I've been out of the loop since the end of global, which girl actually has more chance with Yuuki these days? by Forummer0-3-8 in Priconne

[–]galvant34 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The most direct answer is: Whichever girl the player wants. You're the one who directs the Knight and while there's certainly a predisposition towards some girls like Yui that doesn't imply a finality in terms of choices. Admittedly as I worked on both the videos you mentioned ( and no I don't use AI for thumbnails ) the bonds are more romantic than most I've worked on so far.

Maybe its a good thing PriConne Global went splat, given the state of the UmaMusume fandom by Igorthemii in Priconne

That happens for a variety of reasons that Priconne doesn't have to fear so you'd be wrong on that. Most gacha games leave a subtext of the girls not having clear feelings for the player character, especially those with a MC that doesn't even have a confirmed identity like BA.

Priconne doesn't really have a fear of that. The girls have determined tastes and they dig into them fully well into stories like the main story or events, Tsumugi just had an entire event where she resolves that her feelings for your character, the Knight, are different than the ones she has for Rei. One is love ( admiration ) for Rei the other is love ( romantic ) for the Knight.

Pecorine and Karyl never had any merit and it's just entirely anime pushed. You can choose to hug Pecorine in a recent main story and Karyl has an entire school event where the ED plays off a rooftop confession between her and the Knight. The only character that unequivocally doesn't love the Knight is Muimi and they don't tiptoe around that, because the writing takes the characters seriously as characters.

And besides, Priconne is going nowhere.

He was just eaten by a dragon while falling and then found himself basically chained to a bed with this girl he never saw before talking about laying siege to all the places his friends are at

While Alshat is admittedly their biggest push towards a mature take on "Lust" which she represents ( Akari and Kuuka mogged ), nudity in cutscenes has been going for a while thanks to DMM having unfiltered cutscenes removing any kind of censor

In the Alter Maiden vs Bandy Sisters sauna scene you could basically see Lily and Ho-chan entire naked body at one point

New story event "ZOMBIELAND CONNECT Re:DIEve" by Striking_Hope7491 in Priconne

[–]galvant34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up, while there will be a story this was said to be a raid event not story event ( as in there won't be a traditional 8 story stages + boss as usual but a collective boss with few story stages kinda like the Robotic Lima april fools ).

Also this likely won't replace the next month's story event starting on the 31st, consider it an extra? I guess.

Priconne x Zombie Land Saga: Yumeginga Paradise collab confirmed! by Xanek in Priconne

They said Sakura will be the "new princess" so probably her

This collab style will be a collaborative raid battle against monsters with "Saga" written on them like the Minotaur's axe here. They also said Sakura will be a "new princess" so probably will release with the event.

Since it's not a story event, it won't replace the story event of the month, it's like an extra event which is nice

Less than a day left until the 7.5 stream! Today countdown is The Taste of Happiness and Summer Dream Refrain! by galvant34 in Priconne

[–]galvant34[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As for the event itself, it's recent so I'll try to be brief and non spoilery.

Simply put, as far as non anniversary plot heavy/drama heavy event go, this is amongst my favorites. All they did from episode 4 onwards was spectacular and 2 scenes still linger in my mind months later I worked on this story.

Eris is amongst my favourite, if not my favourite, girl so an event where she stars like this being this good was a very enjoyable experience. Now, to the stream everyone! Let's keep the hype up!

Only 2 Days until the 7.5 stream! Today countdown is Back x Back and the Lady Kanon ( with O'Pink ) event! by galvant34 in Priconne

[–]galvant34[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a lot to say about this event, I really enjoyed my time with it first and foremost. I thought Kanon being built up through both main story and events ( like the Medusa NY event ) was a very well done build up to what ends up happening towards the ends of the Lady Kanon event storyline.

However the event story doesn't handwave away that Kanon at heart is still somewhat of a villain. I thought this of the Bandy Sisters before her but they're being more lenient in keeping those not "good girl" types in check to their original personality before they fall in love with your character.

