Anonymous asked:

do you think the age of rough/dark lilith is over? supposedly all the rpgx scenes are just vanilla with some exceptions and none get as "risky" as OG llilith games, do you think theyll ever go back to that? or is the vanilla gacha money too good to pass up.

That's not really true. It's been moving in that direction, but there are still plenty of scenes along the lines of the ones from the VNs. The main issues are that (a) they write a lot of characters (including major ones like Yukikaze) to be Fuuma-exclusive and vanilla, and (b) there's no permanence or continuity between the scenes. A lot of scenes set up the possibility of a sequel, but it's anyone's guess whether their plot threads will be continued or ignored. Maya shits her personality out, leaving it in the hands of a master trainer who plots to corrupt her, yet her next scene is her and Fuuma. On the other hand, they seem committed to the plotline of Hebiko becoming the town bike, but appear to have skipped over all the training she's supposedly been getting.

One way or another, they're not going to ditch RPGX for the foreseeable future. They're about to enter "Volume 2", whatever that means. Pretty audacious, to suggest your gacha game has a chance of lasting six more years. This is just what the Taimanin series is now.

side not whats your thoughts on them fumbling the bag on the rpgx global release?

It's baffling. I have no idea why they went out of their way to create that much extra work for themselves, and increase their costs by doing so, when all they needed to do was port the game as-is with English instead of Japanese.
