[vestal briar]

Alr bruh

[tight goblet]

u want to get bonked?

[stiff forum]

snow

melt

[devout bough]

These pictures were taken when i came inside Avrora

[grand lodge]

[tight goblet]

shut up bitch

[stiff forum]

NO

[tight goblet]

yes

[drowsy swan]

Spoilers she's Italian

[devout bough]

what will Turquoise think???

[vestal briar]

I agree with vi here, you've called me water bird too many times

[devout bough]

now that you're calling another laner "bitch"

[vestal briar]

Melt

[devout bough]

@tight goblet

[devout bough]

i love this design so much

[drowsy swan]

Sad that the artist had to delete it because people were harassing them over it

[tight goblet]

shut up water bird

[tight goblet]

she doesnt carelol

[stiff forum]

damn

[grand lodge]

Melted snow

[devout bough]

yeah because they keep going with less and less clothing instead of actual designs

[tight goblet]

no

[grand lodge]

[drowsy swan]

No reason to harass the artist over it

[devout bough]

these were the Alsaces we could have had

but big laner decided to give her no clothes instead

[vestal briar]

All you are is 2 hydrogens and an Oxygen

[drowsy swan]

From what I've seen of the CN fan base their way of expressing their criticism is not the best

[devout bough]

where did i say to harass the artist, harass the orange bird

[crimson kayak]

crazy how people want to publicly air their complaints over an illustration because they do not like it..

[devout bough]

big laner

the big juu

[tight goblet]

everyone is made of that

im the important base

[drowsy swan]

I mean people do it when it comes to Developers instead of the people that actually make the decisions

[dark spade]

hey do u mind sharing the artist twitter or link for this?
i want to check them out

[drowsy swan]

It just seems like when it comes to trying to Air complaints people will go for the ones that seem public the easier targets

[devout bough]

here is the artist https://x.com/Ccc47143337

肥肥肥海 (@Ccc47143337) on X

WeiboID肥肥肥海

X

sadly he also got harassed over his Alsace design drafts

so he took that post down

[drowsy swan]

It's easier to harass a coder and programmer and artist compared to an executive or investor

Because that actually takes time effort and actually looking up who they are

Instead of just a person on Twitter posting stuff

[dark spade]

oh
i will check out their other work and concept art
man ppl are so pathetic ngl
but thanks for sharing

[drowsy swan]

Yeah it's why I think we barely see any alternative concept art anymore I think even dish went over how he decided not to show up it anymore and it seems to be kind of a company wide thing

Or at least a suggestion to not to do it because of this

[vestal briar]

😡

[devout bough]

i'm still blaming the big juu for picking the absolute worst designs as long as it shows the most skin

[drowsy swan]

The issue is is that they're not going to stop doing it unless CN really hates it

also we got moskva and she's probably the most conservatively dressed UR we've had in years

[devout bough]

we know 2 artists that posted alternate design drafts and both got hella harrassed so

[devout bough]

yes

Moskva is cute

[drowsy swan]

But so few art I've seen of her

[devout bough]

Because laner is kinda dead

there are barely any new art period

[drowsy swan]

No it's not

Dead would be the game is gone

[devout bough]

let alone for a new girl who did not have time to gather fan base like the older girls during peak era

[drowsy swan]

And they're not going to change that anytime soon

[devout bough]

Even Alsace only have 500~ fan art

[drowsy swan]

I mean that's a lot

[devout bough]

and she's one of the most popular girl for 2 years already

[devout bough]

you should have seen laner at its peak

[drowsy swan]

I mean that's the combination of years worth of art though

[devout bough]

no

[drowsy swan]

It's like okay I'm going to compare somebody who's been around for 2 years compared to eight

[devout bough]

no

i mean

how fast fanarts were coming out of the girls

during peak era

i'm not comparing 2 years to 8 years

i'm comparing 2 years from 2024 to 2026 vs 2 years from 2018 to 2020

[drowsy swan]

You got any screenshots of that era?

