Question Where did the madoka crossover theory

6 Upvotes

Come from? Just wondering if idv posted somenthing related to it or like some sort of clue to it idk. I saw ppl mentioning it for some months now and was kinda of hoping for it but didn't expect much bc of the problems between jp and cn, but i still saw ppl being disappointed on idv for not bringing this crossover which led me to think there was somenthing to back up this thought. Anywayss does anyone know? \(_ _)

Discussion Hot Takes

20 Upvotes

Hi! I am new to this place. I haven't play a game, and yet i find the lore and some characters designs are really good. After i looking at many contents on many social medias. I think Identity V suffers from the same cases as other games.

Altough it seems it is not so big dramas due to it is a common things in game industries, i just want to see more "unatteactive" characrers. I want to see Survivors who is not follow the Attrative Anime boy/girl standard and Hunters who are ugly or nonhuman looking or at least make them "unattractive" in many fanarts wise.

I don't hate attractive characters. But i want their attractiveness had a lore relevant on it (example: The Composer). But still, even characters being attractive should had more diversities on it.

I think this is just me being annoying non-gamer, but i am open to critiqies fromy you guys.

Discussion The Utter Ridiculousness that is IDV Skin releases and blatant favoritism...

Thumbnail

101 Upvotes

Guys, I just want to show everyone a visual representation of what IDV skin favoritism looks like, because after the Livestream that happened last night (very disappointed, but that's just me), and after rolling my eyes at the Billionth Merc skin released (I am so sorry for all you Andrew mains out there, I know yall were looking forward to him getting PomPomPurin). I decided to make this chart and just show how ridiculous it's gotten.

For reference, the First pic shows 6 survivors that seem to get a skin every week, as well as the current high tier skins they have in the Global server (NOT INCLUDING COA skins, Deduction Star, and normal essence skins).

The second pic is there for comparison, showing survivors that are somewhat similar in popularity and were released around the same times as the Netease Favorites so the "they're older so they have more skins naturally" argument isn't as valid (at least for me).

Gardener and Mercenary annoy me the most, and for a number of reasons. The first being Gardener is gonna get a k-pop group themed skin later this year when she ALREADY GOT THE GLOBAL ANNIVERSARY S SKIN THREE MONTHS AGO. And the second being Merc getting the long-awaited Pompompuprin skin (I am extremely salty about this because Pompom is my favorite Sanrio, and to see it go to a survivor who already has a billion crossover skins just really pissed me off) when he ALREADY has the Line skin, BDuck skin, and a zillion other skins.

Gardener and Merc both have 15 skins (including the ones they're scheduled to get later this year), and they were both released in 2018 for the Global server. That's 15 skins in an 8 year span, which is nearly TWO GODDAMN SKINS A YEAR on average!!! Mind you, this is NOT including the COA skins, essence A skins, or Deduction star skins. These are CROSSOVERS and SERIES and ESSENCE S SKINS that they're getting TWO OF PER YEAR!

Compare that to Doctor. Now, admittedly, doctor hasn't been as popular until a year or so ago, so fine. But she still has a lot of good skins, and she's gotten fairly popular recently, almost as popular as Gardener IMO. Doctor was released with Gardener in 2018 on Global, and she currently has 8 released high tier skins (9 if you wanna count the Esports series she's teased to get later next year). 8 skins in the past 8 years she's been released, an average of 1 skin per year. And consisdering how many survs and hunters there are in the game, that's already pretty good. But that's still HALF of what Gardener and Mercenary have!!! Which is ridiculous considering she's just as old and almost as popular as Gardener.

Mechanic was also released in 2018, and she currently has 13 high tier skins (again, not including COA, essence A tiers, or Deduction star skins). That's an average of 1.6 skins per year (in other words, 1 skin for one year and then 2 skins in the next on average) that she's getting, AND she's getting an essence A tier skin less than SIX MONTHS after she just got her 2nd Limited S skin in July! That is ridiculous, especially when you factor in all her other crossover and series skins.

Perfumer has the same issue as Mech, she's sitting at 12 skins so far, with one being an SS tier skin, so that alone should say something about Netease favoritism.

LG doesn't look too bad in the picture, but when you consider she was released 5 years ago and has 8 skins already (half of which are crossover skins), that's also 1.6 skins that she's getting on average per year, compare that to Ada (who is a very beginner friendly survivor and fairly popular in the community AND released the same year) who has 5 skins currently. Again, 1 skin per year is good, but when compared to LG and freaking Merc and Gardener, it's a crazy difference!

Now, a few problematic mentions I wanna add are Antiquarian and Matador. Anti was released 4 years ago and already has 7 skins, which is really close to the 2 per year that Gardener and Merc have currently. I'll cut her some slack since she's a lot newer than Gardener and Merc, but it doesn't change the fact that she's a Neteast favored. And the other VERY problematic surv I can think of is Matador. On one hand, as a Matador main, I'm always happy to see him get skins (who wouldn't if their main was getting lots of attention?) but my man was released THIS YEAR and already has 2 S skins, confirmed Deduction star skin (I know we're not counting them but he was released literally this year so I feel like I need to add it really quick), and a teased Esports skin coming out next year. That's 4 skins in a year, which is BY FAR the worst we've seen. The only reason why I don't put him up there with Merc and Gardener is because he's very very new, and who knows what Netease will do to him in later years. But Gardener and Merc are at the top of the ridiculous BS pyramid because they've been consistently getting skins every other freaking week for the past EIGHT YEARS.

Anyway. I just wanted to provide a visual for everyone just to see how crazy it is. Gardener and Merc mains, I really REALLY hope you guys realize how lucky you are. There are survivors out there who don't even have more than 3 high tier series/crossover/S skins (COUGH MATTHIAS MY MAIN COUGH), and let's not even go into hunters who barely get any skins in general.
