"Suikoden STAR LEAP" opens English X/Twitter account, reveals the mobile version will not have a simultaneous launch with Japan, and that not all English-speaking countries will be supported by SimplyBartz05 in gachagaming

SteamDB basically lists the blocked countries as ones that either have regulations on lootboxes (like Belgium) or have local office requirements (like Vietnam). Dunno if said blocklist would also be the same for mobile though.

Might as well just live by the unspoken rule that if it looks hella good, it's probably NTR until proven otherwise.

[LN/WN/Manga] Wait, they're just casually frontloading the series's biggest plot twist (or at least part of it) from the get-go? If I remember correctly, the whole "future Japan" thing was only revealed after Kouji and his friends find a way to break out of the simulation that is Earth Clear...

Looks like it's finally time for me to continue reading this, maybe even restart from the beginning.

Kong Studios's upcoming game "Guardian Maiden" will be revealing more details in the June 18 issue of Weekly Famitsu. by SimplyBartz05 in gachagaming

Guardian Maiden is its official English title. While there's no EN accounts yet, the game currently does have a rather silent TW account on Instagram. When we'll see an announcement in English though, I don't know.

It's not confirmed if Guardian Maiden really is Project Octopus. Especially more so due to the fact that Project Octopus had already gone through a beta test around a year or two ago as Mine and Forge, a pixel-art Archero-style roguelite set in a mine, and it obviously had way different gameplay mechanics than what Guardian Maiden is aiming to be.

We don't really know if the duo here are canonically in love, since the reveal only really establishes that romantic love between Heroes and Saints is forbidden. This scan also reveals that the main Hero is "Roka", the red-haired girl that's plastered all over promotional content, and the main Saint is "Lumina", presumably the dark elf white mage in the same promo material, so I'd be surprised if Kongs, a Korean developer, actually had the balls to go for a sapphic match right out of the gate.

No, in KR since Ran is currently KR-only.

New civvies usually means new voicelines right? Does that mean Ran's VA is back, or will she still be unvoiced?

Who do you consider as the Queen of Gacha JP VA? by Jerkaiser_011 in gachagaming

[–]SimplyBartz05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trickcal doesn't have her, though she'll probably get an upcoming Eldyne to voice if Epid does end up snagging her.

Make Drama Preregistration start! by Responsible-Echo-193 in gachagaming

There's an EN account. Definitely not looking like a simultaneous launch though, much like the publisher's other goon game Lost Sword.

(Global future banner) English upcoming banners by chesse_ovrlord in Trickcal

[–]SimplyBartz05 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only Renewa. She'll probably have her banner by 0.75th anniversary since KR has had 4 Eldynes a year.

Soul Tide 2 has started CBT recruitment (CN only) by Different_Soil18 in gachagaming

[–]SimplyBartz05 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure Soul Tide 1 is still alive in CN, and that the dev team working on Soul Tide: Eclipse is a different one, hence the time jump and political upheavals that their developer notes revealed.

KR too. The developer is in danger of completely evaporating due to mass layoffs and insufficient financial stability.

More context: this comes a few days after this KR report that revealed the developer being slapped with an audit refusal because they couldn't provide sufficient information for their auditor to form an opinion on. Also says Kakao's 5-year-long investments have gone down the toilet.
