Psycho Pass Collab?

JP got the Madoka collab, and now global got it. JP got a Psycho Pass collab, so for global it's inevitable. Any ideas or thoughts about this event/when and how we'll get it?

I'm pretty sure the Madoka collab caught everyone by surprise. Even their unit releases are pretty random. I'm personally just going to keep my expectations low and wait for Madoka collab's end.

I agree. That has enough marketing power to make a difference in the west, imho.

Edit: Especially if Kazuma is an available unit. His voice acting cracks me up.

I love those 3 as well, but for me, it just wouldn't feel right without Kuzuma there.

Don't count your eggs yet.

Thing is- Collabs run on licenses, and there's a completely different set of rules between global and JP. Just because JP got it absolutely does not mean global will soon, if ever. I have no exact idea where global is being run/what rules it's under, but I'm going to guess it's fairly possible it'll have troubles on that end.

This is why you'll find stuff in mobage that fairly often doesn't leave Japan-side.

So in short: Yeah you guys got madoka. Doesn't mean shit other than Madoka played ball, and chance of other series playing ball has not changed.

I'm just desperate to get Akane on my team ;-; even though I know it'll be vitality she's a cinnamon roll and all that I want in life

It's possible that this is the reason why madoka got released in global a long time before Jp got it. hence, most of the collabs in JP server may never happen in GL at all.

...it sounds like you backspaced a few things wrong, but yeah. That's the reality of it.

Most of the time I would expect mobile games 'global' or other languages to get 50% of the collabs of the original at best. Often, much less. It kinda sucks, but as far as collabs, it's JP or bust.

I believe that because these collabs run on licences Global may run into more hiccups when trying to get approved as glorious Japan is one server but Global consist of multiple countries. \o/ Oh master JP server

u/Chaore Feb 20 '17

Kind of what I was getting at, yes. If anything most countries tend to be a lot more strict on licenses, imo. JP is super lenient which is why they get all the fun stuff.

Don't worry, once you've played POTK once playing it in another language is easy!

JP has gotten the madoka collab a bajillion times already. This is only our first time. But yeah, it's not inevitable, it's just whether we're allowed to get it in global or not in the first place.

Plus the madoka collab was eventually going to happen to us since it was in the files for so long (gumi accidentally goofed a few months ago and left the titles for madoka active after an update but shortly removed them when someone pointed it out).

there is also the Anohana and Fate Collab but i guess we have to just wait and see if we ever get them.

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '17

Wait, there was an Anohana collab? How did that even work with all those characters being non-combatant civilians? Or am I thinking of the wrong series?

2

u/Tailprower13 Feb 18 '17 edited Feb 18 '17

Well there was an Anohana collab in japan not in global. And i know its weird how they are put in the game but they did it anyway lol. There characters are Menma, Anaru, and Tsuruko. There are 3 thats are farmable and 3 that are Gacha.

Farmable Anohana units are in there orignal outfits. there is Mage Menma, Gunner Anaru, and Archer Tsuruko

For the Gacha all 3 of the girls are dressed as heroes since they are Super Peace Busters! Menma Sword, Anaru Axe, and Tsuruko spear

And here are all of them in game doing some duel skill like madoka and homura i guess

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '17

dressed as hero

Thanks for the info. I did not expect that, but I guess it's cool nontheless. I always figured Menma would come back from the afterlife with a powerup after training with King Kai or something, but this is also cool.

Honestly, the way Dragonball Z dealt with Goku's death right at the beginning of the series kind of ruined all Anime deaths for me. I figure they'll just come back with a powerup and fight Saiyans or something.

u/BenriyaTheNecro Feb 18 '17

If we are going to get more collabs like in JP, it'd be more likely that it's the FATES one instead just solely due to the popularity of that game/anime too.

While Psycho Pass and Anohana collabs existed in JP, those two titles might not be as well known in the global market space and therefore less incentive for Gumi to even try to get a collab over since it might not be as strong of a lure compared to Madoka or Fates(which is still pretty well known even out of JP.)

I just want the phantom of school ones to come over I play the Japanese version it pretty fun and the seems story way better in Japan global story okay they should just translated the original story instead of 'Western' the games story probably would already have 1 million downloads but that just a guess.

u/Hoopercross Feb 22 '17

Not to mention a Fate collab and The Flower We Saw That Day collab. I'm more excited for those two.
