This is the next target for IGN, Kotaku and Eurogamer.

Idk, Nikki has been an IP that does well enough in the East. I don't think it has enough moving power to be an IGN (and alikes) target due to the fact it's basically a Barbie Doll game with extra steps, gacha, and with an actual storyline.
I'm betting more on somehow these "news outlets" aiming at Inzoi for being a direct competitor at The Sims.

Don't try to rationalize from a normal person POV. They will attack this game because:
- It's going mainstream on PS5.
- Evil Chinese devs reinforce stereotypes about femininity, bla bla bla.
- Gacha this, gacha that.
-Devs may have said something controversial in the last 15 years.
- Lolis this, lolis that.
This one is so easy to predict.

The fact you think this is normal and fine is a real problem, OK case in point go to anyone you know and explain a gatcha system to them and then tell them you play games that include them. Just go do it, have a regular conversation about it with actual people.
They will think your insane, now go talk to your mate who's a hardcore alcoholic and gambler, yeah he will be AOK with that shit.

Don't give me this shit, please.
Explain to me realistic ways to monetize a game with the budget of Genshin Impact or ZZZ. Let's see who the insane is.

Subscription based, so you, now that we have established this fact...

I can already see it but hope it doesn't. Game will do well enough and the deranged brigade will be fuming as par for the course.

Data pulled from Google, not from my ass:
How much money did FINAL FANTASY XIV Online make? We estimate that FINAL FANTASY XIV Online made $73,496,113.56in gross revenue since its release.
Genshin Impact costs around 200M per year. It's just not possible. Individual subscription models are dying anyways, that's not workable. The other option is a traditional retail price + infinite season passes and MTX, but people don't spend that kind of money on anime games.
If you have some magic formula, share it with us, or even better, sell it to Mihoyo. I'm sure they haven't thought about it.
The funny thing is that this game is a 100% female and 100% Chinese thing and those rags will claim it's for virgin otakus or something along those lines. Its only redeeming factor is the involvement of one of the creators of Zelda BOTW.

Has anyone actually seen a breakdown of the costs and where they go or are people just parroting the PR release? What if 90% of that cost is marketing? We don't know we just know genshin makes shit tons of money (off poor addicted gamblers who have no self control) and spend a small portion of that on there game.
Also Mihoyo dousent want models for sustainable good games, they want ideas that let them pop out a single character and then have people spend hundreds to thousands gambling on it. The entire games existence is to annoy you into spending money, I don't laugh at games like this because it's anime weeb shit, I laugh because people play a game designed from the ground up to annoy you and be utterly shit at you for long periods of time. When there's plenty of actually good games trying to be a good game available.
Frankly it's not an accident the GaaS rush came out of this shit mentality. Just wait until the servers get shut off. There's a fair balance available, gatcha is specifically designed to be the worst.

Seems pretty lame if you ask me. 1 hour gameplay from July 2024. Seems like a lot of cozy mobile MMO kind of games.
I will stick with Atelier series.
Edit: Oh bugger it does have gacha garbage in here. Pull for better clothes.