[devout bough]

why would i

[drowsy swan]

Also it makes sense the game is old

[devout bough]

it's 8 years ago

i don't even use the same phone and pc anymore

[drowsy swan]

There are barely few gachas that have major relevancy after like maybe 5 years

fgo is like the absolute exception of being super popular while being old as dirt by gacha

[devout bough]

||genshin in its 6th year in 2026 was way healthier than AL in its 6th year in 2024||

||not a fan of genshin, just saying||

[drowsy swan]

6 years was 2023

[devout bough]

Only JP and CN

[drowsy swan]

You mean the servers that matter

[devout bough]

I'm on EN even though i'm in Japan because i missed launch and decided to start over when global opened LOL

[drowsy swan]

I also put genshin as the exception though

The average lifespan of a gacha is like 3 to 4 years

Like we're comparing to like the absolute top of the food chain

The games that have outlived and are on the Corpses of thousands of others that have died

[devout bough]

Azur Lane merch used to get its own full shelf in every goods store

now they get a section of 1 level of a shelf

at best

[drowsy swan]

I have never seen Al merch in IRL ever

[devout bough]

many just don't have laner stuff anymore

[devout bough]

i'm talking about in Japan

[drowsy swan]

Well that's the way the cookie crumbles newer games came out

There are thousands and thousands of stuff out there

[devout bough]

that's the point

[drowsy swan]

The fact that the game is still around is a testament in and of itself

That's better than most that just die

[devout bough]

i said that the state of the game is a very obvious decline

[drowsy swan]

And there's nothing they can do to stop it

Not without taking the risk of a complete redesign of the game

[devout bough]

so yes, to me azur lane is pretty dead compared to its heyday

[drowsy swan]

Or making a sequel

I made at least we're getting another anime season

That could bring in some new people hey watch these cute girls do cute things

[devout bough]

Not to mention manjuu pouring resources into their new big 3d gacha game no.13413235

https://tenor.com/view/cat-broken-cat-cat-drinking-cat-licking-cat-air-gif-20661740

[drowsy swan]

I mean they have to they've gotten a bunch of people and resources

As a company you need to do that even the private company that own girls front line made a sequel in 3D

And that company is privately owned and didn't need to go with the whims of a shareholder cuz like the person that owns 70% of it

[devout bough]

Azur Lane was a titan back in the day so it's just strange to me why they never leaned into it

[drowsy swan]

It did

And it didn't work out

[devout bough]

nah

[drowsy swan]

It had two animes a video game

We have done multiple collabs with Museum ships

Their sponsored by a motorcycle company

Essex is the ambassador of that

[devout bough]

crosswave is not even a manjuu game they just liscensed it out somewhere

first anime was shit, the slice of life one(s) was a success

[drowsy swan]

But what I'm trying to say is that most other games usually don't even get what Al got

They got an anime they got a license game they got multiple mangas

We have slow ahead we have Anthology and Anthology breaking we have Queens order and we had

[devout bough]

i miss this enthusiasm

[drowsy swan]

Vacation

[devout bough]

it's hard to keep up when you see such a sharp decline

[drowsy swan]

We've had three light novels

[devout bough]

[drowsy swan]

Like I said all of that combined is more than most franchises get

[devout bough]

ok and? game's still dying

resources still being diverted out

[drowsy swan]

They've done collabs with the Iowa, with the New Jersey, with hornet

No I'm just going over you thinking that the franchise never leaned into its potential it did

[rose spire]

Add me to the game and Azur lane won’t die

[drowsy swan]

The only thing that fans would probably have asked for is them to collab with Sabaton

[rose spire]

Trust me

[devout bough]

It never did? All the stuff you listed are very traditional Gacha game content

i don't know which world you live in where any of those are unique

[drowsy swan]

What would have been you unique?

What could they have done?

