アズプロ英語版の遅延はアズレンに影響する？【海外の反応】

Seeing how bad the global reception is to AP’s delayed global, and how it’s genuinely DOA and gonna fail, let’s say the worst happens, AP fails and EoS’s before it can even launch EN, is this going to end Manjuu, and Azur Lane with it as collateral damage? Is this cause for fear for Azur Lane’s future and survival in the next 10 months or so? Even if Manjuu survives, are they guaranteed to come crawling back to Azur Lane?

Not to mention, what kind of legacy it will leave everything associated with Manjuu, especially with word of mouth affecting opinions (being vocal means the vocal minority can do a lot to influence majority opinions)?

Even if AP fails in Global, the game will make a decent amount in CN and JP, enough to keep them afloat i feel. Unless the game is complete garbage and even CN and JP players refuse to support it.

This delay only really affects Global. We’re getting the real shit end of the stick. And Global wont be as popular and make as much vs if they didnt delay.

Committing to a non-dub, text only localization shouldve been the better move. Add EN VOs later.

My point is that inevitably the hatred blows back onto Azur Lane and Manjuu as a whole becomes hated.

I think this idea is too farfetched. Azur Lane already has an incredibly niche audience, anyone of the Genshin normies that are interested in Azur Promilia, I guarentee you, have never played and will never play Azur Lane.

I doubt AP will have any large negative effect on Manjuu. We’re not China. Our market isnt nearly big enough to affect change like the CN community can. If anything this only hurts Manjuu’s credibility for AP and any future game.

Remember that AL is still basically half run by Yostar. And as bad as they are as publishers, they’re still way better than Manjuu and whoever EN publisher they found for AP.

amazing how things have come full circle to praising yostar and bashing manjuu

Also the underlying point is that it spreads more doomposting, and maybe escalates doomposting on everything manjuu until it stops being talk

The biggest reason people are responding poorly is because we all want to play it

It’s not going to EOS in Asia. I’m not sure how it’s going to do in the West, though. It’s probably going to be more niche than manjuu thinks and the delayed release is not helping.

The game won’t fail because the West is upset they aren’t going to play the game at the same day as everyone else.

The game will fail if CN and JP don’t like the product. This is the reality gacha games.

Also, no, this won’t affect AL. This won’t affect AK. This won’t affect Stella Sora.

I don’t mind a delay. I had to wait 2 years for AL to come to the west. 2 years. People are complaining over a couple of months.

I will only start complaining if the product is shit even after the delay.

Has anyone seen how much the JP server alone makes for a game like FGO? Just 2 months ago on its 11th anniversary it got first place beating out all the big open world gacha games… never underestimate how much Japan or China can carry a game on their own if it’s good enough for them

Also azur lane is doing decent numbers just last month they were at 6mil almost beating NTE

Exactly. FGO player here, the game is a massively outdated mess with gameplay literally a decade old, it’s 2 WHOLE YEARS behind the JP Server and has 0 intention to catch up and never will, and yet it keeps topping charts in JP constantly and shows 0 chances of going EoS period despite having been going for over 10 years.

If the game is good enough, this delay won’t affect it all; it’s only the modern gacha fandoms that genuinely think a delay of English release will even remotely translate to the game failing, let alone going EoS on arrival.

I honestly do not. Azur Lane has been steady as a rock as far as i have seen. If anything its gonna be AL needing to be the lifeline of AP, and if it doesnt work out its easier to cut AP rather than AL

Nope.
Azur lane probably going to run like usual as if nothing happen. You want to know what i think about AP situation too? It definitely not going to eos or doa, on the global side maybe , but even i think thats going to be a stretch, some people still wont care and will still play the game. But for CN and JP? They’re going rake in money as usual cause the big spender are CN and JP instead of global. Manjuu didnt release AL at the same time either, maybe thats why they think they can do the same for AP too. Treating us like an afterthought that is

No, AL survived financing this game and being Manjuu’s 3D testbed, once this game pays for itself in the non-global regions AL will maybe even see some improvements made when Manjuu can focus on that instead of the new game.

The EN version of Promilia is turbo cooked tough. Maybe it will keep going for 2-3 years or more, but it’s 100% going to EoS YEARS before JP/CN/KR start slowing down, and this move here? It kickstarted the live-service deathspiral for the EN version almost a year before launch.

It almost doesn’t matter how good it actually does, because the Perception of it being on that deathspiral with this move alone will be enough to kill it prematurely eventually. Especially since having the ability to plan for future banners will noticeably cut into EN’s revenue. And if you think something may go away soon, you’ll also be more cautious about putting money in, also cutting into EN revenue.

So people that can recognise these facts and then extrapolate that “lower revenue = more likely to EoS” will rather try and play a version that isn’t as likely to EoS in the relative short term. Meaning that instead of being a paying EN player they’ll be a paying JP player or just not play at all. The point here is just that it’s another thing that cuts into EN revenue. And you can anticipate this behaviour being a thing, it’s not that hard.

Everyone will try it out but there are other new games releases thx to the delay. I did not see so far much more special about this than those others and if azur doesnt do things much better than why stick with it? It will always retain some crowed but i doubt it will be that big as they think it will be in global. People get treated better by other companys with a real global release so why go back to something like that as a player?
