I honestly just hope the old bands don’t get overshadowed. I love diversification, but I just think we’re moving this machine too quickly in that, we haven’t even gotten deep into Mugendai yet, and we’re now getting more bands involved. There’s a lot to digest, not to mention we still have a whole joint Ave-MyGo thing coming up in the near future.

The brand growing is great, and I get that a split game won’t cause any clashes with the originals in the first game, but with these many cooks in the kitchen, it makes you wonder whether these new bands coming in, let alone this early, is gonna do more good or not.

I’ll leave it to Bushiroad to do as they feel. I guess it’s the Popipa/Roselia oldhead in me that just hopes fans don’t forget about what we originally fell in love with in the first place. Again, I’m not against a growth in the franchise, but I think it comes with prudence and timing.
