Japanese Gamer Reactions:
"The rhythm game gameplay isn’t as good as Cinderella, why didn’t they just use that one…?"
"there isn’t as many characters as I expected, why’s that?"
"The job system is perfect for slow old men like me!quot;

A derivative of iDOLM@STER, this game features talents from 765 artist agency. Like the previous Cinderella Girls, Million Live!: Theatre Days is a rhythm game, but with different characters. The gameplay is also slightly different, with more emphasis on the actual training of each idol.

Additionally, to prevent hardcore fans from spending a fortune on the games, the pick up rate for both games has been increased to give fans a better chance to collect them all.

Japanese Gamer Reactions:
"The game is so-so, fans of Symphogear could get it off with just the animations."
"the gameplay is pretty similar to FGO."
"The game is heavily influenced by the different attributes"

A game that is sold to fans of the series. The combat system is similar to that of FGO, which means, players won’t be able to cruise on with just one strong character. Majority of the game lies within the main story line and raising different characters. Symphogear fans may be able to enjoy the game, but for normal gamers, there might be a barrier of entry.

One thing you can’t deny is that With Mizuki’s songs as background, Symphogear feels pretty hot-blooded.

Japanese Gamer Reactions:
"Social game… Everyone, play this game to get over your social anxieties!"
"Quite interesting, the character customization is quite intricate."
"The only problem with is game is that you easily get bored of it."

This game was made for players to play with friends, or to interact with Japanese gamers. From just the character customization, one can easily tell that this game emphasizes on socializing.
The game’s system is simple and direct, with straightforward combat and guild functions. Due to its focus on social elements, the gameplay is rather plain. Players looking for games with playability might not find the game entertaining.

Japanese Gamer Reactions:
"Delayed for a year and it still looks like this?! How many years has it been since there were card games like this?"
"For slow people like me, It’s great because it doesn’t have any timing elements!"
"Great casts, looks pretty interesting"

With a theme of baseball and girls, combined with attractive character design, the game was quite anticipated in Japan. When the game launched reviews weren’t particularly good, nor particularly bad. The gameplay is fairly insignificant, with fully-auto game system.

Surprisingly, the game still has support from many players. Many of the positive reviews mentions the adorable expressions characters have during the match sequences. The game isn’t hard to play, which gives time for players to appreciate the character designs.

Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire

Japanese Gamer Reactions:
"Oi, this is just covering up a trashy strategy game with FF."
"Is this game recognized by FF officially?"
"FFXV THE Pay-To-Win GAME, literally pay to win against other people…"

This game features the most traditional town simulation pay-to-win system. Players endlessly developed different features in town and wait for tasks to be complete.

If you’re thinking, “Everything is so slow…” then you can always pay and have things done faster, almost like real life. (lol)

Completing tasks by paying allows players to quickly mow down surrounding players for easy wins.

So what about this game is from FF? Only the title, characters, and architecture. Seriously, that’s it!
