hi i just wanted to say if jungle maya doesn't come home i'm quitting bandori so this is the prayer circle so she comes home pLEASE MAYA

a lot of people don't like sayo because she's so rude and cold all the time, and I guess that's fair, since I usually don't care about that type of character too. but... the fact is, her personality developed like this for reasons I relate to, and THAT's what really made me not like her at first.

bear with me, because this is going to get a bit personal: the fear of not being enough, of always being compared to someone else who is better than you in every single way and being that person's shadow... I felt and sometimes still feel like that too. obviously, the person I'm talking about is not like hina at all, and the reasons I had for those feelings are not the same as sayo's, but I was reading about something that reminded me of the ugly parts of my personality and of some pretty bad memories. and I absolutely loathed that. I couldn't stand sayo and her relationship with hina in that moment. then, I read more of roselia's story, and I came to understand that what I really hated of sayo were the parts of her that reminded me of my shortcomings; and from then, seeing her find her own place within roselia was really touching.

I guess the point of all this is... I never thought a gacha/mobage game could make me feel so strongly about a character and their story, or that I could personally relate to it. bandori's writing is just... extremely good!!!! the characters are well fleshed out and their relationships with each other are believable... totally not what I expected from this game.

I'd like to see your versions in the comments. I'll leave mine there too. Just be respectful with everyone's opinions and don't be mean.

EDIT: Added a color for BROTP since someone mentioned it in the comments.

okay can i just say how much i love the characterization in this game?? unlike some other idol games with these characters that feel the same in personality there are so many different characters in bandori and i just cant get enough of it

ive never seen a harsh and cold character with reason behind their actions and a character separate from those actions until chisato, ive never seen a complex and borderline broken sibling relationship in an idol game until hina and sayo, ive never seen a truly realistic friend group thats survived 10+ years until afterglow, and ive never seen a character that struggles with connecting with "other people" until hina

honestly the characters in this game rival games like enstars in the characterization aspect because these 25 girls feel so real and wonderful to me???? sorry for long ramble post thats been done so many times at this point but damn i live this game

I love how Ran has just...faded in Moca's intial 3* transparent lol

few things make me as happy as thinking about Moca doing that sick guitar riff at the end of Hey-day Capriccio

people like these are the reason why I play the game

me: hmm I need one or two new pure cards

gacha: ;D

MY F2P STARS ARE READY FOR CONSTELLATION KASUMI AND SO IS MY BODY (wish me luck cuz i’ll need it ;;w;;)

EDIT: SHE CAME HOME ON THE FIRST PULL!!!! THIS IS UNREAL IM STILL IN SHOCK THANK YALL WHO GAVE ME UR BLESSINGS AAAAA

I'm still wondering what friends are for. You can't see their event rankings like on LL... and you can't really communicate with them...

I felt like sharing how I decide on adding friends! It'd be impossible to add everyone!

My criteria for adding friends after multi-lives:

Priority:

Band title (a band I like!)

Username (Cool reference and fun names)

Difficulty Chosen (same/above what I chose)

Performance on Live (Must not die super quickly)

Score (bar must be same as mine or larger)

Maybe: Card displayed (just not worse girl)

Sticker Choices (bonus points if you pick best girls or are tactful/funny)

Song Choices (bonus points if you pick my favorite songs)

Accepting Requests: Rank (Decently high, so I know you won't just flat out leave)

Profile Statement (I only add people if they aren't using the default statement. It's boring for me.)

Card Star #/Girl (bonus points for best girls and 4 stars. I prefer 3+ stars...)

I'm just wondering how do you guys make friends on Bandori while playing the game? Not with irl friends, but with people you've never met or even contacted beyond using stickers and profile comments.

For all of you deprived Tsugu fans, I made an edit! I thought she'd look cute in this Kanon card, so I did my best.
