This general is for discussing Japanese Mobile Games that don't have their own dedicated general elsewhere. Occasionally some Chinese and Korean games will be discussed too.>List of frequently discussed games and guides for them:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zMS5UYhWpWtxSla0dt3TutdezA1zWSL0pzI3i9vwjToRead this Pastebin about how to get around region locks for both Android and iOS:https://pastebin.com/kdChFL5nPrevious: >>46479901
>>46722824Guess this thread can't EoS then.
Why is it so difficult for japanese games to have pantsu? They just put black holes under their skirts. How come even Chinese games can have pantsu but Japanese ones can't?
>>46723031That character is canonically an athlete at least
>we just had a thread last a full monthIt's a miracle!

do people mostly use qooapp for JP versions of games? thinking about switching over blue archive and arknights to the JP servers
>>46723530I just a use a JP google account for the playstore.
>>46723620do you need to use a vpn for this?
>>46723530Yes, using a japanese google account is literally jumping through hoops when you can simply use qooapp
>>46723644Nope, it was just a setting that I turned on in the account settings somewhere, did it a long time ago so don't remember exactly.
>>46723669>>46723530I had to set up a JP playstore account so I can buy stuff
>>46723644They used to change things up every year or so a while back but I think they settled in on their ways when I made my JP account. Clear all data from Play and Play services, vpn to Japan, create a new account and set it to Japan. You might be able to set your current one to Japan but I don't recommend that. Also you don't need to vpn any more once you see that the account is set to Japan.
Gakuen Idolmaster is a sweat game
>>46724664I hope it is a flexibility game. There is too few games that pander to us flexibility/contortion fags.
>>46724778I'm honestly shocked that this game is still going.
I guess this is how /mbgg/ ends.
>>46731221There is (still) nothing to play. Also wtf happened that Wizardry Daphne game?
>>46731221New idolmaster will save /mbgg/
>>46731725New idolmaster will save /@/
>>46731221https://twitter.com/152Nami/status/1784045885829321008?t=4r3wVaWXJUGG9W1Vk4aJzA&s=19Don't worry, I'm here to save the thread. (This is me by the way)
>>46731597It got banished to the same place Shine Post did.
>>46731908I can relate to that kid. The Megaman collab introducing the shockwave card type was absolute aids
It's honestly retarded how much money Mihoyo is still making 4 years later from Genshin.
>>46731597what about it? it'll be out later this year or early next year
>>46734606it's a better game that anything that Japan produces so not really
>>46734606Just goes to show that the secret is all in the marketing
>>46733247>>46735311So... delayed and stuck in development hell for who knows how much longer?
>>46737665Neither would survive EoS in the current mobage industry anyway.If you aren't a big IP brand your mobage will just die.
>>46738527Even Shine Post with Konami money?
>>46737665no? it's never been claimed to be close to release, there was just a test a little while ago
>>46723031Most games are produced to appeal to the masses: millions of people are expected to purchase games. So you don't want to include pantsu and offend women.If you want a personalized game with lots of pantsu and reipu, hire someone to make a game like that for you :^)
>>46741032Interesting how that works out (it doesn't)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9j3bbNu5XE
>>46741032There are woman pervetes too. It's the new progressive generation that gets offended.
>>46741032But Gakuen Idolmaster main writer is the Oreimo guy, they banned yuri, and it has a male college producer that takes his idols to the schoolinfirmary to fuck... I don't think they're trying to appeal to women, so why the lack of pantsu? Will Qualiarts at least add gravure mode so I can take photos of idols' butts?
Started playing Brown Dust 2 and been liking it a lot but it makes me sad how unpopular the game isApparently it's by the same makers of Idoly pride too
>>46742947Idoly Pride is by QualiartsBrown Dust 2 is by a korean company called Gamfsn, which in itself is just a branch of Neowiz.
>>46742947Neowiz is only the publisher for GL/KR Idoly.I tried BD2 but it felt like it needed too much attention for an afk grind. The auto feature was also really useless and having to manual everything killed it for me.
