    Blue Archive — Students and Sensei and Shoot-Ups, Oh My!

    BL thred for the rootin' tootin' shootin' stoodn' mobage

    Yes, I'm already in a club.

    Hina and Shirok best girls, but they're all pretty great.

    Post spoils and fails, talk shop and strats, and argue whether Eden Treaty's all it's cracked up to be (It is, but...)

    But most importantly, keep it light and breezy, Senseis of Schale.

    All servers welcome to discuss, but keep anything not released in global yet and related to the actual story content in the spoiler tags.

    S. Chise kicked my ass. I got like 12 3* and not a single one of them was Chise. I needed to spark her. Anyone here can feel free to add me if they wish.


    I'll probably just save for Sports Yuuka and the tensai bishoujo hacker for now. I've had my eyes on Himari since the first decagrammaton event. Yukana is way too damn good at her job.

    That's honestly like maybe only 20% of the appeal, at best. The kind of gun they're using is not even specified in their profiles and people have to figure it out themselves.

    I'm torn on whether or not to consider any part of this game better than LB6 (but that's kind of unfair), but it definitely wins in the consistency department. The game has never missed, some of the plotlines are at worst just weaker than others.

    LB6 is the best individual story gacha has made but FGO has too many downs and boring stories for me. This one is consistently nice like you said.

    I like how this game had a reputation mainly for being horny and now people are sticking around because apparently the story is good.

    I was aware of it since the JP launch, but initially skipped out on it because yeah, I thought it was just horny (had mostly just seen Karin's L2D). I decided to give it a chance when the Global version released because I was deeply bored, and it turned out to both be way less horny than I expected (though still pretty horny) and have a genuinely well-written story and cast of characters. The developer interviews are particularly illuminating in this respect.

    For reference, isakusan is the scenario director, whereas hwansang is the art director. This is isakusan's first major work, but hwansang is probably known for illustrating a lot of characters in Elsword.

    It's the best of both worlds.

    It's a DeepL translation of the artbook interview. For those who know Japanese, here is the untranslated version of the same interview.

    TBH though that seems to be the consensus for most long running gacha games, like the aforementioned GFL, and I've even heard that about NIKKE, so unfortunately at this point I don't feel it means much unless someone tries the game out for themselves.

    That was also very disappointing, yes.

    If the story really is good though, I might end up giving this a second shot at some point.

    I am Sensei.
    I am only human.
    Except when it's funny when Hina blows me away like we're in a gag romcom manga. Then I am invincible like a cartoon character.
    this is the only thing I need outta life, BA-wise

    Gun nuts are subhuman and BA knows it. They're more like accessories or tools to the students than their defining trait. It's more concerned with slice of life fun times, characterization, pseudo-science, headscratcher mysticism, and what's-probably-deep-lore.

    was having fun reading through Trinity Arc Chapter 3, my favorite chapter yet. But then suddenly there is this mission that requires using your own unit, which I'm very underleveled because the enemies are around level 60s while my account is still level 43.

    Yeah, one of the thing that filters me the most about BA is just how high the difficulty ceilings are for each chapter. With FGO, you can go all the way to LB6 with just the free starting SSR fully leveled with the special ascension, a couple of fodders and a Friend Support, but with BA you have grind through everything.

    It was acceptable because all the story mode so far is using story units with appropriate level. But this one mission specifically ask me to use my own