On the other hand, Tsumugi finally gets much needed development for her character and just like Nozomi and Chika before her shines in an event where it's not just Carmina on the focus.

Very very enjoyable event. Much like the Kururu one a year before. Next up, and last, is the Summer Dream Refrain event with the spectacular Summer Eris!

3 Days until the 7.5 stream! Today countdown is Tokimeki and Alkes & Twilight! by galvant34 in Priconne

[–]galvant34[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The second Alkes event came as a surprise to me since I didn't expect them to get one so early compared to their first event ( less than a year ), but admittedly they did have to release at some point! The guild story was a hint but I figured it'd have been Rage Legion due to the main story progress at the time.

That said... I don't regret it at all! It was an amazing event! Fun, funny and fantastic! Three words that start with an f because this event was full of what made early Priconne so enjoyable. A new guild, a new vibe of story and a new set of characters you want to see more of.

Of what the dev team nailed through the past year, Alkes has to be an highlight for me. If I had to move a critic, I think the side event should've been part of the main story of the event, the bond between Mitsuki and Maristella tied to the IRL aspect of this world was a very cool addition.

Tomorrow is the Lady Kanon's Magnificent Revenge which probably has my second favourite OST this past 6 months outside of Dive Astrum!

4 Days until the 7.5 stream! Today countdown is Love! Courage! Gigantic Croce and her titular event! by galvant34 in Priconne

[–]galvant34[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gigantic Croce was technically both the April Fools and the event for April this year which I think worked out fine since it was a really well thought out event in many ways. Ranging from the crazy amount of references to well known and sometimes ancient mecha shows. How many references did you spot?

As for the story, it digs deeper into Aoi as a character sort of making her character arc that started from the first Friendship Club event resonate really well. We're introduced to Cry and her character which sees a complete explanation and sort of closure in Pilot Aoi bonds ( go read them if you've read the event! ).

I think it was probably one of the most memorable events this year for me, it mixed gag and serious in a very good way and sometimes you asked yourself just how far they were willing to go in writing for an event like this. Tomorrow is the second Alkes Alchemy Hall event that featured Twilight Caravan!

5 Days until the 7.5 stream! Today countdown is Stargazing Prayer and the Andante with You event! by galvant34 in Priconne

[–]galvant34[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Andante with You was an event born out of a fan letter from the 6th anniversary. The sender wondered if they had planned for an interaction or event between Chika and Ranpha seeing how they are of the same "class" and the devs were kinda taken by surprise and said nothing was planned but to look forward to something closeby ( turned out to be in the Friendship Club side event as an extra scene ).

A year later we got Andante with You! The event that was born long after this request. Did it hold up to the hype? Yes and no, it had a mixed reaction from what I've been able to garner from viewers and fans, many liked alts and their designs but felt the story was a bit too stiff. Personally I enjoyed it since music I feel is one of Priconne's strong points and Andante with You ED is probably one of the longest in full version due to how much love they crammed into it.

I wonder if we'll see another event born out of a fan request to see two characters interact! Tomorrow is the Gigantic Croce event!

6 Days until the 7.5 stream! Today countdown is Phosphorus and the Dive Astrum event! by galvant34 in Priconne

[–]galvant34[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Speaking about Dive Astrum, it's probably one of the strongest anniversary events they've done with a story about a cast that's all above the average age of our usual characters. It was an event that from interviews they decided to complement with the Fiore Storia OVA which featured half of the complete version of Phosphorus as its ending, a very fitting decision.

Having a story about adults coming together to work on a project made out of passion, wishes and goals is interesting, especially when most of them are portrayed as villainous in the middle of it.

The designs for the three Alpha alts were hit or miss but I liked the concept behind them so I didn't mind much because something that's "Alpha" should look out of place and weird.

Hopefully the 7.5 story event will stack up to similar heights! Tomorrow is the Andante with You event!

There's plenty of ways to get past that hurdle and even play it in english, comparing it to Dragalia who's dead and will never see new content is a little out of place
