Have never played a Gust game before except for one Atelier for half an hour-ish, have to say this looks really cool and stylish and I'm super hyped for it. Reviews across the board say it's a convention breaker. Also has a bomb ass soundtrack from what I've listened to already.
What are your thoughts
It looks like excessively pandering trash but if that's your deal then I hope you enjoy it.

I don't know what to say about this game.
Everything looks absolutely awesome, the graphics, the sceneries, the mecha-design, the clothes, the UI, everything.
But the characters look so exaggerately generic and monotonous that it completely kills everything.

I actually think the character models look pretty nice, better than Idolm@s models and that's saying a lot.
I also just have a thing for Heterochromia. But the shaders they're using for skin/hair look really good in action.

Porn games have better models.

Famitsu basically gave it a C+ but Gust games have never gotten stellar reviews
it looks like a game 100% made for young japanese girls, everything from the heroines to the bright pastel color palette, but the main audience is gonna be lonely weebs

There is no yuri.
>>382462218
well its about magical girls after all, thats normal
>>382460754
I would say the models are pretty dang good adaptions of the original character designs, but the designs aren't much to my taste in the first place.
>>382462218
This is pretty clearly aimed at horny otaku though, even if it's aping media that's typically for little girls.

Studies show that 9-year-old girls and 30-year-old single men have similar taste in cartoons

what studies
>>382465771
Asspull study. It's a popular program.
>>382458565
I was looking forward to it for being Gust's big new original project and having interesting aesthetics and a great soundtrack (as expected of Gust), but apparently there's literally $100 worth of DLC for it.

IM@S models were pretty shit until Platinum Stars.

>Magical girls
>Made for young Japanese girls
How naive you are.
>>382466618
modern IM@S models are pretty much the best you're gonna get for anime cel shading. I was just saying these surprised me by doing them one more.
If it's anything like other Gust games it'll look pretty but run like shit.
The Atelier games didn't exactly need a stable framerate for the gameplay but it made them significantly less comfy.

>If it's anything like other Gust games it'll look pretty
But Gust games have never looked good outside of the character models.
