I hate this so much, it's crushing to see the mixed toilet fags winning. Can't believe there isn't a single good 3d game for people who want to experience love.
It's bad enough I was born in this hideous body that no woman will ever want to touch or look at but I can't even create my own fantasy family. I don't even care that much about the spats, just wanted to be able to build a home, plant some seeds in the ground and in my wife and pop out a baby or two and leave the wife to go adventuring with my pals every now and then.
I can't be the only one who would enjoy something like that right?

Oh, I see how they circumvented the lgbt issue.
Each time a scene is somewhat intimate, they immediately switch to 1st person. So even though fmc is there, the same sex action is not present. Smart.

yea >>1987663

>>1988078
It's actually very smart. It removes yuri and at the same time it removes cucks too.
This game explicitly filters every type of problematic auditory.
It has huge tits and extremely for you mommies to filter trannies, it has child characters to filter people fixated on pedophilia, it has no playable males to filter femcels, it has many cool dudes to filter ml schizos, all for you scenes are 1st person, so no weird shipfaggotry and cuckolds. This game has literally no flaws. The perfect game made for perfect community. I would love to spend a decade in this game if possible.

>>1988084
mlpags don't understand that, it's useless to say it

>>1988084

>>1988092

>a crumb

>>1988098
>They want stable and loyal customers
They want fanatics, is what you mean. Like apple. Instead of delivering a quality product for people to enjoy, you want for them to make a cult of mindless drones that will stand by the game no matter what, "comfy" as you say. No one complains, no one criticizes, everyone only consumes and spends.

>>1988118
you are describing an extremist hyper niche games, not a game like AP

>>1988118
Apple is a company for lgbt people. It has fanatics specifically because it targets deviant people and makes them feel seen and catered to.
What Manjuu does is completely opposite of that. They say, we don't want weird people, we want normal dudes. They are the company that makes Phantomfly carry characters in unique custom animation, because somebody in the feedback said they want that.

>>1988121
>we want normal dudes
there are already like 15 games that do that. there are the mihoyo games for starters, arknights, uma musume, limbus, etc.
other companies have tried to release games for "normal dudes" and less than 3 months in had to hard pivot to full fanservice because no "normal dude" is going to spend money on a gacha, or stop playing the gacha they've been playing for years to go to a new one that doesn't offer anything new or better.

Did it improve from early trailers?

>>1988125
There is none. Low tier cash grab slop are not what Promilia tries to do.
Besides, listing IP infested with trannies and femcels is definitely not game for normal dudes. Normal dudes implies healthy non-defiant heterosexual males, not mistery meat xim/xeys.

>>1988148
Normal dudes have girlfriends and play Call of Duty, they don't jerk off to underage anime girls in Chinese games

answer the question, why can't a fantasy world have only females? even the monster musume manga has some races (like lamias)

>>1988404
Because males are good filter for undesirable audience.

>>1988397
Trickcal is a 2D auto battler slop, if you can't understand the difference between what a game like Trickcal and a 3D open world game needs then you shouldn't even be having this conversation in the first place.

>>1988405

trickal can only get away with it because it's ridiculous over the top comedy that has no serious plot, or stakes of any kind

>>1988426
>This setting should have this element because other story had it
That's not a reason, that's just your personal bias, excuse me because you don't read shit, you are just flailing your arms in a tantrum fit because something you didn't personally like applied to a story.

A world that has women only cannot be an interesting world as women are incapable to conduct an interesting plot.

My point is your argument is fucking worthless, you're acting like it only "works" if it's ridiculous over the top comedy that has no serious plot or stakes of any kind, when one of the literal pillars of the western fantasy is a harem series with an actual plot and high stakes. I’m not even going to name it since you clearly don’t know the first thing about western fiction anyway.

Wrong, it works on the premises of a ridiculous setting merits ridiculous outcomes at the expense of any attempt at seriousness, this kind of dichotomy should be obvious to you but it isn't that's why you made such a retarded argument, it's why different genres exist in the first place

Is Genshit the only fantasy you’ve ever touched? Jesus fucking christ. A harem can be whatever the author wants it to be, comedy, dead serious, or even both at the same time. It literally just comes down to whether the writer is a hack or not. If they actually know what they’re doing they can make a serious harem work in any setting.
And the series I’m talking about literally has an adaptation, even your normalfag friends who don’t ever read a book have probably watched it. Stop acting like a retard and pretending a fantasy world with a female heavy cast cannot be taken seriously.

>>1988454

There is quite a difference between males exist, but we just don't focus on them and males do not exist.

What a weak-ass counter argument. Honestly just laughing at how little you actually know about fantasy genre in general.
>>1988457
A world with only women can easily work and be taken seriously. You can find plenty of dark gritty stories on where the woman still act uwu but the setting is actually bleak in many Cn (faloo), Jp (kakuyomu) or Kr (novelpia) series. My honest advice is to just read more and expand your horizons.

>>1988468
>It just comes down to if the author is a hack or not
Ok so Azur Promilia in its current state could also be one of the greatest pieces of fiction as well.

A big world with only women only works if the game/story is literal hentai. And I like that, but Shit Promilia is an all ages gacha.

It feels better to have a world with both genders. Although we could do without the extremely detailed furries and muscle men. Those are clearly reused assets from their mixed toilet development era.

>>1988468
>A world with only women can easily work and be taken seriously.
The problem is that you either have to focus on this female-only world aspect, explaining why that is the case or people will start wondering where all the males are. And if your male MC shows up in a female-only world, the inhabitants should wonder why there suddenly is a male. You certianly can do that, but I doubt AP is going to do that. Males existing but the story not focusing on them is just way easier.

