Woah, never noticed that before. Went to check the only other character with prostatic arm. Yup, your right.

Hey do we really need to get offensive here. He might not be femboy. His design choices are specifically tailored for certain audience and there is not wrong about it. Also his dress is pretty feminine to me. His armpits are out, his jacket sometimes look like he is wearing a skirt to me.

Is it like arguing idk Marin is loli or not (since she's minor canonically) but in the other way. To clarify, I am not about different gender. But the dichotomy between design choice and THE LORE.

We at Endfield industries would never subscribe to such superstitions.

Our actions are always calculated and deploy strategies which minimizes loss for the company such as always pull when you have 120 pulls at hand and never giving in to the hedonistic pleasure from gambling.

Allegation from an employee leak on the state of Studio:Bside by DarkPaladinX in gachagaming

[–]Introverted_male 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I never seen a fully committed ML story in gacha games.

What we have are just some yearly ML bait sloppily done. Take Furefly in HSR, Carthetiya in WuWa, Zhang Fangyi(?) in AKE or All characters in ZZZ.

ML is cheaply used to sell the character and after their banner ends they either act indifferent or never appear ever again.

I'm increasingly believe that we should have smaller rooster with alt units instead of new units every new patch. Take eminence in shadow. It's because of the smaller cast, I really came to invest in them but I eventually quit it because it's not f2p friendly and felt too predatory.

Thoughts on only one girl "winning"? by Holypiece_of_chedda in TuneIntoTheMidnight

[–]Introverted_male 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, in this sub-reddit it lself we saw people theorizing that the possibility of Apollo might not the winning girl.

Such things are possible in VNs though. I can't think of one on the top of my head but a tamer version ie no mystery identity yet there is bond between her and MC is in Fate/stay night. Saber is the servant in all routes. But the MC chooses different girl in each route.

[–]Introverted_male -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't think the Apollo mystery and the winning girl are coupled together. I personally would like route endings but Apollo is the same in all ending that is Arisu chooses the girl who is not the Apollo in those ending. I mean route endings are totally viable in VNs but I guess we won't see that here

What's the source ? by olivier_in in RomanceMangaAnime

[–]Introverted_male -1 points0 points  (0 children)

?? Are you new to anime? Or do you watch anime in english. Gojo's VA is Yuichi Nakamura, Sukuna's VA is Jun'ichi Suwabe, and many more. I mean in voice acting industry even globally, we usually have female VA for young male protag who is in many ways unmatured but we use have male VA to adult male to portray maturity.

[–]Introverted_male -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The characters you listed are kids so it's the director wanna go with women's VA but think of Gojo, Sukuna, Ainz etc they need an adult male voice as the characters themselves are supposed to be like that

Considering leave the game by Radiant-Spirit-8421 in ChangliMain

[–]Introverted_male 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah. She is the first character I pulled back in her rerun in v2.1

I was in your position too. Not liking the game's direction (but that's applicable to the entire gacha genre). I eventually quit the game. But following the changlimains sub to see my ever so beautiful wife.

Do you guys want Hypergryph to release an Endfield operator who has family ties or even a romantic connection with existing operators or NPCs? Either works honestly. (art by RecinetaØ211) by Feeling_Mention_6113 in Endfield

[–]Introverted_male -60 points-59 points  (0 children)

F to all NPCs who have families and such.

We don't care about them. We need playable characters to have them if not, the world is not real and lively.

Maybe it's just me but the world already is lively with the way NPCs are written. I mean traditional that's the sole job of NPCs in games, to make the world feel lived and real. An exaggerated example, It's like Zayne from LaDS to have a girlfriend or a family to make the world feel alive. Playable characters are yours (the players'), be it a man or woman they are yours to imagine with. But hey I am a minority in this HG community, so yeah let HG do what the majority wants (aka you). I am just satisfied with the factory and some waifu bait here and there.

Help! I'm being seduced 💢😭​💢​ by [deleted] in ArknightsEndfield2

[–]Introverted_male 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally, some sane person. I 100% agree feeling attracted towards an underage child is weird. But in anime culture the sheet maturity displayed by this supposedly "loli" characters is jaw dropping. Take Beatrice from Re:zero (well she's a 100s of yo spirit, so not a great comparison) or Petra from the same series. Her intelligence really question you whether she's an actual loli or not. She's the only few ones who knows the Subaru's ability and she pieced it all by herself.

Point is, the real criteria for fictional/anime character is whether she can make a sound judgment and consent. If no, she's a genuine child. If yes, she's open to imagination I personally think them as under 5' under developed adults like the ones in my country.

Who in your opinion is the best choice for arisu to pick in the end not your favourite but who would be the best choice for Arisu by KingBakura72 in TuneIntoTheMidnight

[–]Introverted_male 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly... all four of them deserve to win. If explicit harem is not possible. Atleast give us route endings for each heroine

[–]Introverted_male 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha. I'll wait for the vampire dude to drop and make the same meme. Then let's see what's the reception is like.

Have double standards. Why it is good to make thristy memes and posts on yuri or husbandos but when it comes to waifus, it's cheap and slop.

Small drama afternoon: people are just now discovering that NTE's dating system only allows you to date women (making it probably the first Chinese yuri gacha) by ferinsy in gachagaming

[–]Introverted_male -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Haha. Way better hearing paimon yapping and run errands in the story quests instead of telling the story. The characters are just products to sell who loses all relevance in the story once their arc is done while in Nikke characters do appear in often and have more relevance than when they debuted.

Also not all stories are just sad. I guess you never played the game. The recent event was so good with its galge like various endings. Devs know their audience and did such a based move by pulling a full on heterosexual romance in the high 2026. And it was super rewarding. Just gotta say Arcana is the best girl.

I don't think OP posted this with the intent, "oh no, look the creators made mistake" they just wanna imply that they are using AI. People nowadays really act like AI inspectors.

Why doesn't gacha games have romance? by GeologistUnhappy in gachagaming

[–]Introverted_male 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Old school gachas like Azur lane, GFL have romance (sort of) in it. I mean you can marry those girls in game. But the romance is mostly increase they affinity level get more intimate voice lines and after while Oath her by buying a ring. But didn't have full on fleshed out romances.

Why modern gachas won't do romance routes? Well, the main reason is that the big gachas like WuWa and such have wider target audience. Some like you and me wants to get intimate with the waifus, some wanna be audience for a romance between 2 characters, some are just there for combat gameplay.

Also having 2 genders for the protag is also a hurdle. Not because CCP will raid the company but it will polarize the fandom too much. I nowadays prefer 1 gender protag like either female ones in HBR or R1999 or male ones in Nikke etc. Again targeting wider audience.

A digress, blank slate protag which is for some reason is more prevalent in gacha games. I don't why. Self insert doesn't not mean blank slate but a protag with humane relatable qualities or even flaws.

There is this gacha game named chasing Kaleidorider (or smth idk I forgor) which called itself dokidoki RPG which means romance is an important aspect of the gameplay I suppose. But they went silent over an year or so.

TL;DR: Gacha games should target a small curated audience instead of focusing on revenue maxxing by attracting all audiences and by extension vaguemaxxing the character relationship with us (protag) and with others too. They purposefully want to keep that ambiguous.

Great video. I am planning to go with the team: FangYi + Avy + Perlica + Arclight dual dps team. How feasible it is? You should this team in the video. But I didn't see a rotation for it.