[devout bough]

There are onsen collabs, train carriage collabs, even JASDF air base collabs everywhere

[drowsy swan]

Didn't they do the vast majority of most of that also a bunch of Chinese stuff as well

[devout bough]

no, i'm just not agreeing that you are positioning these things as huge when it's really not

[drowsy swan]

It didn't lean into its potential I don't know what it could have done is all I'm hearing out of you

[vestal briar]

This is what I'm saying

[devout bough]

how long has it been since there was new gameplay innovation?

[drowsy swan]

This game has done more than many games would wish it had

[devout bough]

relevant gameplay innovations

Opsi was abandonned

and what did we get in its place?

fucking Island planner?

[silent lagoon]

OpSi just exists for the rainbow gears

[devout bough]

leaning into potential is not about collab, it's about sustaining the game and its playerbase

[silent lagoon]

I forget that we have that feauture

[drowsy swan]

https://www.reddit.com/r/AzureLane/comments/166zijr/the_new_game_mode_demonstration_rambling/

[cedar hawk]

Not gonna lie the more this one look at her car the more I remember the logo of Canva...

[silent lagoon]

[devout bough]

how long do you think us war thunder players have asked for new gamemode from gaijin entertainment?

[drowsy swan]

And this game has done it better than most

[drowsy swan]

Here was a game mode and everybody crapped on it

[devout bough]

gameplay has been identical since launch

[devout bough]

wow

make something bad

everyone shits on it

[drowsy swan]

And so they scrapped it

[silent lagoon]

Was it the mode with a cardbuilding mechanic...?

[devout bough]

no shit sherlock

[drowsy swan]

Yep the one that everybody said they needed to scrap it

[silent lagoon]

I forgot that existed, lmao

[drowsy swan]

Yeah and that was like two three years ago

But yeah that was their new gameplay mode that they were going to do

[silent lagoon]

[drowsy swan]

I'm going to be honest here probably the only way that even the game would be safe is a complete redesign instead of a new mode

Because everything would have to be based on the base gameplay

[silent lagoon]

Glad they scrapped it

[drowsy swan]

But yeah I always bring it up when it comes to why we haven't had anything new

[devout bough]

even war thunder is doing more lol

[drowsy swan]

And I don't care about that game

[devout bough]

we've had assymetrical air defense game mode and no missiles guns only dogfight modes once in a while

[vestal briar]

I haven't used canva in ages

[devout bough]

Azur Lane has had nothing

[silent lagoon]

Booba

[devout bough]

[silent lagoon]

Thats it

[devout bough]

that's why i keep playing

[silent lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/tradfi-real-users-meet-crypto-gif-24004753

My man of culture

[drowsy swan]

And in my opinion how would you do anything different from the base gameplay that will be better or more fun than what we're currently doing based off the current game?

It would all just basically be a different flavor of opsi basically

[devout bough]

this is the most stupid argument i've heard in a while

[light fable]

Azur lane is closing in on a decade. Safe to say it's doing something right

[silent lagoon]

But yeah, same... just in it for the booba and skins they always keep pumping out

[devout bough]

imagine your mother only making 1 exact same meal over and over again

[pastel oracle]

People always say there has been no relevant gameplay changes but never suggest any

[devout bough]

so the next time she comes in with a pile of dogshit

the whole family hated it

"and that's why we're still only eating the same exact meal"

[light fable]

It's hard to update gameplay for a bullet hell game

[devout bough]

[drowsy swan]

Even zun when the games do a different gameplay style are usually different companies not him

All of the fighting games are done by a completely different company he only does the bullet hell stuff

[devout bough]

not our job to develop the game, that's the developer's job

[pastel oracle]

So you have no ideas got it

[drowsy swan]

If you don't have an idea if nobody has any ideas why do we think the developers have the same?

[light fable]

"Develop the game"

So we basically been playing a beta test for the last 8 years

[devout bough]

no, because i don't think about it, but if you gave me 8 years to brainstorm i'd probably come up with something

[drowsy swan]

But will it come out good?