>>46743119>and having to manual everything killed it for me.huh did you play it months ago? I started like last week for the cute loli and all the dailies are sweep except PVP where you auto and forget about it
>>46743142Yeah I played on launch. No idea what it's like now.
>>46742947Post the ballet girl from BD2
>>46743186From what I heard, they had a dogshit launch and only recently started trying to make the game better and more accessible to players (since they'll kinda die if they don't) so might be worth giving a second look if you had any interest at all in it. Anniversary is in June too so there should be a lot of free shit there.It just happens to be an extremely unpopular game in this side of the world which is sad since it's a fun game. The old JRPG vibes sort of reminded me of my time with Another Eden even though the gameplay is completely different from AE and it's been quite generous so far.>>46743218The ballet girl?
>>46743226Is she in 2?
>>46743338Not yet but I hope she is because she's hot as fuck.Here's a list of chars and basically the best resource for ithttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ePZc0xGtZwoJFbQ2EXJmHdaIlx2Uro_5-suCEohihhU/edit#gid=1204355171
Brown dust is actually Brave Nine right? Was that game ever posted here? Apparently it released in 2017 but I don't remember ever seeing it here around those years
>>46743361They changed the name in the West since Brown Dust sounds like dry shit
>>46743370Yeah I was asking about the game since I don't remember seeing either on ye old /mbgg/
Since you guys are so passionate about pantsu...What current ongoing series or franchise have pantsu anyway?Regardless of platforms.
>>46744024Dolphin Wave
>>46746265I have seen theirs and I was not impressed by the textures. Anything else?
>>46748574Snowbreak has the best pantsu... I dunno why japanese games can't have it...
>>46731221Cursed
>>46751248Where is D4DJ in this pic...
>>46751248Why are first arcs always bad?
>>46751633they're not. What happens is that the first arc will always filter out everyone that can't stand the writing, so the community has to start pretending that said arc is bad and everything after it is good.If everyone that would criticize the writing has already left, the remaining community will circlejerk the absolute shit out of the following arcs.
>>46751633Because first arc is when they tend to dump ton of terminologies, character introductions and expositions, and people who aren't familiar with the game settings yet will just find these to be too boring and draggy to read.Also this >>46751709
>>46751248Are those all the ones EOPs think are good?
>>46753674Cope
Northern War is still alive
>>46754378>
Will Ange make it to its first anniversary?
>>46754146It's the truth, anon. And also the reason for that meme. It's implying people who don't play much games and gacha saw one of in an ad, played it as one of their first game, and praise it to high hell. And those games are also the ones people strawman that gacha players haven't played much games before.
>>46754933Licherally who
>>46756244Ange Vierge, new sis.
>>46756264I played this and seriously forgot it was a thing.
A game being a gacha game will always be a negative. All gacha games would be better as normal rpgs that you could buy and finish.
>>46761132Mobile games are free to play because the mobile market prefers them to buy to play games. You'd also be asking for a completely different game as I doubt most gacha games would have much appeal in their current state if there was a barrier to entry.Gacha or free to play mechanics in general aren't inherently bad provided the developer isn't going out of their way to shaft you. They're free so anyone can play them and the continuous stream of money generally allows for a longer period of updates/more content than what a premium version would allow for. Can't ignore that EoS is always looming overhead for shitty cashgrabs or games that just don't become popular, however.
>>46761132Gachas focus on characters a lot more which is more appealing to some people.
>>46761132And yet the average gacha has a longer play time.They're successors to online games rather than console games.
Time to post about gacha
>>46742460>they banned yuriso you're saying gakumas will save the imas franchise?
>>46770664Gameplay stream will be in two days so we'll see.
Will it EoS soon?
>>46775236No
>>46775236Assault fucking Lily is still alive despite removing voice acting.
>>46775236Not really. Snowbreak managed to revive itself even after doing that and being close to EoS.
