liza You let your guard down because I don't use weapons. But these fists and feet are all the weapons I need. Care for more?

[In Your Dreams] Liza Perhaps you're thinking, "Someone would actually arrange a meet up in a dark alley like this?" Even if I am waiting for someone, it's not you. Besides, with your ugly mug, I don't think there'd be anyone willing to wait for you.

[Get It Done Quickly] Liza You won't get paid more for taking longer, so it's better to get it done quickly. That said, don't get sloppy, and stay alert. It's a simple job. We do it clean. We do it fast.

[Special Menu for Today] Liza A special menu for a special day. Roufas said it would be fine to stick to the usual, but the special menu is working wonders. We're all booked up today. With someone like that managing us, isn't Gradius in trouble?

[You're Going to Work Now?!] Liza Look at the time. I don't want to miss the sunset, so let's find a place where we can have a drink wearing this. Sorry, what? You're joking, right? No way... You wanna be top brass that badly?!

[Best Moment Ever!] Liza The moment I take off my wetsuit, I feel the wind on my skin. It's such an exhilarating feeling. It sure feels great on the waves and in the sea, but this is a different kind of pleasure.

[meimi-haneoka]

Hey there. Hope things have been well for you. Things have been hectic here and I just realised today that CCS Memory Key has not been released in my country. 😭 I wanted to play it so bad. I keep seeing these really cute updates of tsundere Syaoran and his burgeoning feelings for Sakura. 😭 I am like 98 per cent certain by now that Syaoran has his *ehm* own personal preferences regarding Sakura and her clothing thanks to this game. He definitely has a weakness for Sakura in pink+maid+kitty. ROFL. He could not take his eyes off Sakura in that pink maid dress in episode 56 and also, that pink kitty maid was the first costume that he saw her in the anime. *That* definitely left an impression. *Snickers* 😂 Also, he got two tickets for a music masquerade from Tomoyo and was asking Sakura out in the most tsundere way possible. This despite Meiling existing in the game and being Clow Card arc. 😂 He is down so bad. So very bad.

Sorry for replying to this so late, Aubretia!! I'm sorry to hear Memory Key hasn't been released in your country!! 😟 The game is quite fun and the art is *really* nice, but let me tell you after one month of play....you're not missing *that much*. First of all, a few days ago the game went completely down for an entire day because the devs didn't pay/forgot to pay for the renewal of the domain, making all the servers unaccessible during a public holiday. It was extremely unprofessional and lots of people rushed to ask for refunds, in fear of having been scammed. Futhermore, I hear a lot of complaints about the gatcha system, the game design in general and the translation too (this one I can see too, and it's painfully clear they're doing the several languages translations with AI). If that wasn't enough, the SyaoSaku content isn't so present as you might think. It's actually very focused on Sakura's feelings for Yukito because the canon story stops at episode 30 for now, so you get a lot of side stories with Yukito asking Sakura out or Sakura gushing about Yukito. To be honest, I skip all those side stories. In general, I take all the original content of this game as an "AU", because it doesn't give off a vibe of "this could be canon without problems" like Happiness Memories strongly gave me.

[bigkickguy]

I'm sorry but I have another stupid limbus theory about Dante's identity! I think it is even sillier than my last one but also i like it way more haha Lobotomy corporation spoilers ! Leviathan spoilers !

cogito straw jump scare !

Ok I like the idea that Dante used to be a member of the original L corp as an employee for the Extraction team. It would be cool if they were specifically the employee who had Express Train to Hell extracted from them back in the first lab. 1. We know from wonderlab that all of the Lcorp employees use they/them and I've seen people mention that is because there was no place to record the gender of employees in-game? I have no idea if that is true and I would think it is slightly less fun than just a 100% cast of characters without gender on random chance all working for the same place - but for the sake of my crack theory let's assume its true for a second here! (I think it's a hilarious theory in many ways and I enjoy the absurd concept of LC somehow stealing employees' gender but I will not go into that now.) 2. We also know that Dante has the same 2 weird dot's on the front of their clock that Express Train to Hell has. That lines up with many of Vergilus' lines about going to hell and the whole Dante's Inferno pile of references and why the bus is actually looking like a train. I don't remember if it's implied or mentioned but Faust built both the train and Dante's new head so I'm pretty sure they're connected (they at least seem that way visually) 3. I think it is funny that rolling the gatcha for characters uses the same term extraction as the process that Binah was in charge of for filling up the lab with abnormalities. Binah mentions that Carmen and cogito basically do all the work inside someone's head and then the extraction team pulls it out. I'm assuming that means making the abnormality a physical separate entity. Binah specifies that the employees don't watch or listen to what they are doing - they just follow her instructions. She implies looking too hard into the eyes of the employees who are injected with cogito and are extracted from would cause many people to go mad.