[pastel oracle]

Ok I want you to come up with some thing 8 years from this comment

[drowsy swan]

Why do we get high guards and Concords and a bunch of terrible games all the time

Because guess what development isn't 100% smooth

And failures and mistakes happen

[pastel oracle]

I mean I would think you’d be thinking about it if you’ve been making these complaints but what do I know

[light fable]

"probably"

[devout bough]

look, this whole argument started because i said game's dying and @drowsy swan said it's not it's doing great everything's fine while sitting in a burning house

[drowsy swan]

Because we can complain all we want but we're not the people whose lives are on the line

[devout bough]

what even is this?

[pastel oracle]

It started because you saw Franklin’s concept art and turned it into the same tired old “game’s dying” argument for some reason

[devout bough]

that's a separate thing

i already ended that thing?

[drowsy swan]

We're not the Developers

We're not the people that are in charge of a company with a bunch of people who need jobs

[devout bough]

yeah, and?

[light fable]

I hear "games dying" and think about how league players have been saying that about their game for the last decade

XD

[pastel oracle]

True

[drowsy swan]

How many more thumbnails that Cod is dying when it's making billions

[silent lagoon]

Can we just all be gents here and talk about ship booba?

[drowsy swan]

thighs

[silent lagoon]

Thighs as well

[devout bough]

i still have no idea how this is relevant to the conversation?

[devout bough]

because i'm not the developers i can't complain?

i'm not the chef so i can't complain the food is bad?

[devout bough]

I love this game. I don't want to see it die

[drowsy swan]

You can

[vagrant coyote]

hello, you are not the developer of the internet

you cannot type

[drowsy swan]

Death comes for all things even gaming nothing will live forever that's just a fact

[devout bough]

i don't know why you're steering it in this direction trying to make it sound like i'm mad about the game when i'm just stating fact and i'm just getting mad about you

[devout bough]

because of exactly these pseudo philosphy ass statements

everything dies

wow

so deep?

[drowsy swan]

It's not deep it's the truth

[devout bough]

yeah

people get old

[drowsy swan]

You're playing a game that can get shut down at any point

[devout bough]

stones corrodes

[vagrant coyote]

one thing never dies

[devout bough]

omg mindblowing statements

[stark fox]

[vagrant coyote]

it's the cringe shit you guys say on this channel

[drowsy swan]

And I don't care

[silent lagoon]

help, save me

[oblique dove]

Oh hi

[devout bough]

how does it contributes to the conversation at all?

[silent lagoon]

[drowsy swan]

Nothing cuz it's the internet

[devout bough]

might be the 2nd guy i block on this server

[stark fox]

Let’s be honest here, lads.
We are basically just playing any Card game.
We come back every month and drop money on pretty cards than go back to what we were doing

[drowsy swan]

Go ahead

[devout bough]

quite an achievement if i'm being honest

[drowsy swan]

Bye-bye Pig

See you never

Slay The Spire...?

[devout bough]

the laner cycle

[silent lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/arriba-gif-12324188786972117417

[drowsy swan]

lets begin

[stark fox]

Honestly, AL is doing fine

[silent lagoon]

Oh yeah, its also been a bit since I spoke... alot in here...

[vestal briar]

World ending weapons

[devout bough]

is it? i'm seeing it disappear from many places i once see it. Was in Osaka last week and it was a struggle to find Azur Lane merch

[devout bough]

In Osaka btw

[drowsy swan]

I mean in China it's doing fine

[light fable]

A gacha does not make it to 7 years and not be doing something right.

Manjuu has plenty of income by diversifying the Azur lane IP. Not just the game, but merch as well. And collabs

[devout bough]

Yep.

[drowsy swan]

They collab with a major Motorcycle Company

[devout bough]

I'd say the only thing Azur Lane is still going strong in are figures

[stark fox]

IDK what that means
But could be for a number of reasons.

