hello everyone ❤️ today, i am NOT being a hater unlike my last post.

i am still disappointed with the 6th anni update BUT, i figured i’d list a few features that i wouldn’t mind bandori having that would be stolen from project sekai which is, by all accounts, it’s sister game seeing as they’re both made/distributed by craft egg. i’m not really even against bandori adding new features, i am just against them adding SO MANY pay to win features. so this is a list of non pay to win features that would suit the game, ripped straight from the game they’re stealing from anyway LMFAO

here’s the list!

1. custom profiles!!!! i know this is. sort of a controversial one maybe but i just love graphic design & i love the idea of being able to make cool, unique profiles!!! obviously i think they should keep the option of the default & the custom one, because some people just don’t like them so they should be able to just use the default one! i am also heavily biased towards this bc i LOVE the bandori art so much more than the prsk art and i wanna flex my gorgeous cards,,,,,,,,

2. kizuna ranks/trust ranks/whatever they’re called idk: i really like the idea of getting the titles to show off the bonds between your band-mates, and since bandori’s characters are all so close, it makes sense for this to be an option!! :D

3. birthday titles! just something simple that allows for more ways to show off your love for a character! i know we sort of already have this in the form of the birthday pins, but i wouldn’t honestly mind getting the pin & a “happy birthday character name!” title, too! especially since pin space can be harder for newer players to get, adding a birthday title would still allow them to show off their love for the character!

that’s it. i’m still mad and a hater to my core but here is me not being a hater for once 🥪🥪

new characters have been datamined! meet COLOR CLASH, a band specializing in duets!

from left to right, meet the members! there's the hot-tempered and cold pianist, chiyoko kanki.

one of the two vocalists and main guitarist, the confident and tomboyish manami matsumoto.

the other vocalist and backup guitarist, the mild-mannered and thoughtful sumire kuwata.

their emotionless and mysterious drummer, tamiko yamashita.

and last but not least, the polite bassist with interesting hobbies, rui uchida!

purchase their cover songs of "aoi shiori", "ai dee", "roki" and "electric angel" at the circle shop or play their original songs "衝突", "GRADIENT" and "purple days"!

... just kidding! they’re just my ocs but if you have any questions about them, I’d be happy to answer!

I'm having some mixed feelings about this 6th Anniversary update...

Yup, that's right guys I'm BACK with the weirdest update of all time.

First of all...

I'm LOVING the new Afterglow outfits. I'm so glad that they made them different for every member instead of having them all be the same.

I'm not sure what's happening with the art style here, though. It's weird, but I like it.

MISAKI IS FREE. FINALLY

SHE FINALLY GET'S WHAT SHE DESERVES. I don't know if this has to do with one of the HHW stories because I haven't read a single story since 2021 (lol), but I'm thrilled!

Now here's where things get more negative.

I'm not a fan of the 3D models.

They look really unpolished and odd, it just wasn't a good idea. It feels like Bandori is just copying what Project Sekai.

The models do seem to have some cool animation features, like the way that they move their fingers, chords and music stuff, etc. But even in 3D live mode, the models have really weird shadows.

WHY DID BANDORI DO THIS. WHY WAS THERE EVER A NEED FOR FIVE STARS.

This completely devalues all the other 4*'s that I have. It took YEARS to get all of those! And now they won't even be that good.

I am glad that they're doing the Kirameki card transfer, though. That means I'll at least have one five star for 6th anni.

But part of this also feels really weird, because even though Kirameki cards are awesome, they don't have, like, astonishing art or costumes.

THIS I am excited for, though. Kirameki AND Dreamless with new five stars?! This is great!

But with my luck I'm gonna get absolutely no good cards lol

I absolutely HATE this new decoration feature. Bandori isn't a silly life simulation decorating game, it's a rhythm game. The dumbest feature of 2023.

All together, I'm really bummed out.

The game is trying to be too much like every other game out there. And with games like D4DJ and Pjsekai, Bandori has lost the spotlight. All of these efforts they've been putting in to regain it are just tanking the game's reputation. Maybe after this anniversary, Bandori might need to go. (Even though that would be super sad.)

This update is probably going to lose lots of Bandori fans, sadly.

pov: cleared hell or hell on special yesterday after practicing it for ab 3 months (been practicing it since it released on the EN server)

If you want some tips for how to clear it

1. Practice. lots and LOTS of practice (I practiced it at least once a day and at max 5 times before I finally cleared it)
2. use tap effects 5 and directional effect decrease, this imo helps you see the notes better as they're the least dramatic effects (Btw I played this at speed 10.9 with 160% note size with note type 5)
3. I recommend using an all healer team, with skills at level 5 for maximum health gain

If these tips ended up helping, please let me know <3

can i just say. i hate most of the big changes bandori is adding.

they are literally just turning it into project sekai at this point and it’s so fucking frustrating to see something that i love be clogged up with useless pay to win features that NOBODY WANTS.

sure, mastery rank can improve talent, and sure you get rewards from that dumbass battle pass thing. and sure, whatever 5stars. cool! 3d mvs, wow, awesome!

but at the same time, bandori has been fine without them for YEARS. it’s biggest appeal over project sekai has always been the lack of unnecessary features to overcomplicate what is a simple concept: collect cute anime girl and note go tap tap.

these are, in my opinion, some of the worst features of project sekai. and now they’re going to be in bandori. great.

i guess it’s dumb to be upset about a gacha game being play to win,, but that’s what i liked about bandori. it’s got pay to win aspects like every gacha game will, but it’s always been so much more focused on the characters and the cards and the stories.

not features stolen from another game that most people won’t touch after a week and will end up just eating up more storage JUST LIKE THEY ALREADY DO IN PROJECT SEKAI.

it’s just… so frustrating. i am very, very unhappy. maybe this is a pessimistic take but frankly i think that by trying to clone project sekai, bandori is going to run it’s already dwindling support into the ground.

because nobody likes a knockoff, ESPECIALLY at the expense of a good game.

sorry if you’re excited for any of this stuff. i just cannot force myself to feel anything positive about the bastardisation of one of my favourite games & biggest special interests!

I'm so happy that we will be able to choose between Misaki and Michelle! Can't wait for this to also be on global server (=⌒‿‿⌒=)

got the only card in the kirameki festival that I didn't want lmao <3 (I wanted lock or yukina btw)