Maybe try actually being a good writer for once? A good writer focuses on making interesting characters first and worries about their gender later. It shouldn't even matter to the plot unless you're specifically writing about gender-related conflict or just cramming in romance+fanservice for money.
If the characters are well written and the story is solid, an all female works just fine. Look at Tolkien, his world was literally 90% men and almost every major character was male, common sense says a population like that would die out instantly, but did anyone care? No. Obviously nobody expects Tolkien-level writing here but AP is marketed as a comfy palworld clone, it’s basically iyashikei so an all female world just fits perfectly.
The problem with AP is that despite selling itself as iyashikei, many of the important story characters are male npcs instead of playable girls (they could've just replaced them with female characters to make more money). If the writer was actually any good, it was feasible to genderbent those males with minimal changes and the story would be exactly the same, but they didn't. Anons in the other thread are right, the game feels directionless because they're trying to capture the normie covid audience while also baiting the AL fanservice audience, I see this same strategy shit in wuwa and eosfield. manjuu is trying to appeal to everyone at once, we'll see how that turns out when AP actually releases.

It’s honestly worse than people realize, 95% of the time the characters in the story are males.

>>1988594
Again, there is a difference between females do not exist and females do exist, but we focus on the male characters. Besides the Dwarves part, what you show there is the later, not the former.

I always thought the notion “you NEED male npcs for a good story” to be absolutely retarded. Some of the best VNs I’ve ever read had no male character involvement whatsoever and I didn’t notice the absence of males until I was finished since I was so engaged in the plot and character dynamics.

AP is a Genshin x Palworld crossover. Of course they wanted to make male playable characters.
But they also knew that the chinese crybabies would throw a tantrum if they did that (and it happened anyway) so they backpedaled into waifu only, but are still trying to chase the casual crowd.

The original argument was about a WORLD with no men, not a STORY with no men. In an open-world game, you obviously can walk around and talk to various NPCs, so if there was no men at all IN THE WORLD, you would have to explain it somehow (did the men die or go somewhere? How do the women reproduce? etc.)
Yes, there are many VNs with not male characters, but they still exist in a world where men exist. Most VNs just take place in modern Japan, it's just that the story focus on female characters, and in a limited medium like a VN, often the only characters you see are those in the story, unlike an open world game that has tons of NPCs.

>>1988857
>so if there was no men at all IN THE WORLD, you would have to explain it somehow
Yeah obviously. Why is that a problem? You can simply say they are born from the lifestream or mother earth or spirits or reborn from dead souls or whatever the fuck. In trickcal they are born out of the world tree dream (who has only meet one female so all of her daughters are female too).
Why is your mind so against this? Its super easy to justify.
For example, in some gundam series, they have to justify both the name and who they are so much stronger than regular mechs. So a guy screams "they are made of gundanium!" and thats it, your mind fills the rest. No need to spend 10 hours of boring exposition (like endfield). In portal, during the first 3 minutes of the game you are shown to be wearing some device in your legs. Your mind fills the rest (like how you are able to take 50 meter falls with no problems).
The focus of the story should be on the characters, not the lore or mechanics of the world. Even Tolkien did this, he wrote all of the lore and backstory, let the story play out, and deleted the lore and backstory from the published books.

>>1988859
This already happened, AL has collaborated with other games. Its how the "enterprise hates lemons" came to be.
In blue archive, the characters say that they'll rather stay in the collab game with the other MC, and yostar got a lot of shit for it, to the point the game is dead as fuck in korea.
Its one of the reasons manjuu didn't want to work with yostar, but here we are.

I think you're both mistaking me for the anon you were arguing with, but this was my first post on the subject. I don't care either way and I'm not arguing against or in favor of having no male NPCs, I was just bothered by the VN argument conflating "a story with no male characters" and "a world with no men." Those aren't equivalent.

Of course they aren't, but consider that a VN has very limited scope, you don't even need to draw male NPC, you can have the implication that they are in the background.
With a semi open world game, the player can walk around and speak to any NPC, so its important to not have them at all.
It doesn't mater either way, manjuu has been very clear about what audience they want. For comparison, in AL there are males but they aren't in your HQ (only the chickens), and the only males with a design are from flashbacks.

>AL has collaborated with other games
Technically, ship into the other game, was just one game
When APwas announced, some people brought this thing back, and most Chinese players agreed on the following:
1: “We said we wouldn't talk about this collaboration anymore,”
2: “That was during Year One; times were different back then. If Manjuu do that today, we’d burn them,”
3: It was a collaboration with a Japan-only game that died shortly after, so most Chinese players didn’t even know this collaboration existed, and don’t even know that the lemon thing comes from there
In reality, Manjuu has been very cautious about collaborations related to Azur Lane ever since,
The gacha that have collab with AL were just skins, exemple: Dolphin Waves collaboration only gives skins; the characters you see in these images are Dolphin Waves characters cosplaying as AL characters, not the AL characters themselves. (which is why their eye colors and voice are wrong)
And they only did that with AL, for their other collaborations, Dolphin Waves got the collab characters + skins, but with AL they were only allowed to use skins.
With the exception of that one time during the game's first year of release (which was decided by Yostar), Manjuu has never authorized the use of Azur Lane characters in any game other AL.

Elf bitch's tits looks pathetic to the new sheep/cow girls. And to all AL characters in general.