[silent lagoon]

If AL dies, then I die with it as well

[drowsy swan]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_Motor_Company this one

[silent lagoon]

[devout bough]

Azur Lane Figures are still all over the place. Extremely prominent volumes

[vagrant coyote]

i wish azur lane EOS

[silent lagoon]

[drowsy swan]

I wonder if anybody would make another ship girl game

[vagrant coyote]

so taht this channel can finally die

[silent lagoon]

N O

[drowsy swan]

Or is the ship girl genre just dead

[silent lagoon]

Hmmmmm, ypu have a point...

[vagrant coyote]

we have Girl Lane

[drowsy swan]

Like there's not going to be any new ones and if there are going to be ones please stop making them gacha

[vagrant coyote]

epic shipgirl game fr

[devout bough]

i like this server

[drowsy swan]

gacha shipgirls games need to take a break

[light fable]

If they do, they'd have to compete with AL and Kancolle.

Both already have established player bases

[silent lagoon]

You also have a point

[stark fox]

"Stop making them Gachas"
"I want a game about anthropomorphic Ships"
Pick one

[tight goblet]

hmm

[devout bough]

i love you

[drowsy swan]

You could make a ship girl visual novel

[silent lagoon]

[stark fox]

Crosswave Failed hard, dude

[merry robin]

It may die if they mess up with Yamato

[drowsy swan]

You could make a ship grow strategy game you could do a bunch of stuff that isn't just gacha

[drowsy swan]

I mean to be fair it's done by idea Factory and they're not known for making good games

[stark fox]

You are just explaining Battleship with Titties

[silent lagoon]

Nah, they won't

[tight goblet]

azur lane gacha is atually amazing

[devout bough]

no no hear me out we make a new ship girl first person shooter game

[tight goblet]

its very free to play

[devout bough]

with this armour layout

with full penetration and damage modelling

it'll do great

[drowsy swan]

That would probably be great but nobody would attempt to make it

[devout bough]

[tight goblet]

kawakaze would be best

[drowsy swan]

But yeah just My overall point is that there can be things that you can do with ship girls that isn't just gacha

But none will try

[stark fox]

Third Person and you got me interested

[stark fox]

Because it's a SUPER risky idea to do

[devout bough]

3PS would work too

[light fable]

Azur lane would make a great strategy game. Manage your port while defending against siren attacks

[drowsy swan]

Bingo

[devout bough]

||opsi||

[drowsy swan]

The most not risky one would probably just be a visual novel

[stark fox]

And would likely Fail

[devout bough]

Azur Lane HOI

[light fable]

https://tenor.com/view/warcraft3-gaming-fight-gif-17059551

[devout bough]

[drowsy swan]

Basically what Al was going to be if the game had failed was going to be in eroge

and what victory belles should have been

Victory Bells gameplay was bad but man the people could write a decent story

It should have just been a visual novel like the developers were good at

[silent lagoon]

Age Of Empires, but with AL

[vagrant coyote]

azur lane 2 will be porn

[silent lagoon]

[vagrant coyote]

[stark fox]

No.... It'd just be dead.

[devout bough]

payment processors wouldn't accept it

sadly

[silent lagoon]

[devout bough]

because consenting adults can't consume +18 materials

[austere mesa]

Fuck visa and mastercard

[drowsy swan]

That's what I said original idea it was from the beginning that they thought if the game originally failed so like the first year or so that they could turn it into an eroge

Probably they can't anymore

[vagrant coyote]

azur lane 2 will accept bitcoin

[silent lagoon]

https://tenor.com/view/perlica-endfield-arknights-arknights-endfield-paypal-gif-4749074892048013995

[drowsy swan]

[devout bough]

next thing we find out their CEOs went to epstein island

You know what i want

[cedar hawk]

Solely because the existence of Toreador is a wonder of itself

[devout bough]

Perseus oath skin

she'd be so adorable

surprised they haven't increased oath skin addition rate. It's just standard png so not that expensive, and it's the most reliable way to make people happy

[tight goblet]

hmm

albion oath skin

unzen oath skin

shininao oath skin

[stark fox]