How does this relate to what Faust told Vergilius in leviathan? I wonder how similar the strange cogito state is compared to how Charon lost her memories of being Lapis. It's possible that when Faust mentions Vergilius can save Lapis and Garnet she is referring in part to restoring Lapis' original identity. This would line up with the motivation (assuming Faust was telling the truth) to make Vergilius sign on as the Limbus Company Guide.

And if this theory is true that opens up a lot of interesting ideas for what the company is after. If the original employee super dosed with cogito is looking into 'the well' of human consciousness or whatever the phrasing was - what will they remember when they wake up? What is on the other side in there - is limbus company after that information? Do they know something is there and they want more details? Do they want an example that the theoretical way to rehabilitate people from this state works? Did they pick Dante on purpose due to some properties of the Express Train to Hell - or would they have picked at random with any intact employee they could find? It feels more like a mission a corporation in the city would realistically take.

Do they want to become the next L Corp? Are they looking for that singularity to replace them? It lines up as a feasible way they could do that while taking they actions they have so far in the story i think? It's another silly crack theory but I enjoy thinking about it all :)

[aparticularbandit]

so. I've just finished the last trial and just. I don't even know what to think of it yet, part of me loves the ambiguous ending but at the same time I want to know what happened (will dr2 address that even?? my fear for spoilers is just too big)

but also like. the artworks?????? the promo arts, character details and all... ended up spending all my coins on it

I liked all of them, but specially 'Here Comes Junko!' and 'Preview Image 1', would definitely buy posters of these

actually that's not true, the Junko character arts (genuine and Mukuro) made me very very very uncomfortable

anyways, sorry for venting to you like that, came to ask your thoughts on the dr1 ending :))

No spoilers. Play DR2. It is.... Let's be honest, I like DR2 significantly more than I like DR1. Also you get to meet my precious child Mikan Tsumiki the most precious child in the series so far who deserves nothing more than a warm blanket and a mug of hot chocolate and good pats on the head.

I had so many coins throughout the game because I kept going back to finish all the FTEs (for the dead characters) between chapters and then had to do the Class Trials again to get back into the chapter I was at but a lot of my coins went to the MonoMono Machine because I was pretending to be a completionist and wanted all of the Gatcha toys. >.>;;;;;

(wait why do the junko and mukuro stuff make you uncomfortable though)

Okay, so like. my concept of the ending was a lot of hype for Junko and then meeting Junko and then feeling like she was overhyped. I think this is a place where the game did better than the anime; at least, I liked how she was done better in the game.

But, and this is important to me, Makoto asked her to leave with them. Like. Here is the mastermind. Who did all of the horrible things to them. Who has said that she caused the most horrible most tragic most despair-inducing event in the history of the world (I probably do not have those descriptors 100% accurate, don't judge me DR fans). And Makoto just. Hey, you want to get out of here with us? Be my new bestie?

M A K O T O. C'MON. Byakuya's going to kill her if she doesn't punish herself what are you thinking. Honestly.

I'm a huge fan of ambiguous endings, though. Particularly in this case. The story isn't about what's waiting for them outside; it's about them surviving. And they survived! ...some of them, at least!

(And so did Monokuma! Apparently! XD)

but also who is your favorite character so far this is the real important question here

OH AND ALSO ALSO if you want additional etc. (I probably won't all the light novels and expanded manga and whatever but I do recommend this one, even if I don't think the writing is great) - I would suggest reading a fan translation of DR0 before playing DR2. It's a prequel! About Ryoko Otonashi! Who has amnesia! And also Junko keeps showing up for some reason and also people keep dying. Around Ryoko. Who insists that this has absolutely nothing to do with her at all absolutely nothing she's absolutely sure of it. (I think this is the fan translation I read.)

