LET'S HAVE A SAKURA WARS THREAD WHO IS BEST SAKURA ALSO ARE YOU EXCITED FOR PROJECT SAKURA WARS THANKS

Sakura taisen isn't very good, it's just some haremshit that happened to get popular. I suspect most people who are 'excited' about this haven't even played any games.
Ratchet best ST5 girl.

SOI FON BEST GIRL TOO BAD SHE'S A CANONICAL LESBIAN

>popular
Not even, I only heard of it on 4 instances aside from playing the game on a hacked wii
>PxZ
Which is cheating for being a game of crossover characters including them
>The current announcement
which makes sense as we're (mostly) all weebs here, and has lead to the most I've ever seen of the series
>Sega commercials
segata sanshiro commercials
>Seeing the girls pictures out of context
They probably just thought those girls looked pretty

Dude has exactly one bodytype for each gender and maybe 3 different faces.
Try reading thru most of Bleach in a single sitting, the amount of sameface going on is bewildering.

I love that they're on record saying that they wanted someone who can draw clothes, since that's literally only thing Kubo is good for. He's bottom tier shitfuck character designer.

Kousuke Fujishima has a massive case of sameface and he still would've been a better choice. I wonder why they didn't bring him back since they brought back most of the veterans.

Fuck, at least it made her stand out somewhat.

What's the best way to play 1-5?

That game so shit. I will never understand why people give a fuck about this joke of a series.
Inb4 it just happens to be the black sheep, etc..

Is she though? Not confirmed ass hole

>he didnt read the epilogue where she marries Yoruichi's little brother

I wait every day for additional news or images from this series.

It's like a seasonal harem anime, but it's on a console! Back then PC players had lots of VNs but it was 'new' to plebes. The tactics part was awful but the type of people who like this don't care about gameplay.

It's kinda like persona 3 or fire emblem awakening

Because characters interacting with characters.

Let's have a thread about a fucking video game series that japan exclusive outside of that one single game that was released in 2005.

Gee user I have no fucking idea what to say in this thread besides the fact that some girls are cute.

Reading the staff interviews for the new one is kind of amazing because it sounds like SEGA does understand how important it is for the new Sakura Wars to do well. It actually sounds like they care about it.

>the fact that some girls are cute.

This is the foundational principle of the series.

Sounds good so far.

TFW the first 4 games still have no translation

HA SHI RE

Not like you would play them

>too bad

QTEs != interacting with characters
Pleb

I loved Sakura Wars 5,

Not enough to learn Japanese, though.

But why else would I have bought the guidebook?

HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO PROCREATE THEN HUH

Best reason to like the series desu

But the game has both. What is your point?

Sumire, like come the fuck on this shouldn't even be in question.

Uses swords, straightforward attacker
>Clarissa
Uses Magic Book, probably semi ranged attacker and healer

Ninja loli tricks, like teleporting, maybe throwing Kunais.

Aside from her holding the Derringer, no idea.

Someone's actually translating the first game for Saturn and expects to release it by the end of Summer

>giant hammer, straightfoward smasher
Truly the best girl for me.

Sure, buddy. And pigs are going to fly.

>Saturn
Really?
I thought it would be for PS2. Saturn games are infamous for being hard as fuck to work with

Well, it is an ongoing translation project, as much as SRW Alpha is.
And we have had a rough script for eons, but something decent and inserted into a game?
That is the issue

Attached: plonk.webm (640x348, 2M)

Yeah, an issue that isn't going to be solved by the end of fucking summer.

When the new game actually launches, I could see that spurring a couple of translations on. Right now? Not a chance in hell.

I like that animation style, which anime is it?

It's one of the first cutscenes in the original Saturn game.

*sips* back when anime was anime.

It has been worked on for 4+ years, so in theory that is enough time to actually do something, but I also see no reason to think the situation has changed.
If it comes out, pleasant surprise.
And if he can hack a saturn game, then working on 2 will be much faster.

twitter.com/PieceSteam/status/1114352585555742720
I don't know why they didn't translate the PS2 game instead, only reason I could think of is that they want to do 2 as well which needs a save from 1 to get the full benefits of, since your previous game's waifu will get extra scenes and shit, but either way it's something

You're just mad you'll never be the Top Star, Sakura

>>It has been worked on for 4+ years, so in theory that is enough time to actually do something,
Is this your first translation rodeo or something?

4+ years is no time at all. Because in reality, you could knock out a game like this in a month if you had ANY level of motivation. People just sit on these projects forever, putting in some token effort so they keep getting their dicks sucked by braindead EOPs who think they'll eventually release something.

Based Sakura.
That's pretty good for such an old game.

I would assume working on the PSP version would have been easier, but whatever

How about the Dreamcast version? That had both 1 and 2 and I think also has save carryover data.

Anyone would like to join the stream for the first game? I'm translating the lines as I play.

>cj_iwakura
This just gets funnier and funnier.

I'm telling you now, abandon that shred of hope you have. For your own sake.

That's one of the flaws with that theory yeah, and if the save transferring was their biggest focus then it really should be Dreamcast from the start, that way the eventual 4 could take advantage of the save file from 2 and 3 for the waifu rivalries

Yeah post it

Coquelicot better pop up in the new one

IIRC you can choose promised girl from dialogue options either way, can't you?

And her peppy theme.