Yeah but saturating the pool means less excitement over who gets one.
Plus they probably go through more designs

[devout bough]

I will personally fund this game

if it's going to EOS before Richelieu oath skin

[drowsy swan]

You Mean Girls front line

Because asks girls have have an oath

[static sparrow]

Toreador does exist irl
As Lamborghini Marzal concept

[oblique dove]

https://tenor.com/view/azur-lane-richelieu-gif-25917310

[devout bough]

ugghhhh

no new Richelieu content since

2020

[cedar hawk]

I know what it is based off, but what I am talking about is the function of Toreador itself

Since you know, for a clearly gasoline car, this thing can be a submarine too

[vestal briar]

Don't some of them like shoot missiles

[cedar hawk]

There is NO exhaust

[devout bough]

nevermind, 2020 apparently

[tight goblet]

mm

[devout bough]

the last Richelieu skin was 6 years ago

[drowsy swan]

to jean bart

[cedar hawk]

I wouldn't even talk about how that thing have infinite rockets and ammo, just the sheer fact that it can be a submarine AND can use boost is already an anomaly of its own

[drowsy swan]

Jean bart is clearly there favorite

[devout bough]

diesel electric car

[vestal briar]

It has missiles in case someone cuts you off

[cedar hawk]

Toreador is a purely gas car

[vestal briar]

Ultimate road rage device

[devout bough]

then it wouldn't work underwater no?

[cedar hawk]

Somehow it did

[devout bough]

[cedar hawk]

and not to mention for a car made majorly out of glass

even when shot to the point of cracking

[devout bough]

anyways

[cedar hawk]

it still can dive and you can breathe normally with 0 leaks too

[devout bough]

does anyone have the new Avrora skin

i can't find an announcement post for it

did i hallucinate it up

Yeah I thought they nerfed illustrious for a second

[drowsy swan]

It's so odd how much the dev seem to not want to give iron blood any retrofits

[cedar hawk]

Can we get Helena 2

in fact let us have Essex Zwei 2 Retrofit

[drowsy swan]

I think we're really hurts her is that the new art style just makes her look like a lesser Lusty

Probably because it doesn't fit her original art style

[devout bough]

Cruise Pass skins are some of the most goated standard skins for no reason

[rose spire]

Indeed

[stark fox]

Cuz they actually let the artist draw something that's not naked

[drowsy swan]

I remember so many people had a huge issue with this skin

[cedar hawk]

Technically oath skins are the cheapest skin to exists that isnt free either

[devout bough]

Even the swimsuits in cruisepass are so much better

[rose spire]

Oh nice

[stark fox]

Yeahj

[silent lagoon]

2 Unryuu and 2 L'Imdomptable

[stark fox]

But leave them out of the cruise pass

[rose spire]

They always cook with meta

[silent lagoon]

....but no Nayoro

[devout bough]

This mogs most L2D swimsuits skins

[drowsy swan]

The problem is is that no one cares about them

[stark fox]

Cruise Pass is my only Solace of cute and wholesome skins

[drowsy swan]

They don't get any skins nor upgrades and also they don't show up in any official media that much

[cedar hawk]

I already finished the first grind

[drowsy swan]

Like legit outside of ash from the original anime you don't see them in anything no manga no anime no official stuff usually

[graceful lion]

And skill leveling

[drowsy swan]

They just don't exist

[drowsy swan]

suffrens is great

[devout bough]

GlorM gang

[drowsy swan]

Because they don't want to outdo them

[devout bough]

[drowsy swan]

Because the fact is that they're basically given for free they don't want to make them overpowered

[devout bough]

[rose spire]

Ask lion

[devout bough]

[devout bough]

I remember it so clearly

[drowsy swan]

kirov one is funny

[devout bough]

scraping cubes by cubes day by day

[drowsy swan]

Because she doesn't even look like her original design much

[sick crest]

Murm meta

[devout bough]

back then we never had any time to save up

[devout bough]

so each event ran dangerously close to running out of cubes

[drowsy swan]

Like I when I first saw her I did not know it was her cuz it's such a different design

[devout bough]

My luck was fortunately quite alright

so it was only Prince of Wales where i ran out totally and had to pul day by day to get her

[silent lagoon]

200 cubes and I get Nayoro...