Think of it as Dory (from Finding Nemo) is stuck in Danganronpa. Dory who has a notebook where she can write things down so she can remember them later. So Dory but also that guy from Memento. But like. Dory.

(Ryoko is sweet and also deserves better in the same way that everyone in this series deserves better.)

My Transformers writing metas of characters who a lot could be done with continues with a character that actually did get a lot of attention in the previous comic run with IDW, but did so as essentially an original character, since IDW, as we've previously established, did not like human characters or Japanese concepts. That being said, there's probably a lot you can do with the character in the new Energon Universe.

Overlord in Transformers Masterforce is the ultimate weapon of the two leaders of the Decepticons on Earth, the humans Giga and Mega. A Double Godmaster (namely a Godmaster that requires two Godmaster engines to function) Overlord beat Ginrai to within an inch of his life the first time they fought, forcing the Autobots to create the God Ginrai powerups to actually have any hope of fighting him on equal footing. It's actually interesting because a human mastermind (or two in this case, the husband and wife team) stepping onto the field with a Decepticon that made Megatron look lightly armed was a turning point for the conflict in the series.

For what it's worth, while it's not outright said, the Overlord in the Earth Wars gatcha game is implied to be this version, not the IDW version.

IDW chose to dismiss the human connections in favor of a Cybertronian who was a combat-loving warlord without any Godmaster/Powermaster abilities or human control. He's essentially a Caligula figure, happy to kill people for sport in his arenas and proclaim his own glory without any care for the people he hurts or the other Decepticons who are shown to barely stand the guy. Overlord's portrayal in the IDW series is often considered a highlight to show the cruelty that the Decepticon ranks create.

There's also his appearance in Power of the Primes, but that was widely considered a dumpster fire of a production with the writers, Machinima, having gone out of business years ago. I'm sensing a pattern with the writers Hasbro hires for their adult animation takes on the franchise.

Anyway, with a character that has had two very distinct portrayals, with more recent work trying to get away from the latter portrayal, there's definitely a lot Skybound could do with him, although much of it may not be feasible till a few years down the road -

Overlord, Decepticon Powermaster looking for a vestigal empire:

If the writers are a fan of the IDW portrayal but don't want to completely abandon the Powermaster/Godmaster concept, the best idea may be to have Overlord be someone seeking human or even alien aid to increase his own power. Cybertron has been shown to be in a pretty sorry state, but there's nothing to say that he couldn't have started his own empire somewhere else. This keeps Overlord as his own bot, and allows him to still have the Powermaster trappings of human partners while still keeping the Caligula trappings of IDW of someone who could have ran Cybertron instead of Shockwave, but was more concerned with personal power and fighting strong opponents than any sort of formal authority. This also leaves a lot of ideas for new characters that could bounce off of him.

2. Overlord: Transector of SKAR:

Now that the Energon Universe has somehow, against all odds, gotten people excited about Cobra-La of all things, it may not be long before in an attempt to further differentiate itself from Larry Hama's original GI Joe comics, begin digging for other ideas that have been declared unusable. And when it comes to GI Joe ideas that aren't looked upon fondly, even more so than Cobra-La, there's SKAR, the main villains of...GI Joe Extreme.

Yes, this was real. Season 3 was even going to connect it to the original series with SKAR being revealed as a front for Cobra, with Iron Klaw set to butt heads with Cobra Commander before the show got canceled.

If you were going to go the "Overlord is a Transector" route, rather than have Giga and Mega on their own, considering that the Decepticons will still be around, it may be worth it to mine the existing characters they have and adapt them to the concept. So in this case, the function of Giga and Mega as masterminds overseeing a conflict until Overlord allows them to go directly into battle could easily be filled by SKAR's two leaders, Iron Klaw/Count Von Raimi, and his second in command, Steel Raven.

Funny enough, they seem like they could take the roles of Giga and Mega quite easily from a visual standpoint.

So I think the ultimate question concerning Overlord and how he gets portrayed boils down to one question. Is he his own character or is he a proxy for others? Either one could be used here while heavily involving human characters in a way IDW didn't. But this is just my looking at a concept in the Powermasters I feel deserves a chance to shine.

[maleyanderecafe]

Any iOS games with a gender-neutral MC?

Oh man, I did try to look for gender-neutral games for iOS but man it's not really that easy. I imagine a lot of gender-neutral games with yanderes are gatcha games or something adjacent, but I don't really play those games, so if any of y'all know any of them you can just tell me.