The Dragalia killer is back with another collabhttps://youtu.be/HfJDqa3H0TA?si=fQmkOpXt5PhljFYF
>>46778866>second rerunwouldn't even roll
Magia Exedra will save /mbgg/
Magia Record EoS soon
>>46722852>Occasionally some Chinese and Korean games will be discussed too.Anybody playing Touhou Flower Fight? I can't find out shit about this game. I noticed it in the app store one day and tried it out. Haven't put it down since.
>>46779255Of course. Got to collab with a series 3 times to grab all their characters. 5 times if you want the villains, too. 10 times if it's a longer series.
>Gakuen Idolmaster lacks the gravure featureI'm disappointed in Qualiarts.
>>46782655What's the difference with the 3rd feature?
>>46782655Isn't it Bandai Namco who would tell the devs what features would be in the game?
>>46782762Qualiarts could push back
>>46782864Nah they're probably just literally contractors. Namco owns the IP and probably provides almost the whole budget for this shit. Namco would get what they say they want.
>>46782655And that's a good thing
>>46782655This is why im@s is a decadal franchise and not FOTM that lasts 3 years tops.
>no yuri>no gravure mode>no pantsu (more or less a given in 2024)Is there any reason to play that game in 7 days?
>>46785130shitposting
>>46785130There is nothing else to play.
>>46785130Blue Reflection Sun is dead and there's nothing else coming out to replace it.
>Shine Post>Estab-Life>Birdie WingWhy won't the games I'm looking forward to come out?
>>46782078I guess not. I'll try to drop some info.Seems like you get the same 5 units with each account made. Pick the world dungeon and start clearing levels.10 energy per dungeon but you'll barely hit the daily limit and you get 100 back per day.Battles consist of randomly drawn cards against monsters. As you win fights or encounter events you get a choice of 3 random cards based on the 5 characters you brought.Leveling up a character is done through exp point "items" which are used universally. Awakening a unit requires a copy of said unit or 400 crystals. You can then upgrade a card of your choice for said unit.I see no way to farm the "premium currency" currently but this game is so new I'm not bothered by that and I'm having fun with basic units.You can also pick any character to search for as a 6th "allied" unit to help out in a dungeon. I tend to find a high level Suika for the defense and attack buff.Touhou Flower Fight. It's korean.
>>46786839Because the japanese gacha industry is dying and being taken over by the chinese so no one wants to release new games.Come join the last stand with us in Gakuen Idolmaster.
>>46742460>so why the lack of pantsu?CERO thinks its their duty to stop inquisitive Japanese pigs from being able to freely look up skirts. Note: This is an activity that includes literally everyone.So if they were targeting an age rating, guess what's first on the chopping block? May also be related to release requirements for the play stores.>>46782655>QualiartsThey're likely to add functionality later.Also be aware Alternative Girls didn't even let you get a low angle in the dressing room until it was randomly available as a rank reward.>>46782700"Gravure" would include posing at different locations, instead of just staring at them in the dressing room. Think Venus Vacation or the diorama modes in New Link or Dolphin Wave.Though there have been other idol games that have included gravure as a gameplay element.
Gakuen Imas openinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fI9rNo28CYLiterally me at the end.
>>46751709>If everyone that would criticize the writing has already left, the remaining community will circlejerk the absolute shit out of the following arcs.this is why honkai threads feel insufferable for me since its always a massive circlejerk inside but literally everyone outside hates it
>>46787379but wheres the gameplayall I'm seeing from your webm is a dating sim
>>46788504Gameplay...?
>>46788504Is it not an idlege? I need one right now.
If it is not yuri why is a pair of them literally prince and princess?
>>46788504It's Uma gameplay but with cards.
>>46787379It looks like a less lewd Idoly Pride. Hard pass.
>>46790585I sure hope for once they make use of the gyaru being flexible ex ballet dancer instead of forgetting it right after character introductions
>>46789164Because that's the relationship chart before you come in and produce them.
