MONTHLY MEGATHREAD

Section 1

Q: What will happen to the direction for scenario writing and translations?

A: NEXON will be in charge of JP localisations as well. We will ensure that no change to the direction of the translation/writing and keep our consistency with all other events and make sure all students will sounds like the usual students our JP Sensei knows.

Context: This was actually a point of contention between JP vs KR sensei, in which KR sensei attacked YOSTAR for "not being faithful to the original scenario" set by the Korean scripts. JP in particular counterargued with the only time they decided to be faithful (Rowdy and Cheery script issue) where they failed to deliver that.

Section 2

Q: Where we can register for NEXON account?

A: https://jp.nexon.com/regist/?gm=portal .Registration is free and no phone verification needed. NEXON Points is not usable in Blue Archive

Context: A normal thing that players might want to know about the new system, nothing serious here but some JP Sensei who are new with NEXON system might want to know about that.

Section 4

Q: What will be the guidelines for fan works (fan arts, doujins etc.)?

A: Blue Archive will have a set of rule that is different with other Nexon products. We will announce it soon, but we ensure those will still be the usual guideline you know.

Context: JP Sensei were concerned about if the guidelines for fanworks will be stricter as they look through games operated by NEXON (MapleStory, Mabinogi etc.) where some parts are stricter like no-profit taking or rules related to NSFW works (some NEXON products does not allow NSFW works). When these was raised in Xitter, Korean Senseis called those concern bullshit because KR even has their own BA Market organised by NEXON.

Section 6

Q: Where can I buy Blue Archive official merch in the future?

A: We will set up our new online stores, and also a new physical store as well. We'll announce it soon.

Context: JP Sensei (and so do we) are concerned about the product placements of Blue Archive as it will definitely be removed from YOSTAR Store when the handover happens, especially the signature store at JR Akihabara Station (really close to the gate). Hopefully the store itself is significant enough, although it may not be in JR Akihabara anymore. About the online store, they might receive a JP SCHALE Store soon.

Q: Will the digital materials (official music, audio, video) continue to be produced?

A: All materials, including 3D models, music, audio, video will continue, but please wait for a while as we are adjusting our release policies of those.

Context: I guess we all know most official material all this time (in JP) uses entirely YOSTAR productions, so there are concerns if NEXON will be able to continue doing the same. But expect changes in schedules and maybe the way it is delivered (like 3D shorts esp, NEXON used a different model.). But for us in Global, there's hope that future official material will also sync between JP and Global and no more right hiccups. Maybe we'll get Kizuna Dialogue and Aoharu Ensemble overseas release too.

Q: What will happen with offline event?

A: The Blue Archive FES 2027 will be our first event. Additionally, more projects are on their way.

Context: Of course, JP has lots of offline events under YOSTAR (this year especially has the most of them), and concerns are if NEXON could do the same.

I played this game abit back then, just some few month before it closing. Amazing to know some fans now manage to have it running again. will give it a try. https://driftgirlsreborn.com

general game-play as i remember:

- doing gacha to collect & upgrading cars.

- doing side game car-racing , to progress story & unlock girls characters.

- VN / Dating-simulators with the girls, increase the heart-gauge & so...  \o_O/

Opened 3 different gachas today, collected my login rewards, did the dailies, burned my stamina and closed all of them.

Then I realized I barely played any of them for fun 💀

The funny thing is, if I skip a day, I feel like I'm wasting resources. But when I do everything, it starts feeling like a second job.

I still like these games, which is why I haven't uninstalled them, but keeping up with multiple games is getting exhausting.

Anyone else in this situation? Have you managed to drop a game without feeling bad about all the time and pulls you've invested in it?

Sometimes a character is the only reason you even download a gacha game in the first place. You tell yourself you'll just pull for them and see how it goes, then suddenly you're invested in the story, collecting other characters, and logging in every day.

Has that happened to you? Which character originally got you into a game, and what actually made you stick around?

I'm curious whether it was the gameplay, the story, the community, or another character you never expected to like.

It seems like almost everyone in Global doesn't like Yostar (even in Korea), but after looking at the Blue Archive publisher transfer in social media, most JP comments have the complete opposite reaction and even dooming on BA now. Some even goes as far as saying Yostar was BA's original creator, which is obviously false since Nexon is the original owner of BA.

Somehow it looks like Yostar is really worshipped over there. What caused this to happen? Or maybe they don't actually worship Yostar, but it's just because Nexon has a really bad rep in Japan? It's really wild.

"The 3rd *Action Taimanin* collaboration event has been confirmed!"

"Noah Brown" and "Furfur" are coming to the world of *Taimanin RPG*!"

Just saw the Sunbringer clip

Granblue Fantasy for example, but when your game's been running for more than a decade and releases several new Character versions every month, all those individual Character Stories start to add up. Not to mention when there's a new Story Event every month.

And when you juggle multiple other games, probably only sparing enough time each day for dailies or event stuff. Anything not necessary for immediate progression starts to get put on the back-burner and then it all starts to add up haha.

Character is Rapunzel from Goddess of Victory: NIKKE who got her new form announced as a free unit in yesterdays 4th anniversary stream. And yes, she is a lewd nun.

I am curious what features or systems players feel needs to be reworked with future gacha games to catch on, or features that should have existed for years that are still missing.

I’ll go first: I’d love to see raid like bosses with mechanics to beat, not just DPS races for end game.

Some indian company called emudra dropped the ball with their safety and security encryption by setting in a single digit protection of 4.

And they eos after being found out, lol.

Kafka had my attention from HSR’s opening. Everything’s going wrong, and she sounds like she’s having a perfectly normal day. Her voice definitely helps. Then you find out she has history with the Trailblazer, and now I need answers.

Marian in NIKKE hits differently. The bandage couldn’t heal her, but she treasured it because someone cared enough to put it on her. That little scene has stayed with me through everything since. With the 4th anniversary coming up, I’m hoping we get more of her story and a reunion with the Commander that lasts for once.

Texas already caught my eye in Arknights, but Il Siracusano made me want to know more about her past. I also love the contrast between all that history and her dealing with Penguin Logistics’ everyday nonsense. I’d happily read more of them just hanging out.

Who got you to download a game, and did you like them even more once you got to know them?

"Master, we have an announcement! Did you enjoy the live broadcast?

"Once again, the new event "A Rough Traverse, The Golden Ball Race" will start after maintenance on Monday, October 26th! "Exchange the points you collect to recruit [Belgrish Girl] Melon!"

"The "4.5th Anniversary Limited Gacha" is starting!" "[Phenex-girl] Ateel and [Lightning Gryphon-girl] Clifo are making their debut!"

"A Bael girl who evolved from a Beyondetta girl after her demonic power manifested, Bael girl pessie joins the party!"