Honestly the only ones I can really think of are like Obey Me, Otome Chat Collection (maybe?) and Can you Escape Love? I guess if you can get some of the yandere itchio vns to work on mobile, it could work? But I don't know a whole lot of iOS games with a gender-neutral MC, sorry about that.

Oh right, Sunny Day Jack' Sleepy Time App and DachaBo at sometime in the future.

[cyclist-of-guilt]

Sorry but follow up because we got tie

[glitterguts13]

In genshin and hsr who are your favorites? It can be a category or fave from each body type/gender/element whatever and to balance it out, do you have any hsr/genshin characters you don't vibe with doesn't have to be outright hate but just not your fave either be story/design/personality or any reason really

How about I once again ramble on far too long and just rank all the characters from each series? (I love to yap, I'm the worst yapper) Only doing HSR right now but I'll do Genshin another day!

HSR (going by Element)

Fire

Himeko

5/10

I love her dearly, and I think her design is stunning. The only reason I give her such a neutral rating is because the story hasn't really let me connect with her yet. She still feels like a stranger despite being with us the longest, and I really want more content focused on her, her past and other Trailblazers she's known.

Topaz

4/10

Design wise, I love her. I love Numby, and I think she was the perfect way to introduce us to the higher ups of the IPC. I just don't really care much for her character. I don't connect with her, but I don't dislike her either. I want to see her and Aventurine interact more in the future, I need to know if they're friends or they hate each other's guts.

Asta

1/10

I don't like her design and I find her terribly boring. Honestly if she hadn't been the first character I E6'd I'd forget she was even in the game.

Gallagher

8/10

Real talk, I did not and still do not understand WTF this man was doing or what he was talking about. I love him dearly tho because goddamn it Hoyo we need more old men. Design wise, he's a little plain but that just works in his favorite. Also I still crack jokes about the "I'm Thirteen." line.

Guinaifen

5/10

Great design, her ult is one of my favorites. I loved her in the HouHou event and I really want to see more of her in the future. She's cute and charming.

Hook

2/10

I don't like her design and I don't really care about her as a character. Her relationship with her dad is very sweet tho.

Ice

Gepard

7/10

Biased because baby boy carried my ass from the start up until Aventurine knocked him off my main team. E3 with his signature Lightcone, the gatcha gods have pushed us together. Design wise I think he's rather dull, but he's a wonderful brother and I just want to squish his cheeks and tell him he's doing a good job.

Jingliu

4/10

One of the best designs in the game, but I feel like so much of her story was ignored in place of Blade and Dan Heng. I want more of her, I want to see her what she was like before everything went down. Give me more Jingliu lore Hoyo.

Ruan Mei

1/10

Ok, I know this is petty, and I'm sorry. I would have given her a 9/10 before I did the cat cake quest, but after seeing how she treated those precious babies (I am a massive cat person) I was just so upset. I know that's dumb, and I do enjoy that Hoyo gave us a genuinely morally gray character. I just love cats too much-

Yanqing

5/10

I have no feelings either way about him. Design is meh, story was meh. I'm open to changing my opinion in the future if we see more of him.

Herta

5/10

I love that they made her doll body look like a doll (looking at Wanderer Hoyo) but I don't care about her either way. She's middle ground.

March 7th

7/10

Sweet baby girl, I will protect you with my life. A ray of sunshine in this dark world, I'm very excited about her new alt. Side note, do you ever just have a headcanon about a character that's so strong you forget it isn't canon? For me I've been headcanoning March as a trans woman for so long I genuinely forget she's not.

Misha

7/10

Sweet baby boy I am still not over what happened to you. Adorable design, heartbreaking story. You'll never be forgotten.

Pela

8/10

I love her so dearly, I think her design is perfection. Her VA brought me to tears during her story while crying for her mother. Absolutely gut wrenching, I will defend her with my life.

Imaginary

Aventurine

10/10

I cried like a fucking bitch playing his story. I hated his guts when we first meet him at the hotel and the way I turned around was whiplash. He's wonderful and perfect and I hope to God he gets to know some form of genuine freedom one day. However this is Hoyo and I know better.

Dan Heng: Imbibitor Lunae

8/10

Easily one of my favorite designs. Slutty ass little waist I just wanna grab- anyway I think he's neat.