It's funny how the character with the most or second most suffering in the game has that theme

Sure, I'll start streaming in just 10 minutes!

Yay time for some comfy

Exactly why she wants to arukou.

Any chance to have the older videos available too?

Oogami needs to learn to say no to lolis

>You fight against people themed after animals
Okay, wierd but could be cool and believable....

Okay what the actual fuck

Did So long my love almost kill the series?

Are there actually people out there that want to fuck this child?

I guess they're aiming for total sameface. Next game they'll have Hirai do the character designs!

The (((brown))) one.

Not just her.

>Shin Sakura Wars has the whole cast minus Sumire disappear 10 years prior to it, and takes place 12 years after the last game
>will probably still not age the lolis when they inevitably come back
It hurts

I'm hoping Kubo gets to do a manga special for the new game.

Attached: 1554366625133.jpg (1334x959, 401K)

it was almost dead at that point

i just hope the old cast actually does come back. i'd be impressed if they actually killed off every single character from the previous games
they're going with an international corps kind of thing and assuming theres at 4 teams covering oriental, european, american and middle eastern thats a shitload of new characters already

>Sanzigen
>CGI shit

I mean, I'm pretty happy to see a new chapter of this series (my sega's favorite together Valkyria Chronicles) but with this & realistic in-game graphics it'll be pretty soulless. Wish they had chose a more marked toon shading & 2D animation sequences

I love Ratchet!

>There are 70 to 80 songs. We’re aiming for the most songs in the series.
This is exciting, though I'm curious about how good the new cast are at singing and the new songs themselves, and if they might do stage plays again like with the original cast

It's kinda weird how she is the mature option when she is just like, 2-3 years older at 21.

What is better:

Coquelicot with hat on or Coquelicot with hat off?

Coquelicot with maid clothes on.

Sucks ass.

Cherion best girl

Well, better than Diana at least

I like it because it's wholesome and the dialogue choice system is really good and needs to be copied more

It's just Kohran, so it's cool

You take that back, mister

Shit series. Shit thread

I love you too

Wait the original isn't translated for anything?

There are for text format, technically

Seethe without Bleach, Anime would not exist today. Now stfu Kansas boy.

long as the quality's there that's great

1/4 have terrible script tl, 2's mostly complete, while 3 is 99% complete, but yes its all reading from a text file, not an actual tl

Does texthooker work? The language used didn't seem to be that hard. It might be hard for the qtes tho

cant say as id never tried, would imagine itd be a mess once qtes pop up though yeah

Should be possible for the PC version, not sure if they have already a set-up for it though

Wii or PS2 for Sakura Wars V?

I'm ok with this, but i hope they're gonna bring the previous games on modern systems like they did with Shenmue.

Reminder that there's a meme about Kubo that he doesn't know how to draw backgrounds so he doesn't even bother most of the time.

Both are piss easy to emulate, but PS2 is the one that has japanese dub.

I can’t believe Sega redemption arc is actually happening.

The PC versions were made for win 9x so good luck trying to get those to work without virtual machining it.

Da fuq! Why is there so much fanart already?

thats from kubo tite though

That’s official art from the Famitsu issue.

Dude nice

If Greek women actually looked as good as Anastasia, I would have tried to not become a wizard

Post pics at least damn

I do not have much you cannot find in the trailers or in the couple pics posted in the thread.

And people hate on Kubo

This does not have the same style and effort of Bleach.
They could have hired any other generic designer and the design would be the same.

How does that outfit even work?

Pants, sleeveless shirt, and a cover-up, though it is more ornamental that what'd you normally see.

Do you need to play these games chronologically or are they standalone?

AAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY AM I SO ALONE END IT ALL

Attached: 1553776343469.jpg (480x371, 25K)

1-4 are a set. 5 is stand alone though it makes mention of the previous 4. No idea how much 6 will touch on the previous games, would assume a decent bit.

1-4 is the same protagonist with interconnected cast , V is same universe but mostly standalone

thx anons, il be waitin for the translations, i like the style and designs.

Good luck with that, you might have 4 by 2040 or so at the pace its taken to get 1 tl'd. V is tl'd though so i guess you have the worst one to play if you like

>il be waitin for the translations
You a funny guy.

Attached: 1530376144141.gif (340x340, 134K)

5 was released in English but you won't play it because you don't really play video grames

Im trying to get her ending in ST1 but that fucking Kohran ruined my flags and is somehow at the top of the romance chart.

You can choose from the top 3 for going to the festival and clearing ending, IIRC

All I know about this game is this video.
youtu.be/SesvTAnhYEw?t=116

Pant's front is way too low though and doesn't seem to have anything keeping it closed, it should be sliding all over the place, and that shirt just seems like a braless wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen

Great video I kek'd many times

guess i have a reason to finally start learning Japanese proper now

Attached: 1553420374599.jpg (1200x794, 82K)

This fucking happened to me and I had to just watch the rest of the game on youtube becuse I was using the script and the script only follows Sakura. Fucking Kohran

Oh wish I knew that.

I don't know why I was expecting this.
youtube.com/watch?v=B6LQyy3TgyY

yeah can do that in all 3 games, so even if the guide heavily favors sakura, not too hard to get any girl in the top 3 even going blind just using that makeshift tl

Jesus this is too fucking cute

Is the movie worth watching?

The ovas/movies are petty good

Nice, thanks