>>46789164It's yaoi between the prince and producer
>>46744024EvertaleNot that should you play it. But it definitely has ample 2D (not animated) pantsu and coom.
>>46787379to be fair the whole industry is over-saturated as fuck now with everyone trying to replicate genshit's success or play it safe as an average run of the mill auto battler rpg that im really hard pressed to try out anything new. at least with japan they try to differentiate with a whole lot of different genres.
Yeaah I am thinking it is too late to start playing the best mobage
>>46792686What is the best mobage
>>46792798Pokemon sleep
>>46792919>too late to sleep
>>46796416Explain what's going on here to someone who doesn't know shit about this game.
>>46796725What happens is that red guy has a HS (long charge skill that he can get only one of in game). It allows him to freeze time briefly but only do a bit of movement / have a few shots. Enemies have options such as use blocks against it or activate their own HS in brief window. He managed to land a rare triple with one shot during his HS.
>>46791056>>46790985>My wife is 親友 with the princessgoddamnit
Is Gakuen Idolmaster gonna have a PC client on DMM like Umas or Shinymas do?
>>46799468Guess not
>>46788504It's a dating sim without the dating
>>46803762Now explain this one.
>>46804440So each hero has a Hero Action they can spam, hold screen until a circle finish rotating then release. Sinon's (the sniper from SAO) Hero Action is a ranged aimed line that has range and push back with a small hitbox. She managed to land a few good shots in a row in this in a teamfight.
There is still literally nothing to play... until wuwa releases I guess
>>46804764I've been trying Solo Leveling but it's been pretty meh so far and I've never seen the anime nor read the manwha it's based off of. Also >Netmarble
>>46804764>>46804845What's the gameplay? Got some webm?
>>46805036Cba to record but it's basically an action rpg with 2 different types of battle modes that you'll have to play throughout the game. The first one is in pic related and it forces you to use Sung Jinwoo (The MC of the anime) the entire battle and the party members that you bring can only use support skills. The second mode is more like HI3 or Genshin where you just bring the party members without the MC and you can swap/tag between them. Game has a host of problems though but I feel like it'll get carried along for a little bit since the anime seems to have some popularity with normies I guess?
>>46804845Solo loading
>>46809468Yeah I'm getting close to uninstalling almost purely because of the constant loading while menuing and after finishing missions, it's really bad. And don't even get me started on the god awful monetization, I don't think I've seen a game this stingy before.
>>46811282I'd be levelling some strongly worded mental complaints against that Asuna if I was on the red team
>>46811394Maybe the Tanya should've nuked sooner instead of turn the corner and used cards.
>>46742460>>46787557>pantsuI blame apple looking at what happened with Taiminin Action.
Year of our lord 2024 and I can't even look up the skirt of the cute animated polygons on my computer screen, where did we go wrong?

>>46834683Looks like a 2014 game.
Japan's last stand against the chinese gacha menace is almost here...Works on emulators but looks like you have to pump up the emulator settings.
>>46837126What emulator do people use these days? I'm too used to most games with a budget having PC client these days or are on the Google Play beta emulator thing.
>>46837185It works on Bluestacks android 11 version and I think on Mumu.
>>46837126Should I choose the highest quality and 60 fps?
>>46837126Only works if I turn on Vulkan
>>46837501Probably? As long as it doesn't lag it's fine.
>>46838061I tested on Mumu with Vulkan and it's just a white screen so looks like the game only might work on Bluestacks Android 11 version.
>>46837126Why do idol games make so many spin-offs?

>>46836343Close, 2016

>>46842976nevermind, just had to allocate more memory, worked with 8gb
When is it up?
>>46843103Now
Do you have to download the APK from elsewhere? It doesn't even show up in the playstore for me on emulator.
>>46843232Use Qooapp or APK Pure
I can't connect bros.What is happening?????
>>46843308Servers blew up.As per usual gacha release day issues.
So now that Gakumas has EoS'd which idolge should I play instead?
