It's a one stop situation. Replaying this game doesn't really benefit you in any way the way a lot of classical rpgs does. You can do everything in 1 run besides the dragons and NG+ isn't really a fun steamroll. And the sidequests themselves, while good, are a bit sparse compared to other jrpg. So it's not like re-doing them really yields anything interesting after the first time. And replaying is how a lot of jrpg get fans as there is always more to see and share.

There is very little actually keeping anyone in the world itself. To elaborate, take SMT/Persona. In each of those games, there's generally a 'what if' to enemy encounters and antagonists that leave a lot of room for alternate possibilities. And the cast is dynamic with so many personalities and each person has a role to play in how events turn out. Nahobino and SMTV even has canon soul mates. And SMTV barely even has a story. The world is just that vast and good for fandom.

Metaphor is rich with lore and has a gorgeous setting- but there's very little really going on with anyone outside of the MC and everyone's lives sort of depend on the plot that happens. I don't know if this makes sense or not- but there's just not a lot of impact going on the way it is in other fandoms. Strohl's story sort of ends and begins with Will. Why ship him with any of the other boys when they don't have anything to do with one another? Some people are happy and satisfied with hot boy x hot boy but that doesn't keep a fandom going. Almost all of the content I've seen still going is with Louis because he's the only character who has depth and dimension. Sure his one sides situationship with his henchmen is very Grifith and band of the hawk but this circles back to the world being sparse on side content. And anime only weebs aren't going to begin to try and read the manga.

>what is it about this game that makes people not give a shit?
It's hard to put into words. I was chomping at the bit for this when they first released that concept art of the redheaded elf who would later become Hulkenberg and I feel like they flubbed my initial expectations in a way that made it impossible for me to really "forgive" the game and click with it. A sequel to SMT x FE, lol.

A less personal critique is that it lacks the sandbox quality that tends to draw in and retain fujoshi creators.

>>5568
I'm late to the party, I'm around 30 hours into the game and I think Strowill is cute but also that I want Louis to diddle them both

>Favourite Cookie?
Millennial Tree will forever be my favorite. His design (nature and femboy looks), his canon deep voice, and how he's often forgotten by devsisters…kinda makes him more mysterious and cool for me lol. Still hurtst tho…he's like, jesus cookie. C'mon man. Also i have a soft spot for Yogurt Cream since I started playing the game when he was first released. For Kingdom, I love Eclair. Dark Choco was my first love, and Churro cookie is soooooooo underrated it hurts. He's so cute bros
>Best ships?
Millenial x Wind Archer/Churro
Yogurt Cream x Lilac
Milk x Dark choco
>Do you like humanised fanart or do you prefer normal Cookie fanart?
both. We gotta admit that human Almond cookie is just peak design tho
>Ovenbreak, Kingdom or both?
Ovenbreak. Kindgom bore me to death. I only downloaded it to have a town to place Millennial on when he gets added to Kingdom
>Looking forward to the new games?
Not really. I don't think Devsis knows how to advertise their other games. And honestly the fandom already has everything they want with Kingdom and Ovenbreak.

Ok your guys cute art convinced mw I'm downloading Ovenbreak.

Necrobump but I love these 2, curse this fandom for hating anything Yogurca related

>>5497
fuckkkk tetsuo is so hot I love this part of the game

>>5498
This is the first time I'm seeing someone say something positive about Tetsuo. I found Makoto and Zenya to be much more likeable than him, personally.
I'd like to hear what you think of the game once you've finished all the routes anon.

>>5499
I kek at his sheer seme-ness. To be honest his purpose is just to deliver dick to Youji. I will have to update you after I am finished with all the routes.

>>5314
Thanks!! I drew a little something today.

I've been playing the games for the first time. Am at Mega Man 4 right now. So far I've been really enjoying them!

>>5489
Nonnie, your art is adorable! I never thought much about Megaman shipping besides X/Zero, but you're really convincing me on these two.

>>5491
I'm glad to hear that! I made another doodle of them lol. Snake Man is already so cute on his own… But seeing him get all happy and excited for a fat round toad robot… It's so stupidly cute!

Thank you, I owe you my life. Even just this much brings me back. She was one of my favorite doujin artists from back then.

I'm a bit of a Kaito pervert

I'm more into the songs on this fandom so I'll dump some nice ones I heard recently:

Self-cover of my fave kailen song! Glad to see it getting some love in 2026 still like the original better tho kaito's v3 sound real weak here

https://youtu.be/BCfvT1p7JAs
https://youtu.be/p0R9-53I1SQ
https://youtu.be/7qAAg5WeB20
https://youtu.be/PEy191DdcsE
Maybe it's just me but there's been an uptick of good kailen songs in the past 2-3 years. Not that I'm complaining but I wonder if it's just my algorithms being biased or an actual trend

This pose is so cute but man does that head angle make my neck hurt in sympathy.

>>5484
I've never even seen Hunter x Hunter but I verbally said 'hell yeah' when I saw this figure online the other day.

>>5484
cutttee although I would prefer a standing one of Gon and Killua!
>>5486
you should watch it. if you're a shotafag you'll like it a lot

Here's the artist, they draw Rock more than BJ though.

Thank you so much, nona. Itadakimasu! This fandom is so hard to find stuff for on Pixiv these days. (I'm a Rock fangirl too, so this makes me happy.)

>>4127
I was really truly in love with him and I feel sicker and sicker each week as it sets in, especially because I'm too selfish to accept it's going to make him happier in the long run.

>>4271
I'm so sorry that you're suffering so much anon. I'm not good at comforting people myself, so I'll share what Fuuchan said on his graduation announcement.
"Let yourself feel it. You're feelings are valid and you should let yourself feel them. You're feelings are valid, even if others might not understand why it means so much to you." You might not feel so right now but I'm 100% sure Ike cherished the quildren and enjoyed streaming for you all. It's okay to feel sad and mad he left and that he should have stayed. I know it's not the same but watch other for his pl account Xanadu and of course, there's the youtube archive ragtag, some videos work still.

Just think this is all thanks to a certain someone who couldn't be more mature and responsible lol. I'll never forgive her for what she did to everyone. The holo livers are so lucky they have considerate co-workers and a toxic fanbase who won't let you say anything bad about them

Do y’all still watch vtubers?

Kemeo should die in the most painful way possible, if the bitch isn't already dead

>>5063
Excellent taste re: Astaroth and Nightmare! That sounds like an excellent ship, and also? The art you shared is adorable too. I hope for your sake people come to their senses and properly fujo out in the art sphere for Soul Calibur one day.

Seconding your thoughts on Voldo - that deep bowing in one of his endings (SC 4, I think?) really sells his gentlemanly side.

>>5071
Due to Luke and Jamie, SF has had a pretty big resurgence of female fans, especially fujo ones. Ed being redesigned into a (relatively skinny) pretty boy helped keep interest, too. RyuKen has always had a pretty niche, but strong, following (never as big as Kyo/Iori though).

My selfish desire is for Remy to be added in season 4 and having fujobait with Alex.

>>5075
OP: This art is stellar! Glad to hear there IS some good fujo resurgence - FGC fujoing is a rare but delightful taste, and I’m ever joyful to see it in all its forms. Here’s hoping you get your Remy x Alex wishes, nonna! I’m rooting for you!
