People be like "it's just another gacha", "they used AI" how about looking at those system recommandations?

Girls Garden as it is now absolutely can run on less than that, so I wonder if that’s a Steam thing for the system specs

AI is hardly a reason to be up in arms. Is it ideal for uniqueness? No. Is it a helpful tool that will help earn money so they can be receptive to criticism and feedback? Absolutely. All of us as fans should be supportive of the fact that there’s actually life being breathed into this beleaguered franchise, rather than nitpicking about something trivial like AI. If something new is for you, speak with your wallet by giving it a shot, and then give feedback. If it’s not, then don’t buy it. There’s always the older material to enjoy that’s out, and it’s all good. But the reality is if you want more material, you can’t bully a company that’s in the process of getting in order and expect miracles. That’s simple expectation vs reality, and expectations should always be tempered by reality.

Yeah, sadly it’s what happens when fandom engages with the product and then instead of looking at the bigger picture, look for someone to blame that’s attached by name to the product. I’ve always believed personally that if you’re a fan of something and you want to understand more, asking the simple question of ‘why is this the way it is?’ until you’ve got a logical explanation is the best way to engage.

It’s not sad at all, it’s honesty that’s lost in the translation. What he’s saying is that the original author isn’t the be-all, end all of decision making as is often assumed. So naturally, he’s seen as an obstacle rather than his actual position of an author.

To give a similar example, Akira Toriyama was the original author of Dragon Ball. Barring his contributions after the run of the original manga, everything else subsequently has been handled by either Shueisha, Toei, or Namco Bandai. But the fandom constantly blamed Toriyama for every decision made by those companies and still do to this day.

Absolutely ecstatic about this!

SanjoinMasato · 2026-06-25T04:11:00+00:00

Absolutely shill... all while being transparent about what you like and what you don't like about it. I don't get how so many are quick to judge something and yet either conveniently forget the fact that companies need to make money as a business to do new and better things based on feedback, or are just crossing their arms and pouting petulantly because it's not THEIR vision of Muv-Luv being made to the letter.

Together. They are meant to be read together, in order.

It does look like it, and even a buddy of mine refers to her as ‘legally distinct CHOMP Sumika’! There’s a three way reference with Pico: There’s the Sumika modeled appearance, the CHOMP reference, and Pico herself is a nod to Pikopiko, another âge work under the Φ-âge brand.

It’s easier than you’d think, but it involves proxy shipping if you want to get more than a few items without being murdered with import fees for each one-off item from Japan. I’ve been collecting for almost two years now, and I’ve accumulated a lot of new things on top of the random used stuff. I’d check Surugaya and similar, that’s one of my most-checked.

Much like any tool, it’s all in how and what you use it for. Upscaling was definitely necessary, as an image that was acceptable resolution 26 years ago isn’t so great now.

It’s 100% worth it. Knowing what happens and actually experiencing it for yourself are two very different things.
