How do you mismanage a series this hard?

Punch Ilfriede in the face. Kick Ilfriede in the belly. Pull Ilfriede's hair. Call Ilfriede names.
Do the same to Lise.

How did Kouki do it? Has he reached a point so low that we should start praising him for it instead? Quite a feat. If DEEN adapted this way back this coulda been the series to dethrone gundam

>still not linking the MEGA
What's your fucking problem?

>>21737383
it would never have dethroned gundam because it turns out Kouki is a fucking hack. You know things are bad when Maeda fucking Jun is doing better than you are.

>>21737383
Kouki's legendary mismanagement skills.

That and having the bright idea of creating a shared universe and instead of advancing the overall story, doing TE as some half-assed prequel, telling future readers that nothing matters beyond the trilogy. And if everything is going to come back to the trilogy, why bother reading anything else?

>>21738409

actually the latest cope from Kouki is that routes never existed and that TE was shit on purpose and people just think there's a Yui route because people misunderstood his genius mind the countless times he talked about a Yui route because he was very obviously talking about a story where Yui is the protag set after the TE anime, and only the anime

>>21742540
I don't know if you've ever experienced this, but I have a pretty large family so every time there's a gathering I have to deal with these 55 year old uncle types who are impossible to talk with because not only will they bring up anecdotes or news stories out of nowhere to give their opinion on it even though nobody asked, they also insists that they are right about absolutely everything and will never back down, ever. If somebody is too stupid to just give them the win they will argue about it for several hours. Not even politics, just retarded shit like how wine is made in Italy or some trash. Kouki is like that, except he shits up the community of the one good thing he made instead of family gatherings. Also why he is surrounded by nothing but yes-men. Even if somebody disagrees with him they won't dare to say it because then the podcast goes from 6 hours to 7 hours

>>21742660
What you say makes a lot of sense to me. It's like that story he keeps telling people about how he had an anime nobody wanted to make because he was only known for Kiminozo and Muvluv which have edgy twists. Why didn't he try making something less edgy if he didn't want that stigma? Because the producers were right and he had an edgy twist planned, obviously, but he doesn't want to admit that so he turns it into a "woe is me" story and hell to you if you start asking questions about it.

Has Kouki ever spoken on this besides April fools jokes?

>>21742906
if anything the biggest indicator to me that he's a hack is that they're 4 gacha game attempts in and he still refuses to write them. Instead he's writing scripts for visual novels he damn well knows might never actually release. He knows about all the other VN writers that transitioned just fine too.

>>21742913
the only mention of this was the aprils fools tweet where Kouki said it has been cancelled for years. I don't think he was trolling and the data was just unfortunate, there's been complete radio silence forever.

>>21742917
It doesn't look like there's any point in writing for one anymore with how badly it's gone. Maybe if he did it for Strike Frontier it would have been different, but by now it's obvious that Muvluv has no future as a gacha. What's even compelling avex to keep funding dimensions instead of axing it now and cutting their losses? One of the producers is a huge Muvluv fan and chases the dream that existed only in the mid 00s?

>>21742932
Immortals was such a colossal failure that just leaving it as is goes beyond just damaging the muv luv brand and calls Avex entertainment department as a whole into question. Whenever they try starting a new gacha project there is a non-zero chance the partner they're talking with would bring up Immortals, Dimensions exists to give them the ability to say "but we fixed the game and it ran just fine for 6-12 months before shutting down." They clearly have no actual faith in the project, it's just corporate politics. For fucks sake they're not even giving them enough budget to hire the original voice actors

How is this even still alive
did they try fundraising for an entire VN yet? I feel like this could have some success

>>21742958
I love the fact that all the artists who worked on immortals don't even try to promo dimension despite it still using the same art.

>>21743009
They already had to delay the kiminozo kickstarter because they're that incompetent. I honestly suspect Avex might just cancel the thing depending on how Dimensions does, assuming Dimensions doesn't get delayed too.

