/f/ - Fandom Generals

It's a one stop situation. Replaying this game doesn't really benefit you in any way the way a lot of classical rpgs does. You can do everything in 1 run besides the dragons and NG+ isn't really a fun steamroll. And the sidequests themselves, while good, are a bit sparse compared to other jrpg. So it's not like re-doing them really yields anything interesting after the first time. And replaying is how a lot of jrpg get fans as there is always more to see and share.

There is very little actually keeping anyone in the world itself. To elaborate, take SMT/Persona. In each of those games, there's generally a 'what if' to enemy encounters and antagonists that leave a lot of room for alternate possibilities. And the cast is dynamic with so many personalities and each person has a role to play in how events turn out. Nahobino and SMTV even has canon soul mates. And SMTV barely even has a story. The world is just that vast and good for fandom.

Metaphor is rich with lore and has a gorgeous setting- but there's very little really going on with anyone outside of the MC and everyone's lives sort of depend on the plot that happens. I don't know if this makes sense or not- but there's just not a lot of impact going on the way it is in other fandoms. Strohl's story sort of ends and begins with Will. Why ship him with any of the other boys when they don't have anything to do with one another? Some people are happy and satisfied with hot boy x hot boy but that doesn't keep a fandom going. Almost all of the content I've seen still going is with Louis because he's the only character who has depth and dimension. Sure his one sides situationship with his henchmen is very Grifith and band of the hawk but this circles back to the world being sparse on side content. And anime only weebs aren't going to begin to try and read the manga.

>what is it about this game that makes people not give a shit?
It's hard to put into words. I was chomping at the bit for this when they first released that concept art of the redheaded elf who would later become Hulkenberg and I feel like they flubbed my initial expectations in a way that made it impossible for me to really "forgive" the game and click with it. A sequel to SMT x FE, lol.

A less personal critique is that it lacks the sandbox quality that tends to draw in and retain fujoshi creators.

>>5568
I'm late to the party, I'm around 30 hours into the game and I think Strowill is cute but also that I want Louis to diddle them both

Kek of course the new charas are boys. Non-fujos on suicide watch.

fuck I wanna play this so badly
>>5552
why the hell would you play this game if you aren't a fujo? this clearly leans into fujo territory even if you are a yume player. also why the fuck would we want or need female characters

>>5552
I like Rielle the fork in his hair is cute.

>>5264
Za hando. Just make me disappear.

Who else watched the first episode of SBR?
I was a bit bummed out with the way it looked when the teasers first dropped, but honestly it's not even that bad. I'm even warming up to the new seiyuus. Plus SBR itself is just so hype I'm willing to overlook a few obvious cgi scenes here and there, but rest assured not a cent of my money is going into Netflix's pockets kek

>>5543
I didn't, since I was under the mistaken impression it was going to air tomorrow. Time to rectify that! Good to hear the seiyuus are ok, ngl was bitter about the recast so it's the thing I am/was most worried about

I'm a huge fan of Kristoph/Apollo because age gaps and boss/employee dynamics are really hot to me, but it's a shame there's not much with the pairing. Most of the art I could find are from scrubbed/dead Japanese fansites from the late 2000s. LiveJournal used to have some doujins, too, but they're ancient megaupload links so they've been long dead.

Surprised nobody has posted Y2K fashion disaster Wrightworth

>>5539
It should have been hobo Wright wearing that fit instead. I also don't hate Edgeworth's as much as I thought I would, the little ribbons are cute.

>>3341
What about the version on Google Play?

>>5513
Bizarre crossover, I hope it's not just skins.

>Favourite Cookie?
Millennial Tree will forever be my favorite. His design (nature and femboy looks), his canon deep voice, and how he's often forgotten by devsisters…kinda makes him more mysterious and cool for me lol. Still hurtst tho…he's like, jesus cookie. C'mon man. Also i have a soft spot for Yogurt Cream since I started playing the game when he was first released. For Kingdom, I love Eclair. Dark Choco was my first love, and Churro cookie is soooooooo underrated it hurts. He's so cute bros
>Best ships?
Millenial x Wind Archer/Churro
Yogurt Cream x Lilac
Milk x Dark choco
>Do you like humanised fanart or do you prefer normal Cookie fanart?
both. We gotta admit that human Almond cookie is just peak design tho
>Ovenbreak, Kingdom or both?
Ovenbreak. Kindgom bore me to death. I only downloaded it to have a town to place Millennial on when he gets added to Kingdom
>Looking forward to the new games?
Not really. I don't think Devsis knows how to advertise their other games. And honestly the fandom already has everything they want with Kingdom and Ovenbreak.

Ok your guys cute art convinced mw I'm downloading Ovenbreak.

Necrobump but I love these 2, curse this fandom for hating anything Yogurca related

I'm the type of fujo who just prefers for the bigger guy to top the smaller guy but what I like about Red hot x Deep blue is that the fanartists so far don't seem to make blue a weepy bottom but an assertive one.

Bless this new slutty thigh outfit from the variant dungeon that's compatible with male characters.

I've really been thinking about some of the conversations I've seen on fujochan about how cancerous gacha game writing can be by making it all about MC wanking. As much as I think Dawntrail MSQ was dogshit for making it the Wuk lamat and Sphene show, two characters I could never bring myself to give a fuck about, I feel like it could also be bad if they veer too much in the opposite direction to make it all about the WoL. You could argue Shadowbringers was WoL-centric and it was still good but I think that expansion was carried moreso by the excellent writing of the supporting cast, especially Emet and the Exarch.

fuckkkk tetsuo is so hot I love this part of the game

>>5498
This is the first time I'm seeing someone say something positive about Tetsuo. I found Makoto and Zenya to be much more likeable than him, personally.
I'd like to hear what you think of the game once you've finished all the routes anon.

>>5499
I kek at his sheer seme-ness. To be honest his purpose is just to deliver dick to Youji. I will have to update you after I am finished with all the routes.

>>5476
is that the dad and grandpa of Naruto?

>>5478
After they were isekai-ed into the Pokemon universe.

>>5473
>their increase in otaku pandering.
To me, Iono and Canari very blatantly feel like this. Way more obvious than the shotas and old men, though I admit that it's probably my personal bias.

>>5314
Thanks!! I drew a little something today.

I've been playing the games for the first time. Am at Mega Man 4 right now. So far I've been really enjoying them!

>>5489
Nonnie, your art is adorable! I never thought much about Megaman shipping besides X/Zero, but you're really convincing me on these two.

>>5491
I'm glad to hear that! I made another doodle of them lol. Snake Man is already so cute on his own… But seeing him get all happy and excited for a fat round toad robot… It's so stupidly cute!