>>46842976>>46843006I'm still getting a white screen when I launch it even with these settings, idk what to try now. Guess I'll just play mobile only for now and hope they launch a PC client on DMM later or something.
>>46843597Nevermind I'm so fucking back. Turning random shit on/off does wonders I guess.
Is this an idlege like Idly Pride
>>46843862Did you get past the loading in the title screen? What are your settings?
>>46844187NTa but I can't get past loading tooIt's joever
>>46844187I spoke too soon, I've been in loading purgatory too. Think I'll just have to pray for PC client soon.
They don't want the emulators bros...
>>46844279The game actually looks nice so it'd be great to play it on PC with high res and graphics turned up. If I turn up the settings all the way on my phone + 60 fps it feels like it's going to burn the place down.
>>46844264How long did it take you to load? Because the song started repeating for me and I doubt it takes that long
>>46844279this is why so many games fail
>>46844310I thought the same about idoly pride. It still doesn't have a PC version and emulators are still buggy for anything not rerolling.
>Need to play Gakuen on my phone because emulators don't workimagine not having a PC version in 2024...
>>46844501Well the other Idolmaster games seem to have PC clients on DMM so there's at least a precedent set there I guess.
https://twitter.com/festibattle/status/1791030840543051857It's over for Kusopl
>>46845421The ultimate team-up. This will save Japan's gacha industry for sure!
>>46722852It's the 8th Anniversary of 8 Beat Story and on this day, they announce EoS.https://x.com/8beatstory/status/1791066156994109767At a time when everyone is paranoid and shitting themselves about AI, these Idols who were meant to be our salvation could not stop the AI from taking our jobs.
>>46846489> 8 Beat Story ends on 8th anniversaryFuck, 4th anniversary soon for D4DJ
It's so over. All the old Idolge are dying and AI slop is gonna win. They are gonna take our jobs.
>>46846489All this time, they were sending a message. With that in mind, the AI future of idols and music is all but set.
>>46846616I didn't ask for the AI slop future.
>Gakuen Idolmaster has the producer in the story being writen as some amorphous, genderless blob>So there's no idol romance whatsoever because of thatJust fire the story writers and let the Oreimo guy write everything instead, the stuff he wrote is just far more interesting. I don't wanna play as some sexless blob...
>Rerolling for support cardsI actually hate the Gakuen Idolmaster gameplay so much it's unreal
>>46850718>genderless>Rinami literally falls you otoutoWhat are you talking about. The self insert producer is a dude.
>>46850877I only did Saki route but in that one you might as well be a blob, the producer doesn't even speak in first person. Apparently the game has two writers for the story so maybe it's a writer difference.
>>46851086Producer uses ore and is called otouto in one route so he's at least a canon dude. It's not like he'll suddenly change sex in other routes because of the different writer.
is there one final collage of BRS upskirts to pour one out for the EoS?
>>46851132Yeah he uses ore in the comus written by the Oreimo guy, it's so different compared to the game's main story.
Idolmaster belongs to haremchad (man)
I cant make Laid Back Camp One for All run in Bluestack, any help?
>>46852764If you already fiddled with the settings then it probably just doesn't work in Bluestacks. You can try other emulators.
https://twitter.com/towatsugai/status/1791302872845463991But some Anon told me it was not gonna EOS because of the stage plays?
>>46853732Lmao, I'm really curious as to what SE's kill count on gacha kusoges is at this point.
>>46853732Even Project Tokyo Dolls had stage plays anon. SE is just being SE in this case. Also, I miss PTD and SE is a fag for not making a dress up and photo offline version of it.
>>46853732Yuri sisters? We lost another one...I blame Minotaurs and the 2 or 3 "draw a boy call it a girl characters"...
>>46853732It's probably related to Square Enix's overall revenue dropping like shit in the previous quarter. They're cost cutting and having massive layoffs and this may be one for the shit they decided to drop.
>>46853906What else they even have left nowadays aside from a few FF mobages? They probably drop out of the mobage market altogether sooner or later.
>>46853977Octopath? Honestly idk what else
