so if this is a hit will they kill senran? I very highly doubt it. If anything it'd prolly mean two series to cash out on.

so if this is a hit will they kill senran? It is even more niche than Senran.

so if this is a hit will they kill senran? Hmm... all your posts seem to relate to how you wonder if it will do as well as Sk, do better than SK, if it's as good as SK etc.. I don't think Valkyie is a concern for SK. It;s not that I don't think it will do well or because I don't think it will do well. SenranKagura just has more pressing things to worry about when it comes to its future. The day the series dies I'd say is either the fans stop buying the games, or Marvy stops funding 'em. Valkyrie isn't much of a worry for SK. At best, it probably is trying to ride it's wave in order to get it's own footing.

so if this is a hit will they kill senran? I mean, if it somehow does like, ten times better than any SK game, yeah, they might consider it, but I can't see that happening. We might see them focusing more on it if it can consistently do better, but it would need to have sequels in the first place for that. The anime and phone game both give it a huge advantage and disadvantage - more exposure, but the potential for people to feel like they're getting their full without needing to get the game.

It might though, DxD had bare breasts, same with several ecchi anime so it's not impossible but I doubt it since VD and SK doesn't like to have it for some reason... To paraphrase a quote from Manyuu Hikenchou:"Simply displaying bear breasts is not the same as a nipple slip."It's all about the tease, mang. :V It's why Ecchi as a genre is relevant at all, let alone a separate one from Hentai. Not to say nipples=Hentai, but their is a market value as well as an artistic flare to hiding just enough or showing just little enough without just putting it all in display. I know and I'm not asking for any of them to go full H and have everything on display but I actually like them not being afraid of showing bare breasts. so if this is a hit will they kill senran? I doubt it since both would probably be very different.

I could see some cross promotion between the two franchises if VD proves itself to be succesful And I'm not saying this just because I want to see Asuka and Homura making out, no sir

They could have both franchises have multiples games, not just one or the other.

Alright! We're getting new characters for this! I seriously thought it would just be the first four we saw. Not that it matters to me. So long as I get the purple twins, I'll be happy!

Will it be a success though? PV killed a lot of hype cause of the kissing stuff since the japanese don't like it to get real. I can tell with the image on the phone but the transformation pics seem to be them just touching over kissing. The second image seems to be a hickey? They are talking about fanservice but it doesn't seem as erotic as Senran transformations. Already hate maid girl.

They are talking about fanservice but it doesn't seem as erotic as Senran transformations. Already hate maid girl. As in everything, it depends on where are you looking for reactions. While places like /skg/ (a place where the waifus are everything) are screaming bloody murder and predicting utter doom for the project. The reception is far more positive on places like Neogaf while the female and LGBT demographic have high hopes for it. As for the lack of kissing on in game images, I bet that is due technical limitations. Unless you made a cutscene kissing always looks really freaking weird on videogames. The fanservice being less erotic than SK is expected given they are aiming for a different demographic this time. That being said, the character designs look way better this time and have a distinctive style, graphics look better than Versus' and overall, the game seems filled with potential. I'm having a good laugh at the girls' notorious assets. That's Takaki alright.

I'm not worried about neogaf or the few LGBT members in the west though. Just Japan, simply because lesbians and Yuri are unpopular in a serious manner where in SK it's pretty much all fanservice. I wouldn't put it out that this entire thing with the kissing is fanservice either. The japanese reactions on futaba and Twitter hasn't been great. The models look really good but the character designs are much less varied, I blame it on no Nan. They are all purple or pink. And if they aren't aiming for otaku, what other dem is supposed to grab this?

That's the thing, you're looking at places where the interes is seriously skewered against any kind of serious yuri content. 2chan is no better than 4 chan in that regards and people on skg are having a Meltdown over VD, throwing complaints left and right without realizing that some of those critics apply to SK as well. I mean, there's a guy complaining about the VD having big breasts fer chris' sake. In fact, saying that the characters aren't varied enough is also somewhat of a weakness for SK. Character models are so similar that is hard to differentiate them without their signature elements. I'm not having any issue with the purple tone taken by the advertisement though.

It's not like there is a much difference in character models from these magazine scans. It's the same as SK. And just from a sales perspective, lesbians don't sell so much as just small subtext and fanservice where it's like madoka rebellion (which doesn't hold a candle to the real series). Looking at the popularity of SK characters, People like Yumi and Ikaruga are big while characters like Yagyuu just plummeted in popularity after burst, the more obsessed she became. It doesn't help either that Mirei from the animr offends all five of my senses. Maybe it's just fanservice but what demographic other than SKs would they go to?

The ones who like yuri is the most obvious but I'd say there's some effort to appeal at the female demographic.

Jeez the maid one is bigger than Murasaki.
Yeah, I'm not really feeling these designs. They don't give me that "wow, I'm going to love that character" appeal. Then again I'm not even getting this version so it doesn't really matter to me much.