It was the only time they actually ticked all the checkboxes an IP based character game is supposed to have. Immortals and dimensions are objectively worse in that aspect, even ignoring the VA recast it seems like the only side content the game will have is events. Absolutely insane in 2023, it's like they don't even like the characters and writing is a chore for them. The whole point of games like this is to be officially approved fanfiction.

they don't have any budget left. Literally zero. Their entire marketing strategy is literally spamming gift cards on twitter. I'd like to say that they focused all their budget on development, but I'm starting to think we're in for another Immortals level disaster. Have you noticed how they haven't shown a single screenshot from the story, or even just the main menu? It's supposed to launch next month.

If you go the official website, the "world setting" part of the website still doesn't exist and just says "coming soon." If you scroll down even further to the gameplay section, every video linked is for Immortals. They didn't even change the title or reupload them, it's the same 15+ month old videos. This is despite the fact they already showed footage of a slightly reworked battle system in a stream months ago.

It just wasn't a good game, budget was low, story was weird, and the gameplay was trash. However, at least somebody cared enough to make a checklist of what they should have in the game.

All they had to do was fucking finish TDA and cut out the gacha shit, and they have not followed through. You'd think they'd fucking learn after the first gacha project flopped, but whatever. The less dogshit official stuff gets made the less the original trilogy gets watered down Lucasfilm style.

So does Immortal/Dimensions even have any new BETA types like strike frontier?

>>21758446
they said there would be one time but you can bet your fat ass they're not in at launch because Immortals didn't have any and they're out of budget. SF added them later too after they noticed how terrible enemy variety is.

Thinking about it, I'm surprised nobody recommends watching Rumbling Hearts and Akane Maniax first before Muv Luv. I recently watched the two and it made me appreciate Alternative's second half a lot more.
It's a lot easier to stomach Muv Luv's wacky stuff when you're used to it from Akane Maniax and watching Rumbling Hearts first with its relationship drama and it helps set the tone for the whole series.

>>21758619
going through extra is enough of a chore for most already, if you open up by telling people to read kiminozo first... lol

>>21758645
not read. watch. and it's a bit more straight forward and "interesting" then extra. i was thinking akane maniax is gonna filter them hard though

>>21758647
eh. imo its better to just go back to it and read it when you're done with muvluv if you want more. its not really essential and you can still appreciate it that way

I know it doesn't really matter but I agree with this. Even though rumbling hearts only takes a couple hours to get through. It would tonally fit before starting unlimited but you would need to play sooo many hours before the characters appear again for it to have the impact the other anon desired. It's great for people that know and love the franchise but a bit to much for people when they get into.

You're still correct though because most of the art was made for Immortals and all the SM characters had shit like 666 insignias on their outfits for no reason. It's not even that a 666 squad also existed in Immortals, shit they didn't even share a squad at all.

it's just gonna be a big mess of shit

I guess we're not getting new VN any time soon, should i read TDA or it's story is not finished enough to enjoy it?

>>21769436
I just want it to release so it can entertain me for 2 days. It refuses to fucking release though.

Hope someone posts all the TSF art before the game dies for real this time.

>>21769766
I haven't seen one new piece of TSF artwork so you can just open immortals in unity editor

>>21769436
It will be able to cover avex's asses when they go shopping around for the next real gacha they attempt and that's it. A simple failed gacha is nowhere near the disaster Immortals was.

>>21770009
I was more referring to the story

Is the red circle supposed to be her birthday?

>>21770687
Yep

>>21770510
>story
lmao
you ever check the offical website? It says the story DRAFT is from Anchor with supervision by Tashiro Hayato. Aka the actual story is being written by some guy at nextninja who couldn't give less of a fuck

>>21772003
I guess Nextninja put the Muv-Luv mobile port into the game because Dimension story is basically non-existent

>>21772130
Even if it isn't, imagine FGO but you can play all of F/SN in there. Full production values, fully voice acted. Then you switch back to main FGO and all the production value is gone and there's no voice acting. Bizarre.

>>21772003
The guy who writes "the actual story" literally retconned convenience stores via putting chemicals in the water to turn the frogs gay.

For that matter, Kouki also limited himself to planning for Schwarzesmarken, and it's the best game in the series save for Alt.

>>21772777
Schwarzesmarken was written by an actual author. Dimensions is being written by random people working at a mobile game company who don't even want to be put into the credits.

I've been out of the loop since the whole NFT thing, what's gone down so far? Failed mobile games, the Alternative anime was bad, and no progress on the next visual novels? Or am I wrong on that last point?
Sorry for not lurking a bit more, I literally have been asleep for the past couple of months.

