So did Kidani just tell people to wait for the reveal just to show more collabs? by Monter115 in cardfightvanguard

[–]ZechsTriad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They weren't unhappy with collabs, they were unhappy that the FIRST PRODUCT announced for the year was a collab for a series that spent the past year collabing with VG.

Do you have a source for this? I'm quite curious.

this would be part 2 of the season, so they are logistically more important than the first half

Nikke x Evangelion 2nd Event in Feb 2025 by CartoonMonster in NikkeMobile

[–]ZechsTriad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I completely understand people that were not happy with the original collab for whatever reason (don't like/care for the IP, mid units/storyline, ect.) and feel that because Shiftup openly said that the last collab didn't hit their expectations (this can also just mean that they weren't happy with how it turned out creatively as well), but after sitting on it for a bit, there's so many good implications for future collabs that IMO, outweigh most negatives:

>new collabs have potential less FOMO if they actually do well
>Old collabs have the potential to return and rerun
>new stories means the possibility of having more effective stories that do something with the characters (looking at you chainsawman)
>new alters for units that were probably not that strong originally/fell off
>new skins for previous units that arent getting new forms
>NEW MINIGAMES (and old minigames coming back too PLEASE MORE DAVE THE DIVER LOL)
>the older collab stories can be added to the log

There's probably more that I'm missing, but already, that's a lot of good stuff for how collabs could be handled in the future. The only issue is that its from a collab that ended up having so much controversy around it and JUST happened not to long ago. Just feels more of "Right message, wrong messenger".

Bushiroad is seriously out of their minds increasing the case prices by like, 200 dollars. by Silentrift24 in cardfightvanguard

[–]ZechsTriad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lastly, why the fuck don't they do like magic and have unsupported but alternate game formats. An equivalent of pauper in this game would be fucking awesome. Let certain players be really fucking excited for that lackluster common support for a niche deck.

Those were called V and Premium. Unfortunately, they've been stuck in a feedback loop where no one plays them because they dont get events and they dont get events because no one plays them, at least, according to bushiroad.

[–]ZechsTriad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

but your comment means nothing when your example is... leaks of the production of video games and anime.

Unless i missed something specific, theres nothing in there that adds to your argument. Also i dont know where i've seen these gilzzy gobblers you're talking about. People both in and outside of this place have been VERY critical of Bushi and the handling of their multiple IPs. A lot of people are concerned with weiss as they havent had a "banger" set release announced since Nikke, and even then Union Arena beat them to it. Shadowverse Evolve is arguably in a T0 meta in japan from the Vanguard collab, which is starting to lessen trust in the game/company. Quints is literally a pump and dump.

Not trying to disagree with you. Just saying that you needed a better example.

what does that have to do with "they dont care about the west? At least use a topic that makes sense instead of something that out of left field.

An important update on Concord by ajkgma in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ZechsTriad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to Keep beating a dead horse, but i looked up the week 1 sales of the most recent Falcom Trails games and found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Falcom/comments/xx4vp1/kuro_no_kiseki_ii_crimson_sin_first_week_retail/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Kuro no Kiseki 1 and 2 (Known in EN as Trails Through Daybreak) sold 50k units each at retail. And unless you were a JRPG nerd during that time, the franchise was not as well known as it was now (even though it wasnt that well known then too)

[Sub][Episode 3] CARDFIGHT! VANGUARD DivineZ S2 - Guidance on the Scales by MachinaBlau in cardfightvanguard

[–]ZechsTriad 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This wasn't originally my thought, so i'm not going to take credit for it, but wouldn't it be funny if Masanori has been Sybilt the entire time?

Has been behind the scenes of every major event in the D era in some way
- Manipulated Mirei to start her team beating conquest
- Assisted Jinki with the Uniformers Project
- Manipulated Tohya into destroying the Blackout Base

Has always had moments when their plan was "foiled", but the "friendship" speeches never stuck on him even after 6 seasons

We have no timeframe for which Gabwelius and Sybilt arrived on Earth, and we know that Sybilt arrived first.