Dr Ratio

7/10

I don't care for his design but goddamnit if he doesn't make me cackle. I know he isn't meant to be funny but his deadpan line delivery kills me, and his interactions with Aventurine were some of the best.

Loucha

??/10

HEY HOYO WHERE DID HE GO?? TELL ME SOMETHING ABOUT THIS MAN FOR FUCKS SAKE IM SO LOST

Welt

10/10

The love I have for this old man is unhealthy and should be studied. Man made me read Impact Lore I'm down so bad and you know what else HES STILL NOT HOME JUST COME HOME IM TIRED OF LOSING TO GEPARD

Yukong

7/10

Doomed lesbians. Give her her wife back Hoyo, and don't you DARE TOUCH HER DAUGHTER

Lightning

Archeron

5/10

Great design, absolutely peak. I just don't connect with her, nothing to say either way.

Bailu

8/10

My sweet daughter, I will protect her at all costs.

Jing Yuan

9/10

I am not immune to Daddy Jing Yuan. Great design, great character and I want to see him interact with Jingliu more. Give me angst, give me feeling.

Kafka

10/10

I only picked up HSR because of her, and I still don't have her. This feels like a personal attack. Sexy as fuck, step on me, Jesus christ she is everything.

Arlan

1/10

I have no real reason I just do not like him. Design or character wise, I find him boring and uninteresting.

Serval

8/10

Hot big gay sister. She's beautiful, she's talented and she's another one on the list with a dead girlfriend. Would give my kidney just to hold her hand.

Tingyun

6/10

WHY DID THEY DO THAT TO HER????

Physical

Boothill

10/10

I would do disgusting things for this man. Might be the only character story that made me cry while reading and not playing. I'm both thrilled and terrified to see how his interactions with Aventurine go in the future. Give me more slutty, sad cyborg.

Robin

7/10

Beautiful design and she made my heartache. She loved her brother so much, but they'll never be able to recover the bond they used to have...teared up when she caught Sunday while he fell.

Argenti

8/10

I just think he's neat.

Clara

9/10

THATS MY DAUGHTER, THAT IS MY BABY. I WILL COMMIT CRIMES TO SEE HER SAFE AND HAPPY AND ALSO PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR ROBOT FATHERS NUMBER HES REALLY HOT-

Hanya

5/10

Stunning design, but I have nothing else to say about her, good or bad.

Luka

-1/10

He might be the only character I actively hate. I don't like his design and I don't like him. I'm sorry to Luka stans, I do not stand with you.

Natasha

5/10

Again, neutral on all account.

Sushang

2/10

Forgot all about her until just now.

Quantum

I give them all a 5/10

I feel 100% neutral on all of them. Sparkle gets a 2/10 tho because holy shit you didn't have to say *that* to Aventurine.

Black Swan

8/10

Everything about her design is perfection and she was just a delight to follow in game. I love her, I want to see more of her.

Blade

4/10

3 of the 4 points is just because of Dan Hang. I don't like Blade at all, unpopular opinion I know.

Bronya

5/10

Again, totally neutral. Love her earrings tho.

HuoHuo

9/10

Baby, angel, sweetest creature alive. I will do anything to make her feel safe and I will personal pick a fight with Mr. Tail for upsetting her. Also FUCK her parents, how dare they do that to their daughter.

Dan Heng

6/10

Hes neat, but I don't really care either way. Did love him with Boothill tho, that was unnecessarily funny.

Sampo

8/10

STINKY TRASH MAN FUNNY I want to hurt him.

I'm sorry I need to vent about the new banner today cause I'm about to cry about it. I'm happy for Dorothy to get in heroes but I'm literally asking "where's Elffin?" Like this man is one of the most important playable characters of the whole game, two of his generals are in the game (just missing one, the Larum's Dad), he's royal but he's still not in heroes when gimmicks and tertiary characters are already there (sorry Cath but you are as hard to recruit as forgettable).

So I'm just asking why? Why IS refuse to us to have it (honestly if someone has an explanation I would like to have it) ? It's make me very sad because I love him a lot, he's my favorite binding blade character and I would like to see him in the game, it's like... Already 6 years pls. And Perceval is still waiting for him... as I do... TwT

(first time I post something else than a drawing and it's for venting my sadness over a gatcha.... Sorry for that)