>>21773084
>who don't even want to be put into the credits
Would you?

>>21773619
>Failed mobile games
Immortals was pulled from stores after 3 days (it was only playable for one) and they had to refund everyone
>the Alternative anime was bad
Subjective (not really) but the story remains unfinished and there's no S3 announcement
>and no progress on the next visual novels?
Almost a year ago Tororo said during an official lifestream that the VN projects are getting cucked by rebooting Immortals and that he's sorry about it but that's just the way it's gonna be. Kouki then later started shilling a monthly (not really) muv luv magazine, giving a whole big fucking talk about how it will finally give the core muv luv audience some new content after years of getting cucked, saying they will even put development updates for the visual novels in there. Unironicially went "muv luv is healing", hence the name "regenerative". Not only have there been no development updates in any of the issues released so far, the new issue has also been delayed to ??? because they're changing up the production.

TL;DR you have missed absolutely nothing other than the announcement that all the TE, SM and Eurofront characters have now also been recast.

>>21773676
Holy shit. And here I thought things were bad before.
And the kiminozo stuff is still somehow ongoing, and there'll be a kickstarter soon? Just going off that tweet I saw in the OP. Sad to see TDA paused yet again, and I never even got the chance to ask how the Total Eclipse remaster was when it came out. Guess that's worth playing while waiting for things to stop going to shit, right?

>>21773734
Kiminozo kickstarter is a japan only release that is an ongodly mix of Latest Edition and the ancient all ages console releases. English release plans will be considered only if it succeeds. Kickstarter has already been delayed once and Kouki is making an absolute ass out of himself by arguing with people that want the release to support R18 because now that Avex owns everything they are no longer allowed to say there will be a patch so he keeps talking about Skyrim mods. At one point he got so mad at gaijins doomposting by bringing up how they should have just bought Evan's translation when they had the chance that he literally went and dug up 3 year old documents describing why they broke up with Evan and then summarized them on his podcast, pretty much saying that the documents state that he is a lying unprofessional asshole and that everyone hated him. Evan never responded to this and just continues doing official translations for books and indie games.

TE remaster is missing teito moyu and has some meme translations but seems fine otherwise.

>>21773829
How is it that the kiminozo question has me shook worse than the muvluv one? The management really seems desperate, to be letting things out into the open like that.
I can't even imagine how the threads reacted, laughter? Confusion?
I'll give the remaster a try then, thanks anon.

>>21773829

he what? he expects me to support him after that?

>>21773910
He doesn't expect anything of you.

>>21773910
He only cares about his little bubble of japanese hardcore fans, probably doesn't even think he did anything wrong. Best part is that his podcast has the chat on-screen at all times so you can see chat messages from nips suggesting shit like suing Evan.
His mindset isn't even really wrong, if you care enough to find the leddit thread about it half the comments are on Kouki's side, I imagine the discord channels are 95% or some shit. I would like to point out I don't even like Evan or his translations, I'm just mad everyone at muv luv HQ is doing nothing but retarded shit for years in a row without break. I think Kojima and the MGS translators clashed at times? Imagine if Kojima went on twitter years later to talk shit about one specific person, but not even because the translation was bad, just because the guy (allegedly) was a pain to work with.

Lise kissu!

>>21773829
And don't forget the version of TE on steam is lower res than the one at release. For what ever god awful reason.

>>21774023
interestingly the comment from invalidname (the bald guy who kept running ML fan panels) says he spoke to both sides and thinks both Evan and Altpro/aNCHOR were being retarded

>>21773084
Schwarzesmarken was written by an idiot who couldn't tell the difference between East Germany and Nazi Germany.

I don't even doubt Evan was being a dickhead, but Anchor casting off all blame and airing that shit out in public smells so bad. Because like Invalid points out, Evan is still around and now works for people like seven seas entertainment. Not to mentiion that some of the shit Kouki says during his rant is just absolutely not true unless Evan's pastebin announcing that he's done came out 6 months after his offer was rejected. Kouki said that "Evan suddenly offered us a script even though a Kiminozo project wasn't even in the works at all, but we considered buying it anyway."

The ML twitter tweeted this in October 2020.
Evan announced that he won't be working with Anchor anymore in march 2021.

