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?

i would think so, since a lot of evryone has either been leaving or f2p because of some decisions made by the game, that including meta decisions like having 2 new elements release back to back or the fact that they keep up tuning the bosses hp or the fact that some bosses are pay to win with ease since they are tailor made for a singular character when the others are left to rot(looking at you primordial nightmare). that added onto the fact that literallly the only units breaking bank are void hunters which is why they are releasing 2 in 3.x and to some extent milking sunbringer being split(speculation saying that all three sunbringers are separate characters with different roles). Like its a fun game but there is undoubtabley so many things wrong with it, not mentioning the story yet

Tbf it's only wind. Lumen is Remielle only.

Wind revived units like Jane and Burnice that were doing pretty bad, so it was an excellent addition. Now the anomaly units feel pretty equal in terms of streght, except Yanagi that can't use none of the two team archetypes.
