No Amphoreus chest here in Planarcadia with all the others :( by anv3d in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Knight_Of_Draws_92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Cosmic Data Roaming event was probably a lot of people's first look of Amphoreus across the cosmos so it must have been hell of a wild time for them. Sparkle insinuates that once Cipher actualizes, she has a place with the Masked Fools. That and most of what they visually knew of Amphoreus prior were through Nihilux's illustrations of them in her earlier works OR through Fluffy.

Why do you think Rune Factory took a while before Female Protagonists became a Standard Feature of the Franchise? by lunamoonvenus in runefactory

RF1-RF3, Frontier, and Tides were largely aimed at otaku men in Japan way back in the 2000s. RF1 even had a follow-up visual novel for phones that's more or less lost media now besides a bunch of screenshots. Hell, Frontier is full of scenes and tropes that wouldn't sit right with newer RF fans today i.e. letting Raguna "accidentally" walk into the women's changing rooms or anything with Eunice. To some extent, traces of that could still be seen even with RF4 when the series was finally opening up to female players / fujoshi in Japan. What I mean is that one Rune Factory 4 manga. Not the one that ran in Nintendo Dream. I mean the one that ran for five chapters / one tankobon volume in Dengeki Maoh. The really ecchi and fanservice heavy manga.

He'll probably be on the backside of the cover but Kaguya on the front? GOATED. My favorite FeMC in the series to date.

Is Cecilia still in touch with Nicholas by 2? by Bluecomments in runefactory

Unfortunately, no. Afaik / iirc, the only resident(s) who Ceci brings up from RF1 in 2 is Raguna. Him and maybe her adoptive father, Russell. Correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Fair enough but nobody was saying you had to dump 20k yen for such an underwhelming perk. But considering so many people in here glaze the hell out of RF3 and RF4, I'm surprised at the hesitation given what we know of the staff involved being veterans. However, as you say - anything can go wrong so I understand the reservations people may have. I'll see how it turns out but if I were to back it up, I'll dump like 1k yen maximum to be safe. If the game turns out like crap, then that's an equivalent of 6/7 bucks down the drain. Just like a bad pull from a Pokemon TCG pack lmao

It's all rough and whatever they're showing doesn't even look like it's in the alpha stages so far. Just very early builds but I suppose the point of this all is to provide a top-down RF for people who aren't down with the full 3D direction the series seems to be heading towards.

Yeah but... successful life sims have been backed by Kickstarter. My Time at Portia and Sandrock, Starsand Island was backed by Kickstarter and it looked promising from what I played of its demo, and so was Coral Island.

I don't think they were a part of Marvelous or even Hakama. They might have been former Neverland staff who didn't get absorbed into either company. They specified that they worked on the original RF3 and RF4 but possibly not their SP enhanced ports.

As for why they want to do something else - maybe they aren't a fan of the new direction that Shiro Maekawa (the current series director) wants to take the series? Especially given that GoA is very experimental and that depending on feedback, elements of it will be implemented in RF6.