>>21775510
that's the thing, anchor isn't airing it in public, yoshida just came out and complained himself on his stream because of evan boot cultists doomposting the project and anchor probably yelled at him for it.

>>21775624
If you give Yoshida access to internal documents you are absolutely airing it out in public.

>>21775624
Kouki being a massive idiot and drama fag isn't anything new. Just see him posting his itashi-cars one year then filing for bankruptcy the next back in the early 2010s and you'll know.

>>21772777
>Schwarzesmarken
>best
Is this said because it's still untranslated? I remember that the story was very criticized 1-2 years ago in here.

>>21776531
Total Eclipse got a lot of shit after the eng release came out and we could see how rushed and terrible the ending is.

>>21776531
there's just some people who really like the DDR shIt. All the slavs for example. They had a russian translation for SM before the main fucking trilogy. If you ask me the worst thing about SM as a game is how they spam terribly compressed gifs from the anime every 3 minutes, which was a thing in TE too but that show had literally twice the amount of episodes so it wasn't the same 6 gifs every time.

>>21776562
That was in Martyrs though. Bloodstained Crest came out before the Anime, or was made before it, and instead has weird CGs of Grapplers side-on that makes them looked squished.

>>21776570
pretty sure Monshou already had that shit because I pre-ordered + imported the game and remember being pissed. But that was 8 years ago now so what do I know

Alright, if they do that then I'm onboard.

>>21779016
launching with a swimsuit event is literally the number one indicator of a pump and dump in the gacha world. Historically launch/anniversary and summer events have the highest sales, so when you combine the two what you're actually doing is peaking your month 1 sales at the cost of sales stability for the rest of the year.

Easy to test, just try a different model?

>swimsuit event
>with that artstyle
lol
I dont have high hopes

>>21779180
dimensions/immortals is so low budget I fully suspect they won't even try to have a consistent artstyle and that the swimsuit units are drawn by some random vtuber designer from twitter or something.

>>21779200
Hard to tell if that's better or worse than just using AI at this point

>>21779100
They also won't be giving bonus gatcha currency at launch. So they really want to milk that.

I only hope I'll manage to download all character sprites and TSF images before this game die.

TDA ends at a cliffholder but it's the kind of cliffholder where you can say "damn that story was good" and not even desire to see more. It felt completed but not completed. I absolutely think it's worth reading and while some people recommend watching Last Divers between the chapters I think it's better to watch it afterwards but others are free to correct me on this.

>>21780963
it doesn't really matter if you watch it or not because that ellen plotline goes nowhere

>>21781493
It might have gone somewhere in a later entry. Amanda Birkin was not introduced for nothing.

my biggest mug rub regret is that after making so many implications of coed shower scenes we never actually got to see one

>>21781769
That's what Starship Troopers is for.

>>21781771
the series stole so much from starship troopers except for the most important thing

>>21781771
It was about time for a rewatch anyways.

>>21780963
Last Divers after TDA 02 felt great. Seeing the cataclysm like that and feeling the helplesness and despair war crazy. The plotline didn't go anywhere in 03 but I'm sure it would've become relevant later on.

No Ilfriede Zone.

>>21781800
I can't believe Muv Luv ripped this off so blatantly and got away with it.

https://youtu.be/RnxokDO59n4

>>21781838
when playing it I had so many starship troopers vibes and yeah a similar song to this came up quite often hahaha. Loved every second of it.

>>21781520
is this "later entry" in the room with us right now?

>>21768167
its funny because the first time I saw that scene my brain froze. Not in the terror way but rather.. "what". I genuinely thought at first that takeru was having a vision or that it was all a dream or smth like it.
Imo the punch came way too hard out of (sorta) nowhere to the point of feeling surreal.

>>21783871
oh absolutely agree. That was a brutal reality check and the following ptsd arc kept me going so long that I was fucked up at work the day after from exhaustion and trauma hahaha. What a wild ride it was though.

>>21784548
NTA but I actually intended to sleep around that point, but I kept reading for 12 more hours until I cleared the entire arc and called in sick at work

I got spoilered about chomp when it first came out but completely forgot about all the details by the time it was translated so when I actually got to it I was still shocked because I wasn't expecting it to happen then