[devout bough]

after that though i don't think i've ever ran out of cubes

[silent lagoon]

[static sparrow]

~~Kirov meta's special touch line ~~

[devout bough]

it's just bad or good luck at that point

[graceful lion]

[sick crest]

Yes

[devout bough]

speaking of kancolle i'll have to visit Kure again

[shut crane]

back in my day hammsuke had real cat ears

[drowsy swan]

That was basically a mixture of kancolle and girls frontline

[devout bough]

idk when i'll be in Hiroshima next though

[drowsy swan]

In that game the ship girls are basically Androids that can go Abyssal

[drowsy swan]

Yeah before they retcon that only sakura girls have that

[devout bough]

last time i was there Yamato museum was closed for rennovations. It finished just a few weeks ago

[sick crest]

[shut crane]

museum? I thought it's a hotel

[drowsy swan]

Remember when originally they had NPCs and they all had animal features when it came to the humans in Sakura

[devout bough]

||yamato love hotel||

||make love with yamato inside||

[drowsy swan]

And then there was warmonger nagato

[sick crest]

Beeg sword

[devout bough]

i'm not a fan of many Kancolle designs

but man

i love Yamato

[sick crest]

Shimakaze funni

[drowsy swan]

They changed it because they changed the directions of making the Japanese faction Pure Evil

Because it was so popular in Japan at the time

[shut crane]

[drowsy swan]

The original campaign

[stark fox]

Literally untrue in every possible way

[devout bough]

the campaign is literally just WW2 from the Allied perspective

[devout bough]

If that's what we're going off then Sakura Empire is still the antagonist in the campaigns to this day

[sick crest]

Yes

[stark fox]

Nagato's design was literally changed because they changed Nagato's Story.
If you read Ink-Stained-Steel Sakura.
You'd know that a KEY POINT IN THE EVENT is that Nagato never fired her guns before

[sick crest]

[austere mesa]

[gentle charm]

Fusou love

My favourite

[sick crest]

[stark fox]

They changed her design to look more like a priestess, as that was her role in the Sakura.
And it wouldn't make sense for a girl who "Never Fired their Weapons" to be dripped out like a samurai

[drowsy swan]

So yeah they went from warmonger to Priestess

[austere mesa]

Beeg sword

[shut crane]

eeeeaaaaars

[stark fox]

They also changed Mutsu from a Priestess with Big Booba

[austere mesa]

Would

[shut crane]

cute

[drowsy swan]

And look at all these NPCs

[devout bough]

i prefer the new design a lot more

[stark fox]

Same. Nagato a Cutie

[sick crest]

Bith are good

[drowsy swan]

And I remember the original artist of this was pretty pissed off about what happened

[gentle charm]

I love the Fuso class

[stark fox]

And then they got over it and drew that one flat as fuck carrier

[tight goblet]

Ni ni is qt

[shut crane]

I mean, it’s like the only English voice acting. We get outside of those 3-D announcement stuff.

[devout bough]

Alsace's french accent

[drowsy swan]

them giving a voice and a model to Indiana, which will probably never see ever again

[devout bough]

i don't care if that's not how actual French people sound

[drowsy swan]

I mean, it’s not like they were going to get an actual French person to do it

they would’ve probably got somebody from Louisiana or something from Quebec

[devout bough]

finding a French person who speaks English is hard enough

[stiff forum]

wish she was store "buy her for in real life"

[drowsy swan]

Imagine trying to get a German and Italian or a Russian

[drowsy swan]

or somebody of Dutch for the tuplia girls

[devout bough]

There are quite a few Japanese/Russian voice actresses

actually

[drowsy swan]

but yeah, Italian is probably way harder like actual Italian
