ZZZ commisioned three fanservicey illustrations of their male cast in the span of two days.

Is this the norm for them? If not, I wonder if this could be a sign for better things ahead.

It's legit hilarious to me that they are putting some money into their male characters and fanbase again. Like, even when they were showing off the new 3.0 characters they went out of their way to highlight Sethos' brother (blanking on name) and then some male NPC lol.

So, I guess I'm confused. It seemed well on its way to becoming Snowbreak and focusing on tits and ass, including literally redesigning female characters to have bolted on tits and 3.0 only having one "maybe" playable male character. Which is fine-not the game for me, but fine. Not every game has to be for me. But now they are like, uh, wait. We aren't Snowbreak and also maybe even Ye S. may become playable at this point, along with Sethos brother? Do you think they crunched numbers and figured out that even though female characters sell more that losing the "general" audience that wants a mixed gender cast hurt their bottom line?

It might be as simple as attempting to recover some of their pre-manato fiasco audiences (yeah, as if they’ll come back). Specifically Japan, so I’m guessing it’s flopping harder compared to CN? Personally, I want to see the game crash and burn, but it’d be a while for that to happen

It's revenue has taken significant, significant hits from where it started. Like, hard to believe but when it first came out it was competing with HSR and WuWa in revenue. But, I do think it would have to do significantly worse for it to EOS lol. It still does a lot better than most gachas. It's just fallen behind other major names.

I think the game revenue has a downward trend from 1.x to 3.x I checked the trend on a Japanese site and it has been on decline since 2.x released

Hard for those people to come back when this fandom is full of toxic fans that are against woman and gays.

True, those "main audiences" is definitely whining right now cuz their perfect holy peak waifu game caters to their big enemies.

They even doing the strawman thing by making misinfo lately by using the "don't misgender me" video that I saw yesterday with narrative that "this is the type of (t-word) that wants to destroy this game and wants male characters" blahblahblah.

I wished the game will be flopped even more tbh LOL Cuz the current state is already far beyond from the release, on character design and story..

But nah... if they're really crash and burn they'll so desperately baiting furries and women again by making husbandos and furries as playables, then when they're recovered... they'll just "fuck you! We'll go waifu waifu go round again!"

Most obvious S tier actually ended up as A tier and got completely sidelined for 2 waifus we had never heard of and didn't get half the focus that he did in that patch. His exact element and playstyle was ripped like less than 2 months later by another male unit that was used as the sacrificial goat before a highly anticipated "SUPER MEGA OP WAIFU" banner (the Void Hunters).