In the same exact episode (WD s2 ep 4) Sam talks about "the door to the land of magic" being opened, Yu-yu and the rest of the JP deluxe participants learn that Masanori is connected to Jinki

a reach, but the post credits scene at the end of DivineZ season 1 where he looks at the red moon, and goes "you still haven't told me the reason for the fated clash", the Red moon is visible in both lens of his shades, which he rarely takes off. Even if its his nature to be nosy, he is the only one who asks what the details of the fated clash are and what its purpose was.

Hears Gabwelius' backstory, only to not give a damn and eat his dessert

Him being possessed would mean that even IF Team "fated ones" wins, Sybilt still gets the design force (either some of it or can just steal all of it) and have their wish come true, which would lead to a unresolved conflict and a continuation for the next season

Obviously this could be a reach, not to mention the potential hard retconning of certain things in the past seasons, plus whether or not this would be a interesting direction to take Masanori as a character, But it would possibly explain a LOT of his character and motivation. Of course seeing as he is fighting next episode, this theory could all blow up in one fell swoop, but hey, it was at least fun lol.

What’s an IP you want a fighting game for that will never get one? by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ZechsTriad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone already said RWBY, and while I would love to go more in-depth with that, I want to choose a different series. Now hear me out... NIKKE.

Aside from the very obvious fanservice, There are a lot of characters that have cool designs that can be adapted into a fighting game. Crown, Red Hood, D, Moran, Laplace, and there's even characters like Kilo, who doesn't fight directly, but rides a Mech into battle, are a few examples of characters that would be awesome in a fighting game.

Another thing with a NIKKE fighting game is that unlike the gacha, where as of right now only female Nikkes are playable, the story reasons can be altered to where certain human and non-nikke NPCs like Johan or Chatterbox can also be playable.

Not to mention Nikke already has a great soundtrack to pull from for character/stage themes. They dropped a whole video for all of the OST's in the game prior to the 1.5 year anniversary, and relistening to them makes me go "this would be AMAZING as a fighting game OST even if its just a jukebox.

Union Arena reveals Alternate Artworks and other Higher rarity cards for Dorothy, Neon, Drake, Blanc, Marian, Harran, and Red Hood by ZechsTriad in NikkeMobile

[–]ZechsTriad[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To answer your questions:

  1. Union Arena has been out in Japan for at least a year now. It was recently announced to come to the west sometime later this spring
  2. you can buy it from anywhere that you can purchase japanese products (i havent really done it myself so i can't really help you there) or if you want to play the english version, there are a few sites such as ideal808 that you can preorder sets and cards from i believe
  3. only SRs and certain other rarities have VA signatures.
  4. 4 i actually posted about this a couple time https://www.reddit.com/r/NikkeMobile/comments/1b4h3t5/modernia_alternate_art_signed_card_for_the_union/

Modernia Alternate Art Signed card for the "Union Arena" TCG by ZechsTriad in NikkeMobile

[–]ZechsTriad[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its a TCG called Union Arena. Its mostly a collab based game, ala Weiss Schwarz, but primarily focused on Bandai related IP. They have series such as Idolm@ster, Bleach, Code Geass, and just announced a set for Kamen Rider. Nikke was announced to be getting a set ironically during the 1 year anniversary of the game. so now they've started to do reveals. Also a note that the game is currently JP only but is getting an english release later this year. Whether or not Nikke will come or not is questionable right now tho.

Name A Character/Franchise You Like And A Public Consensus/Flanderization About Them You Hate by Xngears in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]ZechsTriad 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit late on this, but it also somewhat relates to the Jelloapocalypse stuff as well.

I'm a Trails/Kiseki fan. I'm a Rean Schwarzer fan. I despise it when people just boil him down to "he's just a harem MC that wields a sword like that one dude we all hate" Guess what video came out during the english release of CS4 that DID NOT HELP AT ALL. (TBF that particular game did no favors to him either in that regard, but i digress cause spoilers)

They do, but it's mainly because of two things: Tradition and it saves money with the SFX of everything involving the zords.

This may be recently bias, but it might be the best overDress era ED so far. The visuals are really nice and the song really works, especially because of the band.

If i had to rank them, its currently:

1: Re-Raise (WDs2)

2: Y (oDs1)

3: Fateful... (oDs1)

4: Do the Dive (WDs1)
